It's not really possible to open 'The Casual Vacancy' without a lot of expectations both high and low crashing around in your brain and distorting your vision. There's no point pretending they're not there.
‐‐ Lev Grossman
It's not really that I didn't want to perform at all. What I didn't want to do was try to put together a band, rehearse, on my own. You know what I mean?
‐‐ Jan Hammer
It's not really that I'm interested in filmmaking. I'm interested in the instrument of it, you know.
‐‐ K'naan
It's not really that I've been an advocate for hearing aids for a long time, it's just that I've been losing my hearing for a long time! So it's actually very important for me because I'm actually hearing impaired and I simply want to hear better!
‐‐ Leslie Nielsen
It's not really the job of a public servant to inspire, but to get the job that the people demand done. The Democrats think that if they have hope and are inspired, things will get better, but they actually won't.
‐‐ Roseanne Barr
It's not really the life of cooking that's hard - it's what you make of it and what level you push yourself to.
‐‐ Grant Achatz
It's not reasonable for companies that have chief executives and board members who are paid very considerable sums to subsidise low pay through in-work benefits.
‐‐ Boris Johnson
It's not refreshing where there is confusion or any kind of discomfort in a group that has to work that closely together.
‐‐ Kate Mulgrew
It's not right to believe that the only way you're gonna get a job and the only way you're gonna get a man or be happy is by being so skinny.
‐‐ Maria Conchita Alonso
It's not right to say that our loss in Vietnam turned out to be a gain. But lessons were learned. And they were the right lessons.
‐‐ Tom Clancy
It's not right to think about all of Jewish-German history as shrouded by the smoke of the crematorium.
‐‐ Simon Schama
It's not rocket science. It's social science.
‐‐ Clement Mok
It's not rocket science to make a movie.
‐‐ Katie Aselton
It's not rubbish to say that I was a bit peeved about not getting credit for a couple of songs, but that wasn't the whole reason. I guess I just felt like I had enough. I decided to leave and start a group with Jack Bruce.
‐‐ Mick Taylor
It's not scary to make a horror film because you get to pull back the curtain and see that none of it's real. When you're watching one, the terror bombards you.
‐‐ Josh Hartnett
It's not secret that usually I don't have a filter.
‐‐ Marcus Luttrell
It's not selling out, necessarily, to do something to gain some kind of notoriety that gives you the cache to do be able to go and do something else that you want. There's some dues that you just have to pay in life.
‐‐ Ato Essandoh
It's not simply that British films do well at the box office and generate revenue, it's that they provide a window to the world of what Britain and its culture is about.
‐‐ Gurinder Chadha
It's not so bad that I can't touch my toes. But I'm not one of the most flexible guys. When you look at Novak Djokovic, you'd probably think he's made of rubber.
‐‐ Tomas Berdych
It's not so easy for us when we play teams who have a different mindset, like Chelsea or Inter Milan, because they have the intention of trying to stop us rather than playing a game that is more attractive for the spectators to enjoy.
‐‐ Lionel Messi
It's not so easy to forgive.
‐‐ Carice van Houten
It's not so important who starts the game but who finishes it.
‐‐ John Wooden
It's not so much about killing an animal, it's being at peace and you don't have to worry about all the other things that go on. That's a couple of hours a week that you get to escape but it's nice to do that.
‐‐ Brett Favre
It's not so much about what you ask as what you don't ask.
‐‐ Michael Parkinson
It's not so much I like to go win, but it's a rush. A horrible gut wrenching thing, but it's exciting.
‐‐ Corbin Bernsen
It's not so much knowing when to speak, when to pause.
‐‐ Jack Benny
It's not so much religion per se, it's false certainty that worries me, and religion just has more than its fair share of false certainty or dogmatism. I'm really concerned when I see people pretending to know things they clearly cannot know.
‐‐ Sam Harris
It's not so much that I'd like to play a raunchy character, but I would like to play someone my own age. I'm always playing down, but I guess it's good because it means I've got a longer life in my acting career.
‐‐ Julia Sawalha
It's not so much that I don't like traveling, it's just that I love being home. I love being able to spend time with my friends.
‐‐ Andy Roddick
It's not so much that I ever declared: 'I will never have children.' I just never found the right man to settle down with, so it didn't happen.
‐‐ Kiki Dee
It's not so much that I got that idea at some point, it came up naturally because of the improvisational nature of the story I was telling.
‐‐ Chester Brown
It's not so much that I want to direct but that I have to. When I write something it terrifies me that if I give it to someone else and it doesn't turn out as it could have done, I'd feel as if I'd orphaned my baby.
‐‐ Peter Mullan
It's not so much the dressing up, but I love the idea of moving and existing in a different time.
‐‐ Francesca Annis
It's not so much what do I want to be doing in 15 years, it's how I want to be in 15 years.
‐‐ Ali MacGraw
It's not so much what you learn about Mumbai, it's what you learn about yourself, really. It's a funny old hippie thing, but it's true as well. You find out a lot about yourself and your tolerance, and about your inclusiveness.
‐‐ Danny Boyle
It's not so unusual to run out of someone else's currency.
‐‐ Jeffrey Sachs
It's not so weird that four generations are living together under the same roof and trying to make it work. It's how a lot of people in this country are living right now.
‐‐ Martha Plimpton
It's not some big event that creates the drama, it's the little things of everyday life that bring about that drama.
‐‐ Asghar Farhadi
It's not some great work of beauty and love to be a rock-and-roll singer.
‐‐ Robert Plant
It's not someone else's responsibility to honor my marriage. It's my responsibility.
‐‐ David Duchovny
It's not something that's at the forefront of my mind, but I think I'd regret it if I didn't have children.
‐‐ Brendan Coyle
It's not something to complain about, but just the major difference between college and the pros is that in college you're guaranteed four to five years so long as you don't do anything criminally and in the pros you're guaranteed one day because you can be cut the next.
‐‐ Robert Griffin III
It's not sometimes realistic to think that something magical can happen, but I think I look for the magic.
‐‐ Sherilyn Fenn
It's not subtle or restrained. It's not any of the things you like to think apply to your acting.
‐‐ Margaret Hamilton
It's not superstition, but I do everything exactly the same on game days. I'm a creature of habit. I eat the same breakfast, and then I drive the same way to practice. Then I come back and eat the same exact same lunch before every game.
‐‐ Kris Humphries
It's not supposed to be easy, if it's easy, it's no good, that's the way I look at it.
‐‐ Craig Charles
It's not surprising so many people end up with credit-card debts. Saving for your retirement and buying a house are difficult things, and we don't educate people about them at all.
‐‐ Niall Ferguson
It's not surprising, then, they get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren't like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations.
‐‐ Barack Obama
It's not surprising to me that in a country born of racial genocide, the issue of race is still an open wound on the American soul. We haven't dealt with it.
‐‐ Michael Moore
