On her disgust of how so many of her Hollywood peers have succumbed to using face-paralyzing Botox: "It`s not just women on film, 18-year-old girls feel pressure to do preventative injecting. I see someone`s face, someone`s body who`d had children and I t...
Cate Blanchett
I sort of look at some peers of mine and I think, "No, you`ve got it all wrong!" I just want to tell them all to have babies and be happy and not get sucked into that Hollywood thing.

There`s always been a lot of sexual energy in rock. I`m lucky because I haven`t had to rely on it, but it`s certainly always been a part of my music and image. -at age 40 on not worrying about competing with her younger musical peersSheryl Crow
[from an interview three months before the release of Superman III (1983)] Look, I`ve flown, I`ve become evil, loved, stopped and turned the world backward, I`ve faced my peers, I`ve befriended children and small animals, and I`ve rescued cats from trees....
Christopher Reeve
Well, I have a great deal of pride, and I care infinitely about what my peers think [about me]. It could be my downfall, but I don`t think it is - Hollywood is run on perception, and if you stray off the path of what you want to do with your career, it`s ...
Charlie Hunnam
I have never made a decision based on race and never will. I am admiring of my fellow peers, black film-makers and black actors and actresses. When Halle and Denzel won Oscars, I felt pride because I was black, but never did I analyse their win based on c...
Cuba Gooding, Jr.
Maybe for me and my peers, we`ve gotten a lot of power too quickly. I`m not a celebrity. I don`t sing or dance, so I act. All the public sees is the autograph signing and the sunglasses. They don`t see the 16-hour days, the last-minute rewrites and the he...

Charlie Jones
Too many young people were entering school behind their achieving peers. We wanted every child to come to school with the same advantages as any other child.
George Coleman
There are kids don`t want to do something because they`re afraid of looking stupid to their peers. There comes a time when they start protecting themselves, instead of extending. I want to make sure that they`re always trying to extend themselves.
Mike Krzyzewski
The kids had heard it from their peers and the hockey community that this was going to be a down year. We had to sell it to them that we are capable.
Art Speight
The Jungle means everything to the team. They are our biggest support system. Your parents still come, but it`s so great that your peers want to come out and watch your games. They get so loud and rowdy. The atmosphere in the gym is just amazing.
Blair Brown
Spike Jonze and his peers were contributing to the culture in as meaningful a way as any of the artists they were working for. The paradigm shifted to the director being the artist.
