Be polite to all, but intimate with few.

Set high standards and few limitations for yourself.

So I’m one of the few celebrities that got to do a repeat performance on ‘The Simpsons,’ which I’m very flattered by.

I learned more about acting from George Stevens in a few months than I had in my entire life up until then.

We ran three cars last year. Unfortunately, as time went on, we did have to let a few people go, which we regretted, but just because of the situation.

I think you’d have to literally live in a cave to not know anything about ‘Twilight’. I’ve seen a few of the movies, but I haven’t read the books.

I did get in a few fights in school. Kids threw around anti-Semitic slurs, not knowing necessarily what they meant. It was probably just something they picked up somewhere, as kids do.

Einstein’s results again turned the tables and now very few philosophers or scientists still think that scientific knowledge is, or can be, proven knowledge.

It is by now beyond question that Elton John is a competent and classy entertainer. Few people who have achieved his popularity have succeeded in maintaining his standards for performance and professionalism.

I’ve been stopped a few times by people who want to say, ‘Hi.’ But I’m an introverted person, and the idea that I’d have to talk to people all the time seems a little overwhelming.

Few would deny that blacks have become very dominant in athletics: football, basketball, track, now dominant in tennis and dominant in golf.

I was a lousy nun. I couldn’t do it. I couldn’t find God. It wasn’t suitable for me. It is suitable for very few people.

There are still so few female directors. There are far fewer writers than we’d like to see.

Back when I was maybe 19, guys would go, ‘I can kick your butt!’ So I had a few showdowns. To my advantage, I learned martial arts, and what you really learn is not to...

Few things are as essential as education.

I run a lot. I have this five-mile run that I try and do a few times a week. If I do more, I get shin splints and it drives me mad, so I have...

I really believe at the end of the day, regardless of how noble you are or how patriotic the film might be, it has to serve as entertainment in order for your audiences to come...

In my movies, there has been little to do in the way of animal rights. I have never worked in a movie with animals. No horse-riding, no trained dogs, lions, bears. A few actors, but...

After a month or so in St. Louis, we were looking around desperately for a way to draw a few people into the ball park, it being perfectly clear by that time that the ball...

What I would pay much more attention to are the few points where the player can inadvertently make a career decision. Most players end up back-tracking, though some actually enjoy this.

I don’t like the fact that there are so few women in rap.

For better or worse, zoos are how most people come to know big or exotic animals. Few will ever see wild penguins sledding downhill to sea on their bellies, giant pandas holding bamboo lollipops in...

I think that I have very few personal gifts to bring to real politics.

Europeans are forever the offspring of Machiavelli, trapped in a historical rollercoaster that can bring us a monarchy-toppling French Revolution and then a few years later Napoleon Bonaparte as emperor.

Some fighters know when to stop on their own and go on to something else, and then some fighters have nothing to go back to after they are finished. Some fighters still have the burning...

Theatre people, who are an adaptive species, know that to remain sane in the process of production where everyone and his uncle has an opinion about how to fix a show, you must pick the...

I’ve made many films and only a few times I’ve played real people.

I’ve stayed calm when I’m winning and I’ve stayed calm when I’ve lost. Tennis is a sport where we have a lot of tournaments every week, so you can’t celebrate a lot when you have...

It’s not fair that people wrote that all of my films had not done well. There were a few films like ‘Nippu,’ ‘Devudu Chesina Manushulu’ and ‘Sarostaru’ which were really bad. But, ‘Veera’ and ‘Dharuvu’...

You never know when a moment and a few sincere words can have an impact on a life.

I know a couple of my friends – quite a few – there is a conservative movement in Hollywood, and we kind of stay amongst ourselves.

With a goose-quill and a few sheets of paper, I mock myself of the universe. They say I am the son of a courtesan; it may be so, but I have the heart of a...

I did ‘Little Dorrit’ a few years ago; I really love doing period dramas. It’s stuff like that I really enjoy watching.

I’ve worked with very few directors who’ve asked of me what I asked of myself.

It’s only a few nutcases who do art for themselves, like Van Gogh.

If you’re gonna use simile, analogy, metaphor, be descriptive and have some flowery adjectives and a few odd nouns and some engaging bits of dialogue or sentiment, then you’re sort of writing a novel, really....

I think we’re really getting it right the last few months and hopefully we’ll get better and better at it.

It is the entire euro zone system which is under threat at the moment, not just a few small countries anymore… Our euro is under threat. The changing situation needs a quick and immediate reaction.

Me personally, I like to wear as few artificially made products as possible. That stuff affects us, one way or another.

If a servant strives to please his master and studies and takes pains to do it, I believe there are but few masters who would use such a servant cruelly.

Very few people deserted me when I went to prison. They stayed loyal.

I was married a few times, and one of my husbands was jealous of me writing.

I don’t normally have time to read, so when I go away I like to take a few books.

When Europe dominated, there were no or few feedback loops. Or, to put it another way, there were few, if any, consequences for its behaviour towards the non-western world: relations were simply too unequal.

There definitely isn’t a structure anymore to how I get ideas. A lot of times I’ll just write down a phrase, or I’ll have an idea that’s attached to just a few chords. Other times,...

I worked with Cecil B DeMille quite a few times.

I want everybody in the news business to think of ABC before they go any place else. If it costs us an extra few thousand dollars to do that, what does it mean?

Anything that Aaron Sorkin writes, I could watch a million times. One of the few shows that I’ve watched in repeats was ‘The West Wing.’

One of the few things the Air Force did admit to me existed out there presently without admitting that it was Area 51 is this drone called the ‘Beast of Kandahar’ which does not fire...

Liverpool is such a big club, and I was fortunate to be one of a select few to have played for them. It was an amazing time.
