When people move from one extreme set of views to embrace another equally batty picture of the world, they expect us to applaud their choice, as if the fact that they have rejected one form of nuttiness somehow validates the screwball views they hold now.

When people move from poor countries to America, they quickly adapt in at least one way - their consumption habits.
‐‐ Gary Bauer
When people need love and understanding and support the most is when they deserve it the least.
‐‐ Lou Holtz
When people pay to see you live, they connect with you on a much deeper level than people who just buy your records.
‐‐ Sandra Bernhard
When people pile seven things onto one burger, it drives me nuts!
‐‐ Bobby Flay
When people protest and are upset with a movie, it becomes a big hit. They hated Passion of The Christ, it worked out pretty well for the box office. So let's get that going.
‐‐ Denzel Washington
When people put that sort of pressure on you, you're worried that people won't want to receive you.
‐‐ Gavin DeGraw
When people read a novel 600 pages long, six months pass, and all they will remember are five pages. They don't remember the text - instead, they remember the sensations the text gives them.
‐‐ Orhan Pamuk
When people realize that they have been forgiven of everything, it becomes a little bit easier for them to forgive others.
‐‐ Jennifer O'Neill
When people really understand the Big Bang and the whole sweep of the evolution of the universe, it will be clear that humans are fairly insignificant.
‐‐ George Smoot
When people recognise me they just kind of go 'Hi how are you,' really kind of cool you know.
‐‐ Rachel Stevens
When people recognize your work and want to reward you for what you've done, that's a good feeling.
‐‐ Dane DeHaan
When people recommend to me a book for personal reasons, that's what makes it fun to read. It's like when people would make mixtapes and say, 'Here are the songs I think you should know.'
‐‐ Nell Zink
When people refer to 'Back in the Day,' it was a Wednesday. Just a little fun fact for you.
‐‐ Dane Cook
When people rely on surface appearances and false racial stereotypes, rather than in-depth knowledge of others at the level of the heart, mind and spirit, their ability to assess and understand people accurately is compromised.
‐‐ James A. Forbes
When people retire, their income drops much more sharply than their consumption. As a result, they stop saving and start drawing down the assets they've acquired during their high-saving years. That could start to put upward pressure on interest rates and downward pressure on stock prices.
‐‐ Greg Ip
When people said Africa would change me, I didn't understand what they meant. To see the poverty in the townships, for instance, is overwhelming. I found it heart-wrenching to see young children walking barefoot and hungry in the dirt. I'm the kind of person who wants to change the world right here and now, so I got frustrated.
‐‐ Jennifer Hudson
When people saw that the film was called 'White People,' many got very defensive. I've been getting some very interesting emails - and I'm used to hate mail, believe me. I think this idea that we grouped white people together is offensive to people.
‐‐ Jose Antonio Vargas
When people say all politicians are the same, ask yourself if Obama was the same as Bush, if Francois Hollande is the same as Sarkozy. They are not. They are human beings with different views and different visions for the world.
‐‐ Edi Rama
When people say 'American soccer,' they think of the U.S. national team. But American soccer also includes Major League Soccer, and until we have a league that produces players at the rate other leagues around the world do, I don't believe we'll ever get to where we want to be.
‐‐ Landon Donovan
When people say 'Charlie Chaplin' I still think now of the guy in the moustache and bowler hat and funny walk - I don't think of an old man who was my grandfather.
‐‐ Oona Chaplin
When people say crazy stuff about me or my family, I don't take it seriously.
‐‐ Chelsea Clinton
When people say England, they sometimes mean Great Britain, sometimes the United Kingdom, sometimes the British Isles, - but never England.
‐‐ George Mikes
When people say hello to me, I feel like maybe I know them from somewhere, because they say, like, 'Hi! How are you?' And I'm like, 'Oh, hi!' And then I realize, 'Oh, no, they just think they know me because they watched me in a movie.' Which is cool, but definitely not a normal thing.
‐‐ Dakota Fanning
When people say, 'Hey, wanna come to our house for dinner?' I say, 'Yeah, what should I bring?' They say, 'How about the dessert?' I just don't skimp on the dessert. I make it the yummy way it should be made, and then I just don't eat the whole pan.
‐‐ Summer Sanders
When people say, 'How did you start in comedy,' I say my family was kidnapped by ninjas when I was very young, and to get them released I had to do a killer five-minute set. And even after I did that, you know, I started doing comedy under tough circumstances, I still kept at it because I enjoyed it.
‐‐ Hannibal Buress
When people say, 'I don't see you enough,' well just because you don't see me don't mean I don't exist, or just 'cause you haven't heard me don't mean I haven't been making noise. But if I keep making noise, you'll pick up.
‐‐ Mos Def
When people say I have become a celebrity, I remind them of fame's flip side. For instance, if I want to watch a movie in a cinema, I have to enter through a side exit just before the film begins and leave by the same exit before the credits roll.
‐‐ Saina Nehwal
When people say I look intimidating, it's hard for me to relate to. I hear that a lot. I don't know why.
‐‐ Dita Von Teese
When people say, 'If I had my life over again I wouldn't do anything different,' well, I'd do everything differently just for the variety.
‐‐ Samuel West
When people say, 'If you could do anything else, what would you do?' I would be an actress. That's something that I would do - I can't see myself doing anything else.
‐‐ Imani Hakim
When people say Jerry Lee Lewis invented rock n' roll, they forget Little Richard. People talk about Elvis Presley and forget he was singing black music. I don't blame Elvis. It was the music business figuring it could make more money from this music if it weren't presented from the original source.
‐‐ Ato Essandoh
When people say 'let's do something about it', they mean 'let's get hold of the political machinery so that we can do something to somebody else.' And that somebody is invariably you.
‐‐ Frank Chodorov
When people say 'love to hate', they actually mean 'love to be appalled by' - if they truly hated them, they'd never repeat a catch phrase.
‐‐ Chris Morris
When people say 'Lysistrata' has always been seen as an anti-war play, what's interesting is to not make it an anti-war play, because I actually think there are important times to go to war in this world. That's just the reality. But what's interesting is the not caring.
‐‐ Douglas Carter Beane
When people say 'marriage' to me... It's always a means to an end. Everyone's so in a rush to define the relationship.
‐‐ Lady Gaga
When people say negative things or speculate, you can't help but feel hurt.
‐‐ Ann Curry
When people say, 'Nothing's coming to me,' they usually don't like what's coming to them.
‐‐ Amy Ray
When people say, 'She's got everything', I've got one answer - I haven't had tomorrow.
‐‐ Elizabeth Taylor
When people say 'stadium songs,' it's really negative. All the festival headliners, I've realised, are usually the worst bands.
‐‐ Laurent Brancowitz
When people say that college isn't worthwhile and paying all this money isn't worthwhile, I really disagree. I think those experiences and those classes that may not necessarily seem applicable in the moment end up coming back to you time and time again.
‐‐ Kevin Systrom
When people say that George Harrison made me famous, that is true in a way.
‐‐ Ravi Shankar
When people say that L.A. doesn't have a culture, I think it really does: a very old culture, and very specific. There's streets named after entertainers, and statues of entertainers, and it's great. Entertainment is still art, even if it makes billions of dollars. So it's like a city built on entertainment, and art in a way.
‐‐ Fred Armisen
When people say 'that's risky,' or when the odds are not in my favor, I'm more motivated than ever.
‐‐ Nash Grier
When people say that the Internet is going to make us all geniuses, that was said about the telegraph. On the other hand, when they say the Internet is going to make us stupid, that also was said about the telegraph.
‐‐ James Gleick
When people say that you kind of just get - you know, just feel like a little buzzed or dazed or had your bell rung - they consider that a concussion. I wouldn't. But if that is considered a concussion, I would say any football player at least records 50 to 100 in the course of a year.
‐‐ Troy Polamalu
When people say there is too much violence in my books, what they are saying is there is too much reality in life.
‐‐ Joyce Carol Oates
When people say they prefer organic food, what they often seem to mean is they don't want their food tainted with pesticides and their meat shot full of hormones or antibiotics. Many object to the way a few companies - Monsanto is the most famous of them - control so many of the seeds we grow.
‐‐ Michael Specter
When people say they take hits and flops in their stride, I personally feel that they are just lying. Of course, I'm upset when my movies flop. I take it very personally.
