There are plenty of bad actors and there are plenty of bad directors. There are actors who will always be bad and there are good actors who you cry for because they're being badly directed or the material isn't good enough.
‐‐ Mike Leigh
There are plenty of bad editors who try to impose their own vision on a book.
‐‐ Terri Windling
There are plenty of bands who never get in the charts and it doesn't mean that they're not any good. Actually, a lot of the top ten is filled with stuff that just sounds the same. I could guess what's in there now - probably a bit of GaGa, Beyonce and some U.S. R&B males.
‐‐ Ellie Goulding
There are plenty of beautiful girls who don't photograph well.
‐‐ Lauren Hutton
There are plenty of books that tell you how to become a writer, but not one that suggests how, if you want a normal life, you might reverse the process.
‐‐ Hilary Mantel
There are plenty of brilliant people who are too stressed out to read challenging literary novels.
‐‐ John Burdett
There are plenty of characters I'd love to write. Swamp Thing, Etrigan the Demon, Man-Thing, Howard the Duck, Dr. Strange, Dr. Druid, Ghost Rider, the Micronauts, the Shogun Warriors... the list goes on and on.
‐‐ Cullen Bunn
There are plenty of clever young writers. But there is too much genius, not enough talent.
‐‐ J. B. Priestley
There are plenty of dead scientists I admire, but I can't think of any living ones. This is probably because it is only in retrospect that one can see who made the important contributions.
‐‐ Stephen Hawking
There are plenty of difficult obstacles in your path. Don't allow yourself to become one of them.
‐‐ Ralph Marston
There are plenty of easy things that you can do from the comfort of your own home to get you started on the path of giving back.
‐‐ Jenna Morasca
There are plenty of examples of people who have had busy lives out there in the world, trying to do good, and written very well at the same time.
‐‐ Andrew Motion
There are plenty of examples of really well-executed shows you could look at and say, 'Well, clearly this show will have an audience; why wouldn't it?' And for whatever reason, it just doesn't catch on. So you never know going in.
‐‐ Timothy Hutton
There are plenty of genre-crossover books, films, and games out there, but to do the job well, you have to do more than just smoosh a couple of 'in' concepts together, and hey presto, instant millions.
‐‐ Jay Kristoff
There are plenty of good five cent cigars in the country. The trouble is they cost a quarter.
‐‐ Franklin Pierce Adams
There are plenty of good Indian writers in English, and none of us feel we are carrying the burden of being a poster boy.
‐‐ Vikram Seth
There are plenty of guys who played great golf, had great careers and only won a few majors.
‐‐ Johnny Miller
There are plenty of Latina actresses that no one's ever heard of... Some are really brown, some are light-skinned, and some look like they're Caucasian, but it's like we only want to identify with a certain kind of look and celebrate that under the guise that this is a 'Latina actress.'
‐‐ Sara Ramirez
There are plenty of lesbians in Hollywood, but they're not out. And that's their choice, but I can't do that, it's too important to me.
‐‐ Jill Bennett
There are plenty of millionaires who would pay millions to hang a Van Gogh painting on the wall, but hardly one that would have ever had the crazy nut over for dinner. I feel like the big companies are like that with musicians. They'll say, 'We love music! It's all about the music!' - but if a musician shows up at the door, they call security.
‐‐ Derek Sivers
There are plenty of miserable millionaires all over the place.
‐‐ Peter Mayle
There are plenty of models who have children.
‐‐ Arizona Muse
There are plenty of mothers who should not be allowed to raise their children.
‐‐ Bernadine Dohrn
There are plenty of Muslims who live faithfully in the United States.
‐‐ Monica Crowley
There are plenty of opportunities for common grounds that we need to explore and strengthen. The Hispanic community has a strong affinity for our relationship with Israel.
‐‐ Bob Menendez
There are plenty of people in the world who have tried to be rock stars and have not gotten there.
‐‐ Ben Barnes
There are plenty of people out there talking about how difficult it is for some of us to just deal with all the stuff we already have, from packed closets that need organizers to storage spaces to maintenance costs, etc. Lots of people are reevaluating whether or not they need giant garages full of stuff and finding that they don't.
‐‐ Alex Steffen
There are plenty of people smarter than you by a long way. I just got lucky.
‐‐ Gerry Harvey
There are plenty of people who are, I think, completely racist who love hip-hop.
‐‐ David Byrne
There are plenty of people who are willing to pay $2.6 million for 30 seconds on the Super Bowl and hundreds of thousands of dollars for 'American Idol.' There will be advertising dollars on the Internet. We're there as well. We win either way.
‐‐ Leslie Moonves
There are plenty of problems in the world, and doubtless climate change - or whatever the currently voguish phrase for it all is - certainly is one of them. But it's low on my list.
‐‐ P. J. O'Rourke
There are plenty of problems in the world, many of them interconnected. But there is no problem which compares with this central, universal problem of saving the human race from extinction.
‐‐ John Foster Dulles
There are plenty of reasons not to put up with the world as it is.
‐‐ Jose Saramago
There are plenty of recommendations on how to get out of trouble cheaply and fast. Most of them come down to this: Deny your responsibility.
‐‐ Lyndon B. Johnson
There are plenty of ruined buildings in the world but no ruined stones.
‐‐ Hugh MacDiarmid
There are plenty of secondary characters that I had always hoped to write, but I don't know if it will ever happen. The way contracts work, if you leave one publishing house for another, the characters tend to stay with the previous publishing house.
‐‐ Lori Foster
There are plenty of skills I've learned from playing video games. It's more interactive than watching TV, because there are problems to solve as you're using your brain.
‐‐ Shaun White
There are plenty of smart people who get nowhere.
‐‐ Paul Graham
There are plenty of studies that have shown that depression is associated with decreased immunity. So I want to harness all of the positive emotional energy I can in a patient to get better.
‐‐ Allan Hamilton
There are plenty of things I wish I'd known when I decided to quit my position at IBM and work on the idea that later became TaskRabbit. Maybe that's why one of the things I cherish most about being a founder and CEO is the opportunity to offer advice to new entrepreneurs.
‐‐ Leah Busque
There are plenty of things you can do to help animals! The best advice that I can give right off the bat is not to get overwhelmed and feel bad when you read about all the issues.
‐‐ Jenna Morasca
There are plenty of writers, past and present, from Shakespeare to Henry James to Lydia Davis, who test the limits of coherence and put pressure on current notions of accessible (and acceptable) narrative methods. To thrive and change and grow, any art needs this kind of pressure.
‐‐ Joanna Scott
There are plenty of writers who are going to become a director after their next job, but no one will believe you're a director unless you believe it.
‐‐ Brian Helgeland
There are pockets of great food in Spain, but there are also pockets of very mediocre food in Spain, and the same in Morocco and the same in Croatia and the same in Germany and the same in Austria.
‐‐ Mario Batali
There are points in your life, especially if you have creative ambitions, where selfishness is necessary.
‐‐ Kris Kristofferson
There are politicians who seethe with ambition all the time, and there are a lot of other politicians who don't. I'm in the second category, that's all.
‐‐ Neil Kinnock
There are pop managers, and then there's Simon Cowell, who isn't gay, Jewish or particularly riveting. He's not without interest but he doesn't exactly have the hinterland of, say, Brian Epstein.
‐‐ Peter York
There are popular celebrities, there are unpopular celebrities and then there are the walking dead. You know the walking dead when you see them: they look like Mel Gibson, still striving for drunken charm in an L.A. County mug shot, after getting picked up on a DWI charge that included anti-semitic slurs directed at the police.
‐‐ Jeffrey Kluger
There are portions of Malibu that are very remote; it's like living in the country somewhere.
‐‐ James Brolin
