Making an album should be an honest experience. It shouldn't be about trying to gauge where popular music is today; it should be about artistic expression and putting down what you want to put down.

Making an effort is polite, and getting ready and looking after yourself makes an event more fun.
‐‐ Jude Law
Making an Irishness to be proud of in a real Republic. It is the vision of a real Republic where life and language, where ideals and experience have the ring of authenticity which we need now as we go forward.

Making art, good art, is always a struggle. It can make you happy when you pull it off. There's no better feeling. It's beauteous. But it's always about hard work and inspiration and sweat and good ideas.
‐‐ Damien Hirst
Making art has never been a mystery to me. It's never been something that's very difficult.

‐‐ Antony Gormley
Making 'Beloved' was an awesome experience.
‐‐ Kimberly Elise
Making better choices takes work. There is a daily give and take, but it is worth the effort.
‐‐ Tom Rath
Making 'Birdsong,' on the one hand you have how prestigious it is and the reputation of the book, which is something that's an extraordinary piece of work. Sebastian Faulkes is a genius. So you feel that responsibility when you're portraying that character that he's imagined and millions of readers have pictured.
‐‐ Eddie Redmayne
Making books is a very specific kind of activity. It's not really a collection of your best pictures - although it is - but it's also a way of presenting your work so that it's not repetitive, so that it flows, and so that it makes sense in a book.
‐‐ Elliott Erwitt
Making books is hard work. Some books are, of course, more demanding than others.
‐‐ David Macaulay

‐‐ David Perlmutter
Making checklists of things you're looking for in a person is the numero uno thing you can do to guarantee you'll be alone forever.
‐‐ Joseph Gordon-Levitt
Making children cry for a photographer can be considered mean. But I would say that making children laugh and show off their jeans for an apparel ad is just as exploitative and less natural. Toddlers' natural state, like, 30 percent of the time, is crying, and it doesn't indicate pain or suffering.
‐‐ Jill Greenberg
Making choices that improve things for all of us on the planet is an act of compassion, a simple act we can do any time we go shopping.

Making clever speeches takes a lot of work and a lot of time.

‐‐ Gerry Harvey
Making distinctions is part of learning. So is making mistakes.
‐‐ Nancy Gibbs
Making duplicate copies and computer printouts of things no one wanted even one of in the first place is giving America a new sense of purpose.
‐‐ Andy Rooney
Making economic policy isn't a popularity contest, especially when financial markets are in a panic.
‐‐ David Ignatius
Making every record is a process full of tough times.
‐‐ Ezra Koenig
Making eye contact with adults while dressed as a clown is risky.
‐‐ Douglas Coupland
Making fake biography, false history, concocting a half-imaginary existence out of the actual drama of my life is my life.
‐‐ Philip Roth
Making 'Fargo' for FX has been the highlight of my career. A writer can search his or her whole career for a network partner who truly understands and encourages their vision. For me, the search is over.
‐‐ Noah Hawley
Making films can be absolutely fantastic, but it can also be incredibly dull. You spend the whole day sitting by yourself in your trailer and then you get called to deliver one sentence - then you're told to come back and do it again at 5:30 the following morning.
‐‐ Kristin Scott Thomas
Making films has been kind of my way of getting closer to God.
‐‐ Corbin Bernsen
Making films has got to be one of the hardest endeavors known to humankind.
‐‐ Spike Lee
Making films has never just been a job to me; it is my life. I have some interests outside of acting - I sing and I've written books, for instance - but acting is what keeps me going: it's what I do; it gives life purpose.
‐‐ Christopher Lee
Making films is about having absolute and foolish confidence; the challenge for all of us is to have the heart of a poet and the skin of an elephant.
‐‐ Mira Nair
Making films is great. You've got 100 people around and you're all dressing up and making weird art-it's a fun group activity.
‐‐ Sean Lennon
Making films is hard. Awesome, but hard.
‐‐ Colin Cunningham
Making films is my hobby. It relaxes me; it is my life, and it's one of the best jobs in the world. I go to work and solve problems, fight robots, kill aliens, and kiss beautiful women. I'm a very lucky man.
‐‐ Sam Worthington
Making films is no longer a way of acting, it is a way of life.
‐‐ Jeanne Moreau
Making films is sort of like you're pulling off a magic trick. It's sort of like an illusion. It's not real but you want it to appear real, and all kinds of things go into that, from the clothes you're wearing to the make-up, to the light.
‐‐ Jeff Bridges
Making food is a wonderful way to spend a Friday night.
‐‐ Chrissy Teigen

‐‐ P. J. O'Rourke
Making fun of guys to get them to perform and prove themselves, that's always going to exist. But we have to equally celebrate them and empower them.
‐‐ Michael Gurian
Making good decisions is a crucial skill at every level.
‐‐ Peter Drucker
Making government more efficient and more effective need not be a partisan issue.
‐‐ Martin O'Malley
Making improvements to our background check system and cracking down on illegal gun trafficking are common-sense ways to prevent violence without punishing law abiding gun owners. We owe it to the American people to take real action to reduce gun violence in our communities.
‐‐ Martin Heinrich
Making it big in this world is such a rip-off, you gotta keep your head together or it can be totally without meaning.
