In most places in the country, voting is looked upon as a right and a duty, but in Chicago it's a sport.

In most places that are rich in guitar culture, everyone uses their fingers, like in Spain or Africa. In Japan there are string instruments played that way. It is not until you get in the States that you find people using picks.

In most presidential elections, the taller candidate wins.

In most professions, if you stay at the office an extra four hours every day, you're gonna impress the boss. You're gonna get that promotion; you're gonna get that raise. You're gonna at least have job security. But with acting, if you're really ambitious and you have a good work ethic and are really good at your job, it might not really matter.

In most recent times, as the West started being hostile to us, we deliberately declared a Look East policy.

In most schools, we measure children on what they know. By and large, they have to memorize the content of whatever test is coming up. Because measuring the results of rote learning is easy, rote prevails. What kids know is just not important in comparison with whether they can think.
‐‐ Sugata Mitra
In most scripts, one or two characters have a lot of colors.
‐‐ Joel Kinnaman
In most shows, there's usually a hero or a protagonist, and even if there are multiple heroes or protagonists, most shows try and make it so you really always know who's the good guy and who's the bad guy.
‐‐ Jill Soloway
In most sports, your brain and your body will cooperate... But in rock climbing, it is the other way around. Your brain doesn't see the point in climbing upwards. Your brain will tell you to keep as low as possible, to cling to the wall and not get any higher. You have to have your brain persuading your body to do the right movements.
‐‐ Jo Nesbo
In most states, it's more difficult to get a license for your dog than it is to buy a big cat. Right now, there are more tigers in the state of Texas than in all of India.

In most things success depends on knowing how long it takes to succeed.
‐‐ Charles de Montesquieu
In motion pictures, the actor rules. The camera served the actor.
‐‐ Richard Donner
In motivating people, you've got to engage their minds and their hearts. I motivate people, I hope, by example - and perhaps by excitement, by having productive ideas to make others feel involved.
‐‐ Rupert Murdoch
In motorsports we work in the grey areas a lot. You're trying to find where the holes are in the rule book.
‐‐ Danica Patrick
In movement class, you had to lie on the floor and get your alignment in to pass the class.
‐‐ Beth Henley
In movies and in television the robots are always evil. I guess I am not into the whole brooding cyberpunk dystopia thing.
‐‐ Daniel H. Wilson
In movies and TV, we tend to fall into tropes about how characters might get out of problems. But when you look at real life, you realize that there is a lot of drama of not being able to get out of the problems.
‐‐ Matthew Weiner
In movies, I have had the opportunity of working with some of the people that I respect very much.
‐‐ Chi McBride
In movies, images cost - if you want a big image, it takes more money.
‐‐ Alejandro Jodorowsky
In movies, it's so easy to have this 'boom,' to kill, and I think that's inhumane.
‐‐ Jacques Audiard
In movies we tend make things black and white: you're either this, or you're that.
‐‐ Bill Skarsgard
In movies, you don't get reactions: Live, when you do a joke, you know in a second whether it's good or bad. But in a movie, since no one is allowed to laugh or do anything, when you're done with a scene, you're left asking, 'Was that funny?'
‐‐ Carrot Top
In movies, you get to explore parts of yourself that in real life, people shy away from, like looking stupid or embarrassing yourself or getting too angry, anything inappropriate. As an actor, you walk into those moments.
‐‐ Jess Weixler
In movies, you shoot out of sequence, so the issue of reality is really taken out of it.
‐‐ Rosie Perez
In Mozart and Salieri we see the contrast between the genius which does what it must and the talent which does what it can.
‐‐ Maurice Baring
In much of computer science, I can easily 'auto-grade' your work and give you an instant meaningful feedback. I can't do this when it comes to the subtlety of human thought, language, poetry, philosophy.
‐‐ Sebastian Thrun
In much of society, research means to investigate something you do not know or understand.
‐‐ Neil Armstrong
In much of the world, there is a sense of an ultra-powerful CIA manipulating everything that happens, such as running the Arab Spring, running the Pakistani Taliban, etc. That is just nonsense.
‐‐ Noam Chomsky
In Mudcrutch we all wrote songs, and when it got to the focus on Tom and the Heartbreakers, I kept writing songs, but it wasn't anything that was up the Heartbreakers tree, I didn't think - and I don't think they did, either. So I kept writing songs for the hell of it, but I didn't want to make a record just for the sake of making a record.

In Mumbai, the air is saltier. The sea is roilier. The traffic is snarlier. The pinks are pinker. The ostentation is crazier.
‐‐ Hanya Yanagihara
In music, as I find myself forever saying, things don't get better or worse: they evolve and transform themselves.
‐‐ Luciano Berio
In music, I wanted to make sure I was innovating.
‐‐ Jidenna
In music, on stage and on screen, fairy tales have always been guaranteed moneymakers. It's no wonder then, that in these difficult economic times, there are fairy tales everywhere you turn. From 'Once Upon a Time' and 'Grimm,' to 'Mirror, Mirror' and 'Snow White and the Huntsman.'
‐‐ Alethea Kontis
In music one must think with the heart and feel with the brain.
‐‐ George Szell
In music the passions enjoy themselves.
‐‐ Friedrich Nietzsche
In music, the punctuation is absolutely strict, the bars and rests are absolutely defined. But our punctuation cannot be quite strict, because we have to relate it to the audience. In other words we are continually changing the score.
‐‐ Ralph Richardson
In music, which was my world before, you've got thousands and thousands of years of great ideas that have already been thought of. But the internet is basically 20 years old. So you can be way stupider and still have world-changing ideas.
‐‐ Andrew Mason
In music, you can use metaphors with ease - if a person doesn't understand the parable, they can still enjoy the melody of the music. If, however, a person reads a book and misses the meaning of its metaphors, this will be extremely disheartening for both the reader as well as the author.
‐‐ Cat Stevens
In music, you feel a connection to the voice and think about the person behind it. In art that's secondary.
‐‐ Marilyn Manson
In music you have people exposing this very vulnerable part of themselves, and you also have the lifestyle is so fast that oftentimes people search for whatever the easiest way to feel relaxed in the midst of all of it, or the easiest way to have energy.
‐‐ John Frusciante
In musical theater you have to be very big and very animated, while film and television are more toned down.
‐‐ Kevin Richardson
In my 10 years, I never put a girl that was too skinny in French 'Vogue.'
‐‐ Carine Roitfeld
In my 10 years that I spent out in TV and film, I had my shares of frustrations and annoyances and disappointments, but also I think it was, in the long run, it was very good for me in a whole bunch of ways.
‐‐ George R. R. Martin
In my 20 years as a photographer, covering conflicts from Bosnia to Gaza to Iraq to Afghanistan, injured civilians and soldiers have passed through my life many times.
‐‐ Anja Niedringhaus
In my 20 years in football, I was fortunate enough never to have experienced relegation. And while there is the pressure of expectations at the top of the league, at the bottom it comes in fear and trepidation, which is almost worse.
‐‐ Gary Neville
In my 20 years of baseball, I've been misquoted three or four times, and for someone who talks as much as I do, that's incredible.
‐‐ Curt Schilling
In my 20s, as I began to travel in Europe, I found comfort in religious paintings. Even though my own belief in Catholic dogma had been shaken and weakened, I found that the beauty and the richness of the art still held me.
‐‐ Colm Toibin
In my 20s, I became obsessed with the role-playing game 'Romance of the Three Kingdoms,' named after a classical Chinese novel, and later 'The Sims,' a life-simulation game, and 'StarCraft,' a science-fiction game.
‐‐ Kim Young-ha
In my 20s, I could just power through stuff and be fine, but now, in your 40s? It's kind of like Kobe Bryant. He plays basketball a little bit differently than he did when he first started out.
