People talk about Japanese kids as being inward-looking. But my experience is that if you offer them an opportunity, they'll take it.
‐‐ John Roos
People talk about love and it seems like a cliche but it's a real thing - the more love we spread around the world the more it's going to change lives.
‐‐ Ben Vereen
People talk about loyalty of players to clubs. But in the everyday world, you don't see people being loyal to their company when they're getting offered considerably better deals elsewhere.
‐‐ Brian O'Driscoll
People talk about making art films - experimental films. I can make an art film every day of the week. Nothing to it. What's difficult is to combine a commercial film with art.
‐‐ Carlo Ponti
People talk about me as if I am the sole inheritor of the Guinness family fortune and worth masses, but I have hundreds of cousins.
‐‐ Jasmine Guinness
People talk about me in 'Arcadia' and I think I was okay in it but I've given better performances in other productions that didn't have the same impact. But I knew 'Arcadia' was going to be an event and I wanted to be part of it.
‐‐ Rufus Sewell
People talk about method actors, meaning someone that's prepared very, very well, or whatever they mean when they talk about it. But the right method is whatever works for you. And what works for me on any given day is going to be different.
‐‐ Viggo Mortensen
People talk about mumblecore but I prefer bumblecore, hyper-realistic bee movies about how bees really are.
‐‐ Mindy Kaling
People talk about opportunity knocking, but the gate was always swinging in the breeze before I got to the door.
‐‐ Rufus Sewell
People talk about perfect timing, but I think everything is perfect in its moment; you just want to capture that.
‐‐ Eddie Huang
People talk about physical fitness, but mental health is equally important. I see people suffering, and their families feel a sense of shame about it, which doesn't help. One needs support and understanding. I am now working on an initiative to create awareness about anxiety and depression and help people.
‐‐ Deepika Padukone
People talk about places like Mumbai as a tale of two cities, as if the rich and poor don't have anything to do with each other.
‐‐ Katherine Boo
People talk about PlayStations, video games, social network and Twitter; I can't handle it.
‐‐ Kangana Ranaut
People talk about retiring. I never said that r-word. People though I went away after the Olympic Games. I took time off to do something I've always wanted to be - a mother.
‐‐ Gail Devers
People talk about revelation, and say it has ceased; but what ignorance it bespeaks, when man knows not the least thing on earth without revelation.
‐‐ Elias Hicks
People talk about smart sanctions and crippling sanctions. I've never seen smart sanctions, and crippling sanctions cripple everyone, including innocent civilians, and make the government more popular.
‐‐ Mohamed ElBaradei
People talk about Social Security. There is no parallel between Rhode Island's pension and Social Security.
‐‐ Gina Raimondo
People talk about the '60s, but they were merely a mass production of what the '50s had begun.
‐‐ Peter O'Toole
People talk about the courage of condemned men walking to the place of execution: sometimes it needs as much courage to walk with any kind of bearing towards another person's habitual misery.
‐‐ Graham Greene
People talk about the difference between radio acting, TV acting and stage acting, but I think it's all the same. For instance, when I played Vultan in 'Flash Gordon,' I put as much energy into it as I would with 'King Lear' - it's all part of the same thing.
‐‐ Brian Blessed
People talk about the difference between working on stage and working on film. I think you could say that there are as many differences between working on low budget films and working on big budget films. You really are doing the same thing, but at the same time you're doing something vastly different as well.
‐‐ Joel Edgerton
People talk about the miracle of birth. No. There's the miracle of conception. I did IVF, but nothing happened. So I began to think of adoption, and then I got pregnant. It was definitely a miracle.
‐‐ Iman
People talk about the pain of defeat, but I think defeat has a lot of value. I think the wound of victory can be even more damaging than defeat. Very few people really know how to win.
‐‐ Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu
People talk about the pain of writing, but very few people talk about the pleasure and satisfaction.
‐‐ Paul Theroux
People talk about the Patriot Act that was passed immediately in the wake of September 11. What the Patriot Act did was break down the walls between the various agencies.
‐‐ Robert Mueller
People talk about the plots and what happened, and they see your tricks a mile away.
‐‐ Terence Winter
People talk about the redistribution of wealth a lot, which is a very valid topic. But what about the redistribution of health? That's even more concentrated at the top.
‐‐ Bill Maris
People talk about this 'bucket list': 'I need to go to this country, I need to skydive.' Whereas I need to think as much as I can, to feel as much as I can, to be conscious and observe and understand me and the people around me as much as I can.
‐‐ Amy Tan
People talk about this Julia Roberts almost like it's a cup of Pepsi. People think Julia Roberts is something they created. The fact is, 26 years ago, there was this scrunched-up little pink baby named Julia Roberts. I am a girl, like anybody else.
‐‐ Julia Roberts
People talk about Wall Street greed, but one of the things many people don't understand is that there are a lot of organizations that have been the recipient of largess from the same Wall Street.
‐‐ Geoffrey Canada
People talk about writing convincing teenagers like it's a really clever thing to do, but it comes incredibly naturally to me. Which, of course, is slightly a worry.
‐‐ Meg Rosoff
People talk of me as being the inventor of the legal thriller.
‐‐ Scott Turow
People talk of the new economy and of reinventing themselves in the workplace, and in that sense most of us are less secure.
‐‐ Daniel Kahneman
People talk to people who perceive nothing, who have open eyes and see nothing; they shall talk to them and receive no answer; they shall adore those who have ears and hear nothing; they shall burn lamps for those who do not see.
‐‐ Leonardo da Vinci
People talk worse about people than they talk good about people, because a lot of people like drama.
‐‐ Hilary Duff
People talked to me in a way I think they would not have talked to somebody who hadn't shared the experience; they gave me their papers, they gave me their diaries. I found people constantly opening up to me. And I think they did because I had shared that experience with them.
‐‐ Neil Sheehan
People teach their dogs to sit; it's a trick. I've been sitting my whole life, and a dog has never looked at me as though he thought I was tricky.
‐‐ Mitch Hedberg
People tease me about knowing somehow that Obama would put Clinton into the cabinet, and everybody would talk about a team of rivals.
‐‐ Doris Kearns Goodwin
People tell me all the time I should stop and smell the roses, but I can't. I'm always thinking of what I can do to make what I have better and do more.
‐‐ Eddie Trunk
People tell me all the time that I look forbidding or aloof. That doesn't bother me much - I am fairly private, withdrawn, and... distant, I guess. But, um, I think that's okay.
‐‐ Ric Ocasek
People tell me all the time that I must be so sad. I never was. It's just the way I sing.
‐‐ Gene Pitney
People tell me all the time when they meet me, in comedy, they say 'You have that type like Sofia Vergara; you can be like her.' She's beautiful, but she can be ugly, too; she can make ugly faces. She doesn't care. She's very outgoing.
‐‐ Lele Pons
People tell me an Olympic medal is a life-changing event. Except I don't even think about the medal unless someone asks about it.
‐‐ Mikaela Shiffrin
People tell me being a perfectionist is a fault, but I find that's what drives me.
‐‐ Paula Garces
People tell me how great it must have been to ride horses and stuff. Well, do it for two days straight on dusty days when the cows and horses were really tired.
‐‐ Arthur Slade
People tell me I look angry. I thought my dad was mad at me his whole life, but it turns out that was just his mug - and I inherited it.
‐‐ Ben Foster
People tell me I look mournful. They say, 'Cheer up, Dan, it's not that bad!' Sometimes I just look into space, which freaks people out. If I was ever required to do anything other than look haunted, I could. I'm a happy person.
‐‐ Daniel Radcliffe
People tell me I'm dancing better than ever. I don't know what happened, but I have new enthusiasm and more endurance.
‐‐ Natalia Makarova
People tell me I'm their idol and a huge inspiration - that's really surreal.
‐‐ Charlotte Dujardin
