Robin Hood is often seen as the hands-on-hips, archetypal, tally-ho hero. But, realistically, the one calling the shots wouldn’t be at the front shouting about it. He’d be the one you don’t expect.

A lot of movies are made, but because they come to film festivals and your movie doesn’t get bought by a studio or a distributor, your movie doesn’t get seen.

There’s a really classic cliche every time you switch the TV on – you see cops arguing. I have spent a day a week for many years in the presence of police and I have...

Also the fact that anything he does is seen and heard by the entire country, not just his actual audience or those who live in the region he happens to be in.

She saw too that man has the power of exceeding himself, of becoming himself more entirely and profoundly than he is, truths which have only recently begun to be seen in Europe and seem even...

I’ve seen people who come to work say, ‘No, I’m doing it this way, and that’s that.’ I’m the opposite – I like being out of my element; it’s where I like to live.

I have hardly seen my baby for six weeks; have been at the office from nine A.M. to eleven P.M. regularly.

When you do well in a movie that’s seen as really great, you’re revitalized for six weeks.

The scariest movie I have ever seen, and my favorite horror film is, ‘The Exorcist.’ It is a must-see horror/thriller classic. I watch it every couple of years.

There’s a certain logic to systems, and that logic is fairly self-evident. It’s very straightforward, usually. It might take a little research, it might take a little bit of industry to prize it out, but...

Land began to be seen as something to be owned privately and exploited for private interests, and never was entirely reconciled with the old ideas that land should be utilized in common for the good...

You see something happen to a population whereby everyone adopts something that’s just preposterous in a way that makes it normal instantly. If any one person prior to the rash of puka shells, for example,...

I’ve seen, not surprisingly, no action taken against those people, but here I am, an anarchist website, not even close to what that is, not even close to what else you can find on the...

We have seen a strong increase in oil prices and up to this year we see that the world has been able to absorb that.

Yes, I am transgendered but I also am a cross-dresser – I dress as a woman. It’s not that I just want to be seen as a female in our society, I’m also a drag...

The greatest comedian I’ve ever seen is Jack Benny. He wasn’t afraid of the silences.

It was widespread that the politics of Tea Party people would be foreign to Ronald Reagan and they would be seen by him as frivolous and uninformed.

America’s Facebook generation shows a submission to standardization that I haven’t seen before. The American adventure has always been about people forgetting their former selves – Samuel Clemens became Mark Twain, Jack Kerouac went on...

Without competition, the spectacular development of technology that we have seen in the last one hundred years in this country would not have happened.

I have seen the day, when, if a man made himself ridiculous, the world would laugh at him. But now, everything that is mean, disgusting, and absurd, pleases them but so much the better!

I’ve always been into the horror genre, so I’ve seen a lot of movies with ghosts and supernatural stuff.

There has been a cultural shift. It is difficult to measure all that right now, but Chilean women have seen my presidency as a source of pride. Women are performing in jobs in Chile now...

These mountains appear to be almost entirely composed of stratas of rock of various colours (mostly red) and are partially covered with a dwarfish growth of pine and cedar, which are the only species of...

I’ve seen how much effort has to go into a tour, the performance and also how to look after yourself, not just physically, but mentally too.

The director’s task is to recreate life, its movement, its contradictions, its dynamic and conflicts. It is his duty to reveal every iota of the truth he has seen, even if not everyone finds that...

Silicon Valley is constantly saying that the government is irrelevant and powerless. But that’s because most people there have never seen it get serious.

I think this is the sweetest tribute I have ever seen in this town.

I have never seen a player as driven and determined as me, quietly determined; that’s why I always want to do the best.

I feel old and vulnerable. I now realise that I knew nothing and know nothing, but back when my career was beginning, I thought I was a man when, in fact, I was a dewy-eyed...

Middle-class Pakistani cultural life is what I’ve seen, what I know – they’re not all screaming faceless mullahs. It’s disturbing that in American films, the character on the other side is not even named.

There are people who appear in the magazines and I don’t know who they are. I’ve never seen anything they’ve done and their careers are over already. They’re famous for maybe 10 minutes. Real careers,...

The President, the Administration and the campaign need a theme. I am concerned that the President is seen as a tactician without an overall strategy of his plan for the country.

I got ‘Delhi Belly’ and ‘Badmaash Company’ because people from the production house had seen my stand-up comic acts in a DVD that was lying in their offices. It’s been a weird journey, and I...

A really great actor, in a lucky performance, can transform himself or herself. I’ve seen actors do that. But often it’s a mechanical transformation, which isn’t as interesting, and you’ve got to be careful how...

I’ve never seen a moon in the sky that, if it didn’t take my breath away, at least misplaced it for a moment.

I studied audio engineering at university. The background I am from, music was never seen as a viable career; it was always a hobby.

Because I’m seen on ‘Oz’, a lot of the urban cats in the city are like, ‘Yo, I thought you’d be rolling in a Mercedes?’ And I’m just like, ‘Not at all!’ This is cable...

If we’re in a bubble, it’s the weirdest bubble I’ve ever seen, where everybody hates everything.

When there wasn’t any money involved, for all intents and purposes, nobody gave a damn. But now the land, supposedly worthless, is seen for what it really is: an incredibly valuable asset.

Modern politicians like Cameron dream of exerting paternal influence without being seen as paternalistic, of fostering moral behaviour without being considered moralistic.

I think what helps me is that delegations of all sizes – the small, the medium, the large, the largest – they all have seen me in action. They all have seen me unlocking blockages,...

I generally sell my records online or at the show. You can undersell the distributor and the stores, and people know what they’re getting cause they’ve just seen you live.

People who have seen me read usually come up afterwards and invite me to be a part of something.

In 1957, with the arms race in full swing, the Department of Defense had decided it was just a matter of time before an airplane transporting an atomic bomb would crash on American soil, unleashing...

Too often, older women are seen as victims, but I know lots of formidable women who have marvellous jobs as well as a full erotic life, and children and friends and family.

Going out in Paris was like going out in the ’30s dressed like the Andrews Sisters. It was everything I’d seen in books at my grandparents’ house, only it was our generation.

It’s only I have seen enough of it and the funny thing is now, I know that I’m skinny, because I know there are even smaller clothes in the store. I think I’m big, when...

I’m an incurable romantic, and Casablanca’s one of the most romantic pictures I’ve ever seen – the combination of Bogart and Bergman is just magical.

Millions of people are married. I’ve never picked up a paper and seen a headline that says, Man Gets Married!

A lot of critics are lazy. They don’t want to look closely and analyze something for what it is. They take a quick first impression and then rush to compare it to something they’ve seen...
