There's something that goes on in a new-business meeting that's wonderful to watch. It's like showtime. There are people who are nervous, and there are people who are jittery, and there's so much drama and so much at stake.
‐‐ Jerry Della Femina
There's something that happens in that delivery room, when a woman becomes ten times more a woman, and a guy becomes six times less a man. You feel really dopey and useless and like a spectator. I did, anyway.
‐‐ Paul Reiser
There's something that happens with the collection of a large amount of data when it's dumped into an Excel spreadsheet or put into a pie chart. You run the risk of completely missing what it's about.
‐‐ Aaron Koblin
There's something that people misunderstand about screen quotas. It's not about rejecting or hating other countries' films, but about protecting our domestic film industry.
‐‐ Min-sik Choi
There's something that really frightens me - and that's fear.
‐‐ Elaine Stritch
There's something that's really fun about the challenge of making the mundane funny, too, I think.
‐‐ Jim Gaffigan
There's something that's sexy about a guy who has the strength to kill somebody, but is also vulnerable enough to be in love. It's just those two sides - like, I don't know why, but women for some reason aren't attracted to normal guys, like, guys who are in between.
‐‐ Evan Peters
There's something that's very human about 'Warriorv that brings you out. You're watching the movie and, yeah, there's fighting - there's a tournament at the end of the movie - but it takes a long time to get to know these people.
‐‐ Tom Hardy
There's something that sort of weirds me out about actors who want to be rock stars, and the other way around too.
‐‐ Gwyneth Paltrow
There's something to be learned by listening and absorbing and watching before you start telling the people who have been there how to rearrange chairs.
‐‐ Anne Northup
There's something to be said about a girl who knows what she wants. One of my favorite girls to dress is Diane Kruger. It's always so easy with her. I know her body and what works. When it's right, it's not a lot of effort.
‐‐ Jason Wu
There's something to be said about sitting in front of the TV and being removed from your own life and just pushed into another one.
‐‐ Crystal Reed
There's something to be said for a disregard of fashion, but it has to be a carefully curated disregard. It works best, I think, on someone under 18. After the age of, say, 40, you can end up looking like a bag lady.
‐‐ Leon Max
There's something to be said for an author who clearly respects a reader.
‐‐ Jami Attenberg
There's something to be said for CEOs' entering politics: In theory, they have management expertise and financial savvy. Then again, it didn't work so well with Dick Cheney.
‐‐ Nicholas Kristof
There's something to be said for embracing who you are.
‐‐ Jeff Probst
There's something to be said for failing. It's not the failure you feel, it's the failure that people project when something disappoints. You're back to ground zero, where there's no expectations, and that's where I like to be.
‐‐ Kevin Smith
There's something to be said for giving and helping to change people's lives.
‐‐ Steven A. Cohen
There's something to be said for going right into people's living rooms. I think actors have always loved that medium - you're right in there with people in their homes. A lot of very audacious work is being done on television.
‐‐ Sigourney Weaver
There's something to be said for writing in the morning. At other points in the day, you're a bit more defensive.
‐‐ Alex Turner
There's something to be said in favor of working in isolation in the real world.
‐‐ A. R. Ammons
There's something to play if there's conflict going on. Whatever that conflict is, that's where drama is; if the character is grappling with something you've got something to play, there's layers to it.
‐‐ Clive Owen
There's something undeniably oxymoronic about a 'successful' rock n' roll band. Who wants to hear a bunch of success stories whining about their success? More importantly, what can be the drive behind a band, what can they have to rage against when they are successes? That's a dichotomy every successful band wrestles with.
‐‐ Dexter Holland
There's something unique about the United States, a sense of individual rights and freedoms, and a sense of social and civic responsibility that we contributed to so much of the world. We lost that mission in the 1980s and 1990s, when we entered a gilded age, and the culture of individualism became a culture of avarice.
‐‐ George Hickenlooper
There's something uniquely aggravating about the smugness of liberal Hollywood.
‐‐ Matt Stone
There's something uniquely exhilarating about puzzling together the truth at the hands of an unreliable narrator.
‐‐ Maria Semple
There's something uniquely interesting about Buddhism and mathematics, particularly about quantum physics, and where they meet. That has fascinated us for a long time.
‐‐ Lilly Wachowski
There's something universal about illness... Whether you like it, at some level all patients are saying, 'Daddy, Mommy, help me, tell me it's going to be alright.'
‐‐ Abraham Verghese
There's something unsettling about the education of a child who comfortably enumerates the rules for surviving zombie apocalypse but finds it uncomfortable to enumerate the rules of his grandparents' faith, if he knows them.
‐‐ Amity Shlaes
There's something very addictive about people pleasing. It's a thought pattern and a habit that feels really, really good until it becomes desperate.
‐‐ Anne Hathaway
There's something very authentic about humor, when you think about it. Anybody can pretend to be serious. But you can't pretend to be funny.
‐‐ Billy Collins
There's something very beautiful and compelling about someone who has ambition and someone who knows what they want, but it can get a little frustrating at times, so I understand that. I have sympathy for that.
‐‐ Michael Ealy
There's something very cool about that indie spirit that I try to hang on to even now with the bigger films that I'm working on.
‐‐ James Wan
There's something very dreamlike about film, and I will always be very fascinated by that, and I'm always tempted to go in that direction.
‐‐ David Chase
There's something very fine and lucid and rich in this tradition of the English actor.
‐‐ Roger Rees
There's something very important about films about black women and girls being made by black women. It's a reflection as opposed to an interpretation.
‐‐ Ava DuVernay
There's something very misleading about the literary culture that looks at writers in their 30s and calls them 'budding' or 'promising', when in fact they're peaking.
‐‐ Kazuo Ishiguro
There's something very Nixonian about the idea of keeping an enemy's list.
‐‐ Nancy Gibbs
There's something very particular about the kind of rage you feel when you're alone in a practice room by yourself, unable to master a simple thing like a rudiment.
‐‐ Damien Chazelle
There's something very powerful about going after what you want seriously.
‐‐ Nolan Sotillo
There's something very real about helping someone one-on-one.
‐‐ Matt Mullenweg
There's something very reassuring... about the written record.
‐‐ John Updike
There's something very romantic about self-destruction and sabotaging your life, and taking a hammer to it.
‐‐ Gerard Way
There's something very satisfying about creating a tactile product.
‐‐ Chad Hurley
There's something very scary about exposing yourself on camera, knowing that you're going to be put on thousands of screens around the world for everyone to judge, but there's also something very thrilling and exciting about it.
‐‐ Eli Roth
There's something very soothing about the simplicity of doing what's right in front of you: paying the rent, buying groceries, and when there's a little extra for a treat like cinnamon rolls, whoopee! When you live paycheck to paycheck, you only have so much to lose.
‐‐ Ali Liebegott
There's something very special about seeing history so clearly in front of you through that architecture that you just don't get in the U.S. If I was asked to choose where I'd most like to live, I would always choose London.
‐‐ Charlie Cox
There's something very... spiritual about fighting. It's physically very challenging. It's for killing people, after all, so it's taught me how to look at something head on. It's like living - confronting something. Everything for me came from films.
‐‐ Rinko Kikuchi
There's something very strange about associating me with that prize. I had hoped for it in a more directed way as a journalist. Somehow as a journalist you know there are Pulitzers out there and you can work hard and get one. To win it for Fiction seems unbelievable.
‐‐ Jennifer Egan
There's something very strange about Sherlock Holmes, especially if you're an English schoolboy. When you read the stories, they stay with you forever.
‐‐ Anthony Horowitz
