So much tension around here in New York. They want to fine you for every little thing you do.
I’ve got to write about my character every day. I’ve got to find out where he lives, what bus he catches to school, and stuff like that. You’ve got to know every little thing about him so when you do it, it feels natural.
I was a surf bum wannabe. I left home at age 17 and moved to Southern California to try to take up surfing as a vocation, but this was in 1964, and there was this nasty little thing called the Vietnam War. As a result, I got drafted.
The art world is a very prissy little thing over in the corner, while the major cultural forces are being determined by techno science.
You are a saucy little thing aren’t you?
It puts you in a kind of a strange situation where everybody is looking at every little thing you do.
I’ve always been a fan of Kate Winslet. She’s very classy and a sexy little thing, too.
The storytelling in a movie is in the cut; it’s in the edit. It’s not an actor’s job, really. Your job is such a tiny little thing, and I love the feeling of juggling or tightrope walking.
Politicians are actors, too, don’t you think? Usually, if you like people and you’re outgoing, not a shy little thing, you can do pretty well in politics.
Justin Timberlake, Britney Spears all the rappers, they’re doing my dances and they’re making billions doing my dances. When they do that little thing they do with their hands that’s The Fly and The Pony.
I would skate in the ’80s. I started skating with Jordan 1s, and that was a big deal. I looked different, because no one was getting with Jordan 1s. That became my little thing. I grew up in Hollywood.
Attitude is a little thing that makes a big difference.
I think the tiniest little thing can change the course of your day, which can change the course of your year, which can change who you are.
I overheard things in the Woolworths when I was a child, people saying, ‘Oh, poor, little thing,’ as if they had some understanding that I was being born biracial into a world that was still very difficult for interracial marriages and biracial children.
Do you think it is only a little thing to possess a house from which lovely things can be seen?
I find solace in animals. I have got a stray dog at home called Candy. I picked it up while I was waiting at the airport one day. I always wanted to have a ‘macho’ dog but got this sweet little thing instead.
We all have those days when you feel like you’re against the world, every little thing goes wrong and your blood pressure is up. And you feel like punching somebody!
Every little thing I’ve done so far has been a dream of mine, and I’ve been able to accomplish it. It’s still a dream every day.
Getting older, I realize I’ve had a very fortunate life. I’ve had a budget that’s allowed me to do just about any silly little thing the mind could conjure up, and I’m still alive and here.
Big things, a real crisis, I think I’m pretty good, but this little thing will just wallop me. I think I’m managing depression better now: when the mood comes, I just try and sit it out.
I do have odd habits. I check under my bed every night for the bogeyman. That’s just a little thing, though.
Have confidence that if you have done a little thing well, you can do a bigger thing well too.
In the beginning, every little thing used to bother me. Now, even the worst sounding things sound like a joke because I’ve seen everything.
Texas is so big, and the place where I grew up was so little, and I was such a little thing growing up in the middle of it. I had two choices: I could either spend my life feeling insignificant, or I could look on the life I lived as a microcosm of the universe.
Never be afraid to ask when you don’t understand. It sounds like a little thing, but awful things have happened, international incidents have flared, and markets have collapsed just because people couldn’t make sense of what was being said. They didn’t ask ‘why?’ because they thought it would make them look stupid.
