When you study, as I did, every theatrical beginning in this country, none of them have been greeted well. The Royal Shakespeare Company was a disaster, Peter Hall was a disaster, Richard Eyre was a disaster, Trevor Nunn was always a disaster.
‐‐ Kevin Spacey
When you study history in American schools, very rarely is the name John Brown mentioned. We know who Kanye West is or Twyla Tharp or Shania Twain.
‐‐ James McBride
When you study postpartum depression, there is a very clear understanding that in communities where you see more support, there is less depression.
‐‐ Ariel Gore
When you subpoena one pastor, you subpoena every pastor.
‐‐ Ted Cruz
When you succeed, at a certain point, you want to challenge yourself. Otherwise, you become boring. You become a has-been. It's not very interesting. I don't want to be this guy who has only succeeded in France. I could say, 'O.K., that's it; merci.' But I'm not interested in that.
‐‐ Gad Elmaleh
When you succeed at creating your own world, whether it's in any realm - like Tolkien was able to do - and people are able to enter that world, it's a special thing.
‐‐ David Selby
When you suddenly appear on the scene and you are the new face, everything centers on you. I experienced this in my mid-20s and I found it rather hard.
‐‐ Jude Law
When you suddenly become successful, the change is enormous, both financially and in terms of recognition and the way people treat you. I found that hard to deal with. I got very guilty about it, and I think I put up obstacles to prevent myself enjoying it.
‐‐ James Nesbitt
When you suffer an attack of nerves you're being attacked by the nervous system. What chance has a man got against a system?
‐‐ Russell Hoban
When you supervise something, it is one thing. When you are in the middle of something, there is a different pace of life.
‐‐ Vladimir Potanin
When you surround yourself with like-minded athletes who are all going through the same thing as you, it gives you more drive and strength to get through those moments when you don't want to do it any more, when you think it's hard.
‐‐ Jessica Fox
When you take a character seriously, there's more room for comedy because you're not aware of how absurd you are.
‐‐ Robin McLeavy
When you take a drug to treat high blood pressure or diabetes, you have an objective test to measure blood pressure and the amount of sugar in the blood. It is straight-forward. With autism, you are looking for changes in behavior.
‐‐ Temple Grandin
When you take a flower in your hand and really look at it, it's your world for the moment. I want to give that world to someone else. Most people in the city rush around so, they have no time to look at a flower. I want them to see it whether they want to or not.
‐‐ Georgia O'Keeffe
When you take a job, you don't just accept the pats on the back. You have to accept the kicks in the pants.
‐‐ Joe Torre

‐‐ Paul Ryan
When you take a lot of stick you want to ram it down people's throats.
‐‐ Frank Lampard
When you take a picture of someone, never show it to them right away. If they don't like it, they may erase it.

‐‐ Reggie Jackson
When you take a shower in space, you have to press the water onto your body to clean yourself, and then you gotta vacuum it off.
‐‐ Ace Frehley
When you take a stand out of deep conviction, people know. They may not even agree, but they ask, 'Do I want someone who is willing to take a hard stand and someone I can trust to do that when the chips are down?' They want that.
‐‐ Barbara Boxer
When you take a subject and reduce it to something like a four-second sound bite and a check mark on a ballot, I think that that's inappropriate and insensitive.
‐‐ Kirk Cameron
When you take a year off from football, you come back for all the enjoyable moments. When you're not playing, you miss out on all the highs, but you also miss these disappointments. But I would rather be in the arena to be excited or be disappointed than not have a chance at all. That's football. That's why everybody plays it.
‐‐ Peyton Manning
When you take an Android device out of the box, you have to sign up to nine accounts with different vendors to get the experience iOS comes with.
‐‐ Phil Schiller
When you take away the phone and e-mail and you don't have a million things to run around to, it allows your mind the space to think more expansively about the things that matter.

‐‐ Jesse Eisenberg
When you take on more than the norm, your boss can't help but think that you're capable of a bigger role. This includes showing that you're willing to take risks by making innovative suggestions.
‐‐ Travis Bradberry
When you take on something like your footprint on the environment, you have to say, 'Where am I going to draw the circle around my level of responsibility and then where do I assume that others will take responsibility?'
‐‐ Sally Jewell
When you take other people's opinions, you end up flailing and you have no center.
‐‐ Gary Allan
When you take out individual initiative, individual responsibility, and the hope that every individual is born with, to better their lives, to climb the economic ladder, to pursue happiness, that is, in fact, a neoslavery.
‐‐ Niger Innis
When you take over a company like GE, you think you're going to visit 100 businesses. You're going to go see the factories you haven't seen before. You're going to see a site in Texas and one in Canada and stuff like that. That has fallen by the wayside.
‐‐ Jeffrey R. Immelt
When you take risks and things don't go your way, you can be heavily criticised by the media.
‐‐ Kapil Dev
When you take somebody's quote out of context, which happens all the time, nobody's ever going to go and do the research on their own and figure out that you got it wrong.
‐‐ Thomas Frank
When you take something apart, you get a great sense of what it took to originally put it together.
‐‐ Christian Marclay
When you take something extremely broad, then it is not a work of expansion or work of compression. It's hard because you have to decide what to throw out.
‐‐ Iris Chang
When you take something that's inert, and through motion, give it life, make it appear to be alive, living, breathing thinking and having emotions, that's animation. But when you take something that's live-action, and move a part of it, that's a special effect.
‐‐ John Lasseter
When you take the fact that you're loved for granted, it frees your mind to go after every other thing there is.
‐‐ Philipp Meyer
When you take the individual out of the equation, then you're making programming based on some marketer's idea of what will sell, and not based on the idea of what an individual would like.
‐‐ John Seabrook

‐‐ Lisa Ling
When you take the world record, a lot of people are going to go out there to get you, really. I kind of enjoy that. I like being chased.
‐‐ Adam Peaty
When you take things too seriously, you get old. You have to be silly. Whenever people say, 'Hey, man, are you ever going to grow up?' That's when you know you're doing things right.
‐‐ Ricky Martin
When you take your attention into the present moment, a certain alertness arises. You become more conscious of what's around you, but also, strangely, a sense of presence that is both within and without.
‐‐ Eckhart Tolle
When you talk about a 'broad-based business tax,' that's a pretty broad term. I don't know what that means. But it's not something I would be supportive of.
‐‐ Brian Sandoval
When you talk about a great actor, you're not talking about Tom Cruise. His whole behavior is so shocking. It's inappropriate and vulgar and absolutely unacceptable to use your private life to sell anything commercially, but I think it's kind of a sickness.
‐‐ Lauren Bacall
When you talk about aiding this country against that country or about fighting terrorism, when you actually take that decision and strip it down, it always comes down to one person in the field giving specialized training to somebody else in the field.
‐‐ Robert D. Kaplan
When you talk about avant-garde cuisine, the surprise factor is really important. For example, I love looking at blogs and the photos, but I'm not that keen on other people taking photos of my dishes.
