You don't know what inspires you. You like to think you know what inspires you, but in the final analysis I don't think you really do. It's great to look at a blank sheet of paper, you know, and walk up to an instrument and not know what's gonna happen. It's the most challenging thing I do.

You don't know what mental telepathy exists from the human to the animal.

‐‐ Pharrell Williams
You don't know what people are really like until they're under a lot of stress.

You don't know what's going to happen in our business a year from now... so you have to be flexible and adaptable, and that's what we try to do.
‐‐ Bruce Nordstrom
You don't know what someone's going to walk away from a movie with, but you hope it's something positive, but if nothing, you want them most basically to be entertained and engaged. That's your job. But you also hope to give them something to chew on or maybe some insight into the human existence, you hope a little bit. Not to sound too lofty.
‐‐ Melissa Rosenberg
You don't know what the Chinese expect in the way of beauty. The presentation is just a farce. You come into a room filled with 50 people and they don't talk to you. There's very little interaction.
‐‐ Helmut Jahn
You don't know what unconditional love is. You may say you do, but if you don't have a child, you don't know what that is. But when you experience it, it is the most fulfilling ever.
‐‐ Regina King
You don't know what you can get away with until you try.

You don't know when you are immersed in a book what the reaction to it will be, but I feel great about 'The Lake of Dreams.'
‐‐ Kim Edwards
You don't know when you're being watched. That's one of the weird things about celebrity. It's my least favorite part of acting, celebrity.
‐‐ Denzel Washington
You don't know where life takes you.
‐‐ Ian McShane

‐‐ Chris Tucker
You don't know why someone is in a certain circumstance and why they chose to be there. Sometimes it's just about having an experience and learning. I don't think you can begrudge someone that.
‐‐ Megalyn Echikunwoke
You don't lead by hitting people over the head - that's assault, not leadership.
‐‐ Dwight D. Eisenhower
You don't lead by pointing and telling people some place to go. You lead by going to that place and making a case.
‐‐ Ken Kesey
You don't learn acting, you nourish it. I don't regret not going to drama school because I was very afraid of all the lessons. I'm allergic to technicality.
‐‐ Romain Duris
You don't learn anything from success. You know, it's comfortable, it's nice, it's warm, but success just leaves you kind of feeling a little bloated.
‐‐ Nick Nolte
You don't learn charm. It's not something that you can acquire. I have used it much in my life with great success, but it's not necessarily what makes me an actor. It became a very easy label to attach to me. It also feels a bit dismissive. People go, 'You're so lovely and charming', but it's a wee bit, 'That's all you are.'
‐‐ James Nesbitt
You don't learn from a situation where you do something well. You enjoy it and you give yourself credit, but you don't really learn from that. You learn from trial and error, trial and error, all the time.
‐‐ Suzanne Farrell
You don't learn from good people - they've found what works for them and are completely original; you learn from the people who are bad. You think: 'Oh dear, I'm not going to do that.'
‐‐ Helen McCrory
You don't learn from successes; you don't learn from awards; you don't learn from celebrity; you only learn from wounds and scars and mistakes and failures. And that's the truth.
‐‐ Jane Fonda
You don't learn style from watching people on a runway. Fashion happens every morning when you wake up.
‐‐ Shalom Harlow
You don't learn to walk by following rules. You learn by doing, and by falling over.
‐‐ Richard Branson
You don't leave Australia unless you are passionate. Any Australian actor who comes to America is really committed. There are no dabblers - it's all or nothing.
‐‐ Margot Robbie
You don't leave behind box office scores or how many dollars changed hands.
‐‐ Alex Van Halen
You don't leave people who can't defend themselves.
‐‐ Tori Amos
You don't let a historic site rot.
‐‐ Robert Ballard
You don't lie to your own doctor. You don't lie to your own attorney, and you don't lie to your employees.
‐‐ Gordon Bethune
You don't like it when a French housewife gets mad at you. If she gets steam behind her, she is an unstoppable creature.
‐‐ Peter Mayle
You don't like to be lied to, by your friends or in your business dealings. So why would you want to be lied to when it comes to the origin of life or the fate of the planet?
‐‐ Steven Pinker
You don't live on the Earth you want, you live on the Earth you have.
‐‐ Jeff Rich
You don't lock into a ten-year family budget. You take it a year at a time - maybe even six months at a time. And then if the income really comes in the way you hope it does, then you can make some of those expenditures that you've been waiting to make. We think that same principle should apply to the national family we call America.
‐‐ Dick Gephardt
You don't look at a painting and ask if the artist was gay or straight. I think it's irrelevant in any situation - I don't care if my garbageman is gay or straight as long as he picks up the garbage.
‐‐ Bryan Batt
You don't look at each other on the subway.
‐‐ Simon Pegg
You don't look out there for God, something in the sky, you look in you.
‐‐ Alan Watts
You don't lose weight by watching someone else exercise. You don't learn by watching someone else solve problems. It became clear to me that the only way to do online learning effectively is to have students solve problems.
‐‐ Sebastian Thrun
You don't make a decision about being a writer. There was a point, aged 21, when it became clear that this is who I am. The choice is how good you are going to be at it and how hard you are going to work.
‐‐ Philipp Meyer
You don't make a film because the audience is ready for it. You make a film because you have questions that are in your gut.
‐‐ Paul Haggis
You don't make a fortune doing cartoons. It's a lot of fun, it keeps you busy, and it's better than a kick in the pants, absolutely. But doing voiceover work doesn't make you rich. It just doesn't.
‐‐ Patrick Warburton
You don't make a movie by yourself; you certainly don't make a TV show by yourself. You invest people in their work. You make people feel comfortable in their jobs; you keep people talking.
‐‐ Vince Gilligan
You don't make a movie, the movie makes you.
‐‐ Jean-Luc Godard
