Hot water is my native element. I was in it as a baby, and I have never seemed to get out of it ever since.
Edith Sitwell

How can an act done under compulsion have any moral element in it, seeing that what is moral is the free act of an intelligent being?
Auberon Herbert

Hydrogen holds great promise to meet many of our future energy needs, and it addresses national security and our environmental concerns. Hydrogen is the simplest, most abundant element in the universe.
Dan Lipinski

Hydrogen is the most common element in the universe, and has the potential to become an inexpensive source of energy for neighborhoods, light and heavy duty vehicles, and industry.
Charlie Dent

I admit there's an element of brutality in all my work - it's part of the truth about human existence I always want to explore - but the last thing I'm trying to do is put on some kind of freak show, inviting people to get off on other people's pain and humiliation.
Todd Solondz

I am so far as I am aware not at all influenced by dramatists, expect for Shakespeare, who I have to say, it is impossible not to be influenced by if you hold language to be the major element of theatre.
Howard Barker

I avoided nudity unless a film couldn't be told without those scenes. If you look at my films, few of them have that element, yet nudity and male fantasies have become emblematic of my work.
Greta Scacchi

I believe that the story is the most important element of any medium whether it's theater, film, TV.
Chad Lowe

I don't try to sound like anyone but me anymore. If something is out of my element, I try to avoid it.
Norah Jones

I feel the other element of a western is the land, which is very important in this movie. I mean the land is another character in the piece, actually.
Tom Selleck

I guess the two Manifesto, Communicating Vessels, Mad Love, and some of his poetry made a significant mark on me but as far as bringing a literary element into the music I see it as a much broader assimilation.
Trevor Dunn

I guess there is also an element of deliberate change involved. Each of my books has been, at least from my point of view, radically different from the last.
George Murray

I have sung to large crowds since then, and there is a feeling that once you get over 100,000 people, you kind of lose the control element, you don't know if you are really getting through or not.
Joe Cocker

I like the idea of movies having a magic element. How many times have you seen an actor in a movie who you know only as the character? It's wonderful, isn't it?
Christian Bale

I like the nice guys. I like when they show the stories, the human element behind it all.
Angela Bassett

I love the feeling that you get when you can really laugh with a man and be natural and not always think that there's a sexual element going on. For me, flirting with a man means making fun of myself and trying to open myself and be very unpretentious.
Cameron Diaz

I moved further and further away from mass entertainment. The sexual element became increasingly sinister and bizarre. Don't blame me! The bastards drove me to it! They all backed off after that!
Robert Crumb

I should point out that I was intimately involved with a group of women here a year and a half ago when there was an effort made by a right wing element in the President's party to get him to turn back the clock.
Birch Bayh

I think a lot of the time these days people are so concerned about having the right camera and the right film and the right lenses and all the special effects that go along with it, even the computer, that they're missing the key element.
Herb Ritts

I think a major element of jetlag is psychological. Nobody ever tells me what time it is at home.
David Attenborough
