Movies are my pill. I can talk non-stop about them.
The idea that one might use art for ‘instrumental’ reasons tends to set off alarm bells at the heart of the cultural elite, who contend that it’s not a pill, that it shouldn’t be asked to perform some specific function, especially something as egocentric as to ‘cheer you up’ or to ‘make you a more empathetic person.’
As well as being a creative genius, Vidal Sassoon was a formative figure of the Sixties. Along with the Pill and the mini-skirt, his influence was truly liberating.
There’s not a pill you can take; there’s not a class you can go to. Stupid is forever.
My mother had an illegal abortion in 1960, which was the year the birth control pill came out, but I guess a little late for her, but – and I never knew. I found out when my father, after her death, got her FBI file.
The funny thing is, when I ask people with dark skin if they would change their color, they tell me no, and when I ask women if they would rather be men, they tell me no, and I get the same response when I ask people with unusual anatomies if they would take a magic pill to erase their unusual features.
To me, the biggest revolution of the 20th century was the pill.
I’m a wonderful disaster. So are you. We’re all a mess. We’re in this culture that says take this pill and you’ll be happy, go on this diet and you’ll be thinner, have your teeth whitened, people will love you more.
I was in graduate school. I had a birth control accident and went to get the morning after pill.
I went to Cardiff on trial for six weeks and felt I did really well, but then they turned around and said they weren’t going to sign me. It was a bitter pill to swallow because Hereford, where I was playing at the time, were scrapping their youth team, so I didn’t have any other options.
Of all bugs, growing up I just loved the pill bugs. They roll up, you play with them, you wait for them to open up, and then when you touch them they roll up again. I just love that.
When I did lose weight, by the way, I did it because my doctor recommended it. My secret isn’t a pill. I took individual steps to eat more healthily, cutting down on unhealthy snacking and the empty calories of alcohol.
Never under any circumstances take a sleeping pill and a laxative on the same night.
They’re supposed to cure everything. Want a baby? Have a Brandreth pill. Don’t want a baby? Have a Brandreth pill.
I got so anxious sitting in the make-up chair for hours with my face covered. I had my doctor write a prescription for valium. I couldn’t have done it without the pill.
I hate taking pills. Like, I probably haven’t taken a pill in over 10 years.
I had a very good babyface run, but establishing a monster heel – which I think I would have excelled at – and a poor WrestleMania track record is a hard pill to swallow.
Comedy’s the ultimate pill that helps the really hard truths and hard facts go down, right?
I am not going to eat something that I have been told is not good for my system, and I do what I can to eat energy food, such as lean meats, whole grains, and lots of fruit and vegetables. Without this daily habit, my body would have given up a long time ago. There is no magic pill, no magic drink, no magic food.
The hardest pill for me to swallow has been receiving recognition, getting dressed up, going to events. That’s the part that has always terrified me. You can see dozens of photos where I have zero hair and makeup and I’m wearing my own jeans and T-shirt, because I was not that interested in that side of it.
With too much wash and wear, sweaters get fuzzy or start to pill. Having a fabric shaver is a game changer. It makes my sweaters look brand-new.
The biggest development in reproductive biology is the birth-control pill. Nobody ever talks about it, but look at the consequences: demographics; aging populations; the sinking population of Europe, Japan; immigration. It’s incredible.
In American culture we are supposed to take a pill when we’re depressed or in grief as opposed to actually feeling.
I was reading about an age pill that has been developed which they claim will make you live longer. That is not for me.
