People say I've had a difficult time in life. I think I've had an exciting time in life.
‐‐ Iyanla Vanzant
People say I've had brushes with the law. That's not true. I've had brushes with overzealous prosecutors.
‐‐ Edwin Edwards

‐‐ Michael Caine
People say 'I want to be rich'. The question is, 'Are you willing to do what it takes?'
‐‐ Robert Kiyosaki
People say if bees die out, the world would end, apparently. Now, I don't know if that's true, if that's some bee enthusiast who managed to write a good document, and people believe this.
‐‐ Karl Pilkington
People say, 'If you don't vote, then you don't have a right to say anything. But nine times outta 10, I pay more taxes than they do - so even if I don't vote, I still have the right to speak out.
‐‐ Lupe Fiasco
People say, 'If you open a movie online at the same time as in movie theatres, no one is going to go to the movies.' That's just not true. People love to go out and have a shared experience; they always will.
‐‐ Kevin Spacey
People say if you're doing an art project, that's different from a book, but I honestly don't see it. I try and try, and I just don't.
‐‐ Douglas Coupland
People say, 'Is broadcasting the same as coaching?' I say, 'Hell, no.' Coaching, you win and lose. Broadcasting, you don't win and lose. Coaching was a lot bigger than broadcasting.
‐‐ John Madden
People say it gets better but it doesn't. It just gets different, that's all.
‐‐ Maggie Smith
People say it is part of the game. You win some, you lose some. But not for me.
‐‐ Ruud van Nistelrooy
People say it's a movie about boxing, but... I don't agree at all. I don't think it's a movie about boxing. Boxing is like a platform. It's just a stage where this is played out.
‐‐ Morgan Freeman
People say it's cathartic to write a book, but it turned out to be quite painful!
‐‐ Pattie Boyd
People say it's not ambitious, but it is actually quite ambitious wanting to help people.
‐‐ Prince William

‐‐ Isaac Mizrahi
People say jargon is a bad thing, but it's really a shortcut vocabulary professionals use to understand one another.
‐‐ Erin McKean
People say, 'Jay, you're a great guy, you just had a couple of bad nights.' People that have themselves under control don't have a couple of bad nights like that. Plain and simple.
‐‐ Jayson Williams
People say, 'Just say who you're dating. Then people will stop being so ravenous about it.' It's like, No they won't! They'll ask for specifics.
‐‐ Kristen Stewart

People say, like, 'Are you a regular person?' 'Well, I'm not a robot, if that's what you're asking, I really am a person.'
‐‐ Abigail Breslin
People say Malala's voice is being sold to the world. But I see it as Malala's voice reaching the world and resonating globally. You should think about what is behind Malala's voice. What is she saying? I am only talking about education, women's rights, and peace.
‐‐ Malala Yousafzai
People say maybe we have a soul and chimpanzees don't. I feel that it's quite possible that if we have souls, chimpanzees have souls as well.
‐‐ Jane Goodall
People say: 'Models are so young, they're so skinny.' But Mr. Balenciaga used models at 16, and that will never change. People say they are skinny, but there is a difference between skinny and sick. If someone is sick, they're sick. It's not because of fashion. If I have flu, I have flu; it's not because I work in fashion.
‐‐ Domenico Dolce
People say money ain't nothing; money is basically everything.
‐‐ Meek Mill
People say my music is English. I don't know what it is. Maybe it's not me writing English music, but that English music is becoming more like me.
‐‐ Harrison Birtwistle
People say New Yorkers can't get along. Not true. I saw two New Yorkers, complete strangers, sharing a cab. One guy took the tires and the radio; the other guy took the engine.
‐‐ David Letterman
People say: 'Oh, but would you be happy for your show to go on BBC3 if it was just online?' If I was sat here telling you I had just signed a huge deal with Netflix you'd be going: 'Wow, that's amazing.' You can't see it as 'Oh, it's no longer a channel because it's not on TV.'
‐‐ James Corden
People say, 'Oh, God, how devastating to go through a divorce.' Did I wish for this to happen to my family? No. But everyone is healthy; we're moving on with our lives.
‐‐ Heidi Klum
People say, oh it's a shame, you're not nostalgic about the '60s. Well actually, it's quite good, when you think of it. Wouldn't it be sad if I was sitting here wishing it back?
‐‐ Robert Wyatt
People say: 'Oh, it's only acting,' but it's not ever just acting. At least not with me.
‐‐ Rhys Ifans
People say, 'Oh, politics is so polarized today,' and I'm thinking... '1861, that was polarized.'
‐‐ P. J. O'Rourke
People say, 'Oh, to be the daughter of Picasso!' But it's not as extravagant as it seems. He was very special, very vibrant, but he was my father. I didn't have another.
‐‐ Paloma Picasso
People say, 'Oh, you're famous now, so you must go to L.A.' - I don't live in L.A. now - but it's like, why wouldn't you? The weather is amazing, the film industry's there, it's a great quality of life.
‐‐ Nick Frost
People say, 'Oh you're so good, and you're so young!' It's like, 'No. I'm good. Period!'
‐‐ Zara Larsson
People say satire is dead. It's not dead; it's alive and living in the White House.
‐‐ Robin Williams
People say sometimes, gosh, that was brave of you to write such-and-such last week. 'Brave?' What do they mean 'brave?' It's right! How could you not write it?
‐‐ Carl Hiaasen
People say, 'Surely there's the right reasons for going to war?' And my perspective is, 'Surely there's a better way of asking that question?'
‐‐ Russell Crowe
People say that about me, that I apparently buy houses near every boy I like - that's a thing that I apparently do. If I like you I will apparently buy up the real-estate market just to freak you out so you leave me.
‐‐ Taylor Swift
People say that globalisation has negative aspects, but I don't believe globalisation is bad. It's criticised from a western perspective, but if you put yourself in the shoes of people in the developing world, it provides an unprecedented opportunity.
‐‐ Tadashi Yanai
People say that having three orchestras is a crazy life, but it's better because you have three families. I want to have my own kids very soon. In future, I still want to conduct a lot, but less, to be with my family.
‐‐ Gustavo Dudamel
People say that human rights is a Western construct foisted on others. But that's not true. Equality, dignity, respect and justice are as much an integral part of the Islamic tradition.
‐‐ Cherie Blair
People say that I am always serious and depressing, but it seems to me that the English are never serious - they are flippant, complacent, ineffable, but never serious, which is sometimes maddening.
‐‐ Anita Brookner
People say that I could sing the phone book and make it sound good.
‐‐ Edith Piaf

‐‐ Chinua Achebe
People say that if you're still angry at 52, you're not an angry young man, just a grumpy old git.
‐‐ Paul Weller
People say that if you talk too much about sex, you take away the mystery. I say, if you're somebody who likes to talk, talk all you want - it's not listening. You will never take away the mystery.
