When somebody tells you they’re not very smart, they’re saying exactly the opposite.

I’d heard he was good, and what the hell sense does it make not to hire somebody because of their color?

What if nothing exists and we’re all in somebody’s dream?

I had a little epiphany when I was a writer at ‘Chicago’ magazine. I sat down to dinner at the Ritz-Carlton. Somebody poured a white dessert wine with chocolate cake. It was a wine I would never have expected to make sense. The idea of any wine tasting fabulous with chocolate cake was fascinating to...

Knowing that I make somebody’s day better is all that matters at the end of the day.

You don’t have to be poor to need something or somebody.

What happens often – although I’m not particularly a victim of this sort of thing – is that somebody will make a quote, or invent a remark and it gets printed, ends up on the ‘net and it becomes currency. And some of them are so bizarre!

Give One, Get One generated about 100,000 zero-dollar laptops. Somebody else paid for them, but from the recipient’s point of view, that’s zero.

I have a sweet tooth. I love dessert, and if somebody makes me one, I’m going to have it.

I gotta tell you, I don’t have many close friends, and if I do wind up making friends with somebody, it takes me a long time, usually.

This rap game is just WWF; everybody wants points off somebody else.

If you believe in yourself, somebody will find you that believes in you just as much, if not more.

For me, it’s important that a fan can buy something that is related to me. Like in soccer, you buy a shirt and it’s got somebody’s name on the back. That’s kind of a cool thing.

There’s room for everybody on the planet to be creative and conscious if you are your own person. If you’re trying to be like somebody else, then there is isn’t.

If you’re already somebody who’s feeling different, you’ll do everything in your power to fix it because children will do everything in their power to fit in and assimilate.

I was in Milan, and somebody gave me a Trussardi diary, and I thought ‘Genius.’ Inside I put the Polaroids, how much film I shot, who I shot with. This way, for billing later on, I had all the information.

I’m the kind of person who just can’t wait to get on a train and not know where I’m going. I definitely want to live life to the fullest. And that’s the type of man I’m attracted to – somebody with that spontaneous spirit.

Love is as strict as acting. If you want to love somebody, stand there and do it. If you don’t, don’t. There are no other choices.

You need that pride in yourself, as well as a sense, when you are sitting on Page 297 of a book, that the book is going to be read, that somebody is going to care. You can’t ever be sure about that, but you need the sense that it’s important, that it’s not typing; it’s...

I think marrying somebody who’s not a celebrity, it just takes a lot of the pressure off.

It’s better to be a fake somebody than a real nobody.

I’m very Southern in the way I walk in the world. I love to laugh. I love to eat. I love to hug people. But if somebody makes me mad, my neck may roll. I can be aggressive with a Southern twang.

Finding a soulmate is an easy adventure, but the difficult part admist the game is finding your kind of person.

For better or for worse, I’ve watched people die in front of me. I see how they are in the end. And they’re not cynical. In the end, they wanna hold somebody’s hand. And that’s real to me.

When someone puts an end to something, it doesn’t mean that he gave up, it means that thing is not taking him anywhere.

Being isolated and on-location can be helpful in terms of being completely dedicated to the work, but somebody like me can also be dangerous in terms of this intense sort of void that you kind of potentially fall into.

I’ve never particularly liked travelling with large groups or being told where to go by somebody else. I prefer to find out for myself.

You see people in the left lane, and as long as they are on the speed limit, they stay there. Get in the right lane and let people pass you – let the police worry about somebody who wants to speed. Don’t force them pass in the right lane and zig zag, which can create...

For somebody who loves foreign policy, being Secretary is the best job in the world – but it doesn’t happen twice.

If you hate somebody, it’s like a boomerang that misses its target and comes back and hits you in the head. The one who hates is the one who hurts.

Typically what happens is, somebody drags an idea from the past that worked in an old set of logics that they try to apply to the new one. And it doesn’t work.

I’ve never been one for keeping a journal, so my songs were my journals. They allowed me to express my feelings and let people know what was going on with me. I knew that somebody would relate.

It’s hard being a hostage in somebody else’s mouth – or a character in somebody else’s novel.

Sometimes it’s literally just a feeling that you get that somebody is more interested than someone else; and they may both say they’re interested, but you get a feeling.

Well, I – all cases to me have interest. Every case is important to somebody, the people litigating that case. But the most difficult case for me is the case where one person says a, the other person says b, and you just don’t know for certain who is not telling you the truth.

I tell young people that people aren’t just going to flock to you as your mentors. You have to seek them out. It could be your next-door neighbor; it could be somebody upstairs from you, somebody down the block from you. An aunt or an uncle. Some relative. A parent.

We’re both accustomed to being the center of attention. We’re both accustomed to being spoiled by the people around us. And we don’t expect to have to compete with somebody for all of that.

For instance, why are we terrorizing this country, leading with murder and mayhem, when crime is actually on the decline, as somebody, as somebody mentioned?

Did somebody dream there is some way that the government doesn’t need us?

I love coming home to somebody, I love being in a relationship.

It’s more useful to have someone fear you than respect you.

I actually think in some ways that it might be more challenging to be bipolar because it’s so mercurial – it’s so ever-changing. You can’t get any traction. You can’t build on a system. Whereas, somebody who has Asperger’s, which is certainly a much more forgiving expression of autism, can create models for coping and...

I think the American people deserve somebody telling them what is really happening in Washington.

No one wants a domain with their name on it owned by somebody else.

You can’t beat somebody with nobody.

If somebody wants to kill people, they don’t need a gun to do it.

It’s sometimes better to pretend I don’t hear the sound of somebody in the nearby woods with a shotgun.

I have to say I have never been comfortable with somebody else telling me what to do – in any way.

If you are a friend of somebody and that friend is in trouble, you don’t just drop them.

I’m a very loyal person and I allowed myself to be defined as somebody who was doing Gordon’s bidding. I should have fought back harder to define myself at an earlier stage.
