When I do a movie, I have the script. I know how it begins and how it ends. I know what my character does and where he’s going. If I have ideas I want to express or changes I want to make, there’s one guy: the director. It’s different in television.
Holt McCallany
173
As a society, I think we express our cultural mores through our politics. We’re trying constantly to figure out what’s OK and what’s not OK. And it’s hard, because our society is constantly buffeted by gale force winds of technology. Things are always changing.
174
That is the key of this collection, being yourself. Don’t be into trends. Don’t make fashion own you, but you decide what you are, what you want to express by the way you dress and the way to live.
Gianni Versace
175
From 1918 on, trade unionists were to express from the platforms of their congresses the workers‘ desire for peace through a rational organization of the world.
Leon Jouhaux
176
When people express what is most important to them, it often comes out in cliches. That doesn’t make them laughable; it’s something tender about them. As though in struggling to reach what’s most personal about them they could only come up with what’s most public.
Terrence Malick
177
I was never a good student. I had to be dragged into kindergarten. It was hard to sit and listen to somebody talk. I wanted to be out, educated by experience and adventure, and I didn’t know how to express that.
178
I love fashion, and that’s how I express myself.
179
There’s a lot of rage… you have to express it somehow. If I didn’t express it in song, I’d become incredibly violent.
180
I don’t have interns. I don’t have a manager. I don’t have assistants. I don’t have a secretary. I can’t figure out Outlook Express. I’m the worst person in the world answering e-mails, and my phone is probably the oldest, most battered phone you can find. So I just talk to people.
181
I very rarely think in words at all. A thought comes, and I may try to express it in words afterwards.
182
Sometimes I get a little confused because with dancing I can express my emotions with my body. With acting you have to do it with your face and your expressions, and then with animated shows you have to use your voice and use your inflections. So it’s definitely a challenge to transfer from each genre of entertainment.
183
For whatever reason, not all people are born with the particular gift of being able to express ourselves through music. And, believe me, it is a gift.
184
My main calling in life is to seek and achieve spiritual balance, and to express that through my instrument. Everything else is here today, gone later today.
185
No ideas and the ability to express them – that’s a journalist.
186
I want authenticity, I don’t want players to make a show. I want players to be able to be themselves on court and express all kinds of emotions.
187
I’ve never really played golf. With the sax, I learned technique well enough so that it feels like part of my body, and I just express myself. That’s where I want to get in golf.
188
Occupy is anything but a protest movement. That’s why it has been so hard for news agencies to express or even discern the ‘demands‘ of the growing legions of Occupy participants around the nation, and even the world.
189
One thing I think is that comics are really good at expressing emotion. I think there’s a way that comics characters can be drawn not-realistically, but the emotional reality is still very sincere. So you can have these exaggerations that express inner emotion through physical appearance.
Jeffrey Brown
190
Every man must have the right fearlessly to think independently and express his opinion about what he knows, what he has personally thought about and experienced, and not merely to express with slightly different variations the opinion which has been inculcated in him.
191
I don’t know the law, the kind of law of quantity and quality, but I think the opportunity of people being able to express themselves and to have the means of production is a great thing. It’s also changing how we’re telling stories.
192
If atheism is to be used to express the state of mind in which God is identified with the unknowable, and theology is pronounced to be a collection of meaningless words about unintelligible chimeras, then I have no doubt, and I think few people doubt.
Leslie Stephen
193
I’ve been reading poetry publicly for 20 years, and this is what you do – you express, you sometimes dig a bit to get a conversation started. That’s the point of poetry. You’re supposed to go, ‘Hmmmm,’ and ‘Woooh!’
194
To confer dignity, forgive. To express contempt, forget.
195
I am so used to being able to express myself from being an actor. So when people don’t understand me, I’m just completely lost.
196
We can raise our sights high when we’re willing to break free from being conformists who live a conventional life simply because we are too afraid to express our uniqueness.
197
Since my subjects have always been my sensations, my states of mind and the profound reactions that life has been producing in me, I have frequently objectified all this in figures of myself, which were the most sincere and real thing that I could do in order to express what I felt inside and outside of myself.
198
I want to express myself in a different way. I have a performing inclination.
199
At Casablanca we did ‘Midnight Express,’ ‘Flashdance,’ and ‘The Deep.’ My willingness for risk has always been my strength.
200
We are hopeful that President Obama, in his State of the Union Address, will express a willingness to work with Republicans to enact all of these jobs bills.
Nan Hayworth
201
Perfect partners don’t exist. Perfect conditions exist for a limited time in which partnerships express themselves best.
202
Lazy people tend not to take chances, but express themselves by tearing down other’s work.
Ann Rule
203
As a musician myself, I wouldn’t be confident if I received some other composers‘ song, because I choose to express myself through the music that I make.
204
I wouldn’t ask any of my employees to do anything I wouldn’t do. And I work as hard, if not harder than the rest of the staff, to set an example. I also believe in giving my employees a lot of room to be creative and to express themselves.
205
Words will not be able to ever express how sorry I am for this, and I have profound regret and sorrow for the multitude of mistakes and harm I have caused.
Jack Abramoff
206
So, it becomes an exercise in futility if you write something that does not express the film as the director wishes. It’s still their ball game. It’s their show. I think any successful composer learns how to dance around the director’s impulses.
207
My lyrics come from my experiences growing up in life, trying to find out and express who I am. That’s basically it. I’m not trying to be a prophet or anything like that. I’m just reflecting on life.
208
Now that the there is a path for the people of Puerto Rico to express their self-determination on Puerto Rico‘s political status, there are some who seek to block that path.
209
My job is usually to express emotion as freely as possible.
210
I personally do not listen to a lot of music. It helps keep my mind free. I don’t want to sound like someone else from the get-go. I want to express myself and the world in my head.
Victoria Legrand
211
When I hear someone, instantaneously, I’m like, ‘Who’s singing?’ You’re giving people so much of yourself, and my voice is the most natural, distinctive tool I have. It’s up to me to express myself on a wider scale than just writing vocal melodies and lyrics.
Sampha
212
Kids in Flint don’t even know that you can write to express your feelings and go to the gym and work out, you can run, you can do whatever you love to help relieve stress.
213
How strangely do we diminish a thing as soon as we try to express it in words.
Maurice Maeterlinck
214
There are essentially two main reasons to hold a phone up at a show. First, to capture a memory for yourself, a reminder of the moment you’re enjoying. And second, to share that moment with someone – to express your emotions socially. Both seem perfectly legitimate to me.
215
A Shakespeare could have arisen only on English soil. In the same way, your great dramatists and poets express the nature and essence of the Norwegian people, but they also express that which is universally valid for all mankind.
216
People of faith should be able to have confidence in their right to freely express and live their beliefs.
217
An artist must possess Nature. He must identify himself with her rhythm, by efforts that will prepare the mastery which will later enable him to express himself in his own language.
218
I express myself through clothes, but clothes don’t define me.
219
The further the music develops, the more complex the apparatus used by the composer to express his thoughts becomes.
220
Neutrality is a negative word. It does not express what America ought to feel. We are not trying to keep out of trouble; we are trying to preserve the foundations on which peace may be rebuilt.
221
But most people don’t come up to me and express a lot of emotion.
Jim Hodges
222
I just express myself in any way I feel is appropriate at the moment.
223
‘Painting like a child’ isn’t a negative for me… it’s something only great artists can really achieve. The childlike quality of some of Picasso‘s drawings is precisely what makes them so masterful and extraordinary; the ability to express complete visions, feelings and portraits through a continuous line.
224
When I started studying acting in New York, I didn’t plan to be an action hero. I just wanted to learn acting because I felt it was something I needed to try to do for myself, to express something, my inner pain, or something I couldn’t get out.
Dolph Lundgren
225
I have a tendency to really stuff things. I don’t really express, you know? Like, express certain feelings and stuff.
226
When I rap, I get to express myself in a way where putting words together is like poetry, and sometimes it’s better to talk in certain expressions than sing, you know? So I love, I love to rhyme when I want to express certain things.
227
You can even express movies and poetry using video games. For those reasons, I’ve decided to create stories through video games.
228
I think that music, being an expression of the human heart, or of the human being itself, does express just what is happening – the whole of human experience at the particular time that it is being expressed.
229
Maybe clothes are a form of creative expression for me. An outlet. Because I don’t get to express myself creatively through my official duties.
230
I think there are a whole host of things that are civil rights, and then there are other things – such as traditional marriage – that, I think, express a community’s concern and regard for a particular institution.
231
Look at YouTube, how many talented people there are. It’s a whole new world of how to express yourself. I don’t know how to work that world, but take advantage of it.
232
The best times I had on film sets were the times the director let me express myself, but those were rare.
233
Fiscal conservatism is just an easy way to express something that is a bit more difficult, which is that the size and scope of government, and really the size and scope of politics in our lives, has grown uncomfortable, unwieldy, intrusive and inefficient.
234
I first wrote for adults, but when I started writing for young people, it was the most creative and liberating experience of my life. I was able to express my own deepest feelings far more than I ever could when writing for adults.
235
If you take a look at history, you will find that the understanding of what is good and evil has always existed before the individual religions. The religions were only invented by people afterwards, in order to express this idea.
236
I don’t want to express my opinion about actual politics, because if I do, I have to be responsible for my decision.
237
Those old Appalachian singers use a falsetto sometimes. They can change their voices to sound high or low or really scratchy. When you’re singing, usually you’re trying to express some kind of pain or joy. I think that voice allows me to do a lot more of that.
238
I think fashion is the best value way, the most affordable way in the 21st century, that men and women can express their personality.
239
I like to express certain things that happen in my life, the joy of spring, the birds singing and young babies coming into the world. You know, the whole thing as well as the part I’m not happy with, the sad part.
Roy Haynes
240
Some things can be perfectly expressed by sound alone and images would only be disturbing. Other times, sound would be possible, but visuals are much stronger and closer to what I want to express and then again, they sometimes overlap perfectly.
Alva Noto
241
The life of a play begins and ends in the moment of performance. This is where author, actors, and directors express all they have to say. If the event has a future, this can only lie in the memories of those who were present and who retained a trace in their hearts.
242
It is a great honor for me to be able to express my sincere gratitude to the Nobel Foundation.
243
My house looks like it was decorated by a 14-year old with a platinum American Express card.
244
Freedom of speech is, to all Americans, as oxygen is to the human condition. It is a right that has been irreversibly programmed into our hard drive. We are free to speak our minds. An artist’s right to express him or herself as best suits their art, is the artist’s prerogative and it is guaranteed.
245
I think it’s really cool to embrace the pain of something that may have hurt you and be able to express it through music.
246
I need to let people know who I am and instead of just trying to make great records, just be honest and make it more personal and make it more passionate, to make records with emotion and not be afraid to express that.
Future
247
The freedom to express yourself without fear – that perhaps is something we in the U.S. take for granted. It’s almost inconceivable to think we would be afraid to express our opinions or thoughts, but that’s not true for all parts of the world now, and certainly not before World War II.
Friedrich St. Florian
248
My favorite song that I wrote is ‘Love Line.’ This was my first song that I wrote lyrics for, and I really wanted to express the feeling when you’re in love and hoping the other person feels the same way.
249
I want to express my deepest apology to the athletes, the people of Salt Lake City in Utah and the millions of citizens worldwide who love and respect the games.
Juan Antonio Samaranch
250
Finally I had a place where I could express my pain and I felt safe because I didn’t have to put my name on it. I think acting kept me alive back then.
251
When I look at a football pitch, I suppose, yes, I see it as my canvas. I see solutions, possibilities, the space to express myself. I am always looking for ways to be creative, to gain an edge.
252
For as long as I can remember I have suffered from a deep feeling of anxiety which I have tried to express in my art.
253
A certain administration which I won’t call by name took the arts out of the schools, and that left the brothers out on the street with nothing, so they went to the turntables and started rhyming. Then they had a way to express themselves, and that’s the birth of hip-hop.
Isaac Hayes
254
What, after all, is the object of education? To train the body in health, vigor and grace, so that it may express the emotions in beauty and the mind with accuracy and strength.
255
In minor crises, the preacher can extract himself emotionally and allow others to express grief and fear and doubt while he remains strong.
James A. Forbes
256
During this earlier period of his activity Voltaire seems to have been trying – half unconsciously, perhaps – to discover and to express the fundamental quality of his genius.
257
Playing video games, as funny as it might sound, it’s a very important part of our day. Our schedule is so hectic, chaotic, demanding that we need an outlet. We need ways to express ourselves and let our energy out.
258
Demands for solidarity can quickly turn into demands for groupthink, making it difficult to express nuance.
259
Freedom of speech means freedom for those who you despise, and freedom to express the most despicable views. It also means that the government cannot pick and choose which expressions to authorize and which to prevent.
260
Fashion is chaotic, and it can be an aggravation, too, but it is at its best when it allows you to express yourself.
261
I’ve seen inside fanshouses, and they would have pictures of Jesus on the wall, and next to it would be a picture of The Rock ‘n’ Roll Express. That’s no lie.
262
I guess I probably make violent films partly because I can’t express my anger in my real life very well.
263
I can get where some scientists would say comedians are crazy. What you have to understand: A lot of comedians are dealing with a dark passion. A lot of these are guys coming from a tumultuous life, including myself. Some people need outlets, a way to express yourself.
264
I grew up dancing, so that was always my first dream. But I also have a passion for acting. I would love to step inside of a character and be somebody that I’m not, because I feel like it just gives me an outlet to express myself without being me.
265
I think I’m a humanist. I believe all humans should have equal rights to live, express, flourish, love and dissent, irrespective of their gender, caste, class, socio-economic strata, disabilities, political stance, religion or faith.
266
A painter, who finds no satisfaction in mere representation, however artistic, in his longing to express his inner life, cannot but envy the ease with which music, the most non-material of the arts today, achieves this end. He naturally seeks to apply the methods of music to his own art.
Wassily Kandinsky
267
Not all actresses know how to express their looks, I think. For me, it’s an on-again, off-again thing. I’m still struggling.
Rinko Kikuchi
268
My mother at a young age put me in bilingual, so my strength is really more in Spanish. Even though I live and I was born and raised in the States, you know, in the Bronx, in Spanish I get my point across. And when I’m writing music, when I’m doing music, it’s easier for me, and I know exactly how to express myself.
269
I love fashion as much as I love basketball! It is a great joy for me to express myself through designing my own collection.
Hakeem Olajuwon
270
Hospitality is present when something happens for you. It is absent when something happens to you. Those two simple prepositions – for and to – express it all.
271
We want to open digg up to just about anyone and everyone that wants to express their interest in any type of news story or Web content.
Kevin Rose
272
It’s so great to be able to express the friendship between men.
Park Hyung-sik
273
Britain‘s a funny place and there’s a lot of funny people coming out of there and a lot of people are finding mediums to express themselves.
274
That was a major goal for me – to be able to reach and encourage more women, to encourage them to express themselves and be what they want to be. People get very trapped where they are.
275
It has been my experience that work on the screen clarifies stage portrayals and vice versa. You learn to make your face express more in making movies, and in working for the theater you have a sense of greater freedom.
Fredric March
276
It gets crazy in my mind sometimes but the reason why I like to express so much positivity on my Twitter is because I think we all are battling evil thoughts. I think it’s important to not ignore them but to try to understand where they are coming from and get through them instead of suppressing them.
Jhene Aiko
277
I love making videos on my couch. You can put those on the Internet fast. I can express myself.
278
The crucial thing is to arouse the awareness that as a matter of human conscience we can never permit the people of any country to fall victim to nuclear weapons, and for each individual to express their refusal to continue living in the shadow of the threat they pose.
279
I support any procedure that allows photographers to express themselves, whether that involves color, black and white, platinum, palladium and digital technology.
280
That’s one of the lucky things about getting the success later on. I know how I want to dress, I know what kind of house I want to live in, I just know more about myself, and that’s true about the roles I want to play and what parts of myself I want to express. You’re just more in touch with yourself.
281
When I write songs, when I sing songs, I don’t have anybody in mind. I’m just trying to express what I think people are feeling.
282
These people are artists. These people are musicians. They’re taking it out and trying to express it that way.
283
I enjoyed making people laugh. I discovered that I loved that power over them. On stage, I felt I could really express who I was for the first time.
284
Music is an expression of individuality; it’s how you see the world. All art is, for that matter. You take how you experience the world, interpret it, and send it out there – express it – whether it’s sculpture, dance or singing.
285
The Soviet Union had only one party. You couldn’t express yourself freely; you couldn’t admit belief in God. And yet this terrible regime understood that human beings have to express themselves, through music, even at a bad level. All kids studied music automatically, just as they did maths or languages or sport.
286
Ultimately, it’s possible that social media platforms will be designed as templates that the users themselves customize in terms of the best way to express their community and experience of life, and brands will have to simply follow suit.
287
I am a huge fashion fan. It’s a really cool way to express yourself.
288
Somehow when I express my voice, I feel that much more vulnerable. For instance, if I used the wrong word, or if I said something and somebody could take the word and misinterpret it.
289
I have to pay a huge price to express myself. You get people asking to take photos all the time; you can’t ride the subway… I still ride the subway, but there’s always people sneaking photos or coming up to you.
290
On the stage, the characters express themselves more through words than images. So the arguments of the characters and the tension between characters – words have to be used to express that, and I love that about theater.
291
When people come to Twitter and they want to express something in the world, the technology fades away. It’s them writing a simple message and them knowing that people are going to see it.
292
The ability to express an idea is well nigh as important as the idea itself.
293
What’s the function of poetry? It’s to express general truths, to connect with the reader and make him think: ‘Wow, I’ve experienced that, but you’ve expressed it so much better.’
Giles Andreae
294
Now I’ve devoted my life to making sure that I can be a trailblazer for any other African American kids or any other gay kids or any other kids that just feel weird or uncomfortable and have their own issues and don’t know how to express themselves. I want to be like a beacon for those kids now.
295
I am quite quiet: I don’t feel as though I have to express myself with words too often. Maybe I should do more.
296
When I have struggled with things like being Bruce Lee‘s daughter, it’s his words that have guided me: his words that said that I just need to have faith in myself, believe in myself, and express myself.
297
Every age develops its own peculiar forms of pathology, which express in exaggerated form its underlying character structure.
298
To express to you in mere words, our personal feelings on this occasion you must know to be impossible, and particularly so for one who normally has to describe only things outside himself.
Melvin Calvin
299
It’s fun to be sarcastic, but now I’m able to express myself in a way that’s much more sincere.
300
In London I feel free; nobody bothers anyone and everyone is free to express themselves.
301
I think they saw me as something like a deliverer, a way out. My means of expression, my music, was a way in which a lot of people wished they could express themselves and couldn’t.
302
I’ve been doing everything I can to reach out and understand why people voted against me. They were trying to send a message. I have to be more sensitive in the way I express myself, and I have to be more thoughtful in the positions I take.
Jim Moran
303
Most women don’t play like guys do: they don’t wrestle, fight, get into brawls. They don’t know how to express themselves in a physical, active way.
304
You have to learn to express differently. Whenever I do TV or film, I ask if I can see the shot to see, to see if it’s full body or a close-up. That helps me understand how to communicate.
305
I want, through my roles, to express the parts in the hearts of Chinese women that they feel unable to let out.
306
I cannot write poetically, for I am no poet. I cannot make fine artistic phrases that cast light and shadow, for I am no painter. I can neither by signs nor by pantomime express my thoughts and feelings, for I am no dancer; but I can by tones, for I am a musician.
307
I really understand what that process is all about and how important it is, especially with young folk and creative folk that love looking for some platform that makes it easier for them to express themselves.
308
It’s technically extremely difficult to get down what you really mean, not what you think you mean, or what you think sounds good, but what’s really there, what you really have to express, in words that somehow convey that meaning in an approximate way.
309
I’m a firm believer in karma. By doing good, good things eventually find you. I don’t have an American Express Black Card, but I like to think that I would if I could fill it with karma points.
310
Sick children, if not too shy to speak, will always express this wish. They invariably prefer a story to be told to them, rather than read to them.
311
My job is to express myself.
312
I’ve been singing for six years. I’ve been in and out of the studios with top producers, but it wasn’t something I was ready to express to the public or to the press. I wasn’t ready to come out. I wanted to perfect my voice and be 100 percent positive that I could come out right.
313
I’m very conscious of developing my singing, technically and stylistically. I want it to become more individual, express more of me. That’s my goal. These songs are steps along that way.
Madeleine Peyroux
314
When I was younger, I was terrified to express anger because it would often kick-start a horrible reaction in the men in my life. So I bit my tongue. I was left to painstakingly deal with the aftermath of my avoidance later in life, in therapy or through the lyrics of my songs.
315
Folk songs express the dreams and prayers and hopes of the working people.
Hank Williams
316
It’s important to me that I should be free to express myself.
317
I did tell the census man I was white, and I’m telling you, I started getting offers for the black American Express card in the mail.
318
A man like Wilde was not free to live out of the closet as a homosexual, and women in general were not able to be truly themselves; there was no place for a woman’s voice to be heard or for her to express her sexuality.
319
Gratitude is the inward feeling of kindness received. Thankfulness is the natural impulse to express that feeling. Thanksgiving is the following of that impulse.
Henry Van Dyke
320
Arts education is a big part of building a 21st century creative mind, and I think that we have let way too many kids lose their way by not drawing in their young minds with music, dance, painting and the other various ways we can express those things we do not have words for.
Heather Watts
321
I see dance being used as communication between body and soul, to express what it too deep to find for words.
Ruth St. Denis
322
Words cannot express quite a lot of feelings, whereas a noise or tone or drone or sound, an accordion falling down a staircase, can somehow capture an emotion much better.
323
Anything you can do to express yourself is a form of art. That’s why I love my craft so much. I always wanted to play other artists. If I can’t play an instrument, then I want to play a character that can. There is an artist behind everything, and I think that’s beautiful.
Emily Rios
324
Singing allowed me to express myself in ways that I wouldn’t be able to do otherwise.
325
I’m too shy to express my sexual needs except over the phone to people I don’t know.
326
The best part of beauty is that which no picture can express.
327
I saw the Village as a place you could escape to, to express yourself. When I first went there, I wrote and performed poetry. Then I drew portraits for a couple of years. It took a while before I thought about picking up a guitar.
328
I cannot express to you how grateful I am that I am a Christian. Before I was a Christian, I went through a time in my life where I just didn’t know why I was alive.
329
My morning rituals are typical. I wake up yearning for a few extra moments of rest. I express gratitude to a higher power for the breath in my body and the blessings in my life. I shower. I dress. I eat breakfast. I exchange laughter and words with my beloveds, embracing each other as we say our daily goodbyes.
330
We can begin to become more diligent and concerned at home by telling the people we love that we love them. Such expressions do not need to be flowery or lengthy. We simply should sincerely and frequently express love.
331
There was a Russian director named Elem Klimov, who did his films during the communist days. They were constantly struggling with the authorities and to be allowed to express themselves. But he did one of the best war movies I’ve ever seen – it’s called ‘Come and See.’
332
I make my music to express everything I feel is necessary to communicate at a given time. Through music, I can express myself with statements that are more nuanced and more contradictory than factual details.
Sophie
333
In life, you should be allowed to express yourself. People are happier like this.
334
Over the years, I have been asked to play these sort of scary frenetic characters that express their emotions physically.
335
Most politicians aren’t allowed to express themselves any more.
336
These are some of the things for which we believe the American people owe no little gratitude to the Dutch; and these are the things for which today, speaking in the name of the American people, we venture to express their heartfelt thanks.
Seth Low
337
In film you can use images exclusively and narrate a whole story very quickly, but you don’t always so easily find the form in cinema to dig deeper into human thoughts and emotions. And in a novel you can much more easily express a character’s inner thoughts and feelings.
338
My memory of those places is better than my pictures. That’s why I get much more satisfaction out of shooting thematic work that has to do with an idea that I’m searching for, or searching to express.
339
I love figure skating and what I am able to express creatively. I want to leave a legacy in the sport.
340
I just wanted to have fun for myself – I felt I had a lot to say, and I realized that I missed having a magazine as a place to express my ideas. The Times column is a place for me to unload those perceptions.
341
I’m lucky to not have a real job, to be able to express myself, be creative and be relevant.
342
I realised one day that men are emotional cripples. We can’t express ourselves emotionally, we can only do it with anger and humour. Emotional stability and expression comes from women.
Bob Hoskins
343
I generally get challenged; I haven’t been typecast, which is really, really, nice. It’s not something that every actor gets, really. It’s luxury. Most actors are capable of it, but they aren’t afforded the opportunity to express their variety.
344
I express things through characters because I have a fear that my own voice is irritating because that’s been said to me.
345
We should all have the opportunity to express what we want to express.
346
We don’t perceive a contradiction between writing books, making films or producing a television program. These days you can’t choose how you want to express yourself anymore.
Alexander Kluge
347
Emotions often must be portrayed from an inner feeling, of course, but I had a double advantage because I was learning to direct my as-yet expressionless feelings as well as gaining an ability to express emotion by a very conscious manipulation of my muscles.
Jane Greer
348
My goal is to live the truly religious life and express it through my music. If you can live it, there’s no problem about the music, because it’s part of the whole thing.
349
Without moral progress, stimulated by faith in God, immorality in all its forms will proliferate and strangle goodness and human decency. Mankind will not be able to fully express the potential nobility of the human soul unless faith in God is strengthened.
350
When I got into music, I wanted to learn guitar just enough to be able to write songs. I wanted to be able to express myself.
351
If a man is secure enough to allow his partner to go out and express herself, and if he does not feel as ambitious as her, he can be a homemaker also. There is nothing wrong with it.
352
I really can’t pinpoint why I celebrate the way I do. I just love it when I pick a wicket, and it comes naturally to me to express my joy in the manner that I do.
353
I play with language a great deal in my poems, and I enjoy that. I try to condense language, that is, I try to express complicated but I hope real emotions as simply as possible. But that doesn’t mean the poems are simple, just that they are as truthful as I can make them.
354
The thing that I think is the most important is taking moments to express your appreciation to your partner. A thank you or a quick kiss can go a long way toward affirming your relationship and commitment to each other. That’s not hard to do even when you’re juggling insane careers and three kids.
355
A satirist is a man whose flesh creeps so at the ugly and the savage and the incongruous aspects of society that he has to express them as brutally and nakedly as possible in order to get relief.
John Dos Passos
356
Manga, as a medium, is very different from cinema. Its creators are free to express themselves with harsh, cruel stories, and they enjoy vast distribution throughout Japan.
357
I have a lot of variety within me, and the dream role, I think, is actually a compilation of parts that express different aspects of my persona and personal interests.
358
Over and over again, I’m trying to express or communicate these big and small struggles to the world, and really to myself.
359
There were a series of moments when I decided that art was important, and it was an important vehicle for me to express my interest in spaces.
Theaster Gates
360
My father was a restaurant man, laundry man in his lifetime. And I’ve often wondered how and why did I become an actor? Where did I get the so-called talent to express myself? And I look back, and I see that my mother was very animated. I can remember that she used to, what she called ‘bei zhu.’
James Hong
361
We were all miners in our family. My father was a miner. My mother is a miner. These are miner’s hands, but we were all artists, I suppose, really. But I was the first one who had the urge to express myself on paper rather than at the coalface.
362
I’ve always liked my clothes, even before I could properly afford them. Clothes for me were never a cloak, a cover. They were how I chose to express myself.
363
What do you say when someone has truly inspired you? How do you express to an artist how deeply their work has affected you?
364
I just try really hard to be me, and sometimes that means I’m unfiltered. I try to give people myself because I think making a great product is being in touch with how you feel about things and being able to express things. I really hope I can stay in touch with how I feel about things and I’m able to express that.
365
I allowed Rick Santorum to express views and ideas that the American people never would have had expressed.
366
All beauty is truth, and all truth is compassionate. Few know that; fewer still can express it.
Henry Williamson
367
There was probably something as a child I wanted to express, something unsaid that I needed to share.
368
It’s a blessing as an artist to express myself – whether that be via dance, via song or via speech – in so many different ways.
369
When I grew up in the ’60s, we were actually dominated by this, you know, sort of conforming ’50s culture, even though we were like trying to express our own culture, like, the dominant culture was the thing that was forming us. And I think that that’s true today.
370
The first memory I have was my sisters dancing to the radio when they played records by Benny Goodman and Harry James and of the sort. But the record that got me was a record by Derek Sampson, who was a young guy, called ‘Boogie Express,’ and it was boogie-woogie. Really, it was on fire, and that got me.
Jerry Leiber
371
What drew me to politics in the first place was the fact that I wanted to have a place to take a stand and use my voice to express what I believed in. But I’ve no longer got any political aspirations. I feel that as a politician, fifty per cent of people would hate you before you even left the house.
372
I’m putting everything on the line in being able to express myself in a different way than rappers normally do. They might say, ‘It’s rap’ or ‘It’s R&B,’ but I’m stepping outside the box and making music for me and making music for the fans to understand me. I’m going the extra distance to be able to come across different.
Future
373
Possible ideas and thoughts are vast in number. A distinct word for every distinct idea and thought would require a vast vocabulary. The problem in language is to express many ideas and thoughts with comparatively few words.
John Wesley Powell
374
If I’m feeling something, I have a lot of different ways to express it, you know? I can write an article about it. I can write a screenplay about it. I can act in someone’s thing.
375
Others too would occasionally entertain and privately express such doubts; though we all had been most solemnly warned by the cruel murder of Saint Francis.
376
I like listening to people talk about things that they love. They get to express things they don’t normally get to express.
377
Draw your pleasure, paint your pleasure, and express your pleasure strongly.
Pierre Bonnard
378
It was a really interesting time in New York in the late 70s and early 80s, and the music scene was really, really interesting because you didn’t have to be a virtuoso to make music, it was more about your desire to express things.
379
It is hard to imagine an area in which Congress has more express constitutional authority to act than in protecting the right of minorities to vote.
380
In case anyone needs reminding, it was the relentless drive of the tourism industry and kowtowing State Department bureaucrats that led to the Bush-era Visa Express Program, which relaxed visa policies, eliminated in-person consulate interviews and opened the door to the 9/11 hijackers.
381
People should just express themselves and not worry about trends – try to use fashion like a compass, an indicator, examples of things that you can be. It’s not to be taken so seriously. It’s just clothes.
Kelly Cutrone
382
Nobody can teach what is inside a person; it has to be discovered for oneself and a way must be found to express it.
Eduardo Chillida
383
When I hear people express extreme optimism about the Internet, I say, we’ve had it in mature form for about ten years. Macroeconomically speaking, those are about the worst 10 years we’ve had since about the 1930s. I don’t blame the Internet for that – that would be ridiculous.
384
Freedom of religion is a principle that is central to our Nation’s Declaration of Independence. Congress has taken this positive step to protect our freedom to express allegiance to America’s flag and the ideals it represents.
385
The truth is, it’s easier for me to write than talk… to express the state I’m in at any time.
386
Any poet, if he is to survive beyond his 25th year, must alter; he must seek new literary influences; he will have different emotions to express.
387
I thoroughly enjoyed working on Enemy of the State. Tony Scott is an important director, and has an amazing ability to express himself, and he doesn’t do it in musical terms, he does it in emotional terms. I got along really well with him.
388
Cynthia’s lyrics always expressed the feelings people felt but they couldn’t express themselves.
Barry Mann
389
As the mother teaches her children how to express themselves in their language, so one Gypsy musician teaches the other. They have never shown any need for notation.
390
Myths are stories that express meaning, morality or motivation. Whether they are true or not is irrelevant.
391
Let us not depreciate Earth. There is no atom in it but is alive and astir in the all-penetrating splendor of God. From the infinitesimal to the infinite, everything is striving to express the thought of His Presence with which it overflows.
392
‘,Alive’ stems from emotional growth and contentment. Before writing the song, I was swimming in a pool of hurt, guilt and spiritual discomfort. Instead of drowning, I decided to embrace these feelings and express gratitude for the lessons learned. With this new-found sense of life, I am stronger and happier than ever.
393
On principle, I always support the opinion of a population who express themselves through a referendum.
394
There are really two core principles at play here. There’s giving people a voice so that people can express their opinions. Then, there’s keeping the community safe, which I think is really important. We’re not gonna let people plan violence or attack each other or do bad things.
395
We have no right to express an opinion until we know all of the answers.
396
The higher Greek poetry did not make up fictitious plots; its business was to express the heroic saga, the myths.
Gilbert Murray
397
Musicians from the beginning of time have been there to express the mood and the musical feelings in the air for whatever’s going on in that particular culture. It’s the greatest joy as a musician to be able to translate that, be part of something and watch the scenery around you.
398
I’m a passionate individual, and sometimes when I have strong feelings about a subject, I feel the need to express myself.
Megan Fox
399
Being German, I think we don’t really express a lot of things.
400
Verse in itself does not constitute poetry. Verse is only an elegant vestment for a beautiful form. Poetry can express itself in prose, but it does so more perfectly under the grace and majesty of verse. It is poetry of soul that inspires noble sentiments and noble actions as well as noble writings.
401
Any ‘artist’ makes a living by expressing what others can’t – because they’re unaware of their feelings, they’re too afraid to express those feelings, or they lack the skills to communicate and be understood.
402
When I won the Emmy, the profound sense of gratitude when my name was said I cannot express enough. It was one of the most beautiful moments, hands down, of my life.
403
Never met Levinson. Ever. He directed those American Express spots for us for Seinfeld, and I was off on some guest spot that I didn’t even want to do… and I got talked into doing it.
Patrick Warburton
404
I think politicians should express their faith. I have never adhered to the Blair view that we don’t do God, indeed I’m not sure that Blair does.
405
We need to thank all of our troops, and particularly those for whom we can never express enough gratitude for they have given their lives so that all of us may be free and that our democracy can be a shining light for the rest of the world.
406
The best way to express rhythm is music.
John Hartford
407
Expressions of disapproval are on a level of vulgarity that cannot be tolerated. The way to express disapproval is to do without applause.
Rudolf Bing
408
Words do not express thoughts very well. They always become a little different immediately after they are expressed, a little distorted, a little foolish.
409
If our titles recall the known myths of antiquity, we have used them again because they are the eternal symbols upon which we must fall back to express basic psychological ideas.
Mark Rothko
410
There’s a desire in me to express something – to match what I hear in my head.
411
Scholl Velvet Smooth Express Pedi is just great. You get yourself in a hot bath to soften up your skin and then use this, and it really works. Plus, it’s so easy to do, and you don’t have to leave the house, so whenever you want to put sandals on, you don’t have to worry about going to the salon.
412
Excitement was plentiful during my two years’ service as a Pony Express rider.
413
I stumbled onto the best profession to heal my childhood: the only one that lets you release and express whatever is ugly and messy and beautiful about your life. We’re in the business of creating human beings. The more we spew, and the more honestly we do it, the better. Try that on Wall Street.
414
I think, first of all, you need to love what you’re doing, and then this helps in the comedian for its part in everything-but the moment you enjoy what you’re doing, you try to express yourself, to find your way, and every time is different, of course.
415
I can express all my views on the slavery question by quotations from Henry Clay.
416
I don’t intentionally make my films with the express goal of surprising the viewer.
417
A fight can express things people might not be able to say with words.
Brandon Lee
418
In acting class, you’re trained to express yourself as much as you can.
419
Words can’t express how humbled I am in being given the privilege to portray Gunnery Sergeant Basilone!
Jon Seda
420
I still take photographs for my own use, personal studies. I do not feel that I can fully express my views through the medium and this is why I have moved towards painting.
421
In many ways, the young are more religiously minded than the older generations. I think it’s the flip side of an age of individualism. Youngsters are not afraid to tell you what they think, to express their faith and be quite exuberant about it.
422
I’m happy to help Crest Whitestrips on their mission to inspire photographers everywhere to capture smile moments and would encourage aspiring photographers to express themselves through their photos.
423
My job is to just express something that I want to express. And if I’m ahead or behind the curve, that’s for others to decide.
424
I don’t keep a journal anymore. I did when I was younger, and I think its good for young girls to try and express what they are feeling on paper; it’s cathartic.
425
With the sax, I learned technique well enough so that it feels like part of my body, and I just express myself. That’s where I want to get in golf.
426
I have become a marketing tool and I feel very uncomfortable with that. There’s no space for me to express myself.
427
I just think the mood of the country is now that people don’t necessarily want an elected official to tell them how they ought to cast their vote. Matter of fact, it’s the opposite, and they want to express themselves, and they have a right to, and I’ll respect their choice.
428
Art is a way to express yourself and through that you can escape a bad situation.
429
I am now in Gibraltar. It is a large place and there does not seem to be room in this letter, in which to express my feelings about Moors in bare legs and six thousand Red-coats and to hear Englishmen speak again.
430
I was very shy and I was very introverted as a kid, but whenever I set foot on stage, I kind of opened up, and I think a lot of kids need an outlet to express their creativity. And a lot of kids are scared to do that if there’s not a safe environment for that.
Jeremy Jordan
431
Back in 1960 at Christmas time, I did work loading and unloading boxcars for Railway Express. That was a kind of weight training that helped me. I weighed about 160 when I started. I began to gain weight and kept right on gaining until I reached 195 pounds.
432
It’s up to us to take pop culture back and to express quality and dignity for both boys and girls.
433
Being able to express yourself is one of the hardest things in the world.
434
I think being an actress is more how to cope with the fact that you can’t do anything else than to express a talent. It’s a way of being untalented for anything.
435
Anger has been a really big deal for women: how can we express it without feeling that, as the physically weaker sex, we won’t get killed. The alpha-woman was burned at the stake and had her head chopped off in days of old.
436
I acted professionally for about eight years, and I was writing all that time but never showed anybody any of it. There just came a point after those eight years when I thought, ‘There’s a lot I can do with acting – there are a lot of things I can express and do creatively, but there are also limitations.’
437
Monarchists frequently declare that without the royal family, Britain would be ‘nothing.’ What a woeful lack of love for one’s country such statements express.
438
I’ve never been one for keeping a journal, so my songs were my journals. They allowed me to express my feelings and let people know what was going on with me. I knew that somebody would relate.
439
Russians have a new freedom, but as long as they don’t express that freedom on a public platform.
Marc Almond
440
When I create a song, I immediately think about what I’m going to wear when I perform that song. I think about the music video treatment and about how I’m going to look on stage when I perform the record. The connection is so obvious that it’s a single package. An outfit, to me, is almost a tool to express the music.
441
As Secretary of Housing, I do have to express alarm, signal the alarm if you will, that the potential for homelessness to grow is there.
Henry Cisneros
442
I thought ‘Pineapple Express’ was hilarious.
443
Maybe it has something to do with turning 30. I don’t feel as shy or nervous or self-conscious. I have more confidence that I can handle what life brings me. I don’t feel scared to have an idea and express it.
444
I had learning disabilities, and I couldn’t express myself in the written word.
445
The proof that God has revealed himself to man by special and express communications, and that Christianity constitutes that revelation, is no part of these inquiries.
446
The hostility that America continues to express against the Muslim people has given rise to feelings of animosity on the part of Muslims against America and against the West in general.
Osama bin Laden
447
I know that I’m capable of moving around on the guitar. I can express myself the way I want to and feel good about it. But as far as technical chops, I’m not a learned musician.
Gary Clark, Jr.
448
So I went to Chicago in 1940, I think, ’41, and the photographs that I made there, aside from fashion, were things that I was trying to express in a social conscious way.
Gordon Parks
449
It’s almost better most times to not talk in a scene. I think you can actually express a lot more without words.
450
I can hardly express in words my deep feeling and sympathy for them, knowing as I do, the many serious handicaps and obstacles that will confront them in almost every walk of life.
Major Taylor
451
I feel, as an artist, I should be able to express who I am and the things I come from, and the places I want to also be.
452
Everything I do tries to do the same thing, which is to express things that are hard to express, hidden things.
453
I’ve always loved music, very simply, as a vehicle to express myself and that hasn’t changed.
454
When service members are discharged, we should express our gratitude for their profound personal sacrifice, not hand them a bill for their hospital food.
455
I always felt like I needed to act. Not that I wanted to act, but I needed to. And I still feel that same way. There’s an expression that I get to have in acting that I can’t consciously express in my life. It has always defined me and it always will.
456
Body piercing and baggy clothes express identity among black youth, and not just beginning with hip-hop culture. Moreover, young black entrepreneurs like Sean ‘P. Diddy’ Combs and Russell Simmons have made millions from their clothing lines.
457
Women inspire me. Women in the airports, around the country in different cities, destinations around the world, inspire me with the way they express their individuality. I love watching women and discovering all the ways each person uses a color, pattern, a style, even a lipstick color. I’m a people watcher.
458
Ever since I can remember, I drew, and visual arts have been my main way to express myself. I like dancing, although I’ve never done that very seriously. It’s something I’d like to explore more.
459
Hate is only a form love that hasn’t found a way to express itself logically.
460
I did a lot of thrift and vintage. I would mix those pieces into some of the more inexpensive items from Express, Gap, Old Navy, and Clothestime.
461
Man’s ultimate concern must be expressed symbolically, because symbolic language alone is able to express the ultimate.
Paul Tillich
462
Religion has the right to express its opinion in the service of the people, but God in creation has set us free: it is not possible to interfere spiritually in the life of a person.
463
There’s a way to express femininity and independence and strength without going for hanging fruit.
464
Research universities need excellent means to communicate and express their results to regular people.
John Maeda
465
I don’t care about making anything new. I make music to express an emotion, and if the emotion is nostalgic, so be it.
466
There are matters in the Bible, said to be done by the express commandment of God, that are shocking to humanity and to every idea we have of moral justice.
467
People want to express themselves – that’s what fashion is for. You can go to Target and get something that Rodarte designed for $34, but would you want to go buy the higher version for $3,400? I think most people would say no.
Kelly Cutrone
468
There’s this large trend – I think the next trend in the Web, sort of Web 2.0 – which is to have users really express, offer, and market their own content, their own persona, their identity.
John Doerr
469
The upside to anger? Getting it out of your system. You got to express your anger. Then you have room for more positive things. If I hold something in a long time, and then I speak it, it’s amazing how the light shines so much brighter.
470
Everyone needs a creative outlet to express themselves, and the arts in school provides that.
Amber Riley
471
In externals we advance with lightening express speed, in modes of thought and sympathy we lumber on in stage-coach fashion.
Frances E. Willard
472
As a stand up, and often in acting, there is no place for the most intense feelings. Rage, genuine sorrow, naked hope… These things don’t fit on a comedy stage and if you act you’ll get to express them once in a while. Music is a place for the intensely personal.
473
I never felt any attraction towards violence. I never tried to express myself through violence. Violence is a language.
474
We have been terrorised by what happened in America and we express our condolences to the American people who suffered from this unexpected catastrophe and a new world war.
475
I think we run into issues when our online brands are not rooted in who we are, and I think we need to have explicit discussions with ourselves about who we want to be, what we want to represent, and how we want to express that.
476
The dominant invades the entire picture, as it were. In this way I seek to individualize the color, because I have come to believe that there is a living world of each color and I express these worlds.
Yves Klein
477
When it aims to express a love of the world it refuses to conceal the many reasons why the world is hard to love, though we must love it because we have no other, and to fail to love it is not to exist at all.
Mark Van Doren
478
I choose to express myself.
Dan Fogelberg
479
I get along very well with Paul Ryan personally. We have very deep differences on policy issues. But we express them civilly.
480
Life is too sweet and too short to express our affection with just our thumbs. Touch is meant for more than a keyboard.
481
If Congress does its job in this regard, the residents of Puerto Rico will be empowered to act in their own self-interest and express their future political status aspirations accordingly.
482
It is good to express a thing twice right at the outset and so to give it a right foot and also a left one. Truth can surely stand on one leg, but with two it will be able to walk and get around.
483
I don’t know why femininity should be associated with weakness. Women should be free to express who they are without thinking, ‘I need to act like a man, or I need to tone it down to be successful.’ That’s a very good way to keep women down.
484
Sometimes, the fact that you’re a footballer makes you think that racism can’t happen to you because you bring that passion and you express a lot of things. When it happened to me, I couldn’t believe it, and in that moment, I decided to walk off the pitch.
485
I’m free from holding personal anger because I can express what I want through my music.
486
I cannot adequately express the horror I feel for a man who can be so base as to veil his hypocrisy under the cloak of religion, and state the base falsehood he has done.
487
Having the opportunity to express myself through music has been extremely cathartic for me my entire life.
488
Everybody’s entitled to think whatever they want and to express that, but my personal day-to-day experience does not come into contact with any of those people.
489
I have a desire that I want to make people feel happy through my music. I’m always trying to find optimistic ways to express myself.
490
I was curious and hungry at a young age, and jazz was such a mystery to me, an ocean where you can express yourself in the moment. It represented freedom, it represented wearing wings and going somewhere with music.
491
When Oliver Stone and Woody Allen came forward to express sympathy for Mr. Weinstein, everybody rolled their eyes at them, too.
492
I would say that my idea of style and my taste are the same as when I began: They express my deep appreciation of all that is simple and linear… I always want to keep up with the times but without altering the essential characteristics of my philosophy.
493
Never express yourself more clearly than you are able to think.
Niels Bohr
494
As an actor, you express certain things because they need to be expressed, and then you don’t really feel a need to do it again. I want to feel something else, you know?
495
I knew I wanted to write on religious themes when I was a GI in World War II. I saw and experienced so much violence that I thought I could express my outrage best with music.
496
The federal government does not trample in jackboots those with whom it does business. It wraps them in cotton batting and, when they express ingratitude, apologizes profusely.
497
Dance is a great way to express yourself.
498
I know how fiction matters to me, because if I want to express myself, I have to make up a story. Some people call it imagination. To me, it’s not imagination. It’s just a way of watching.
499
If you want to read and you want to draw, that helps you to express yourself.
500
It is safe to make a choice of your thoughts, scarcely ever safe to express them all.
Isaac Barrow
501
People can express themselves better with images than just text, so they communicate more this way.
502
For me, the importance in learning about the dance is using it as a voice. It’s not about a step, it’s about a way to express oneself.
503
I think it’s important for people to be themselves and express themselves through their makeup or their hair or their perfume or whatever it may be.
504
Whether it’s freedom to express, freedom to live, freedom to earn, freedom to thrive, freedom to learn, whatever it is, I want to make sure that I’m a part of these spaces and opening doors.
Angela Rye
505
I look pretty nondescript. I don’t go out of my way to… I don’t express my personality with my clothes, with my car or my, you know, house. I express with my personality; so as far as what I wear – I don’t really care about that.
506
Initially, I started writing music because I wanted to express my thoughts and get what was going on in my head out to the world.
507
If there’s one theme in all my work, it’s about authenticity and self-expression. It’s the idea that some things are, in some real sense, really you – or express what you and others aren’t.
508
The artist sees the tragic to such a degree that he is compelled to express the non-tragic.
509
Pat O’Brien knows nothing. He’s on the Hell express.
Rob Corddry
510
The way I process things, they way I express myself, is in comics, just as poets process things that they are trying to understand.
Ellen Forney
511
Perhaps it is the language that chooses the writers it needs, making use of them so that each might express a tiny part of what it is.
512
My voice and the styles and genres I sing all express my appreciation for what I hear.
513
We’re living at a time where if you do a Google search for a ‘show, review and network,’ you’ll get ‘The New York Times‘ and Pete Billingsley from a town you’ve never heard of on the same results page. It’s kind of democratizing the process so that everyone has access to a distribution system to express themselves.
514

Constantin Brancusi
519
The thing you see in survivors is that they express feelings – I won’t say some of the things they tell their doctors, when doctors tell them they’re going to die in six months. Boy, do they let the doctor know how they feel about that statement.
520
These days we seem more bound to our bosses than ever before. We even identify our own selves with the jobs we do: ‘What do you do?’ is the first question we ask each other at parties, as if a job title could express a fundamental truth about our personality.
521
I cannot persuade myself that a beneficent and omnipotent God would have designedly created parasitic wasps with the express intention of their feeding within the living bodies of Caterpillars.
522
I think it’s an okay thing to express yourself.
523
Sometimes when I see a performance that really takes me, I struggle. How can I express this to this person, I want this person to know how I felt. I want to get this across, and it’s not very easy.
524
The roles that have come into my life have taught me – and in that time period maybe I didn’t even know it, but whatever came up or whatever it is that you have to express at that time, has benefitted me in a particular way.

528
As a working-class actor, leaving school with no qualifications, being a printer and then becoming an actor and then working with people who to a certain extent had had a leg up. I never had that advantage. It’s less an artistic need to express myself and more a need to prove myself.
529
I’m able to sometimes express things even more articulately on the piano than I am with singing.
530
The two genres that probably take the most flack in literature – they are young adult and romance right now. I don’t think it’s a coincidence that these are genres that provide places for women to express desire and love for adventure, for the opportunity to be placed to heroic roles.
531
It is better not to express what one means than to express what one does not mean.
532
This is the power of fashion: the capability of allowing people to express themselves.

Louis Sullivan
536
I deplore any action which denies artistic talent an opportunity to express itself because of prejudice against race origin.
Bess Truman
537
As always, I wrote songs. Some people cook or play sports. This is what I love to do. Sometimes I can’t express myself that well in talk, so I write songs.
Yael Naim
538
My own approach has always been to push intense emotions down and attempt to deal with them later. When I was younger, I was terrified to express anger because it would often kick-start a horrible reaction in the men in my life.
539
It’s only when an artist becomes a master that they are fully able to express themselves.
Carolina Kostner
540
Westminster politics is very unattractive, and people are channelling political energy into more inward questioning – there are a lot of musicians whose songs are all about feeling, and it’s almost like that’s the only safe place to express yourself.
541
Everyone is allowed to be vulnerable. I think women and men and dogs and cats and ants and aliens can all express themselves and be vulnerable.
542
Acting had been a hobby that turned into a career, the directing was a hobby that turned into a career, and music just really allowed me to find another way to express myself. I started playing bass in November 1996, and by June 1998 I was doing my first live show.
543
I’m a person of faith, and the language that I use to define my faith, the symbols and metaphors that I rely upon to express my faith, are those provided by Islam because they make the most sense to me.
544
The fact that our government is using instruments of government like the IRS to punish its opponents, this is not the kind of thing that is a Democrat or a Republican issue. This is an American issue… A lot of people do not feel free to express themselves.
545
My personal feelings are my personal feelings. I don’t want to express them with anyone except for a very few people. It doesn’t do any good. It really doesn’t.
546
I will not restrict myself. I want to do films and TV: both mediums are amazing to reach to the audience and express your art form, and if both are available, then why not exploit them?
547
We have a lot of freedom to express ourselves. When you see us playing on the field, I guess you can make that out. This batting unit, especially, is fearless. We want to go out there and achieve the best possible result.
548
I always thought that it was every performer’s dream. That’s the epitome of being an artist, being able to express song, dance and acting in a live theatre setting and really connecting with an audience on that level.
549
Having knowledge but lacking the power to express it clearly is no better than never having any ideas at all.
Pericles
550
I wanted to do journalism, as I was an idealist. Then, in my second year of journalism, I realized that in real life, things don’t work the way you expect them to. I realized that I could express my ideas better through films.
551
The news that comes out of Pakistan is always geared toward terrorism and fundamentalism. But when you give people freedom of expression and the freedom to go out and be social and to express themselves, you will see a change. I see that coming about in my country.
552
Some days, I’ll be very down and out, but you won’t be able to tell, really, because I don’t express that side of myself on social media. That’s the side of myself that I express through music.
553
The vampires have always been metaphors for me. They’ve always been vehicles through which I can express things I have felt very, very deeply.
554
Well, we were originally called Huey Lewis and the American Express. But on the eve of the release of our first record, our record label, Chrysalis Records was afraid that we’d be sued by American Express.
Huey Lewis
555
For me, acting is like a therapy. I can express myself fully when I am acting and have blood in my veins. Even when I’m not working, I’m always living in my own world, imagining characters.
556
I’m encouraging other people, whether they’re professionals or not, to use their creativity to express themselves, to get a conversation going, to get the party started, really.
557
There are no words to adequately express my gratitude to the people.
558

559
At 6 years old, the ice became a place for me to express myself. Because I was so shy off the ice, it became my safe haven, with music and freedom and self-expression. That was my emotional outlet.
560
In playing, I suppose my greatest gift was to express the way I felt or the willingness to express myself.
561

Bruce Lee
562
I started my YouTube channel when I was 13. At the time, I was being bullied by a few people who I used to be very close to. I felt very alone and unmotivated. After discovering the beauty community, I decided it would be a great way to express myself and use it as an outlet to be who I am.
563
I quote others only in order the better to express myself.
564
I think what makes me different from the average Joe is that I feel free to be myself and express myself in the way that I want. If that makes you mad, we’re living in a world of dire straits. If anything, it makes you more sane.
565
People often express surprise that I’m not a psychopath. But it’s not about what I want to do to other people, it’s that I’m scared of what other people might do to me.
Neil Cross
566
The Iranian regime doesn’t express the wishes and values of the Iranian people.
Moshe Katsav
567
Fashion is a way you can express yourself, so it’s good stuff, you know?
568
We need to make sure that there’s art in the school. Why? Why should art be in the school? Because if art isn’t in a school, then a guy like Steve Jobs doesn’t get a chance to really express himself because in order for art to meet technology, you need art.
569
The only reason I made a commercial for American Express was to pay for my American Express bill.
570
When a performance isn’t working, it’s usually because the actor is trying to do something and they’re not able to express their idea very well. It’s a muddled expression.
571

Michael Feldman
572
Believe in yourself, and find ways to express yourself, and find the discipline to keep growing.
573
It’s not the physical location of birth that defines citizenship, but whether your parents are citizens, and the express or implied consent to jurisdiction of the sovereign.
574
Words are not even within me. They’re not in my vocabulary to really express the kind of feeling that I had.
575
The value of a scientific publication goes beyond this simple benefit, of all relevant information appearing, unambiguously, in one place. It’s also a way to communicate your ideas to your scientific peers, and invite them to express an informed view.
576
The football field was a place where I could express myself and just be me. Play the game as well as you can and that’s what you’re judged on. Not the colour of your skin, or your beliefs, or the conversation you have around racism.
577
As artists, we thrive when we can express our comfort and our discomfort. If a certain scene is really challenging for us, if we’re in an environment where we feel safe, we’re able to do our work.
578
To me, tattoos are a way of people being able to express themselves and have other people look at them and get a little insight into who they are, without ever even saying a word to them.
579

Sonny Terry
580
My drawing skills probably froze around when I was 18… Now I’m more interested in the story, how the drawings, the layout can help express the stories and communicate them.
581
The Polar Express is about faith, and the power of imagination to sustain faith. It’s also about the desire to reside in a world where magic can happen, the kind of world we all believed in as children, but one that disappears as we grow older.
582
As an artist, you have to express yourself. I make no excuses for my versatility. I grew up singing classical arias, but I love rock n’ roll and jazz standards.
583
World War II affected the male population in a very detrimental way. They were happy to be home, happy to be alive, happy they won, but they could not express to anybody the horror they had been through.
584
Language is wild – you can’t fence it or tell it what to do – and it’s the same with people. Even under the worst excesses of Stalinism or consumerism, the human spirit will still express itself.
585
I like people and get along, and I’m afraid to express my anger and my rage.
Fisher Stevens
586
My biggest thing has always been privacy. With an interview such as this where the questions are about me, I struggle to express myself. I have an immediate answer in my head of what I’d say, but sometimes I feel that it would be too honest. So these wheels of censorship start going around my head.
587
When I was younger, my mother and I, we’d have these crazy, crazy fights. Everyone would storm out mad, and the only way that I’d be able to express myself was to write her. We would write letters back and forth for days. When I’m writing, I feel uninterrupted. I write what I’m going through and how I see it.
588
A good marriage is one which allows for change and growth in the individuals and in the way they express their love.
589
It may be that that we can sing what we often cannot say, whether it be from shyness, fear, lack of the right words or the passion or dramatic gift to express them. More souls have rallied to more causes by the strains of music than by straining rhetoric.
Richard Rodgers

I need to just be myself, express myself.

Lemn Sissay
596
To grasp the full significance of life is the actor’s duty, to interpret it is his problem, and to express it his dedication.
597
Motivation is just this potion to create stuff, a compulsion to express the truth of my own experiences in this life.
598
When you’re choosing furniture for your home that’s supposed to express who you are, what you are also saying is you want other people to infer what you want them to infer. What if they see something different? Wouldn’t it be really depressing if you’re trying to be bohemian and instead they see you as Rush Limbaugh?
599
When I have a lot of emotion going on, I’ll write. I write letters to my family, my boyfriend, anyone I’m trying to get my point across to. It’s easier for me to express myself.
600
Language… has created the word ‘loneliness‘ to express the pain of being alone. And it has created the word ‘solitude‘ to express the glory of being alone.
Paul Tillich
601
Do you believe in Madonna? Because Lady Gaga has got something to say about ‘Express Yourself,’ and she’s turned Madonna’s fourth-best single of 1989 into her own instant-classic club anthem, ‘Born This Way.’
602
It is not that the French are not profound, but they all express themselves so well that we are led to take their geese for swans.
Van Wyck Brooks
603
This business switching styles can’t be done honestly by one man. As soon as he can play his instrument well, he can express himself, and all his life he has only one self.
Jimmy Rushing
604
I design things to help people to hopefully express their personality.
605
Individuals have the right to pick and choose which expressions to condemn, which to praise and which to say nothing about. Governments, however, must remain neutral as to the content of expression. And governments must protect the rights of all to express even the most despicable of views.
606
I want to encourage students during school hours to express their views, to discuss their views in the classroom or the playground.
607
There’s something known as the Uncanny Valley where things look a little too real and you’re not quite sure what you’re looking at. It becomes weird like it did in ‘The Polar Express,’ where the eyes seem so realistic, and yet you know it’s animated.
608
For me, it is OK as long as I can breathe, as long as my heart is pumping, as long as I can express myself.

611
It is from him, from Beolco Ruzzante, that I’ve learned to free myself from conventional literary writing and to express myself with words that you can chew, with unusual sounds, with various techniques of rhythm and breathing, even with the rambling nonsense-speech of the ‘grammelot.’
612
The problem with me is, I guess, the way I express myself, you have to be with me 50 years before you can get a sense of what I’m talking about.
613

Now, what we are not talking about, what you’re really coming to, is what compromises one makes so that the listener understands somewhat of what you’re doing, what you’re trying to express.
617
I understand why people went nuts for ‘The Artist.’ We use words so much, it’s nice to be able to explore a different way of communication, to be able to express silently what someone – or something – is thinking or feeling.
618
I always had music growing up, but music was also like a journal. It was like my personal diary or personal journal. A lot of the things I couldn’t express to an individual, I would express them in my music.
619
I’m voraciously looking to express myself in my work. I love my work.
620
Education in British schools isn’t good enough. It’s not remotely imaginative enough. It lets down too many children, excluding them from society, and, as I’ve often said, people who are excluded from society tend to express themselves in ways not acceptable to society.
621
I’m bored way too easily. I’m staring at screens half the day. I need to be overstimulated. And how will that express itself artistically?
622

623
Growing up with three boys in a heavily male-dominated world, I especially needed to express myself as a woman.
624
You can always draw as well as you know how to. I flatter myself that I feel more than I express on canvas; but I know that is not so.
625
You’ve got to be who you are. You’ve got to be honest with people. If your views change on something, you’ve got to be willing to express it.
626
It has always appeared to me, that there is so much to be done in this world, that all self-inflicted suffering which cannot be turned to good account for others, is a loss – a loss, if you may so express it, to the spiritual world.
Arthur Helps
627
Democracy cannot succeed unless those who express their choice are prepared to choose wisely. The real safeguard of democracy, therefore, is education.
628
All human beings are very creative – full of potential, full of energy… So, money kind of allows them to express it… And if you’re successful, you can take more money. You can expand your capacity, reach next level of capacity, and so on.
629
People call me a feminist whenever I express sentiments that differentiate me from a doormat or a prostitute.
630
You’ve got to express yourself in life, and it’s better out than in. What you reveal, you heal.

Flash content is the most prolific content on the web today; it is the way people express themselves on the Internet.
Gary Kovacs
632

633
There’s kind of a gift in being gay because, if you come out, you’re forced to express yourself.
634
I think I’ve grown a lot in the last few years, and I needed to express myself as an artist on this. It wasn’t necessarily about going in and making an album chocked full of hit singles… there were a lot of things I did out of the joy and the want to do it.
Terri Clark
635
To me, that’s what music entails. It’s freedom, it’s having the undeniable confidence to express yourself in a way that you know is right.
636
I find that classical music helps put me in a place that is very calming and allows me to express emotion through my body. I played clarinet as a child, so I guess I have a bit of a musical ear.
637
We have to express ourselves in the most true and authentic way.
638
These are hallowed moments, when every American has reason to express his gratitude to Almighty God that it has been our good fortune to witness the light of this auspicious morn.

I am here on Earth to express myself, and the many media of art are my magic carpets that allow me the freedom to do so.
