When I'm back in New York - and this is a terrible thing to complain about - I eat a lot more really, really good food than perhaps I'd like to. So many of my friends are really good chefs. It's kind of like being in the Mafia.
‐‐ Anthony Bourdain
When I'm being funny, I try not to offend. I don't think much of what I've done has been in really ghastly taste. I don't think I have embarrassed many people or distressed them.
‐‐ Kurt Vonnegut
When I'm bored or tired of being blonde, I'll throw on a wig. It's a lot less of a permanent way to change your look, and I have about 10 - all different colors, shapes, bobs, long hair, short, feathered.
‐‐ Sara Blakely
When I'm boxing, if my career isn't going well, at least I feel mentally and physically strong.
‐‐ Liam Hemsworth
When I'm building my dome in my chapel, and I had a vision - I've worked on perpetual motion and I haven't never give it up yet. I still think it could be done, perpetual motion. I had a vision of a un resist able windmill.
‐‐ Howard Finster
When I'm by myself, I never play music. I have a lot of it, for a girl, but I don't listen to it a lot. I hate picking music out; I'm not good at it.
‐‐ Amy Sedaris
When I'm called unkind... that really cuts to the quick. You can say anything else that you like about me.
‐‐ Rachel Johnson
When I'm challenged, I grow. I never want to be in a situation where I'm not challenged and not afraid. One of my favorite feelings is stepping into a film and knowing that I'm a little bit afraid of what I have to accomplish.
‐‐ Nikki Reed
When I'm channel surfing, and 'Silence of the Lambs' comes on, I have trouble turning it off. I wouldn't say that about 'Beautiful Mind.' It's a good movie, but I'm much more in awe of what Jonathan Demme did with 'Silence of the Lambs.'
‐‐ Toby Emmerich
When I'm clean-shaven and bathed, I look like a lawyer.
‐‐ John Benjamin Hickey
When I'm coming offstage after my show, I'm thinking about what's on my TiVo.
‐‐ Tyra Banks
When I'm competing, I need to be strong.
‐‐ Ashley Wagner
When I'm composing a scene for the first time, I try to imitate my character. The less critical distance the better - particularly when they're acting badly.
‐‐ Jonathan Dee
When I'm concentrating, I can be fixed in place for hours. In fact, there was a joke in my office that everybody would come and chat outside my door because they knew - no matter how loud they talked - if I was concentrating, it would not disturb me at all.
‐‐ Sonia Sotomayor
When I'm cooking for myself, I find that I eat almost completely vegetarian, although I'm not vegetarian.
‐‐ Gail Simmons
When I'm creating a character, I don't see it so much as playing someone else as just playing a specific part of myself under certain circumstances.
‐‐ Oscar Isaac
When I'm creating characters, I definitely think of theme songs. Writing for me is very visual, so I sometimes think of it in terms of a movie with a soundtrack, and try to transfer that to words.
‐‐ Marisha Pessl
When I'm creating characters, I just want to create characters that I can relate to, and be as honest about them as people as I can be. That's what I want to see when I go to the movies.
‐‐ Nicole Holofcener
When I'm creating, that's my heaven. If I haven't designed something every day, it is a failed day - that's how much I love fashion.
‐‐ Peter Nygard
When I'm curious about something, I do it full on and take it as far as I go, but when I feel like I've really explored it, I'm OK with putting it aside and going on to something else.
‐‐ Aimee Mullins
When I'm dancing, I don't know where the confidence comes from, but I just pretend I'm someone else, I think, and then I go out and dance.
‐‐ Maisie Williams
When I'm dancing, I'm not thinking about anything. I am here. I am totally there. You know? And the feeling is a sensation of being away from myself. My soul dances with the angels, and my body dances with my wife.
‐‐ Paulo Coelho
When I'm dancing with any woman, I immediately get rid of intimacy barriers. I just give her a big hug and crack on.
‐‐ Anton du Beke
When I'm dead and gone, people will know that the twenty-first century was started by Alexander McQueen.
‐‐ Alexander McQueen
When I'm dead, I wanna leave a body of work, like authors or great painters do.
‐‐ Paul Weller
When I'm dead, I want to be remembered as a musician of some worth and substance.
‐‐ Freddie Mercury
When I'm dead, somebody can write my biography. I wrote a national hymn, an anthem, which I don't want to present to that country. But I have a deal with my wife - when I'm dead, she should offer it, because then I'm safe.
‐‐ Giorgio Moroder
When I'm dead twenty-five years, people are going to begin to recognize me.
‐‐ Scott Joplin
When I'm dealing with the 18th century, as I do in 'The Firebird,' the difficulty isn't only finding what a woman did, it's finding her at all. Most of the sources I'm dealing with - letters and memoirs and written reports of the day - have been written by men.
‐‐ Susanna Kearsley
When I'm debating others, whether it's Eleanor Clift or Bob Beckel, you're still in a fierce debate mode, but you're also on best behavior.
‐‐ Monica Crowley
When I'm deciding to read a book, I never open to the first chapter, because that's been revised and worked over 88 times. I'll just turn to the middle of the book, to the middle of a chapter, and just read a random page and I'll know right away whether this is the real deal or not.
‐‐ Carl Hiaasen
When I'm depressed and I feel low thinking that good movies are not made any more, then I put on his movies and I watch them. I laugh and I cry and I have great pleasure.
‐‐ Geraldine Chaplin
When I'm depressed, I definitely comfort eat, but I also eat when I'm happy. The only time I don't eat is if I am terribly nervous.
‐‐ Sally Phillips
When I'm dining out privately, I tend to avoid fine-dining venues; I like things to feel casual.
‐‐ Nobu Matsuhisa
When I'm directing a movie, nothing else matters.
‐‐ Richard Attenborough
When I'm directing actors, I often find myself slipping in sports metaphors, like: 'Don't go for the punch line here, just put it up on a T-ball stand so she can hit it out of the park.'
‐‐ Mark Waters
When I'm directing films, I mostly try to create an environment on set that mimics what's in my mind as to the tone and feel of things. I try to create a place where you feel that anything's possible.
‐‐ Harmony Korine
When I'm directing, I'm pretty much not writing, but when I'm not directing I am writing a lot. It's strange: people have asked me what my schedule is and what is my process like, and I can't even answer it. I don't keep regular hours.
‐‐ Adam Rapp
When I'm directing, I noticed I'm not using my subconscious at all. I'm literally using the whole front part of my brain all the time. When you walk on the set, every moment you have to be there because something's going on that requires attention.
‐‐ Dan Gilroy
When I'm directing or producing, I like to do different kinds of stories. But you have to know what you really like, and when you do, you have to front your position.
‐‐ Danny DeVito
When I'm DJing for two hours, I might play two or three Smiths songs.
‐‐ Andy Rourke
When I'm documenting, for example, a story on women in Afghanistan, I will do a huge amount of research and a lot of time on the ground just getting to know the women before I even start shooting.
‐‐ Lynsey Addario
When I'm doing a book tour in the States, I'll wake up in the room sometimes in an anonymous chain hotel, and I don't know where I am right away. I'll go to the window, and it doesn't help there either, especially if you're in an anonymous strip and it's the usual Victoria's Secret, Gap, Chili's, Applebee's.
‐‐ Anthony Bourdain
When I'm doing a drama, I wish I was doing something funny. When I'm doing something funny, I wish I was doing something more serious. I think it's just human nature.
‐‐ Alan Ruck
When I'm doing a film, I love getting together after work with my costars. But we get back to L.A. and I'm like, 'I don't want to go to a club with you, dude. I mean, I think you're rad, and if you want to come play Scrabble with me, that's amazing.'
‐‐ Ginnifer Goodwin
When I'm doing a movie, I eat the same thing every day. For lunch, it's tuna salad or chicken salad and cole slaw. That's it. For dinner it's either veal and rice, fish and rice or steak and rice. It gets boring; boy, does it get boring.
‐‐ Sylvester Stallone
When I'm doing a movie, I'm not doing anything else. It's all about the movie. I don't have a wife. I don't have a kid. Nothing can get in my way... I've made a choice, so far, to go on this road alone. Because this is my time. This is my time to make movies.
‐‐ Quentin Tarantino
When I'm doing a photo shoot, I'm not playing a part. I'm just trying to be myself.
‐‐ Gaspard Ulliel
When I'm doing a store in a country, I always like to consider the concept of the country and the city. Ask what are the clothes of the city, what does this city represent for me?
