Unless you become more watchful in your states and check the spirit of monopoly and thirst for exclusive privileges you will in the end find that... the control over your dearest interests has passed into the hands of these corporations.

Unless you burst into movies as a sex goddess, you're likely to play wives and mothers. I came into movies as a teenager in 'They Shoot Horses, Don't They' (1969) playing a pregnant waif from the Ozarks. I didn't get a chance to burst into movies in 'Body Heat.' My career isn't based on having a 23-inch waist and a big bust, though I do.

Unless you can fake sincerity, you'll get nowhere in this business.
‐‐ Roger Stone

‐‐ Oprah Winfrey
Unless you consider yourself some sort of human brand, which I don't, you have to deal with the fact that different people are going to like different aspects of your work. It's not consistent. I am not consistent. But I feel OK with that.
‐‐ Zadie Smith
Unless you go forward then you are going back.
‐‐ Greg Lake
Unless you go out and say what you stand for, other people will do it for you.
‐‐ David R. Ellis
Unless you have a long-running series, most actors just go job to job if you're lucky to keep working. You just do a movie or a play or a TV thing, and it's over at some point.
‐‐ Gary Sinise
Unless you have a perception of who you are as a lawyer, you will never be at ease in dealing with legal matters, clients, or courts. But if you know who you are and why you're there, all you need is the expertise and the information.
‐‐ Samuel Dash
Unless you have a real passion for making movies, then don't bother. I had to carry energy and light into every meeting, only to be told, 'We don't want you.' I couldn't take it personally. You just have to wait, and live for those moments when the casting director likes you.
‐‐ Laura Harring
Unless you have a sense of values that's shared by people and turns them loose to do certain things on their own within those sets of values, the organization, whether a nation or corporation or citizen group, just doesn't work very well.

‐‐ Georgette Mosbacher
Unless you have kids, you actually have no idea what kids are watching on TV these days.
‐‐ Henry Selick
Unless you have made a complete surrender and are doing his will it will avail you nothing if you've reformed a thousand times and have your name on fifty church records.
‐‐ Billy Sunday
Unless you have prepared yourself to profit by your chance, the opportunity will only make you ridiculous. A great occasion is valuable to you just in proportion as you have educated yourself to make use of it.
‐‐ Orison Swett Marden
Unless you hit your television with a sledgehammer, you're not going to be able to be an individual.
‐‐ Justin Theroux
Unless you know a lot more about something than I do, I am not really that interested. I have too much information already.
‐‐ Tucker Carlson
Unless you look like Brad Pitt, it's really hard to have full control of your character.

Unless you love someone, nothing else makes any sense.
‐‐ E. E. Cummings
Unless you paddle for the wave, you'll never know if you could catch it. But once you do... Ride it as long as you can. Love as long as you can.
‐‐ Abigail Spencer
Unless you're a big movie star, regular television work is going to bring you more exposure than anything. Everybody has a television; not everybody goes to the movies.
‐‐ G. W. Bailey
Unless you're a salesman, or a bad guest on a talk show, you don't call someone by his name that often.
‐‐ Patricia Marx
Unless you're a serial killer, you're worried about being liked by somebody.
‐‐ Kristin Bauer van Straten
Unless you're a star in this town, you're really nothing.
‐‐ Robin Wright
Unless you're a vegan freak of nature like Tony Gonzalez, I don't think you can play sports much past your early 30s.
‐‐ Jeff Ament
Unless you're being carted off, you should be on the field.
‐‐ Colin Kaepernick
Unless you're born here, I don't know if you can ever become a full New Yorker.
‐‐ Trevor Moore
Unless you're doing a feature piece, which is going to be longer, and you have more time to get into stuff.
‐‐ Kurt Loder
Unless you're doing Shakespeare or Chekhov... the written word is not sacrosanct.
‐‐ Alan Arkin
Unless you're flat out dead, you have to think of some other questions like: what's on the other side? It brings up issues of God, or no God. How does he play into this? Or he, or she, or it? How does it all play into this?
‐‐ Michael Keaton
Unless you're Gisele, you wake up some days and feel ugly. When that happens, I accept that I'm not perfect and it's OK; I can start over again tomorrow.
‐‐ Kaley Cuoco
Unless you're involved with thinking about what you're doing, you end up doing the same thing over and over, and that becomes tedious and, in the end, defeating.
‐‐ Sol LeWitt
Unless you're Jack Lemmon or Cary Grant, there are few guys who can do comedy and drama.
‐‐ Steve Guttenberg
Unless you're living on the street and surviving on a diet of discarded turkey drumsticks, there's no point in being gloomy. We've spent too long trying to cheer ourselves up by spending money on brightly coloured things we don't really need. We've stopped using our imaginations.
‐‐ Jarvis Cocker
Unless you're playing a historical figure, a writer or director can change their minds. And sometimes your job is to make them change their minds - to make them believe that you're the one that can do it.
‐‐ Timothy Simons
Unless you're really interested in sleaze, you should not buy 'Newsweek.'
‐‐ Liz Trotta
Unless you're singing something that's kind of in rhythm with the bass, the melodies, it's just difficult.
‐‐ Kim Gordon
Unless you're the director on the movie, or putting up the money for the movie, you really don't have a lot of control.
‐‐ Bret Easton Ellis
Unless you're trying to make a movie on the sly, there's no way to get around this. If you want to use public spaces, film on the streets, have the cooperation of the police, you have to have a permit.
‐‐ Asghar Farhadi
Unless you're very boring, I think most people who've lived long enough have something in their past which will never go away.
‐‐ John Boyne
Unless you're willing to have a go, fail miserably, and have another go, success won't happen.
‐‐ Phillip Adams
Unless you sell millions, I think it's very hard as a writer not to feel anxious about what you put out. I always feel I could do better.
‐‐ Jojo Moyes
Unless you sit down and talk to your dad and say, 'Why weren't you there?' and he says, 'I'm going to really tell you the truth,' then you won't know.
‐‐ Dwyane Wade
Unless you try to do something beyond what you have already mastered, you will never grow.
‐‐ Ralph Waldo Emerson
Unless you use the vocoder the way Daft Punk use it, it is very limited. When they sing it's almost human. It sounds sexy. I just used it as an effect. It wasn't because I was not able to sing; I'm not a great singer, but I had some hits as a singer, too. It's a nice effect.
‐‐ Giorgio Moroder
Unless you've been touched personally, it's difficult to see, but there are millions of people who have no voice whatsoever.
‐‐ Roger Daltrey
Unless you work for '60 Minutes', your life is: You do stories about things, and nothing happens as a result.
