In real life, I'd say that your commitment-phobe/narcissist/bad boy boyfriend is a lost cause, but romance is shelved in fiction for a reason.
‐‐ Sarah MacLean
In real life I do a lot of reconnaissance and then kind of choose the guy I'm going to go after. Not like stalking, but I just want a little background info. That might be why I haven't had many bad dates.
‐‐ Claire Coffee
In real life, I don't fall in love with the guy who wines and dines me, I fall in love with the flaws and the humanity.
‐‐ Rosemarie DeWitt
In real life, I first started sleep walking in high school because that was when this concept of getting into college first appeared. I had this moment of, 'Oh! This is going to affect the rest of my life.'
‐‐ Mike Birbiglia
In real life, I go to the North Shore with my kids for two weeks each summer, and it's a magical place for us. I feel restored there and connected to the ancient, pre - human world in a way that no place else on Earth does for me.
‐‐ Dean Bakopoulos
In real life, I have mostly gone for nice guys. I definitely had a phase where I was like, "Oh, the bad guy is really cool." It's fun to be bad for a while, and then that ended really terribly - one piece of advice I'll give to people is your mom is always right.
‐‐ Melissa Ordway
In real life, I'm a dad.
‐‐ James Spithill
In real life I'm a tall, blond Christian.
‐‐ Gilbert Gottfried
In real life, I'm always in tracksuits, and I never wear makeup.
‐‐ Teresa Palmer
In real life, I'm gorgeous, beautiful.
‐‐ Rachel Dratch
In real life, I'm not super-posh but if that's the stereotype, I really don't care. It could be worse.
‐‐ Sophie Ellis-Bextor
In real life, I'm polite and nice all the time. It's fun to play people who aren't. It's escapism.
‐‐ Rachel Weisz
In real life, I'm pretty much an eternal optimist.
‐‐ Abbie Cornish
In real life, I'm so brutally honest that it almost works against me sometimes.
‐‐ Holland Roden
In real life, I'm so goofy and super weird. I'm never mean, but people don't see the weird side of me. Like, I'll be dancing around. My best friends will always say that they wish others saw that side of me, when I'm doing a weird dance or weird faces or voices.
‐‐ Gigi Hadid
In real life, I'm the type of girl who doesn't take herself too seriously. I'm very serious when it comes to work, but I like to make jokes and have a good laugh and make fun of myself.
‐‐ Gal Gadot
In real life I'm very low-key. A wallflower. One of the reasons I went into comedy and acting was that I was sick of being shy.
‐‐ Jemaine Clement
In real life, I'm very rational, and I'm not very dramatic.
‐‐ Sophie Kennedy Clark
In real life, I swear by Edge Control by Olive Oil. My hairstylist hates it, but it's everything to me. And I mean everything! It's like a perm in a little jar of gel.
‐‐ Tasha Smith
In real life, I tend to yell at people a lot. Not because I'm bossy or mean, but because I'm frustrated.
‐‐ Jen Lancaster
In real life I've learned to love not wearing any makeup whatsoever, and I'm super low-maintenance when it comes to my hair.
‐‐ Leighton Meester
In real life, if I were firing you, I'd tell you what a great job you did, how fantastic you are, and how you can do better someplace else. If somebody steals, that's different, but generally speaking, you want to let them down as lightly as possible. It's not a very pleasant thing. I don't like firing people.
‐‐ Donald Trump
In real life, it is the hare who wins. Every time. Look around you. And in any case it is my contention that Aesop was writing for the tortoise market. Hares have no time to read. They are too busy winning the game.
‐‐ Anita Brookner
In real life, it's war, and war's not entertainment. War is 'old men lying and young men dying' kind of deal. That's a saying; I didn't make that up.
‐‐ Marcus Luttrell
In real life, my parents pretty much approved of all my boyfriends. I guess I was doing something wrong. I should have been more rebellious.
‐‐ Lindsay Pulsipher
In real life, nothing would be more tedious than trailing around after two strangers as they went house-hunting in Hertfordshire. But for some reason, television is more compelling than real life.
‐‐ Craig Brown
In real life, of course, it is the hare that wins. Every time. Look around you.
‐‐ Anita Brookner
In real life, one of my friends was killed in a car accident during our sophomore year.
‐‐ Beverley Mitchell
In real life, people are constantly saying one thing and doing another, but if you write your characters that way, the story becomes too hard to follow.
‐‐ Jessica Cutler
In real life, people are integrated into society. That's what happens in my books as well. Minor characters don't just walk in and spout lines, they interact and have an effect on the events. It's not an isolated universe.
‐‐ Stieg Larsson
In real life, people don't try to live dramatically, people try to live in a light way. People try to laugh.
‐‐ Ginnifer Goodwin
In real life, people fumble their words. They repeat themselves and stare blankly off into space and don't listen properly to what other people are saying. I find that kind of speech fascinating but screenwriters never write dialogue like that because it doesn't look good on the page.
‐‐ Christopher Guest
In real life, that's how we're moving around. We look at things while we're walking and moving and turning around. We stare at objects in the world.
‐‐ Brendan Iribe
In real life, the most important decision you ever make is, where does reality leave off and make-believe begin? If you make a mistake about that, you're dead. You know, you're out on the street corner. You think there's no bus coming. You step out, you're dead.
‐‐ Teller
In real life, the most practical advice for leaders is not to treat pawns like pawns, nor princes like princes, but all persons like persons.
‐‐ James MacGregor Burns
In real life there are indeed black people who have been in the middle class for generations, but in entertainment it's as if they don't exist.
‐‐ Stephen Carter
In real life, there are names that surprise us because they don't seem to suit the person at all.
‐‐ Krzysztof Kieslowski
In real life, unlike in Shakespeare, the sweetness of the rose depends upon the name it bears. Things are not only what they are. They are, in very important respects, what they seem to be.
‐‐ Hubert H. Humphrey
In real life, we do things out of character, constantly. A couple of days ago, my shoes were hurting, so I walked barefoot through New York. Someone who has known me my whole life would think that was so out of character. But I did it because of the circumstances.
‐‐ Allison Williams
In real life we don't know what's going to happen next. So how can you be that way on a stage? Being alive to the possibility of not knowing exactly how everything is going to happen next - if you can find places to have that happen onstage, it can resonate with an experience of living.
‐‐ Sam Shepard
In real life, wolves will do anything to avoid contact with mankind.
‐‐ Liam Neeson
In real life, women don't enjoy being degraded and treated like objects/receptacles.
‐‐ Jackson Katz
In real life you are doomed if you believe in youth and money, but not here in Hollywood. Nothing is what it seems.
‐‐ Amanda Eliasch
In real life, you don't know what's going to happen to you, so why would your character know? It's liberating to play the emotion your character is feeling at the time and not know what's coming up. I like it.
‐‐ Erin Richards
In real life, you just work for the ordinary self, but in the front of audience you become the superself. That's a completely different thing.
‐‐ Marina Abramovic
In real love you want the other person's good. In romantic love you want the other person.
‐‐ Margaret Anderson
In real open source, you have the right to control your own destiny.
‐‐ Linus Torvalds
In real terms, there is a greater disparity of earnings between the very rich and the very poor.
‐‐ Ferdinand Mount
In reality, a cell is a biological mini-me compared to the human body. A cell has every biological system that you have.
‐‐ Bruce Lipton
