A lot of kids get disappointed. They expect me to be, like, 'Bwaah.' 'If I spend a minute with them, they end up saying, 'Wow, you're a nice, normal guy.' They hate it when they catch me out of my makeup.
‐‐ Gerard Way
A lot of kids have parents who say, 'Music is hard; maybe you should come up with a Plan B.' Whenever I hear that kind of 'advice,' I think it's bad parenting. I was lucky to have a parent who assured me it was a possibility to pursue music.
‐‐ Gerald Clayton
A lot of kids only know 'E.T.' from the digitally-enhanced version.
‐‐ Steven Spielberg
A lot of kids spent more time out of school than in, but I always loved school and thought it was my way out of Cleveland, and out of poverty.
‐‐ Tracy Chapman
A lot of knowledge in any kind of an organization is what we call task knowledge. These are things that people who have been there a long time understand are important, but they may not know how to talk about them. It's often called the culture of the organization.
‐‐ Howard Gardner
A lot of Knxwledge's instrumentals just brought out this tone and swagger that I had played with before but had never really pinpointed before on my Anderson .Paak stuff. But then it just came so easily.
‐‐ Anderson Paak
A lot of labels are hiring a lot more accountants than people that know music.
‐‐ Taylor Hanson
A lot of Labour people are telling me Labour is in poor shape.
‐‐ Martin McGuinness
A lot of late nights in the gym, a lot of early mornings, especially when your friends are going out, you're going to the gym, those are the sacrifices that you have to make if you want to be an NBA basketball player.
‐‐ Jason Kidd
A lot of Latinos are like me: third generation, English speaking.
‐‐ Al Madrigal

A lot of leading countries in the world, including the United States and Russia, have to take their responsibilities much more seriously to ensure we are back on the road to peace and stability.
‐‐ Peter Hain
A lot of learned men think people really are the food they've eaten.
‐‐ Colonel Sanders
A lot of leftists think it is soccer's fault that people don't think, while most rightists are convinced that soccer is a proof that people think with their feet.
‐‐ Eduardo Galeano
A lot of legends, a lot of people, have come before me. But this is my time.
‐‐ Usain Bolt
A lot of local food is very tasty. I'm very happy to eat it. I just don't think it's the same thing as saving the world.
‐‐ Tyler Cowen
A lot of locked-room mysteries take time for you to pay attention and see the setup. They aren't thrillers, and they don't move along. The modern mystery story is really faster-paced, and I think modern readers tend to prefer seeing something happening on every other page.
‐‐ Otto Penzler
A lot of mainstream photographers seem not to think about what they're doing or feel any responsibility toward anything. By the time they're done, the models don't have any trace of themselves left. This thing about looking young with no wrinkles or expression is all so boring, really.
‐‐ Peter Lindbergh
A lot of making TV is lightening in a bottle.
‐‐ Stephen J. Cannell
A lot of male actors are method actors and they become the characters which they both were.
‐‐ Izabella Scorupco
A lot of married people certainly have wonderful relationships with their dogs, but when you're single and your dog is the only other living thing in your house, it's a really special relationship which I wanted CATHY to have.
‐‐ Cathy Guisewite
A lot of me is very up, and you have to have light and shade. They are both important and you have to be able to balance them. You have to admit that sadness is part of you and that it enriches you. I use it in my work.
‐‐ Imelda Staunton
A lot of media that that I want to consume, I don't want to have to own forever and ever. It's not like real estate.
‐‐ John Hodgman
A lot of medicines are not there to cure diseases. That's fine - drugs that keep people alive who wouldn't otherwise be alive are useful. What I object to is the drug companies' advertising, which you see everywhere in the U.S., which claims that they are curing diseases when they're not.
‐‐ Richard J. Roberts
A lot of men are very possessive and they want to control you. But as you grow older, you attract people who are on your wavelength and who understand who you are.
‐‐ Marisa Berenson
A lot of men do have a fear of my ultra-femininity. Sometimes people say I look like a drag queen, that I look scary, but I think that's a fear of my confidence. Most women in contemporary culture pare down their femininity, so there's a slight androgyny about them, and I think men have got used to seeing that.
‐‐ Paloma Faith
A lot of men in politics suddenly woke up to the issue of women in politics when they realised: hey, there are votes in this!

A lot of mixed-race stories are these navel-gazing, horrible accounts of mulatto tragedy.
‐‐ James McBride
A lot of modeling is how much crap you can take.
‐‐ Lauren Hutton
A lot of modern amps and preamps sound great when you're jamming by yourself, but don't hold up in a band situation. The sound isn't dense enough, and the lows and highs tend to get soaked up by the bass and cymbals.
‐‐ James Hetfield
A lot of modern comedies are difficult to watch too, because they're so ironic and so detached and so quote-unquote clever. They kind of keep you at arm's length. They can be really funny, but they're not really nourishing.
‐‐ Ty Burrell
A lot of modern horror can leave me cold, and I'm not good with blood and gore and all that stuff. It's not fun for me. There's nothing entertaining about watching a film like that.
‐‐ Daniel Radcliffe
A lot of moms give their kids line reads. My mom wasn't put in that position because I always had an acting teacher helping with the feelings rather than how to say something.
‐‐ Kirsten Dunst
A lot of money eliminates a category of worry. If your car breaks down, you're still going to get through the day. But it doesn't make you a happy person if you weren't a happy person before.
‐‐ Gary David Goldberg
A lot of money is spent trying to keep people alive who don't necessarily want to be alive.
‐‐ Bob Newhart
A lot of Montanans are teed off that local finds usually end up in New York.
‐‐ Jack Horner
A lot of more modern films seem to just be out for violence or sex or what have you, without relating it to what's going within human beings. But every now and then one comes along that does that, and it's a joy.
‐‐ Kim Hunter
A lot of mothers want to be with their children. They can't afford it for this reason or that reason.
‐‐ Michael Leunig
A lot of movie stars are not great actors; they're just very good-looking. And when they start to age and they don't have the looks any more, then it's over.

A lot of movies that come from Israel are about war, but there is such good, funny, rounded writing that comes from the country that I wish more people would discover.
‐‐ Odeya Rush
A lot of movies treat kids like idiots.
‐‐ Anna Chlumsky
A lot of movies were influenced by 'Logan's Run,' like 'Minority Report'. A lot of films have those elements in them.
‐‐ Joel Silver
A lot of movies you do because they're fun, they make people forget about their day.
‐‐ James Van Der Beek
A lot of MTV's programming is hip-hop based, and the messages are usually all about bling bling. A lot of hip-hop artists sing about stuff that's more important, but they seldom get heard. The ones who get heard are the ones saying, 'Think about yourself. Make your money. It's all you. Everybody have a good time and party.'
