Something like reading depends a lot on just having people around you who talk to you and read you books, more than sitting down and, say, doing a reading drill when you're 3 or 4 years old.
‐‐ Alison Gopnik
Something like riding a horse - which I've recently started doing - requires courage, especially for me, as I started out being actually scared of horses.
‐‐ Mary Gaitskill
Something like 'Rust and Bone' would be a dream. Very pared down. 'Orphan Black' is such a challenge. I just need something that isn't as full-on intense as that.
‐‐ Tatiana Maslany
Something like 'Sex And The City' was insulting - women all clawing on to their youth when there's such ripe territory in honestly exploring women's lives as they get older.
‐‐ Samantha Bond
Something like The Haunting is not worth the slightest consideration from me.
‐‐ Nigel Kneale
Something like 'The Matrix' would be ideal, something where it's super agents and wire work and special effects - not necessarily running from bombs and shooting people. Something more sleek, like an assassin.
‐‐ Nadine Velazquez
Something like trying to protect yourself all the time, things like trying to outwit fate. Those things can be the worst thing you can do for yourself.
‐‐ John Frusciante
Something like 'Without a Paddle' does really well at the box office and I'm like, 'Oh, here we go.' In 'Without a Paddle' I'm the romantic lead - great! A comedy and that's what America wants. Then it did nothing for me and I went into kind-of a work abyss. I just didn't get another shot.
‐‐ Matthew Lillard
Something like your parents divorcing never quite leaves you. What you thought was real isn't real anymore, and that changes your perspective. It makes you more wary but also means you are better equipped to deal with challenges.
‐‐ Hannah Ware
Something magic happens when I get to a club or get on stage.
‐‐ Koko Taylor
Something magical happened when I turned 25 - I looked in the mirror and was like, 'You might not get carded for an R-rated movie anymore.' Like I didn't have a little stick figure anymore.
‐‐ Kristen Bell
'Something More' is a song that I wrote not necessarily about country radio, more so about a lot of songs that were being pitched to me. I wrote that after song after song after song was just the same song, just a different melody, so I was just looking for something more to put on the record.
‐‐ Scotty McCreery
Something most people don't know about me is that I never grew up.
‐‐ Alexander Siddig
Something my mom and I have always said to each other is: 'We're not here for interviews. We're not here to get your picture taken. We're here to make a difference, and this is our opportunity to.'
‐‐ Bailee Madison
Something my mom taught me when I was little is that everything happens for a reason.
‐‐ Shawn Johnson
Something my mum taught me years and years and years ago, is life's just too short to carry around a great bucket-load of anger and resentment and bitterness and hatreds and all that sort of stuff.
‐‐ Kevin Rudd
Something mystical happens to every writer who goes to the Masters for the first time, some sort of emotional experience that results in a search party having to be sent out to recover his typewriter from a clump of azaleas.
‐‐ Dan Jenkins
Something new will always be the source of growth in Silicon Valley.
‐‐ Steve Jurvetson
Something often neglected in popular accounts of the Wild West is the extent to which its dramas were colored by the politics and personal resentments left by the Civil War.
‐‐ Gary Krist
Something opens our wings. Something makes boredom and hurt disappear. Someone fills the cup in front of us: We taste only sacredness.
‐‐ Rumi
Something outrageous, in the truest sense of the word, is always happening. On social networks, we're always voicing our reactions to these outrageous events. We read essays and 'think pieces' about these outrageous events. We comment on the commentary. We do this because we can.
‐‐ Roxane Gay
Something people don't recognize is that being on the space station is probably a lot like being in some kind of confinement - like isolation.
‐‐ Scott Kelly
Something pretty mysterious had to give rise to the origin of the universe.
‐‐ Richard Dawkins
Something pretty... that's just the surface. People worry so much about aging, but you look younger if you don't worry about it.
‐‐ Jeanne Moreau
Something's been guiding me around throughout my life.
‐‐ Joe Namath
Something's going to happen that's going to make us all pay attention at the type of sentences some people are serving and the conditions in which they are served.
‐‐ Christopher Darden
Something's happened in our society which I don't think is beneficial, and that's that you see the public being fed box-office news. Newscasts now, every local station - I've been traveling around the country a lot, and you see the local news, and they give box-office reports.
‐‐ Bryan Cranston
Something's like crossed over in me and I can't go back. I couldn't live.
‐‐ Geena Davis
Something's that written out is okay, but it's not always a clear indication of what a person means.
‐‐ Debbie Harry
Something's very wrong with a nation that would rather spend money on war than take care of its children.
‐‐ Robert Kiyosaki
Something similar is still true of the courses followed by manifold intuitions which together make up the unity of one continuous consciousness of one and the same object.
‐‐ Edmund Husserl
Something stopped me in school a little bit. Anything that I'm not interested in, I can't even feign interest.
‐‐ Quentin Tarantino
Something that always fascinated me was the psychology and the psychology differences between men and women and how we relate to one another.
‐‐ Karrine Steffans
Something that bothered people about 'Dawson's Creek' but as a writer, I kind of dug: writing those kids as though they were college grad students. It was fun and liberating and made for a true sort of writer's show. It was a fun year for me, because I got to get out of debt with my first TV job, and I learned a ton.
‐‐ Rob Thomas
Something that came as a shock to me is that we do not have a constitutional right to vote. And that's not just a fun little historical factoid. It actually has huge ramifications. It's the reason our system is so decentralized - in other words, chaotic.
‐‐ Mo Rocca
Something that confirms all fears and many conspiracy theories about government is finding out what our elected representatives would put into law if they could.
‐‐ P. J. O'Rourke
Something that has so much power must have life. Instruments have life.
‐‐ Laurie Anderson
Something that I learned from 'Friday Night Lights,' sometimes if you have four or five scenes in an episode, it's not having less than having 10. It's what you do with those scenes.
‐‐ Jason Katims
Something that I really enjoy doing is creating and being a part of very different characters and very different projects.
‐‐ Noel Fisher
Something that I think I figured out slowly was if you're playing a show and there's a chatter or there is, you know, a lot of noise - people talking or something - I was never the one whose instinct was to try to be louder than them.
‐‐ Feist
Something that I've struggled with for awhile is looking at our country voting on sound bites, and to me, character is really important.
‐‐ Taya Kyle
Something that is in every year for me is oversized sweaters. I feel like this is the way to go if you're running late. You can just put anything oversized on and pair it with leggings or jeans and it looks cute.
‐‐ Bethany Mota
Something that required the best of you has ended. You will miss it.
‐‐ Anne Wilson Schaef
Something that's fun for me is a challenge. When you have a challenge and you take on that challenge and succeed, that's the best feeling.
‐‐ Amy Lee
Something that's good in the mini-culture of 'Happy Endings' is that the goal is to try and make each other laugh. There is a pretty high bar, and you want to make the writers laugh, and you want to elevate what's already great material - and also, we're like, 'Who is even watching this? Let's just go for it.'
‐‐ Casey Wilson
Something that's seldom appreciated about me is that I am in sympathy with a great deal of what Marx wrote, except that I'm on the side of the bourgeoisie.
‐‐ Niall Ferguson
Something that's such a joy in my life every day - cooking - is this incredible, horrific danger to women around the world.
‐‐ Julia Roberts
Something that's very painful for me is when people wear pants that are too short.
‐‐ Rachel Zoe
Something that truly frustrates me is the impression in Israel that when you are talking about security, you are bold; you are tough: this is what we need against all the enemies that we have. And when someone is talking about peace, you know, it's the naive left wing, soft.
