Famous Quotes & Sayings

Antoine de Saint-Exupery

Sitting in the flickering light of the candles on this kerchief of sand, on this village square, we waited in the night. We were waiting for the rescuing dawn - or for the Moors. Something, I know not what, lent this night a savor of Christmas. We told stories, we joked, we sang songs. In the air there was that slight fever that reigns over a gaily prepared feast. And yet we were infinitely poor. Wind, sand, and stars. The austerity of Trappists. But on this badly lighted cloth, a handful of men who possessed nothing in the world but their memories were sharing invisible riches.

Bebe Neuwirth

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.

Bebe Neuwirth

My audition song is, and has been since 1977, 'I Love a Piano.

Beck

There's an infinite amount of possibilities and detours and things that can distract you from actually just performing the song and having whatever emotion that's invested into the song come through in the recording.

Beck

I know my own limitations. And if somebody says, "I need songs for a cartoon garage band - they look like this and they should sound like this," it gives you a direction. I like having that kind of assignment.

Beck

There are certain records that you love because the songs are great, but you don't go to them as an example of great production.

Beck

Back then, Pro Tools only had four or eight tracks, so we couldn't actually hear all the tracks. We could only hear eight at a time, so if a song had 25 or 30 tracks, we wouldn't be able to hear it until we went into the studio an put it all on tape. The process was a little bit backwards.

Beck

There's more well-known artists who aren't making as good songs as people who are just coming out of nowhere. That seems to be more typical in the last few years than ever.

Beck

I don't remember half of the new bands, though - and I think that's kind of where we're going. It's turning into just a big derby of songs. May the best song win.

David Snyder

Red light cameras can help communities enforce traffic laws by automatically photographing vehicles whose drivers run red lights. A nationwide study of fatal crashes at traffic signals in 1999 and 2000 estimated that 20 percent of the vehicles involved failed to obey signals. In 2004 alone, more than 900 people were killed, and an estimated 168,000 were injured, in crashes that involved red light running. About half of all deaths in red light running crashes are pedestrians and occupants in other vehicles who are hit by the red light runners.

Bertrand Russell

The camera is as subjective as we are.

Robert Freeman

I think it's taken up every year, sometimes more forcefully than others, but it doesn't seem to me that there's a real likelihood that would permanently guarantee the presence of cameras in the courtroom. Certainly, as time goes by, New York is going to become more and more of an aberration.

Deb Silverman

I went in without telling the women who I am, but the security cameras were rolling and I was very nervous.

Kara Lawson

It gave me a huge comfort level with cameras and speaking in public and knowing what to say and not what to say.

Karen Morgan

I think I'd probably be more comfortable with the cameras than with three people in a room.

Wayne Perry

Just minutes before I was doing this live pepper spray thing, I started getting a nasty headache. It was coming on strong and I felt like I was going to pass out from the pain, but I had to go on with the demonstration. I let the reporter spray me with live cameras rolling, and in seconds my headache was gone. I was in pain, but I knew I had something big here. I was shocked.

Don Thornton

Just mentioning that cameras are up there deters people.

June Allyson

I was at a luncheon; and some cameras were trained on us. I dont' know whether they were for television or not. You know how little I know about cameras.
