When people say this isn't the America they grew up in, they're right. Nobody gets to grow old in the America they grew up in.

When people say to me don't the years go fast I have to be honest and say that whereas I don't realise where they go in the long term, I pack so much into a year it seems to take forever.
‐‐ Paul Daniels
When people say to me, 'What do you think of rap music?', my answer is, 'There's no such thing. There's rap, and there's music.'
‐‐ Jack Jones
When people say to me, 'Why are you so good at writing at women?' I say, 'Why isn't everybody?'
‐‐ Joss Whedon
When people say to me, 'You make us proud,' it's heartwarming to hear that.
‐‐ Nadine Labaki
When people say to me, 'You're like the Anna Kournikova who wins,' I definitely take it as a compliment, because she's quite gorgeous.
‐‐ Amanda Beard
When people say - 'Well, do you miss being a judge since you're in Congress,' I go - 'Only when I want people to sit down and shut up.'
‐‐ Louie Gohmert
When people say 'What are underground comics?' I think the best way you can define them is just the absolute freedom involved... we didn't have anyone standing over us.
‐‐ Robert Crumb
When people say what is 'Gone With the Wind' about, they say it's a love story between Rhett Butler and Scarlett O'Hara. But Mammy is almost a third party.
‐‐ Donald McCaig
When people say, 'Why don't you face the music?' I say, 'You have to understand the music is not an open court and a fair trial.'
‐‐ Edward Snowden
When people say, 'You have Alzheimer's,' you have no idea what Alzheimer's is. You know it's not good. You know there's no light at the end of the tunnel. That's the only way you can go. But you really don't know anything about it. And you don't know what to expect.
‐‐ Nancy Reagan
When people say, you know, 'Good teacher,' 'Prophet,' 'Really nice guy'... this is not how Jesus thought of Himself. So you're left with a challenge in that, which is either Jesus was who he said he was or a complete and utter nut case. You have to make a choice on that.
‐‐ Bono
When people say, 'You're not being realistic,' they're just trying to tag some thoughts that they can't otherwise handle.
‐‐ David R. Brower
When people say, 'You're perceived as a sex symbol,' I love the idea of that because it's so absurd.
‐‐ James Nesbitt
When people say 'You're so beautiful' it makes me want to kill myself! As an actress you want to be seen for what you do, for the characters you can play, otherwise I'd be a model.
‐‐ Eva Green
When people say, 'Your music was the music of the Seventies,' I say, 'So was discoteque.' The Seventies was also the highest peak of heavy metal. Pick a genre - they were all alive.
‐‐ Gerry Beckley
When people screamed novelty the first time around talking about an ugly video and stuff I was really insulted because, hold on a minute, everyone you see in the video are real life.
‐‐ Bubba Sparxxx
When people see a legend, they call it a legend. But to be a legend, it's a lot of hard work and patience. You can't play for five or ten years and be a legend. It takes longer than that.
‐‐ Burning Spear
When people see a negative thing about me on a magazine, they're gonna buy it. Every time some site writes something bad, all my followers go on there, and it brings them more traffic.
‐‐ Justin Bieber
When people see a Spanish last name, they have an image in their head of what the typical Latina looks like. I think it's important on television to have different representations of people. And I'm so proud of being Latina. I love it.
‐‐ Kether Donohue
When people see an actor speak, they think they know him or her, whereas I'm just a face or a body to them.
‐‐ Kate Moss
When people see Barack Obama, they don't necessarily see an African-American president. They see someone who is a child of immigrants. They see someone whose family has worked hard and struggled. And they see many similarities between themselves and Barack Obama.
‐‐ Grace Meng
When people see me in something and say, 'That's just you - that's not acting,' it's the best compliment I can get.
‐‐ James Garner
When people see me knitting, I tell them I'm a knitter. Not the sort of knitter they may have run into before, but a passionate, constant, deliberate knitter. I knit everyday, all the time, everywhere I go.
‐‐ Stephanie Pearl-McPhee
When people see me on TV, they become very happy because they don't have to interact with me. When they start interacting with me, they ask me questions like I'm a baby or treat me like I'm a baby and hold me like I'm a baby, and that's what they do wrong, really.
‐‐ Jyoti Amge
When people see my makeup, they think all types of crazy things that I'm doing to my skin, but it's makeup. It's the weirdest thing. They'll see contouring and think you had surgery on your nose. No. No. No. Look at 'RuPaul's Drag Race' and you'll see... you can make your nose look... what ever shape you want it.
‐‐ Nicki Minaj
When people see political ads, they think someone's lying to them.
‐‐ Mark McKinnon
When people see the budget, they're going to say, 'Oh, my God, I wanted a tax cut, but I didn't know what you were going to do to health care and to Medicare and national defense.'
‐‐ John Breaux
When people see the Cubevision logo, they should know it's something good, something worth checking out.
‐‐ Ice Cube
When people see you have a song on MTV, they think you are doing well - but you know, the way the traditional label deal was set up, it is really hard for an artist, unless they sold a lot, to see anything.
‐‐ Jill Sobule
When people see your personality come out, they feel so good, like they actually know who you are.
‐‐ Usain Bolt
When people send people on summer camps or bonding trips, they send them to do things like high rope climbing or extraordinary things. And when you do extraordinary things with people, like fighting battles or simulating huge wars, you do bond very quickly.
‐‐ Anna Popplewell
When people show loyalty to you, you take care of those who are with you. It's how it goes with everything. If you have a small circle of friends, and one of those friends doesn't stay loyal to you, they don't stay your friend for very long.
‐‐ John Cena
When people show me clothing that seems very, very feminine, it's hard for me to embrace that, because it just doesn't feel like me.
‐‐ Ellen DeGeneres
When people show you who they are, believe them. I carry that with me a lot. It has served me well.
‐‐ Shonda Rhimes
When people sometimes misquote me, I don't know if they understand what I'm saying.
‐‐ Tommy Wiseau
When people speak of creating superhumanly intelligent beings, they are usually imagining an AI project.
‐‐ Vernor Vinge
When people speak their own language you get a much better sense of who they are.
‐‐ Bruno Tonioli
When people speak to you about a preventive war, you tell them to go and fight it. After my experience, I have come to hate war.
‐‐ Dwight D. Eisenhower
When people spot Fallon in public, they do not shriek or drool or go wobbly in the knees. It's a different look entirely. A tilt of the head, mouth agape, eyebrows rolled like you do when you see a puppy.
‐‐ Jeanne Marie Laskas
When people spot me, they are really warm. They acknowledge me with smiles and come up, even now, to tell me that I showed a lot of dignity in 'Big Brother.' Or they say, 'I voted for you to win!' which is really sweet.
‐‐ Shilpa Shetty
When people stand up and talk about the great success that the EU has been, I'm not sure anybody saying it really believes it themselves anymore.
‐‐ Nigel Farage
When people start asking you to do the same thing over and over again, that's when you know you're way too close to something that you don't want to be near.
‐‐ Neil Young
When people start dancing, they dance like they don't know they are doing it.
‐‐ Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan
When people start hurling insults at you, you know their minds are closed and there's no point in debating. You disengage yourself as quickly as possible from the situation.
‐‐ Judith Martin
When people start messing with their foreheads and can't lift their eyebrows, that's weird.
‐‐ Courteney Cox
When people start reconfiguring marriage, there's no going back.
‐‐ Margo Jefferson
When people start talking about venture capital and finances and how to create this and do that, a lot of it, I swear, it's like sitting in an escrow meeting when all you want to do is buy a house, and you're signing 50 pieces of paper, but you have no idea what they're talking about.
