Not that I'm in the stage of my career where they're offering me parts in 'The Revenant,' but I try very hard to go through the audition process because I feel like I learn quite a lot about the character and the people I'm going to work with.
‐‐ Dominic Sherwood
Not that I'm some rocker, but what I do in a show is probably far more aggressive than what Dean Martin or Bobby Darin ever did.
‐‐ Michael Buble
Not that I regret saying what I believed to be the truth, but I regret anything that I might have written or spoken that could have been used in a way to help to foster that atmosphere out of which came the loss of life of Brother Malcolm.
‐‐ Louis Farrakhan
Not that I've always loved the movie when they finally come out, or if they ever come out-because many of them don't come out-but I've gotten to work with really good story editors and stuff like that.
‐‐ John Sayles
Not that I want everything right now; but I do want everything.
‐‐ Nastassja Kinski
Not that I want the current president killed. I will, for the record and for the FBI agent assigned to read this and make sure I mean no harm, clearly state that while I am obsessed with death, I am against it.
‐‐ Sarah Vowell
Not that I want to put the entire rap music style down - I just don't like it. And I know somewhere there's gotta be another guy like that. There's gotta be a guy just like that - just like me. There's gotta be somebody, somewhere... Maybe, maybe an assassin type.
‐‐ Sam Kinison
Not that I went into the Olympics with any doubt, but my holiday plans afterwards depended on how well I did - bronze, silver or gold.
‐‐ Adam Peaty
Not that I wish by any means to deny, that the mental life of individuals and peoples is also in conformity with law, as is the object of philosophical, philological, historical, moral, and social sciences to establish.
‐‐ Hermann von Helmholtz
Not that I wouldn't have been equally happy to see the old buddies and see it all start up again that way. But this was more of a work situation, and a very good one.
‐‐ Andreas Katsulas
Not that it entirely matters: There is a perception that all actors make their movies. A lot of people assume you're responsible. George Clooney told me actors get all of the blame and all the credit.
‐‐ Ben Affleck
Not that it was Twiggy's fault, but the ubiquity of her image created a sense in young women that to be stylish meant to be skinny, flat-chested with an ingenue face and straight hair.
‐‐ Susie Orbach
Not that many people, even contemporary writers, write about right now.
‐‐ Anna Deavere Smith
Not that money is a driving force. It's an honor to play for your country.
‐‐ Payne Stewart
Not that painting would have been a release. The reason for doing it is the desire to create. I've got to do it! I've seen that, I can still remember it, I've got to paint it.
‐‐ Otto Dix
Not that pleading can be taken as a test, for the forms of action, notably Debt, ignore the fundamental difference between duties imposed by law and duties created by the will of the parties.
‐‐ Frederick Pollock
Not that the propositions of geometry are only approximately true, but that they remain absolutely true in regard to that Euclidean space which has been so long regarded as being the physical space of our experience.
‐‐ Arthur Cayley
Not that there is anything wrong with confessional songwriting, there are plenty of people that do that I admire. I think it is great, it just isn't how I do things.
‐‐ Zooey Deschanel
Not that there weren't great shows, and not that there wasn't plenty of fine music played. It's just that the consistency and the height of where we could take it, with the help of the audience, was less, I felt, in the '90s.
‐‐ Phil Lesh
Not that we didn't have close relationships with our parents - I'm very close to my mom - but parents didn't think anything of going off for a few weeks and leaving their kids.
‐‐ Candice Bergen
Not the first half you might have expected, even though the score might suggest that it was.
‐‐ John Motson
Not the power to remember, but its very opposite, the power to forget, is a necessary condition for our existence.
‐‐ Saint Basil
Not the spectacular things are the important things - the unspectacular things are the important things, especially in the future.
‐‐ Dieter Rams
Not the torturer will scare me, nor the body's final fall, nor the barrels of death's rifles, nor the shadows on the wall, nor the night when to the ground the last dim star of pain, is hurled but the blind indifference of a merciless, unfeeling world.
‐‐ Roger Waters
Not to be a Bible-thumper, but there really is nothing new under the sun.
‐‐ Meshell Ndegeocello
Not to be arrogant, but I have a lot of hits, so my phone stay ringing, but it's consistent.
‐‐ Rico Love
Not to be born is, past all prizing, best.
‐‐ Sophocles
Not to be boxed in, to be able to transcend boundaries: for an artist, it's essential.
‐‐ Shahzia Sikander
Not to be cheered by praise, not to be grieved by blame, but to know thoroughly ones own virtues or powers are the characteristics of an excellent man.
‐‐ Saskya Pandita
Not to be harsh, but why do we care so much about celebrity acceptance of Christian beliefs?
‐‐ Monica Johnson
Not to be loved is a misfortune, but it is an insult to be loved no longer.
‐‐ Charles de Secondat
Not to be mean about it, but some great rock and rollers, like Bo Diddley and Chuck Berry, are pretty one-dimensional.
‐‐ Ian Anderson
Not to be narcissistic, but I truly believe in order to make yourself better, you should see what you did before and what was good about that and what wasn't - same way a football team plays a game and then they go back and watch film.
‐‐ Jake Owen
Not to be purple, but I've never been a 'bad boy' kind of girl. I like manners.
‐‐ Toks Olagundoye
Not to be too detailed, but I've had an ectopic pregnancy, miscarriages and I've had fertility treatments. I've done all the stuff you can possibly do to try get pregnant.
‐‐ Nicole Kidman
Not to be too grandiose about it, but in a way I see myself like Sir Edmund Hillary. The water was my Everest.
‐‐ Lewis Gordon Pugh
Not to be too preachy, but I would really recommend to people, if you get the chance, to trust yourselves to leap without a net, because that will build the confidence. You know, you might shock yourself with how much you don't need a net because you can catch yourself.
‐‐ Ross Mathews
Not to be too 'Tale of Two Cities' about it, but I find writing a memoir easier than writing fiction, and more difficult.
‐‐ Darin Strauss
Not to be vain, but I have nice long legs, so I like to accentuate them. Find what part of your body you love most - it can be your arms, your chest, your legs - and emphasize that.
‐‐ Khloe Kardashian
Not to be weird, but I still have an ongoing relationship with my mom, even though she passed away, and I've been surprised at how much I've been able to convey to her. Now I sound like a total weirdo, but that's true.
‐‐ Mindy Kaling
Not to be weirdly glib, but as a reporter, you should be honest all the time.
‐‐ Sarah Koenig
Not to belittle what we do as actors, but my wife Helen is a teacher, and she makes a real difference to kids. So it's unusual to see people thinking of us as something special.
‐‐ Colin O'Donoghue
Not to compare an actor to a painter, but you can go through different phases and still be the same artist, y'know?
‐‐ Jennifer Jason Leigh
Not to decide is to decide.
‐‐ Harvey Cox
Not to discontinue our allegiance, in this case, would be to join with the sovereign in promoting the slavery and misery of that society, the welfare of which, we ourselves, as well as our sovereign, are indispensably obliged to secure and promote, as far as in us lies.
‐‐ Jonathan Mayhew
Not to dismiss Gershwin, but Gershwin is the chip; Ellington was the block.
‐‐ Joni Mitchell
Not to disparage anything, but most vampire stories tend to be romance novels that are 'Twilight'-ish with metrosexual guys.
‐‐ Mark Pellegrino
Not to engage in the pursuit of ideas is to live like ants instead of like men.
‐‐ Mortimer Adler
Not to expose your true feelings to an adult seems to be instinctive from the age of seven or eight onwards.
‐‐ George Orwell
