Usually when people are sad, they don't do anything. They just cry over their condition. But when they get angry, they bring about a change.
‐‐ James Russell Lowell
Usually, when people get to the end of a chapter, they close the book and go to sleep. I deliberately write a book so when the reader gets to the end of the chapter, he or she must turn one more page.
‐‐ Sidney Sheldon
Usually when people see me, they see me as more of the soft-spoken one rather than being the witty, smart-tongued character.
‐‐ Amy Acker
Usually when reporting on powerful public figures, the press advisor and I would have had a conversation that established what journalists call 'ground rules,' placing restrictions on what can and cannot be reported.
‐‐ Michael Hastings
Usually when someone says a thing is too simple, they're saying that certain familiar things aren't there, and they're seeing a couple maybe that are left, which they count as a couple, that's all.
‐‐ Donald Judd
Usually when there are a lot of layoffs, like in 2008 and 2009, business creation tends to spike. But that didn't happen right away, partly because people trying to start a business couldn't get credit.
‐‐ Brad D. Smith
Usually, when we go out, it's because we made a new studio album, and that becomes the focus of the tour throughout the world for a year or so.
‐‐ Chris Squire
Usually, when you are an ethnic person or a trans person, in your average, everyday, unsophisticated television show, you are there for that reason. And they clearly justify and overexplain why. You very rarely see a transgender actor playing the part of a grocery-store clerk without having to say, 'Oh, look at that trans person.'
‐‐ B. D. Wong
Usually when you get a script from actors, you don't have high expectations.
‐‐ Patrick Whitesell
Usually, when you get early versions of scripts, they are not very good. I found 'Borgen' amazing from the very first read-through because of how fast-paced and gripping it was. It felt more international because of the way it didn't dwell on the characters' personal lives as many Danish shows used to, but still, nobody thought it would travel.
‐‐ Birgitte Hjort Sorensen
Usually, when you go in to make a record, you have 30 songs, and you record 30 of them, and 12 of them make it to the record.
‐‐ Dave Grohl
Usually when you have a sequel, the character always stays the same and that's true basically of 'Rocky III,' 'IV' and 'V.' He didn't really change.
‐‐ Irwin Winkler
Usually when you interview somebody for a number of hours, they'll say something that is self-aggrandizing or is a manipulation of the facts.
‐‐ Evan Osnos
Usually, when you make a decision in life, unless you have access to parallel universes, you can't truly judge how right that decision was.
‐‐ Tibor Fischer
Usually when you're doing concepts for a character, you just try a couple different things to see what sticks.
‐‐ Joe Madureira
Usually when you're working is when people want you to work. They don't want you as much when you're not working. That's the frustrating nature of our business.
‐‐ Faith Ford
Usually when you see females in movies, they feel like they have these metallic structures around them, they are caged in by male energy.
‐‐ Bjork
Usually when you watch a film, you're just sort of biting your nails about things you could have done differently.
‐‐ Denis Leary
Usually, whenever my mom would come over I would try and put on music that I thought she would like just to make her feel more at ease.
‐‐ Britt Daniel
Usually whenever you're scared of something, do it. If you're not afraid of it, don't do it.
‐‐ Sylvester Stallone
Usually, with me, the project is always the second thing. The film-maker comes first. Films grow out of the relationship.
‐‐ Tilda Swinton
Usually, with the work I've done, by the end, I usually feel like it's a failure. It doesn't matter how it's received.
‐‐ James Marsh
Usually with things, you go where you can find the financing to do it.
‐‐ Don Bluth
Usually with this genre the first thing that happens is a good fight sequence to show that you're in good hands. So we broke that rule. I think a lot of that comes from the western audience.
‐‐ Ang Lee
Usually writer's block arises when something is wrong internally with the story.
‐‐ Meg Cabot
Usually, writing lyrics for me is like bleeding drop by drop from the forehead.
‐‐ Matt Berninger
Usually, you can figure out where a person's mistakes came from if you ask them the genesis of their thought process: 'Why did you do it this way?' As opposed to telling them they did it the wrong way. Understanding their thought process will ultimately help you be able to communicate with them and navigate around them.
‐‐ Marcus Lemonis
Usually, you can shoot a movie in 10 or 12 weeks.
‐‐ Peter Farrelly
Usually, you don't really end up lifelong buddies with your co-stars.
‐‐ Lea Thompson
Usually, you get to interview that one girl who plays the sister on some Disney show - you interview that girl a lot - but sometimes, every once in a while, you get to interview a legend. I have interviewed some amazingly iconic people, including Michelle Obama, Oprah, Sidney Poitier and Judy Dench. These people are legit icons.
‐‐ Ross Mathews
Usually you kind of give the President a pass on leaking confidential stuff.
‐‐ Candy Crowley
Usually, you lose interest in a story beyond a certain point. But with 'Highway,' there was something very subtle, yet something very influential. I intended 'Highway' to be the first film that I ever made. Didn't happen.
‐‐ Imtiaz Ali
Usually you're in movies with a lot of dissolves and things, but this was kind of quick, more jarring than usual. I thought it would be fun to be in a movie that's unconventional. Then I met Guy and I liked him. I think he's a good man.
‐‐ Dennis Farina
Usually, you see this play as a guy who can't make up his mind, but our version is more of a revenge thriller than a man who is pontificating what he should do next. I've never seen a 'Hamlet' this big, this exciting, with this many cast members; it's quite a spectacle.
‐‐ David Denman
Usually you talk about directors in terms of the way they choose camera lenses or a kind of light to create a certain effect. But to me the most valuable commodity for a movie to create is a feeling of life, and that's what A Hard Day's Night has in spades.
‐‐ Michael Patrick Jann
Usually, YouTube channels are named after the person that you see on camera... or in the case of ours, it could have been the show, but we didn't even name the company 'Red vs. Blue.' We named it something else to give people the idea that we were going to be doing more than that.
‐‐ Burnie Burns
Utah may well be the most cosmopolitan state in America. Vast numbers of young Mormons - increasingly women as well as men - spend a couple of years abroad as missionaries and return jabbering in Thai or Portuguese and bearing a wealth of international experience.
‐‐ Nicholas Kristof
Utah today remains a battleground for land-use policies.
‐‐ Stewart Udall
UTC Aerospace Systems has a couple of million dollars of content on every single aircraft that gets delivered. That's the chutes, the electric system, rotors, etc.
‐‐ Louis R. Chenevert
UTC is very well positioned to take advantage of 2 large megatrends: urbanization and the fast-growing commercial aerospace market.
‐‐ Louis R. Chenevert
Utilities get out of the way. Can you imagine if you flipped a light switch and had to watch an ad before you got electricity? Can you imagine if you turned on a faucet and had to watch an ad before the water came out?
‐‐ Jan Koum
Utility is the great idol of the age, to which all powers must do service and all talents swear allegiance.
‐‐ Friedrich Schiller
Utility is when you have one telephone, luxury is when you have two, opulence is when you have three - and paradise is when you have none.
‐‐ Doug Larson
Utopia means elsewhere.
‐‐ John Malkovich
Utopia would mean a park - some large, some small - every four or five blocks.
‐‐ Thomas Hoving
Utopianism is probably a necessary social device for generating the superhuman efforts without which no major revolution is achieved.
‐‐ Eric Hobsbawm
Utrip makes it easy for travelers to experience the destination highlights that most interest them, be it food, art or history. Just like a culinary experience, every palate is different, and Utrip is all about personalizing travel for their users.
‐‐ Tom Douglas
Uttering a word is like striking a note on the keyboard of the imagination.
