I regard psychiatry as fifty percent bunk, thirty percent fraud, ten percent parrot talk, and the remaining ten percent just a fancy lingo for the common sense we have had for hundreds and perhaps thousands of years, if we ever had the guts to read i
Raymond Chandler
Life is like a box of crayons. Most people are the 8-color boxes, but what you`re really looking for are the 64-color boxes with the sharpeners on the back. I fancy myself to be a 64-color box, though I`ve got a few missing. It`s ok though, because I`ve g...
John Mayer
But we ride bikes, we go swimming, you do art projects, you do things as a family. We go to Denny`s, my big places to shop are Wal-Mart and Target. Seriously, that`s where half of my stuff comes from now. I don`t get to go to the super-fancy stores unless...
Kelly Preston
I always get billed as `Dita, internationally known fetish supermodel
I`m really a small town girl from Michigan who has a good laugh that being a fancy-pants stripper got me here!
Some people say what I do isn`t very liberating. I say it`s pretty l...
Dita Von Teese
A lot of celebrities just want money, fame, power, fancy cars, houses all over the world and have people bow down to them. To me, that`s frightful behaviour.
Shirley Manson
Rhythym is born in all of us. To be a desirable dancing partner you don`t have to do all the intricate fancy steps that happen to be in vogue. All you have to do is be a good average dancer and anybody who spends the time and effort can accomplish this.
Ginger Rogers
I`m lucky that people do leave me alone. I`m not Madonna. The red carpet is work for me. I work from 9-to-5 and when I get home, I don`t want to go back to work by going to an industry event. For me, putting on makeup and a fancy dress is work.
Jodie Foster
[on turning down a role in `Pirates of the Caribbean`] " [I] didn`t really fancy sitting in a hotel room in Los Angeles for nine weeks for two minutes on screen, to be honest. I don`t really want to be an actor. I want to write and direct. I`ve been offer...
Ricky Gervais
Once when we were fifteen, River and I went out for this fancy dinner in Manhattan and I ordered soft-shell crabs. He left the restaurant and walked around on Park Avenue, crying. I went out and said, I love you so much. Why?" He had such a pain that I wa...
Martha Plimpton
[on his character Col. William Travis in The Alamo (2004)] "He`s painted as this big, swashbuckling kind of hero, but Travis didn`t consider himself a hero. For Travis, he always thought a leader was someone who puts on fancy clothes. He finally figures o...
Patrick Wilson
You will find that the truth is often unpopular and the contest between agreeable fancy and disagreeable fact is unequal. For, in the vernacular, we Americans are suckers for good news.
Ahmed Bedier
Why should we change onstage? We`re not trying to be something big and fancy, it`s just us, doing what we do, we`d like to keep it that way.
Clifford Burton
What we found is that the signal is so bold and big, that you don`t have to do any fancy statistics to beat it out of the data. It`s just there, bang. And the odds are exceedingly good that the model did not trick us with this signal.
Tim Barnett
Well, you know I have an office, my film offices. So I know that syndrome. I fancy offices, so there must be something wrong with me. Even the window cleaner intrigues me. It`s a very sexy environment.
Hugh Grant
We put up the fancy spires first. When we saw that the whole edifice was shaky, we set to building the walls. We have still to make a cellar.
Andrew Tagli
We need to steer clear of this poverty of ambition, where people want to drive fancy cars and wear nice clothes and live in nice apartments but don`t want to work hard to accomplish these things. Everyone should try to realize their full potential.
Barack Obama
The best real-estate investments with the highest yields are in working-class neighborhoods, because fancy properties are overpriced.
Algernon Charles Swinburne
really did a lot to boost the popularity of the game. Viewers immediately liked Moneymaker a down-home boy from Tennessee and average players everywhere could identify with him. He`s not flashy or fancy. He`s a good guy who`s not full of himself.
Greg Raymer
On the human imagination events produce the effects of time. Thus, he who has travelled far and seen much is apt to fancy that he has lived long; and the history that most abounds in important incidents soonest assumes the aspect of antiquity.
