Lines Quotes

I would hope that people didn't think I was anything like Joan! It's very hard for me because Joan says such cruel things all the time. It sort of makes me cringe every time I read them because I think, 'Who could be so horrible?' To be able to deliver those lines and do them with a coolness, yet still make her likable, is a bit of a challenge.
Christina Hendricks

Time, Hope, Hard

Zach Galifianakis

Hard, Making, Stuff

Beck

Great, Thought, Said

Comic-strip artists generally have very modest ambitions. Day to day, we labor to fit together all these little moving parts - a character or two, a few lines of dialogue, framing, pacing, payoff - but we certainly don't think of them adding up over time to some larger portrait of our times.
Garry Trudeau

Time, Character, Moving

Russell Simmons

Great, Father, Job

For you, it's a silent movie. For us, it's a talking movie because we had lines on set. There's a lot of noise on set and music. We spoke in English, in French, in gibberish, but it was very alive. The challenge was tap dancing.
Jean Dujardin

Music, Challenge, Alive

I discovered that silent film is almost an advantage. You just have to think of the feeling for it to show. No lines pollute it. It doesn't take much - a gaze, an eyelash flutter - for the emotion to be vivid.
Jean Dujardin

Feeling, Show, Film

Mary Tyler Moore was a working woman whose story lines were not always about dating and men. They were about work friendships and relationships, which is what I feel my adult life has mostly been about.
Tina Fey

Life, Work, Men

For me the writing, when I'm going to direct it myself, is really just the first draft, and I don't change it very much; I only change it on average about two lines per movie.
John Sayles

Change, Writing, Two

Stanley Crouch

Problems, Another, Vision

Fred Thompson

Democracy, Friends, Around

Fred Thompson

Sometimes, Build, Draw

Michael Gambon

Learn, Whoever, Writes

I used to teach kids when I was younger. When I was about 14 or 15 I started teaching children drama and something that I used to say to them was, 'Don't be afraid.' People would be afraid of forgetting their lines or something.
Stephen Moyer

Children, Afraid, Kids

From my music training, I knew that, some Spanish rhythms apart, 5/4 is a time signature used only in the modern era. Holst's Mars from the Planets is 5/4. But if you speak lines of poetry in that pattern you just end up hitting the off-beats. It's only when you add a rest - a sixth beat - that it sounds as it surely should sound.
Nicholson Baker

Music, Time, Poetry

Jim Carrey is a consummate actor and professional. He comes on set, knows his lines and knows his moves.
Christine Baranski

Actor, Knows, Moves

When you write a two thousand page history of the Second World War, the deportations and the concentration camps will take up five pages, and the gas chambers perhaps 20 lines.
Jean-Marie Le Pen

History, War, Two

If you take a book of a thousand pages on the Second World War, in which 50 million people died, the concentration camps occupy two pages and the gas chambers ten or 15 lines, and that's what one calls a detail.
Jean-Marie Le Pen

Richard Powers

Few, Create, Code

Nick Cave

Change, Find, Pretty

Simon Pegg

Said, Hit, Visual

James Spader

Job, Book, Color
