When I look at the list of my favorite works, writers who are women do tend to outnumber writers who are men for whatever reason.
Those who are outraged will vote.
Dick Gregory was a great comedian who went and got arrested, did hunger strikes, protests. It never hurt his career to be outspoken.
There isn't a single human being who hasn't plenty to cry over, and the trick is to make the laughs outweigh the tears.
I like to be one of those drummers who actually add to the music, not one of those guys who sit in a room 24/7 trying to outwit or outplay another drummer.
Avoid problems, and you'll never be the one who overcame them.
I guess I have kind of a type. Pretty much anybody who shows up in a black leather overcoat, I've doubled for them.
He who overcomes himself is divine. Most see their ruin before their eyes; but they go on into it.
There is something to be said about a guy who is attractive and doesn't know it. I hate men who are overconfident.
I would overhear these conversations of people who show purebred dogs. They spoke about them as if they were their children.
The characters in my stories all have quite loud lives in my head. It's a relief to get them on the page. Often they come from people I've noticed or overheard - but that is only a part of them. It's only by writing that I discover who these people really are.
There are so many people, deaf or otherwise abled, who are so talented but overlooked or not given a chance to even get their foot in the door.
I've been playing music for over 20 years now. I started playing when I was 14 years old. To everyone who has said I was an overnight success... where have you been the last 20 years?
I've had a year out of work, more, and just toughed it out. There are those who think that all actors are overpaid. I beg to differ.
Vanity's really overrated. When I was 20, teenage girls had my picture on the wall... I don't need to be pretty anymore. I just am who I am.
What happens when the guy who runs the reactor gets out of bed wrong or decides, for some reason, that he wants to override his instruction sheet some afternoon?
In animation, the directors are part of a huge team of animators who all have opinions, too. It's a much more democratic process. Also, the animation executives oversee things more.
And, in fact, there is a connection, the people who designed this here program and who implement it are the same people who are overseeing and helping in the interrogations of detainees in places like Guantanamo.
KERS definitely helps on a straight when you want to overtake somebody who doesn't have the system.
I was a slightly overweight, spiky-fringed, rat's-tailed '80s girl who was just showing up. That's all I've ever really done to get here, just kept showing up. Even when I didn't want to. That's what I do.
