I had an awful first quarter but I picked it up. To all you single guys out there, it's not how you start the date, it's how you finish it sir. A lot of people can, you know, start the date with flowers and candy, but if you don't finish the date - you know what I mean?
Shaquille O'Neal

If, for example, all the codons are triplets, then in addition to the correct reading of the message, there are two incorrect readings which we shall obtain if we do not start the grouping into sets of three at the right place.
Francis Crick

You've really got to start hitting the books because it's no joke out here.
Harper Lee

And now, I feel at 85, I really feel that I'm just ready to start.
Gordon Parks

But I do feel a little teeny right now that I'm just about ready to start, and winter is entering. Half past autumn has arrived.

Not every father gets a chance to start his son off in his own footsteps.
Alan Ladd

On my first days here I did not start work immediately but, as planned, I took it easy for a few days - flicked through books, studied Japanese art a little.
Gustav Klimt

Half the time I feel like I'm appealing to the downer freaks out there. We start to play one downer record after another until I begin to get down myself. Give me something from 1960 or something; let me get up again. The music of today is for downer freaks, and I'm an upper.
Wolfman Jack

I think you start to prepare the minute you read something.
Sean Penn

It's to paint directly on the canvas without any funny business, as it were, and I use almost pure turpentine to start with, adding oil as I go along until the medium becomes pure oil. I use as little oil as I can possibly help, and that's my method.
Edward Hopper

Acting allows me to tell a lot of stories, you know start at the beginning, finish at the end, and tell everything in between. Modelling is just an image.
Cameron Diaz

So many dancers paint. I used to paint. I started again recently. While I was dancing, I was very busy with my career. Start something else that makes use of your creative ability because if you don't you will die inside as a person.
Katherine Dunham

The worst thing about that kind of prejudice... is that while you feel hurt and angry and all the rest of it, it feeds you self-doubt. You start thinking, perhaps I am not good enough.
Nina Simone

I've had it all my life and when it can time for me to start a family, I was quite anxious to do so.
Sidney Poitier

The most difficult thing in the world is to start a career known only for your looks, and then to try to become a serious actress. No one will take you seriously once you are known as the pretty woman.
Penelope Cruz

When I start a movie, the first day, I feel like a duck.
Penelope Cruz

Things are not quite what they seem always. Don't start me on class, otherwise you'll get a four-hour lecture.
Michael Caine

I love the art of acting, and I love film, because you always have anther chance if you want it. You know, if we - if this isn't going well, you can't say - well, you could say - let's stop. Let's start over again, Gene, because you were too nervous.
Gene Wilder

Let me warn you, if you start chasing after views, you'll be left without bread and without views.
Nikolai Gogol

We must stop talking about the American dream and start listening to the dreams of Americans.
