The fundamental weakness in the Tea Party machine is the stark difference between what the leaders of the Tea Party elite - plutocrats like the Koch Brothers -want and what the average grassroots Tea Party follower wants.
‐‐ Chuck Schumer
The fundamental work of investment management is filtering. The question is what do you filter.
‐‐ Donald Luskin
The fundamentalist religions simply seem to offer more hope for a brighter future than do the more liberal, humanistic ones.
‐‐ Martin Seligman
The fundamentalists are increasing. People, afraid to oppose those fundamentalists, shut their mouths. It is really very difficult to make people move against a sensitive issue like religion, which is the source of fundamentalism.
‐‐ Taslima Nasrin
The fundamentalists have taken the fun out of the mental.
‐‐ Ken Kesey
The fundamentals for me are character and conflict. I put character first because readers will be indifferent to conflict if they are indifferent to the character who is experiencing it.
‐‐ Lynn Coady
The fundamentals of baseball haven't changed, but how we can teach those fundamentals has. With an e-book, learning can be more rewarding and fun.
‐‐ Dusty Baker
The fundamentals of what journalism is about don't necessarily change. What will change is the delivery of news.
‐‐ Stephen Kinzer
The fundamentals that founded our great nation included the freedom of speech and religion.
‐‐ Markwayne Mullin
The funds from the sale were put into research and general teaching budgets at the university. Wharton Econometric Forecasting Associates, Inc., is now a growing enterprise with many model and other econometric facilities.
‐‐ Lawrence R. Klein
The funeral business is so manipulative emotionally. I would want to be thrown into the sea or burned - something that's not a big hassle.
‐‐ Bjork
The funkiest housing in Holland is for low-income, and I think that's very nice.
‐‐ Zaha Hadid
The funnier the material, the funnier I could make it.
‐‐ Ruth Buzzi
The funniest guy I've ever worked with - it's just one of those things, again, where we look at each other and just laugh - is Jimmy Byrnes from 'Wiseguy.' Jimmy - we can't be in the same room together. He knows he can make me laugh just by looking at me.
‐‐ Jonathan Banks
The funniest line in English is 'Get it?' When you say that, everyone chortles.
‐‐ Garrison Keillor
The funniest people I know were, not necessarily troubled, but had a harder time in school or were shy or picked on or something like that. I think that you rely on it. 'Well, I don't think I'm cute and no one wants to hang out with me - I'd better start trying to make people laugh.' I think there's an element of that in there.
‐‐ Kaitlin Olson
The funniest racism is the racism between minorities. It's something you don't see dramatized, but almost every minority I know who's my age, they have these funny stories about their parents stereotyping other minorities.
‐‐ Mindy Kaling
The funniest thing happened in one of my first scenes. In the beginning Emma was really arrogant and punk and in every scene she would slam the door when she walked in or out.
‐‐ Dannii Minogue
The funniest thing is I never understood why actors were so shady about who they're dating. Then I realized the things you say get printed and the people you're involved with read them. That's what's tricky. Nothing goes unnoticed. I don't want to get myself in trouble!
‐‐ Emily Meade
The funniest thing is not who influenced me positively, but who influenced me negatively. I had such an aversion to what Busby Berkeley did; in my early formative years, I thought it was terrible. Now, I think it's wonderful. But then, I wanted to do anything but what Busby Berkeley did.
‐‐ Stanley Donen
The funniest thing is that now I know what reverse spam is. You know you get spam from people saying, 'Can you invest in this or that?' People are now e-mailing me saying, 'Oh my God, can I invest in your company?' It's a reverse solicitation of money.
‐‐ Jefferson Han
The funniest things just come from honesty. We have a tendency to see female characters as representative of something larger than what they are, when male characters are just characters.
‐‐ Elizabeth Meriwether
The funny thing about advertising is that it's not a zero-sum game... Historically, in the digital ad world, pie has gotten larger and it's possible for everyone to win, and it's perfectly possible that will continue to be true for quite some time.
‐‐ Eric Schmidt
The funny thing about being creative is that, especially high school people, I kept noticing I'd always go to these certain materials. I'd always be picking up trash and picking up paper and using it.
‐‐ Mark Bradford
The funny thing about children is that, whichever room we're in, that's where they'll be. If I'm in the bath, they'll want to be in there too, playing with the toothbrush pot or brushing my hair.
‐‐ Keeley Hawes
The funny thing about commercials to me is that many of them now don't even mention the product until the very end. You don't really know what the commercial is all about. They're kind of like little movies, like shorts, and that's why I think they're so entertaining.
‐‐ Kevin Nealon
The funny thing about directing is that you have your own opinions, but it's a collaboration. Directing is a group effort. Even though you might think something works, the smartest thing you can do as a director is try and weigh the opinions of the people around you.
‐‐ Chris Evans
The funny thing about having all this so-called success is that behind it is a certain horrible emptiness.
‐‐ Sam Shepard
The funny thing about history is that we imagine that people didn't laugh in the old days, but of course they did, at stupid things.
‐‐ Terry Jones
The funny thing about insane people is that it is kind of the opposite of being a celebrity. Nobody envies you.
‐‐ Robert M. Pirsig
The funny thing about making this record and being away from the girls and on my own in LA is that it allowed me to reflect on how much we've accomplished.
‐‐ Melanie Chisholm
The funny thing about me is I'm kind of schizophrenic, because after four or five nights in a row of going out to parties, I just have to be alone. I hate people and feel like they're keeping me from what I really want to do, like write a fabulous novel, which I probably never will.
‐‐ Bob Colacello
The funny thing about me that most people never really understand is that, at heart, I'm really a jock.
‐‐ Billy Corgan
The funny thing about my films is that you can make little piles of them. You could make little piles of the movie that were family movies, you could make a little art movie pile, you could make a little action movie pile.
‐‐ Julianne Moore
The funny thing about television is that once you start to do it you never get time to watch it.
‐‐ Kevin Sorbo
The funny thing about voice over is you can go in in sweatpants and have your hair all messed up, and no one will see you, and you can still deliver the same great product.
‐‐ Elizabeth Gillies
The funny thing about war is that people feel you need to be morally outraged. I feel morally outraged about it, and I've been doing it for long enough to feel morally outraged, because I have been in massacre scenes in West Africa, and I've been doing this for a long time now.
‐‐ Tim Hetherington
The funny thing about writing is, although you are writing about an experience which only you have had, you are trying to welcome other people into it, and there are ways I think of doing this, and one of them is through the senses, through the sounds and the smells.
‐‐ Ronald Frame
The funny thing about writing is I think a lot of people assume that you're sitting in a garret with a quill pen for hour after hour.
‐‐ Lincoln Child
The funny thing in France is that writers are not allowed to retire, because the French government say you are still earning money from books you wrote 20 years ago.
‐‐ Peter Mayle
The funny thing is, all my friends are short. I wasn't aware of tall people till I got to high school. I didn't know they existed. I was sheltered.
‐‐ Kevin Hart
The funny thing is all these school shootings that we have, always happen in very religious communities. Maybe it's because the centre of their lives is a big fat nothing and it's just a fantasy and there's nothing there. I think maybe that might have something to do with it.
‐‐ Matthew Bright
The funny thing is, Dennis Miller got me back into comedy.
‐‐ Tommy Chong
The funny thing is, I don't actually think of myself as fat at all. I don't think I am. Not really.
‐‐ Jo Brand
The funny thing is, I look at these magazines that make me so insecure and neurotic, but I'm in them!
‐‐ Heather Graham
The funny thing is I'm actually really insecure. I have a lot of girl issues - 'I'm not pretty enough,' 'I'm not skinny enough' - but there is a confidence I have in what I can do. I did tend to overcompensate to cover up other insecurities that I have.
‐‐ Lindsay Pearce
The funny thing is I'm not bothered or sad about being on my own - after all I've never had a husband.
‐‐ Francesca Annis
The funny thing is I'm not even Latin. I was constantly getting Latin roles, and I was like, I even was nominated for an award, and I was like, 'Let them know at the NAACP, the first white woman. Let them know I'm totally grateful, but I'm not Latin. I can't do that. I play Latin.'
‐‐ Vanessa Ferlito
The funny thing is, I'm not really a big reader, not a big fan of books in the first place.
‐‐ Macaulay Culkin
The funny thing is, I'm so used to not caring what anyone says, good or bad, that unfortunately even when people say good things... I wish it made me feel good, but it doesn't.
‐‐ Rob Zombie
