For me, acting was a way of releasing all of this stuff that I had inside - and a way for me to tell the stories of the people I knew, so that their spirit could live through me.
‐‐ Ving Rhames
For me, acting was a way of taking destructive energy and doing something productive with it, and in that way it was quite a life saver.
‐‐ Nicolas Cage
For me, acting was always a way to explore emotions - to dip into the well and really try to reach rock bottom down there. That was the most exciting part of it. I hadn't found anything that really allowed me to do that until I came upon acting.
‐‐ Jessica Lange
For me, acting was something I fell into.
‐‐ Georg Stanford Brown
For me, actors have to have a character, an aura, body language. They're not models. They used to call actors models. But I want them to participate in the film.
‐‐ Pawel Pawlikowski
For me, adventures are a vehicle for travelling deep into the fabric of society, coming to know the environmental conditions that shape people's lives and viewing the present in the context of history.
‐‐ Tim Cope
For me all games are finals.
‐‐ Juan Ramon Lopez Caro
For me, all the materials and objects I employ come from a specific space that's very personal.
‐‐ Rashid Johnson
For me, already being part of a single parent household and knowing it was just me and my mom, you'd would wake up times and hope that the next day you'd be able to be alongside your mother because she was out trying to make sure that I was taken care of. But all I cared about was her being home.
‐‐ LeBron James
For me, America is really, truly the indispensable nation.
‐‐ Madeleine Albright
For me, 'Amy' is a very dark film about love.
‐‐ Asif Kapadia
For me, an aerial picture is no different than a close-up portrait. It's a question of framing and angle. Helicopters are great for that. But I've also used planes. Of course, I always have a harness.
‐‐ Yann Arthus-Bertrand
For me, an area of moral clarity is: you're in front of someone who's suffering and you have the tools at your disposal to alleviate that suffering or even eradicate it, and you act.
‐‐ Paul Farmer
For me, an ideal novel is a dialogue between writer and reader, both a collaborative experience and an intimate exchange of emotions and ideas. The reader just might be the most powerful tool in a writer's arsenal.
‐‐ Jonathan Evison
For me an object is something living. This cigarette or this box of matches contains a secret life much more intense than that of certain human beings.
‐‐ Joan Miro
For me, ancestry is just one thing that connects us to people, and feeling connected to other people is generally a good thing, as long as one kind of connection does not have primacy over all the others. Heredity, race and nationhood are not the best criteria by which to judge our fellow humans.
‐‐ Jeremy Hardy
For me and accent work, I think once you've figured out where that energy is, where the sound is in your throat or your mouth, it's a whole lot easier to do.
‐‐ Allison Tolman
For me and for I'm sure any actor, each role is a different challenge to prepare for in a different way.
‐‐ John Hawkes
For me, and for many other people with disabilities, our status as disabled people is one of which we are fiercely proud.
‐‐ Stella Young
For me, and I suspect for lots of other people too, bad things actually sometimes make you think more about faith and the fact that you're not facing these things on your own.
‐‐ David Cameron
For me, and maybe for many religious kids of the '60s, the church lost relevance the more it became a surrogate in the movement for social and political change.
‐‐ Mike McCurry
For me, and most of the other players, too, if you had to pick one of the four Grand Slams, you would pick Wimbledon. It's got tradition, it's got atmosphere, and it's got mystique.
‐‐ Stefan Edberg
For me and my entire generation, we took on this kind of sarcastic, ironic, snarkiness because it seemed the most extreme reaction to the earnestness of hippies.
‐‐ Chuck Palahniuk
For me and my films, I want my audience to experience cinema in its full glory. It's not just visual, it's audio as well. It's emotional, and I want you to be engaged with not just the scene but with the characters.
‐‐ James Wan
For me and my husband, one of my biggest peeves is that I can't stand for an old friend or a woman to walk in the room and just run up and speak to my husband, but they don't talk to me.
‐‐ Ashton Shepherd
For me and my wife, it was love at first sight.
‐‐ Jeff Bridges
For me, and this may not be everybody, but because I do love country music so much, there's such a feeling of home in Nashville, especially because it's such a small town. You bring up one song, everybody knows who wrote it, everybody knows their mother and what their cell number is, and all of the stories.
‐‐ Garrett Hedlund
For me, Anthony Powell is a religion. I read 'A Dance to the Music of Time' every few years.
‐‐ Alan Furst
For me, any book I'm writing is also a chance to get in and research and read and learn things that I maybe only knew a little bit about before.
‐‐ Tad Williams
For me, any fiction of nobles and swords necessarily has to be a story of corruption, injustice and savagely violent conflict - because any other treatment is going to have all the heft and realistic honesty of a bedtime fairy tale for five year olds.
‐‐ Richard K. Morgan
For me, any kind of thing that has stood for 100 years tells me of the health of that thing. So, cinema completing a hundred years in India just says that it is very healthy.
‐‐ Anurag Kashyap
For me, anyone who is over 80, I generally sit down and have a chat to because he is over 80, and he is going OK.
‐‐ Gerry Harvey
For me, anything can be music! I can get huge enjoyment and be moved totally by the purity and perfection of some Renaissance polyphony, but equally I can feel emotion in the expectant hum of a big old guitar amp just before the strings are hit.
‐‐ Steven Price
For me anyway, until I was exposed to doing improvisation and walking onto a stage without any script, I would have never felt comfortable enough to walk into a room with someone like Larry David and audition.
‐‐ Cheryl Hines
For me, appropriations bills are the glue. These are the bills that must move, no matter what, to keep the government functioning as a reliable element of our society. The Appropriations Committee shouldn't be the most political place to be; it's the place where we have to make the institution function for the country.
‐‐ Marcy Kaptur
For me archaeology is not a source of illustrations for written texts, but an independent source of historical information, with no less value and importance, sometimes more importance, that the written sources.
‐‐ Michael Rostovtzeff
For me, architecture is the means, not the end. It's a means of making different life forms possible.
‐‐ Bjarke Ingels
For me, arguably the story of telomeres and telomerase began thousands of years ago, in the cornfields of the Maya highlands of Central America.
‐‐ Elizabeth Blackburn
For me, Arik Sharon - I remember his courage and inspiration. I want to remember him the way he really was, not as an aging 80-year-old man living in bed helpless and unconscious.
‐‐ Ehud Olmert
For me, 'Arrested Development' is the cornerstone of recent television comedy. It's so incredibly flawless and perfect.
‐‐ John Krasinski
For me art and chess are closely related, both are forms in which the self finds beauty and expression.
‐‐ Vladimir Kramnik
For me, art has to have two things to really blow me away: a strong concept and drama.
‐‐ Alix Smith
For me, art is about learning and about living with people. It's alive.
‐‐ Miuccia Prada
For me, art is always a kind of theater.
‐‐ Damien Hirst
For me, art is always a kind of theater. When I started the spot paintings, I made them as an endless series. But I was never serious about it being an endless series. It was just an implied endless series. The theater means you just have to make it look good for that moment in the spotlight.
‐‐ Damien Hirst
For me, art is like a big support group, where you go and meet people who think the same way, and you go, 'Okay, I'm not nuts.'
‐‐ Birgitte Hjort Sorensen
For me, art is make-believe. It's enchantment. It's a fable. I'm enjoying that and playing with it. Of course it's serious, and art is serious, but I'm not going to rarefy it.
‐‐ Shea Hembrey
For me, art is not 'brooding.' It comes from someplace that is more fun and that has a kind of electricity to it.
‐‐ Rachel Kushner
For me, art is such a wide concept - anything can be art.
‐‐ Sebastiao Salgado
For me, art is supposed to be a question mark.
‐‐ Marilyn Manson
