‐‐ Eric Ries
You know how people love to glamorize poverty? There's nothing glamorous about it. But it did make me really creative. Those days, I was literally taking t-shirts in the day and sewing them back together to make dresses for the night.
‐‐ Beth Ditto
You know how people say awards don't mean anything? Hello! I think the energy around them makes everyone cuckoo.
‐‐ Kirsten Dunst
You know how people say that young people feel immortal? I don't know what they're talking about. I was planning for how I would deal with my death in good conscience well before I even hit puberty.
‐‐ Nic Pizzolatto
You know how sad your life is when you know the release date of DVDs.
‐‐ Heston Blumenthal
You know how some people complain about the way carriage horses are treated? That they are in a small stall? That is mistreatment. In a holding cell, you get very bored. You have no newspapers, you have no anything.
‐‐ Bernhard Goetz
You know how some people write every day at a certain point? I'm not like that. I carry something around for a long time. I weigh the words and the sentences. I weigh the paragraphs. The process is much more meditative for me.
‐‐ Jamaica Kincaid
You know how someone - something - surprises you. You wake up a little bit. That's done through Chinese cuisine - for example, through dishes of artifice. That's a whole sub-tradition in Chinese cuisine. To create a dish that comes to the table looking like one thing but actually is something else.
‐‐ Nicole Mones
You know how sometimes you hear a chord played on an organ and you can feel it vibrating in your bones? Sometimes when I'm writing, I can feel my bones vibrating because I'll have a thought or I'll have a character's voice in my head, and that's when I know I'm on the right track.
‐‐ Laurie Halse Anderson
You know how sports teach kids teamwork and how to be strong and brave and confident? Improv was my sport. I learned how to not waffle and how to hold a conversation, how to take risks and actually be excited to fail.

‐‐ Kelly Rowland
You know how the best story angles often spring from that thought you have on reading an article or watching a show - that thought you have before the responsible journalist in you comes up with something boring. I usually recommend people get in touch with their deep 'reptilian brain.'

You know how there are some stars out there who know how to market themselves? I don't have that.
‐‐ Mark Hamill
You know how there's always the one girl in drama school who can cry at the drop of a hat? She has that emotional well she can tap into in a second? I'm not that girl. It takes a lot to get me to that place.
‐‐ Condola Rashad
You know how they say that old people with Alzheimer's, they kind of go back, and they revert to the most emotional part of their life, what they did when they were younger... I think I am going to be cursed with reliving 'Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope' in my mind. And playing 'Dragon's Layer' when I enter Alzheimer's.

You know how to tell if the teacher is hung over? Movie Day.

You know how when people lose their grandma or grandpa, people they say they're sorry? They do mean it, but... there's nothing to say. There's a void that cannot be filled.
‐‐ Amaury Nolasco
You know how when you're alone with your cat, your cat is kind of silly and goofy and kind of crazy? And as soon as people come over, your cat is like someone you've never met before? You know, poised. That's sort of what it's like working with Jennifer Lopez.
‐‐ Michaela Watkins
You know how when you read a book and it becomes a movie, and it's different than you pictured? In some ways, acting is a lot like that.
‐‐ Morgan Saylor
You know how you either grow up in a Michael Jackson house or a Prince house? For me it was Michael Jackson. I could never decide whether I wanted to be Michael Jackson or marry him.
‐‐ Amy Winehouse
You know how you feel somebody looking at you, and you turn, and somebody actually is? It's the same at an art gallery. You're looking at one portrait, turn around, and there is a work of art directly behind you. Because it's all energy. Every single thing has energy.
‐‐ Marina Abramovic
You know how you feel when you get full? Well, I don't get full. I can eat a lot. Mike and I were in Italy for 10 days, and I put on 8 pounds. So in real life, I have to make sure I'm not eating just to eat.
‐‐ Carrie Underwood
You know how you get close to something you want and then you start doing things to ensure that you don't quite get it? I did a lot of that.
‐‐ Patti Scialfa
You know how you put peanut butter on a piece of bread and the bread falls - it never falls on the bread side down, it always falls peanut butter side down. That's because of gravity.
‐‐ J. B. Smoove
You know how you're supposed to choose between playing up your eyes or your lips? I always choose lips. I love the drama.
‐‐ Leighton Meester
You know how you smoke out a sniper? You send a guy out in the open, and you see if he gets shot. They thought that one up at West Point.
‐‐ Samuel Fuller
You know how you wake up in the morning and sometimes you look gorgeous and other times you look like you got hit by a mack truck? I realized that my mack truck is food. If I have no sugar, yeast or wine, I have no undereye bags and my skin is perfect.
‐‐ Mariska Hargitay
You know, I actually like doing commercials. I don't like doing them to the exclusion of everything else, but I like doing them.
‐‐ Errol Morris
You know, I agree with President Obama that in Iraq and Afghanistan, at some point in time, we have to take the training wheels off and we have to allow those countries to stand on their own two feet.
‐‐ Josh Mandel
You know, I always do my best, no matter the quality of the film.
‐‐ Herbert Lom
You know, I always got offered other stuff. Not the romantic leads, obviously. But very often it's a role that's underwritten, where the character has no personality at all. And they need a character actor who can fill it in.
‐‐ Harvey Fierstein
You know, I always root for the older athlete. I root for the second album. I root for solo careers after the rock star breaks the band apart.
‐‐ John Cho
You know, I always say this - As an actor, we're lucky to get a job. Then we're lucky that anybody gives a damn to watch the thing that we're in.
‐‐ Alicia Coppola
You know, I always say white is not a colour, white is an attitude, and if you haven't got trillions of dollars in the bank that you don't need, you can't be white.
‐‐ Dick Gregory
You know, I always was an early morning or late night writer. Early morning was my favorite; late night was because you had a deadline. And at four in the morning you make up some of your most absurd jokes.
‐‐ Joss Whedon
You know, I always when people ask me, like, what is my most favorite song, I quote Duke Ellington, when they would ask him, what's his favorite composition? And I say, I haven't written it yet. Because, you know, there are different songs for different occasions.
‐‐ Stevie Wonder
You know, I always wondered what it would have been like to just go to school, play football with the guys and go to the prom. Just like a 'regular person.'

‐‐ Patrick Swayze
You know, I am a mainstream person with mainstream tastes, and I want to hear the hits.
‐‐ Robbie Williams
You know, I am against lynching and lynching is a tendency of the people.
‐‐ Jacques Verges
You know I am an actor, and I have medals for diction.
‐‐ Paul Robeson
You know I am done lying. Obscuring the truth is no longer something I have any interest in doing. I want it all to come out. The good, the bad, the ugly.
‐‐ Jayson Blair
You know, I am just a musician and I have no idea these days what good and bad is in terms of labels.
‐‐ Billy Sherwood
You know, I am mainstream America, and it really doesn't matter what party you're in. When you call your children and you say 'How are you?' - and what you are really asking is, 'Do you still have your job? And are you able to make the mortgage payment?', That resonates across the state, not across party lines.
‐‐ Sharron Angle
You know, I auditioned for 'Titanic.' Sometimes I muse on what would have happened. That would have been such a different life.

You know, I became a director out of necessity. I was writing comedies, and I couldn't find anybody to deliver it correctly.
‐‐ Albert Brooks
You know, I believe that marriage is between a man and a woman.
‐‐ Carly Fiorina
You know, I believe that technology is the great leveler. Technology permits anybody to play. And in some ways, I think technology - it's not only a great tool for democratization, but it's a great tool for eliminating prejudice and advancing meritocracies.
‐‐ Carly Fiorina
You know, I can be the happiest man in the world with minimal record success.
‐‐ Joe Nichols
