I don't even correct people when they mispronounce my name now.

Part of the early Who career was all about knocking people's confidences out.
~By Roger Daltrey ~

~By Mac Davis ~
Democracy means that people can say what they want to. All the people. It means that they can vote as they wish. All the people. It means that they can worship God in any way they feel right, and that includes Christians and Jews and voodoo doctors as well.

We'll do a crazy video of a great song that people can actually dance to.

I find this proposed amendment very, very, very, very shocking. And immoral. And, you know, if civil disobedience is the way to go about change, then I think a lot of people will be going to San Francisco.

The people and the mindset that killed 3,000 of our fellow citizens on September 11 2001, would have killed not 3,000, but 300,000 if they could have or 3 million or 30 million. We need to do everything we can within our value systems and legal structures to make sure that doesn't happen.
~By Tim Pawlenty ~

~By Katie Couric ~

It is commercial pop that the majority of people understand. A working man's daughter would not understand blues.
~By Barry Gibb ~
And it turns out that tribes, not money, not factories, that can change our world, that can change politics, that can align large numbers of people. Not because you force them to do something against their will. But because they wanted to connect.
~By Seth Godin ~
There are so many factors when you think of your own films. You think of the people you worked on it with, and somehow forget the movie. You can't forgive the movie for a long time. It takes a few years to look at it with any objectivity and forgive its flaws.
~By George A. Romero ~
At one point in college I was so shy that I'd drop out of a class if asked to speak in front of other people.

~By Suzanne Somers ~
I get to meet a lot of people, and I really like people.
~By Vincent Schiavelli ~
There are horrible people who, instead of solving a problem, tangle it up and make it harder to solve for anyone who wants to deal with it. Whoever does not know how to hit the nail on the head should be asked not to hit it at all.
~By Friedrich Nietzsche ~
People think celebrities don't have to worry about human things like sickness and death and rent. It's like you've traveled to this Land of Celebrity, this other country. They want you to tell about what you saw.

~By Penn Jillette ~

~By Sherwood Boehlert ~

~By Michael Tilson Thomas ~
The Macintosh having shipped, his next agenda was to turn the rest of Apple into the Mac group. He had perceived the rest of Apple wasn't as creative or motivated as the Mac team, and what you need to take over the company are managers, not innovators or technical people.
~By Andy Hertzfeld ~
It was a few days later I came out to Hollywood for a screen test, and so did a lot of other people. So, I really didn't think I would get it. I was definitely the one that was least likely to get it, because everyone else was an already established star.

~By Robert Crandall ~
I think in the end, when you're famous, people like to narrow you down to a few personality traits. I think I've just become this ambitious, say-whatever's-on-her-mind, intimidating person. And that's part of my personality, but it's certainly not anywhere near the whole thing.
~By Madonna Ciccone ~
I don't like to think that maybe I'm just getting old. I'm not too excited about watching a huge explosion. I'm more interested in people and characters.

~By Lord George Gordon ~

~By Lawrence Welk ~
And the political system is changing rapidly in this country, and we better realize that. The elephants or donkeys are not what younger people look to. They look at individual candidates' philosophy, and I think it's a different time and a different generation.

~By Don King ~

Better understated than overstated. Let people be surprised that it was more than you promised and easier than you said.
~By Jim Rohn ~

You can't do your work worrying about what people will think of it - you kind of just have to do your work.
~By Scott Wolf ~
We had a showing of Battlestar in LA last week. I walked out the door and there were 50 people. I signed a ton of autographs. Other actors walked away without signing. These are the fans. I guess it depends. on who you are.

~By Bob Odenkirk ~
Great men hallow a whole people, and lift up all who live in their time.
~By Sydney Smith ~
One girl was helped from my appearance on the show, and I swore I would not keep quiet again. When you talk about things that are embarrassing or devastating, obviously you can help people when you do.
~By Hunter Tylo ~

~By Rip Torn ~
I want people to be blown away when I do what they don't expect.
~By Drew Barrymore ~
When the leaders choose to make themselves bidders at an auction of popularity, their talents, in the construction of the state, will be of no service. They will become flatterers instead of legislators; the instruments, not the guides, of the people.

That which makes people dissatisfied with their condition, is the chimerical idea they form of the happiness of others.
~By James Thomson ~

Most people have never learned that one of the main aims in life is to enjoy it.

I respect people who feel things passionately. I do. But when someone is a judge, that is not what they should bring to the bench. It is not really passion, except in rare instances, that serves the bench well. It is, rather, an ability to understand the law and follow it.
~By Charles Schumer ~
Will the people in the cheaper seats clap your hands? And the rest of you, if you'll just rattle your jewelry.
