A long-lasting and sustained recovery will never be achieved through massive government spending programs.
‐‐ Sam Graves
A long-running argument exists over whether Christians and Muslims worship the same God. In my view, they certainly do.
‐‐ Jay Parini
A long-running TV series is a beast in that it demands you stick to one character over a long haul.
‐‐ Grant Bowler
A long-term crisis, after a certain point, no longer seems like a crisis. It seems like the way things are.
‐‐ James Surowiecki
A long time ago a bunch of people reached a general consensus as to what's real and what's not and most of us have been going along with it ever since.
‐‐ Charles de Lint
A long time ago, I became aware that many of us have a tendency to lump nature into simplistic categories, such as what we consider beautiful or ugly, important or unimportant. As human a thing as that is to do, I think it often leads us to misunderstand the respective roles of life forms and their interconnectedness.
‐‐ Gary Larson
A long time ago, I learned not to go up to the boss and ask what's happening to my character. I haven't done that for 20 years, since I was on 'Days of Our Lives.'
‐‐ Michael Easton
A long time ago, in a country not so far away, I was eight years old, doing my best Darth Vader imitation.
‐‐ Hayden Christensen
A long time ago, when all the grandfathers and grandmothers of today were little boys and little girls or very small babies, or perhaps not even born, Pa and Ma and Mary and Laura and Baby Carrie left their little house in the Big Woods of Wisconsin.
‐‐ Laura Ingalls Wilder
A long time ago, when I was married, in the beginning it was bliss. I eloped after one month, and I married for security. I thought, 'I finally met a man who loves God and comes from a great family. I'm working, I love God, and I'm out here in California by myself, and I've met this great man.' So, I said yes. And we eloped.
‐‐ Tichina Arnold
A long time ago when I was very little, I dreamed about being on stage. Some people told me I would never be able to do it, so I only paid attention to those who told me that I could.
‐‐ Lauren Potter
'A Long Way Gone' says something about human nature that we try, most of the time, to ignore.
‐‐ Carolyn See
A longbow takes a massive draw for the arrow to go anywhere.
‐‐ Luke Evans
A loser doesn't know what he'll do if he loses, but talks about what he'll do if he wins, and a winner doesn't talk about what he'll do if he wins, but knows what he'll do if he loses.
‐‐ Eric Berne
A losing trade, I assure you, sir: literature is a drug.
‐‐ George Borrow
A loss never bothers me after I take it. I forget it overnight. But being wrong - not taking the loss - that is what does damage to the pocketbook and to the soul.
‐‐ Jesse Livermore
A lost battle is a battle one thinks one has lost.
‐‐ Jean-Paul Sartre
A lost election can have the jolt of a drop through the gallows door, leading to a dark night of the soul in which the future presses down like a cloud that will never lift.
‐‐ James Wolcott
A lost of people recognize me and maybe will ask for an autograph, but it's nothing like if Elvis would've done something like that, 'cause he's so popular, or maybe The Beatles 'cause they stirred up a lot of action.
‐‐ Mickey Gilley
A lot about Congress is about forming good working relationships with people, and humor can really help you do that.
‐‐ Linda Sanchez
A lot affects the outcome. It boils down to scheduling and the commitment of the network.
‐‐ David Ogden Stiers
A lot can be said with just a look, or the way the body moves. Each song is a different character. So each song takes on a different movement of the body. And the body has to go with the subject and the attitude that you have toward that subject.
‐‐ Eartha Kitt
A lot can change because you are embarrassed by something.
‐‐ Per Petterson
A lot changed when I had Natasha. I'm a survivor.
‐‐ Natalie Wood
A lot happened in Vancouver. It was my first Western experience. I learned English, which is my second language. I became very acquainted with Western culture. I had my first sewing machine when I was 9. I trained in fashion illustration when I was in school.
‐‐ Jason Wu
A lot happens at 50, the best thing being that you just don't care anymore. At 40, you still care. At 30, you care way too much - and your twenties are quite frankly a nightmare. Bring on 60, I say: just imagine the joy of having grandchildren.
‐‐ Jerry Hall
A lot happens by accident in poetry.
‐‐ Howard Nemerov
A lot happens in 20 years.
‐‐ Pat Morita
A lot has been said about single mothers. Most of it has been less than flattering.
‐‐ Gayle Tzemach Lemmon
A lot has been written about Tony Perkins and myself and I figured, Let's get it straight. I had a relationship with Tony for two to three years, but those are only threads in the tapestry of my whole life.
‐‐ Tab Hunter
A lot has been written and said about why he was so great, but I think the best way to appreciate his greatness is just to go back and play some of the old records. Time has a way of being very unkind to old records, but Elvis' keep getting better and better.
‐‐ Huey Lewis
A lot has changed since the 1980s, when the United States was a country with one of the greatest numbers of people infected with HIV.
‐‐ Christy Turlington
A lot has happened over the years. And while this nation has been tested by war, and it's been tested by recession and all manner of challenges - I stand before you again tonight, after almost two terms as your president, to tell you I am more optimistic about the future of America than ever before.
‐‐ Barack Obama
A lot has happened since Dr. King left us. He probably wouldn't recognize the landscape if he saw it, but I still believe he would still have the same spiritual faith and also faith in us as people - not only people in our nation, but people in the world.
‐‐ Morris Dees
A lot has transpired in my life.
‐‐ Tiger Woods
A lot like Dave Matthews or John Mayer, I kind of stick with the acoustic genre.
‐‐ Brandon Jones
A lot of 18-year-olds are like old men. They think they've seen everything.
‐‐ Ben Folds
A lot of '2112' was written in the back seat of a car and in cold dressing rooms while on tour in northern Ontario.
‐‐ Alex Lifeson
A lot of a movie is locations, frankly.
‐‐ David Schwimmer
A lot of acting requires you to be a charming version of yourself. A lot of what happens in the industry is that you are cast based on other things that people have seen you do, or how you are perceived to look or sound. If everyone thinks you're bizarre and creepy, then you play bad guys.
‐‐ Matt Ross
A lot of acting techniques are very self-oriented.
‐‐ Anna Deavere Smith
A lot of action movies today seem to have scenes that just lead up to the action.
‐‐ Jason Statham
A lot of actors and actresses pull from past experiences.
‐‐ Maisie Williams
A lot of actors, and artists in general, never feel secure in love. They always feel everything's going to be taken away from them, professionally and personally; they're extremely emotional and volatile.
‐‐ Sylvester Stallone
A lot of actors are frustrated because they want to do things that are different and test themselves. Character actors are always looking for something the opposite of what they did.
‐‐ Jason Statham
A lot of actors are like, 'Why do I do this? My character wouldn't do this? This doesn't make sense.' And in a comedy, you kind of just need to walk into the door.
‐‐ Kathryn Hahn
A lot of actors are perfectionists, besides merely being egotists.
‐‐ Eric Mabius
A lot of actors aren't particularly good directors. And they're not particularly good with other actors. That's kind of a fallacy.
‐‐ Peter Mullan
A lot of actors don't like to see how they've done every day.
‐‐ Catherine Deneuve
A lot of actors find it impossible not to ask for the audience's sympathy. They have a need to twinkle.
‐‐ Julian Fellowes
