Getting Going Quotes (page 28)

I think for anybody reading the book they're going to get an idea in their heads of all those characters, and I think that once that gets fixed, it's quite hard to shake. Hugh Dancy
Comedians work great as actors because they're good under pressure. With a lot of actors, you have to make them feel like everything's going really well to get a good performance out of them. But, if you have a comedian on the set, you can tell them, 'Hey, you really are screwing this up,' and then they just get better. Louis C. K.
As soon as people see my face on a movie screen, they knew two things: first, I'm not going to get the girl, and second, I'll get a cheap funeral before the picture is over. Lee Marvin
I get very nervous whenever I think about it. I've never done a serious play, and I have such awe of the woman - she's really my only idol. It's going to be a big stretch - certain people come out on stage and your face muscles automatically tense and you get ready to smile. Judy Holliday
I get a lot of kids distracted. Sometimes they got to go cover left field, but they're over here talking to me, getting an autograph. Pedro Martinez
It seems to me that one thing people do over and over again is try to figure out how to get married, stay married, fall in love, how to rekindle all this stuff. It seems to me to be a pretty eternal theme so I don't know if you can get typecast from making movies about men relating to women. It seems to be what is going on on the planet a lot. John Cusack
Death is a billion-dollar business. They can't even pass a law where it takes seven days to get a gun. Why don't you have to go through the same kind of screening you do to get a driver's license? It's totally insane. John Cusack
We have to get very militant with some of these employers to say there's no shortcuts, our people have a right to a fair day's wage for a fair day's pay, and we've got to get that done. And that's going to happen. James P. Hoffa
Candy Crowley quote: "I still get mad. I still get upset. But I let it go more quickly."
I still get mad. I still get upset. But I let it go more quickly. Candy Crowley
There's always been a religious strain in me. I can't get rid of it. I don't want to get rid of it. I'm not involved in a church, but I understand that impulse to believe in something that's never going to betray you. Ruth Wilson
Rita Wilson quote: "Performing live actually thrills me. Just get me a stage, get..."
Performing live actually thrills me. Just get me a stage, get me a mic, and I'm going to be happy. Rita Wilson
The unions and the auto companies have been unable to put a deal together that fundamentally restructures the industry. It needs to get done. The only way it's really going to get done is in bankruptcy court. They should have done it six months ago they should do it now. Tim Pawlenty
Richard Virenque quote: "The more the years go by, the more difficult it gets. I'm..."
The more the years go by, the more difficult it gets. I'm getting old. Richard Virenque
Ted Williams quote: "There's only one way to become a hitter. Go up to the plate..."
There's only one way to become a hitter. Go up to the plate and get mad. Get mad at yourself and mad at the pitcher. Ted Williams
Praise and criticism seem to me to operate exactly on the same level. If you get a great review, it's really thrilling for about ten minutes. If you get a bad review, it's really crushing for ten minutes. Either way, you go on. Ann Patchett
