There is such a thing as perfection...and our purpose for living is to find that perfection and show it forth....Each of us is in truth an unlimited idea of freedom. Everything that limits us we have to put aside.
Richard Bach
History is a relentless master. It has no present, only the past rushing into the future. To try to hold fast is to be swept aside.
John Fitzgerald Kennedy
And when human rights are being thrown aside, ignored, well, there`s no game in progress, that`s all -- in spite of the childhood bible, the comic strip. It believes that only when you`re permitted to murder, kill, rob and burn can a game be in progress. ...
L. Ron Hubbard
I wouldn`t live in Chicago cause it`s too conservative, aside for the fact that Oprah Winfrey lives there. (from her documentary, "In Bed with Madonna_qv" )
Madonna Ciccone
[On the shooting for his writing/directing debut Nil by Mouth (1997)]: I set aside three weeks for rehearsals. Those long scenes are like a play. But I wanted things loosely structured, more like jazz. Though there was very little improv on screen, someti...
Gary Oldman
I put aside an hour every day to go over that monologue again and again for months, and every time I got to the end of it, I would crack up. - On Pulp Fiction (1994).
Christopher Walken
[Studios] won`t hire you, even though you screwed the same whores and ate the bullet for it. Yet they pull you aside at a party and say you`re their hero for the things you do. [Variety (August 14, 1997)]
Charlie Sheen
I`m a typical middle child. I`m the mediator. The one that makes everything OK, puts their own needs aside to make sure everybody`s happy. It`s hard to change your nature, even with years and years of therapy.
Jennifer Leigh
Timber faller. It`s the most dangerous, aside from combat, that you can ever have. There are a lot of ways you can get killed. A tree can "barber chair" - come back on you. "Widowmakers," which are dead limbs, can fall out. You can`t predict what a tree w...
Fred Ward
Comparing making Batman Returns (1992) to the first "Batman" film: "In some ways, this one was harder, because I felt like I was doing an impersonation of myself. Which, aside from being nearly impossible, is really weird."
Michael Keaton
I think being actor is more difficult for men. The very best actors are not afraid of playing with their own femininity and leaving aside power struggles with the director. Because there`s no getting around it: on a film set, it`s the director who has the...
Isabelle Huppert
I have never had anything that I can remember in the business - and that includes all the movies and the stage shows and everything - that I didn`t enjoy. I didn`t like some of the small-time vaudeville, because we weren`t going on and getting better. Asi...
Fred Astaire
You know, I`d say that aside from Mr. Ford`s [John Ford] help in my career, I`d lay any success I`ve had to not expecting too much. I never expected to become a star and was always content to stay two or three rungs down the ladder and last awhile. When I...
Ben Johnson
[Further talking about Robocop]: "Aside from the action-adventure, the corruption, corporate machinery gone berserk and so on, the heart of all this is a morality tale. It`s like Beauty and the Beast, or the Tin Man of The Wizard of Oz. It`s a great littl...
Peter Weller
[On being enrolled into acting classes by his parents when he was a teen] "I liked it instantly. Aside from being one of only three boys in a class of 20 girls - the odds were fantastic - I felt I was good at it, it was creative. I had been encouraged by ...
Adrien Brody
[his half-joking aside to a PA, shortly before filming the fateful helicopter sequence for Twilight Zone: The Movie (1983)] "How did I let them talk me into doing this scene? I should have asked for a stunt double."
Vic Morrow
[Jay Leno on Letterman] "Dave is one of the few performers who can say something real vicious and have it come across as a cute aside."
David Letterman
[You have to] put your own ego aside and do what`s right for the role. I`ve always been willing to do that. I really don`t care what I look like as long as it fits with the thing I`m working on.
Michael Welch
`I knew I was in trouble when I couldn`t make it offstage quick enough to get whatever variety of shit I was tipping down me. I thought to myself: There are people working in gas stations, and all these menial jobs, to put money aside to see the Ozzfest, ...
Ozzy Osbourne
Aside from being a perfect Hellboy, he is a gentleman, a friend to die for, a great actor and - for the ladies - he has the sexiest male voice this side of Barry White. What more can one ask for? - On Ron Perlman, 2002
Guillermo Del Toro
For a successful entrepreneur it can mean extreme wealth. But with extreme wealth comes extreme responsibility. And the responsibility for me is to invest in creating new businesses, create jobs, employ people, and to put money aside to tackle issues wher...
Richard Branson
You will encounter many distractions and many temptations to put your goal aside: The security of a job, a wife who wants kids, whatever. But if you hang in there, always following your vision, I have no doubt you will succeed.
Larry Flynt
