I know you're always supposed to want more of everything. But in truth, I'm having a nice ebb and flow of being in my daughter's life every day and getting to keep my work life alive. I'm not nominated for ten thousand everythings every minute, but I am acting and telling stories I love.
‐‐ Helen Hunt
I know you're not supposed to have TV in your room, but I like watching a little. I need something mindless.
‐‐ Rebecca Romijn
I know you're supposed to be thick-skinned in this business, but I'm not. I kind of like to hang on to being vulnerable.
‐‐ Rhea Seehorn
I know you're supposed to hide your influences, but I suppose I see writing as riffing, really, about whatever you have been reading or thinking about that day or that week.
‐‐ Steve Toltz
I know you shouldn't spit in your own soup but I think most crime writing is like TV and doesn't make enormous demands on one's intellect.
‐‐ Donna Leon
I know you think that when you're 35, 45, 55, you'll be different. But I'm going to let you in on a bit of a secret. You're going to look different, and your life is going to be different, but in your head you'll always be that 16-year-old girl.
‐‐ Francine Pascal
I know you've been married to the same woman for 69 years. That is marvellous. It must be very inexpensive.
‐‐ Charles Stuart Calverley
I know you've got to earn people's trust, and you've got to earn it day after day after day.
‐‐ Nicola Sturgeon
I know you've heard it a thousand times before. But it's true - hard work pays off. If you want to be good, you have to practice, practice, practice. If you don't love something, then don't do it.
‐‐ Ray Bradbury
I knuckle down with my demons, and with my weaknesses.
‐‐ Carlos Santana
I, Kusama, am the modern Alice in Wonderland.
‐‐ Yayoi Kusama
I labored for eight years thinking I was writing a book for adults that was a nostalgic look back on childhood. Then my publisher informed me I'd written a children's book.
‐‐ Jeff Kinney
I labored hard to avoid trouble and bloodshed.
‐‐ Chief Joseph
I lack confidence as an actor.
‐‐ Charles Durning
I lack confidence, but I've been so lucky the way jobs have come to me, and I'm so grateful for them. I know how many brilliant actors there are out there who aren't getting the chances. While the work is there, I will grab it with both hands. It could all end tomorrow. You never know what's around the corner.
‐‐ Sheridan Smith
I lack the magnificent richness of color that animates nature.
‐‐ Paul Cezanne
I lack trust in others.
‐‐ Mika
I landed a job with Roger Corman. The job was to write the English dialogue for a Russian science fiction picture. I didn't speak any Russian. He didn't care whether I could understand what they were saying; he wanted me to make up dialogue.
‐‐ Francis Ford Coppola
I landed about one a year. Just enough to make me question the gas money and all the driving in rush hour. When you audition for commercials, it's a lot of driving. What I netted wasn't exactly matching the hours I was putting in. I figured I'm not a face that makes people want to buy Lysol. Then I auditioned for Progressive.
‐‐ Stephanie Courtney
I landed in 1980 in Bangkok, and I stopped to eat ten times between the airport and the hotel. It was all lemongrass and ginger and chilies.
‐‐ Jean-Georges Vongerichten
I landed the role in 'Caddyshack' auditioning, like everybody else. It wasn't a role I thought I'd get, so I had nothing to lose.
‐‐ Cindy Morgan
I landed the role of Bravo 5, the only female fighter pilot in 'Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace.' I did my bit and fired my guns, but I haven't a notion of which side I was on or who I was firing the guns at.
‐‐ Celia Imrie
I lapsed into rude.
‐‐ Dennis Miller
I last went to a gym when I was a teenager to make sure I could lift ballerinas.
‐‐ Damian Woetzel
I lasted one night. They said my playing spoiled people's appetites.
‐‐ James Stewart
I laugh a lot and count my blessings.
‐‐ Cheryl Ladd
I laugh a lot in horror films. If I'm scared in a horror film, I try to think about what's scaring me... particularly, if it's a bad movie, but something they're doing still works. It's the same way I look at comedy. I've always had an intellectual view of comedy, and what makes people laugh, and how does it work.
‐‐ Jason Reitman
I laugh all the time - at things, people, stuff, whatever. But, I don't laugh onstage because then it's serious business.
‐‐ Steven Wright
I laugh and joke, but I don't get distracted very easily.
‐‐ LeBron James
I laugh at absurdity hardest, then stories, then observations, then bearded men on roller skates.
‐‐ T. J. Miller
I laugh at it now, but one time I had an agent tell me I would never work in TV if I didn't get a nose job. People tell you to change yourself to fit into the L.A. scene, but the advice usually doesn't make any sense. The next agent told me my nose was great!
‐‐ Amanda Righetti
I laugh at what I used to think was cool when I was growing up. In all seriousness, I thought having braces was cool.
‐‐ Rachel Nichols
I laugh every day. There are days when my laughs are pretty hollow. Dust comes out of your mouth, and your bones make a funny sound. But I'm laughing.
‐‐ James L. Brooks
I laugh my head off every day with my husband and my kids, who are mooning me and singing me songs.
‐‐ Melissa McCarthy
I laugh very hard at work every day.
‐‐ John Lasseter
I laugh when Floyd Mayweather says that if he went back in time he would beat us all. I'll tell you this: if he was in the same era as Hagler and Hearns and Leonard and me, I don't think he would be such a big name. There is too much talk.
‐‐ Roberto Duran
I laugh when I see people in pain. Sometimes I think it is a defense mechanism from childhood, where you're in so much pain you have to laugh. It is a survival mechanism.
‐‐ Andy Dick
I laughed all the way through Love Story.
‐‐ Paul Lynde
I laughed at Willie Nelson, wondering why he spends all his life on that tour bus. And I look at myself, and I'm sitting in airplanes half the time.
‐‐ Del Shannon
I laughed, even if I was the butt of the joke.
‐‐ Pete Waterman
I laughed when Steven Spielberg said that cloning extinct animals was inevitable. But I'm not laughing anymore, at least about mammoths. This is going to happen. It's just a matter of working out the details.
‐‐ Hendrik Poinar
I launched Chefs for Humanity, a national nonprofit, with my voice, heart and money from my own pocket. Money gives you the ability to make a difference in the world and, when used in a positive way, is a lot of fun.
‐‐ Cat Cora
I launched Imperia at the Statue of Liberty because I wanted to use something symbolic. I like American society because it always wants to do something new and better.
‐‐ Roustam Tariko
I launched 'Lightspeed' magazine in 2010, and from day one, we've had a strict mission to try to have gender parity in the magazine because that was the first hurdle that science fiction and fantasy have been dealing with for a long time.
‐‐ John Joseph Adams
I launched The Emeril Lagasse Foundation to provide culinary training, and developmental and educational programs to children in the cities where my restaurants operate. I think everyone has a responsibility to give back to the community if they can, and to help future generations learn new skills.
‐‐ Emeril Lagasse
I, Lawrence Klein, was born in Omaha, Nebraska, as were my elder brother and younger sister.
‐‐ Lawrence R. Klein
I lay a lot of blame at the feet of Dusty Baker for not being more strict about fundamentals, which I think would give the team a stronger day-to-day identity.
‐‐ Billy Corgan
I lay in my dressing room after being in make-up waiting to go on. They knew I was feeling pretty rotten and they tried to give me time to rest. But I couldn't sleep. I couldn't do anything.
‐‐ Dick York
I lay in the bed at the hospital and said, 'let's see what I have left.' And I could see, I could speak, I could think, I could read. I simply tabulated my blessings, and that gave me a start.
