Nothing is more usual than the sight of old people who yearn for retirement: and nothing is so rare than those who have retired and do not regret it
Charles de Saint-Evremond
My recipe for dealing with anger and frustration: set the kitchen timer for twenty minutes, cry, rant, and rave, and at the sound of the bell, simmer down and go about business as usualPhyllis Diller
About the Star Trek uniforms: "We hate our uniforms. We`ve said it a gazillion times. It`s like a chant that we have to say every day. They`re hot, they`re uncomfortable, and we can`t wait to get out of them. But even when we get to wear something else, i...
Marina Sirtis
I see The Usual Suspects (1995) as the time where I was, quote unquote, discovered. It took me six, seven years to get to that place. And it was not easy. You`re fighting with people who doubt you and your choice of career. There are a lot of doubts - and...
Benicio Del Toro
On hosting the Emmys after the 9/11 tragedy (November 4, 2001): "We`re told to go on living our lives as usual, because to do otherwise is to let the terrorists win, and really, what would upset the Taliban more than a gay woman wearing a suit in front of...
Ellen DeGeneres
(on working with Kevin Spacey on K-PAX and their similarities in working) I`ve been a big fan of his work -- The Usual Suspects, American Beauty, L.A. Confidential. He`s a really good actor and he turns out to be a wonderful guy as well. We approach actin...
Jeff Bridges
A lot of little girls under 10 really like my music and are starting to play guitar. It`s a heavy responsibility. If there`s a kid in the front row, I definitely curb my usual sailor-esque tones. (2007)
KT Tunstall
[On Ava Gardner] Today marked the worst behavior I`ve yet seen from that curious breed I make my living opposite. Ava showed up for a late call, did one shot (with the usual incredible delay in coming to the set), and then walked off just before lunch whe...
Charlton Heston
I did the odd bit of theater from the age of ten, but I spent most of my time doing the usual teenage things - you know, thinking I was black, trying to break dance and smoking a lot of dope.
Sam Rockwell
I was a bad kid for a while. I`d break curfew, smoke bud, drink booze, all the usual stuff. My parents sent me to an all-boys boarding school when I was 12 -- a school designed to even out uneven boys -- and I was constantly caught smoking. You had to cho...
Will Arnett
(On the girl that will interest him) "The usual obvious bullshit. Sense of humour, a bit of danger, good fun. A good heart is a really sexy thing. All women have the potential to be sexy and it`s nothing to do with the dress someone wears or the make-up t...
Colin Farrell
Jeg er et sted ligenu hvor det roder mere end det plejer ("I am at a place right now, where it`s more messy than usual" - When asked about his mental state.
Lars von Trier
Whether it is the old lady`s fear, or the many ghostly traditions of this place, or the crucifix itself, I do not know, but I am not feeling nearly as easy in my mind as usual.
Bram Stoker
Whenever, then, the usual and ordinary rate of the profits of agricultural stock, and all the outgoings belonging to the cultivation of land, are together equal to the value of the whole produce, there can be no rent.
Alan Skrainka
When you`re doing a deal with someone in the southern Sahara, it`s a very different way of doing business than in London. You can`t sign them in the usual way because they`d end up getting ripped off, which would defeat the object of setting up a label li...
Damon Albarn
We`ve seen a steady, quite dramatic decline in a lot of runs, including ones we`ve had counters on and anecdotal information from towns. Over the past several years there has been a sharp drop. There`s always fluctuation but it`s been more dramatic than u...
Phil Brady
We`re urging everybody to tell us if they see someone out of the ordinary that is not usual. One thing about a small town is that neighbors look out for neighbors so we are hoping to continue with that.
Doug Nelson
We`re finding with our clergy all along the Gulf Coast affected by this storm that they have a need to be a pastor as usual. We`ll let him speak, but not until he`s reminded that he allow this has happened to him as well as to you.
John Moore
We didn`t start out to make a protest record at all. That would have been too shallow. As usual, it was simply a case of absorbing what`s going on around us.
Thom Yorke
Usually I`m frustrated when I look at my films and I don`t believe that I`ve made a real transformation beyond my usual sets of gestures and expressions. I still have this nagging feeling that it`s me, that I didn`t create a unique character.
Helena Carter
Zen is not some kind of excitement, but concentration on our usual everyday routine.
