Through clever and constant application of propaganda, people can be made to see paradise as hell, and also the other way round, to consider the most wretched sort of life as paradise.
Adolf Hitler
My favorite villains are the ones you don`t see coming. What I enjoyed about playing Caleb was that he was so very, very clever, so very, very sweet, and so very, very twisted. I liked that he`s not a typical villain. He`s soft and sweet and righteous, an...
Nathan Fillion
Then there was school. I wasn`t a great success: I was shy, not particularly clever, and dyslexic. But thanks to an English master called Quibble-Smith, who gave me a part in a Greek tragedy, I realised that I enjoyed getting into character - I could expr...
Anthony Andrews
When I try to explain anything I always end up trying to be right usually, but not truthful necessarily. Trying to give the right answer or what I think is the right answer. It`s a human instinct. You try to be as clever as you can be. You`re trying to co...
Al Pacino
I had a certain fear of exposing myself too much in my work for a long time. A lot of what performing to me had been was elaborate, and at times quite clever, concealment. Someone once said of acting that it is `telling beautiful lies,` and well, it becam...
Patrick Stewart
On Mad Max II (The Road Warrior) "It was a very, very clever movie. Just look at what the genius of George Miller started. A lot of people copied that look that genre over the years. It was really quite ahead of its time."
Virginia Hey
Hollywood doesn`t need me. After `Amélie,` I didn`t get any offers that interested me. I have very eclectic tastes, but it`s important for me that a movie be sensitive, clever and subtle.
Audrey Tautou
Being sexy is being confident. It`s important to know you don`t have to have silicone breasts falling out and a thigh-high skirt. Sometimes you meet people and they think, `Another cute little blonde actress.` That`s not who I am. - on rather being known ...
Sarah Gellar
I`ve always thought as an actor, I`m not very clever about that, not very clear on it. My choices aren`t about `OK, if I choose this film, that will let me carry on,` you know. Whether it is a big budget movie or a small budget movie, that isn`t part of m...
Ewan McGregor
If you give the audience what they expect, they`ll be bored. There are no rules: You do what you want while respecting the boundaries. You don`t poke people in the eye; you do things they haven`t seen before and make it accessible, funny and clever.
Matthew Vaughn
The sign of a clever auteur is to achieve the illusion that there is a sole individual responsible for magnificent creations that require thousands of people to accomplish.
Louis Mayer
[on getting the part of Bethany in Dogma (1999)] When I read the script, I just said, "There`s no way anyone else is allowed to have this part". I thought it was extremely clever and it had very imaginative answers to all my childhood questions about ange...
Linda Fiorentino
(About "Sabrina, the Teenage Witch" (1996)) "The show is meaningful to kids and I think it does have a great message. I mean, I wish when I was a kid that I`d been watching a show where women were so clever and so forthright and powerful. I love the way t...
Beth Broderick
You may think me crude, and probably I am crude, but I am not so crude as I was, for I am clever enough to see that the girl of nineteen who thought herself a genius was only an unusual girl writing her heart out.
Amanda Gunter
You lose your anonymity just like a helium balloon with a string. Therefore people are going to have their own opinion and they`re going to write in whatever clever manner they desire.
Kim Basinger
They were so clever finding ways to get me the ball. They had to do more than just give up open shots. They had to avoid fouls and pass me the ball in traffic.
Wilt Chamberlain
The young women in my classes are feisty and clever and believe, often with the passion of youthful optimism, that feminism is a battle already won. I worry for them - and for my daughters, too.
Alta Charo
The way we played last week, we can take lots of encouragement, but we can`t get ahead of ourselves. We can`t get clever. If we have the same attitude as last week, we won`t go far wrong.
Andrew Flintoff
The notion of a universality of human experience is a confidence trick and the notion of a universality of female experience is a clever confidence trick.
Angela Carter
