(talking about the cancellation of Firefly): I broke the cardinal rule of don`t fall in love with what you`re doing, because the rug can get yanked out from underneath you, and when it did, I was heartbroken.
Nathan Fillion
(Oct. 2007) Melodrama is a much maligned genre. And I hope we can bring it back into fashion. I always think of melodrama as the thing we are all capable of that`s swept under the rug.
Sidney Lumet
You might make a lot of money, but it`s very hard to get out from under that rug. The more you can reinvent yourself, the better - and unfortunately TV is designed not to let you redesign yourself.
Peter Berg
This was supposed to be low-density residential or parks and open space. And now, essentially, they want to pull the rug out from under us.
Audra Miller
The CIA could not face up to the American people and admit that its former employees had conspired to assassinate the President; so from the moment Kennedy`s heart stopped beating, the Agency attempted to sweep the whole conspiracy under the rug.
Jim Garrison
That was timed to play well in the courtroom when they asked for more time, ... The rationale was to say, `Gee, you can`t pull the rug out now because we have a financing deal in the works.`

Herschel Walker
If you put a ten dollar bill under the rug instead of spending it, that is capital formation. It represents ten dollars` worth of something that might have been immediately consumed, but wasn`t.
Alex Halavais
I will not play tug o` war. I`d rather play hug o` war. Where everyone hugs instead of tugs, Where everyone giggles and rolls on the rug, Where everyone kisses, and everyone grins, and everyone cuddles, and everyone wins.
Shel Silverstein
I love to read. I love to stretch. In the morning, I get up, and if I`m not in a hurry, I will lie on the floor on a rug, look through some books and magazines, and maybe listen to music and try to do stretching exercises to tune up.
Jackson Browne
I always felt like the rug could be pulled out from under me at anytime. And coming from a racially mixed background, I always felt like I didn`t really fit in anywhere.
Mariah Carey
