Finally

Control
Use
You never really know as an actor; it's completely out of your control, in terms of editing, and music, and film stock, shot selection, and what takes they use.
- Aaron Eckhart
Belief
System
Your belief system saturates the space around you.
- Aaron Huey
Beware
Medicines
Beware of addictive medicines. Everything in moderation. This applies particularly to the Internet and your sofa. The physical world is ultimately the source of all inspiration. Which is to say, if all else fails: take a bike ride.
- Aaron Koblin
Run
Geniuses
Geniuses come in many shapes and colors, and they often run in packs. If you can find one, it may lead you to others. Collaborate with geniuses. Send them your spells. Look carefully at theirs. What could you do together? Combination is creation.
- Aaron Koblin

Mint is designed to put your finances on auto-pilot. Whether you log in or not, it will send you a weekly summary of your balances and biggest purchases, and how your investments and budgets are doing, along with sending you alerts on unusual spending and low balances.

Matter
No matter how senior you get in an organization, no matter how well you're perceived to be doing, your job is never done.

Feel
Idea
Digital photography is, by definition, unfinished. You don't feel that after every 24 or 36 shots you have to change your film - you know you can go on for ever if you want. You can see the result immediately, and find out if your original idea is worth going on with or not, whether it can be corrected, whether it can be improved.
- Abbas Kiarostami
Tailored
Tops
I always say spend more on classics, like a good pair of leather trousers, an amazing tailored jacket, or a classic handbag. Then you can just mix your everyday tops from the high street.
- Abbey Clancy
I Think
Buy
Honestly, I don't buy papers or the weeklies. I think when something messy does happen, you just need your closest friends and family all around you, and it's nothing to do with anyone else.
- Abbey Clancy
Own
Only
The only way to support a revolution is to make your own.
- Abbie Hoffman

Teammates

- Abby Wambach
Hope
Why
Many will view the compromises that will be made during your negotiations as painful concessions. But why not view them as peace offerings, ones that will provide in return the priceless gifts of hope, security and freedom for our children and our children's?
- Abdullah II of Jordan
Craft
I Think
I think it's important for an actor to see the work they've done because every time you revisit a work you come up with a new way of improving it. It's a good way to brush up your craft and your skills, so I think it's a good thing to do, keep seeing your films.
- Abhishek Bachchan
Stupid
Bad
The hardest thing in the world, I now know, is to hold in your head that it is okay to think that you are right, but not to think so necessarily because everyone who disagrees with you is wrong or stupid or duped or bad.
- Abigail Disney
Anybody
Goes
When you make your first film at 47 and anybody but your mother goes to see it, to me, that's a miracle.

Good

Count
Intentions
Intentions count in your actions.

Enemy
Even
Do not deceive or be faithless even with your enemy.

Hair
Restored
Youth is not restored by the dyeing of your hair.

Shower
Gotta
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
Other
Had
I don't ever have the pressure of making a hit, because I've never had a hit song, per se. The closest thing to a hit song was 'Shiraz,' and it's not your prototypical hit song, with a catchy hook and all this other stuff.
- Action Bronson
Tell
Profession
I guess I am a rapper. It's weird to be called that, or tell someone that's your profession.
- Action Bronson
Away
Brothers
Once you lose your parents, you get this numbness, this feeling of having to really be able to connect yourself with someone. I depended on my brothers for that connection, but to have that feeling of being taken care of... I lost it when my parents passed away.
- Adam Beach
Away
Good Feeling
You don't cruise the Internet looking for your name and walk away with a good feeling. So, I never do it.
- Adam Carolla
Business
Might
If your business is really easy to do, don't gloat. You might be out of a job soon.
- Adam Davidson
Run
Main
I actually run a non-profit where one of the main objectives is to branch out and get a new audience for the theater. Just because the writing is so good and nothing is more effective than seeing something live and happening right in front of your face, so I definitely want to continue to pursue that.
- Adam Driver
Cop
Infantry
I was an infantry Marine, and there are only so many things you can do when you get out of the military that you can apply your job to. Either a janitor or a cop. I tried to do both of those things because what else are you going to do?
- Adam Driver
Turn
Indicator
In California, the lines on the road are just a suggestion. They're in the left lane with the left indicator on, so naturally it's time to turn right! Are you kidding me? In your Prius? I know, you're saving the Earth by trying to kill the people!
- Adam Ferrara
I Think
Very
My favorite thing to do is to wind those guys up by hitting on their girlfriends. I say, 'I think your girlfriend's gorgeous, but it's all right, I'm gay.' They get very nervous after a few minutes!
- Adam Garcia
Want
Out
No one wants to hear everything that's in your head. They just want you to live up to what comes out of your mouth.
- Adam Grant
Every Day
About
We all have original ideas. Even if we don't see ourselves as supercreative or as wild nonconformists, we have insights every day about how the world around us could be better. It might be a better way of running meetings in your office that would be less mind-numbing. It might be a little twist on a product or a service.
- Adam Grant
Church
Indispensable
You are not indispensable to your church, but you are indispensable to your family.
- Adam Hamilton
Mom
Famous
Ultimately, the only people who are in any way edified by hanging with famous people are you at the age of 11 and your mom.
- Adam McKay
Nation
About
We lost our minds in the '80s and '90s; we really as a society just felt that everyone could only care about themselves. There was no responsibility to discuss what's going on in your town, your state, your nation. And it was a blast, it was really fun, but it doesn't work.
- Adam McKay
Love
Bed
I love that you can pick up your phone at a hotel and have something to eat in your bed. I love home, but there are amenities at a hotel that you simply don't have at home.

Brothers
Great Time
SNL is a home. You've got all of your brothers and sisters there, and it's a great time.

Every Day
Fill
In promotional mode, every day is a series of decisions. You can easily fill up your day with checklist stuff.
- Adam Schlesinger
Business
Spent
Most of your day is spent working, and being in a band is no different. We're just business travelers in a way.
- Adam Schlesinger
Purpose
Cold
I like having a beard. What's funny is when you shave a beard, you realize how freezing cold your face is! The primary purpose evolution-wise is to keep you warm, to grow hair on your face. You shave it off, and your face is freezing for a few days.
- Adam Scott
Fact
Conjunction
I have this Waterpik that shoots water between your teeth. It's great. You do that along with flossing, and you know for a fact you've cleaned your mouth as much as humanly possible. It's like going to the dentist every night in your bathroom. I don't know if it's a floss replacement, but in conjunction with flossing, it's great.
- Adam Scott
Parent
I Remember
I remember, the first time I played a parent was - I did a guest spot on 'Veronica Mars,' and they were like, 'OK, and this is your daughter,' and there's this little girl standing there. And I remember thinking, 'OK, this is weird... I guess I'm old enough to have a daughter.'
- Adam Scott
Best
Buy
The Strand prides itself for its '18 miles of books,' and they are not kidding - that store goes on for da-a-a-a-ys. There are carts outside with dollar books, all sorts of fun merchandise inside, and an extensive selection of reduced priced books. If you're looking to buy a $30 hardcover for $20, The Strand is your new best friend.
- Adam Silvera
Dig
Liked
In theater, you go in-depth with your character, so coming to the States, it was inevitable to dig into the pilots I liked. I knew what characters I was going to be reading for, so I would dissect them and really get involved with them.
- Adan Canto
Skills
Use
Regardless of how or where you enter Wall Street, use your inherent skills and strengths to succeed.
- Adena Friedman
Years
Counts
It is not the years in your life but the life in your years that counts.

Modeling
Other
Modeling is a tough job, your co-workers are your rivals, it really puts a damper on your perspective of other girls.
- Adriana Lima
Very
Secret
I eat a balanced diet. The secret is to watch your portions, but I also work out a lot. Working out a lot isn't necessary, but I am very active, and my body can endure intense workouts.
- Adriana Lima
Why
Had
There is no one on earth who knew you from the day you were born; who knew why you cried, or when you'd had enough food; who knew exactly what to say when you were hurting; and who encouraged you to grow a good heart. When that layer goes, whatever is left of your childhood goes with her.
- Adriana Trigiani
Children
Two
There are two phone calls parents don't ever want to get from their children. No. 1 is, 'I'm in prison. Come fetch me.' And No. 2 is, 'I've written a novel... and it's set in your hometown.'
- Adriana Trigiani
Love
Doing
It's great when people appreciate your work, but I don't know how seriously to take it. The amazing thing is that I found something so early that I can support myself doing, and that can even be extremely lucrative, but I love it either way.
- Adrien Brody
Love
Idea
I love market research because you really have an idea of what your consumers are looking for.
- Aerin Lauder
Listen
Will
To mourn and bewail your ill-fortune, when you will gain a tear from those who listen, this is worth the trouble.
- Aeschylus
Values
Complacency
Don't let your special character and values, the secret that you know and no one else does, the truth - don't let that get swallowed up by the great chewing complacency.
- Aesop
Wheel
Shoulder
Put your shoulder to the wheel.
- Aesop
Cannot
Lot
Be content with your lot; one cannot be first in everything.
- Aesop
Lose
Joke
It ain't no joke when you lose your vinyl.
- Afrika Bambaataa
Media
Putting
We want you to sit down and leave your egos at home and let's get an understanding as to where all this is foolishness coming from. There are others who are putting things out there or throwing a stick and hiding their hand and keeping things built up in the media.
- Afrika Bambaataa
Teenage
Stories
When you are in your teenage years you are consciously experiencing everything for the first time, so adolescent stories are all beginnings. There are never any endings.
- Aidan Chambers
Motivation
About
I certainly understand that we're all trying to make a living, but I'm not thinking about that when I'm making it. And if that's your sole motivation, it's going to reflect that narcissistic greed, and you're going to hear it in the music.
- Aimee Mann
Trust
Triumphs
We all bullet point our triumphs, but I am who I am because of everything you don't see on my CV. The stuff that doesn't work out teaches you how to trust your instincts and adapt.
- Aimee Mullins
Less
Particular
After 40, your chances of getting pregnant are between two and eight percent, and in my particular case, they were less than five percent.
- Aisha Tyler
I Think
Fancy
I think art comes out of meaningful experiences, and it's hard to make art when your meaningful experience is getting into your electric car and driving from your fancy house in the Hills to your fancy job in the Valley.
- Aisha Tyler
Feel
Role
I don't think of myself as a role model, but I do feel like, for women out there who are trying to figure out who they are, the most important choice to make is to live a life that's true to who you are inside. And let your ideas and your heart and your mind drive your fashion choices.
- Aisha Tyler
Other
Very
By virtue of my job, I'm traveling. You get to spend very little time with your family. We hardly get to meet each other except on the one odd day we really get to spend time, have dinner together. And that's rare, and we cherish it.
- Aishwarya Rai Bachchan
Point
Very
Weight gain can happen at any point in time, and it is something that you are dealing with anyway, and it is OK. It is ridiculous to have this dictate your very being because I have always said that it is not the outside that defines who you are.
- Aishwarya Rai Bachchan
I Think
Dorky
I'm not the coolest person in the world. I'm not the sexiest Diva or the strongest Diva. I know who I am. I'm not the most popular person, and I'm kind of dorky, and I'm someone you can see at your school or as your neighbor, and I think people like that.
- AJ Lee
Creative
Own
It is important to make your own stuff. Even if you are not an actor, it is important to not stop involving yourself as a creative person.
- Ajay Naidu
India
China And India
If you want your energy bills to go up, you should support an ever greater dependence on foreign oil, because the rate of new discoveries is declining as demand in China and India is growing, and the price of oil and thus the price of coal will go sky high.
- Al Gore
Best
Failed
As long as you gave it your best shot, even if in the opinion of others 'you failed,' you didn't fail.
- Al Lewis
Football
About
When it comes down to it, I'm thinking about football all the time. When I'm on the golf course, I'm thinking about it. It's never out of your brain.
- Al Michaels
Dad
Out
When Courtney's mother and I first separated I tried to be Disney Dad, showering her with gifts, trips and then I snapped out of it. You don't have to try to impress your kids. If they're not getting what they need from you, they will let you know.
- Al Roker
Why
Police Officers
It is up to us to change laws on the books like 'Stand Your Ground' laws and push elected officials to enact regulations that hold police officers to the same standards as the rest of society. This is why we vote.
- Al Sharpton
Go
Within
You take care of you and your family first. Then you go to your neighborhood, and then you spread it on out within the community.
- Al Smith
Job
Need
You don't need to be defined by your job.
- Al Yankovic
Come
Them
Begin challenging your assumptions. Your assumptions are the windows on the world. Scrub them off every once in awhile or the light won't come in.
- Alan Alda
Life
Existence
It's a lot harder to find fault with the mundane details of daily existence when you really, really know on a cellular level that you're going to go, and that this moment, right now, is life. Life isn't what happens to you in 20 years. This moment, right now, is your life.
- Alan Ball
Thankful
Thoughts
Appreciation is the highest form of prayer, for it acknowledges the presence of good wherever you shine the light of your thankful thoughts.
- Alan Cohen
Mother
Growing
When I was growing up, my mother would always say, 'It will go on your permanent record.' There was no 'permanent record.' If there were a 'permanent record,' I'd never be able to be a lawyer. I was such a bum in elementary school and high school... There is a permanent record today, and it's called the Internet.
- Alan Dershowitz
Been
Maybe
You have to really stretch your imagination to infer what the intrinsic value of Bitcoin is. I haven't been able to do it. Maybe somebody else can.
- Alan Greenspan
Life
Around
Life is a lot more interesting if you are interested in the people and the places around you. So, illuminate your little patch of ground, the people that you know, the things that you want to commemorate. Light them up with your art, with your music, with your writing, with whatever it is that you do.
- Alan Moore
Been
Bring
You've got to be able to pay your bills; otherwise, you're not going to sleep at night. But beyond that, the world inside my head has always been a far richer place than the world outside it. I suppose that a lot of my art and writing are meant to bring the two together.
- Alan Moore
Program
Listener
If a listener nods his head when you're explaining your program, wake him up.
- Alan Perlis
Going
Stage Fright
I get stage fright and gremlins in my head saying: 'You're going to forget your lines'.
- Alan Rickman
Back
Everyone
To keep everyone invested in your vision, you have to back up a little bit and really analyze who the different stakeholders are and what they individually respond to.
- Alan Stern
I Think
Tribulations
If one tends to be a humorous person and you have a sense of humor the rest of your life then you can certainly lighten the load, I think, by bringing that to your trials and tribulations. It's easy to have a sense of humor when everything is going well.
- Alan Thicke
About
Had
Every now and then you think about your life, what you would like to be, you start at Number 1 and you go down to 100. And down at the bottom, 100, was - Stage. Go figure. That would be the last thing. It terrified me, man. But I had to do it.
- Alan Vega
Upper
Compel
What would you have if you didn't have a murder in a mystery? You'd have something for the lower-level readers. When you get up into the upper levels, there's nothing that will engage you or compel you or get your emotions churning like a murder. It's the ultimate stakes.
- Alane Ferguson
Spiritual
Political
Your political views really denote your spiritual views.
- Alanis Morissette

Sometimes
Queen Paola and I will never forget the ties that have grown between the people and us during the course of the years. Thank you for your confidence, tokens of sympathy and support, sometimes even with a little criticism. We always loved you.

Inside
I want to assure your excellency that I am occupying myself permanently and jointly with my team to achieve a solution as soon as possible to this crisis, the principal objective being the safeguarding of the health and life of those who are inside.
- Alberto Fujimori
Love
Got
I don't understand actors who complain when they get work. 'I'm working too much. I've got to get up too early ...' Isn't this the point? There's somebody right now who's bussing tables who would love your problems.
- Aldis Hodge
God
Mouth
If God gives you chocolate, you open your mouth, no?
- Alejandro Jodorowsky
Poland
Led
We all live in a free Poland, and there would be no free Poland without you, Twenty-five years ago, I did not stand on the same side together with you, but today I have no doubts that it was your vision of Poland which led us in the right direction.
- Aleksander Kwasniewski
Memory
Your memory is not my memory.
- Alessandro Michele
Dress
Expression
The way you dress is an expression of your personality.
- Alessandro Michele
Strong
Own
People are always going to identify with what it's like living in society and have people judge you in certain ways, and how you can be strong enough to be your own person and all those good things.
- Alessandro Nivola
Down
Slightly
It slightly depends on your perspective, sort of how you look at these things, but when I sit down to write a script, I'm not planning to write a script; I'm planning to make a film, and so I only see the script as being just a step there.
