He was white and shaken, like a dry martini.
P. G. Wodehouse

Hollywood is fickle; your career can end pretty fast. If the acting jobs dry up, you have to have something to fall back on. In fact, that would be my advice to kids interested in acting - make sure you get an education too.
Matthew Lawrence

I am prepared to believe that a dry martini slightly impairs the palate, but think what it does for the soul.
Alec Waugh

I couldn't run a tight schedule, and if you're any good at teaching, you get sucked dry because you like your students and you're trying to help them, but you don't have any time left to write yourself.
Jim Harrison

I did what we call dry for wet effects, some of the miniatures work and two animation sequences.
John Hench

I did, although I didn't read from page 1 to page 187 but I read chunks of it. I did a little bit of science when I was in the university so I was able to understand the graphs and pie charts and stuff like that. It was extremely dry.
Liam Neeson

I didn't want to play a lawyer. I didn't want to play a doctor. I didn't want to play a single dad. I wanted to do something I felt I could learn from, something that would be a challenge and something that would not dry up.
William Petersen

I don't have dry seasons, because I don't allow them.
Thomas Perry

I find that acrylics dry very fast - which is supposed to be its charm; however, I find that because of that quality they don't blend as nicely as the oils. The oils, for one thing, are softer and more flexible than the acrylics. Also, the colors are brighter with oils.
Boris Vallejo

I first began to dry specimens for preservation carelessly perhaps at first, but before the season was over, I had collected between one and two hundred species.
George Bentham

I got a scholarship to Seattle University and I was writing arrangements for singers and everybody. But the music course was too dry and I really wanted to get away from home.
Quincy Jones

I have two ambitions in life: one is to drink every pub dry, the other is to sleep with every woman on earth.
Oliver Reed

I haven't much opinion of words. They're apt to set fire to a dry tongue, that's what I say.
Ellen Glasgow

I like a very dry wit, not the big kind of humor like Robin Williams. I don't think I'm capable of that.
Chris Cooper

I once knew a chap who had a system of just hanging the baby on the clothes line to dry and he was greatly admired by his fellow citizens for having discovered a wonderful innovation on changing a diaper.
Damon Runyon

I really hate sitcoms on television with canned laughter and stuff. What really makes me laugh is the real-life stuff. I've got a dry sense of humor.
Katie Price

I regard sports first and foremost as entertainment, so dry documentary narration is not for me.
Jack Brickhouse

I suppose all writers worry about the well running dry.
Richard Russo

I think dry nanotechnology is probably a dead-end.
Rudy Rucker

I would not be able to pen an academic and dry diatribe. I have too much talent for that.
Theo Van Gogh
