Anxiety, it just stops your life.
‐‐ Amanda Seyfried
Any abhorrent behavior is more interesting to me. I'm always amazed when somebody asks me, 'Why don't you write something about nice people?' Because nice people are boring, that's why.
‐‐ Terence Winter
Any abuse of animals is the same as abuse of men, women, or children.
‐‐ Alison Goldfrapp
Any acceleration constitutes progress, Miss Glory. Nature had no understanding of the modern rate of work. From a technical standpoint the whole of childhood is pure nonsense. Simply wasted time. An untenable waste of time.
‐‐ Karel Capek
Any accolades that anybody puts toward this band really makes me feel good, because I have devoted such a big part of my life to this band, making it what I want it to be.
‐‐ Charlie Daniels
Any act often repeated soon forms a habit; and habit allowed, steady gains in strength, At first it may be but as a spider's web, easily broken through, but if not resisted it soon binds us with chains of steel.
‐‐ Tryon Edwards
Any acting is a stretch of the imagination. That's your job. Acting is truth in imaginary circumstances. Acting with green screen or a motion capture stage, you're striving for absolute truth in absolutely imaginary circumstances.
‐‐ Sam Worthington
Any acting job that I ever got, I always treated it like I was a neophyte; I didn't know what I was doing, and I was going to work just as hard as I do on my stand-up.
‐‐ Patton Oswalt
Any action is often better than no action, especially if you have been stuck in an unhappy situation for a long time. If it is a mistake, at least you learn something, in which case it's no longer a mistake. If you remain stuck, you learn nothing.
‐‐ Eckhart Tolle
Any active sportsman has to be very focused; you've got to be in the right frame of mind. If your energy is diverted in various directions, you do not achieve the results. I need to know when to switch on and switch off: and the rest of the things happen around that. Cricket is in the foreground, the rest is in the background.
‐‐ Sachin Tendulkar
Any activity becomes creative when the doer cares about doing it right or better.
‐‐ John Updike
Any actor has their moments of being stressed, but the great part about this job is that it's so unpredictable, and that's what I like. I love spontaneity. I don't ever want to be bored, doing the same thing from 9 to 5.
‐‐ Liana Liberato
Any actor is happy to be involved with something that's challenging, controversial, and not easily palatable. Things that are too dumbed down or easy to swallow are uninteresting... It's good when people have such a polarizing response.
‐‐ Adam Driver
Any actor or actress that tells you that they don't watch their stuff is lying.
‐‐ Amy Poehler
Any actor that's like, 'I hate the fact that I'm getting all of this attention,' is a liar. Especially when it's from the opposite sex.
‐‐ Donald Faison
Any actor wants their movies and their work to be seen. You don't make a movie or get into this profession for your work not to be seen and just to show them to your mates at home.
‐‐ Sam Worthington
Any actor wants to do interesting roles, different roles. It's not all that much fun to do the same thing over and over again.
‐‐ Chris Pine
Any actor who is being honest will admit there's always a small or large part of the real you in every character. It's impossible not to have that.
‐‐ Jerry Ferrara
Any actor who judges his character is a fool - for every role you play you've got to absorb that character's motives and justifications.
‐‐ Alan Rickman
Any actor will tell you, anybody in the public eye, that the tabloids are the worst kind of ramification of being a celebrity.
‐‐ Tracey Gold
Any actor will tell you that you go where the work is, especially when you have children.
‐‐ Nicole Ari Parker
Any actor will tell you there's more of a schedule to doing a television show. That's why you'll notice a lot of big movie actors are doing television, and they'll tell you, it's because of the schedule.
‐‐ Jason Marsden
Any actor working a long time should know how a shot is set up, where to place themselves, how to handle the lines. I'm a member of the crew, like the best boy, the electrician. What I'm good at is making eyes at the camera.
‐‐ Jodie Foster
Any actor worth his salt has a responsibility to reinvent himself from part to part.
‐‐ Matt Smith
Any actress will tell you - it's really hard. If you're not an A-list Hollywood movie star, if you're in the middle, there are people who assume you wouldn't do certain things without even asking you, when actually you probably would. And there are people who always think you are busy doing something else.
‐‐ Martine McCutcheon
Any actress will tell you, when you've been given a starring role in the initial run of a show, you want to be getting the standing ovations every night, not just on review night.
‐‐ Martine McCutcheon
Any adaptation - and I've done three in my career. I did 'Sweeney Todd' and 'Hugo' and 'Coriolanus.' It's important to find what makes it a movie as opposed to just a film presentation of a stage play.
‐‐ John Logan
Any adaptation is a translation, and there is such a thing as an unreadably faithful translation; and I believe a degree of reinterpretation for the new language may be not only inevitable but desirable.
‐‐ David Mitchell
Any adjective you put before the noun 'writer' is going to be limiting in some way. Whether it's feminist writer, Jewish writer, Russian writer, or whatever.
‐‐ Alice McDermott
Any administration foolish enough to call ketchup a vegetable cannot be expected to cut the mustard.
‐‐ John Glenn
Any affair, by its very nature, is quite dysfunctional.
‐‐ Rebekah Brooks
Any affectation whatsoever in dress implies, in my mind, a flaw in the understanding.
‐‐ Philip Stanhope, 4th Earl of Chesterfield
Any agreement that will strengthen Israel - the Kulanu party will be there to support it.
‐‐ Moshe Kahlon
Any agreement that you have isn't going to be based on North Korea's intentions or trust.
‐‐ Mitchell Reiss
Any agreement with Iran should have strong verification and enforcement safeguards to prevent future cheating.
‐‐ Bill Flores
Any album that I ever put out I'm going to send it to country radio first.
‐‐ Deana Carter
Any album that you pick up of mine, you know it's an Akon album. The guests are very limited, and you get to really feel the experience. You get the Akon experience when you get the albums. I always want to make sure that stays the way it is. I don't want to flood the album to where you lose focus on why you bought it.
‐‐ Akon
Any alternative culture that inspires a lot of passion and inspiration is also in danger of being set in its ways, almost from the moment it's born.
‐‐ Jello Biafra
Any aluminum product may scratch or chip with use, exposing its natural silver color. That is normal.
‐‐ Phil Schiller
Any Ambassador or Foreign Service Officer who has his or her head screwed on right knows that the U.S. position in the world is far more dependent on our ability to compete in world markets.
‐‐ Lawrence Eagleburger
Any American who has spent time in Iraq or Afghanistan will tell you: the closer you get, the less certain you are of anything. If you are in Iraq, if you are in Afghanistan, everything is ambiguous. Everything is murky and gray and uncertain and possibly lethal.
‐‐ Dexter Filkins
Any American who is prepared to run for president should automatically, by definition, be disqualified from ever doing so.
‐‐ Gore Vidal
Any American who joins al Qaeda will know full well that they have joined an organization that is at war with the United States. Any American who did that should know well that they in fact are part of an enemy... and that the U.S. will do anything that is possible to destroy that enemy to save American lives.
‐‐ John O. Brennan
Any anxieties publishers have about putting a child on the front cover of a book who isn't white is very old fashioned.
‐‐ Malorie Blackman
Any architectural project we do takes at least four or five years, so increasingly there is a discrepancy between the acceleration of culture and the continuing slowness of architecture.
‐‐ Rem Koolhaas
Any art communicates what you're in the mood to receive.
‐‐ Larry Rivers
Any art worth its name requires you to be fundamentally lost for a very long time.
‐‐ Junot Diaz
Any art worthy of its name should address 'life', 'man', 'nature', 'death' and 'tragedy'.
‐‐ Barnett Newman
Any Arthurian enthusiast who has watched 'Merlin' has probably concluded that it's not accurate whatsoever - but, it's not meant to be. It's not meant to be a true telling. It's in a fantasy setting, it's really concentrating on the fantasy element.
‐‐ Colin Morgan
Any article's good. Long as it's publicity, I think that's all that matters. I think it's advancement for my career.
‐‐ Brian Wilson
