When you say something or sing something enough times, it becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy. It's almost like casting spells. I don't mean necessarily in the flighty, 'I'm going to go buy a cloak with a hood now' way.

When you say that I can go and make a movie, I feel like I'm one of the most fortunate men. I feel myself to be a fortunate man that I found something to do that I really love.
‐‐ Michael Mann
When you say that you are a race man, it means that you embrace the entire black community regardless of the hue, whether somebody is very light and could pass for possibly white or someone is very dark.
‐‐ Ed Smith
When you say that you write romantic fiction, there are a lot of people who have an image in their mind of the 'bodice ripper.' It's the one term that most romantic fiction writers absolutely hate because it has no bearing on what people are writing.
‐‐ Susanna Kearsley
When you say the name Gilligan, you know who that is. If a show is good, if it's written well, you should be able to erase the names of the characters saying the lines and still be able to know who said it. If you can't do that, the show will fail.
‐‐ Sherwood Schwartz
When you say things like, 'We have to wipe out the Taliban,' what does that mean? The Taliban is not a fixed number of people. The Taliban is an ideology that has sprung out of a history that, you know, America created anyway.
‐‐ Arundhati Roy
When you say we're bringing a product to market, you make sure you execute.
‐‐ Thorsten Heins
When you say you agree to a thing in principle you mean that you have not the slightest intention of carrying it out in practice.
‐‐ Otto von Bismarck
When you say you are a gamer and you are a celebrity or a former celebrity there's a grain of salt that everybody takes that with.
‐‐ Curt Schilling
When you say you are in love with humanity, you are well satisfied with yourself.
‐‐ Luigi Pirandello
When you say you're 40, you can't call yourself an ingenue any more.
‐‐ Molly Ringwald
When you scan the globe's hot spots, every civil war and massacre, every act of terror and every clash between states has its unique local circumstances.
‐‐ Atifete Jahjaga
When you scratch the surface, every one of us has something that we deeply want to contribute to the world. All we have to do is step up and do it.
‐‐ Jack Canfield
When you screw up in the ring, it's so embarrassing. But the fans don't know you screwed up unless you act like you just made a mistake.
‐‐ Jake Roberts
When you see a 14-year-old boy who has never known what peace looks like for a day in his life, there's part of you as a human being that feels some degree, you can say, compassion for the fact that these boys have known war, famine, violence and death from the day they were born.
‐‐ Amanda Lindhout
When you see a bad romantic comedy, you see the script, the director, and the actors trying to create this warmth and this pathos and this feeling that you care about them. That cannot be manufactured - it's either there or it isn't.
‐‐ Jeff Garlin
When you see a comedian on stage, the best comedians make it feel like a conversation. But it's not. We have very little interest in what an audience has to say during a performance. Being a stand-up comedian, you're an egomaniac to some degree. Everyone wants to hear what you have to say, apparently. That's not how real relationships work.
‐‐ Hari Kondabolu
When you see a crowd of people jumping up and down at a pop concert, all gloriously in the moment, I don't think you'll ever see a comedian there. They'll all be standing at the sides, looking at how it all fits together.
‐‐ Steve Coogan
When you see a fantastic colour or cut in a magazine, perched up on some famous so-and-so's head, it's tempting to ask your stylist for the same, but do not be fooled. The hair in those fancy photos can be very high maintenance.
‐‐ Beth Ditto
When you see a fashion show, you see those seven minutes of what was six months of tedious work of, you know, going up an inch and down an inch, changing it from one shade of red to another shade of red. So it's the same as any creative process. The result is what we see, but the process is really labor intensive and work.
‐‐ Marc Jacobs
When you see a finished film, it's very rare that it exceeds your expectations.
‐‐ Matthew Goode
When you see a fish you don't think of its scales, do you? You think of its speed, its floating, flashing body seen through the water... If I made fins and eyes and scales, I would arrest its movement, give a pattern or shape of reality. I want just the flash of its spirit.
‐‐ Constantin Brancusi
When you see a fly flitting around your hair or your potato salad, you might see an annoyance. But in my lab, you really see a marvelous machine: arguably the most sophisticated flying device on the planet.
‐‐ Michael Dickinson
When you see a girl like me bustin' perps, there ain't no time to be pretty.
‐‐ Mariska Hargitay
When you see a good horseman, you're unable to tell where the instruction is coming from. It's like telepathy.
‐‐ Benedict Cumberbatch
When you see a merger between two giants in a declining industry, it can look like the financial version of a couple having a baby to save a marriage.
‐‐ Adam Davidson
When you see a person, do you just concentrate on their looks? It's just a first impression. Then there's someone who doesn't catch your eye immediately, but you talk to them and they become the most beautiful thing in the world. The greatest actors aren't what you would call beautiful sex symbols.
‐‐ Brad Pitt
When you see a rattlesnake poised to strike, you do not wait until he has struck to crush him.
‐‐ Franklin D. Roosevelt
When you see a silent movie, you understand everything that's going on from the images because the images are so strong.
‐‐ Monica Bellucci
When you see a singer on stage who is 100% committed to the personality, character and temperament of the role being sung, it's truly awesome and very powerful.
‐‐ Claron McFadden
When you see a struggle that you may be having personally put on a big screen and in a roomful of people, then it makes you feel less crazy or alone, because you're seeing that other people are dealing with it too. You get to see in this imaginary scenario how people might try and answer some questions or deal with some problems.
‐‐ Michael Shannon
When you see a Sudanese walking on the street, there is a story.
‐‐ Emmanuel Jal
When you see a tumour in the brain, it's an ugly looking thing. It's kind of black, grisly and messy. Or it can be white. To see it taken away is just amazing.
‐‐ James Nesbitt
When you see a woman who can go nowhere without a staff of admirers, it is not so much because they think she is beautiful, it is because she has told them they are handsome.
‐‐ Jean Giraudoux
When you see all of these bands citing you as influences, it makes you feel relevant.
‐‐ Geezer Butler
When you see all the medals won by Team GB, you can just see how much it means to each and every athlete, so it just feel like it's a little bit of a missed opportunity - but I'm only 23. I have just got to get on now and keep going.
‐‐ Katarina Johnson-Thompson
When you see all the suits in the room, everybody in the room has on suits, you know, the women, too. We're not wearing dresses and chiffon and we're not as fun as we used to be.
‐‐ Regina King
When you see an Alexander McQueen fashion show, you are taken on a journey. It's surreal.
‐‐ Josephine de La Baume
When you see another tall woman on the street, you nod, sort of like Orthodox Jews.
‐‐ Judy Gold
When you see government leaders really bullying business, you know that government's economic policy is failing. They get angry and they get desperate.
‐‐ Amity Shlaes
When you see grown men near to tears because they've missed hitting a little white ball into a hole from three feet, it makes you laugh.
‐‐ Bill Murray
When you see how fragile and delicate life can be, all else fades into the background.
‐‐ Jenna Morasca
When you see how the President makes political or policy decisions, you see who he is. The essence of the Presidency is decision-making.
‐‐ Bob Woodward
When you see how you react when you suffer that's when you know what you are made of.
‐‐ Leighton Meester
When you see in places like Africa and parts of Asia abject poverty, hungry children and malnutrition around you, and you look at yourself as being people who have well being and comforts, I think it takes a very insensitive, tough person not to feel they need to do something.
‐‐ Ratan Tata
When you see it from the outside, then you see just how great the Tour de France is.
‐‐ Bradley Wiggins
When you see John Boehner crying, believe you me, it's because he cannot control, uh, that wild contingency called the Tea Party.
‐‐ Gwen Moore
When you see 'Lord of the Rings,' you want to feel like you've been dropped into it and that you're part of it. You don't want to be aware of how it's being done; you just want it to feel really seamless.
‐‐ Howard Shore
When you see Major League Baseball putting academies in other countries, obviously that throws up a red flag. You wonder why they ain't going up in our neighborhood. Bottom line, what I see, I talk about... I see it over and over. If anybody can show me I'm wrong, then show me.
‐‐ Gary Sheffield
When you see me on the street, act like you know me.
‐‐ Tracy Morgan
