It may sound funny, but I love the South. I don't choose to live anywhere else. There's land here, where a man can raise cattle, and I'm going to do it some day.
‐‐ Medgar Evers
It may sound funny, but it's true: I tried to put myself through the 12-step program. I didn't want to attend a real meeting; my role didn't really require that, and I feel those meetings are sort of sacred, and they're anonymous for a reason. I tried to deal with some of my love of snacks - and I relapsed a lot.
‐‐ Octavia Spencer
It may sound lame, but I've been journaling since I was in third grade. I love it! It makes me feel calm and happy.
‐‐ Brittany Snow
It may sound surprising, but a joke and a crime novel work in very much the same way. The comedian/writer leads their audience along the garden path. The audience know what's coming, or at least they think they do until they get hit from a direction they were not expecting.
‐‐ Mark Billingham
It may sound terrible, but I often say that the military saved me from a conventional life in the United States and I've never really thanked them for it, because I haven't exactly been pro-military in my work.
‐‐ Robert Jay Lifton
It may sound too good to be true, but once you've seen the happiest people in your life who have nothing, you really start rethinking what the world, and society, tells us that we need to be happy.
‐‐ Blake Mycoskie
It may sound very strange, but I love the freedom that writing a novel gives me. It is an unhindered experience. If I come after a bad day, I can decide that my protagonist will die on page 100 of my novel in a 350-page story.
‐‐ Ashwin Sanghi
It may surprise people to know that I advocate the reform of the United Nations, not its abolishment.
‐‐ Jesse Helms
It may take a village to raise a child, but not every villager needs to be a mom or dad. Some of us just need to be who we are.
‐‐ Meghan Daum
It may take hundreds of pages before you begin to get a handle on the craft of writing, and your first scripts may not work. The next five to twenty may not either. However, the ones that do work owe everything to the ones that didn't.
‐‐ Geoffrey S. Fletcher
It may take me a long time before I feel 'ready' to tour as a lead singer. I may never be ready... we'll just have to see.
‐‐ Stone Gossard
It may take practice to think more positively and more compassionately, but just as you must train a puppy to behave the way you want it to, you must train your mind to behave itself. Otherwise, like the puppy, your mind will just make a lot of messes.
‐‐ Tom Barrett
It may take time to prove you're right, but you have to stick to it.
‐‐ Fred Korematsu
It may take you months or even a few years to build up an adequate emergency savings fund. That's okay.
‐‐ Suze Orman
It may well be, of course, that America's pop culture is on balance better than our high art. I don't think so, but you can certainly make a case that the best of it aspires to a degree of aesthetic and emotional seriousness that is directly comparable to all but the very greatest works of high art.
‐‐ Terry Teachout
It may well be our brains are wired up to be slightly more optimistic than they should be.
‐‐ Vilayanur S. Ramachandran
It may well be said that the answer to the question: Of what do the cosmic rays in fact consist before they produce their familiar secondary radiation phenomena in the earth's atmosphere? can only be obtained from numerous measurements in the stratosphere.
‐‐ Victor Francis Hess
It means a lot in my business and its a wonderful feeling to be recognized for what you have done over a lifetime, but I didn't go crazy. I still eat my cereal in the morning, have a sandwich in the afternoon, go to bed at night. You know, nothing really different.
‐‐ Regis Philbin
It means a lot to be back in New York. Particularly since one of the last senior event scheduled in the States was supposed to be here in New York. We were supposed to play in Central Park right after 9-11 and when 9-11 happened obviously things changed.
‐‐ John McEnroe
It means a lot to defend my title.
‐‐ Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce
It means a lot to everyone around me that I look good, and I don't think it should have to. I just think I should look the way I do.
‐‐ Tove Lo
It means a lot to me, the sanctity of marriage.
‐‐ Darlene Love
It means a lot to you, to be out there. The highs are pretty high, and the lows are pretty low. You know, it's easy to feel like you let the team down. I mean, at the end of the day we still got to figure out a way to get through the tie.
‐‐ Andre Agassi
It means I wake up to sunshine every morning, and I can afford to drink better wine at night. But I haven't completely sold out to Hollywood.
‐‐ Ashley Jensen
It means nothing if the movie doesn't get out there.
‐‐ Kim Novak
It means, people who are in high and responsible positions, if they go against righteousness, righteousness itself will get transformed into a destroyer.
‐‐ A. P. J. Abdul Kalam
It means so much being a part of country music and the Opry.
‐‐ Martina McBride
It means so much to be European champion again with a personal best and I couldn't have asked for anything more.
‐‐ Tom Daley
It means that if they misunderstood Comfort and Joy, they misunderstood my other films.
‐‐ Bill Forsyth
It means that, in fact, it's - whether fascist is the right word I don't know - more of a plutocracy than anything resembling a democracy; it has become a nation controlled by a very small, very wealthy elite.
‐‐ Peter Singer
It means that no matter what you write, be it a biography, an autobiography, a detective novel, or a conversation on the street, it all becomes fiction as soon as you write it down.
‐‐ Guillermo Cabrera Infante
It means that Tao doesn't force or interfere with things, but lets them work in their own way, to produce results naturally. Then whatever needs to be done is done.
‐‐ Benjamin Hoff
It means that the men who hold the means of life control our lives, and, because we workingmen have tried to get some measure of justice, some measure of betterment, they deny the right of the human being to associate with his fellow.
‐‐ James Larkin
It means that the silver coins of the United States at whatever ratio is fixed, and I want the present ratio that we have now, 16 to 1, maintained precisely as it is.
‐‐ Richard Parks Bland
It means that through knowledge have come responsibility and hope, and through both, action.
‐‐ Edward Livingston
It means the world to me to represent the Hispanic community.
‐‐ Mark Sanchez
It means to educate myself incessantly about the world around me.
‐‐ June Jordan
It means working harder to do the research but I don't really mind - I don't think I have what it takes to chase criminals through back alleys and wade through blood at crime scenes.
‐‐ Jeffery Deaver
It means zero to be against greed.
‐‐ Ben Stein
It meant a lot because it was my first time to compete as a senior at that meet, which was kind of weird because I've done senior all year, but I didn't get to compete last year because of my elbow.
‐‐ Carly Patterson
It meant as much to me as winning the Oscar.
‐‐ Judy Holliday
It meant so much to me as a kid to see professional theater and hear Shakespeare's words.
‐‐ David Denman
It meant something to see people who looked like me in comic books. It was this beautiful place that I felt pop culture should look like.
‐‐ Ta-Nehisi Coates
It Might As Well Be Spring... I used to sing that as a young girl in my voice lessons. Then I picked it up again and it spoke to me in a whole new way.
‐‐ Bernadette Peters
It might be a bad thing, not to know what's going on in the world. I can't say I really approve of it.
‐‐ Sharon Olds
It might be a huge hit, it might not; but you learn something doing it.
‐‐ Kenneth Edmonds
It might be a very human thing across the board, but we, in America, love a story - we need a story to get involved in. But then everything becomes more about how the story protects a certain perception as we pick sides.
‐‐ Brad Pitt
It might be argued that genuine spontaneity is not really possible or desirable so long as printed scores of great works exist. All modern musicians are, for better or worse, prisoners of Gutenberg.
‐‐ Donal Henahan
It might be arrogant to think that we're the only living creations in all of the solar systems that there are. Space is so vast.
‐‐ Jeri Ryan
It might be asked, 'How much time shall I allow myself for rest?' The answer is that no rule of universal application can be given, as all persons do not require the same measure of sleep, and also the same persons, at different times, according to the strength or weakness of their body, may require more or less.
