Making music, if you're a real musician, you carry on regardless in this world.

Making music is like being the president: You can't tell people you're going to make health care free to get them behind you, but when you get that role, you don't do it.
‐‐ Tyga
Making music is still what keeps a fire going on in me.
‐‐ Alan Jackson
Making music on TV used to be as common as commercials. In the '60s and '70s, prime time was stuffed with variety shows headlined by such major and treasured talents as Carol Burnett, Red Skelton, the Smothers Brothers and Richard Pryor, who had a very brief comedy-variety hour on NBC that was censored literally to death.

Making peace, I have found, is much harder than making war.

Making peace is harder than making war.

Making people laugh is a really fabulous thing because it means you're getting deep inside somebody, into their psyche, and their ability to look at themselves.
‐‐ Jane Lynch
Making people laugh is giving, and it's healing, too, when people can go up to the movies and forget about their problems. It's a good thing. That's why I want to work.
‐‐ Chris Tucker
Making people laugh is magic. I feel like if you have humility, then you can do anything in comedy.
‐‐ Amanda Seyfried
Making people laugh is so much more difficult than making them sad. Too much fiction defaults to the somber, the tragic. This is because sad endings are easy in comparison - happy endings aren't at all simple to earn, especially when writing to an audience jaded by them.

Making people uncomfortable is one of my hobbies.

Making personalized medicine a reality will require a strong partnership between 23andMe and the physician and medical communities.
‐‐ Anne Wojcicki
Making pictures, for an actress, is like betting, for a gambler. Each time you make a picture you try to analyze why you won or lost.
‐‐ Hedy Lamarr
Making pizza is a great job. All that kneading the dough - everything to do with cooking is wonderful, sensual.
‐‐ Claire Denis
Making playlists can kill a whole afternoon for me. I like building very specific playlists for new writing projects. In a strange way, choosing certain songs is part of the process of plotting the book out. I pick songs that I think with resonate with characters, their personality quirks, relationship dynamics, action scenes, and so on.
‐‐ Jonathan Maberry
Making promises and then saddling yourself with a political system and a political union that means that you cannot deliver those promises, I fear, doesn't contribute to an atmosphere of trust and confidence in politics.
‐‐ Michael Gove
Making reading an enjoyable activity for children is a challenge. So I ensure that I write in a way that is fun for children to read.
‐‐ Ken Spillman
Making recess appointments when the Senate isn't in recess is neither rational nor moderate. It's a raw misuse of executive power by a president whose love of government is his most vulnerable spot with the electorate.
‐‐ John Podhoretz
Making records is fun. It's not some big statement. You're allowed to make mistakes.
‐‐ Norah Jones
Making records should be fun.
‐‐ Noel Gallagher
Making ribs in Texas isn't that unusual a choice for 'Top Chef'. We played the stereotypes everywhere we go. It's not only in Texas. We do it in New York; we did it in San Francisco. Listen if we shoot it in Seattle you know we're going to be throwing salmon somewhere.
‐‐ Tom Colicchio
Making sentences is what I do. I mean, the story will come as I write.
‐‐ Per Petterson
Making ski racing fun and engaging for kids and families is an exciting opportunity and a real passion of mine.
‐‐ Lindsey Vonn
Making sleep happen is a must - anytime, anywhere, from a plane to a train to an automobile. Ideally, I like to get eight to ten hours a night, though I'll take it broken up in two segments if I have to.
‐‐ Chantal Kreviazuk
Making small talk about what someone is wearing is just another form of unsolicited feedback.
‐‐ Sophia Amoruso
Making social comment is an artificial place for an artist to start from. If an artist is touched by some social condition, what the artist creates will reflect that, but you can't force it.
‐‐ Susan Sontag
Making something and sending it out into the world and then people not only responding to it but adopting it for their own and making a separate thing for it, that's beautiful. It just shows you how much you can affect other people... the butterfly effect of everything you put out into the world.
‐‐ Marketa Irglova
Making sounds that literally no one has ever heard before because the software and the technology's never been there, and pairing that with great songwriting, then that's what's exciting for me. That's what I wanna do.
‐‐ Flume
Making sure that health care is affordable for every American. I think that is very, very important.
‐‐ Kendrick Meek
Making sure that mothers are educated means we can lift more people out of poverty and build a more inclusive and sustainable society.

Making sushi is an art, and experience is everything.
‐‐ Nobu Matsuhisa
Making the 'An Idiot Abroad' series, I was really dreading going to India; I thought I'd hate it. It was a nightmare, and I was really ill - just like everyone says.
‐‐ Karl Pilkington
Making the Australian team is the hardest part, and going to the Olympics is the easy part. You're there representing your country - you're representing every single person in it, strangers you don't know - and there's a lot of positive energy, but you have to know to channel it the right way.
‐‐ Ken Wallace
Making 'The Avengers' was very important to me, but it was also extremely arduous. I missed my friends and I missed my home, so I decided to throw them all on camera, which is the only way I seem to know to relate to people.
‐‐ Joss Whedon
Making the best of things is... a damn poor way of dealing with them. My whole life has been a series of escapes from that quicksand.
‐‐ Rose Wilder Lane
Making the best-seller list is a big deal; it's like being nominated for an Oscar. Hitting No. 1 is like actually winning the award. It's very gratifying.
‐‐ Brad Thor
Making the choice to cast someone in a lead role is a big one. You don't want to squander your opportunity.
‐‐ Lisa Cholodenko
Making the City Of Joy gave me the best political education of my life. It became a wrestling match between an Englishman who had gradually ceased to be a Marxist, and a culture that was becoming more Marxist by the day.
‐‐ Roland Joffe
Making the desirable possible requires us to make the desirable popular, electable, credible, and something that people want to hold on to.
