Tom Hiddleston

Good, Lonely, Human

Chemistry is really about two people who like to act together, I think. It's like tennis in the most cliched way. It's like if you hit the ball, they hit the ball back, and they don't hit it into the stands, and they don't put the ball in their pocket and walk off - and they don't argue with the umpire, you know?
David Duchovny

Together, Two, Put

I was like a total cliched '80s child. I had Barbies, obviously, as well as My Little Ponies and Cabbage Patch Kids, but I used to destroy them. I used to draw all over their faces and cut off their hair.
Natalie Portman

Kids, Off, Child

Diane Kruger

School, Found, Stage

I don't feel the need to direct. I tried to get other people to direct Dances, but they wouldn't do it. They all thought it was too long. One director wanted to cut the Civil War sequence. Another thought the white woman was very cliched.
Kevin Costner

War, Long, Woman

Shirley Manson

Women, Moving, Feeling

George Michael

Done, Working, Become

It would have been convenient to be gay. Just because of the grooming, the narcissism, stuff like that. But I have this kind of roaring heterosexuality. Traditional, uncomplicated heterosexuality, an almost cliched Robin Askwith thing.
Russell Brand

Gay, Almost, Stuff

At the time, when you're being dissected and judged it's pretty brutal, but in hindsight it's great and - it sounds cliched - you do come out the other side better and stronger.
Kate Bosworth

Time, Great, Pretty

I've never had any delusions about being a leading man, and it's not sour grapes to say that in the best films that I've always enjoyed, the cliched leading man type isn't a part of the picture.
John Hawkes

Best, Picture, Films

I just want to do everything. I don't want to sound soppy or too cliched, but that's the way it is.
Kylie Minogue

Everything, Sound

Joel Madden

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

Romantic, Saying, Wind

In my time since moving to the United States, I've found that there is a dearth of great writing for black people. There are stories that depict us in a way that isn't cliched or niche, and that a white person, a Chinese person, an Indian person can watch and relate to. Those are the stories I want to be a part of telling.
David Oyelowo

Time, Great, Moving

Roy Lichtenstein

Art, Between, Fact

If you have ever been in a real tragic or sad situation, the words that come out are hopelessly inadequate and kind of cliched.
Erika Slezak

Sad, Real, Words

From folk to tribal to Cab Calloway, Cole Porter, Gershwin to the Rolling Stones, whose first record was all covers, to country-western, bebop, blues, and even the referencing in classic hip hop to cliched love ballads of the '80s or whatever - that is kinda gone, and that's just terrifying to me.
Cat Power

Love, Whatever, Gone

I think film had a terrible effect on horror fiction particularly in the 80s, with certain writers turning out stuff as slick and cliched as Hollywood movies.
Poppy Z. Brite

Movies, Film, Stuff

David Nail

Good, Hope, Truth

So often in TV, when you have an antagonist who's supposed to be the 'big baddie,' it's so easy for them to become cliched.
Michelle Forbes

Become, Big, Easy

Though it's impossible for us to legislate one's thoughts and feelings, we still need things like affirmative action in place because without measures like it, people in charge would not have, sadly, enough impetus to do, as cliched as it sounds, the right thing.
Jonathan Coleman

Feelings, Thoughts, Enough
