People think of Jews as the Woody Allen stereotype, the nebbishy kind of thing, but that's not the kind of Jews I know. I know plenty of Israelis and plenty of tough guys that are Jewish. So, I think it makes sense that Jews play metal.
‐‐ Scott Ian
People think of Latina women as being fiery and fierce, which is usually true. But I think the quality that so many Latinas possess is strength. I'm very proud to have Latin blood.
‐‐ Zoe Saldana
People think of me as a mannequin, all show and no substance.
‐‐ Brooke Shields
People think of me as a nice person because, I think, I have grown into a nice person.
‐‐ John Darnielle
People think of me as a privileged young girl born to wear a chiffon party dress. I was born into a big acting family, and although I absolutely adore them, it's taken me time to work out how or where I feel comfortable.
‐‐ Emilia Fox
People think of me as a stereotype: muse, privileged, decorative. Classically, the muses were the inspiration. They'd come and go - they wouldn't actually make things, get their hands dirty. I don't think I'm a muse, although I think I can help pull a trigger. I really like getting my hands dirty.
‐‐ Amanda Harlech
People think of poetry as a school subject... Poetry is very frustrating to students because they don't have a taste for ambiguity, for one thing. That gives them a poetry hangover.
‐‐ Billy Collins
People think of science as rolling back the mystery of God. I look at science as slowly creeping toward the mystery of God.
‐‐ Allan Hamilton
People think of taxes as money just being robbed from you. They don't consider the benefits of paying taxes. The benefits that they get and also the benefit of just being a part of a large group of people: a town, or a city, or a country, or a society that allegedly should stand together and all try to help each other.
‐‐ Michael Schur
People think of the greatest home run hitters of all time and think of Babe Ruth; they don't think about that Warren Spahn hit more than anybody.
‐‐ Rollie Fingers
People think of the inventor as a screwball, but no one ever asks the inventor what he thinks of other people.
‐‐ Charles Kettering
People think of the military as being about guns and fighting wars, but it's really about service to country and community.
‐‐ Austin Stowell
People think of these eureka moments and my feeling is that they tend to be little things, a little realisation and then a little realisation built on that.
‐‐ Roger Penrose
People think of us as an information distributor because that's how they relate to the Internet. But most of the time people already have pretty well established opinions.
‐‐ Joan Blades
People think of waves as going in an orderly crash - whoosh - crash - whoosh, but in fact there are lots of different crashes and whooshes, all at different stages, and all going off at the same time.
‐‐ Craig Brown
People think of you differently if you've been in their homes. They think they own you because they watched you while they were eating dinner, or they can turn you up or down, or even freeze you.
‐‐ Maggie Smith
People think, 'Oh, I'm loving myself by sitting on this sofa for four hours.' Love yourself enough to get up!
‐‐ Alison Sweeney
People think, 'Oh, well how can 'The Hobbit,' which is one book, become three films?' But you can take one line from an appendice and it turns into a whole sequence.
‐‐ Andy Serkis
People think our music's very aggressive or angry or whatever, and it's just the opposite, really... I like laughing. And I like being really calm before a show, and smiley.
‐‐ Serj Tankian
People think 'Performance' blew my mind... my mind was blown long before that.
‐‐ James Fox
People think retiring is fun. Well, maybe, but if you have a certain kind of fire inside, there is no end in sight.
‐‐ Sylvester Stallone
People think SEALs are cold-blooded, heartless, wound-up, brainwashed killers. They imagine you can just point a SEAL in a direction and say, 'Go kill.' The truth is you're talking about a bunch of kind-hearted, jovial guys. The only thing that separates them is mental toughness.
‐‐ Howard E. Wasdin
People think, 'She's a model. She must have such an attitude. She must be so stuck up.' But I'm normal. I cry. I'm not rich. I drive a 1987 Chevrolet Celebrity.
‐‐ Summer Altice
People think skating would translate very easily to dancing, but it really doesn't. Dancing is a lot of fun and not as dangerous as being on the ice.
‐‐ Dorothy Hamill
People think sport is life and death - it's not.
‐‐ Bradley Wiggins
People think stars never have any problems or cares. That's bull. Why would we show any more than one mask to the public. There's a whole lotta things I've done that I don't want to think about. But I bring it all right out when I need it for a role.
‐‐ Vanity
People think that as a celebrity, you have to have this sort of mystique about you, but I'm probably the realest person you'll ever meet.
‐‐ Nick Cannon
People think that at the end of the day a man is the only answer. Actually, a fulfilling job is better for me.
‐‐ Princess Diana
People think that at the top there isn't much room. They tend to think of it as an Everest. My message is that there is tons of room at the top.
‐‐ Margaret Thatcher
People think that because a novel's invented, it isn't true. Exactly the reverse is the case. Biography and memoirs can never be wholly true, since they cannot include every conceivable circumstance of what happened. The novel can do that.
‐‐ Anthony Powell
People think that because I write about India I must be trying to portray India in a way.
‐‐ Anita Desai
People think that because of my act that I must have a really busy mind and I must be driven. I really am not. I quite like going outside and looking at spiders on a hedge in my garden and stuff.
‐‐ Tim Vine
People think that because of my nature and the tone of my voice that I'm stupid, and that's hard.
‐‐ Rebecca Ferguson
People think that because people do religious stuff, that's all we're supposed to do. But with God's help, everything that He wants me to accomplish, I'm going to do it. It's all about pacing.
‐‐ Andrae Crouch
People think that being on Star Trek is career suicide, but it's really just the opposite.
‐‐ Brent Spiner
People think that buying something for their home which is up-to-date is chic, but often it's a cliche. I call people who simply give clients the current 'thing' stylists not decorators.
‐‐ Nicholas Haslam
People think that by living on some mountainside in a tent and being frozen to death by freezing rain, they're somehow discovering reality, but of course that's just another fiction dreamed up by a TV producer.
‐‐ J. G. Ballard
People think that celebs make a lot more money than we do. We look for bargains and we do a lot of stuff on our own.
‐‐ Gabrielle Union
People think that Celera's trying to patent the whole human genome because it's been used as - I guess people in Washington learn how to do political attacks, and so it gets used as a political weapon, not as a factual one.
‐‐ Craig Venter
People think that child-support enforcement benefits children, but it doesn't.
‐‐ Phyllis Schlafly
People think that coaches are always right, but it's difficult to teach a runner how to run, because every runner is different. You have to have an understanding of how to assist what that runner has, so they know how to assist what you have without taking away your special ability, because you're not like anybody else.
‐‐ Jim Brown
People think that computer science is the art of geniuses but the actual reality is the opposite, just many people doing things that build on eachother, like a wall of mini stones.
‐‐ Donald Knuth
People think that Detroit is this barren wasteland. While there are parts that are not as nice as others, the misconception is not true. It is definitely not a thriving community in Detroit, but it is getting there. There is a lot of heart and love in this city.
‐‐ Steven Yeun
People think that direct address was invented by Ferris Bueller, but in fact, it wasn't. It was invented by Shakespeare.
‐‐ Kevin Spacey
People think that dreams are better than reality but this is not always the case; sometimes, because you dream too much, you are unable to see what you have in front of your very eyes.
‐‐ Antonio Munoz Molina
People think that everyone wears black in France; in fact they all wear grey.
‐‐ Jean Paul Gaultier
People think that human beings have gotten worse, that because of the pressures that modern society puts on us, we've gotten worse, and we've gotten capable of doing more terrible things. I don't know if I necessarily think that that's true.
‐‐ Thomas Gibson
People think that I can just walk into a room and get a job, but of the 200 interviews and auditions I go through a year, I may get three yeses. I just have to use my sense of humour to get me through.
‐‐ Oona Chaplin
People think that I changed my name. I could've been an actress, a superhero, or a stripper.
‐‐ January Jones
