My acting career helped pull me through the rough times.
Shirley Knight

My friends, no matter how rough the road may be, we can and we will, never, never surrender to what is right.
Dan Quayle

My life was pretty rough.
Yoko Ono

My mom was sarcastic about men. She would tell me Adam was the rough draft and Eve was the final product. She was a feminist minister, an earth mom who wore a bra only on Sundays.
Daphne Zuniga

My neighborhood was rough, but I live a great life now. I don't fight that much now. I don't look for it anyway, but if someone hits your mother, whether you're a star, an accountant, or an astronaut or anything... I mean it's your mother, so I lost my mind.
Shia LaBeouf

My teachers treated me as a diamond in the rough, someone who needed smoothing.
Mother Jones

New England has a harsh climate, a barren soil, a rough and stormy coast, and yet we love it, even with a love passing that of dwellers in more favored regions.
Henry Cabot Lodge

News is the first rough draft of history.
Philip L. Graham

Nostalgia is a file that removes the rough edges from the good old days.
Doug Larson

Oh, yes. I knew I was weird by the time I was four. I knew I wasn't like other boys. I knew I was more fearful. I didn't like the rough and tumble most boys were into. I knew I was a sissy.
Robert Crumb

People sleep peaceably in their beds at night only because rough men stand ready to do violence on their behalf.
George Orwell

Right now I'm doing four shows at a time, trying to read four outlines every week, four scripts every week, and watching four rough cuts; it's a lot of good work. It's fun to do it, but it does wear you out.
Aaron Spelling

Rough diamonds may sometimes be mistaken for worthless pebbles.
Thomas Browne

Rough Riders took 13 weeks to shoot, plus a week of training. The same guy trained us trained the cast in Platoon. Except, instead of radios, we used bugles to signal.
Tom Berenger

Rough work, iconoclasm, but the only way to get at truth.
Oliver Wendell Holmes

Sharpe is my favorite role of all that I've played. He's a very complex character. He knows that he's a good soldier, but he will always have to fight the prejudice of aristocratic officers because of his rough working-class upbringing. On the battlefield, he's full of confidence - but off it, he is unsure, a bit shy and ill at ease.
Sean Bean

So I got a chance to meet a whole bunch of those old real, real rough but gentle men. They lived hard, but they lived good - in one sense, you know. But you had a lot of fun. Didn't make much money, but you had a lot of fun.
Little Milton

SOON was the first novel where I used a rough outline. Usually I have characters and an idea and write as a process of discovery. Like working without a net.
Jerry B. Jenkins

Thank God I have the seeing eye, that is to say, as I lie in bed I can walk step by step on the fells and rough land seeing every stone and flower and patch of bog and cotton pass where my old legs will never take me again.
Beatrix Potter

The birth of any show is always a rough one.
