People say that I am always serious and depressing, but it seems to me that the English are never serious - they are flippant, complacent, ineffable, but never serious, which is sometimes maddening.
‐‐ Anita Brookner
People say that I could sing the phone book and make it sound good.
‐‐ Edith Piaf
People say that I'm a boxer. I actually started with kick boxing, and then I moved onto boxing, and then I moved onto grappling.
‐‐ Conor McGregor
People say that I'm a millionaire, but that's not true - I only spend millions.
‐‐ Robert Plant
People say that I'm always late, but that's a myth.
‐‐ Milla Jovovich
People say that if you find water rising up to your ankle, that's the time to do something about it, not when it's around your neck.
‐‐ Chinua Achebe
People say that if you're still angry at 52, you're not an angry young man, just a grumpy old git.
‐‐ Paul Weller
People say that if you talk too much about sex, you take away the mystery. I say, if you're somebody who likes to talk, talk all you want - it's not listening. You will never take away the mystery.
‐‐ Mary Gaitskill
People say that life is the thing, but I prefer reading.
‐‐ Logan Pearsall Smith
People say that money is not the key to happiness, but I always figured if you have enough money, you can have a key made.
‐‐ Joan Rivers
People say that New Yorkers aren't friendly, but I think they're more friendly than Londoners. Here there is a front-footed nature of Americans. You can go out on a night out and meet 10 random people and stay in touch with them, whereas that's not going to happen in the same way in London.
‐‐ Theo James
People say that one of the most important things about being an actor is to have thick skin, but I don't think that's it. Because you can't just walk around being tough, you have to be able to be vulnerable to do this. So really, it's about not being defensive.
‐‐ Jess Weixler
People say that slaves were taken from Africa. This is not true: People were taken from Africa, among them healers and priests, and were made into slaves.
‐‐ Abdullah Ibrahim
People say that soundstage sets never quite look like reality. But actually, they can. They can be as real as you want as long as you pay attention to the kind of detail that is given for free in a real place.
‐‐ Lenny Abrahamson
People say that the Beavis voice doesn't sound like me or some other voices. Butt-Head I think sounds like me.
‐‐ Mike Judge
People say that the best part about doing animation is that you don't have to dress up to go to work, but I don't believe that. I dress up to go to work. I dress up for an airplane. I think it's just focusing your skillset, focusing on your voice and the comedy.
‐‐ Jenny Slate
People say that the most expensive piece of medical equipment is the doctor's pen. It's not that we make all the money. It's that we order all the money.
‐‐ Atul Gawande
People say that this new generation is so used to the Internet that their heads are already different. They can't read a book from beginning to end. That is not a tragedy. The book changes form.
‐‐ Yoko Ono
People say that to me and I think what unites all my characters is that they are hurt; it's most accurate to say I play characters that are hurt but are responding to their environment.
‐‐ Ashley Judd
People say the Beatles were John Lennon. What is Paul McCartney? Chopped liver? But everyone has their own favourite members whose creativity they gravitate to. That's normal.
‐‐ Mike Love
People say the Internet's made of cats. The reason isn't because of cats; it's because people like to have an emotion where they say 'aww' all at the same time.
‐‐ Jonah Peretti
People say the 'Lost Generation' in a romantic sense, but I think it was tragic. They were really lost.
‐‐ Corey Stoll
People say the most important thing is building a world-class team.
‐‐ Ben Horowitz
People say the most stupid things on the spur of the moment that they then have to retract.
‐‐ Michael Palin
People say the seats at sporting events are too small. My response is, 'That's why we're trying to work on the size of your rear end!'
‐‐ Mick Cornett
People say the top part of my face looks like my dad's and the bottom part like my mom's. I have his eyes and her nose and mouth.
‐‐ River Viiperi
People say 'The Wire's bleak, y'know, but I see it as a love letter to Baltimore, and it's one written in a very strange and complex way.
‐‐ Aidan Gillen
People say their weight is genetic. But it turns out that people who are overweight don't just have overweight kids. They also have overweight pets. That's not genetic.
‐‐ Mehmet Oz
People say there's a book in everyone but I'm not sure there is. There might be a pamphlet in me.
‐‐ Sophie Thompson
People say there's no trace of an accent anymore, and there isn't because I worked very hard to lose it. And the reason I did that is a British accent in America is a real status symbol.
‐‐ John Mahoney
People say they are inventing electric cars. Well, where is the electricity coming from? Flowers? Maybe someday. But what is available now is oil and gas.
‐‐ Christophe de Margerie
People say they get a warmness from me.
‐‐ Loni Love
People say they like my fashion-haul videos because it's like you've been shopping with your friends, and you look back over what you have bought.
‐‐ Zoe Sugg
People say they'll pay more for something made in the U.S., but they won't actually do it.
‐‐ Kevin Plank
People say they love the characters I've chosen in my career. But I didn't choose anything. I just happened to be working and these were offered to me.
‐‐ Michael K. Williams
People say they love truth, but in reality they want to believe that which they love is true.
‐‐ Robert J. Ringer
People say they make movies to show what 'really happens.' But they only show what they choose to show.
‐‐ Haskell Wexler
People say things about me all the time and I get over it. I've had some appalling things told about me.
‐‐ Boy George
People say this all the time and everyone, like, nods their head and is like, 'Oh yeah, totally,' but no one ever does it, including myself. I can do better at it, is just drinking a lot of water, like a gallon and a half, two gallons a day, like, straight water all day.
‐‐ Ronda Rousey
People say to me all the time, 'You have no fear.' I tell them, 'No, that's not true. I'm scared all the time. You have to have fear in order to have courage. I'm a courageous person because I'm a scared person.'
‐‐ Ronda Rousey
People say to me, 'Are you still excited when you go on tour?' Should I be excited about leaving my family? No, and no one should. It's as simple as that. If you put aside the fantasy of it, it is what it is and has to be done. And that's fine, and I pour my entire energy and enthusiasm into it, but of course, I'm of two minds about the whole idea.
‐‐ Neil Peart
People say to me, 'Do you know who you look like?' And I say, 'I'm really tired of looking like that guy.'
‐‐ Bill Cosby
People say to me now, 'Oh, you've given up the piano.' How can you? Music is a virus.
‐‐ Christian McKay
People say to me, 'Oh, being a mother must make you a better actor,' and I think, 'Well, I never sleep, I have very little time to think about anything except when I'm actually there.' I wonder whether that makes me a better actor. I think it must on some level.
‐‐ Mireille Enos
People say to me that I can't be nervous because I've had such a wealth of experience, but I tell them that I have never done this particular part before.
‐‐ Brenda Blethyn
People say to me that I'm a role model in technology, but it makes me laugh, because I'm not a technologist, I'm a journalist - that's my background.
‐‐ Sue Gardner
People say to me, 'Well, how do you direct Meryl Streep?' You're not wandering over to Meryl telling her how to act. She's an extraordinary talent and unbelievably hard working; she works harder than anyone I have ever worked with before.
‐‐ John Wells
People say to me, Would you like to swap your life with me for 24 hours? Your life must be very strange. But of course I have not experienced any other life. It's not strange to me.
‐‐ Prince Andrew
People say to me, 'You don't seem that interested in interviews.' Well, you know, I'm not, often. I'm not going to talk tactics with the press, so you are left with talking about how you are feeling; for me, it is not the most interesting thing to be doing.
‐‐ Andy Murray
