Picture Quotes

Picture Quotes by Alec Baldwin, Rachel Riley, Aaron Diehl, Katherine Heigl, Fay Wray, Timothy Olyphant and many others.

I haven’t changed, but public life has. It used to be you’d go into a restaurant, and the owner would say, ‘Do you mind if I take a picture of you and put it on my wall?’ Sweet and simple. Now, everyone has a camera in their pocket.
Alec Baldwin
Even though you picture Russians as stoic, their language is really poetic.
Rachel Riley
It’s much like playing jazz, flying. It’s multitasking in real time. You have a number of instruments that alone won’t tell you exactly what the airplane is doing but together give you a picture of everything that’s going on.
Aaron Diehl
I always assume I look better than I actually do. I’ll feel pretty good about myself when I leave the house, then I’ll see a picture and think, ‘Crap, I had no idea that’s what I was looking like.’
Katherine Heigl
When the picture was finished, they took me into the sound room and then I screamed more for about five minutes just steady screaming, and then they’d cut that in and add it.
Fay Wray
I can’t get enough of ‘Pulp Fiction.’ I just love it; it still holds up. And it didn’t win Best Picture, by the way. Didn’t win.
Timothy Olyphant
Villains never know they are villains in a picture so I play this like I’m the nicest guy in the world.
Wayne Rogers

Ellen Goodman
Everybody is constantly putting themselves under a microscope in terms of their productivity and their financial success and this whole idea of ‘Picture Me Better,’ like picture me, you know, who I’m supposed to be versus, you know, just accepting who we all are.
Weyes Blood
I was very pleased you know, and I was afraid that I might stick out, but I didn’t. My happiest thing about that picture is that I proved that American actors can speak as well and also fit in with an ensemble like that.
Rod Steiger
The picture was of me, and I sent it.
Anthony Weiner
It’s a very good time for horror. This business certainly has changed, but there’s still room for serious horror films. Look at 28 Days Later, that’s not a tongue-in-cheek picture.
John Carpenter
I’m not a detail guy. I depend on accountants and administrators to do my detail stuff for me, but I do know the overall picture and I know that if you put business people together in a room, not just politicians, they could shrink the deficit tremendously by good business tactics.
John Paul DeJoria
It is a good idea to know which publishers publish which stories. For example, there is no sense in sending a picture book text to a publisher who does not publish picture books.
Margaret Mahy
When I got a telly we had no aerial, but I discovered that if I or one of the children stood by it you could get a picture. So I had to make a statue that could stand by the telly.
Beryl Bainbridge
I’ve had lots of parts in movies that I’ve never seen. I mean no disrespect to them. It was really fun to go act, but I’m not calling my friends and saying, ‘I couldn’t be more proud of this picture. You should go see it.’
Timothy Olyphant
I read everything aloud, novels as well as picture books. I believe the eye and ear are different listeners. So as writers, we have to please both.
Jane Yolen
There’s certainly pressure to find your audience early. You need to paint the picture, but it’s tough trying to find the balance between a show that people can tune in on any given week while still grabbing the people who are there every week.
Jorge Garcia
I don’t care whether a role is 10 minutes long or two hours. And I don’t care whether my name is up there on top, either. Matter of fact, I’d rather have someone else get top billing; then if the picture bombs, he gets the blame, not me.
Ernest Borgnine
I think that audio and video over the internet in the sense of teleconferencing and telephone calls. Maybe we’ll actually have picture phone through your work station.
Jon Postel
We normally know Jesus as a humble, loving servant, which He is. But Revelations gives us the bigger picture of who Jesus is, in His glory.
Jud Wilhite
Can you design a Rorschach test that’s going to make everyone feel something every time – and that looks like a Rorschach test? It’s easy to show a picture of a kitten or a car accident. The question is, how abstract can you get and still get the audience to feel something when they don’t know what’s happening to them?
Jason Reitman
I feel particularly close to them, because I am now out in the universe. I’m in a position to see nature from another point of view, to be outside the earth and see the big picture.
Story Musgrave
Once your kid reaches middle school, parents are really supposed to fade out of the social picture. Kids are supposed to make their own plans, keep up with sophisticatedly crude discussions, and be able to go out on their own without supervision.
Claire Scovell LaZebnik
The ability to have somebody read something and see it, or for somebody to paint an entire landscape of visual imagery with just sheets of words – that’s magical. That’s what I’ve been trying to strive for – to draw a clear picture, to open up a new dimension.
Mos Def
The more mature you get and the more you understand about life, your picture gets clearer, the focus gets clear.
Omarion
In my view, the only way to see a film remains the way the filmmaker intended: inside a large movie theater with great sound and pristine picture.
Ridley Scott
Sane judgment abhors nothing so much as a picture perpetrated with no technical knowledge, although with plenty of care and diligence.
Albrecht Durer
There is one confrontation scene toward the end of the picture. In the middle of the scene, I thought, That’s Sean Connery! I don’t know how else to describe Sean Connery. I still feel that way.
F. Murray Abraham
We’d rather see a picture that we liked then dump on one we didn’t.
Gene Siskel
That’s the terrible thing: the more one works on a picture, the more impossible it becomes to finish it.
Alberto Giacometti
She came up with a whole way of doing fluoroscopy, which is kind of like a live version of X-ray, so that she could see the heart as it worked, not frozen in a picture.
Mary Stuart Masterson
My imagination can picture no fairer happiness than to continue living for art.
Clara Schumann
The law requires a paper towel ad to be scrupulously honest, but allows political candidates to lie without reproach. What’s wrong with this picture?
Jef I. Richards
I like movies, because it’s kind of a combination of every art, it’s like it’s picture, it’s story, it’s music, it’s kind of like a clash and a collide of every art. It’s really neat.
Jonathan Jackson
The most difficult thing is the organization of people and the expression of your intentions. It’s very easy to have a picture in your head and to imagine that you’ve told everybody about what you need.
Neil Jordan
My nominee for Best Picture of the year – maybe the best picture ever, because it’s essentially made up of and is an ecstatic love letter to all other movies – is Christian Marclay’s endlessly enticing must-see masterpiece ‘The Clock.’
Jerry Saltz
I’m very self-conscious having my picture taken, so I clown around. My driver’s license photo looks like a blonde Elvis.
Emily Procter
When people tell you they saw your last picture – well, the way they say it sounds like they hope it was.
Broderick Crawford
Even though I know who I am, musically I’m a blank canvas. I know what colors I want to use, but I don’t know what picture I want to paint yet.
Becky G
That which, perhaps, hears more nonsense than anything in the world, is a picture in a museum.
Edmond de Goncourt
Good romantic suspense can never underestimate the audience, and the best political leaders know how to shape a compelling narrative that respects voters and paints a picture of what is to come.
Stacey Abrams
It’s hard for young players to see the big picture. They just see three or four years down the road.
Kareem Abdul-Jabbar
There are so many different camps about what being gay means. The danger comes when each one is so rigid that it sees itself as the true picture.
Dan Butler
I was saying as a joke the other day that I love film editing, I know how to cut a picture, I think I know how to shoot it, but I don’t know how to light it. And I realize it’s because I didn’t grow up with light. I grew up in tenements.
Martin Scorsese
We’re trying to get to the bottom of where the picture came from, and we’re trying to get to the bottom of what it’s of and who it’s of.
Anthony Weiner
Tyrone, I think they’re taking to festivals. I don’t know which festivals it will be at. It’s like a buddy picture. It’s a couple of guys driving across the country and they get to a small town and they hit a guy. The guy turns out to be a drug smuggler.
Ethan Suplee
To diagnose and treat a brain disorder accurately, it would be necessary to look at the brain directly. Looking at behavior alone can miss a vital piece of the puzzle and provide an incomplete, or even a misleading, picture of the child’s problems.
Aditi Shankardass
Mt. Gox was a teachable moment for everyone in the Bitcoin community, and ShapeShift has innovated these problems out of the picture.
Erik Voorhees
I’ve wanted to follow my dad into acting for as long as I can remember. ‘I’ve had a very serious round of dramatic training, and I like action films that take their characters seriously, so I figure I’m making it the best of both worlds if I try to bring some serious acting to a shoot-’em-up picture.
Brandon Lee
Our notion of the perfect society embraces the family as its center and ornament, and this paradise is not secure until children appear to animate and complete the picture.
Amos Bronson Alcott
When I am finishing a picture, I hold some God-made object up to it – a rock, a flower, the branch of a tree or my hand – as a final test. If the painting stands up beside a thing man cannot make, the painting is authentic. If there’s a clash between the two, it’s bad art.
Marc Chagall
When I start a picture, I always have a script, but I change it every day. I put in what occurs to me that day out of my imagination. You start on a voyage; you know where you will end up but not what will occur along the way. You want to be surprised.
Federico Fellini
I remember when I was in school, they would ask, ‘What are you going to be when you grow up?’ and then you’d have to draw a picture of it. I drew a picture of myself as a bride.
Gwen Stefani
There’s simply anger over the accountability that Yelp brings and also this feeling of powerlessness because so much power is now being put in the hands of the consumer. But the important thing that gets lost with some of these business owners who are very upset with us is it’s the whole picture that counts.
Jeremy Stoppelman
You cannot make a social-conscious picture in which you say that the intermediary between the hand and the brain is the heart. I mean, that’s a fairy tale – definitely.
Fritz Lang
The picture has made its million back in four months; I have been overwhelmed by letters, hundreds of them, literally, begging me in my next production not to swing over the shallow trash of mother love, father love, sister love, brother love.
Erich von Stroheim
You know one of the things about going from modeling to acting is it’s so much more fulfilling. With modeling, you get your picture taken, which is great, good for you, you know? But in acting, you’re able to reach in and show a little bit more of yourself.
Tom Welling
If I am right about the big picture, I will be rewarded for my patience.
Thomas Kaplan
What we realize is number one, people want to know what the Bible says. In their heart, they want to know the Bible but it is just hard to understand the big picture of it. And number two, they want to know where they plug in.
Max Lucado
I’d be more interested in doing a smaller, character driven thing, rather than another action picture.
Sigourney Weaver
Each and every head coach has their own ideas and philosophy. This club had a clear picture of what I would bring, and I was aware of what Norwich City means. I decided to sign here because I’m fully convinced this club is where I want to be.
Daniel Farke
MPC, Moving Picture Company, they’re really excellent, they did the majority of the effects.
Ridley Scott
It’s not worth getting too excited about thinking about the larger picture. The larger picture doesn’t come into focus for an awfully long time.
Jonathan Safran Foer
Do some selfless service for people who are in need. Consider the whole picture, not just our little selves.
Nina Hagen
One does not contemplate it like a picture. The idea of contemplation disappears completely. Simply take note that it’s a bottle rack, or that it’s a bottle rack that has changed its destination… It’s not the visual question of the readymade that counts; it’s the fact that it exists, even.
Marcel Duchamp
I’d read the book and liked the book, but it made me really uncomfortable trying to picture myself in this part. Here’s this guy who seems to be the embodiment of every single perfect guy.
Robert Pattinson
Key Largo… I could have stayed on that picture for the rest of my life. I adored it.
Claire Trevor
Baseball is a game based on adversity. It’s a game that’s going to test you repeatedly. It’s going to find your weaknesses and vulnerabilities and force you to adjust. That adversity, in the big picture, is a really good thing because it shows you where your weaknesses are. It gives you the opportunity to improve.
Theo Epstein
He asked me whether I had seen the movie ‘The Color Purple.’ I said no she hadn’t. And Bobby said, ‘Well, it’s a terrible picture. They don’t make good, decent, moral pictures nowadays.’
Tommy Bond
I have the picture in my mind of how emotional I will feel if I win again.
Yani Tseng
A picture can hide as much as it reveals.
Alexandra Petri
I was trained in seismic prospecting. We’d drill a deep hole and put dynamite in the bottom and blow it up remotely, which would give you a cross-sectional picture of the subsurface, which tells you where to drill.
George Saunders
I have a picture of me with Lady Antebellum, when they released their first single and I was at CMA Fest as a fan. I’m in flower-power shorts and a headband – so not cute – and I’m fan-girling next to Hillary. I couldn’t believe I was standing next to her.
Kelsea Ballerini
When I finish a picture I don’t show it to anyone if I feel it’s not good enough yet. I’ve learnt to listen to my partners and my friends. For me it’s the biggest success if they like it.
Marilyn Manson
I’m very visionary, very big picture.
Max Azria
Nine years old, I became the victim of war. I didn’t like that picture at all. I felt like, why he took my picture, when I was agony, naked, so ugly? I wished that picture wasn’t taken.
Phan Thi Kim Phuc
One of the Life Saving men snapped the camera for us, taking a picture just as the machine had reached the end of the track and had risen to a height of about two feet.
Orville Wright
I see a picture right now that’s not parallel, so I’m going to go straighten it. Things must be in order.
Katherine Johnson
When I’m talking to groups that are all men, we talk about how the masculine role limits them. They often want to talk about how they missed having real fathers, real loving, present fathers, because of the way that they tried to fit the picture of masculinity.
Gloria Steinem
Picture being forced to talk endlessly about your feelings and listen and care when what you needed was just to get something done.
Liz Phair
Jesus lived a life that was full of joy and contradictions and fights, you know? If they were to paint a picture of Jesus without contradictions, the gospels would be fake, but the contradictions are a sign of authenticity.
Paulo Coelho
Picture books are for everybody at any age, not books to be left behind as we grow older. The best ones leave a tantalising gap between the pictures and the words, a gap that is filled by the reader’s imagination, adding so much to the excitement of reading a book.
Anthony Browne
In Atlanta, my mom came and came downstairs and we were talking like behind the crowd. People from the crowd saw me and started running towards me, asking for pictures and stuff. This girl asked for a picture, and after she got it, she passed out.
Lil Mosey
It’s no stretch to picture me standing next to Al Pacino or Robert De Niro. Those are ethnic New York men. I’m an ethnic New York girl. Everybody has their limitations. I mean, I should never be cast as Queen Elizabeth.
Ellen Barkin
He’s very alive in a scene. He’s a very good actor to act with. Even though through most of the picture he’s blind, there are many places early in the picture I got to be with him before he was blind. Like convincing him in the office to do the picture.
Mark Rydell
I never danced a step in my life so naturally. My first motion picture was a musical, and Bob Fosse was the choreographer. I didn’t exactly dance for Fosse, I just did the best that I could to do what he taught us to do.
Dick York
I didn’t picture myself as a movie actress. I began to think about it around college. I remember thinking, ‘Well somebody has to be in them,’ so maybe I could do that eventually. It’s all been a surprise.
Annette Bening
I will, proudly and by preference, do at least one picture a year for King Brothers, and I will try to make it the best picture that I have it in me to do.
Dalton Trumbo
I thought that it would be easier to learn that if I worked in motion pictures. So I went to work with one motion picture producer who was developing a color system. This didn’t do to me much good. All I did was pick filters for the camera.
John Hench
We must have as clear a picture as we can of the Australia that we want to achieve at the end of that time.
Lionel Murphy
I look at the things that Dick Van Dyke and Danny Kaye do on television, and I think: Maybe I could do that. And I never miss a Jack Lemmon picture.
Bob Crane
I wanted to do new things with dance, adapt it to the motion picture medium.
Gene Kelly
Its not really about the movie business, it’s about staying in the picture.
Robert Evans
I know that it isn’t just violence against women, it’s how do we support ourselves and our families, how do we deal with health care for ourselves and our families? It’s a bigger picture.
Patricia Ireland
I think it’s really important to look at the big picture instead of just one competition.
Shannon Miller
I’d go down to the end of my street, to a garage that had a certain feeling about it, or a particular light; I’d take a picture of a friend who needed a head shot. That’s how I learned, instead of having school assignments and learning camera techniques.
Herb Ritts
I won’t say I’m not fascinated by the way advertising works. I like the sleekness. But a picture in advertising doesn’t last too long. They have to work for 30 seconds. And I’d like to reach at least two minutes. This is my goal: to break that two-minute record.
Maurizio Cattelan
As a general truth, it is safe to say that any picture that produces a moral impression is a bad picture.
Edmond de Goncourt
No one is an artist unless he carries his picture in his head before painting it, and is sure of his method and composition.
Claude Monet
What you look for in a picture is a metaphor, something that means something more, that makes you think about things you’ve seen or thought about.
Mary Ellen Mark
Motion Picture Soundtrack on Kid A was another Coltrane inspiration.
Colin Greenwood
I don’t know if there’s anything sadder than an actor who hasn’t made a good picture, and at least I got a few good ones that will stand the test of time. I feel very fortunate about that.
Michael Madsen
In the middle of my third Hollywood picture The Magician, the earthquake hit Hollywood. Not the real earthquake. Just the talkies.
Conrad Veidt
Why should I have my picture taken when I can get paid for it?
Pearl White
A great artist can paint a great picture on a small canvas.
Charles Dudley Warner
I did a bit of boxing when younger. Once I was joined by Muhammad Ali as my co-commentator. I’ve got a picture of the two of us together ringside at the Albert Hall on my wall at home.
John Motson
My father was always very interested in space. I watch Star Trek and all those things, but I always had a different picture in my mind… maybe closer to Alien. I don’t see it in space as much as I do see it in different planets, with each having its own strange characters.
Sigourney Weaver
I don’t happen to approve of plastic surgery. I think God put plastic surgeons on this earth for good reasons – people get burned or people might have a nose like Pinocchio and that has to be fixed. But to just chop yourself up to look a few years younger? You could come out looking like a Picasso picture.
Iris Apfel
My message to everyone: the next time you hear about migrant children near the border, just picture them as your own. Then think what you would want our government to do.
Al Sharpton
I think beauty comes from within, and society paints a ridiculous picture.
Rachel Bilson
When you talk about professional footballers, rightly or wrongly, people often already have an idea in their head about what they’re like; they’ll paint a picture before they’ve met them.
Chris Coleman
I’m all about telling stories. I like people to picture the music video in their head when they’re just listening to the song.
Becky G
A picture is a fact.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
Grown-ups and children are not readily encouraged to unearth the power of words. Adults are repeatedly assured a picture is worth a thousand of them, while the playground response to almost any verbal taunt is ‘Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me.’ I don’t beg so much as command to differ.
Inga Muscio
Envision what the end result is supposed to be… what do you want to be when you grow up? Where do you see yourself? Once we identify what the painting on the wall is, it is so much easier to bring in the right colors, canvas and brushes to paint that picture.
Fat Joe
There’s a time in your life where you’re not quite sure where you are. You think everything’s perfect, but it’s not perfect… Then one day you wake up and you can’t quite picture yourself in the situation you’re in. But the secret is, if you can picture yourself doing anything in life, you can do it.
Tom DeLonge
I always picture my grandkids looking at their grandfather and saying, ‘My grandfather was the last or the first to do something.’ There’s nothing like setting goals and watching yourself get there, accomplishing that goal and putting your name to a part of history.
Deontay Wilder
A movie and a stage show are two entirely different things. A picture, you can do anything you want. Change it, cut out a scene, put in a scene, take a scene out. They don’t do that on stage.
Cab Calloway
Why did I elope with my husband after knowing him for only four months? I wish I could show people the picture of the two of us that night and have them feel what I felt. But it’s just a picture. It can only capture how things looked, not how they felt.
Taylor Jenkins Reid
People are generally forced to change. We don’t want to change, and then something absolutely forces us to realize that what we are doing isn’t working or that our picture of the world is wrong. We fail. So we change.
Ira Glass
Once an object has been incorporated in a picture it accepts a new destiny.
Georges Braque
Since the model he so faithfully copies is not going to be hung up next to the picture… it is of no interest whether it is an accurate copy of the model.
Lucian Freud
Formulate and stamp indelibly on your mind a mental picture of yourself as succeeding. Hold this picture tenaciously. Never permit it to fade. Your mind will seek to develop the picture… Do not build up obstacles in your imagination.
Norman Vincent Peale
I don’t want to paint a picture of total gloom and doom.
Fareed Zakaria
Moonstruck… was one of the few romantic comedies to be nominated for a Best Picture Oscar.
Norman Jewison
A good picture book should have events that are visually arresting – the pictures should call attention to what is happening in the story.
Chris Van Allsburg
You don’t write a book. You write a sentence and then a paragraph and then a page and then a chapter. Looking at writing 400 plus pages or seventy thousand odd words is incredibly daunting, but if you just focus on the immediate picture – say, 500 words – it’s not so overwhelming.
Rebecca Serle
We will literally send a van and a photographer to the home of anybody that can say they can’t get a picture made and a photo ID and we will do it… at the state’s cost and the taxpayer cost and not at the individual cost.
Phil Gingrey
When they make a woman’s picture, they treat it like a ‘woman’s picture.’ In the ’40s, they didn’t treat Joan Crawford movies like that, but as the big movies of their year. I’m upset that there’s no ‘Terminator’ with a woman in Arnold Schwarzenegger’s role. Because that would make just as much money.
Ellen Barkin
I really think the mind of someone who hasn’t been welded into place by their work or studios or actors or this whole society is a wonderful mind to work with, so I’d like to do a big picture with an unknown director.
Joan Severance
I was a bridesmaid at a wedding in one picture.
Dorothy Malone
Anybody can direct a picture once they know the fundamentals. Directing is not a mystery, it’s not an art. The main thing about directing is: photograph the people’s eyes.
John Ford
When people meet me or hear me in person, they quickly learn that I am much more than a tweet and a profile picture.
Shaun King
It’s what everyone is after, I mean they want success and when they get it it’s an incredible pressure but what you have to do is try to keep the big picture in view.
Gerry Beckley
You go to a Japanese restaurant and have a wonderful dish, and the thing to do is take a picture with your phone, put it on Facebook, and see how many likes you get. If you don’t share your experiences, they don’t become part of the data processing system, and they have no meaning.
Yuval Noah Harari
What I find sometimes that is tricky is if actors are using too much of their own life in a picture, in a scene, they get locked into a particular way to play the scene, and it lacks an immediacy.
Tom Cruise
A great artist can paint a great picture on a small canvas.
Charles Dudley Warner
I do an hour’s yoga and go running every day. Then I see a picture of myself and I still look like a skinny, potbellied idiot – and I thought I had turned into this superhunk!
Chris Martin
I want to thank everybody and anybody who ever had anything to do with the making of this picture.
Morgan Freeman
I love scoring. Putting music to picture is a rewarding challenge and one that relies on interpretation of emotion – as in, what is the pivotal feeling in a scene and which character’s point of view is driving it at any given moment?
Liz Phair
I never hide, when I walk down the street, someone’s going to take my picture, that’s what I look like.
Carnie Wilson
Photograph: a picture painted by the sun without instruction in art.
Ambrose Bierce
I will be so glad to take the picture and pose and look good for the picture. But when you catch me while I’m looking real sideways and the picture’s ugly as hell, I don’t want you to have the picture like that!
Busta Rhymes
Beauty and the Beast became the first animated feature ever nominated for best picture.
Leonard Maltin
The trick to forgetting the big picture is to look at everything close-up.
Chuck Palahniuk
There’s an art to asking questions. Briefings are valuable but normally communicate primarily what the subordinate leader wants you to know, and often the picture they provide is incomplete.
Stanley A. McChrystal
And, since the model he faithfully copies is not going to be hung up next to the picture, since the picture is going to be there on its own, it is of no interest whether it is an accurate copy of the model.
Lucian Freud
My mother took my picture to a model agency and the rest is history.
Angie Everhart
In Hollywood – in Hollywood, you’re as good as your last picture.
Erich von Stroheim
There are all sorts of reasons why I don’t do much work in the theatre, the main one being that after two performances I feel I’ve given all I can. I hate repetition, I really do. It’s like asking a painter to paint he same picture every day of his life.
Peter Cushing
My mom taught me the power of love. I learned to focus on the long-term big picture from my father. His sense of humor and light-hearted approach always make me smile. My husband is a pivotal anchor in my life. His influence encourages me to be independent and take risks.
Padmasree Warrior
Close your bodily eye, that you may see your picture first with the eye of the spirit. Then bring to light what you have seen in the darkness, that its effect may work back, from without to within.
Caspar David Friedrich
I could develop a picture by the time I was 12.
David Bailey
Life is a canvas of many strokes where shades from different palettes meet into a picture so concrete that some forget it is their own, so become framed themselves.
Vanna Bonta
When I was asked to compose a score for… ‘Palo Alto,’ I first thought to myself, ‘What is the house that these characters would want to live in?’ I wanted to paint a picture and color scheme that I could work around. I gently apply different daubs to see what fits to match the color I have in mind with these characters.
Dev Hynes
I can kind of picture what I want to do and my body just does it. You feel your way through a trick. I close my eyes sometimes.
Shaun White
I had a terrible motorcycle accident, in San Francisco as matter of fact. Doing a picture called… oh, this is terrible. It’s a very well-known film and I can’t remember the name. That’s what happens when you get older… I fell off a bridge in San Francisco and was laid up for two years.
William Lucking
The usual picture of Socrates is of an ugly little plebeian who inspired a handsome young nobleman to write long dialogues on large topics.
Richard Rorty
These days, it takes only seconds – seconds – for a picture, a photo, to suddenly become an international headline.
Leon Panetta
A couple of seats at a good picture house cost comparatively little but give a generous return in the shape of freshened minds and freedom from the worries that even the best regulated homes cannot always avoid.
Ivor Novello
My Dad hated his job. He sold overcoats, but he wanted to make movies. He had a failed career working with the Ritz Brothers – they were like the Marx Brothers, only a tier below. I always had a picture in my mind of him in a straw hat.
Steve Sabol
If the picture hadn’t been taken, people wouldn’t know what happened in the war.
Phan Thi Kim Phuc
I can’t just wear whatever when I go out because somebody might want to take a picture. People are, like, taking pictures of me in my car when I’m driving. It’s crazy. I kind of hate it sometimes.
Bryson Tiller
I thought I had a clear picture of death, but now I know it’s a mystery and it will always be a mystery, although it is something we all have in common: everybody knows that life ends with death.
Beth Gibbons
When someone drew a picture of Pope John wearing an Avis ‘We try harder’ button, those words no longer meant which car rental to patronize, and yet some of the overtones from its original meaning are there and make a contribution to the new situation.
Corita Kent
Once, I had to clip a jacket back to take a picture, and after they were done I forgot to remove the clip until someone noticed.
Shay Mitchell
I don’t mind if somebody comes up to me and shakes my hand, but if I’m in the middle of a restaurant and somebody asks me for a picture, I can be a jerk and say no, or I can say yes and draw more attention to myself, which is exactly the opposite of what I want.
Macaulay Culkin
A picture is the expression of an impression. If the beautiful were not in us, how would we ever recognize it?
Ernst Haas
I think women get caught up too much in having a plan – ‘I’m going to get married at this age; I’m going to have a kid at this age’ – and then they just try to find a guy who will fit into that picture. I don’t want my life to be based on that.
Julia Stiles
As adults, we’ve seen so much before that we often turn the pages of a picture book without really looking. Young children tend to look more carefully.
Anthony Browne
There’s a terrible truth for many women in the picture business: Aging typically takes its toll and means fewer and less desirable roles.
Maureen O’Hara
I had to go to a mirror and look at it. I couldn’t picture myself in my own head. I had no image beyond a stick figure. I wasn’t a mean person as a kid, or dumb, and something has to be said to justify excluding you.
Uma Thurman
If the worst that happens is that I wake up and see a picture of myself and a headline saying, ‘He wasn’t very funny last night’, then I’ve got nothing to complain about.
Matt Lucas
We live in such a gullible world. Anything that’s written, anything that’s posted, anything picture that is interpreted one way is taken as truth.
Keri Hilson
When I was about ten, I discovered evolution by reading a book by Wilhelm Boelsche and seeing a picture of Archaeopteryx.
Konrad Lorenz
Your aim as a photographer is to get a picture of that person that means something. Portraits aren’t fantasies; they need to tell a truth.
Tim Walker
The weirdest request I got was for a picture of me naked with nothing on but my cowboy boots. Needless to say, she went home empty-handed. I have, however, on several occasions, strolled around my apartment in nothing but my cowboy boots. There was just no one there to take pictures.
Ian Ziering
The thing that’s caught me off guard is going to dinner and people asking me for autographs or to take a picture. People coming to my house asking for autographs – that’s something I really haven’t grasped the whole entirety of yet.
Johnny Manziel
I did a picture 40 years ago with Carroll O’Connor and Telly Savalas, God rest their souls, and Clint Eastwood, called ‘Kelly’s Heroes,’ which we filmed in Yugoslavia for six months.
Don Rickles
When I paint a picture of a house, that goes back to my roots.
Edward Ruscha
We approached Athens from the north in early twilight, climbing a hill. When we reached its peak, we were dazzled to look down and see the Acropolis struck by one beam of the setting sun, as if posing for a picture.
Donald Hall
The Patients’ Bill of Rights is necessary to guarantee that health care will be available for those who are paying for insurance. It’s a part of the overall health care picture.
Debbie Stabenow
In all three cases, and for most human beings, the problem of suffering poses no difficult problem at all: one has a world picture in which suffering has its place, a world picture that takes suffering into account.
Walter Kaufmann
I’ve always wanted to appear in a 3-D Movie, that’s always been a goal of mine. If you appear in a 3-D picture you are a shoo-in for an Oscar. There’s no competition.
Nikki Cox
I’d just as soon not get into a discussion about Jane and her politics. I’d just as soon stick to what we’re here for, the picture.
Henry Fonda
As I have practiced it, photography produces pleasure by simplicity. I see something special and show it to the camera. A picture is produced. The moment is held until someone sees it. Then it is theirs.
Sam Abell
But, you know, it’s still a drag to get your picture taken when you’re eating a sandwich. It’s a downer.
Keanu Reeves
Give me any two pages of the Bible and I’ll give you a picture.
Cecil B. DeMille
You picture yourself as being 22 always, and so it’s very bizarre when you’re not.
Ad-Rock
The Academy Awards ceremony is designed to be without irony, but Chris Rock supplied it anyway with filmed movie-theater interviews with black men and women who had never heard of the movies nominated for Best Picture.
Suzanne Fields
The 1890s was perhaps the most Gothic decade ever: ‘Dracula,’ ‘The Picture of Dorian Gray’ and ‘The Time Machine,’ not to mention ‘Heart of Darkness’ and ‘The Interpretation of Dreams,’ were all written between 1890 and 1899.
Mark Fisher
But the moment you use an ordinary camera, you are not seeing the picture, remember, meaning, you had to remember what you’ve taken. Now you could see it of course, with a digital thing, but remember in 1982 you couldn’t.
David Hockney
Acting is the physical representation of a mental picture and the projection of an emotional concept.
Laurette Taylor
People just expect you to show up, be a cartoon character of yourself, take your money and go home. But don’t screw up to the point where you’re gonna be out of the picture.
Jimmy Chamberlin
Sometimes, if I see a picture and I can make it a bit better, then I will, like everyone else does. I’ve been Photoshopped in every picture since I started modelling.
Kelly Brook
I really never thought about the way I looked until boys came into the picture.
Georgia May Jagger
Supermodels are over, and the new picture girl has become the television actress.
Portia de Rossi
It is the framework which changes with each new technology and not just the picture within the frame.
Marshall McLuhan
A revolution is not a dinner party, or writing an essay, or painting a picture, or doing embroidery.
Mao Zedong
I can assure you that it feels even stranger to me than it probably does to you to have seen so much written about me when I have done so little to paint a picture of myself.
Pippa Middleton
I had only that one picture, Hitler, the Beast of Berlin, in which I had a part big enough to impress anyone. I tried for better roles over and over again.
Alan Ladd
I am an artist, you understand? For me, a picture is like poetry. When you make art, this is not coming from an intellectual place. It’s coming from the deep side of your unconscious, your soul.
Alejandro Jodorowsky
If people don’t want to go to the picture, nobody can stop them.
Samuel Goldwyn
I’ve made 122 movies, and I daresay there’s a picture of mine showing somewhere in the world every day.
Tony Curtis
I’ve seen it too many times in Hollywood. Talking about a relationship in public can jinx it. And if you have your picture taken together, you might as well start packing your bags.
Gina Gershon
When I was a kid, I used to do my homework in the living room, where there was a picture window. I was hoping that someone would walk by and see me looking very studious in my living room.
Greta Gerwig
You return and again take the proper course, guided by what? – By the picture in mind of the place you are headed for.
John McDonald
I found out that you could audition by sending a picture of yourself and some information to Newsround.
Rupert Grint
Some theists in evolutionary science acquiesce to these tacit rules and retain a personal faith while accepting a thoroughly naturalistic picture of physical reality.
Phillip E. Johnson
I’ve been watching politics for 35 or 40 years and you just never know. You can have one person win the Iowa caucus and then the whole picture changes ten minutes later. The same thing can happen again after New Hampshire. I have no idea what’s going to happen with our country in the future.
Jackie Mason
I keep a picture of my beloved children close by. Also, water and plenty of pads and pens.
Alain de Botton
I think you have a pact with an audience in every picture, and I think the pact is to try and be truthful and to be real.
James L. Brooks
My dad was an engineer and so I had this picture of science and technology and pursuits of the mind as being more impressive than artistic pursuits, which I saw a as kind of frivolous.
Scott McCloud
I picture Generation X as young adults living in a state of perpetual adolescence.
Chris Eigeman
The larger picture here is that a North Korea with nuclear weapons adds to the larger proliferation risk.
Susan Rice
No one painted a more accurate picture of military depredation than Vergil. Inspired though he was by the Latin spirit and by his pride in Rome, he nevertheless glorified Rome’s true mission as one of providing the world with the rules of peace and justice.
Ernesto Teodoro Moneta
I like having my picture taken and being a glamorous person. Sometimes when I find myself getting impatient, I just remember the times I cried my eyes out because nobody wanted to take my picture at the Trocadero.
Rita Hayworth
Forget it, Louis, no Civil War picture ever made a nickel.
Irving Thalberg
I think the one thing this picture shows that’s new is the psychological disproportion of the kids’ demands on the parents. Parents are often at fault, but the kids have some work to do, too.
James Dean
The great thing about making picture books is that you can make absolutely anything you want happen. It’s a bit like making a film, but you don’t need lots of money for actors and costumes – you just need pens, paper, and your imagination.
Mini Grey
Too caustic? To hell with the costs, we’ll make the picture anyway.
Samuel Goldwyn
Do not think that I have stopped painting, for at any moment, I am liable to paint a good picture.
Winslow Homer
Style is innate to who I am. My father gave me a picture the other day. I must have been about seven, and I had on wing-tip shoes and some cool pants. I thought, ‘Wow!’
Dylan McDermott
The mindset that I have on every project I take on is, ‘How do I make this interesting enough for me to want to stop and look at it?’ So in that regard, what I do behind the camera, whether it’s still or motion picture, is the same.
Aaron Ruell
The postman wants an autograph. The cab driver wants a picture. The waitress wants a handshake. Everyone wants a piece of you.
John Lennon
I have written most of my melodies walking and I feel it is definitely one of the most helpful ways of sewing all of the different things in your life together and seeing the whole picture.
Bjork
Now to consult the rules of composition before making a picture is a little like consulting the law of gravitation before going for a walk. Such rules and laws are deduced from the accomplished fact; they are the products of reflection.
Edward Weston
I’m convinced that no one can amount to a damn in the arts if he becomes sweetly reasonable, seeing all sides of a picture, forgiving all sins.
Kurt Vonnegut
I liked his ability to deal with a lot of the negativity that surrounded him. Even though he was in a world that he didn’t want to be in, he still saw the bigger picture.
Dwayne Johnson
Naturally, there are times when every woman likes to be flattered… to feel she is the most important thing in someone’s world. Only a man can paint this picture.
Marilyn Monroe
But you can’t show some far off idyllic conception of behavior if you want the kids to come and see the picture. You’ve got to show what it’s really like, and try to reach them on their own grounds.
James Dean
I remember a picture on the front page of the ‘Sun’ during the Brixton riots: a rasta guy with a petrol bomb, and a headline saying something like: ‘The Future of Britain.’ And I thought: ‘Wow! Look at the power of that image,’ and I wanted to get behind the camera to make these people three-dimensional.
Gurinder Chadha
What is the use of good painting? We want a spell cast upon the optical part of our existence! We seldom really see the world, but when we do, we become as still as a picture.
Robert Musil
When AI approximates Machine Intelligence, then many online and computer-run RPGs will move towards actual RPG activity. Nonetheless, that will not replace the experience of ‘being there,’ any more than seeing a theatrical motion picture can replace the stage play.
Gary Gygax
I am a bigger-picture manager because I’ve lived through something that’s a big picture.
Sheryl Sandberg
I see all these posts saying, ‘I met Lewis Capaldi,’ and in the picture, I look like a melting hippo.
Lewis Capaldi
Everybody accuses me of moving fast when I direct a picture. I don’t move fast, but I just keep moving.
Clint Eastwood
A conversation goes sometimes into personal things and that’s nicer. You look to each other and you have a different picture, you get into a relationship.
Maximilian Schell
I seldom ever missed a Gary Cooper picture if I could manage to see it.
Clint Walker
I really work. I like feeling that I’ve nailed it, and we’ve got the picture.
Kate Moss
I, personally, think there is a really danger of taking food too seriously. Food should be part of the bigger picture.
Anthony Bourdain
Where I’m at in life, the women have got to come with something else, not just the body, but the mind and spirit. It usually trips them out, but that’s the way it’s going to be. I’m looking at the big picture.
Lenny Kravitz
I planted an orchard when I was 13. The impulse came from wanting to grow my own apples. That and the nursery catalog showed an apple tree with a beautiful girl standing under the fruit. Whether the flavor or the picture that did it, I’ve been hooked since.
Bill Pullman
I sincerely hope that I shall always be a credit to my race, and to the motion picture industry.
Hattie McDaniel
I can’t form a total picture of things. Because I’m not her.
Frances Conroy
Have a picture in mind of the kind of career you want, the kind of writer you want to be. This will help you make tough decisions when you reach crossroads – choosing an agent, deciding to accept deals.
Carrie Vaughn
I am impressed with what happens when someone stays in the same place and you took the same picture over and over and it would be different, every single frame.
Annie Leibovitz
People wonder why first-time directors can make a brilliant picture, then suck on the second one. It’s because they’re a little terrified the first time. So they listen to all the experts around them.
James Caan
Players should know that if you can’t make the contribution of the winning shot, that your attitude every day when you come to practice, or the positive contribution you make through cheering and keeping up team morale, is just as important in the overall picture.
Sue Wicks
I’m always in my pajamas, unless I know for a fact that people are taking my picture.
Bethenny Frankel
With Connery, he does act. He is in complete command. He completely trusts the person first, then the instrument. I’ve worked with his son also, on a picture in Russia.
F. Murray Abraham
I did ‘Dirty Picture’ when I was only 24 years old. From there on, I kept on acting and learning about acting.
Abhishek Banerjee
It’s nice to walk into a club and see your picture. Then you know you’ve done something good.
Fuzzy Zoeller
The ideal engine of a 3-D game is an intricate and elegant construct of code that allows players to speed through solidly built virtual worlds. The engine allows every picture on a monitor to be drawn there quickly enough to convince hand and eye that it is instantaneous.
Marc Laidlaw
For me, when I picture the person I want to end up with, I don’t think about what their career is, or what they look like. I picture the feeling I get when I’m with them.
Taylor Swift
There’s a picture of Christopher and the real Ken Titus and myself in my dressing room. He’s a great guy, by the way. I just think the real Ken is just super. And he’s so happy for his son’s success.
Stacy Keach
I enjoy photography. It’s a lot of fun. It keeps me on my P’s and Q’s and, when you think about it, most people think photography is just going to a game. But you start to think, dang, that would be a good picture. Or you’re driving along and see something and think, ‘that would be nice.’
Ken Griffey Jr.
For me, every photograph is a portrait; the clothes are just a vehicle for what I want to say. You’re photographing a relationship with the person you’re shooting; there’s an exchange, and that’s what that picture is.
Peter Lindbergh
When you think of couponing, you picture a mom cutting coupons out of the back of the newspaper.
Andrew Mason
I’m appalled the word feminism has been denigrated to a place of almost ridicule and I very passionately believe the word needs to be revalued and reintroduced with power and understanding that this is a global picture.
Annie Lennox
I learned you have to fight for yourself in the picture business.
Loretta Young
I realise that I had the best of serious picture journalism. There was an innocence in our approach, especially in the 1950s and 1960s when we naively believed that by holding a mirror up to the world we could help – no matter how little – to make people aware of the human condition.
Eve Arnold
I always have a camera now that I’ve got a kid, but I don’t think I’ve got one picture of anyone other than my daughter.
Georgina Chapman
Half of me is very excited and the other half is ‘Haven’t we seen this stuff before?’ But I’m very impressed. I almost couldn’t picture it when it was being put together. I couldn’t picture it being in my hand, what it would look like.
Jaime Hernandez
I grew up in Hollywood, California. A lot of my parents’ friends were in the motion picture industry, but I saw their doctor friends as more solid. I admired them; there was a peacefulness in them, a sense of purpose that I liked. So I became very interested in being a surgeon.
Spencer Johnson
We live in capitalism, and capitalism is defined by the production line, and the production line is defined by specificity. If you see yourself as an artist, which I do, then you can’t be limited by that. You can’t let somebody tell you, ‘Well, you can only draw this kind of picture or write that kind of book.’
Walter Mosley
I had a very weird, very vivid dream. Donald Trump and I were in some kind of room. It was an office with pictures on the wall behind us, and we were standing next to each other posing for a picture.
Mike Lindell
I put the storyboard down and came back to it like two weeks later and saw that I had written ‘Butt-Head’ next to the picture, and it kind of made me laugh and I thought, Well, might as well go for every laugh you can get.
Mike Judge
All of my friends are like, ‘Look at me when I was a little kid. I was so cute!’ and it’s a picture of them in a tutu. I’m so terrified to show them my pictures, because it’s me in boy shorts and a ponytail and my brother’s shirt.
Sofia Richie
Growing up, I was a giant KISS fan, and the truth is the record I had was ‘Rock and Roll Over,’ and there wasn’t even a clear picture of them in the packaging! So I really had no idea what they looked like; I just loved their music.
Rivers Cuomo
I did learn that there’s a bigger picture than just being the best at your sport.
Ashlyn Harris
I just thought it was magic that you could stick a bit of paper in some coffee-type liquid and a picture comes out.
David Bailey
Basically we just created our own label, but again we just did it to document our own music and create our own thing, so the major labels were just always out of our picture, we’re not interested.
Ian MacKaye
I think it’s such a powerful thing: Words and melodies, and you put them together. I couldn’t really picture a world without music. It would be quite boring.
Sabrina Carpenter
We have a picture for how complexity arises, because if the universe is computationally capable, maybe we shouldn’t be so surprised that things are so entirely out of control.
Seth Lloyd
We in the FBI have created a malware repository and analysis tool known as the Binary Analysis Characterization and Storage System, or BACSS, which provides near real-time investigative information. BACSS helps us link malware in different jurisdictions and paint a picture of cyber threats worldwide.
James Comey
I shall cheerfully bear the reproach of having descended below the dignity of history if I can succeed in placing before the English of the nineteenth century a true picture of the life of their ancestors.
Thomas Babington Macaulay
Most novices picture themselves as masters – and are content with the picture. This is why there are so few masters.
Jean Toomer
As an actor, you really want to respect and honor the script. You want to try to be in the moment and you also realize that you’re one part of a bigger picture and when they call action, you have your dance.
Carrie-Anne Moss
When I think about the songs I might record, I ask myself, ‘Can I picture anybody I know back home sitting in their truck cranking this up?’
Blake Shelton
My brother was a great audience, and if he liked the picture, he would laugh and laugh and laugh, and he would want to keep the picture. Making people laugh with an image I had created… what power that was!
Lynn Johnston
At the same time, new concepts and abstractions flow into the picture, taking up the task of describing the universe without reference to such time or space – abstractions for which our language lacks adequate terms.
Benjamin Whorf
I love to read and decorate – most things that people would not picture Sable doing.
Sable
And I remember that the editors wanted to have a witness to say that this was really the case, because it was a very sharp picture of the just the face, the head of the fetus inside the womb.
Lennart Nilsson
My paintings have gotten to be pretty popular and I’ve taken a little bit more interest in painting the last few years. In fact, my novel that I wrote not too long ago, ‘The Hornet’s Nest,’ I painted the cover picture for it and I do a good bit of painting now.
Jimmy Carter
I think I’m always adopting a persona. That’s how I look at pop music. I don’t feel like I have to be myself. I feel like I have to be true to myself, but I don’t have to show an exact picture of who I am.
Robyn
I heard we’ll get you a pass because we know you’re married to a black woman. You’re married to a sister so we’ll give you that pass but also, those who know me but also if they look at the body of work, it is the bigger picture.
Blair Underwood
A picture is a poem without words.
Horace
The most happy marriage I can picture or imagine to myself would be the union of a deaf man to a blind woman.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
I think that commercials can really ruin a song. You know that the person sold the song for a good deal of money, and that was the tradeoff. But, music and picture can marry in a beautiful way, and the reverse also.
David Lynch
Beauty is in the character of a person. It’s about having an interesting face and about what’s inside. Anyone can take a good picture.
Patrick Demarchelier
I did a picture for the First Barbie doll box.
Heather O’Rourke
The big picture doesn’t just come from distance; it also comes from time.
Simon Sinek
Humor expands our limited picture frame and gets us to see more than just our problem.
Allen Klein
The technology is really where all of the changes have taken place, but the fundamentals of a good story being the basis of every good picture, and really the only basis still remains the rule, more so today, I think, because we’ve unfortunately weaned an audience from birth to kind of mindless movies.
Richard D. Zanuck
The big picture is the Trials and Olympics. I just have to keep focused for that, keep moving forward.
Ryan Lochte
I always have a good reason for taking something out but I never have one for putting something in. And I don’t want to, because that means that the picture is being painted predigested.
Robert Rauschenberg
I think that one of the things that I can do is I seem to have the ability to zoom in super tight for very small details, but then jump back for sort of that big picture perspective. And I think that ultimately, that’s one of my strengths, because you have – every detail matters.
Henry Selick
I put little goals in place every day, and I think if you can kind of keep to the small things it’s easier to capture the big picture at the end.
Xander Schauffele
I don’t picture myself as a normal person when I play football, and I don’t think anyone else pictures me that way as well.
Robert Griffin III
Every soldier must know, before he goes into battle, how the little battle he is to fight fits into the larger picture, and how the success of his fighting will influence the battle as a whole.
Bernard Law Montgomery
And even Moonstruck – for some reason the audience were just in the mood for a very romantic film, because it’s one of the few romantic comedies to be nominated for a Best Picture Oscar.
Norman Jewison
I’m the type of person who would rather stay home than get my picture taken.
Ashley Olsen
Press freedom has great virtues. It is not about irresponsible scandal-mongering, although that may be part of the picture. It is a means of revealing wrongdoing.
Jacob Rees-Mogg
I’m never on Twitter. I’m never on Instagram. And that’s not by choice: it’s just that those things never really interested me. I might post a picture here and there, but that ain’t really been my focus.
Kevin Gates
Art consists of limitation. The most beautiful part of every picture is the frame.
Gilbert K. Chesterton
When the news is good, the BBC view is: ‘Get the government out of the picture quickly, don’t allow them to say anything about it.’ When the news is bad: ‘Let’s all dump on the government.’
Iain Duncan Smith
I don’t like food that’s too carefully arranged; it makes me think that the chef is spending too much time arranging and not enough time cooking. If I wanted a picture I’d buy a painting.
Andy Rooney
As long as designers want to dress me, photographers want to take my picture and companies think my face will help their products, then I won’t go anywhere until they’re done with me.
Linda Evangelista
I mean, if you asked me what I’m going to be doing when I’m 85, I’d make a quick picture in my mind and, well, I’ll be singing.
David Johansen
Your attitude is like a box of crayons that color your world. Constantly color your picture gray, and your picture will always be bleak. Try adding some bright colors to the picture by including humor, and your picture begins to lighten up.
Allen Klein
We must get into the picture business. This is a new industry and a gold mine. it looks like another telephone industry.
Joseph P. Kennedy
I believe that nationalism is a very strong force, but there are other forces operating; there are tendencies pushing towards a larger picture, especially in Europe, I think; but I still think nationalism is real.
Peter Singer
No, I had the Levis guy on my wall, not a picture of William, sorry.
Kate Middleton
We’re not just being dramatic talking about a human extinction – that’s the pathway we’re on. We have to look at the bigger picture. If your child had cancer and it was unlikely they were going to survive, you’d do everything in your power to fight it.
Gail Bradbrook
I don’t have to run the Peace Corps. I could live without seeing my picture in the newspapers and without being interviewed.
Sargent Shriver
A picture is worth a thousand words.
Unknown
I’m a shadow whisperer: I hide in the shadows. And I tend to avoid places where I might get photographed and end up with my picture in the press.
Jessica Chastain
If you ever see The Rock working out in the gym, don’t think you can just go up and disturb his workout and expect him to take a picture. He’s there to work, so kindly just pass the silverback on by or he’ll rip your face off.
Dwayne Johnson
The illustrations in picture books are the first paintings most children see, and because of that, they are incredibly important. What we see and share at that age stays with us for life.
Anthony Browne
A picture book is a small door to the enormous world of the visual arts, and they’re often the first art a young person sees.
Tomie dePaola
It’s really sort of morbid, but she said her mother wanted to see me all her life. And when she died, she made just one request: that a picture of me be put into her casket. So somewhere in England, I’m in a casket.
Hank Snow
Being a motion picture actress is the pitch of ecstasy.
Norma Shearer
I have likened writing a novel to going on a journey, with some notion of the destination I will arrive at, but not the whole picture – which emerges gradually as a series of revelations, as the journey goes along.
Rose Tremain
Early on, I found the attention completely embarrassing. I’d cringe if I saw my picture on the cover of a magazine.
Julie Christie
Seeing the bigger picture opens your eyes to what is the truth.
Wadada Leo Smith
I guarantee you that two directors that are any good can take the same story, change the name of the characters, change the name of the town, and make an entirely different picture.
Howard Hawks
When I was 17 I sent a picture up to an agency, and within a week I was in The Sun five days in a row.
Katie Price
When I stop working, I go out and start working again. Most people paint a picture, or whatever they do, and go home. For me, it has to be continuous.
David Bailey
We are all captives of the picture in our head – our belief that the world we have experienced is the world that really exists.
Walter Lippmann
I was walking around with the babies so much that when I got to the Sidney Lumet picture, I would be on set in between takes and I’d be rocking back and forth. Just standing like this rocking back and forth, and Sidney would say, Why are you walking like that in between takes?
Vin Diesel
Men will shop, but they only shop when they need something. Women shop with passion and because it’s enjoyable, and for some, it’s even entertainment. All you have to do is step into a mall and see how many stores are geared towards men and how many are geared towards women, and you’ll get the picture.
Brian Lee
To sum it all up: It was a great picture to do; I just wish it had never been released.
Jack Nance
When we are out there selling a new picture, when did it become part of the deal that you have to sell the family? To use the juicy part of your life to get attention? I’m not blaming the reporters. It’s the system.
Jimmy Smits
I’ve been in beautiful landscapes where one is tempted to whip out a camera and take a picture. I’ve learned to resist that.
David Byrne
Your characters have to remain innocent of what your picture is after.
Douglas Sirk
It’s not an epitaph. I felt I could look back at my life and get a good story out of it. It’s a picture of somebody trying to figure things out. I’m not trying to create some impression about myself. That doesn’t interest me.
Alan Alda
I understand what it can feel like when people are bullying you, and you can’t just seem to catch a break, and people don’t see who you are. And people completely paint their own picture. And you’re supposed to zip it and just go along with whatever they say.
Hilaria Baldwin
Atmosphere, not action, is the great desideratum of weird fiction. Indeed, all that a wonder story can ever be is a vivid picture of a certain type of human mood.
H. P. Lovecraft
There are hundreds of books about Woodrow Wilson, but I have an image of him in my mind that is unlike any picture I have seen anywhere else, based on material at Princeton and 35 years of researching and thinking about him.
A. Scott Berg
I don’t have an interest in any car that isn’t good for the environment, other than maybe an aesthetic quality in a picture book.
Emile Hirsch
I think ‘Lost Boy’ is more of a metaphor for oneself. When I listen to that song, I don’t picture someone else. I kind of wrote it from a very honest place.
Ruth B
Know what you’re trying to do before you do it. Turning knobs at random isn’t enlightening any more than throwing paint at a wall blindfolded will let you paint a nice picture.
Steve Albini
I had done my first picture and I didn’t have anything to do for awhile. I was asked to come back to New York and do Bus Stop in the role of the cowboy opposite Kim Stanley.
Dick York
Actually, the camera was never overhead at any time. It was always a side view of me. Subsequently, after the picture was released, I saw some scenes from above and my clothes being pulled-and I think that was added later.
Fay Wray
When in doubt, wear a suit. Look at male politicians: you see them in a suit, and they look fine. But if you see a picture of them on the weekend or on vacation, there’s a good chance they look terrible and unstylish.
Carine Roitfeld
If you could draw a picture of the best high school in the world – where all the teachers are wonderful and all the classrooms are beautiful, it would be my high school.
Kym Whitley
If you look at the big picture, you start losing your focus on the little things.
Julius Randle
I met a lot of young girls modelling and they were like, ‘Oh, I’m running around town and people are taking my picture’, while I was saving receipts and learning how to be self-employed.
Christina Hendricks
The movements which I make I cannot possibly repress because, at the time, I am actually the idea I am interpreting, and naturally I picture my players and auditors as in accord with me. I know, of course, that my mannerisms have been widely discussed.
John Philip Sousa
I maintain that if you’re a novelist and you go into an art museum, you’ll come out a better novelist. And if you paint a picture for an hour you’re a better actor at the end of it.
John Hawkes
My dream concept is that I have a camera and I am trying to photograph what is essentially invisible. And every once in a while I get a glimpse of her and I grab that picture.
Leonard Nimoy
In France we have a law which doesn’t allow the press to publish a photo that you didn’t approve. It lets the paparazzi take the picture, but if they publish this picture, you have the choice to sue the newspaper. So me, I always sued them.
Audrey Tautou
Wrestling needs to be about the art form again. It needs to be about painting a picture and having a really good match.
Hulk Hogan
You always have to be on at times, and occasionally people get upset if you say no to a picture when you’re eating dinner or something, and that’s kind of the hard part. Or if you get crazy rumors that swirl around you from time to time that are just silly.
Aaron Rodgers
The picture of Prince Charles meeting Gerry Adams is inexpressibly sad.
Peter Hitchens
The hard part is how to plan a picture so as to give to others what has happened to you. To render in paint an experience, to suggest the sense of light and color, of air and space.
Maxfield Parrish
I start a picture and I finish it.
Jean-Michel Basquiat
When I’m singing a song, I picture somebody in particular. A lot of it is to a guy.
Leighton Meester
In most films music is brought in at the end, after the picture is more or less locked, to amplify the emotions the filmmaker wants you to feel.
Ken Burns
I think words come between the spectator and the picture.
Howard Hodgkin
Painting picture by picture, I followed the impressions my eye took in at heightened moments. I painted only memories, adding nothing, no details that I did not see. Hence the simplicity of the paintings, their emptiness.
Edvard Munch
I would sooner play in a good British picture than in the majority of American pictures I have seen.
Glynis Johns
I think in every picture that I’ve ever made. Everything that I’ve done torments me. I really would like another chance except I’d be too embarrassed to ever really try to do them again and no one would want to see the same movie just done differently.
Sam Raimi
I cannot tell you much about the picture- it depends on so many things, the first of which that comes to my mind is: splendid as he is, is there too much of Spencer Tracy.
Basil Rathbone
Places are part of nature, of the bigger picture. We are interrelated. When we contemplate them in their own right, they can sometimes change our lives; they can become spiritual experiences.
Etel Adnan
The model today is that as much as 70 percent of the financing of the picture would come from overseas. Now we’re beginning to run out of suckers, because there are not that many people overseas who are willing to put up more than half the money for a movie.
Peter Bart
As a midfielder, you have to have vision. If you see an opening that might create an opportunity, you have to believe in yourself and go for it; a 40-yard pass or an eye-of-the-needle ball. You have to feel you are going to make it. That’s the way I play. I have a picture in my mind, and I go for it.
Aaron Ramsey
Quite often I can be in a bookshop, standing beneath a great big picture of myself and paying for a book with a credit card clearly marked John Grisham, yet no one recognises me. I often say I’m a famous author in a country where no one reads.
John Grisham
I believe human beings mark a threshold in the development of the planet, of course, but it is only part of the picture. What Big History can do is show us the nature of our complexity and fragility and the dangers that face us, but it can also show us our power, with collective learning.
David Christian
I know of no scholar more dedicated to bringing a thorough and accurate portrayal of America’s involvement in Vietnam than Mark Moyar. Everyone who is interested in a full picture of that oft-misunderstood war should be grateful for his effort.
Jim Webb
Always point your finger at the chest of the person with whom you are being photographed. You will appear dynamic. And no photo editor can crop you from the picture.
Ken Auletta
More and more people are seeing the films on computers – lousy sound, lousy picture – and they think they’ve seen the film, but they really haven’t.
David Lynch
Every picture has been a learning opportunity for me.
Sam Raimi
I usually create sounds and have different generators running over it. You know you can open a word-file as a picture or the other way round. I do the same with sounds.
Alva Noto
I saw Tequila Sunrise as a romantic picture with complex, bigger than life characters.
Conrad Hall
The days, months, and years eventually reveal, like a Polaroid, a clear picture of how significant events and decisions ultimately shape our lives.
Hoda Kotb
People take the little bit of information they’re fed, and they draw a picture of who you are. Most of the time, it’s wrong.
Rihanna
My friend Quincy Jones says we won our first Grammys together in 1963. I have no recollection. I don’t even remember the room. When he showed me the picture, I remembered what I wore. But it’s like awards don’t mean anything.
Barbra Streisand
I have had fans make me the big picture collages of the photo books; I have had fans send me birthday cakes… sing to me on my voicemail. I have had fans flash me. I have had older fans give me their bras and underwear onstage.
Sean Combs
‘The Lion’ all began with a picture of a faun carrying an umbrella and parcels in a snowy wood. This picture had been in my mind since I was about sixteen. Then one day, when I was about forty, I said to myself, ‘Let’s try to make a story about it.’
C. S. Lewis
I’d like to think a baseball picture is somewhere in my future.
Garth Brooks
Natalie’s estate is handled by Global Icons, and they police the world so her picture isn’t on a T-shirt or coffee cup unless we approve of it.
Robert Wagner
Women are not in love with me but with the picture of me on the screen. I am merely the canvas on which women paint their dreams.
Rudolph Valentino
So is civil society prepared for the future? Probably not. Most organisations have to live hand to mouth, juggling short-term funding and perpetual minor crises. Even the bigger ones rarely get much time to stand back and look at the bigger picture. Many are on a treadmill chasing after contracts and new funding.
Geoff Mulgan
As soon as people see my face on a movie screen, they knew two things: first, I’m not going to get the girl, and second, I’ll get a cheap funeral before the picture is over.
Lee Marvin
Now they call in all of the authority figures they can find and hire them – the cost has gone up. The picture may or may not get better, but definitely, it gets more cumbersome.
Don Bluth
Media reporting denied privacy to anybody doing what I do for a living. It was no longer possible to work on your picture in privacy.
James L. Brooks
Tech companies approach you to hold something in a picture and then say, ‘This is what I want you to write on your Twitter.’ There are people who get away with that and look really cool doing it, but I’m just not one of them.
Alexa Chung
As leaders, we become whole when we see that our focused, singular commitment to making the numbers and the metrics cannot be effective on its own, but only when it is part of the whole picture – only when we see that it takes more than metrics to make up the whole.
Lance Secretan
It takes me about two hours to run into Target. People always want a picture. They hem and haw, and they can’t spit the words out, so they waste about five minutes of my time just standing there getting ready for a picture. Just do it!
Abby Lee Miller
I feel like the quality of privacy and respect of people’s personal space has been completely disintegrated. You can ask to take the picture. I will be so glad to take the picture and pose and look good for the picture.
Busta Rhymes
In hip-hop, as in neoliberalism, economics bullied politics out of the picture.
Mark Fisher
The creative artist seems to be almost the only kind of man that you could never meet on neutral ground. You can only meet him as an artist. He sees nothing objectively because his own ego is always in the foreground of every picture.
Raymond Chandler
Regardless of whether you speak the language or are familiar with a culture, the picture should hold up.
Herb Ritts
That was one of the great successes of removing Saddam Hussein, as we took Iraq out of the picture of having a sovereign nation from which the terrorists could operate. But this war has not gone perfectly.
Zach Wamp
I do not believe the picture that some people paint of Scottish towns dependent on welfare. Every time I come here, I meet people who are determined to get into work. Who, with the right help are desperate to get off benefits, support their family and set an example for their children.
Iain Duncan Smith
The only thing Martha and I have in common is that we both used to model. Martha Stewart is extremely talented. Her designs are picture perfect. Our philosophy is life is messy, and rather than being afraid of those messes we design products that work the way we live.
Kathy Ireland
For sure, all over Poland, kids had my picture of a lemur on their bedroom wall – but the chances are they may never get to see a real lemur in Madagascar. I thought this was great and it really meant a lot to me.
Nigel Dennis
I saw a picture of Elvis in blue lame, and thought that if I could recreate that suit and walk down the King’s Road in it, someone might pick me up and take me off on a crazy adventure.
Malcolm Mclaren
I’m always looking for a kind of new musical entity to sort of move into a motion picture venue.
Brian De Palma
I don’t believe in careers. I believe in work. I’m not interested in some ‘big picture that would be really good for me’.
Debra Winger
Actually, I’m not all that interested in the subject of photography. Once the picture is in the box, I’m not all that interested in what happens next. Hunters, after all, aren’t cooks.
Henri Cartier-Bresson
If you like a wine that you drink, now with your phone, it’s so easy. Just take a picture of the label. You learn about it. You learn where it comes from and what the soil is like and why you like it. And that’ll lead you to another wine.
Padma Lakshmi
U.S. Government propaganda tries to give the impression that aerial bombardment achieves near-surgical accuracy, so that military targets can be destroyed with minimal effect on civilians. Technical documents give a different picture.
Noam Chomsky
Drawing a good picture is like telling a really good lie – the key is in the incidental detail.
Shaun Tan
I kept the same suit for six years and the same dialogue. They just changed the title of the picture and the leading lady.
Robert Mitchum
You always want to play for your national team whenever you can, so hopefully I can keep my form up and be in the picture.
Aaron Mooy
The economic picture in the States today doesn’t allow for jazz concerts in a tour fashion. People now are too used to the Festival, which gives them more names for the same price.
Norman Granz
It’s New York City, you want to be shown in Times Square. you want your picture there. You want those kind of things. To inspire people, that’s really what it’s about.
RJ Barrett
We also have to make sure our children know the history of women. Tell them the rotten truth: It wasn’t always possible for women to become doctors or managers or insurance people. Let them be armed with a true picture of the way we want it to be.
Anne Roiphe
Men are recognizing that they have been forced to conform to a very narrow and rather two-dimensional picture of maleness and manhood that they have never had the freedom to question.
Andrew Cohen
I am a huge admirer of Elizabeth I, and this intriguing biography gives a wonderful picture of the era.
Barbara Taylor Bradford
I know dock leaves pretty well, but I should not attempt to introduce them into a picture without having them before me.
John Constable
You go down some street – no doubt it’s there, and we have to do something about it, and our programmes are designed to do that – but if that’s a picture of Newcastle, it’s not the one I recognise and I bet none in the North East do either.
John Prescott
I think the motion picture industry is a stupid business and I despise acting the scenes in short snatches, one at a time. I hate this film work. I am disgusted with myself. On the stage I could never play a part unless I felt it with all my heart and soul.
Conrad Veidt
An actor would be foolish to do something that might hold up the picture, or more importantly incapacitate him. If an actor does do a stunt he needs to make sure a stunt man stands by to see that it’s done correctly.
Glenn Ford
I enjoy trying to figure out the best way to compliment the picture and not overpower it.
David Duchovny
Your purpose is to make your audience see what you saw, hear what you heard, feel what you felt. Relevant detail, couched in concrete, colorful language, is the best way to recreate the incident as it happened and to picture it for the audience.
Dale Carnegie
I landed a job with Roger Corman. The job was to write the English dialogue for a Russian science fiction picture. I didn’t speak any Russian. He didn’t care whether I could understand what they were saying; he wanted me to make up dialogue.
Francis Ford Coppola
I think my wife saw a picture of the rock group Journey, and they’re kind of aging, and the one guy had dyed blonde hair with black roots, and… my idea was to get a little earring, I wanted to have a dangling earring.
Fred Willard
Sliding headfirst is the safest way to get to the next base, I think, and the fastest. You don’t lose your momentum, and there’s one more important reason I slide headfirst, it gets my picture in the paper.
Pete Rose
My father? I never knew him. Never even seen a picture of him.
Eminem
I no longer look at my life and times in the motion picture industry as my career. I just look at it now as something I like and want to do.
Kurt Russell
There’s this index that tallies up how much your movies have made, and if they haven’t grossed a certain amount, then you’re not bankable. I know I’m not Will Smith but, you know, my ranking’s pretty low. The only studio picture I’ve done is ‘Zodiac,’ and that didn’t perform that well.
Chloe Sevigny
And they talk about their bona fide doctors. They have a list of doctors that signed affidavits from looking at a picture of Terry. That’s where they get their information from, by looking at a picture.
Michael Schiavo
I realize that I had the best of serious picture journalism.
Eve Arnold
Making a pretty picture, an image, is a completely different thing from acting to camera.
Gemma Chan
I really like science because it seems to be that place where you get the big picture, everything connects.
Richard Powers
They shaved my head, eyebrows. This is not a sci-fi picture. It’s not a fantasy picture. You’re dealing with something that’s supposed to be in reality. But we had a genius makeup artist.
Rick Yune
If the picture needs varnishing later, I allow a restorer to do that, if there’s any restoring necessary.
Edward Hopper
I knew when my career was over. In 1965 my baseball card came out with no picture.
Bob Uecker
Many of the articles printed over the last few months have ended up painting a picture of me that is more than a little distorted.
Phil Collins
I know I didn’t like that dress ’cause it didn’t fit but I thought it was a great picture. We weren’t the first band to do a picture in drag; The Rolling Stones were. If it was good enough for them then it had to be good enough for us.
Jimmy Carl Black
I associate my motion picture career more with being unhappy and scared, or being under the gun, than with anything pleasant.
Francis Ford Coppola
I took it upon myself to paint a better picture of rural life and what it is all about.
Bubba Sparxxx
For ninety per cent of those who view him from outside, the Christian God looks like a great landowner administering his estates, the world. Now this conventional picture, which is too well justified by appearances, corresponds in no way to the dogmatic basis or point of view of the Gospels.
Pierre Teilhard de Chardin
People have to understand what my game is. It’s not all about numbers. There’s a bigger picture here. I don’t create off the dribble. I rely on my teammates; my role is to set screens and get rebounds.
Rebecca Lobo
Everything in my career is my decision – every picture, every outfit. You get one chance at this, and I never saw myself as being a puppet.
Katherine Jenkins
I saw a picture of myself when I came out of the hospital. I didn’t recognize myself.
Amy Winehouse
There are always two people in every picture: the photographer and the viewer.
Ansel Adams
A small silence came between us, as precise as a picture hanging on the wall.
Jean Stafford
Our dog died from licking our wedding picture.
Phyllis Diller
The picture is a self-sufficient work of art. It is not connected to anything outside.
Kurt Schwitters
I’ve always put a lot of stock in aesthetics and visuals. I truly believe a picture is worth a thousand words and that fashion and glamour have the power to transport and transform someone.
Violet Chachki
I was astounded to learn that Alaskan caves might be hiding secrets about the earliest people ever to enter the Americas. That’s when I began to picture a story that would start with kayaking and lead into the caves.
Will Hobbs
I’m not someone who likes to have my picture taken, let alone see it plastered all over the place.
Laura Linney
By 1951, television had already made such inroads on the income garnered by motion picture companies that the Golden Era which had prevailed until then was beginning to disintegrate. And by 1953, it had come to an end. Hollywood was a dismal, tragic place.
Olivia De Havilland
I follow the director’s lead because they generally know more about the big picture, but I also trust that the director will give me enough freedom to play.
Yuri Lowenthal
If you paint in your mind a picture of bright and happy expectations, you put yourself into a condition conducive to your goal.
Norman Vincent Peale
Everything rational and sensible abandons me when I try to throw out photographs. Time and time again, I hold one over a wastebasket, and then find it impossible to release my fingers and let the picture drop and disappear.
Susan Orlean
I feel like if I can help somebody look at money differently or manage their finances differently or spend a little differently, then I feel like I’m doing my job. So I’ll try to help them see the bigger picture and think longevity versus the temporary spending that we’re kind of accustomed to.
Bobby Wagner
To say of a picture, as is often said in its praise, that it shows great and earnest labour, is to say that it is incomplete and unfit for view.
James Whistler
A picture is worth a thousand words. An interface is worth a thousand pictures.
Ben Shneiderman
