Everybody is sitting around saying, ‘Well, jeez, we need somebody to solve this problem of bias.’ That somebody is us. We all have to try to figure out a better way to get along.

I think to adequately manage a crisis, you have to see it. Because there’s only so much somebody else can tell you about it, and they impose their own distortions on the description. You need to see it yourself.
15
The energy necessary to create a wormhole or to wrap time into nuts is incredible. It’s not for us. It’s maybe for our descendants who have mastered the energy of this technology. So if one day, somebody knocks on your door and claims to be your great great great great granddaughter, don’t slam the door.

36
37
38
I do what I do. You like it, great. You don’t, go listen to somebody else. I’m stickin’ with the people who stuck with me.
39

Have you ever loved somebody, loved her completely, but had to end the relationship for life reasons?
41
42
I’m not somebody who gets teared up or anything, but I still look up at the stars, and it gives me hope, and it gives me energy. I think one of the things that we have to think about it is, we are all a part of this universe.
43
It’s not like you can say, ‘This is the right side and this is the wrong side,’ because obviously, a happy person is never going to want to inflict pain on somebody else. So the bullies are really victims themselves and yada, yada, yada, pop psychology, but it’s true.
44
45
I’ve never been the type of guy to be somebody I’m not.
46
47
We rarely know what motivates somebody in their work, and it’s usually a particular moment in their life. For me, that moment is my brother’s incarceration and the ways in which this country has decided to neglect, abuse, and sometimes torture people with severe mental illness, especially if they’re black.
48

57

I don’t play favorites with people. My basic philosophy is that the only way to make the world a better place is by bringing something beautiful to every single person you run into at every moment of the day, so how can you play favorites with somebody?
61
I feel like if I can help somebody look at money differently or manage their finances differently or spend a little differently, then I feel like I’m doing my job. So I’ll try to help them see the bigger picture and think longevity versus the temporary spending that we’re kind of accustomed to.
62
63
I don’t ever wish I was somebody else.
64
I’ve always wanted to play a Marvel baddie. I’m not sure I fit the mold, though. Like a powerful, extraordinary woman. Somebody with superpowers would be really fun, but I’m not sure how many middle-aged women they have in Marvel.
65
66
67
68
I think, in general, this country makes a huge deal about nudity and not a big enough deal about violence. We’re allowed to cut people’s heads off on shows – but not allowed to show breasts or somebody breastfeeding or whatever. I think it’s a big deal in America especially. But I think to each is own.
69
70
Being Latino and being an actor has been a unique struggle and opportunity. When you don’t fit into what may be a more stereotypical vision of somebody whose name is Pedro is, it can be a little bit harder to navigate.
71
I think I’ve kind of been mistaken for somebody who’s trying to be a spokesperson for animal rights, and the fact is I’m not qualified to be a spokesperson. I am passionate about it, but I’m not trying to make other people do what I do.
72
73
Solitude is part of my life, and I don’t mind that. I like it. I love it. I don’t allow loneliness to be part of my life, let’s put it that way. I really won’t allow it. If I feel lonely, I phone somebody or I go for a walk or a swim, get the endorphins going, because I hate feeling lonely.
74
75
76
77
In my opinion, the only real asset one has is one’s reputation, right? I mean, any company and institution can go belly up at any time. But if you have a good reputation, you know, you can usually find somebody who can – who thinks they can use what you have to offer.

When you see me smash somebody’s skull, you enjoy it.
84
I have to believe that somebody up there thinks I’ve still got some work to do.
85

Somebody’s upset with every movie.
91
92
93
People now know of the word intervention and think they understand what it means, but more often than not they go about intervening the wrong way. I see people staging things on their own. But discussing the nature of somebody’s condition over breakfast isn’t an intervention.
94
95
I think the cinematography in ‘Mr. Robot‘ is some of the best I’ve ever seen, honestly. Not even as being part of the show but as somebody who enjoys cinema and movies in film and TV.
96
97
98
I have a lot of respect for people, and I feel they are far more sensible and responsible than to ape or imitate somebody.
99
100
Those newspapers of the nation which most loudly cried dictatorship against me would have been the first to justify the beginnings of dictatorship by somebody else.
101
102
So much has been said and sung of beautiful young girls, why doesn’t somebody wake up to the beauty of old women.
103
Love somebody. Just one person. And then spread that to two. And as many as you can. You’ll see the difference it makes.
104
105
I had a stroll like this in the park with somebody, and I saw the ice and I thought, ‘what would happen if I go in there?’ I was really attracted to it. I went in, got rid of my clothes. Thirty seconds I was in. Tremendous good feeling when I came out, and since then, I repeated it every day.
106
107
I’m an enormous admirer of Christopher Lee. He’s somebody, along with Vincent Price, who I celebrate, and I wanted my movies to show that celebration and that honoring of these great film stars that were unafraid to go into horror and Grand Guignol and the macabre.
108
You can lose when you outscore somebody in a game. And you can win when you’re outscored.
109
For more and more of us, home has really less to do with a piece of soil than, you could say, with a piece of soul. If somebody suddenly asks me, ‘Where’s your home?’ I think about my sweetheart or my closest friends or the songs that travel with me wherever I happen to be.
110
All my life, I always wanted to be somebody. Now I see that I should have been more specific.
111
I haven‘t been as wild with my money as somebody like me might have been. I’ve been very safe, very conservative with investments. I don’t blow money. I don’t have a ton of houses. I know things can go away. I’ve already had that experience.
112
113
114
115
116
The kind of poet who founds and reconstitutes values is somebody like Yeats or Whitman – these are public value-founders.
117
I think it takes a strong man to be in a relationship with a strong woman. A lot of people hear the word ‘diva‘ and think of it as a negative. I see it as a positive. I want somebody who knows what they want out of life and isn’t afraid to show it.
118
Distance is a bad excuse for not having a good relationship with somebody. It’s the determination to keep it going or let it fall by the wayside; that’s the real reason that the relationships continue.
119
120
121
No matter what accomplishments you make, somebody helped you.
122
When you steal from somebody, you are saying to them, ‘I don’t respect how hard you worked for your money.’ When somebody steals from you, that’s what they’re saying.
123
124
It’s wonderful to be in love. And it’s definitely wonderful to cuddle and have sex and get to experience life with somebody. But it’s OK if you don’t find him and you’re 24. You can find it someday.
125
Every time there’s a revolution, it comes from somebody reading a book about revolution. David Walker wrote a book and Nat Turner did his thing.
126
I’m a big believer in the emotion of design, and the message that’s sent before somebody begins to read, before they get the rest of the information; what is the emotional response they get to the product, to the story, to the painting – whatever it is.
127
Somebody called me a homophobe. I’m not homophobic.
128
129
130
As a producer, sitting on the other side of the desk, I have never once had an agent go out on a limb for his client and fight for him. I’ve never heard one say, ‘No, just a minute! This is the actor you should use.’ They will always say, ‘You don’t like him? I’ve got somebody else.’ They’re totally spineless.
131
Somebody once said we never know what is enough until we know what’s more than enough.
132
133
I’ve had an unbelievable life. I’ve been very lucky. You do create your own luck too, you know? I never forget where I’m from. Whenever I pass a building site or see somebody digging a ditch, I always think, ‘That’s real work.’
134
I have made the mistaken assumption – and I will attempt to be better at this – of thinking that because somebody is on Twitter and is attacking me that it is open season. And that is my mistake.
135
136
Fighting means you could lose. Bullying means you can’t. A bully wants to beat somebody; he doesn’t want to fight somebody.
137
It’s not a good feeling to hide a huge part of your life. If you were meant to be somebody else, you’d be somebody else, so don’t change who you are.
138
People destroy relationships because they force unnecessary issues instead of letting it grow naturally and organically. Once somebody feels trapped or forced into something it’s only a matter of time before they run.
139
140
141
142
143
I go a lot to see young people downtown in little theaters. It’s great. If you start somebody’s career, it’s so exciting.
144
I am really a loner after all; I am really not a social person. Because of my job, people think I am out every night, but I really hate all that. I am somebody who likes to be alone and see some close friends. I am a shy and introspective person.
145
My life is not to be somebody else’s impact – you know what I mean?
146
147
I got taught respect because if not, somebody’s gonna make you respect them.
148
If somebody tells you that you have ears like a donkey, pay no attention. But if two people tell you so, buy yourself a saddle.
149
150
I want to be very close to someone I respect and admire and have somebody who feels the same way about me.
151
Maybe one of the most heartening findings from the psychology of pleasure is there’s more to looking good than your physical appearance. If you like somebody, they look better to you. This is why spouses in happy marriages tend to think that their husband or wife looks much better than anyone else thinks that they do.
152
153
154
Folks don’t like to have somebody around knowing more than they do.
155
156
Just because somebody wants to be alone sometimes, it doesn’t mean they don’t love you.
157
Do your job. Do it the best you can. Do it right, because somebody, sometimes your best friend, is waiting for you to screw up so she can take your place.
158
159
The best way to find out if you can trust somebody is to trust them.
160
161
162
163
I get a friend to travel with me… I need somebody to bring me back to who I am. It’s hard to be alone.
164
165
166
167
168
It’s never guaranteed for somebody to be successful. It just really be God.
169
You can’t just walk away when somebody recognizes you. You have to take some time out and talk to them. It’s not a waste of time – I just love talking to people. And I don’t do this to sell records. The truth is, I do what I do because I love it.
170
The Big Chill is one of those things that everybody can identify with. Between eight characters, they can pick somebody who’s somewhat like them.
171
172
173
Everything of importance has been said before by somebody who did not discover it.
174
175
176
177
If somebody is good to me, I’ll reciprocate. What’s the harm? If somebody says ‘Hello’ to me, I won’t turn my back on him.
178
179
If you can keep playing tennis when somebody is shooting a gun down the street, that’s concentration.
180
181
Anybody can be unhappy. We can all be hurt. You don’t have to be poor to need something or somebody. Rednecks, hippies, misfits – we’re all the same. Gay or straight? So what? It doesn’t matter to me. We have to be concerned about other people, regardless.
182
I say I never wanna get married. I feel trapped with the idea of marriage. How can you really be with somebody forever? I’d get bored! As I get older, I don’t settle. I’d rather tell somebody ‘This is what I want – take it or leave it.’
183
184
185
No matter how bad you think you have it, there’s always – always somebody who’s got it way, way worse.
186
Since the departure of good old-fashioned entertainers the re-emergence of somebody who wants to be an entertainer has unfortunately become a synonym for camp. I don’t think I’m camper than any other person who felt at home on stage, and felt more at home on stage than he did offstage.
187
Hate is self-destructive. If you hate somebody, you’re not hurting the person you hate. You’re hurting yourself. And that’s a healing. Actually, it’s a real healing, forgiveness.
188
Me and my family are straight. I am blessed. I am alive, man, and I am healthy, and that is the only thing that matters. Me and my family, everybody else, it really doesn’t matter because why do you care about somebody talking negative about you if they don’t know you?
189
190
I change during the course of a day. I wake and I’m one person, and when I go to sleep I know for certain I’m somebody else.
191
I’m throwing myself back in because I like being married. I don’t want to end this whole fabulous journey alone. I want someone by my side who I love and who loves me. I’ve finally found somebody who’s up to the task of being my wife, because I’m very high maintenance.
192
I’m somebody who constantly wants to challenge himself, evolve, and grow. Because if you don’t, you fade. You become stagnant.
193
Somebody may beat me, but they are going to have to bleed to do it.
194
We all have those days when you feel like you’re against the world, every little thing goes wrong and your blood pressure is up. And you feel like punching somebody!
195
Going through life solo isn’t very exciting if you can’t share it with somebody, you know?
196
A somebody was once a nobody who wanted to and did.
197
I’m somebody who tries to remain positive and looks forward to setting goals and reaching them. But that’s easier said than done.
198
I don’t like to just talk about nothing, or less than nothing. If it’s something interesting, I’m fine with it, but, ‘Hey, Zack, how is your day?’ People ask that, and somebody actually tells them what happened in their day? I don’t have any real interest in that.
199
Always be a first-rate version of yourself, instead of a second-rate version of somebody else.
200
Theater is where you go to find out something new that you don’t know. It goes through somebody’s brain and comes out in a comprehensible way that is beautiful, that’s really interesting.
201
I think a lot of comedy is about making fun of people at the expense of somebody.
202
I mean, if you’re being directed very precisely by somebody who has admiration and who’s really smart, it’s great. If you’re being told what to do by a nincompoop – and luckily that hasn’t happened very often – it can be very frustrating.
203
204
I think you have to be what you are. Don’t try to be somebody else. You have to be yourself at all times.
205
206
207
208
209
Everyone romanticizes somebody.
210
As long as I keep it real, I learn something from everyone. And when you view yourself as a student and not as somebody who’s bigger, there is still learning that can be done every day, and that keeps you open-minded and more ready to learn about life and love.
211
You don’t have to be poor to need something or somebody.
212
213
If you can fart in front of somebody, you know that they love you.
214
I’m not devastated over a baseball game. If somebody came to me and said, ‘Your wife is terminally ill.’ Or, if my kids and wife get on a plane and I got a call that said, ‘Something happened with the plane,’ that’s devastating.
215
You don’t go to Notre Dame to learn something; you go to Notre Dame to be somebody.
216
I think it’s fun to serve comfort food because it’s an instant ice-breaker. If somebody’s expecting fancy food, and you whip out some fried chicken, they feel like, you know, they can put their elbows on the table, and the etiquette police aren’t going to come out.
217
We are told there is not enough money for education, but somehow there is enough money for people to raise billions of dollars to defeat somebody in an election? Oh! Okay! Does that make sense?
218
An artist is somebody who enters into competition with God.
219
When you forgive somebody, it doesn’t necessarily mean you want to invite them to your table.
220
Maybe I’m a dreamer, but I think the ordinary guy has just as much right to say ‘This is a good song‘ as somebody who is in the music business.
221
Brotherhood means laying down your life for somebody, really willing to sacrifice yourself for somebody else.
222
One of the processes of your life is to constantly break down that inferiority, to constantly reaffirm that I Am Somebody.
223
When you are suffering, you become more understanding about yourself, but also about other people’s sufferings too. That’s the first step to understand somebody is to understand their sufferings. So then love follows.
224
The Vice-Presidency is sort of like the last cookie on the plate. Everybody insists he won’t take it, but somebody always does.
225
226
If you have the ability to convince somebody of something that you don’t necessarily think is the case, it’s a valuable asset. Not that I’m, like, a pathological liar, but we spend most of the day not fully being honest, you know?
227
228
It started back in 2002, when there was hardly any reality television. ‘Survivor‘ had just started. My hope and dream was that ‘The Bachelor‘ would last one or two nights on network TV, so I might meet somebody in the network and then I could get a real job.
229
I usually get my stuff from people who promised somebody else that they would keep it a secret.
230
231
I can’t keep somebody from being a star, and I can’t make somebody a star, and nobody can.
232
233
There is something curiously boring about somebody else’s happiness.
234
235
236
237
I’m not going to get upset because somebody said something bad about me.
238
The biggest mistake that you can make is to believe that you are working for somebody else. Job security is gone. The driving force of a career must come from the individual. Remember: Jobs are owned by the company, you own your career!
239
There’s so much more to life than that, though I think that acting is fascinating because you can forget your own sorrow as you act and become somebody else.
240
There’s so many different ways to cheat. People think infidelity is the way to cheat. I think it’s sometimes far worse to emotionally cheat on somebody.
241
It’s getting harder and harder to differentiate between schizophrenics and people talking on a cell phone. It still brings me up short to walk by somebody who appears to be talking to themselves.
242
243
244
245
246
The country is yearning for a change. I’d rather take my chances on somebody new, particularly with regard to the Supreme Court.
247
Freedom isn’t to do what you want at somebody else’s expense.
248
You can’t stay mad at somebody who makes you laugh.
249
I tell all the young guys, don’t make choices because somebody else is telling you it’s good from a career-maintenance perspective.
250
It’s always helpful to have somebody help buoy you in difficult times and problem-solve with and to share the marvelous moments with as well.
251
252
I have found that the only thing that does bring you happiness is doing something good for somebody who is incapable of doing it for themselves.
253
Life is too short to be living somebody else’s dream.
254
255
I’ve always wanted to be somebody, but I see now I should have been more specific.
256
I like it when somebody tells me a story, and I actually really feel that that’s becoming like a lost art in American cinema.
257
Apathy in general; people who are not standing up for what they believe in because somebody’s got a louder mouth than them; it doesn’t make any sense.
258
259
I have to read something positive every single day. I have to have faith that the day is unfolding in a way that is going to be useful to somebody else… For me, living every day in gratitude has been profound for me.
260
My mission my whole career was just to be somebody that you can look at and say, ‘That’s the guy I want to go into battle with.’
261
All kids need is a little help, a little hope and somebody who believes in them.
262
The idea is to improve somebody’s day. That’s how I’ve always viewed my job. I’m a distraction therapist. I make people’s problems go away for just a little bit.
263
264
We have to go into the despair and go beyond it, by working and doing for somebody else, by using it for something else.
265
266
267
268
I think the sexiest thing on anybody is intelligence. I respect somebody who has a brain and wants to use it more than a pretty face and status.
269
In the Old Testament, it says that if you have the power to do something good, then you have to do it. You’re not to avoid helping somebody in their time of need.
270
There’s probably as many rules of thumb to wrestling as anything in the world, and then there’s just as many exceptions to every one of those rules because somebody doesn’t fit that thumb.
271
272
Somebody said to me that I speak English almost like somebody for whom English is not their first language.
273
274
Johnnie Cochran was such a heroic figure for getting the acquittal of O.J. Simpson, and the acquittal was such a historical event because it was the first time that I’d seen somebody who looked like me have the criminal justice system work in their favor rather than against.
275
I’m sick of just liking people. I wish to God I could meet somebody I could respect.
276
I don’t personally believe that villains exist. Villains are just a way of saying that somebody has an opposing conviction.
277
The idea of a spiritual heart transplant is a vivid image to me; once you have the heart of somebody else inside you, then that heart is there. Jesus’ heart is inside me, and my heart is gone. So if God were to place a stethoscope against my chest, he would hear the heart of Jesus Christ beating.
278
My dark sound could be heard across a room clearer than somebody with a reedy sound. It had more projection. My sound always seemed to fill a room.
279
280
This is a revolution, damnit! We’re going to have to offend somebody!
281
I’m not somebody that’s trying to be somebody else. I’m being myself for the most part and people respect that.
282
283
I used to get the feeling, and sometimes I still get it, that sometimes I was fooling somebody; I don’t know who or what, maybe myself.
284
A man can get discouraged many times but he is not a failure until he begins to blame somebody else and stops trying.
285
It’s easier to sell cotton candy than it is to sell broccoli to somebody, but the broccoli is better for you, and the same thing with a limited government.
286
Unfortunately, everything we do, somebody is going to have a cell phone. And you’ve got to be careful.
287
I don’t see myself as somebody special. I just see myself as Aaron, the same guy I’ve been all my life.
288
289
Although Ronald Reagan was somebody I disagreed with on most ideological things, he was a friend of mine, and he was a very, very likable man. Ronald Reagan, for instance, was maybe more able to get the very rich to do the right thing sometimes.
290
Art makes us feel less alone. It makes us think: somebody else has thought this, somebody else has had these feelings.
291
Everything is funny, as long as it’s happening to somebody else.
292
293
If somebody knows me, they know for sure I’m from Poland because I’m playing for my country every tournament, every match. I’m staying in my hometown and my home country because that is where I feel comfortable. I feel good there.
294
Books of exploration have always fascinated me, like somebody going up the Amazon for the first time.
295
Everybody has to be somebody to somebody to be anybody.
296
Everything starts as somebody’s daydream.
297
298
Every murderer is probably somebody’s old friend.
299
300
301
Being in a successful marriage is no different than being cast in a successful movie. It’s all about who you pick; in that first moment, did you pick the right person? I think you need to pick somebody who’s more interested in being married than in getting married.
302
If somebody says I’m a leader or notices the things I try to do to be a leader, it’s the ultimate compliment.
303
If somebody’s looking at pictures of naked people and you go, ‘Oh I don’t want to see that,’ you’re lying. Cause naked people are always interesting. Always. Whether they’re beautiful, or naked or 500 pounds.
304
No matter how many times you say you’re sorry, somebody is not going to hear you.
305
You just never give up, no matter how hard the challenges are, and observe this world with a healthy dose of criticism and don’t just follow the herd like somebody else might do.
306
Somebody asked me – you know, how come it took you so long to win a national championship? And I said, ‘I’m a slow learner; but you notice when I learn something, I have it down pretty good.’
307
308
People can judge me for what I’ve done. And I think when somebody’s out in the public eye, that’s what they do. So I’m fully comfortable with who I am, what I stand for, and what I’ve always stood for.
309
310
Do it no matter what. If you believe in it, it is something very honorable. If somebody around you or your family does not understand it, then that’s their problem. But if you do have a passion, an honest passion, just do it.
311
312
313
Growing up, I decided, a long time ago, I wouldn’t accept any manmade differences between human beings, differences made at somebody else’s insistence or someone else’s whim or convenience.
314
There’s very little advice in men’s magazines, because men don’t think there’s a lot they don’t know. Women do. Women want to learn. Men think, ‘I know what I’m doing, just show me somebody naked.’
315
I could sit right here and have a 15-minute conversation with somebody and change their whole life.
316
If anybody’s getting a shot, somebody’s getting a shot against me because I’m the guy to beat.
317
I think a great leader is somebody who realizes it’s not about them, it’s about the people that they’re serving, that they’re really other-directed rather than self- directed.
318
319
A lot of times when you keep it real with somebody, you can’t expect them to keep it real with you.
320
I don’t know if I practiced more than anybody, but I sure practiced enough. I still wonder if somebody – somewhere – was practicing more than me.
321
322
That’s what a god is. Somebody who knows more than you do about whatever you’re dealing with.
323
Somebody up there likes me. It ain’t like I’ve followed a well trodden trajectory.
324
Somebody will be able to overcome any encryption technique you use!
325
Money begets money. If you don’t have that, you wait around to be hired by somebody at the mercy of others. If you have that money in your hand, you desperately try to make the best use of it and move ahead. And that’s generating income for yourself.
326
Honestly, man, I’m not somebody who wants the celebrity. I could really care less about that stuff. I know everyone says it, but I get overwhelmed by it all sometimes.
327
It’s presumptuous to say you know how somebody feels.
328
The role of the musician is to go from concept to full execution. Put another way, it’s to go from understanding the content of something to really learning how to communicate it and make sure it’s well-received and lives in somebody else.
329
330
As authors, most – most authors, our art is portraying the human condition. Trying to show you what it’s like to be somebody else, trying to make you feel for somebody else. That means you have to have a high degree of empathy.
331
We have secrets, and we have the same secrets that criminals have. Sometimes the only difference between a criminal and a law-abiding citizen is that somebody found out the criminal’s secret.
332
It would be great to do a story and get somebody who is innocent out of jail. That’s a wonderful thing.
333
334
If somebody can make a joke about you on TV, that’s so beautiful. You’ve affected pop culture to that degree.
335
Even when I was in high school and the Navy, I was the guy who could rip somebody, and they’d laugh at it.
336
337
338
Perseverance is a great element of success. If you only knock long enough and loud enough at the gate, you are sure to wake up somebody.
339
Somebody once asked me if I ever went up to the plate trying to hit a home run. I said, ‘Sure, every time.’
340
I say what I think, and if somebody attacks me unfairly, I definitely tell them.
341
342
343
A really irritating thing when you’re watching a film is if somebody’s accent isn’t bang-on – it distracts you from getting into the story because you’re thinking: ‘Where are they from?’
344
There’s no such thing as a perfect guy. I think it would be strange if somebody was absolutely everything you always wanted, because then there’d be no challenge. Also, you’d feel inferior.
345
346
347
I am not trying to change the world. I am just offering my gift that God gave me, and if somebody is moved by it, that’s beautiful.
348
We’ve reached a point where people are actually afraid to talk about what they want to say, because somebody might be offended. We’ve got to get over this sensitivity and it keeps people from saying what they really believe.
349
350
Comparison is a thug that robs your joy. But it’s even more than that – Comparison makes you a thug who beats down somebody – or your soul.
351
I’m prepared to try to talk to a very beautiful girl. I learned a fantastic secret, which is that the most beautiful woman in the room is not being spoken to because she’s too intimidating. They’re not looking for somebody beautiful; they’re looking for somebody to amuse them.
352
When you invest your time, you make a goal and a decision of something that you want to accomplish. Whether it’s make good grades in school, be a good athlete, be a good person, go down and do some community service and help somebody who’s in need, whatever it is you choose to do, you’re investing your time in that.
353
The only reason to be with somebody is that they make you a better person and you make them a better person.
354
Somebody once asked me what my theory of life was, and I said, ‘Don’t try.’ That fits the writing, too. I don’t try; I just type.
355
I think Clinton, after getting into office and into Washington, was shocked at being bludgeoned. So he spent time trying to be all things to all people – one way guaranteed not to be successful or respected in a lion’s den. You can’t just play around with all those big cats – you’ve got to take somebody on.
356
I told somebody once, ‘You don’t want the Herschel that plays football… babysitting your child. When I am competing, I am a totally different person.’
357
It’s obviously flattering when somebody likes something one is doing. But at the same time, I get embarrassed about it. It’s the ‘I’m not worthy syndrome.’
358
Somebody with a billion followers can tweet, ‘See my movie,’ and it can still tank. Followers don’t always translate into success because I think people are too savvy. When something takes off, it’s because people are connecting to it – not because someone with a lot of followers says to care about it.
359
I look at Puff Daddy as somebody that gave me a chance to prove the whole world wrong. Cause when I used to think about rap, everybody would say, ‘Well, you talk too slow,’ or, ‘You rap too slow,’ when in reality, that was my uniqueness.
360
The main three components are the blues, improvisation – which is some kind of element that people are trying to make it up – and swing, which means even though they’re making up music, they’re trying to make it up together. It feels great, like you’re having a great conversation with somebody.
361
You can teach somebody how to be a brain surgeon, but you cannot teach them how to walk on a stage and make people laugh.
362
I’ve got my own businesses I run every day and I like to think I’m a nurturer rather than a firer, but the reality is, if somebody continues not to succeed and do the right thing for the business they lose the job because they are affecting the livelihoods of others.
363
364
365
One thing that somebody told me is that leadership is a lonely role – some people can do it, and some people can’t.
366
367
Any artist, the work you do, if it’s a painting or if it’s a performance, you hope it translates to a common denominator with the people that they see something in their own life in there. Or they see something in somebody else’s life. That’s what’s fun about sharing art.
368
Things don’t turn up in this world until somebody turns them up.
369
370
371
372
When you say that you are a race man, it means that you embrace the entire black community regardless of the hue, whether somebody is very light and could pass for possibly white or someone is very dark.
373
374
375
It’s easy to work for somebody else; all you have to do is show up.
376
I wasn’t really too hyped on religion. I don’t really believe in a religion like that. I just believe that there is a God. There’s just somebody up there that listens to me, and they can show me better if I talk to them and build a relationship with them.
377
One reason you should not use web applications to do your computing is that you lose control. It’s just as bad as using a proprietary program. Do your own computing on your own computer with your copy of a freedom-respecting program. If you use a proprietary program or somebody else’s web server, you’re defenceless.
378
379
380
There is so much vulgarity in the everyday, that when somebody has the pretension to do something extraordinary for the community, then you have to suffer.
381
I will not have my life narrowed down. I will not bow down to somebody else’s whim or to someone else’s ignorance.
382
I find television very educating. Every time somebody turns on the set, I go into the other room and read a book.
383
384
With DNA, you have to be able to tell which genes are turned on or off. Current DNA sequencing cannot do that. The next generation of DNA sequencing needs to be able to do this. If somebody invents this, then we can start to very precisely identify cures for diseases.
385
At the end of the day, somebody someday is going to say something about you. At least you can look back and say you lived the way you wanted to.
386
387
388
389
390
391
Don’t be afraid of missing opportunities. Behind every failure is an opportunity somebody wishes they had missed.
392
I feel like somebody who just is very understanding is my biggest thing – timing is a major issue for me – but also funny! Obviously I want someone really cute and fun and fresh for good Instagram pictures and that just makes me really happy.
393
We all have fundamental beliefs of one sort or another, and it is very threatening if somebody is saying they’re wrong.
394
Are you going to back down to somebody? If not, you’re giving yourself a chance.
395
I always wanted to be somebody, but now I realize I should have been more specific.
396
I was the kind of Jew who’d be in a bar, somebody would say it’s Yom Kippur, and I’d go, ‘Really?’
397
I’m not a trend person. I don’t want to look to my right and see somebody in the same thing.
398
399
400
Trust your gut. You know yourself, so don’t let somebody else tell you who you are.
401
402
403
Somebody said the key to life is to work hard, play hard, rest hard, and I’ve pretty much adopted that.
404
Oh, I don’t think Tom Sowell would tell anybody to join the administration. That’s not his style. But I think his attitude has always been if it had to be done he’d prefer me to do it than somebody else.
405
If somebody has a bad reputation on the internet or if they have a really good reputation on the internet, I don’t care. I want to meet said person and make up my mind for myself, and then go from there.
406
When I hear somebody say ‘Life is hard’, I am always tempted to ask ‘Compared to what?’
407
It’s better to use a curse word than to hurt somebody else, I find.
408
409
410
If I were running to be somebody, there are a lot of easier sombodies to be. After all, running against the incumbent governor of your own party in your home state is not the next logical step in a political life.
411
412
Every single thing you see on-screen came out of somebody’s creativity. It doesn’t exist. Nature didn’t deliver it to us. Everything had to be dreamed.
413
414
415
416
417
There’s only so much you can do, but if somebody doesn’t give you a chance there is nothing you can do.
418
There’s great power in deference. You ask somebody ‘what’ or ‘how’ questions. People love to be asked how to do something. They feel powerful, and from a deferential position, you’ve actually granted that power, and you’re the one that now actually has the upper hand in the conversation.
419
I just don’t think it’s very dignified to ask people to like you. You can just wind up being somebody’s ottoman.
420
Life is short, and, once somebody is gone, they’re gone.
421
It’s always nice to have somebody on your side.
422
423
424
God didn’t give up on me. I am somebody in God’s eyes… Let me be a prime example of how I’ve been through the storm and the rain, and I made it over.
425
426
You can tell on-stage when a joke’s starting to lose its pop. It doesn’t mean people don’t want to hear it anymore; it means I don’t want to do it anymore. Because I want to move on to something that has a knee-jerk reaction just like you get when you tell somebody a joke that they’ve never heard.
427
428
It’s funny, sometimes life just comes down to bringing a little bit of light to somebody when you can.
429
I don’t think you ever stop giving. I really don’t. I think it’s an on-going process. And it’s not just about being able to write a check. It’s being able to touch somebody’s life.
430
431
432
We use a term called ‘empowerment through empathy.’ And ‘Me Too’ is so powerful, because somebody had said it to me – right? – and it changed the trajectory of my healing process once I heard that.
433
One morning, about four o’clock, I was driving my car just about as fast as I could. I thought, Why am I out this time of night? I was miserable, and it came to me: I’m falling in love with somebody I have no right to fall in love with.
434
I’m not the best person at putting words together. I can’t give you the melody. But I might inspire somebody.
435
You don’t have to use aggression to squash somebody. You have to use your brain.
436
Don’t believe everything you read in the press. If somebody starts with me, I try to mess them up, but I don’t look for trouble.
437
438
Even the finest actors will have great difficulty showing somebody’s loneliness. To put an actor on a chair and ask him to do nothing and yet tell the viewer everything about the character, it’s a difficult task.
439
I think of myself as somebody who, in a moment-to-moment way, I’m quite happy. But I think I am a bit doubtful and wary of true happiness, and, like a lot of my friends, there’s been a good degree of self-sabotage.
440
What nicer thing can you do for somebody than make them breakfast?
441
If you find it in your heart to care for somebody else, you will have succeeded.
442
I think marrying somebody who’s not a celebrity, it just takes a lot of the pressure off.
443
444
445
These things bring you to reality as to how fragile you are; at the same moment you are doing something that nobody else is able to do. The same moment that you are seen as the best, the fastest and somebody that cannot be touched, you are enormously fragile.
446
I knew I was going to be somebody.
447
My best background is, like, smash opponents. I all the time go forward. I all the time try to take down somebody. Make him give up. This is my style, you know. This is what I do all my life.
448
449
I saw Kuwait many times before the war. I remember it as a beautiful place, full of very nice people, and it’s a tragedy to see that somebody could set out to deliberately destroy a country the way the Iraqis have.
450
It’s a delight to trust somebody so completely.
451
I get criticized for being me. I’m enjoying life, and people see it as me not being serious. Not taking the game seriously. You shouldn’t hate somebody for being themselves, for enjoying themselves.
452
453
If your happiness depends on what somebody else does, I guess you do have a problem.
454
I’m an activist. I’m a proud activist. So I want to be someone who is pro-black and pro-Africa and still be somebody that has positive influence.
455
456
457
458
But I think it’s intoxicating when somebody is so unapologetically who they are.
459
460
I was so young when the Killers started. I was 21. I’m proud of those songs, but there’s no way I would write ‘Somebody Told Me,’ as I get older. Especially after having kids.
461
Sometimes, when democracy has to fight with autocracy, what can be done? We have to fight; somebody has to.
462
There may be another life, and if there is, the best way to prepare for it is by making somebody happy in this.
463
So I’ve seen life as one long learning process. And if I see – you know, if I fly on somebody else’s airline and find the experience is not a pleasant one, which it wasn’t in – 21 years ago, then I’d think, well, you know, maybe I can create the kind of airline that I’d like to fly on.
464
When I record somebody else’s song, I have to make it my own or it doesn’t feel right. I’ll say to myself, I wrote this and he doesn’t know it!
465
Nobody likes being broke. As somebody who’s had to live out of a 1982 Datsun, trust me. I know. I also understand that the first step to improve your situation is to fix the problem that landed you there in the first place.
466
I advise everybody not to save: spend your money. Most people save all their lives and leave it to somebody else. Money is to be enjoyed.
467
No matter who you are, you’re gonna feel alienated by somebody.
468
The thing that makes my generation The Greatest is our ability to hang out. We’re spectacular at it. If you take somebody from my generation and sit them on a couch and bring them food and plumbing, they’ll sit there and talk to you about anything you want until the day you die.
469
A writer is somebody for whom writing is more difficult than it is for other people.
470
471
Any image I have, it’s just what I do, but it comes off as being very pretentious. When you’re a bit in the public astigmatism, anything you do seems like you did it so somebody would see you do it, like showing up at the right parties.
472
The thing with food is that you can give 20 people the same recipe and the same ingredients, and somebody’s going to make it better than somebody else, and that’s the creativity of it. It’s like music. You could have a bunch of people playing the same piece, and somebody’s gonna play it better.
473
You can’t be satirical and not be offensive to somebody.
474
475
Everyone has people in their lives that are gay, lesbian or transgender or bisexual. They may not want to admit it, but I guarantee they know somebody.
476
If a star or studio chief or any other great movie personages find themselves sitting among a lot of nobodies, they get frightened – as if somebody was trying to demote them.
477
You hit somebody with your fist and not with your fingers spread.
478
Just as I wouldn’t expect a gynecologist to have a debate with somebody who believes in the Stork-theory of reproduction, I won’t do debates with Young Earth creationists.
479
You know, somebody actually complimented me on my driving today. They left a little note on the windscreen, it said ‘Parking Fine.’
480
I have a sweet tooth. I love dessert, and if somebody makes me one, I’m going to have it.
481
Sometimes I just need somebody to tell me a bunch of ideas I don’t like, so that I can figure out what it is I actually want.
482
483
484
485
486
I think comedy is a good way to help people change their minds. I think that if you’re laughing and getting a message across, it’s a lot easier than when somebody is screaming in your face.
487
Everybody’s out to get something from somebody. ‘Gold diggers’ doesn’t just mean money, it can mean time, it can mean feelings. It can mean anything when you’re taking and not giving. When people don’t know how to reciprocate.
488
We relish news of our heroes, forgetting that we are extraordinary to somebody too.
489
490
If you don’t care about somebody, you don’t even bother to fight with them.
491
492
493
I feel like if you’re in a bad situation, and then you see somebody that’s even in a worse situation, you feel for that person.
494
495
One false word, one extra word, and somebody’s thinking about how they have to buy paper towels at the store. Brevity is very important. If you’re going to be longwinded, it should be for a purpose. Not just because you like your words.
496
497
498
I love to play games. Anything that is competitive. I love to play darts, shoot pool, any video game or board game, anything like that I am all about. For me is more about spending time with somebody, hanging out and enjoying yourself.
499
Show me a person who has never made a mistake and I’ll show you somebody who has never achieved much.
500
The term ‘perjury trap‘ means interviewing someone for no underlying crime and no other purpose except with the hope that the person forgets something, or another witness remembers things differently. Either way, somebody gets charged with perjury.
501
502
503
504
505
We all need somebody to talk to. It would be good if we talked… not just pitter-patter, but real talk. We shouldn’t be so afraid, because most people really like this contact; that you show you are vulnerable makes them free to be vulnerable.
506
507
My parents are always a great litmus test. Based on the amount of shrieks my mother gives when we’re out in public, her constant shock when somebody comes up and says something nice.
508
Respect goes a long way when you carry yourself a certain way and show manners when you first meet someone. If you do that, then it’s hard for somebody not to like you.
509
If you look at the developments in the international scene over the past many years, we haven’t been able to resolve many problems and many crises, because we have approached them from a zero-sum perspective. My gain has always been defined as somebody else’s loss, and through that, we never resolve problems.
510
Cold calling is about developing social skills and getting used to rejection. We are constantly selling something to somebody.
511
512
Somebody has to stand when other people are sitting. Somebody has to speak when other people are quiet.
513
I love people who have goals. Somebody who’s passionate about life and does their own thing.
514
Like people coming up to me like, ‘Nobody ever told you that you look like Lil Baby?’ But I’ll be like, nah. Or like, somebody told me that. I’ll never just say, it’s me.
515
516
When somebody says something stupid to me, I usually alleviate it with laughter and humour. I make light of it to educate people on why it’s inappropriate.
517
518
Somebody like a Piggy or a Kermit, there needs to be several versions and so there will be several of them.
519
Somebody like Bowie was so interesting because when you got him off stage, he was like a businessman. But on stage, he was just dazzling. It was like watching butterflies grow.
520
When I got religion, I found some work to do to benefit somebody.
521
522
A man can fail many times, but he isn’t a failure until he begins to blame somebody else.
523
Anytime in radio that you can reach somebody on an emotional level, you’re really connecting.
524
525
526
I try to approach reading in front of millions of people as I would reading in somebody’s living room.
527
Doo-wop is the true music to me, man. Doo-wop was what nurtured me and grew me into who I am, and I guess even when I was in school, the teacher probably thought I had ADD or something every day, because I’d be beating on the desks, singing like the Flamingos or the Spaniels or Clyde McPhatter or somebody.
528
529
You make due with the time you have here. Hopefully when you pass on, somebody can look back and say, ‘Wow, they made a difference in some kind of way.’
530
I believe marriage is between a man and a woman. I am not in favor of gay marriage. But when you start playing around with constitutions, just to prohibit somebody who cares about another person, it just seems to me that’s not what America’s about. Usually, our constitutions expand liberties, they don’t contract them.
531
532
Everybody is responsible for their own actions. It’s easy to point the finger at somebody else, but a real man, a real woman, a real person knows when it’s time to take the blame and when to take responsibility for their own actions.
533
I don’t want flowers or candy or anything like that. I just want somebody to say, ‘Wow, you’ve done a great job.’
534
When I found out that there was eight Presidents before George Washington, I wanted to smack somebody.
535
You can always tell about somebody by the way they put their hands on an animal.
536
There is nobody so irritating as somebody with less intelligence and more sense than we have.
537
If you are ever on stage, and it feels as though the audience is not laughing at the right points or are not quite as engaged as you’d hope, you have to remember there is always somebody who might be falling in love with this world and having an epiphany. I was that person.
538
Somebody hits me, I’m going to hit him back. Even if it does look like he hasn’t eaten in a while.
539
540
We judge on the basis of what somebody looks like, skin color, whether we think they’re beautiful or not. That space on the Internet allows you to converse with somebody with none of those things involved.
541
Hold those things that tell your history and protect them. During slavery, who was able to read or write or keep anything? The ability to have somebody to tell your story to is so important. It says: ‘I was here. I may be sold tomorrow. But you know I was here.’
542
Slang is really coded talk. I can say a few things, in front of somebody, that only people who know what I’m saying are going to pick up on.
543
544
Whenever somebody comes up with a good idea, there’s somebody else who has never had a good idea in his life who stands up and says, Oh, you can’t do that.
545
546
When I hear somebody sigh, ‘Life is hard,’ I am always tempted to ask, ‘Compared to what?’
547
548
When somebody is making a movie about your life, that’s different. A show is a live performance. Things are going to go wrong. You are going to get away with things. A movie is indelible. A movie is through a microscope.
549
There’s something about somebody’s first screenplay: it’s like their whole life experience has kind of been bottled into it. They bring so much richness to it. And not that they won’t do that for their next script, but there is something about their first experience and the time that it’s been floating in their head.
550
551
Every time I am looking into the depths of somebody’s brain, I’m thinking, ‘This is what makes a person who they are. That structure contains memories. Everything that they’ve ever experienced is right in there.’
552
The terrorists that we are up against today do not rely upon cell phones and SAT phones and emails. They rely on couriers. You cannot intercept what a courier is telling somebody.
553
I don’t want to be somebody else.
554
555
Somebody’s gotta win and somebody’s gotta lose and I believe in letting the other guy lose.
556
News is what somebody somewhere wants to suppress; all the rest is advertising.
557
I always love somebody who makes me laugh, who’s fun to be with.
558
If somebody asks for my opinion, I tell them my opinion, whether it’s what they want to hear or not.
559
Film music should have the same relationship to the film drama that somebody’s piano playing in my living room has on the book I am reading.
560
561
If you’re playing somebody who is not you, then you can imagine that you are that person. You can feel like he feels, move like he moves, look like he looks – in your own mind.
562
563
The worst thing to call somebody is crazy. It’s dismissive.
564
565
I think what makes a good actor‘s director is somebody who understands what I’m doing and is respectful of it, but who also has a vision and is directing me toward their vision in a way that feels productive.
566
As somebody who happens to be gay, I particularly resent that minorities are being encouraged to be fragile and bitter.

I still have my first paycheck. It was just, I think, a dollar or two that I got when I started as a songwriter with BMI, and I had some songs there that I had through the company, and in the mail I got this big old check for, like, a dollar and a half or something. Somebody had recorded one of my songs.
568
Anytime somebody shares a personal story with me during autograph signings and someone comes up to me and shakes my hand and says thank you and I’m just like, wow. The fact that I can have an influence over somebody; it is heartwarming, it is the goal.
569
570
I tell the kids, somebody’s gotta win, somebody’s gotta lose. Just don’t fight about it. Just try to get better.
571
Never say ‘no’ to pie. No matter what, wherever you are, diet-wise or whatever, you know what? You can always have a small piece of pie, and I like pie. I don’t know anybody who doesn’t like pie. If somebody doesn’t like pie, I don’t trust them. I’ll bet you Vladimir Putin doesn’t like pie.
572
573
In some way, people believe that if you are permeable, if you are a good listener, you don’t have the quality of somebody with a firm attitude. This is what, fundamentally, I got from my mother.
574
Something is worth what somebody will pay for it. Nothing else, nothing more, nothing less.
575
I really like how the characters always has to go through some type of long journey that’s like a crazy struggle. And these anime shows give women power. She’s always the queen or somebody that you cannot beat – I love that.
576
To think that the new economy is over is like somebody in London in 1830 saying the entire industrial revolution is over because some textile manufacturers in Manchester went broke.
577
My father told me once not to expect anything from anybody so I wouldn’t be disappointed. If somebody was nice and did nice things for me, I should be overjoyed, but I shouldn’t go through life expecting it, which is very good advice.
578
With Ronald Reagan in the White House, somebody had to look out for those who were not so fortunate. That’s where I came in.
579
580
581
582
I’ve dealt with a lot of people with bad intentions. Just because somebody has a following does not mean that they are a good person or a good friend.
583
You hear about quality time a lot but I really think that quantity time with a person is really what strengthens a relationship. That’s when you really get to know somebody. You get to know their strengths and their weaknesses and that brings you closer. That’s what ‘Time Is Love’ is all about.
584
I think America right now is looking for somebody who appeals to every faction.
585
586
None of us got where we are solely by pulling ourselves up by our bootstraps. We got here because somebody – a parent, a teacher, an Ivy League crony or a few nuns – bent down and helped us pick up our boots.
587
When somebody takes a child from their native culture, that is in itself an act of aggression.
588
589
Information helps you to see that you’re not alone. That there’s somebody in Mississippi and somebody in Tokyo who all have wept, who’ve all longed and lost, who’ve all been happy. So the library helps you to see, not only that you are not alone, but that you’re not really any different from everyone else.
590
Any committee is only as good as the most knowledgeable, determined and vigorous person on it. There must be somebody who provides the flame.
591
I’ve been compared to a lot of redheads. Here’s the thing though: you can look nothing like somebody, but if you both have red hair, all of a sudden people think you look exactly the same.
592
I’m somebody who can laugh even at myself. That happens now and again, when I’ve made a mess of really simple things.
593
594
Sometimes it’s a form of love just to talk to somebody that you have nothing in common with and still be fascinated by their presence.
595
596
597
You’re not going to scare me into being somebody I don’t want to be.
598
A film is made in somebody’s head – out of their determination to do it at all.
599
If you try to please everybody, somebody’s not going to like it.
600
601
Michael Jordan changed so much in basketball, he took his power to make a difference. It’s so much going on in music right now and somebody has to make a difference.
602
603
In my real life, I’m a Black Lives Matter social justice activist, and so it was incredibly interesting to me to play somebody coming from the totally opposite side, whose beliefs are as deeply entrenched – as deeply felt, and given as much gravity, as I give my beliefs.
604
I didn’t have to be somebody I wasn’t coming into the league. I had a great foundation from my family.
605
Nothing pleases me more than when somebody who was awe-inspired to be working with me realizes I’m just another schmuck that they’re bored of hanging out with on a set. I love that moment. I like it when that persistent illusion is smashed.
606
When I show up to act in a movie for somebody else, I just want to be nice and helpful and do what they want because I know how difficult it is to make a movie. I don’t want to cause any problems. So you show up and do your job, and I think if a director understands that, you don’t make a lot of demands.
607
A lot of beefs in the music industry are caused from miscommunication and just not really understanding what’s going on, having people in your ear saying this is what somebody did, or this is what somebody did to you.
608
609
610
611
One thing I think celebrities shy away from is exposing the reality that we’re all the same. Somebody’s not more important because they have a Bentley or a big house or a famous boyfriend or plastic surgery – we’re all the same.
612
If you don’t know your own value, somebody will tell you your value, and it’ll be less than you’re worth.
613
I’m just an individual who doesn’t feel that I need to have somebody qualify my work in any particular way. I’m working for me.
614
There’s such a thing as good stress and bad stress. Bad stress is when somebody else stresses you out, and good stress is when you stress yourself out over something you want to accomplish, which makes you want to perfect it.
615
If you only knock long enough and loud enough at the gate, you are sure to wake up somebody.
616
If you hear somebody say something absolutely horrendous about their own life, in quite a flippant, offbeat kind of way, when you meet people clearly trying to be strong and brave, the ones who are really good at it are the ones who break my heart the most.
617
618
619
I understand now that the vulnerability I’ve always felt is the greatest strength a person can have. You can’t experience life without feeling life. What I’ve learned is that being vulnerable to somebody you love is not a weakness, it’s a strength.
620
621
In Afghanistan, you don’t understand yourself solely as an individual. You understand yourself as a son, a brother, a cousin to somebody, an uncle to somebody. You are part of something bigger than yourself.
622
623
I just talk just to talk. I like to see what other people think. There’s some things somebody tweets me every day where I’m like, ‘Wow, I never thought of this issue that way.’ It starts great conversation with people who I would never get a chance to actually communicate with.
624
It was a big deal to me to play characters and feel things and connect to somebody in a fake world.
625
Every known fact in natural science was divined by the presentiment of somebody, before it was actually verified.
626
When you’re a chill, laid back guy, you maybe have more pent-up frustration, anger, bitterness, than maybe somebody a little wilder would have.
627
I preach there are all kinds of truth, your truth and somebody else’s. But behind all of them there is only one truth and that is that there’s no truth.
628
The way I write my shows, every character is its own organic thing. No character has a life at all until I see it played by somebody.
629
The brain sure as hell doesn’t work by somebody programming in rules.
630
Look at the evidence and to be willing to question your own truths, and to be willing to scrutinize things that you hold dearly because that way, that transparency, that self-awareness, will protect you from ever becoming somebody that whose beliefs somehow make them have myopic vision about what could be.
631
Play fair. Don’t hit people. Say you’re sorry when you hurt somebody.
632
The best way to cheer yourself up is to try to cheer somebody else up.
633
I go to conventions all the time. I’m not one of those actors who’s public-shy, meaning I don’t mind when someone comes up. It doesn’t happen often in the real world because people don’t recognize me because I was in makeup, but when it does, I don’t usually mind it at all if somebody says something.
634
635
We must have zero tolerance for sexual harassment, even if the perpetrator is somebody we like and admire.
636
Diplomacy, n. is the art of letting somebody else have your way.
637
Coming up in this country, I’ve seen it so many times. When you see somebody rising you want to tear them down because you feel inadequate and you want to call it humble.
638
639
You just never know when somebody’s gonna die. It could happen at any moment so you’ve got to really treat everybody that way. Just really let everybody know how you feel about them.
640
641
I like simplicity. I like using natural sources. I like images to look natural – as though somebody sitting in a room by a lamp is being lit by that lamp.
642
643
The luckiest person in the world is somebody who is born into a small, shabby-genteel town on a major railway connection with 24,000 souls and a bird sanctuary and whose grandfather owns a farm and whose father owns a business -whose family is mildly prosperous but not rich, which means you can leave the town.
644
I yam who I yam; I’m not somebody, like, standard.
645
I’m always frustrated when somebody makes a movie out of a book and they leave the book behind, or the heart of it.
646
647
Everybody’s looking for love, and you want to love somebody and be loved in return.
648
I never want to be like somebody but be my own person, but follow along those lines like a Matt Millen, Michael Strahan. There’s so many players that have transitioned to being an anchor or a broadcaster, and it kind of just goes hand-in-hand.
649
What I’ve learned, traveling the country and doing book signings, Mama‘s biscuits – you know, somebody in Montana‘s got their version of Mama’s biscuits, somebody in California‘s got their version – so it made me realize that we’re not as regionalized as we think we are.
650
651
If somebody on this team actually gets to first base, I’ll stand there naked.
652
653
654
I don’t go by or change my attitude based on what people say. At the end of the day, they, too, are judging me from their perspective. I would rather be myself and let people accept me for what I am than be somebody who I am not, just because I want people’s approval.
655
We live in capitalism, and capitalism is defined by the production line, and the production line is defined by specificity. If you see yourself as an artist, which I do, then you can’t be limited by that. You can’t let somebody tell you, ‘Well, you can only draw this kind of picture or write that kind of book.’
656
Everybody is going to have a bad game. One game does not decide somebody’s season.
657
658
Philosophy is a performance sport – you have to play it with somebody back and forth.
659
You have to love your country like an adult loves somebody, not like a child loves its mommy. And right-wing Republicans tend to love America like a child loves its mommy, where everything Mommy does is okay. But adult love means you’re not in denial, and you want the loved one to be the best they can be.
660
661
I’m sure there’s somebody out there who doesn’t like Betty White because she’s short and has white hair.
662
Give what you have to somebody, it may be better than you think.
663
When you’re in shape, you don’t have to walk up to somebody and say, ‘Yo, I love myself.’ You look like you care for yourself.
664
Listen, here’s the thing about an English degree – if you sat somebody down and asked them to make a list of the writers they admire over the last hundred years, see how many of them got a degree in English.
665
If you laugh with somebody, then you know you share something.
666
A lot of times, somebody will say something and it will give you a good title. So you carry a pencil with you and jot that down. You don’t just write a song right quick, though. You fool around and work with it. You have to keep going over and over it and see if you can’t write a song that means something.
667
If somebody asks me whether I’d rather sink the winning putt in the Ryder Cup or win a major, it’s the major every day. World championship or Ryder Cup? Win a world championship. At the end of the day you’re going to be remembered for what you achieve in an individual sport.
668
If a poet is anybody, he is somebody to whom things made matter very little – somebody who is obsessed by Making.
669
670
It’s funny – if you impersonate somebody, they have no idea it’s them.
671
I can’t always control my body the way I want to, and I can’t control when I feel good or when I don’t. I can control how clear my mind is. And I can control how willing I am to step up if somebody needs me.
672
I’d probably say I’m very strong. If somebody says something horrible, I’m like, ‘Okay, whatever.’
673
Oh, I love to lie. That’s one of my favorite things in the world, coming up to somebody, especially press people, and telling them some enormous lie that couldn’t possibly be true.
674
675
You can draw inspiration from anything. If you’re a good storyteller, you can take a dirty look somebody gives you, or if a guy you used to have flirtations with starts dating a new girl, or somebody you’re casually talking to says something that makes you so mad – you can create an entire scenario around that.
676
You can’t betray yourself too often, or you become somebody else.
677
You show me anybody that’s great in anything they do, I’ll show you somebody that’s persevered, demonstrated that mental toughness to overcome some obstacles and adversity.
678
If somebody postulates the existence of more than one god, I would have to say we don’t worship the same god. If somebody says that God is basically one with the world, I would also have to say we don’t worship the same god.
679
680
681
682
683
684
You need somebody just to say, ‘Hey, I’m here for you. Do you need anything?’ If you can get somebody like that, you can make it, no question about it. You can make it.
685
One of the greatest gifts we have is our own mistakes and somebody singing about them.
686
687
If you’re my woman, you’re somebody I give emotions to that I don’t give to nobody else. You’re my safe space. I don’t want my safe space to be compromised.
688
I may have hurt some people along the way, but I would like to be seen as somebody who has done his best to do the right thing for any situation and not compromised.
689
I am a reserved guy and need somebody to pep me up every day, Upsi does that job perfectly. She is very vivacious and outspoken, so we blend very well. We both love travelling, and we have a thing for adventure. We love being outdoors and like to ride our own boat rather than being rowed by someone else.
690
691
I just showed up at the Comedy Store. You keep showing up, and you keep showing up, and eventually, somebody notices.
692
Rap is just somebody getting something off his chest. That’s all it is.
693
I love watching the Serengeti, the way lions live. The only way the king lion loses his crown is by somebody physically defeating him.
694
You can’t take it on that you’re responsible for somebody else’s well-being, but you can be positive and bring them up.
695
My goal is just to inspire. To tell people that’s going through the same thing that I went through, that there’s somebody out there that knows… that can relate.
696
About the time we can make the ends meet, somebody moves the ends.
697
You’ve got to love yourself first. You’ve got to be okay on your own before you can be okay with somebody else.
698
699
There’s almost nothing that upsets Americans more than the idea that somewhere, somehow, somebody is getting his feelings hurt.
700
I think everybody longs to be loved and longs to know that he or she is lovable. And, consequently, the greatest thing that we can do is to help somebody know that they’re loved and capable of loving.
701
I pretended to be somebody I wanted to be until finally I became that person. Or he became me.
702
The underlying message of the Neighborhood is that if somebody cares about you, it’s possible that you’ll care about others. ‘You are special, and so is your neighbor’ – that part is essential: that you’re not the only special person in the world. The person you happen to be with at the moment is loved, too.
703
What annoys people is the idea that somebody has everything, and they’re allowed to get away with anything. It’s the sense of entitlement that gets up people’s noses.
704
705
Everybody always going to sound like somebody. You got to separate yourself.
706
If you’re not comfortable with public speaking – and nobody starts out comfortable; you have to learn how to be comfortable – practice. I cannot overstate the importance of practicing. Get some close friends or family members to help evaluate you, or somebody at work that you trust.
707
The heart and soul of a Navy SEAL is somebody who’s committed to their country and committed to their teammates.
708
As somebody who makes his living in the movie business and wants to contribute to it, I think that the best chance I have of doing that is just consistently working with great directors.
709
Make yourself necessary to somebody.
710
The most important things to do in the world are to get something to eat, something to drink and somebody to love you.
711
I’ve always felt that if something is polarizing, that’s usually the stuff I like the most. If something is taking a chance and is willing to be weird, that’s my favorite thing. I know there’s somebody out there who hates it.
712
For everyone of us that succeeds, it’s because there’s somebody there to show you the way out.
713
It’s so interesting how you can take a bad situation and make a great song out of it that somebody else can listen to and have a completely different perspective of the song and have their own meaning. That’s what’s great about it.
714
One of the strategies for doing first-person is to make the narrator very knowing, so that the reader is with somebody who has a take on everything they observe.
715
716
717
I do like to have guns around. I don’t like to carry them. But I like – if somebody is going to come into my house and I have not put out the welcome mat, I want to stop them.
718
719
720
721
Everyone should have equal opportunities and equal rights, but you can’t even have an opinion without somebody going off on you. That’s what’s wrong with this world today.
722
723
I really haven’t had that exciting of a life. There are a lot of things I wish I would have done, instead of just sitting around and complaining about having a boring life. So I pretty much like to make it up. I’d rather tell a story about somebody else.
724
725
I analyse in my own way, in very simple, no-jargon language. If somebody is talking in very complicated way, I never like that.
726
The minute you start compromising for the sake of massaging somebody’s ego, that’s it, game over.
727
The thing to do, it seems to me, is to prepare yourself so you can be a rainbow in somebody else’s cloud. Somebody who may not look like you. May not call God the same name you call God – if they call God at all. I may not dance your dances or speak your language. But be a blessing to somebody. That’s what I think.
