Normally, you cast a pilot, and you have to make compromises about being political about who you cast.
‐‐ Jill Soloway
Normally, you go into the recording studio, make a record and then take it on the road and you think... wow... I could have done THIS to it, or something.
‐‐ Brian Setzer
Normally, you have to wait for the costume department to help you out of costume.
‐‐ Sophie McShera
Normally you hear about Southeast London, and you hear about all the stuff that goes on down there, all the negative things, and the tabloids kind of stay away from all the positive things that happen that I see every day, which kind of outshines the negative.
‐‐ John Boyega
Normally you read a screenplay - and I read a lot of them - and the characters don't feel like people. They feel like plot devices or cliches or stereotypes.
‐‐ Joseph Gordon-Levitt
Normally, you should be dead if you have a retrospective.
‐‐ Daphne Guinness
Normally, young writers have all the time in the world and they don't always use it well.

North America can easily fragment quickly as did the Eastern Bloc in 1989.
‐‐ Douglas Coupland
North America was ready for something other than a vanilla cooking show and we were providing the double dark chocolate fudge.
‐‐ Nadia Giosia
North American leftists just keep trying to relive the '60s, or to make the '60s happen again.
‐‐ Dave Sim
North Americans as a whole need to embrace having clothes altered to their body. I hear it all the time: why do the Europeans always look so good? They have a relationship with their tailor and spend the time and money to make their clothes look their best.
‐‐ Michael Kors
North Americans don't understand... that our country is not just Cuba; our country is also humanity.
‐‐ Fidel Castro
North and South were equally confident that God was on their side, and appealed incessantly to Him.
‐‐ Rebecca Harding Davis
North Carolina has been so great because nobody asks me about work.
‐‐ Andie MacDowell
North Carolina is home to some of the largest financial institutions in the country, and a vibrant network of community banks. We're a banking state, and we're proud of that distinction. But we also understand that responsible financial regulation protects consumers and businesses.
‐‐ Kay Hagan
North Carolina is not going to be left behind.
‐‐ Terry Sanford
North Carolina is strong because our people are strong. They define our state - by their hard work, commitment to their families and neighbors, their willingness to sacrifice so that their children can have a chance to forge their own path.
‐‐ Kay Hagan
North Carolina needs to revamp the tax code completely. We have some of the highest tax rates, like the corporate tax rate, in the country.
‐‐ David Rouzer
North Carolina, particularly the 8th District, has long played a key role in our Nation's military forces.
‐‐ Robin Hayes
North Carolina's approach in crafting its law ensured the creation of the best possible law and, consequently, North Carolina is now the acknowledged leader in addressing predatory lending.
‐‐ Mel Watt
North Carolina was where you could have Thanksgiving and feel like it was Thanksgiving.
‐‐ David H. Murdock
North Dakota State. What do you have to do there to graduate? Milk a cow with your left hand?
‐‐ Bobby Heenan
North Eurasia is one of the best examples of religious tolerance and peaceful coexistence of Islam and Christianity. This is a rare thing in today's world, even in its most liberal parts.
‐‐ Nursultan Nazarbayev
North Hollywood isn't actually Hollywood, it's in the San Fernando Valley... it's not the most glamorous part of L.A.
‐‐ Elizabeth McGovern
North Korea aside, most authoritarian governments have already accepted the growth of the Internet culture as inevitable; they have little choice but to find ways to shape it in accord with their own narratives - or risk having their narratives shaped by others.
‐‐ Evgeny Morozov
North Korea faded to black in the early 1990s. With the collapse of the Soviet Union, which had propped up its old Communist ally with cheap fuel oil, North Korea's creakily inefficient economy collapsed. Power stations rusted into ruin.
‐‐ Barbara Demick
North Korea has taught a great lesson to all the countries in the world, especially the rogue countries of dictatorships or whatever: if you don't want to be invaded by America, get some nuclear weapons.
‐‐ Michael Moore
North Korea is going to get away with keeping its nuclear weapons.
‐‐ John Bolton
North Korea is like China was 30-plus years ago. Through our contact, we are certain they will become more open and more liberated.
‐‐ Lu Guanqiu
North Korea is not an insane nation. It is not a crazy nation.
‐‐ Richard Armitage
North Korea is not an undeveloped country; it is a country that has fallen out of the developed world.
‐‐ Barbara Demick
North Korea is probably the only country in the world deliberately kept out of the Internet.
‐‐ Barbara Demick
North Korea not only wants unification, it absolutely has to have unification. That's really the only way this state can feel secure.
‐‐ Brian Reynolds Myers
North Korea's whole idea is to create a crisis to solve a crisis. They're so poor and they're so desperate that they realize that this bombastic rhetoric can drive the South Korean stock market down and get the U.S. in a tizzy. And it's a game they've been playing for many, many years.
‐‐ Barbara Demick
North Korea, under its thirtysomething Supreme Leader, Kim Jong-un, is no country for old men. The latest casualty in Kim's ongoing purge of the senior military command was the defense minister, Hyon Yong-chol, who reportedly committed the classic old man's offense of falling asleep in a meeting.
‐‐ Barbara Demick
Northeastern and most coastal states will vote for the candidate who is more closely aligned with international cooperation and engagement, secularism and science, gun control, individual freedom in culture and sexuality, and a greater role for the government in protecting the environment and ensuring economic equality.
‐‐ Steven Pinker
'Northern Exposure.' I loved that show; I loved the way it was able to have episodes where somebody finds a woolly mammoth, he calls the museum in New York, they send a guy out, and the mammoth's gone because someone ate it. To me, that was everything I ever wanted to do. That show mixed emotion, humor and the surreal all at once.
‐‐ Edward Kitsis
Northern Iraq has become, economically, a natural extension of Turkey.
‐‐ Ali Babacan
Northern Ireland has treated me well, you know?
‐‐ James Nesbitt
Northern Ireland still suffers from its past, and it will take generations to escape sectarianism and for violence to end totally. Nonetheless, it is in a different place now than during the Troubles, and it will not go back to the old days.
‐‐ Jonathan Powell
Northern Sweden holds a special kind of magic. It's cold, lonely, and the people are tough and silent, or so the stereotype says. This is Asa Larsson's home turf and I find as much joy in reading her closely observed descriptions of the environment, as in following her intriguing plots.
‐‐ Camilla Lackberg
Northern Uganda presents a situation of extraordinary violation of the rights of children.
‐‐ Carol Bellamy
Northern white people love the Negro in a sort of abstract way, as a race; through a sense of justice, charity, and philanthropy, they will liberally assist in his elevation.
‐‐ James Weldon Johnson
Northwest Ohio is flat. There isn't much up. The land is so flat that a child from Toledo is under the impression that the direction hills go is down. Sledding is done down from street level into creek beds and road cuts.
‐‐ P. J. O'Rourke
Northwestern's alumni list is truly impressive. This university has graduated best-selling authors, Olympians, presidential candidates, Grammy winners, Peabody winners, Emmy winners, and that's just me!
‐‐ Stephen Colbert
Norway is a small country, about half the size of Sweden, but it has a very good film climate because they have municipal cinemas, so even in the smallest towns you have a cinema that shows art house films from all over the world.
‐‐ Stellan Skarsgard
Norway or Switzerland are two marvelous countries, I very much admire, the most advanced countries in the world in fact with great qualities of life.
‐‐ Jose Manuel Barroso
Norway was occupied by the Germans in the Second World War, and I've met a lot of people who had to live through that occupation in varying degrees.
