When you're running a company, creating jobs is the last thing you want to. When you're running a company you want to employ as few people as possible, and yet you inadvertently create jobs.
‐‐ Robert Metcalfe
When you're running a company, you have employees - lots of them - that can interrupt your schedule. You have customers that can interrupt your schedule. You have a certain obligation to wave the flag because people expect to get out and wave the flag. The number of ways that others can command your time is high.
‐‐ Steve Ballmer
When you're running around and playing, it's amazing ground for imagination, and that's really the biggest muscle you need for anything in the arts. I think it's probably the biggest training I've had.
‐‐ Josh Cooke
When you're safe at home you wish you were having an adventure; when you're having an adventure you wish you were safe at home.
‐‐ Thornton Wilder
When you're scared, when you're hanging on, when life is hurting you, then you're going to see what you're really made of.
‐‐ Sylvester Stallone
When you're scared, you're still hanging on to life. When you're ready to die, you let it go. A sort of emptying out occurs, a giving up on the world that seems oddly familiar even if you've never done it before.
‐‐ Sebastian Junger
When you're sent something and read it, either you can see it while you read it, or you can't.
‐‐ Steven Soderbergh
When you're setting up a budget, a general rule is to start with your fixed expenses - your housing and insurance payments, and car payment, if you own one.
‐‐ Jean Chatzky
When you're seventeen to early twenties, that's the time you're trying to work out who you are. If you're trying to make some kind of artistic or creative impact, that's the age when you start to figure out how to do that.
‐‐ Daniel Radcliffe
When you're shooting a film, you really don't get to be a dad, and you don't really get to be a husband. You don't really exist at all. But I do drag my family with me on location whenever I can.
‐‐ Eric Bana
When you're shooting a movie, it's two months of your life usually. You don't really have time to see anybody else. Your friends are put on hold while you're shooting, and what you have is the family that you create on set.
‐‐ Odette Annable
When you're shooting a movie that's not necessarily a huge budget, you have to think about what you can leave out and still make it interesting.
‐‐ Mark Sheppard
When you're shooting a network television show it inevitably starts airing a few episodes in, and depending on the ratings and the response from the public, you find yourself tweaking your performance or the scripts go in a different direction.
‐‐ Lizzy Caplan
When you're shooting a TV show, there's not a lot of time to build character.
‐‐ Candice Patton
When you're shooting at 9 A.M. at a club, you have to use all of your acting skills.
‐‐ Gillian Jacobs
When you're shooting, there's terrible pressure, and you never switch off. Every day is like the day before an exam; it's relentless.
‐‐ Lenny Abrahamson
When you're shooting with long lenses, even if you're shooting a close-up, you feel the air, the distance between the camera and the subject.
‐‐ Emmanuel Lubezki
When you're shooting you go to references in your mind. You think about how you should stand in these particular clothes, or how you should move. You think about the different characters you're playing, really.
‐‐ Kate Moss
When you're shopping you forget about eating!
‐‐ Jennifer Hudson
When you're shy, the worst thing you can do is go into all these casting rooms and be scrutinized. But with shyness, I think you just have to bite the bullet.
‐‐ Dylan Penn
When you're sick, nobody takes care of you like your mom.
‐‐ Trisha Yearwood
When you're sick on the road, it's the worst. That's when you become the most vulnerable and neurotic. You become scared. If I had a cold or a chest infection, and I had to sing all those high parts, there was stage fright.
‐‐ Richie Sambora
When you're singing before 15,000 people at a summer concert outside, you need to look beautiful, because that's what people want.
‐‐ Anna Netrebko
When you're singing you can hear the echo of people in the audience singing every single word with you, and that was that big dream that I had for myself. It's happening.
‐‐ Taylor Swift
When you're single and in your 20s, you throw on a pair of jeans and look fabulous.
‐‐ Sheena Easton
When you're single, you're very independent. Very independent women raised me. We didn't have a lot of male figures as the head of our household, so I got, and took on, a lot of that strong spirit from the matriarchs in my family.
‐‐ Tichina Arnold
When you're sitting in front of a screen, you're not using all of your senses at the same time. Nowhere than in nature do kids use their senses in such a stimulated way.
‐‐ Richard Louv
When you're sitting ringside, there's a primal thing there that hooks into violence and excitement. It's just two guys going at it in the ring - there's no team, no one to pass the ball to - and there's a certain excitement to that.
‐‐ Antoine Fuqua
When you're six years old, you do not appreciate that you're living in the Alps. My sisters and I, all we wanted was to go to Disneyland.
‐‐ Ahna O'Reilly
When you're six years old, you don't look at things the way an adult looks at things.
‐‐ Dwight Henry
When you're small, you either are funny, or you get beat up a lot.
‐‐ Tim Conway
When you're smaller and leaner, you're not going to have that large a presence throughout the world.
‐‐ Leon Panetta
When you're so close to material, it would be as if you had come out of a bad marriage. You would be so close to it that you would be paying attention to detail that may not mean a whole lot for the reader.
‐‐ Tim O'Brien
When you're so consistent, people have to stand up and take notice. I don't think people recognise or praise consistency enough.
‐‐ Katie Taylor
When you're so out there in the public eye, people are constantly criticizing every aspect about you.
‐‐ Gwyneth Paltrow
When you're so passionate about cinema, the idea to direct your own film is really appealing.
‐‐ Gaspard Ulliel
When you're someone in the media, the good thing is, I guess, that you can reach a lot of people.
‐‐ Tabatha Coffey
When you're speaking Spanish, you're thinking in a different way.
‐‐ Giancarlo Esposito
When you're special to a cat, you're special indeed, she brings to you the gift of her preference of you, the sight of you, the sound of your voice, the touch of your hand.
‐‐ Lester B. Pearson
When you're standing in front of an audience like this that is so enthusiastic and so much behind you, it is very hard to give a bad speech. Even a bad speech sounds good in a convention hall like this.
‐‐ Susan Estrich
When you're standing in line at the airport, and your shoes are off, your belt is off, and your personal belongings are being closely scrutinized, and you're standing with your hands in the air, waiting to be patted down, do you feel protected? I don't. I feel like I'm the enemy.
‐‐ John McAfee
When you're starting a company, almost anything that can go wrong will go wrong, and it will probably look like and feel like you made the absolute wrong decision to start the company. If you're not absolutely determined to solve a problem or see something through, it might not make sense to keep going.
‐‐ Logan Green
When you're starting off as a young writer, you look at all the stuff that's gone before and the stuff that's influenced you, and you reach the ladle of your imagination into this bubbling stew pot of all of this stuff, and you pour it out. And that's where you start from.
‐‐ Neil Gaiman
When you're starting out as an actor, there isn't much food around. I was lucky to have a hit pretty early on. I didn't starve too long.
‐‐ Steve Guttenberg
When you're starting out as an actor, you keep raising the stakes. First, you just want to be a character who comes on stage and gets a laugh or two and exits. Just five minutes on a stage, not even Broadway. But every time you say your little prayer at night, you place more demands.
‐‐ Charles Kimbrough
When you're starting out, every line in a show or a commercial is like a huge success.
‐‐ Emmanuelle Chriqui
When you're starting out, you basically have all these assumptions about what it means to be an artist or how to be a rock star. It took me years, through trial and error, to figure out what does work for me. So much of it is counter to the myth of the rock-star life.
‐‐ Rivers Cuomo
When you're starting out, you know, you have to do something on a very limited budget. You're not going to be able to have great actors, and you're most likely not going to have a great script.
‐‐ Peter Jackson
When you're starting up a show, you don't really know what direction it's going to go.
‐‐ Rachel Dratch
