The only thing I knew was MGM, where I had worked since I was 14. Unions were not even a part of my vocabulary. SAG meant a gravity problem. EQUITY meant owning a house.
Jane Powell
(On working with M. Night Shyamalan) "I mean, he`s definitely got his own thing going on. He`s got his own way of shooting things, which is great for actors because he doesn`t shoot the hell out of things. He`s got a very definite visual vocabulary for st...

And then of course I thought Palpatine was a pretty good character. I like the notion that he didn`t have any psychological subtlety or depth, that he was just solidly evil and the dirtiest word in his vocabulary was `friend`. I thought that was terrific.
Ian McDiarmid
We use the word `hope` perhaps more often than any other word in the vocabulary: `I hope it`s a nice day.` `Hopefully, you`re doing well.` `So how are things going along? Pretty good. Going to be good tomorrow? Hope so.`
Studs Terkel
We have Dick to thank for adding the word `regionalism` to our vocabulary. During his 12-year tenure with the Chamber, he has been a powerful voice for regional cooperation and collaboration with outstanding results. His accomplishments are numerous, but ...

The two most misused words in the entire English vocabulary are love and friendship. A true friend would die for you, so when you start trying to count them on one hand, you don`t need any fingers.
Larry Flynt
The personal vocabulary, the individual melody whose metre is one`s biography, joins in that sound, with any luck, and the body moves like a walking, a waking island.
Alan Thompson
The most important word in the vocabulary of advertising is TEST. If you pretest your product with consumers, and pretest your advertising, you will do well in the marketplace.
Alan Shaw
Pressure is a word that is misused in our vocabulary. When you start thinking of pressure, it`s because you`ve started to think of failure.
Tommy Lasorda
People with a high vocabulary will often detect that they are having problems, ... but if you give them a standardised test they perform above average.
Annabel Karmel
Of course there are big differences in length and character and vocabulary, but each level has its particular pleasures when it comes to the words one can use and the way one uses them.
Alyce P. Cornyn-Selby
Many times in our society, children are the forgotten grievers because they don`t grieve the way we do. They don`t openly talk about how they are feeling because they don`t have the vocabulary. How on earth would kids know how to describe these feelings?
David Kessler
I`ve created a vocabulary of different styles. I draw from many different ways to take a picture. Sometimes I go back to reportage, to journalism.
Annie Leibovitz
I`m specifically interested in how to create a vocabulary about children`s sexuality. That it exists at all, and that it exists in an adult world,
Miranda July
I was probably just trying to be Dennis Miller, but without the vocabulary to actually be Dennis Miller. I guess I was just less interesting than I am now, if I am interesting at all.
Todd Berry
I wanted to talk about that and show that without having to just have a vocabulary of blame or shame -- to say that it can be both really scary and OK, ... It can also be sad and exciting and even kind of fulfilling. It`s really not a good conversation to...
Miranda July
I wanted to define the vocabulary of a wedding both visually and intellectually. The book is about more than weddings or wedding dresses. It`s a metaphor for women`s lives, their creativity.
Vera Wang
Human vocabulary is still not capable, and probably never will be, of knowing, recognizing, and communicating everything that can be humanly experienced and felt.
Allan Radel
First, we have to find a common vocabulary for energy security. This notion has a radically different meaning for different people. For Americans it is a geopolitical question. For the Europeans right now it is very much focused on the dependence on impor...

Arthur Young`s Reflexive Universe - fascinating but too schematic to fit into my scheme. The most I could hope for was a sense of the vocabulary and some possible images.
Alfred Steiglitz
[Those vocabulary words colored what people thought about her.] Different coworkers would find out I went to church. And they`d be like, `You take that mouth to church?` ... I wasn`t walking with the Lord every day or listening to what the Holy Spirit put...
