You see guys going up to girls in bars and saying, 'Oh, can I show you a trick?' It's a tool. I find it kind of sad; it breaks my heart a little bit. They should try to use their own personalities. It sort of smacks of using magic as a crutch, which is not what it should be.
~ Keith Barry
Every time somebody tries to go in and reinvent what we do, it always ends up being more about technology and sets, and flash and dash, forgetting the main thing, which is interesting people saying interesting, important things.
~ Diane Sawyer
My mom was always saying: 'Be whatever you want to be, but stick with it. Don't waver. Don't change who you are for anybody.'
~ Miranda Lambert
When you can impress your mom by saying you've been to someone's concert, you know you're pretty lame.
~ Gillian Jacobs
I remember watching the Grammys and looking at the performances and crying to my mom, saying how much I wanted to be there.
~ Christina Aguilera
What I'm thinking about more and more these days is simply the importance of transparency, and Jefferson's saying that he'd rather have a free press without a government than a government without a free press.
~ Esther Dyson
I've always been fond of the saying that when it comes to oversight and reform, the federal government does two things well: nothing and overreact.
~ Darrell Issa
Our solution on 'The Simpsons' is to do jokes that people who have an education, or some frame of reference, can get. And for the ones who don't, it doesn't matter, because we have Homer banging his head and saying, 'D'oh!'
~ Matt Groening
A short saying often contains much wisdom.
~ Sophocles
Almost every wise saying has an opposite one, no less wise, to balance it.

There's a real wisdom to not saying a thing.
~ Willem Dafoe
Don't go around saying the world owes you a living. The world owes you nothing. It was here first.
~ Mark Twain
I've been successful in different areas, but nothing brings a smile to my face more than my oldest son, Zaire, and my second son, Zion, saying the kind word of 'Dad.'
~ Dwyane Wade
What I'd really like to write is a romantic comedy. This is my favorite kind of movie. I feel almost embarrassed revealing this, because the genre has been so degraded in the past twenty years that saying you like romantic comedies is essentially an admission of mild stupidity.
~ Mindy Kaling
In terms of romantic films, all-time romantic films, I really like 'Gone With the Wind.' And I realize I sound so cliched saying that, but there's something so absolutely romantic about it.
~ Freida Pinto
Clearly romantic comedy is my franchise genre, I don't mind saying that, it's true. I love doing them and hopefully always will do them.
~ Meg Ryan
Anyone working for a big company might be skeptical that a large business, or even a strictly online business, can form the same kind of friendly, loyal relationship with customers as a local retailer. I'm saying it's already been done because I lived it.
~ Gary Vaynerchuk
No relationship works without making an effort. That goes without saying. But you should never overcompensate.
~ Sonam Kapoor
I couldn't be in a relationship and behave like somebody else or pretend I felt something I didn't feel. And that includes saying things I thought might jeopardize the relationship.
~ Kenny Loggins
I have nothing to say, I am saying it, and that is poetry.
~ John Cage
Often people, when they're confronted with a poem, it's like someone who keep saying 'what is the meaning of this? What is the meaning of this?' And that dulls us to the other pleasures poetry offers.
~ Billy Collins
For most Americans, poetry plays no role in their everyday lives. But also for most Americans, contemporary painting or jazz or sculpture play no role either. I'm not saying poetry is singled out as a special thing to ignore.
If you get down and quarell everyday, you're saying prayers to the devil, I say.
~ Bob Marley
My whole life, people have been saying, Why are you so angry?
~ Fiona Apple
If somebody honks a horn in Cleveland, they're saying 'Hi.' It's so rare to be honked at in anger. When we have merging traffic, we just interweave. There's real courtesy.
~ Mary Doria Russell
Us investigators who went out into the field were faced on occasion with a lot of anger, by people saying why has it taken you five or six year to come and see me?
~ Tony Greig
I suffer panic attacks which has made me really conscious about my fitness and I have become addicted to jogging. It might sound odd but a lot of good has come out of it. My fans send letters saying they have taken up jogging because I do it.
~ Ellie Goulding
There's an old saying, this too shall pass, and change is good.
~ Joe Lando
We're all living blinkered lives, and we're not seeing what's going on and looking to change it. I'm not saying that everyone has to make a political statement, but we need to be more aware of what's happening and why.
~ Samantha Morton
In my songs, I'm not saying something that's never been said before. The have lyrics aren't going to blow people away. It's the emotion and the melody that drive it home.
~ Bruno Mars
It was a show that you played at home and you're saying to the contestant do this and do that. When you at home are involved in yelling at the screen, then you know you've got an audience.
~ Monty Hall
I'm not saying that there's anything better than mated bliss at its best, but I'm saying that living alone is as good in its own way. But we haven't quite given ourselves permission to recognize that.
~ Barbara Feldon
If there's anything worse than a woman living alone, it's a woman saying she likes it.
~ Thelma Ritter
Opponents of legal birth control, including abortion, have tried for decades to play the race card, saying that legal abortion is racist. What they ignore is that Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. accepted the Margaret Sanger Award from Planned Parenthood in 1966.
~ Karen Decrow
They seem to have forgotten that, and are back saying the only purpose of P2P networks is for illegal trading of owned goods. We claim part of the reason for P2P is for legal trading of what ought to be in public domain. And what is in public domain in many cases.
~ John Perry Barlow
Saying that you don't care about the right to privacy because you have nothing to hide is no different than saying you don't care about freedom of speech because you have nothing to say.
~ Jean-Michel Jarre
Civility is not not saying negative or harsh things. It is not the absence of critical analysis. It is the manner in which we are sharing this territorial freedom of political discussion. If our discourse is yelled and screamed and interrupted and patronized, that's uncivil.
~ Richard Dreyfuss
As a teenager, I developed a great interest in not only horse breeding but also horse racing and used to bet based on red-hot tips. I realized that becoming a bookmaker would be very lucrative, but Dad put his foot down, saying it was an inappropriate career.
~ Cyrus S. Poonawalla
I recall my dad saying about me once that the only time he'd ever heard me say 'never' was when I was asked if I'd had enough.
~ Bob Diamond

~ Gordon Brown
