Do you have any idea how mad you sound?’‘Indeed I do. I have in moments of doubt considered the question of my sanity.’ (…)‘And?’‘Then I consider what a piece of work is man. How defective...

There is no question of the benefits that opening a market of a billion people will bring to American businesses. But as I said last year, this will test China and the world trade system.

Well, that was in 1995 when I resigned from my last academic job.

It’s not the beef, Henry. It’s the last 23 years!

The frustrating part of it is that you’re generally known for what you did last. I’ve had the privilege of doing some very cool independent films that, a lot of the time, the general public...

I wrote Steve Carell’s last episode. I think it was a really good episode, but there’s always a tension between what’s good for the series and what’s good for an episode, because the more closure...

Since the rise of Homo sapiens, human beings have been the smartest minds around. But very shortly – on a historical scale, that is – we can expect technology to break the upper bound on...

Television in the last few years has been where all the great writers are going. TV now is what indie film used to be.

After all, at end of the day, when you’re breathing your last, it’s not your producer, director, or cast mates by your bedside; it’s your children. Keep that in mind.

I’ve always worked closely with the designers and whoever’s making the costumes. Comfort is the last thing you want on your mind when you’re competing. In an ideal situation, you’ll have something where you’ll put...

Look at Nicola Walker in ‘Last Tango in Halifax.’ She has the most wonderful face. You just want to look at her. And if she’d gone off and had Botox and facelifts, I wouldn’t want...

You know, it’s amazing. I don’t even have a car, would you believe it? I had a motorbike and it got stolen last year. So I’ve got to buy another one of those, I suppose....

From their ’61 Cavern Club debut to their last rooftop concert eight years later, The Beatles gave every serious artist in their wake the songbook and sound for their career. It’s the musical trough from...

Actually, to be honest, this is a useful time to not be knowing what I’ll be doing in 2013 or 2014, because really, for the last however many years, I’ve known what I’ve been doing...

I just wanted to be an ordinary, middle-class person. When I was at Cambridge, I made great efforts to lose the last remnants of my Cockney accent.

When drawings of the main buildings I have designed in the last five years are juxtaposed, the fact that they all involve the pursuit of certain configurations is obvious to anyone.

True, when you behold Damascus from the Salahiyeh, the last slope of the Anti-Lebanon, it is the realization of all that you have dreamed of Oriental splendor; the world has no picture more dazzling. It...

When I go home, the last thing I want to do is read about the popular lore of vampires.

You know, I can’t remember the last movie I walked out of. If I pay, I’ll see it through. I can’t be halfway through a movie and think that I know everything that’s going to...

It is within the last quarter century or thirty years. And a lot of that law has turned out to be very, very protective of the press and the public’s right to know.

I wont cry, it’ll be fine. I’ll take my last breath. Push it out my chest ’til there’s nothing left.

Dr. Flint had sworn that he would make me suffer, to my last day, for this new crime against him, as he called it; and as long as he had me in his power he...

You all have a gift. It’s free. It’s the gift of song.

I left acting for a couple of years to found my company, Wayfarer, and the first project I did was this documentary series I created called ‘My Last Days’ to remind us that our time...

I didn’t get the degree because in my last year, for my thesis film I made a feature called Permanent Vacation and they’d given me a scholarship, the Louis B Mayer fellowship and they made...

I seriously believed that my last hour was approaching, and yet, so strange is imagination, all I thought of was some childish hypothesis or other. In such circumstances, you do not choose your own thoughts....

If I ask you to write down the last 4 digits of your social security number, and then take you out to lunch and ask you how many dentists there are in Manhattan, there’s going...

The last occasions when the timetable of our lives would be interrupted for many years to come.

The last book I read was the book I’ve been rereading most of my life, The Fountainhead.

Yeah, we held a junior carp tournament on the St. Lawrence River in New York last August. I hosted that along with a couple of other people.

I’m always nervous! Especially when it comes to a series like ‘Disgaea’, where you do have such a devoted fan base, the last thing you want to do is disappoint. But I love playing bad...

When I was on a major label I felt obliged to say yes to every interview, tour and whatever else. The label is always telling you, ‘This ain’t going to last,’ so I worked myself...

I always had a weird thing with being the last person somewhere… like a movie theater or a classroom. I get a weird sense of anxiety.

If you are a rich person straining every sinew to keep every last pound in your pocket, there comes a point when you realize you are not just escaping the clutches of the Chancellor of...

Anyone who lives like a modern aristocracy, the last thing they exhibit is a sense of gratitude. Me, I’m very fortunate.

Life is tragic simply because the earth turns and the sun inexorably rises and sets, and one day, for each of us, the sun will go down for the last, last time.

I prepared my intervention the night before I spoke. As it happened, there were about 44 cardinals who wished to speak but could not because there was not enough time. I was one of the...

Working for Disney for the last eight and a half years, people come and go – production staff and actors. I stepped onto the sound stage and it was a literal time warp.

There’s a lot of reflection that goes on whenever I write a song – it’s been a wild whirlwind last couple of years and there’s a lot to talk about, and hopefully that’s evident in...

I can only tell you that when long soul-searching and a combination of circumstances delivered me of my last prejudices, there was an exalted sense of liberation. It was not the Negro who became free,...

A housing renaissance has begun. This may be hard to believe after the dizzying, six-year-long crash in home sales, construction and house prices. But housing turned the corner last year, and it will take off...

In 2008, I just decided that there will come a time when I am dead and gone, and I only have a body of work to show. That was when I did films like ‘Last...

Skylar is my first name and Astin is my middle name, and my real last name is Lipstein. When I was 15, I think my first agent just kind of did it for me. I’m...

Simplicity is natures first step, and the last of art.

I saved a girl from being attacked last night. I controlled myself.

Writing long hand is the last refuge. One needs the time it takes to put pencil to paper and let it run along the ruled line.

Thou wilt find rest from vain fancies if thou doest every act in life as though it were thy last.

I just tend to do things to myself that I don’t realize I’m doing. Sometimes I bite my lip so that it splits and hurts, and yet I can’t stop. And sometimes I’d play shows...

If we can prove an afterlife, then we have less pressure to make our physical life last forever.

We Greeks want change. We know there are problems in our system. We have great potential but we need to manage our country well. Now that hasn’t been done over the last decades. And that...
