With but few exceptions, it is always the underdog who wins through sheer willpower.
‐‐ Johnny Weissmuller
With cab drivers, I always say I'm from Brazil. I don't say I'm from Israel. It's happened more than once that someone is blaming me for the government's policy. And I say, 'Listen, I live here. I'm a musician. I don't call the shots.'
‐‐ Anat Cohen
With 'California,' editors were reading it, and fast, and others were emailing my agent to request it. Ultimately, there were a few editors interested in the book, and it sold at auction about two weeks after the submission process started. I couldn't believe it!
‐‐ Edan Lepucki
With 'Captain America,' you might have three lines of dialogue the whole day. And there are just a million angles and a million set-ups, and it's tedious.
‐‐ Chris Evans
With care and patience, people may accomplish things which, to an indolent person, would appear impossible.
‐‐ Dorothea Dix
With care, and skill, and cunning art, She parried Time's malicious dart, And kept the years at bay, Till passion entered in her heart and aged her in a day!
‐‐ Ella Wheeler Wilcox
With 'Carousel' I had an idea and it all came out quickly.
‐‐ George Murray
With 'Carrie,' I did, like, seven auditions. I'd never done a movie, so they wanted to make sure I wasn't going to ruin it. I don't blame them.
‐‐ Ansel Elgort
With celebrity being our new religion, it's increasingly difficult to start up on your own. Talented young designers are more likely to either go and work for celebrity brands or huge fashion houses than ever before.
‐‐ Alice Temperley
With Celine Dion, we were selling 25 million records a pop. 'Pop' stands for 'popular.' It means we're plugging into the masses.
‐‐ David Foster
With certain rapturous exceptions, literature is the moral life.
‐‐ Cynthia Ozick
With Charles Woods, it was the first time I had ever seen tissue from a dead person used to save a human life. It piqued my curiosity.
‐‐ Joe Murray
With Charlie Brown, it was about loneliness and isolation. I always thought that the thing about Charlie Brown and those characters was the absence of the parents. Half the strip was about who wasn't there. The parents were never in the picture.
‐‐ Matt Groening
With chefs, the problem is we have to be very confident because people are looking at us for that. So pretty soon, you think you're a plumber, you think you're an electrician, you think you're an accountant.
‐‐ Michael Mina
With children no longer the universally accepted reason for marriage, marriages are going to have to exist on their own merits.
‐‐ Eleanor Holmes Norton
With China and North Korea, you never know who you'll fight. The faces are always changing, and suddenly young opponents come up. It's all about winning at the Olympics, not about winning pretty. I'll just keep trying to improve, add more muscle power, and make sure I'm the last one standing.
‐‐ Saori Yoshida
With Ciel and with Rex, I said 'no epidural.' I recovered, I was walking right after I had them, just did a lot of praying all through my pregnancy that they would be healthy and my deliveries would go without a problem. I was really blessed.
‐‐ Niki Taylor
With Citizens United, the Supreme Court's declaration that corporations are people, the whims of one can silence the voices of millions.
‐‐ Christine Pelosi
With classical ballet you are literally injuring yourself.
‐‐ Marina Abramovic
With classical singing you have to put out so much air - you project, you emit force.
‐‐ Renee Fleming
With Clinton, there's no question that I would have made fun of his out-and-out lying. But he's also a good friend.
‐‐ Chevy Chase
With clothes, I like mixing what different designers do until it becomes a personal expression of how I'm feeling that day.
‐‐ ASAP Rocky
With clothing and fashion, the language changes - the gloves come off, and we all can participate.
‐‐ Jim Drain
With clothing being designed that allows you to be hugged virtually, video conferencing becoming ever sharper, and our social and romantic lives increasingly taking place online, the gap between the physical and the virtual is getting ever smaller.
‐‐ Noreena Hertz
With COBE, we can see things before the lights came on. While we probably will not rewrite the book of cosmology with this mission, we will write another chapter.
‐‐ John C. Mather
With Cold Sassy Tree having its first production, I saw no necessity to do anything other than produce it with the correct setting.
‐‐ Bruce Beresford
With color one obtains an energy that seems to stem from witchcraft.
‐‐ Henri Matisse
With comedians, you have that understanding that we're trying to get laughs.
‐‐ Colin Quinn
With comedy, don't try to be funny. That's really helped me. Just say the lines as you would say them, interact with other characters, and try to make it as real as possible. It will come out funny.
‐‐ Ariel Winter
With comedy especially, it feels like such a clear-cut thing to be a writer-director. There is so much nuance and tone in a comedy that it's hard to contextualise it in a script.
‐‐ Todd Phillips
With comedy I can search for the profound.
‐‐ Dario Fo
With comedy, I like to not rehearse and just have fun with it, because I think being spontaneous is the best thing for a comedy, in my opinion.
‐‐ Diora Baird
With comedy, I think it's so important, especially in TV, to know and trust what the writers are writing and just have it down.
‐‐ Jay Harrington
With comedy, I try to steer toward, you know, talking about people that do crazy things, messed-up things. That's what I like to talk about.
‐‐ Loni Love
With comedy, if you write something for me, I'm better at it. I'm not sure I'm so good at improvisational stuff.
‐‐ Robert Knepper
With comedy, it's a combination of knowing the comedic beat was good - it made you laugh, it made people on the crew laugh. With drama, you do something deep and if your stuff was really effective, the ultimate result is silence. Silence is not necessarily... that would also be the result if you sucked.
‐‐ Chris Pratt
With comedy, it's really hard to tell if something's working on the page - you really need the actors to bring it alive. The scariest part is if people will laugh or not.
‐‐ Maggie Carey
With comedy, the jokes will come out, and people will see them coming. Changes in daily life or current events can change the consciousness of audiences and can make the show less funny or feel more stale.
‐‐ Robert Lopez
With comedy, you have no place to go but more comedy, so you're never off the hook.
‐‐ Steve Martin
With comedy, you really want to work things out beforehand.
‐‐ Tim Matheson
With comics, there's no budget. There's a budget in terms of you have to pay an artist and a colorist and all that, but you can do anything you want to do.
‐‐ Marc Guggenheim
With comics you can put interesting and solid information in a format that's pretty palatable.
‐‐ Joe Sacco
With comics, you don't have to worry so much about budgetary constraints. In film and television, however fanciful you want to be, someone can come up to you and go, 'Okay, this is going to cost X amount of dollars, and we only have so many days to film this.' With graphic novels, you can have that alien invasion you've always wanted to see.
‐‐ John Ridley
With comics, you've got to develop some kind of shorthand. You can't make every drawing look like a detailed etching. The average reader actually doesn't want all that detail; it interferes with the flow of the reading process.
‐‐ Robert Crumb
With communication technology in general, there's a kind of certain critical mass of people. Once you get to 15% of the world's entire population using one communication technology, that's a big deal. It's beyond the theoretical at this point. The people who think it's a fad have probably not been paying that much attention.
‐‐ Ben Horowitz
With compassion you can die for other people, like the mother who can die for her child. You have the courage to say it because you are not afraid of losing anything, because you know that understanding and love is the foundation of happiness. But if you have fear of losing your status, your position, you will not have the courage to do it.
‐‐ Thich Nhat Hanh
With competition everyone has to try harder.
‐‐ Harold H. Greene
With concerted effort, I can follow written instructions, but don't ask me to simply grasp how to operate a smartphone.
‐‐ Michael Dirda
With confidence, you have won before you have started.
‐‐ Marcus Garvey
