Listen, here's the thing about an English degree - if you sat somebody down and asked them to make a list of the writers they admire over the last hundred years, see how many of them got a degree in English.
‐‐ David Mamet
Listen, I am such a nerd. I'm not one of those girls that goes, 'Ha, ha, hee, hee. I'm a nerd.' No, no, no - my brain mentality is the same as a 12-year-old little boy. The video games that I play, the things that I like to watch - I'm a Trekkie.
‐‐ Mila Kunis
Listen, I believe I should be winning Sport Personality of the Year because if it's about sporting achievements and it's about personality, then I'm a winner hands down.
‐‐ Tyson Fury
Listen, I didn't know how to make coffee when I came to the United States. Because in Colombia the maids do it.
‐‐ Sofia Vergara
Listen, I had two kids - one when I was 40, one when I was 45. I breastfed for one year, which means I was breastfeeding four years ago. I'm going to move from giving birth to menopause without really realising.
‐‐ Monica Bellucci
Listen, I have a great affection and respect for Joe Biden. I think he's been a great vice president. He's taken on a lot of tough assignments for our administration.
‐‐ David Axelrod
Listen, I, I did vote - I did cast a vote for health care, and I also said that I thought the process was horrible. The status quo before we passed health care was also horrible.
‐‐ Michael Bennett
Listen, I like great actors. You can be a movie star without being a great actor - this has been proved several times - and I like my casts to have great actors. Acting is more important to me than being a star.
‐‐ Jose Padilha
Listen - I like musicals. Even when they're bad, there's a couple of dancers I can watch.
‐‐ Richard Schiff
Listen: I like my bikinis very small, and I also like, uh, nude-colored bikinis because people double-take - they think I'm naked on the beach.
‐‐ Kate Upton
Listen, I'm 41 years old. I've got two kids. I've got a career. The last thing I need to be doing is having a beef with A Tribe Called Quest. It's silly and it was unnecessary. It ain't the first time that a director hasn't seen eye to eye with a subject and it ain't going to be the last time.
‐‐ Michael Rapaport
Listen, I'm a big fan of everything on NBC. When I think of comedy on TV, I really think of NBC.
‐‐ Isaiah Mustafa
Listen, I'm a sweet guy. I'm just intense at work. I have nothing but the end result in mind. My entire career has been like that.
‐‐ Maksim Chmerkovskiy
Listen, I'm from Belfast. We're not polite people. And it's language. We're direct.
‐‐ Paula Malcomson
Listen, I'm not a rich kid. I'm a cultured kid; I'm very rich in culture.
‐‐ Zac Posen
Listen: I'm OK cute. I'm no stunner.
‐‐ Jami Attenberg
Listen, I'm out of this system, man, I'm out... I'm doing better than ever. I couldn't be more happy.
‐‐ Aimee Mann
Listen, I must be 110 by now. Granny is going to kick the bucket at some point.
‐‐ Maggie Smith
Listen, I think movies serve many different purposes, from those movies that are frivolous and just an entertainment, to movies that just go to exploring the complexities of the human soul. Everything is valid if it's done with honesty and dignity, and I actually do both of those types of movies in my career.
‐‐ Antonio Banderas
Listen, I think what's best for the economy and to create jobs is to extend all of the current tax rates - for all Americans. It - it begins to reduce the uncertainty. And for small businesspeople, they can look up and begin to plan.
‐‐ John Boehner
Listen, I've always been very headstrong.
‐‐ Michelle Williams
Listen, I've been pretty fortunate. And if I've been underrated, it's actually been something I've been able to work with; I can surprise people. It sets me up to exceed expectations, so I don't mind.
‐‐ Brad Pitt
Listen, I will now tell you the truth and there is no other.
‐‐ Isaac Stern
Listen, I wish economic growth only went in one direction. It doesn't. There are economic downturns. They're painful, they're harmful, and they hurt families.
‐‐ Jeb Hensarling
Listen, I would love to win an Emmy at some stage or another. I can't pretend not to.
‐‐ Cat Deeley
Listen, I wrote 10 unsuccessful books before I broke through, so I'm looking all the time to keep my books fascinating. I want to write what people want to read, not push any message.
‐‐ Ken Follett
Listen, if my career was to end tomorrow, I would have no complaints whatsoever.
‐‐ Rod Stewart
Listen, if the mayor wants to have a debate about education in this city, I got three words: bring it on.
‐‐ Anthony Weiner
Listen, if the people in my district wanted to live in France, they'd move to France.
‐‐ Jeb Hensarling
Listen, if there's one sure-fire rule that I have learned in this business, it's that I don't know anything about human nature.
‐‐ Francis Ford Coppola
Listen, if you don't talk big game, you never get anywhere. If you don't think big, you don't get big. Some people call it egotistical, some people call it high hopes, some people call it confidence. It's all in how you want to dissect it.
‐‐ Vanilla Ice
Listen, if you said to me, 'Adam Shankman is going to direct you in a musical and you have six months to learn how to tap,' I'd practice till I was blue in the face. I would do it because I'm so headstrong and think I can do anything. But just to show up and sing a little ditty, no.
‐‐ Leslie Bibb
Listen, if you start worrying about the people in the stands, before too long you're up in the stands with them.
‐‐ Tommy Lasorda
Listen, if you were with me on a plane? I'm embarrassed for the people who sit next to me. I have such a regimen! I, like, pound on the face cream because your face will dry out, I get the stuff you put in your nose so no nose germs come in, I take elderberry for immunity, I wear a scarf.
‐‐ Lea Michele
Listen, in England people are already writing their memoirs at the age of 23.
‐‐ Rupert Everett
Listen, it's not nice to have your mum kill herself, that is difficult. But at the end of the day, it happened a long time ago. My mother was, I hope, not the reason that I have been successful. It's not as simplistic as 'My mum killed herself; I've got to prove myself.' I was very lucky that my parents took an interest in me.
‐‐ Stuart Rose
Listen, it's very easy not to be ripped off, you know. Get yourself a lawyer.
‐‐ Samantha Fox
Listen, man: I am not the industrial godfather, king, whatever. I don't relish that title. I don't like it. I think it's limiting. I do country, I do blues. I don't just go straight.
‐‐ Al Jourgensen
Listen more than you talk.
‐‐ Clara Shih
Listen, my day job is also Chief Creative Officer for Marvel, and it's a very painful job because we publish a lot of books, and there are things I see where I can punch people out. Therefore, we have some new people now, and the kids are going to read our books.
‐‐ Avi Arad
Listen - of course money changes everything, but so does sunlight, and so does food: These are powerful but neutral energy sources, neither inherently good nor evil but shaped only by the way we use them.
‐‐ Elizabeth Gilbert
Listen once in a while. It's amazing what you can hear.
‐‐ Russell Baker
Listen: our culture is saturated with irony whether we know it or not.
‐‐ Barbara Kruger
Listen - pacemaker, crash, stroke. What does it mean? God doesn't want me now. That's all.
‐‐ Kirk Douglas
Listen, people like Brian Bendis did great things for comic readers, great things for comic readers.
‐‐ Avi Arad
Listen, re-gifting is fine as long as there is transparency. You just have to be like, 'This is something I got that I couldn't use, and I thought you might like it.'
‐‐ Eric Stonestreet
Listen, real poetry doesn't say anything; it just ticks off the possibilities. Opens all doors. You can walk through any one that suits you.
‐‐ Jim Morrison
Listen, sharing my life with people is just part of my daily routine.
‐‐ Rita Ora
Listen, the Latin people, I love the Latin people. They are so loyal to you. Even if you haven't been on TV for thirty years, they still love you. And they cherish you and give you respect. You're not fast food in the Latin market.
‐‐ Erik Estrada
