Part

Total Quotes : 2932
Mind Confined

There are many who lust for the simple answers of doctrine or decree. They are on the left and right. They are not confined to a single part of the society. They are terrorists of the mind.

- A. Philip Randolph

Works WWE

I busted my tail for so long, I'm just glad it's getting recognized now as part of the WWE. Because let's face it, the WWE is the biggest company out there when it comes to wrestling. I'm just happy that I'm being recognized as somebody who works hard, I guess.

- A.J. Styles

Scientific Been

Upset Rumors

You always have to be on at times, and occasionally people get upset if you say no to a picture when you're eating dinner or something, and that's kind of the hard part. Or if you get crazy rumors that swirl around you from time to time that are just silly.

- Aaron Rodgers

Values Extension

When it comes to setting the market values, I let that stuff take care of itself. I know my value in this league, and I know the team appreciates me. I'm going to continue to make myself an indispensable part of this roster. When you do that, when your time comes up to get a contract, you usually get a contract extension.

- Aaron Rodgers

Work Set

My way of getting the best from people on a set is to notice their work, to make every prop master, every seamstress, part of 'The Newsroom' or 'The West Wing' or 'Steve Jobs.'

- Aaron Sorkin

It's nice to know when you're a part of a story, it's nice to know at least something about the beginning, middle, and end.

- Aaron Stanford

Beginning Geniuses

I always used to watch 'The Daily Show,' and there were all these comedic geniuses there. I didn't know if I was going to be hired full time or not. At the beginning, I was sort of hired as a part time, on and off guy. When I first got hired - it was August 2006 - and I was working on and off, and they'd call me whenever.

- Aasif Mandvi

I Think Bit

I definitely started to perform a little bit in middle school, but not the typical musical/play route. I think that I am funny, but it was more of a social thing, where that was my part in my circle of friends.

- Abbi Jacobson

Believe Innocent

If you believe that the killing of innocent people is right, then you are not part of my future.

The political, social, and spiritual impact of the life example set by Nelson Rolihlahla Mandela might be measured in part by the profound and unique gestures made by people in different countries to honor his life upon learning of his death.

- Aberjhani

Best Atmosphere

Movie-making is serious business. The director and the crew are already under a lot of pressure to give their best to the audience. Therefore, the best part for me as an actor is to act well in the movies and make a jolly atmosphere with the co-stars on the sets.

- Abhishek Bachchan

Think Named

Remember that the word of God is not sent to particular persons, as if by name; and do not think you have no part in it, because you are not named there.

- Adam Giles

Soul Crushing

If I had the day off and knew everyone else was voting, I wouldn't miss it. It would become a routine part of my responsibility as a citizen - like paying taxes, only less soul crushing.

- Adam Grant

London Werewolf

My earliest memories of horror are 'Friday the 13th Part 2,' John Carpenter's 'The Thing,' 'Halloween,' 'An American Werewolf in London,' and 'A Nightmare On Elm Street'... and 'Hatchet' is so obviously inspired by those films that I may as well have made it in 1984.

- Adam Green

Overcome Reason

Everything doesn't happen for a reason, if by this we mean evil is a part of God's plan. But God does ensure that evil will not prevail and that light will always, ultimately, overcome the darkness. If we follow God's lead, our work is to push back the darkness.

- Adam Hamilton

Elementary School

The senseless killing of 20 children and their teachers and principal at Sandy Hook Elementary School was not part of God's grand plan. It was a thwarting of God's plan. It was the misuse of human freedom.

- Adam Hamilton

Mood Feel

If someone is sad, they put on a song, or if someone wants to rock out, and they want to get into a good mood, they put on music. Just being able to be a part of something like that I feel like was my ultimate push to do music.

- Adam Hicks

Thought Song

I never thought 'Stairway to Heaven' was a long song. I loved how there was this part and then there was another part that was completely different.

Technology Bernard

Bernard Tyson, CEO of Kaiser Permanente, sees technology as an augmentation to current healing tools - but not a replacement for human kindness, an integral part of healthcare.

- Adam Lashinsky

Interesting Also

Graffiti has an interesting relationship to the broader world of hip-hop: It's part of the culture, but also in a weird way a stepchild of the culture.

- Adam Mansbach

Kid Frustrated

We had a kid. The kid was awesome. She didn't fall asleep easily. We complained about it. We got frustrated. But we didn't look for an out. We just accepted that this was part of parenting.

Fifty Most

What a man knows at fifty that he did not know at twenty is for the most part incommunicable.

- Adlai E. Stevenson

Rewarding Very

As a musician, to be part of anything that promotes peace is very rewarding.

- Adnan Sami

Small Very

Does it follow that the house has nothing in common with art and is architecture not to be included in the arts? Only a very small part of architecture belongs to art: the tomb and the monument. Everything else that fulfils a function is to be excluded from the domain of art.

- Adolf Loos

Villain Had

It was my mustache that landed jobs for me. In those silent-film days it was the mark of a villain. When I realized they had me pegged as a foreign nobleman type I began to live the part, too. I bought a pair of white spats, an ascot tie and a walking stick.

- Adolphe Menjou

Career Superhero

It's a strange thing to be a so-called alternative cartoonist, because in the early part of my career, I was really tethered to the superhero world.

- Adrian Tomine

While Huge Fan

In general, daily strips were just a regular part of my childhood. So even if I wasn't a huge fan of most of those strips, I still read them religiously every morning while I ate my cereal.

- Adrian Tomine

Invest Roles

The hardest thing as an actor is that you work really hard constantly for these roles, and you invest so much in it. And when they don't come to fruition and nobody sees them, there's a part of you that dies a little bit. It's like, 'Ah! But I worked so hard!' But that's the business.

- Adrianne Palicki

Political Hop

I'd like to see people pay attention to the science of hip hop. The knowledge part, the political side of what hip hop could do, or where hip hop is gonna go. I always say it's gonna become universal as we become a galactic union.

- Afrika Bambaataa

Made Hop

How you act, walk, look and talk is all part of Hip Hop culture. And the music is colorless. Hip Hop music is made from Black, brown, yellow, red and white.

- Afrika Bambaataa

Disco Rap

House, rap, R&B, disco rock, they are all part of hip-hop culture. Why you ain't playing Kraftwerk along with Jay-Z? That's hip-hop.

- Afrika Bambaataa

Culture Rap

When you talk about rap you have to understand that rap is part of the Hip-Hop culture.

- Afrika Bambaataa

Fact Occupation

Nature Springs

Laughter springs from the lawless part of our nature.

- Agnes Repplier

Past Qualified

As someone from, and directly involved with, this part of the world, I am convinced Arabs are qualified to regain their glorious past.

- Ahmed Zewail

Going Before

I don't really differentiate between different genres: if there's a good part going, I'll go after it, and it's preferable to me if it's something I haven't done before.

- Aidan Gillen

About Unpleasant

I suppose there are actors who are worried about their public image. But I've never had any trouble playing unpleasant characters. It is only a part. Which is why you do it -because you are interested in exploring something you never could or would be.

- Aidan Gillen

Screen Ensemble

When you're part of an ensemble and share the screen with so many people, you become close to them because you're hanging out all the time. Obviously you have your ups and downs, but that kind of brings you closer in many ways.

- Aidan Turner

Cell Phones Idea

The idea of prosthetics is a tool. Most people's cell phones are prosthetics. If you leave your cell phone at home, you feel impacted by not having it. It's an important part of your daily function and what you can do in a day.

- Aimee Mullins

Reason About

Part of the reason I wanted to model was to push the boundaries and challenge the perceptions of what a beautiful body is supposed to look like. Why should I feel any differently about looking good than anyone else?

- Aimee Mullins

Drama Whole

I was never part of that cliquey girl drama. Most of my friends were guys growing up, so I was never part of that whole toxic energy. It seemed like way too much hassle.

- Aimee Teegarden

Know Happen

If something was to happen to part of my family, I don't know what I'd do.

- Aisha Hinds

Love Believe

I don't believe in superheroes but I love Batman movies. There's a part of every person that is entertained by the idealistic, the fantastic.

- Aisha Tyler

Person Idealistic

There's a part of every person that is entertained by the idealistic, the fantastic.

- Aisha Tyler

Never Believed

I have never believed in being part of any one group or camp.

- Akshay Kumar

Mistakes Least

Mistakes are a part of being human. Appreciate your mistakes for what they are: precious life lessons that can only be learned the hard way. Unless it's a fatal mistake, which, at least, others can learn from.

- Al Franken

Year Dad

My dad didn't graduate from high school, ended up being a printing salesman, probably never made more than $8,000 a year. My mom sold real estate and did it part time.

- Al Franken

Some Rather

I'm part of the mushball middle. I consider 'confused' the majority position because, thankfully, most people would rather be uncertain some of the time than 100% positive all the time - even when they're wrong.

- Al Franken

Play Church

What I try to get beyond is playing music at people and, instead, to play music with people because audience members are constantly part of the experience. What they say in their body language, what they say in their eyes, what they sing with me... it's an 'us,' and there's a communication that's like... it's like church, man.

- Al Jarreau

About Disrupted

Playing a character is an illusion, and I feel that when you know too much about a person, possibly part of that illusion is disrupted.

- Al Pacino

About Before

I just started running as part of a nutrition program, to just get a little cardio in, but I was not a runner per se before that. I started about March 1 of 2010.

- Al Roker

Impact Been

I have not been part of an active counterculture movement, as it is not the approach that I have personally pursued to create a qualitatively beneficial and meaningful impact on society.

- Al Seckel

Approach Been

I have not been part of an active counterculture movement, as it is not the approach that I have personally pursued to create a qualitatively beneficial and meaningful impact on society. Perhaps, my belief is along the old saying that 'it is always better to light one candle than to curse the darkness.'

- Al Seckel

Achievement About

Laughter is an important part of a good relationship. It's an immense achievement when you can move from your thinking that your partner is merely an idiot to thinking that they are that wonderfully complex thing called a loveable idiot. And often that means having a little bit of a sense of humour about their flaws.

- Alain de Botton

Journey Think

I do think that travel can be part of a journey of inner maturation, but you've got to do it right.

- Alain de Botton

Play Big

I don't really worry about the size of the part much any more. It's nice to have more time to work on the character, and to have big scenes to play. But if there's something playable there, and if it's interesting to do, then that's nice.

- Alan Alda

Play About

I don't care about names attached to the script. That doesn't matter to me. All things being equal, I would like to work with a good script with a good director, and the part I play is of less important than those two factors.

- Alan Arkin

Got Add

Things have got to add up to 100 points. The script is part of it, the character is part of it, the people I'm working with is the third part of it - and any combination of the three has got to add up to 100 points.

- Alan Arkin

Feel Some

All I can say is if the part doesn't delight me in some way, or I can't feel any compassion for it, I just can't do it.

- Alan Arkin

Ideal Would

What are you accepting that would not be a part of your ideal day?

- Alan Cohen

Becoming Larger

I have a cell phone that doesn't behave like a phone: It behaves like a computer that makes calls. Computers are becoming an integral part of daily life. And if people don't start designing them to be more user-friendly, then an even larger part of the population is going to be left out of even more stuff.

- Alan Cooper

Feel Homeland

I come more to Scotland than I ever used to, so I feel more connected to it, more part of the zeitgeist. You know when you realize you have a choice and I'm choosing my homeland. It's funny: when you get older these things creep up to you.

- Alan Cumming

Jewish Settlements

I believe that if Israel were to put an end to the settlements in the West Bank tomorrow, as it did in Gaza, there would still be reluctance on the part of the Palestinian Authority to recognize Israel's right to exist as a Jewish secular democracy.

- Alan Dershowitz

I Think Been

I really was a fan of his and always have been - his writing especially, you know? I think people a lot of times overlook that part, because he kind of got into that party character so heavy.

- Alan Jackson

Decide Approach

I approach every part I'm asked to do and decide to do from exactly the same angle: who is this person, what does he want, how does he attempt to get it, and what happens to him when he doesn't get it, or if he does?

- Alan Rickman

Embody Weird Thing

Film has to be reflecting the world that we live in, and that's all you want to be a part of. Actors inhabit the same planet as everyone else. It's a weird thing that happens when you're an actor because people hold you up because you somehow embody in parts groups of people or people's hopes or something.

- Alan Rickman

Knew Least

When I started working with NASA in 1989 as part of a mission to send spacecraft to Pluto, I knew it would take at least 10-15 years to see results of my efforts.

- Alan Stern

Dress Want

If I went to a regular job, if I was a secretary or something, I'd want to look good. I'd dress up for that part.

- Alana Blanchard

Woman Been

When someone says that I'm angry it's actually a compliment. I have not always been direct with my anger in my relationships, which is part of why I'd write about it in my songs because I had such fear around expressing anger as a woman.

- Alanis Morissette

Small Favorite Part

My favorite part of my appearance is my height. I'm five foot one and I feel feminine being small.

- Alanna Ubach

Voice Muse

It's funny: in the middle of making 'The Muse,' I was offered, at the time, the first 'Ice Age,' the part that Ray Romano took: I was offered the elephant. And I couldn't even stop to breathe, so I didn't do it. They've made, like, six of them. And in the animation business, for a voice actor, that's what you want. You want six, you know?

- Albert Brooks

Best Grades

When I went to acting school, the kids that got the best grades were the kids that could cry on cue. But it didn't really translate into careers for any of them, because the external is the easy part.

- Albert Brooks

Need Solving

If you paint, write, do mosaics, knit - if it's solving that part of your brain saying, 'I need to do this,' you've won.

- Albert Brooks

Been Many

How many people didn't get a part who would have been better than the person who got the part? Thousands.

- Albert Brooks

Next Ease

In the course of my movies, the financing and the releasing were always the tough part. Because I loved the creative; I loved the writing. I loved the making of it. Because, I guess, I never had the giant blockbuster, I never got that sort of ease for the next one.

- Albert Brooks

Myself Separate

Conscious of not being able to separate myself from my time, I have decided to become part of it.

- Albert Camus

Some Banks

And $18 million in three Japanese banks, completely false. That I have two factories in Panama, also completely false. This is part of the counter campaign of some people.

- Alberto Fujimori

Thought Made

I really enjoyed my time in state government. I thought we made a difference. I liked being a part of that effort. I had a different experience in Washington.

- Alberto Gonzales

Good Telling

I really think that movies are the most popular form of story telling ever and have such a huge impact on culture when they do. So I really want to be a part of those movies that say something good to a lot of people.

- Alden Ehrenreich

North Charities

When I first started working with World Vision, I would sit down and talk with them about issues that concern any part of the world. MSF told me about what was going on in North Korea. I also support AIDS and breast cancer charities.

- Alek Wek

Birthday Been

I've been a Nick Cave fan since the early '80s when he was part of The Birthday Party thing singing Australian self-destructive rock band and I've always followed his work and loved it.

- Aleksandar Hemon

Legs Guess

My favourite part... I guess it's my legs.

- Alessandra Ambrosio

Research Sometimes

The research period of a film is the most exciting part of the process, and filming is sometimes a letdown because when you're dealing with biopic material, the real thing is always much more intricate than the story told in the film.

- Alessandro Nivola

Within Commercial

The most distinguishing element of my novels is that I try as hard as I can - within the context of a popular commercial thriller - to make them feel authentic. Drawing on real locations and real events is part of that authenticity.

- Alex Berenson

Very Edward

Even with, or perhaps, because of, this background, I have over the past few years sensed a very dramatic change in attitude on the part of Prince Edward Islanders towards the on-going rush for so-called modernization.

- Alex Campbell

Life My Life

For the better part of my life, I was always trying to manufacture somehow what I would consider 'living.' Because I grew up sort of upper-middle class and I didn't relate so much to that as a life, and I wanted to really find 'living.'

- Alex Ebert
