Shows Quotations | Page 4

There is small risk a general will be regarded with contempt by those he leads, if, whatever he may have to preach, he shows himself best able to perform.

Clint Eastwood is an extraordinary director because he knows the value of a buck. He knows where it will show on the screen.

Show business is the best possible therapy for remorse.

I have done about 15 movies so far and am on my 5th season on That '70s Show.

In journalism I can only tell what happened. In fiction, I can show it.

'The Practice' is one of my favorite shows of all time, and the first few seasons of that show were amazing, and then when they started winning the big case, it just got less interesting.

Especially with DVRs nowadays, people have their roster. More and more, it's not just, 'I'll watch what's on at 9 P.M.' They have their backlog of the shows they always watch, that they record every week, and it's a matter of, how do you get into that list?

In a world where shows have to keep going while the priorities change, I have to stay flexible.

I was absolutely delighted that those shows have been preserved.

Every time I show up to do something here it's considered a comeback. If I came into town and they didn't call it that, I'd be disappointed.

Two shows at once is crazy, but I love it.

You gotta have swine to show you where the truffles are.

I do like talk shows. I'm interested in talking to people.

You dont need a love scene to show love.

I was interested in working on a show that was driven by women.

I really hesitate to say that any of my shows influenced other writers.

The human psyche shows that each individual is an extension of all of existence.

I am really good about compartmentalizing and treating my family as one thing and the show or whatever my job as a secondary thing.

The great thing about 'Skins' is that it's not '90210.' We don't have to look stick-thin and ripped. Those shows send out the wrong messages by showing body-perfect people but not mentioning that they spend four hours a day in the gym to look that way.

As a teenager, my father took me to the shows at the Architectural Association and to places like Milton Keynes back when it was first being built. But I couldn't find anything for me. There seemed to be despair at the possibility of the built environment possessing any imagination in the real world.

I think the success of a talk show depends on how true it is to the personality of the person hosting it. The shows I really admire, like 'Oprah' and 'Ellen,' are distinctively like their hosts, so I think my show will be successful only if we try to stay consistent to my own sense of myself.

There used to be three networks, and now there are 40 million networks. There's a lot more competition out there, too. We would bring in 27 million people. Now, they're lucky if they have 17. I looked at the ratings, for the first time in 25 years, just to see, and there were 130 shows on. There used to be maybe 30.

In this respect I suppose I'm the total opposite of Garry. With his very emotive body language at the board he shows and displays all his emotions. I don't.

Music reality shows are a good thing, especially for those seeking a career in music.

I go to see some big shows of other bands, and I feel like I'm so bombarded and over-stimulated that I lose interest in the music. There has to be light and shade, and less stimulating moments. There has to be an arc to the show.

I've been approached after shows from people who said, 'I don't agree with anything you said, but I laughed the whole way through.' That's still a little strange to me. Like, nothing, really? But at the same time, that's what happens in a conversation.

I've always loved to dress up a bit and show off.

Sometimes, the other characters are too normal and then you start to be brought back to reality but then Luna shows up and she is just so funny and cool and honest and slightly mad and she's all that matters. She is 100% true. She puts on no shows, because she is so comfortable with herself.

While 'Visitation Street' has the markings of a traditional whodunnit mystery - starting with a missing girl, intrigue and many suspicious characters - Pochoda shows her hand early on by fingering a culprit. The book turns, then, into a 'whydunnit.'

I remember when I took Quentin Tarantino with me to a very private screening of the documentary 'Roman Polanski: Wanted and Desired,' which shows some of the legal irregularities of his case. I was involved by the film, and it was an amazing experience to see people weep at the end of it.

I have not taken inspiration from the fashion shows. I don't even really go to too many of the fashion shows - and have not for 15 years - because I don't want to be inspired by the same things as everyone else. If everyone is inspired by the same things, then of course, you all do the same pictures.

My women students openly admit that they dress for interviews like dates, hoping to look their best: makeup, high heels, a well-fitting suit that shows off their figure. And I always tell them to make sure to wear a shirt under the suit jacket. Form fitting, yes. Cleavage, no.

I just want to show off my scar proudly and not be afraid of it.

I just try to get along with people and show the love that I would like to be shown to me.

A show is exhausting when it stinks. It's exhausting when you have to work overtime to make something work.

I'm from Florida, so any time I get invited to come to Florida and play a show, I'm definitely always up for that.

I did the Ed Sullivan show four times. I did the Steve Allen show. I did the Jackie Gleason show.

As any new parent knows, you're only too happy to show off your new child and, you know, proclaim that he is the best looking or the best everything.

I like people who have a pulse and aren't afraid to show it.

Somebody like me wouldn't have gone on to the Trisha show because I already had a public profile.

I've always loved fashion and, of course, enjoyed my experiences walking on runways, but I love watching the shows as well! Now I understand more why it's such a big deal for the industry and why people work so hard before and during fashion weeks. It's interesting to see the same things from a different angle.

One of the most effective ways we started our web efforts in the early 2000s with our first channel Frederator, we basically showcased 1000's of shows on our show over a few years and what that did was introduce us to talented people from all across the world, you name it, we met people all over the place.

Evidence shows that having even weak social connections in a stressful situation is really good for your health and your ability to handle that situation.

Research shows that when we read words on paper, it reduces our stress levels by nearly 70 percent. We also read more carefully than on tablets or laptops.

There are plenty of examples of really well-executed shows you could look at and say, 'Well, clearly this show will have an audience; why wouldn't it?' And for whatever reason, it just doesn't catch on. So you never know going in.

I'd rather do movies 'cause I am better at movies, but I do shows 'cause the opportunities have come forward.

I just want to thank all my fans for their loyalty and support-for coming out to the shows and buying the CDs.

There is evidence that people do want to watch shows back to back - that's why DVR use is so high. When you're able to DVR something, people will watch more than one episode.

If you see a person who's insecure and covers it up, it can be quite a problem. But the person who is insecure and shows you is quite appealing. They give you just the courage to drop your defenses.

History shows one important fact: the results of competitive special elections from Hawaii to New York are poor indicators of broader trends or future general election outcomes.

I went to school in Gainesville because it was a huge punk and folk town. So I went to class twice a week, and then I went to shows and wrote. I did a lot of music writing before I actually started playing music.

I've started to show the consistency in majors I had in regular tournaments back in 1998-2000 when I was contending nearly every week.

I love 'Breaking Bad.' I think that's my favorite show.

I've made out more this season on a family-friendly show than ever in my actual life.

If it wasn't for what goes on in the world of politics, we wouldn't really have much of a show.

I posed nude to show my parents they couldn't dictate to me any more - that I control my life.

My first show was 'The King and I' when I was five.

My uncle worked in emergency wards dealing with people who came in with terrible injuries. He talked about the sketch shows they would put on to lighten the atmosphere. You often find this sense of grim humor in hospitals. The injuries people are suffering are ghastly. You have to laugh at something or you'd otherwise cry.

I figure it could become a self-fulfilling prophecy; if I make a successful arena rock record, I'll wind up playing arenas! I wouldn't mind being back in that kind of venue because of the kinds of things you can do with production. You can make your shows more interesting, which would be fun to do.

Research shows that whether you are low-income or not, mindset is a bigger predictor of success than academic skills, and how students gain great academic skills and persevere in the face of challenges.

Our experience shows that security does not lie in weapons or fences or armies.

A lot of the things I hold onto have memories attached to them. Bags, shoes and jewelry that were given to me from photo shoots and fashion shows throughout my career.

Combine that with the fact that we only had one week to get everything taken care of and to get to know one another, whereas most shows get two weeks. It looked like we would never have a chance.

I spend a lot of time in prayer. God doesn't always show up on my time, but he always shows up!

The coming and going of the seasons give us more than the springtimes, summers, autumns, and winters of our lives. It reflects the coming and going of the circumstances of our lives like the glassy surface of a pond that shows our faces radiant with joy or contorted with pain.

The goal for Shondaland is to continue to make very good shows that we're proud of when they're ready.

I've noticed more people coming to shows and I've had a feeling that they were from a part of the culture I haven't been able to get to before, younger people. I think on iTunes they've been experimenting with my songs and the digital radio world has been very kind to me.

If you're in love with someone maybe you can show it too much.

I have always been guided by striving to show the best that I could. That is what kept me going in tennis and it is the same now.

Yes, I am a failed playwright. I had three shows on Broadway by the time I was 30. They all flopped, and I fled.

Those that don't got it, can't show it. Those that got it, can't hide it.

You only have a week to do a show. I mean, there's only so deep you can dig in that week.

The movies and TV shows I like to watch tend to put their characters in situations where they have to dig deeper.

Sometimes I try to sell shows with a female lead to networks, and that isn't something that's been a proven formula for them, so they reject it. I do feel like men get the funniest roles in movies.

It's hard to be a breakout show and stay on top. We're like the flagship show over here.

We didn't know anything about comedy duos - Abbot and Costello, Martin and Lewis - we didn't know anything about that. Kim Fields showed us a tape of Martin and Lewis and their old shows and they come through the curtain so we started doing research on them.

George Orwell's '1984' frequently tops surveys of our greatest books: it's not a celebration of poetic language. It's decidedly anti-literary, a masterpiece of personal and political narrative sequence. And its subject matter is crucial, because what '1984' shows is that language can be a dirty trick.

I think what somebody orders and how they eat and cook really shows who they are.

Everyone starts out desperately trying to make a hit, but some people are just more mistake-prone than others. I happened to be fairly mistake-prone. Of the 40 shows I made, I'd say ten were hits, which is a pretty good average.

I do pinch myself, like when shows in non-English speaking countries are sold out, and people are singing my lyrics. I don't think I'll ever lose that; I'm always appreciative every day of the support I have as an artist, because I'm not a commercial artist.

Sprout's a really cool app for pregnant women. It shows you what your baby's development is in real time, so I find myself checking it quite often.

I really enjoy getting to go and play on other people's shows for an episode or two. It adds such variety to my repertoire.

Research shows that women at that mid level tend to get promoted based on performance, and men tend to get promoted based on potential.

Unless something real cool comes along, I will probably be doing features, so long as I can make a living doing that. Otherwise, I will do another show.

I always hated watching cooking shows where the chef would use ingredients that I couldn't get my hands on, cooking implements that I couldn't afford, recipes that I could never have access to.

Having gotten TV shows on the air, that's so much less work that trying to get the 'Veronica Mars' movie made.

What we do and say and show really matters.

I just couldn't go back to Suddenly Susan after David Strickland's suicide. I didn't see how we could make the show light and funny any more.

There's no question 'Amazing Race' is a beautifully produced show.

Sometimes it's easier to show than it is to tell

It's funny, I remember doing the Johnny Carson show, and, uh, I couldn't afford my rent.

I go through insanity before a show. It's not really a process but it's like absolute mortal fear.

I realized I really enjoyed theatre, so I did shows up in Seattle like 'To Kill a Mockingbird' and 'Lost in Yonkers.'

On general principle, I boycott shows that don't employ actors.

Show me any top entertainer or top business executive, and I'll show you a guy who has mapped out his life from the very start.

When we were 15, my brother and I were getting really into Nirvana, Green Day, and The Beastie Boys. We started going to shows and realized we really wanted to be on stage.

Some people think that my shows are just for shock value, but the provocation makes those classic pieces look different every six months. You don't need to see the same gray suit every season. But surrounding it with 40 really interesting ideas makes it feel new.

Hard work opens doors and shows the world that you are serious about being one of those rare - and special - human beings who use the fullness of their talents to do their very best.

My improv definitely shows a different side of myself, which is more true to what my real humor is and what my real personality is, and I think - I guess 'wild' is a good word for it. I'm still sweet! But I won't let anyone walk all over me.

There's nothing better than an actor who is really, really hungry to show everything they've got.
