Screen Quotations
The reason we wouldn't make a seven-inch tablet isn't because we don't want to hit a price point, it's because we don't think you can make a great tablet with a seven-inch screen.
Steve Jobs
We made the buttons on the screen look so good you'll want to lick them.
Steve Jobs
I'm sorry that we have to have a Washington presence. We thrived during our first 16 years without any of this. I never made a political visit to Washington and we had no people here. It wasn't on our radar screen. We were just making great software.
Bill Gates
When you want to do your homework, fill out your tax return, or see all the choices for a trip you want to take, you need a full-size screen.
Bill Gates
You can scream at me, call me for a shoot at midnight, keep me waiting for hours - as long as what ends up on the screen is perfect.
Arnold Schwarzenegger
Sex is more exciting on the screen and between the pages than between the sheets.
Andy Warhol
Meryl Streep does things I would never have thought possible... Her presence on screen is outstanding.
Leonardo DiCaprio
I think the fact that I'm so well known to be gay makes it very difficult to have a convincing relationship with a woman on screen. It wouldn't be at all difficult for me to kiss a woman - I'll kiss a frog if you like.
Stephen Fry
Whether you come back by page or by the big screen, Hogwarts will always be there to welcome you home.
J. K. Rowling
I'm leaving the screen because I don't think I am very good in the pictures and I have this beautiful dream that I'm elegant on the stage.
Helen Hayes
