‐‐ Mary Hunter Austin
People would be surprised to know that I've gone to regular school my whole life, and I don't have one friend who is an actor!

‐‐ Joanne Liu
People would come to me and say, 'Jet, your Kung Fu is pretty good, do you want to be an action star when you grow up?' At 17, I was given the script and I went to make the movie.
‐‐ Jet Li
People would get up and leave so they would not have to sit anywhere near me.
‐‐ Ryan White
People would have a health care insurance policy they can call their own. They could choose one that exactly fits their families' needs and their budgets, be able to take that coverage with them from job to job and be able to fire their insurance company if it doesn't treat them well.
‐‐ Andrew P. Harris
People would like better batteries but they are wary of making investments. What is required is both a technology push and a market pull.
‐‐ Donald Sadoway
People would like to see peace and stability, and that is why we have had engagement with the ethnic armed groups. That's why our reform process is based on the wishes and the will of the people.
‐‐ Thein Sein
People would look at me weird. You know, like, 'Why is this guy's hands always in his pockets?' But I was embarrassed by the size of my hands.
‐‐ Jerry Rice
People would love to be rich, but they're looking for the easy way. Who wouldn't want to win the lottery? Just to score.
‐‐ Bryan Cranston
People would pay money to work at CNN.
‐‐ Larry King
People would rather have art or gold instead of paper money.
‐‐ Eli Broad
People would react to books by authors like James and Austen almost on a gut level. I think it was not so much the message, because the best authors do not have obvious messages. These authors were disturbing to my students because of their perspectives on life.
‐‐ Azar Nafisi
People would read all kinds of reaction into it, but Tracy told me himself that half the time he was just standing very still, trying to look sober and composed. That takes nothing away from him. The fact he got away with it was a tribute to his talent.
‐‐ Cesar Romero
People would say, 'Boy, I really loved you in Ferris Bueller," and it would really aggravate me. I thought I was a one-trick pony, and people had seen the trick. Now that things have worked out and I've gone on to other things, I'm really pleased that people enjoy it.
‐‐ Alan Ruck
People would say, Can we develop a sitcom around you? and I would say, Not interested. I'm very happy doing standup and writing and taking my kids to school.
‐‐ Jeff Foxworthy
People would say I'm more polished as a passer than Tebow and Cam, but I'm not as physical a runner. But I am 6'2', 223, and I can throw with the best of them.
‐‐ Robert Griffin III
People would say I really loved Buck Rogers until the Hawk guy came on.
‐‐ Gil Gerard
People would say, 'You can't say negative things about the company.' But you have no credibility if you can't tell people that they need to do better.
‐‐ Steve Burke
People would say you look weak if you're not cursing the opposition and driving around in a big black car while always wearing a tie. Above all, to be 'strong' you're always supposed to be giving orders.
‐‐ George Papandreou
People would see me on a Nickelodeon commercial, and I would hear about it the next day in school.
‐‐ Jason Biggs
People would tell me sometimes that I should model, but I was like, 'I don't know!'

‐‐ Cristina Saralegui
People wouldn't even go into science unless there was something much bigger to be discovered, something that is transcendent.
‐‐ David Eagleman
People wouldn't hire me for comedies. They would say, 'Oh, he doesn't do comedy,' and now it's really all I do.
‐‐ Kevin Dillon
People wouldn't know this about me, but I adore ball gowns. I love their cut, their architecture and the thought of the hands of so many seamstresses working on them.
‐‐ Patti Smith
People wrestle sometimes making movies, and I think that conflict is a very essential thing. I think a lot of very happy productions have produced a lot of very banal movies.
‐‐ Edward Norton
People write about getting sick, they write about tummy trouble, they write about having to wait for a bus. They write about waiting. They write three pages about how long it took them to get a visa. I'm not interested in the boring parts. Everyone has tummy trouble. Everyone waits in line. I don't want to hear about it.
‐‐ Paul Theroux
People write fiction in their minds all the time - every time we read a 'human interest' news story, or a true crime tale, we find ourselves fascinated because we're trying to understand why people behave the way they do, why they make the choices they do, how we become who we become.
‐‐ Dan Chaon
People write me from all over the country, asking me, and sometimes even telling me, what they think a poet laureate should do. I found that immensely valuable.
‐‐ Rita Dove
People write me letters and say I should answer them. But I don't like to answer letters. I don't write letters. I've never written my mother one.
‐‐ Todd Rundgren
People write memoirs because they lack the imagination to make things up.
‐‐ Tom Robbins
People write music, and the music is out there for people to interpret it how they want to.
‐‐ Leona Lewis
People write negatives things, cause they feel that's what sells. Good news to them, doesn't sell.
‐‐ Michael Jackson
People write to me all the time, and I write back.
‐‐ Lisa See
People writing about me have said that I've influenced a lot of people, and there are some artists who have credited me with influencing them.
‐‐ Harvey Pekar

‐‐ Pete Sampras
People wrote the most beautiful things during the ugliest times.

‐‐ Jose Marti
Peoples will be as before, the sheep sent to the slaughterhouses or to the meadows as it pleases the shepherds.
‐‐ Henri La Fontaine
Peoria is such a seemingly quintessential American city, and I had always wanted to draw on that in either my fiction or in nonfiction. The Midwest is also a landscape that I have always been infatuated with, perhaps because it's the first one I can truly remember.
‐‐ Dinaw Mengestu
Peppers, garlic, hazelnuts and brazil nuts make my mouth, tongue and eyes swell and itch within minutes of eating them.
‐‐ Andrea McLean
Pepsi and Coke have to co-exist on the shelf for the long term because if they pull each other down, no one's going to drink carbonated soft drinks anymore.
‐‐ John Quelch
Pepsi is the second-most-recognized beverage brand in the world after Coke, and eighteen of PepsiCo's other brands, which include Tropicana, Gatorade, and Quaker Oats, are billion-dollar businesses in their own right.
