Books aren't written - they're rewritten. Including your own. It is one of the hardest things to accept, especially after the seventh rewrite hasn't quite done it.
Michael Crichton

No tendency is quite so strong in human nature as the desire to lay down rules of conduct for other people.
William Howard Taft

Acting is a masochistic form of exhibitionism. It is not quite the occupation of an adult.
Laurence Olivier

I was married when I wasn't quite 14 and had four babies by the time I was 18.
Loretta Lynn

I'm quite comfortable looking at myself in movies, probably because I've been doing it for so long, since I was a kid. So I sort of watched myself grow up and go through adolescence, like, basically on camera.
Winona Ryder

I have suffered a great deal from writers who have quoted this or that sentence of mine either out of its context or in juxtaposition to some incongruous matter which quite distorted my meaning, or destroyed it altogether.
Alfred North Whitehead

But I hang on to books. I love them. I even think they're very nice decor in a room - far better than paintings... That's not quite true!
Norman MacCaig

Quite a few people have to believe something is normal before it becomes normal - a sort of 'voting' situation. But once the threshold is reached, then everyone demands to do whatever it is.
Alan Kay

With my music, I can express myself so much. A lot of the fans can sense that I'm relating to them something that's quite personal.
Enya

We have now gone beyond 100 in number, and the desire to join seems rather to increase, though it was thought the foundations would retard it, it seems quite otherwise.
Catherine McAuley

People who have tried it, tell me that a clear conscience makes you very happy and contented; but a full stomach does the business quite as well, and is cheaper, and more easily obtained.
Jerome K. Jerome

When I saw the first I couldn't believe I was in another great movie that would be made into a trilogy. This movie is quite visible and I think it will stand the test of time. I think kids and parents will love this movie for a long time.
Orlando Bloom

I'm quite sensitive to women. I saw how my sister got treated by boyfriends. I read this thing that said when you are in a relationship with a woman, imagine how you would feel if you were her father. That's been my approach, for the most part.
Orlando Bloom

I think a film set is a quite controlled environment and you feel like you can trust them and it is going to be a safe place to work, but I really don't think about it.
Orlando Bloom

I did send a girl a plane ticket asking her for a visit, I guess that's quite romantic.
Orlando Bloom

I'm a quite serious actor who doesn't mind being ridiculously comic.
Alan Rickman

In 2002 the Yamaha was at more or less the same level as the Honda, better in some ways, worse in others. But in the winter of last year between 2002 and 2003, Honda made a big step forward and it seemed as if Yamaha couldn't quite match that improvement.
Valentino Rossi

Nicotine is both a stimulant and a depressant, so that can make one feel quite imbalanced.
Christy Turlington

In my opinion we are at the limit now, and 17 races is really too much. With all the testing that we do now, it means we're always on the bike and it's quite difficult.
Valentino Rossi

If I test the car for a year I can be quite competitive the next season.
