'The Bank Job,' for me, was a great opportunity for me to do some good acting, you know?
‐‐ Jason Statham
'The Bank Job' was great fun to work on. Roger Donaldson is a top director, and working on HD was a new experience. It picks up every detail, which is a blessing and a curse if you think about it.
‐‐ Colin Salmon
The bank told us we ought to sell this house to pay off our overdraft. Riders saved the day. I was so pleased when it got to number one, I went all around the fields crying and crying.
‐‐ Jilly Cooper
The banked oval tracks are obsolete tracks for Indy cars.
‐‐ Mario Andretti
The banking collapse was caused, more than anything, by bad government policy and the total failure of bad regulation, rather than by greed.
‐‐ Nigel Farage
The banks are not lending, at least from what I see. They were so wild and reckless back in the good times that they got burned terribly.
‐‐ Ben Stein
The banks have accounts with the Fed, much the same way that you have an account in a commercial bank.
‐‐ Ben Bernanke
The banner of the project is 'Casa de Colores.' Under that banner, I'm going to invite people to do a lot of good things. Perhaps working in groups, working on poetry.

The Bar Association can do so much in teaching people how to resolve conflicts without knives and guns and fists.
‐‐ Janet Reno
The bar is set pretty low if you want to be a hip, accessible conservative.
‐‐ P. J. O'Rourke
The bar is so low in rap - mediocrity is king!
‐‐ Jay Electronica
The Bar Room has a corner table placed strategically at a point diagonally across from the entrance. the table of tables in the setting of settings in the building of buildings. In the religion of lunch, this is the holy of holies.
‐‐ Raymond Sokolov
The bar to get entry into the labour force is rising faster than people expected, and the ability to stay there is falling.
‐‐ Sebastian Thrun
The bar was very high-we had to really make sure that we got what we really wanted, that it was a real finished album. We weren't going to give up until we got that.

The bare recollection of anger kindles anger.
‐‐ Publilius Syrus
The Barefoot College is supposed to be a sparking off process. People are adopting it and owning it, which is really the story behind the college.

The Barenboim Foundation has nothing to do with politics.

The bargain that yields mutual satisfaction is the only one that is apt to be repeated.

The baritone can serve functions that the alto and tenor cannot, in orchestral voicing.
‐‐ Gerry Mulligan
The Barks of Trees are best gathered in the Spring, if it be of great Trees, as Oaks or the like, because then they come easiest off, and so you may dry them if you please, but indeed your best way is to gather all Barks only for present use.
‐‐ Nicholas Culpeper
The barn doors are open, and the horses are running out because we've got guns all over the place. It's basically a cold war for individuals: you've got a nuclear bomb, and I've got a nuclear bomb, and the only thing stopping us from using them is the fact we both have them.
‐‐ Jeff Bridges
The 'Barnaby' books were always intended to be graphic novels.
‐‐ Janet Evanovich
The barometer for judging the character of people, in regard human rights, is now those who consider themselves gay, homosexual, lesbian. The judgment as to whether you can trust the future, the social advancement - depending on people - will be judged on where they come out on that question.
‐‐ Bayard Rustin
The barrier to entry, to being a model, is not hard work. You don't need a degree. You don't need to win an award. It's just about how you look.
‐‐ Cameron Russell
The barriers are not erected which can say to aspiring talents and industry, 'Thus far and no farther.'
‐‐ Ludwig van Beethoven
The base emotions Plato banned have left a radio-active and not radiant land.
‐‐ Libby Houston
The base of the party, the middle-aged white working class, has suffered at least as much as any demographic group because of globalization, low-wage immigrant labor, and free trade. Trump sensed the rage that flared from this pain and made it the fuel of his campaign.
‐‐ George Packer
The base paths belonged to me, the runner. The rules gave me the right. I always went into a bag full speed, feet first. I had sharp spikes on my shoes. If the baseman stood where he had no business to be and got hurt, that was his fault.
‐‐ Ty Cobb
The baseball establishment is permissive about revelry.
‐‐ Curt Flood
The baseball fights, you don't ever see the squaring off like you do in hockey, and in some instances, that's where baseball fights can be potentially more dangerous because you've got guys running all over the place and people throwing punches at you that you don't even see half the time.
‐‐ Tom Glavine
The baseball held was my fantasy of what life offered.
‐‐ Lou Brock
The bashful are always aggressive at heart.
‐‐ Charles Horton Cooley
The basic answer is that I wasn't happy or fulfilled by the job I had and I wanted my life to mean something to me, so I searched my life experience and realized that acting and performing were activities that I enjoyed all aspects of.
‐‐ Gil Gerard
The basic assumption of the secular society is that modernity overcomes religion.
‐‐ Ulrich Beck
The basic Buddhist stand on the question of equality between the genders is age-old. At the highest tantric levels, at the highest esoteric level, you must respect women: every woman.
‐‐ Dalai Lama
The basic challenge of any book is you know you're going to be working on it for three or four years or more. So you want to have a subject that will keep you engaged.
‐‐ Bill Bryson
The basic discovery about any people is the discovery of the relationship between men and women.
‐‐ Pearl S. Buck
The basic dream of many Colombians is to have a secure nation, without exclusions, with equity, and without hatred.
‐‐ Alvaro Uribe
The basic drive behind real philosophy is curiosity about the world, not interest in the writings of philosophers.
‐‐ Bryan Magee
The basic equation that mystified me as a young man was looking at guys who could actually get girls. I was always amazed, because they never seemed to care. I was like, 'How do they do that?'
‐‐ Andy Richter
The basic essential of a great actor is that he loves himself in acting.
‐‐ Jessamyn West
The basic fact about human existence is not that it is a tragedy, but that it is a bore. It is not so much a war as an endless standing in line.
‐‐ H. L. Mencken
The basic fault lines today are not between people with different beliefs but between people who hold these beliefs with an element of uncertainty and people who hold these beliefs with a pretense of certitude.
‐‐ Peter L. Berger
The basic function of a comic is stand-up because it's so straightforward and simple. If the audience don't laugh, you didn't do your job. I've had some audiences where I didn't care if they laughed or not because they were either too drunk or stupid.
‐‐ Marcus Brigstocke
The basic guarantees of our Constitution are warrants for the here and now, and unless there is an overwhelmingly compelling reason, they are to be promptly fulfilled.
‐‐ Arthur Goldberg
The basic idea behind a paper trail is that you take one of these electronic systems and you augment it with a printer that prints out people's vote as they vote.
‐‐ Avi Rubin
The basic idea in case-based, or CBR, is that the program has stored problems and solutions. Then, when a new problem comes up, the program tries to find a similar problem in its database by finding analogous aspects between the problems.
‐‐ Marvin Minsky
The basic idea of a hyper instrument is where the technology is built right into the instrument so that the instrument knows how it's being played - literally what the expression is, what the meaning is, what the direction of the music is.
