Someone

A high-brow is someone who looks at a sausage and thinks of Picasso.

If someone tried to deprive you of your rights, you've got to resist it. You've got to resent it. You've got to fight against it.

I can't think of anything worse than trying to schmooze someone with the idea that you're an actor.

When Obama was first proposed as a presidential candidate in 2007, the nation failed to have a meaningful debate concerning the serious constitutional issue of electing someone whose father was not a U.S. citizen.

Cambridge was the place for someone from the Colonies or the Dominions to go on to, and it was to the Cavendish Laboratory that one went to do physics.

I know the fact that I was born means I have to die, so my only aim is to reach out and help someone along the way.

I'm going to scream this from the mountain top, there's no such thing as 'a curry.' There's six kazillion different kinds of curry. When someone asks how to make chicken curry, I have to ask 'Which one?'

If you don't acknowledge differences, it's as bad as stereotyping or reducing someone.

You can't achieve anything without getting in someone's way.

Someone like Amy Poehler, I don't know, but I feel like I know her. I think everyone feels like they know her.

I'm someone who likes plowing new ground, then walking away from it. I get bored easily. For me, the big thrill comes with the discovering.

I can't even read notes. But I can teach someone how to make a guitar smoke.

I guess I am a rapper. It's weird to be called that, or tell someone that's your profession.

You can make a hit song in 15 minutes. I don't know about someone else's song, but songs that people like of mine, I've created in 15 minutes or less.

The idea of it becomes a little freaky if you're dealing with someone who has trouble differentiating between fantasy and reality, but that's a concern no matter what kind of movie you're dealing with.

I was having an argument with my stepfather, and he was like, 'Why don't you join the Marine Corps?' And I was like, 'Noooo! Well, maybe, actually... ' I went and saw the recruiter, who was like, 'Are you on the run from the cops? Because we've never had someone want to leave so fast.'

When I read for 'Girls,' I was like, 'The script says 'Handsome Carpenter,' so someone else is going to get the part. They'll have someone handsome, not me.'

When so much money is involved in these movies, someone somewhere is going to try to screw you.

That's a comic cover's job: Attract someone's attention and persuade them to try the issue out.

So pretty much, to sum it up, if you can freak someone out and bring that kind of emotion out of somebody with a song, you're doing something right.

When we talk about communities, we seldom discuss the margins. But for every person nestled comfortably in the bosom of a community, there is someone else on the outskirts, feeling ambivalent. Ambiguous. Excluded. Unwilling or unable to come more fully into the fold.

If someone busted into your house and robbed you, would you then forgive them if you found out they were a veteran? Of course not. So why are we forgiving McCain for selling out his country by supporting the Bush agenda?

The hardest thing in the world to do is to have someone in a seat in a theater laughing so hard that they're making weird sounds.

Anytime I audition for something, it's always a question of whether or not the people I'm auditioning for understand I'm an improviser and I like to do that, and if they like that or if they just want someone who's going to do what's written.

What's the worst that could happen? You're going to come second or lose? It's not like someone has got a gun to your head.

Hardcover and paperback forever. Someone carve that into a tree.

I'm scared of audiences. One show in Amsterdam I was so nervous, I escaped out the fire exit. I've thrown up a couple of times. Once in Brussels, I projectile vomited on someone. I just gotta bear it. But I don't like touring. I have anxiety attacks a lot.

An editor is someone who separates the wheat from the chaff and then prints the chaff.

An Independent is someone who wants to take the politics out of politics.

I thought I might be a band instructor, someone who plays all the instruments and teaches others.

When you're used to seeing someone being coldly efficient on court and suddenly they go on stage and into your world - it's fascinating.

When you love someone, and you've lost that one, then nothing really matters.

What is social proof? Put simply, it's the positive influence created when someone finds out that others are doing something. It's also known as informational social influence.

When I was a kid, it wasn't very often that I could go to the movies and see an entire movie carried on the shoulders of someone who looked like me.

True beauty is when someone radiates that they like themselves.

Whether it is your height, your weight or your skin, someone is going to pick on something and make fun of it. My legs were just a more obvious target.

I was with someone at 19, and I was married at 23, and I didn't want kids when I was in my 20s.

If you have an embarrassing story, and it's a source of shame, keeping it in just compounds the shame and turns the story into something poisonous. And if someone knows about it, then it can be used against you.

My hair routine is to let someone else do it.

If somebody had started on a remake of French Kiss before I announced my own film, I would have dropped my subject. If someone else starts after me, what am I to do?

Any place that anyone can learn something useful from someone with experience is an educational institution.

If someone hacks your password, you can change it - as many times as you want.

You don't need any indictment in order to arrest someone, probable cause is sufficient to arrest civilians, so it must be enough to arrest police.

In the early days of love sometimes, you will report an ecstatic feeling you have met someone who seems to understand you without you needing to speak.

The best cure for one's bad tendencies is to see them fully developed in someone else.

When I see someone like Richard Dawkins, I see my father. I grew up with that. I'm basically the child of Richard Dawkins.

Those who have known the famous are publicly debriefed of their memories, knowing as their own dusk falls that they will only be remembered for remembering someone else.

You can only see in someone else what you see in yourself.

In one book, CACHALOT, just for my own amusement, every character is based directly on someone I have known.

The idea that someone is going to write me, and I'm not going to answer - I was just raised not to do that. We are the result of our upbringing, and my upbringing was very much to meet obligations... You just didn't let things go.

The ability to absorb a book and make someone else's words and story your own was exactly was I was doing on stage.

I just want to make pictures that are entertaining. I'll leave the scenery chewing to someone else.

When I was a kid, a policeman was someone you looked up to and respected.

Writers are born, not made. We can hone the craft. We need to try to encourage someone and make a dialogue, suggesting ways to do something differently or how to improve.

Breakups are a horrible thing for almost everybody I know. For someone who is a love addict, it's debilitating.

It's when someone has an agenda of their own for the record that it doesn't work for me.

I'd still like to see 'Survivor' minus the planned show-biz parts. That would be the purest form of show business - I want to see someone so hungry that they eat somebody else's foot.

If I'm going to act in someone's movie, I want the movie to be interesting and be able to get a couple of solid doubles.

My friend Harry Nilsson used to say the definition of an artist was someone who rode way ahead of the herd and was sort of the lookout. Now you don't have to be that, to be an artist. You can be right smack-dab in the middle of the herd. If you are, you'll be the richest.

I don't enter, I'm entered. It's up to someone else. It's up to them.

The way the press works, people don't like to review or talk about EPs. It's considered, 'Why don't you just wait for the record?' But for someone who's creating, and the audience, they can get material quicker. I almost feel like putting out a few songs every couple months might be better than putting out an album every year or two.

When someone's really good at encapsulating human emotion and putting it out in a form that can reach a variety of people, that's going to have a big effect when he's no longer there.

You know when you become friends with someone, you don't even remember? When you weren't friends? You're just kinda like, 'When were we not friends? When I met you, weren't we just already friends?' I have the same thing with the Strokes guys.

Someone asked me years ago if it were true that I disliked Jews, and I replied that it was certainly true, not at all because they are Jews but because they are folks, and I don't like folks.

If someone stands in front of one of my paintings and says, 'This is just a mess', the word 'just' is not so good, but 'mess' might be right. Why not a mess? If it makes you say, 'Wow, I've never seen anything like that', that's beautiful.

Wherever a man turns he can find someone who needs him.

If only someone else could paint what I see, it would be marvellous, because then I wouldn't have to paint at all.

If you're going to have someone defend you, it doesn't get any better than Kristen Stewart.

The harshest thing I can say is I was married to someone for whom all dissent was abuse. If you had your own opinion, you were abusive.

An expert is someone who tells you why you can't do something.

It's hard for me to work for somebody else. I can work with someone, but not for someone.

I still have dreams in which someone is coming to the door.

I resist when someone calls me a novelist: it implies some kind of inherent superiority of the novel. I'm not a novelist, I'm a writer.

I've written original material before, where I've come up with the idea and the characters myself, and that's definitely very different to working with someone else's characters and stories.

To feel nervous, to feel threatened and vulnerable and alive and engaged in that sense when interacting with someone you're really attracted to? I think that's wonderful. That's usually the best part. In fact, it's almost always downhill from there.

Having been in Hollywood as a shadow, as someone who is almost invisible, I can see fame for what it is.

My definition of sexy is someone who is expressing themselves honestly.

Why would you want someone who is conflicted and doesn't know if they love you or not?

I just don't think I'm equipped to soundtrack the times. There might be someone out there who can do that, but I haven't cracked it.

There will always be someone being picked on at school, and it's not going to go away.

When you have people catering to you non-stop, you lose it. You need someone to kick you in the butt every now and then!

When I'm identified as a fiction writer at parties, the question comes pretty quickly. 'Did you go to school for it?' someone asks. 'Yes,' I say. 'Where?' they ask, because I don't usually offer it. 'I went to the Iowa Writers' Workshop,' I say.

Pose a political threat to Business As Usual, and sooner or later, mostly sooner, someone will try to kill you.

I feel that a lot of roles in television can really typecast someone as one type of actor or playing one type of role, but I really don't think that my role in 'Weeds' did at all.

Anytime you cast a movie and you need someone famous in the lead part, you're a prisoner of whoever happens to be famous in the six-month window in which you're trying to get a film financed.

Never elated when someone's oppressed, never dejected when another one's blessed.

My goal is to be a racer, and I want to be someone who inspires Americans to watch Formula One.

I'm pretty intense when it comes to relationships, platonic ones as well. If I feel a connection with someone, I'm willing to go there.

You can never connect on a deeper level if you idolise someone - you don't see the real person.

If someone realises the piece they are wearing is inspired by me then it only broadens my audience.

I am becoming increasingly difficult to please as a reader, but I adore being surprised by a really wonderful book, written by someone I've never heard of before.

With music, you're really showing someone a piece of your soul. You're saying, 'This is mine. I wrote this, I made this, I'm performing this. This is how I'm presenting it to you.' There's something really scary about that, but there's also something next-worldly about it, too.

Dire Straits is a great band. Someone tells you they like 'Brothers in Arms' and immediately you know they're a stupid annoying git.

In those days, between the ages of 12 and 18 you meant nothing. You were the extra place at the side table if someone came to dinner. You were of no interest to anyone.

I wasn't expelled for anything vicious, just being cheeky, not doing what I was told, answering back, and always rising to the bait if someone said something annoying about my dad.

I would adopt a standpoint, irrespective of whether someone was for or against it, if I felt deeply that it was right for the movement.

Teaching someone to be funny is like teaching someone to be fast. They're already fast. You're just making them faster.

I'm a believer in the nap. I don't care what it is. 15 minutes. Five hours. If you know someone's going to come back and come to work.

Even at 30 or 40, if something doesn't do well, it still hurts. If I pinch someone, the pain is going to be the same whether the person is young or old.

I am a very private person. I don't like to talk about things till someone asks about them.

It's no fun feeling your thoughts are being controlled by an electrode, and someone else is holding the clicker.

I have strange blood sugar levels. I get very odd if I don't eat. I either want to hit someone, cry, or fall asleep.

I wasn't good at being affable. You get beyond that and realise the attraction in any human being has more to do with what they give to someone rather than just being face candy.

John Lee Hancock is someone that I had admired from afar. I think he is a wonderful director... in the tradition I would say both of Clint Eastwood and Frank Capra.

Well, you might as well imitate your own program because if you don't, someone else will.

Don't commit to being a columnist unless you're willing to do it right. Report your behind off, so you have something original and useful to say. Say it in a way that will interest someone other than you, your family and your sources.

I look at 'Love Child' and it's as if it was written by someone else - someone who knew what they were doing.

When you are not practicing, someone else is getting better.

I am not someone who thinks that a million products will mean that you'll look perfect.

My Uncle, of course, would have been pleased to see someone with brown skin holding the office of president.

I really like the retro look. My regular clothing, I like to always keep it classy and I like to kind of be more dressed up more of the time. I'm not really someone you see in sweatpants a lot.

I don't like being compared to anyone or being in a class with someone. I'm a teen actress and therefore I'm competing against Hilary Duff. We're different people like everyone else.

I love getting dressed up and having someone do my make-up and feeling pretty.

Someone with a figure like Jennifer Aniston has a trainer, a cook spinning out some version of the latest diet, and probably a stop at the tanning salon.

I don't think it's really possible to share someone in most cases.

I just like to do covers, every once in a while. If someone pays me to go into the studio, I'll do it.

I'm a Libra. If someone compliments me, I'll say something nice to them. I like to give out compliments.

Never interrupt someone doing what you said couldn't be done.

I've noticed it a lot. I'm not someone who revises. It's always the first movement, it's that. It's an instinct. Either it works straight away, or it won't ever work.

I try to be feminist in, like, I love myself and I don't need someone else's approval.

I feel very comfortable in my own skin. When someone makes jokes about me being heavy, it makes me mad. It's not true. I'm right where I should be.

If I heard someone else singing like me, I would buy it in a heartbeat.

If someone knows me and likes me or my work, they're more likely to allow me to tell their story. But it also cuts the other way.

People see me as Andre first. Then they see me as someone who happens to be a Muslim.

I have had the good fortune of being able to sing with many of the finest voices in the world, and for someone who loves voices as I do, this is an enormous privilege.

It is not Christian to go against someone. I am in favour of life.

When I was a child, I saw in the news that a person from Belitung had done well in sports in Jakarta, and I just couldn't imagine that it was possible for someone from here to become famous, and it's still very isolated out here.

It's just a logical guess that they are very very wise to put someone from the old series in it, and if you had to choose, it would be a very difficult decision.

I find myself to be quite sarcastic, and I wouldn't want to be with someone who didn't get that.

As a former Catholic, and as someone who even today is not opposed to being called a Christian, I felt I had every right to use the symbols of the Church and resented being told not to.

When someone dies instantly, then I think the well of grief and disbelief all mixed in with it is unfathomable. And when murder is involved, that just takes it into a whole new place. There is an extra dimension you just can't compute or deal with.

I suppose I have the tastes of someone who teaches at a university in the provinces.

I happen to be a big believer in home ownership. I'm also a big believer that if someone wants to have a crack at the mining industry in Port Hedland, then they should be able to collect their... benefits in Port Hedland even though they are from Alice Springs. It should be mobile.

You cannot afford a world with slavery, which literally takes someone and turns them into a machine.

I spend my working life pretending to be someone else.

I'm wondering whether to have someone go around with my mobile to completely throw everybody off the scent. I could appear in weird places.

I don't know that I've ever been someone who's interested in existing on tour. I have a lot of interests and a lot of other things that excite me.

I like to play with someone who can cover a lot of ground and someone with whom you can discuss the language at a reasonable level, otherwise it gets a bit frustrating.

Dying is the most embarrassing thing that can ever happen to you, because someone's got to take care of all your details.

The most exciting thing is not doing it. If you fall in love with someone and never do it, it's much more exciting.

I'm someone who is very supportive of us eliminating all discrimination.

How can you work with someone if you went into their state to campaign against them?

People need something or someone to fasten themselves to in order to reassure themselves that they are real.

Someone's got to be interested in how I feel, just because I'm here and I'm real.

I have seen streets where someone said it's all fine, and then it was full of land mines.

Poverty diminishes confidence. So if someone offers you a grain store, even if you really need a plough, you take what is offered to you.

Everyone has read about or knows someone who has gone through fertility treatments. It is an emotional nightmare, fueled by false hope and the promise of a treatment that will work.

The worst thing that you can do in terms of bringing a product up to the market is to be two days after someone else has brought a similar product to the international market-It's dead.

I rarely get recognised. It's always a shock when someone notices me. I always think they must be confusing me with someone else.

On the scale of someone who's really laid-back about stuff and someone who worries a lot, I fall more towards the latter.

I do outlines when I'm writing with someone, but they also need to have a certain amount of freedom.

I saw George Bush at a benefit concert actually waving at Stevie Wonder. Someone had to tell him 'he can't see you'.

Every couple of weeks, someone writes in and says, '23andMe saved my life.'

I'm someone who laughs a lot and cries a lot.

It's easier to see in someone else, another actor, how they kind of disappear and then this other persona appears. A great actor is a thing of mystery.

With movies, so much of it is, 'Who is the human being that is going to be directing it?' Because it is their medium. In a way, you are serving the director, and when it is someone that you feel you can have a lot of confidence in, it can make a big difference.

I'm not an aviation historian, I'm not an Air Force aficionado, and I'm definitely not a ufologist. I'm not someone who studies UFOs.

When I say I want to photograph someone, what it really means is that I'd like to know them. Anyone I know I photograph.

When you are younger, the camera is like a friend and you can go places and feel like you're with someone, like you have a companion.

Sure, I'm hyperactive. I make my staff a bit hyper, too, but motivating someone else is what gives me a buzz.

If someone gives you so-called good advice, do the opposite, you can be sure it will be the right thing nine out of 10 times.

You learn a lot about someone when you share a meal together.

When you vaccinate someone, or when you get infected, the microbe is presenting itself to the immune system in a way that the immune system recognizes the important elements of the microbe and makes an immune response, both an antibody response and a cellular response, to ultimately contain the microbe.

When someone sees in you what you've been feeling all along, that's an awesome thing.

I can't stand directors who try to micro-manage everything. When it happens these days I just walk off set, saying if they don't like the way I'm doing it they can get someone else.

I had a vocal coach. It's a sad thing, but I had to hire someone so that I could get my Australian accent back.

Someone like Cristiano Ronaldo focuses on scoring to progress, so perhaps I need to think more about scoring.

Well, I've learned something from Michael Robison just about maximizing your shots. For example, if I'm shooting a scene and someone's driving at the wheel, you could steal an insert in the same shot.

It is only when we no longer compulsively need someone that we can have a real relationship with them.

When you're a director, and you look at Scorsese's work, he's always challenging us to push the envelope and break the rules. Someone like that is necessary and a godsend.

A good upbringing means not that you won't spill sauce on the tablecloth, but that you won't notice it when someone else does.

A journalistic purpose could be someone with a Xerox machine in a basement.

I would not like to be replaced by someone who immediately sets about undoing what I've tried to do for 25-26 years.

I couldn't be with someone who is depressed all the time.

Eco sees the intellectual as an organizer of culture, someone who can run a magazine or a museum. An administrator, in fact. I think this is a melancholy situation for an intellectual.

The best way for someone to govern is to set an example.

I am not someone who believes I am going to find a historical scoop.

Every Shania Twain interview ends with someone asking, 'Which Beatles album have you always wanted to cover, given the chance?'

I've always had this rule of thumb: If you have fun making it, then someone will have fun watching it.

I'm not a cribber, or someone who criticises. People who criticise are not doers. I'm a doer.

My first Hindi film as a leading man was Mahesh Bhatt's 'Saaransh,' which immediately established me as someone who knows the craft.

I am very practical. It's not like I will fall in love with someone standing far away.

If I lead my life according to someone else, I've screwed my life up.

I can look into someone's eyes and feel like I know her better, versus a phone call, where you can't get that same type of emotion. That's why text messaging gets you in trouble: You can't bond, and emoticons explain only so much.

There is something about someone making a fantastic sandwich, taking care to spread lots of mayo all the way to the edges. Making sure every bite has a bit of everything in it. There's something special about that.

There is a big misconception about arranged marriage. Yes, it can mean that you meet someone and then have to marry them, but this was my mother saying, 'I'm going to introduce you to so-and-so - If you don't like them, fair enough.'

I worked with someone who told me they'd never like me. But for some reason, I just felt like I needed her approval. So I started changing myself to please her. It made me stop being social and friendly. I was so unhappy.

One of the most terrible feelings in the world is knowing that someone else doesn't like you. Especially when you don't know what you've done to deserve it.

We've all had stress creep up on us without even noticing it until we lost it on someone who didn't deserve it, and then we realize that we probably should have checked in with ourselves a little earlier.

I am someone who doesn't talk more than what is required, but I am also a fun person.

Joe Biden is that special combination of someone who is very talented and influential, but when he starts speaking, there's inevitably going to be headlines written about something he said.

I don't try to be someone I'm not - I've always followed my heart and trance has always been my main sound.

A consultant is someone who saves his client almost enough to pay his fee.

I always have been and will remain someone who loves real, 3D, substantial books. And I don't believe that it's a wistful, nostalgic interest like vinyl collectors. It's not the same thing.

I remember being told 'Someone's gonna make a fortune out of this rap thing' and thinking 'no way'.

If you make a gun, you are either going to sell it or you are going to use it. And if you're going to sell it, someone else is going to use it.

I'd rather do my own performance than copy someone else's.

I'd like to be a cross between Bruce Parry and Keith Floyd. Someone with a sense of adventure who truly loves food.

If you want to know your true opinion of someone, watch the effect produced in you by the first sight of a letter from him.

To find out your real opinion of someone, judge the impression you have when you first see a letter from them.
