107312. The people at home don’t care what your problems are. They just know that you’re doing that show and you’re supposed to do the best you can do. It’s not a 9-5 type of job. I’ve considered myself very lucky to do that kind of work. – Wink Martindale

107654. A few years’ experience will convince us that those things which at the time they happened we regarded as our greatest misfortunes have proved our greatest blessings. – George Mason
107655. As much as I value an union of all the states, I would not admit the southern states into the union, unless they agreed to the discontinuance of this disgraceful trade, because it would bring weakness and not strength to the union. – George Mason

107661. I retired from public Business from a thorough Conviction that it was not in my Power to do any Good, and very much disgusted with Measures, which appeared to me inconsistent with common Policy and Justice. – George Mason
107662. In all our associations; in all our agreements let us never lose sight of this fundamental maxim – that all power was originally lodged in, and consequently is derived from, the people. – George Mason
107663. Slavery discourages arts and manufactures. – George Mason
107664. Taught to regard a part of our own Species in the most abject and contemptible Degree below us, we lose that Idea of the dignity of Man which the Hand of Nature had implanted in us, for great and useful purposes. – George Mason

107683. When you’re in the car, how well you do is down to you and you alone-no band, no management, no marketing. – Nick Mason
107684. I went to watch my father at Silverstone in the early 1950s, and I’ve still got the car he was in. – Nick Mason
107685. Rahm Emanuel is son of the devil’s spawn. He is an individual who would sell his mother to get a vote. He would strap his children to the front end of a steam locomotive. – Eric Massa

107687. You think that somehow they didn’t come after me to get rid of me because my vote is the deciding vote in the health care bill? Then, ladies and gentlemen, you live today in a world that is so innocent as to not understand what’s going on in Washington, D.C. – Eric Massa
107688. I have departed from this planet and I have left behind my poor earthly ones with their occupations which are as many as they are useless; at last I am living in the scintillating splendor of the stars, each of which used to seem to me as large as millions of suns. – Jules Massenet

107710. We have a very loyal fan base, the kind tat buys the record the day it comes out, sees every show, and that’s fantastic, but what about the people who would never hear about our band? – Pat Mastelotto
107711. We’re looking to help our guitar buddies do their thing while at the same time we try to create something we might enjoy listening to ourselves. If anything we are trying to develop a vocabulary so we can converse more fluidly. – Pat Mastelotto
107712. Not really, drums found me, I just liked music, all kinds of music. – Pat Mastelotto

107720. Crim has baggage: expectation, history, responsibility. – Pat Mastelotto
107721. If Bill jumps into something that relies on a lot of cymbals, I’ll jump into something that relies on a lot of skin sounds; if he goes into metal tones, I’ll go into wood, and so on. I basically play in his holes. – Pat Mastelotto
107722. Beware of the man who rises to power from one suspender. – Edgar Lee Masters
107723. How shall the soul of a man be larger than the life he has lived? – Edgar Lee Masters

107726. To put meaning in one’s life may end in madness, But life without meaning is the torture Of restlessness and vague desire-It is a boat longing for the sea and yet afraid. – Edgar Lee Masters
107727. When things don’t work well in the bedroom, they don’t work well in the living room either. – William Masters
107728. Science by itself has no moral dimension. But it does seek to establish truth. And upon this truth morality can be built. – William Masters

107732. Unless something real cool comes along, I will probably be doing features, so long as I can make a living doing that. Otherwise, I will do another show. – Danny Masterson
107733. I have done about 15 movies so far and am on my 5th season on That ’70s Show. – Danny Masterson
107734. I’d rather do movies ’cause I am better at movies, but I do shows ’cause the opportunities have come forward. – Danny Masterson
107735. I guess you should approach the roles differently when they’re actual people who have been, this is the difference. Getting the accent exact, or the hair exact is less important in a situation like this. – Mary Stuart Masterson
107736. What is more important is finding the soul of the character, and making sure it fits well into this story. And that it be dramatic and interesting and captivating, because these people weren’t entertainers, you know. – Mary Stuart Masterson
107737. 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
107738. You know, in playing a role like this, you really want to get it right, because this is a person who was revered by so many doctors, women doctors especially. – Mary Stuart Masterson
107739. On the other hand, there are only so many people who really knew how she was exactly, like what did her accent sound like, and the fact that she developed profound deafness when she was first running the Harriet Lane. – Mary Stuart Masterson
107740. Just the actual physical ability to hold four instruments simultaneously and do some of the things that Vivien was able to do is mind blowing to any surgeon. He never went to medical school and he became one of the great teachers of medicine himself, people are just amazed. – Mary Stuart Masterson
107741. In this case they’re doctors. But having passion for your work and to take risks in order to better human kind. That’s a pretty big theme. It’s pretty inspiring. – Mary Stuart Masterson
107742. I’d like to think Helen very much understood what it was to be disadvantaged in the medical field. And that that was something that she never let dictate her choices. – Mary Stuart Masterson
107743. I think she looked at Vivien the same way. Of course you can. You know. And, and yet with great respect, because she knew how hard it must have been. And that it was even harder for him, of course, than for her. – Mary Stuart Masterson
107744. And that’s what’s beautiful to me, is he did not become a victim of it, and he didn’t become a statistic, he just kind of kept on marching through, no matter what people threw at him. – Mary Stuart Masterson
107745. The fact that he didn’t get credit for a while is more the story of social injustice. But his own spirit wasn’t driven by that, and wasn’t dependent upon that. He just wished he had the cash to go to medical school. – Mary Stuart Masterson
107746. Some stars like to hide behind the whole idea of acting. But really good actors are not hiding at all. They’re not afraid to be disliked, to be a little unsavoury. – Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio
107747. Suddenly, I realised: this was what I wanted to do. I didn’t know how to do it; I just knew acting felt right. – Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio
107748. I’ve worked with leading men so worried about losing their charm that they were always winking to the audience. – Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio
107749. I’ve never found that it jars to go back and forth. – Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio
107750. I’m not looking at money, percentage points or grosses. This is my life, you know? To me, every day matters. – Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio
107751. I used to go home at night and just shake, because I had no idea that’s what acting was gonna be. – Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio
107752. I hate it when people say, Mary Elizabeth, this may be hell, but the movie is going to be sooo good. – Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio
107753. I do need to be told when I’m going wrong. No one’s acting can be an exact, 100 percent science. – Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio
107754. Hollywood is run by men who are big on vulnerability. – Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio
107755. As a measure of acting skills, film can be very deceptive. – Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio
107756. Domesticity has to mean nesting. Otherwise, six months go by, and you don’t know where your underwear is. – Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio
107757. Woman is also the element of conflict. – Marcello Mastroianni
107758. Woman is the sun, an extraordinary creature, one that makes the imagination gallop. – Marcello Mastroianni
107759. With whom do you argue? With a woman, of course. Not with a friend, because he accepted all your defects the moment he found you. Besides, woman is mother-have we forgotten? – Marcello Mastroianni
107760. I made theater very important in the beginning of my career. – Marcello Mastroianni
107761. Each year we look for a big name that is attractive to the public and pleasant for the girls. – Marcello Mastroianni
107762. Theater actors like to change character roles. They don’t like to always do the same thing. – Marcello Mastroianni
107763. Since the composer has said everything, if you discover everything, it will be enough and you will be a happy man. Don’t try to say it’s your taste, and because of that you are changing this or that. And I must say this respect is still there. – Kurt Masur
107764. An orchestra full of stars can be a disaster. – Kurt Masur
107765. Young conductors who are confident enough, they very often have success. – Kurt Masur
107766. You know as I started as a shy young conductor, I always wanted to cooperate. To build up the musicians. To help them to be better than without a conductor. And sometimes young talented musicians have to be encouraged. – Kurt Masur
107767. You have to change your mind with every orchestra because every orchestra has a different character. – Kurt Masur
107768. What I never overcame is a kind of shyness. – Kurt Masur
107769. Very often, if I know the orchestra doesn’t know a piece or it’s a new piece, I have main ideas about it. But then we start to play and I never talk about places where they played so beautiful and so clear in the beginning that there is nothing to say. – Kurt Masur
107770. Sometimes if you have very confident people, you have to tell them please, be polite, there are other players are good enough as you and you should never speak out of an orchestra. – Kurt Masur
107771. In South America, I heard the 8th Symphony of Beethoven. And the young conductor thought, Beethoven must be heroic. But this is piece which shouldn’t be heroic. And this was such a misunderstanding, such a deep misunderstanding. – Kurt Masur
107772. If you go to Japan for instance, you should know that they have a different way of playing Beethoven or Brahms. But if you play with them Mozart, Debussy, Mendelssohn, they have a wonderful light feeling for that. – Kurt Masur
107773. I wouldn’t say I’ve changed my mind. I changed some of my natural habits, some of my natural character. – Kurt Masur
107774. I worked on scores. I went to the musical library in Berlin which is very famous. I discovered that we had scores of Beethoven, printed scores of Beethoven, that are full of mistakes. Not the wrong or false notes, but the wrong dynamic, understandable things. – Kurt Masur
107775. At the age of 16, something happened with my finger and the doctor told me, you never can be a organist or pianist, so think about what you do with music. – Kurt Masur
107776. The message of music was also the first thing what I learned from my first teacher. She was an organist too and she was very devoted to what she played, so she had a respect for every piece and she felt that she is not allowed to add something of her own. – Kurt Masur
107777. I was different from most young conductors today. – Kurt Masur
107778. And if you are strong enough, then you can grow as a conductor more and more. – Kurt Masur
107779. As I came to New York, it was for me a new beginning. To discover what people are living here. What do they need, what do they expect, what would they like to be the image and the performance of the New York Philharmonic? – Kurt Masur
107780. And I always tried to be not a star. To be someone who people like to talk to. – Kurt Masur
107781. Even I had no opportunity to conduct very many concerts after World War II. – Kurt Masur
107782. And at the same time, I had my very first concert at the age of 16. I hadn’t heard a symphony orchestra before, and I was so deeply impressed I said I have to be a conductor. – Kurt Masur
107783. Even my family laughed at me because they thought this young guy who’s always stuttering in front of other people should be in front of 100 musicians and talk to them and leading them. – Kurt Masur
107784. I always imagined that to bring an orchestra to play together is not enough for a conductor. – Kurt Masur
107785. I believe so, but at first he must know. He must know in which spirit Beethoven has composed this piece. He must try to study that. And he must find out in which station of life of Beethoven he did. – Kurt Masur
107786. I can go in front of an orchestra. I can go in front of an audience. But if you see me walking through an audience in the reception or through a lot of people, I’m still shy. – Kurt Masur
107787. And to understand this, I think this is a most important point where I would like always to be understood what we do with the New York Philharmonic. That the meaning of the music is number one. – Kurt Masur
107788. You have to give access to people with disabilities but there is no requirement to hire them. What I mean by affirmative obligation is that producers must take the necessary steps to include opportunities for people with disabilities and a vast majority of them do. – Richard Masur
107789. No one will ever argue that someone could have played Helen Keller better than Patty Duke. It was an incredibly demanding role and I don’t think anyone can argue that it was a false performance. – Richard Masur
107790. There is no relation to sound for deaf people. It is a totally different mental process. – Richard Masur
107791. The deaf community is in a favorable position because they have a national theatre and training groups of their own to get them started. Deaf actors have often acquired very valuable skills and experience before they get their break. – Richard Masur
107792. Spelling is very easy to practice yourself whereas signing is not. So I would sit on the subway riding around New York and I would spell whatever I would see. When I watched a movie I would spell words as they came up. – Richard Masur
107793. Most profoundly deaf people have speech that is very difficult to understand. – Richard Masur
107794. I know deaf people. I have discussed the issues with them I’ve also thought about them a lot so I have some insights that go a little further than people who haven’t had contact with the deaf community. – Richard Masur
107795. I actually then went on to direct an after-school special where one of the characters was deaf. They hired me without even knowing I had any connection to the community. – Richard Masur
107796. For example, the first time McDonald’s put a deaf person in a commercial they saw a jump in sales. I think that happens with other kinds of disabilities and products and that is something that is being realized more and more. – Richard Masur
107797. Being an actor myself I realize that all actors believe they are qualified to play any role. If you showed me a script with a black woman character I would tell you that I could do it. That is what we do. We act as if we are someone else. – Richard Masur
107798. You have to give people the opportunity to prove themselves. – Richard Masur
107799. But people who think they can project themselves into deafness are mistaken because you can’t. And I’m not talking about imagining what a deaf person’s whole life is like I even mean just realizing what it is like for an instant. – Richard Masur
107800. I was a comfort factor. I’m not a hustler. – Mary Matalin
107801. No, no, no. Dick Cheney forbade me to waste time on his image. I would have liked to have done more. – Mary Matalin

107803. Follow me if I advance, kill me if I retreat, avenge me if I die. – Mary Matalin
107804. I am not a total, complete nitwit when it comes to selling books. I promise you there will be unexpected things. Some of them I don’t know yet. She’s writing it all herself. – Mary Matalin
107805. But especially if you have the wrong people within your circle. Truthfully, at the end of the day, no one cares about you in this business whether they are your agent or your manager or your publicist. – Heather Matarazzo
107806. I think it magnified it. For me, I wasn’t sheltered so I think it was magnified. Especially when you’re a teenager and you go to high school and you’re in the business and you are known. – Heather Matarazzo
107807. It’s good to get out of the closet and talk about it and find out other people’s views. – Heather Matarazzo
107808. There’s another girl who was going to play Hilary Faye and luckily she wound up not doing it. – Heather Matarazzo
107809. A woman is a citizen who works for Mexico. We must not treat her differently from a man, except to honor her more. – Adolfo Lopez Mateos
107810. A Good School deserves to be call’d, the very Salt of the Town, that hath it. – Cotton Mather

107816. Families are the Nurseries of all Societies; and the First combinations of mankind. – Cotton Mather
107817. I had a very special family life. My mother and father made sure when we were home, we were part of the family, not a TV star. And the other thing: my father was fully employed while I was doing the series. – Jerry Mathers
107818. I have several computer companies. One of them I have a program for wide-format printing. I have a beauty program. So I have several different programs that I own for printing. – Jerry Mathers
107819. I was the center square on Hollywood Squares for about fifteen weeks. – Jerry Mathers

107821. First and foremost, I would like to start off by saying that just because my husband is an entertainer, that does not mean that our personal business is for everyone’s entertainment purposes. – Kim Mathers
107822. My husband came up to Hot Rocks to check up on me, why is still unknown to me because if I was to cheat on him it wouldn’t be in a neighborhood bar where he knows I am. – Kim Mathers
107823. For if you do, then shouldn’t we blame the whole fraternity system? And if the whole fraternity system is guilty, then isn’t this an indictment of our educational institutions in general? I put it to you, Greg – isn’t this an indictment of our entire American society? – Tim Matheson
107824. I like real stories. – Tim Matheson
107825. With comedy, you really want to work things out beforehand. – Tim Matheson

107834. My Life in CIA is the first time that I’ve ever written a story in my own name. – Harry Mathews
107835. Well, I had this little notion – I started writing when I was eleven, writing poetry. I was passionately addicted to it; it was my great refuge through adolescence. – Harry Mathews
107836. Well, the great thing for me about poetry is that in good poems the dislocation of words, that is to say, the distance between what they say they’re saying and what they are actually saying is at its greatest. – Harry Mathews
107837. What I wanted to do and what I needed to do was something entirely different, and through reading Roussel I learned that I could do what I wanted all on my own and that I didn’t have to rely on what had actually happened in my somewhat limited life and reading. – Harry Mathews
107838. It’s true, I had an extremely delicious life, but that was my life at home, and perhaps because I was only a child, or for whatever reasons, I found the company of others, especially other boys, quite terrifying and upsetting. – Harry Mathews
107839. Well, my relationship to America at the time I left was very limited. – Harry Mathews

107842. My next project is to get back to that. Actually, to learn how to write poetry. I’m not kidding. – Harry Mathews
107843. After the navy, I transferred to Harvard and finished there. I was there the spring term of 1951 and I stayed through the summer term and a whole other year, so I was able to do two years in a little less than a year and a half. – Harry Mathews
107844. And I finished college because I thought how much it would upset my parents if I didn’t. – Harry Mathews
107845. I also had this mistaken dream, fantasy really – perhaps because I’m good at languages – of being able in both Italy and France to become someone else through my fluency in the language. – Harry Mathews

107847. I love teaching. – Harry Mathews
107848. I think situations are more important than plot and character. – Harry Mathews

107855. If you’ve ever been around a group of actors, you’ve noticed, no doubt, that they can talk of nothing else under the sun but acting. It’s exactly the same way with baseball players. Your heart must be in your work. – Christy Mathewson
107856. You can learn little from victory. You can learn everything from defeat. – Christy Mathewson
107857. Many baseball fans look upon an umpire as a sort of necessary evil to the luxury of baseball, like the odor that follows an automobile. – Christy Mathewson
107858. Anybody’s best pitch is the one the batters ain’t hitting that day. – Christy Mathewson
107859. A boy cannot begin playing ball too early. I might almost say that while he is still creeping on all fours he should have a bouncing rubber ball. – Christy Mathewson
107860. A pitcher is not a ballplayer. – Christy Mathewson
107861. I owe everything I have to them when I’m out there on the mound. But I owe the fans nothing and they owe me nothing when I am not pitching. – Christy Mathewson
107862. Music is the best way for me to say I love you. – Mireille Mathieu
107863. My songs always speak of love, that’s the way I like them. – Mireille Mathieu

107867. There’s the fatigue that you have to forget about, because the red curtain still has to rise. – Mireille Mathieu
107868. It’s very much like opera singers. They do the same thing. The first thing in the morning and the last thing at night, the thing they think about is their voice and how to take care of it. – Johnny Mathis
107869. Even though there’s no forum for me on the radio for the kind of music I sing anymore, I am still excited about having a career where I can sing the best music in the world, and people will come and hear me because of the hit records I’ve had in the past. – Johnny Mathis
107870. When you do interviews, you have to talk about yourself – and I like to find out about other people. I am so familiar with everything that I do. I’ve said it over and over again. I think it is boring. – Johnny Mathis
107871. When I was 12 and started to take singing lessons from a woman, she told me that I would probably spend the rest of my life taking care of my voice. – Johnny Mathis
107872. When I do an album I try to find a producer that’s excited about something that they want me to sing, and I check with the record company to find out what they think they can sell – which is their No. 1 priority. – Johnny Mathis
107873. Sometimes being famous gets in the way of doing what you want to do. – Johnny Mathis
107874. My favorite singer to this day is Nat King Cole. I’ve tried to emulate his phrasing. It is so absolutely beautiful to listen to his lovely voice. – Johnny Mathis

107876. I’m just one of the lucky people. I have no other reason for my longevity. – Johnny Mathis
107877. I think there are a lot of people who really want to be famous, they really do. I don’t. It sort of gets in the way of the everyday things that I do. – Johnny Mathis
107878. I really, really enjoy music and that’s why I do what I do. – Johnny Mathis
107879. I also met, early on Ella Fitzgerald. Her songbooks are some of the most amazing bodies of work. – Johnny Mathis
107880. It’s just that some people are lucky and people still seem to enjoy the music. – Johnny Mathis
107881. But I am very grateful for my success, and with success, of course, comes a whole lot of celebrity. – Johnny Mathis

107883. You really have to create everything in order to come away with a full human being on screen. – Samantha Mathis
107884. Jazz is rhythm and meaning. – Henri Matisse

107891. In the beginning you must subject yourself to the influence of nature. You must be able to walk firmly on the ground before you start walking on a tightrope. – Henri Matisse
107892. My curves are not crazy. – Henri Matisse
107893. There are always flowers for those who want to see them. – Henri Matisse
107894. There is nothing more difficult for a truly creative painter than to paint a rose, because before he can do so he has first to forget all the roses that were ever painted. – Henri Matisse
107895. What I dream of is an art of balance, of purity and serenity devoid of troubling or depressing subject matter – a soothing, calming influence on the mind, rather like a good armchair which provides relaxation from physical fatigue. – Henri Matisse
107896. With color one obtains an energy that seems to stem from witchcraft. – Henri Matisse
107897. Work cures everything. – Henri Matisse
107898. A young woman has young claws, well sharpened. If she has character, that is. And if she hasn’t so much the worse for you. – Henri Matisse
107899. I’m growing old, I delight in the past. – Henri Matisse
107900. Time extracts various values from a painter’s work. When these values are exhausted the pictures are forgotten, and the more a picture has to give, the greater it is. – Henri Matisse
107901. Cutting into color reminds me of the sculptor’s direct carving. – Henri Matisse
107902. An artist must possess Nature. He must identify himself with her rhythm, by efforts that will prepare the mastery which will later enable him to express himself in his own language. – Henri Matisse
107903. I wouldn’t mind turning into a vermilion goldfish. – Henri Matisse
107904. A picture must possess a real power to generate light and for a long time now I’ve been conscious of expressing myself through light or rather in light. – Henri Matisse
107905. Creativity takes courage. – Henri Matisse
107906. Derive happiness in oneself from a good day’s work, from illuminating the fog that surrounds us. – Henri Matisse
107907. Drawing is like making an expressive gesture with the advantage of permanence. – Henri Matisse
107908. Exactitude is not truth. – Henri Matisse
107909. I have been no more than a medium, as it were. – Henri Matisse
107910. An artist must never be a prisoner. Prisoner? An artist should never be a prisoner of himself, prisoner of style, prisoner of reputation, prisoner of success, etc. – Henri Matisse
107911. I would like to recapture that freshness of vision which is characteristic of extreme youth when all the world is new to it. – Henri Matisse
107912. He who loves, flies, runs, and rejoices; he is free and nothing holds him back. – Henri Matisse
107913. I have always tried to hide my efforts and wished my works to have a light joyousness of springtime which never lets anyone suspect the labors it has cost me. – Henri Matisse
107914. I don’t paint things. I only paint the difference between things. – Henri Matisse
107915. I don’t know whether I believe in God or not. I think, really, I’m some sort of Buddhist. But the essential thing is to put oneself in a frame of mind which is close to that of prayer. – Henri Matisse
107916. I do not literally paint that table, but the emotion it produces upon me. – Henri Matisse
107917. The hearing aids are very helpful for speech reading. Without the hearing aids, my voice becomes very loud, and I cannot control the quality of my voice. – Marlee Matlin
107918. I’ve always wanted to write a book relating my experiences growing up as a deaf child in Chicago. Contrary to what people might think, it wasn’t all about hearing aids and speech classes or frustrations. – Marlee Matlin
107919. If I were offered a cochlear implant today, I would prefer not to have one. But that’s not a statement about hearing aids or cochlear implants. It’s about who you are. – Marlee Matlin
107920. It seems we’re always in transition and that it’s more about trends than it is about what’s meaningful. – Marlee Matlin
107921. It was ability that mattered, not disability, which is a word I’m not crazy about using. – Marlee Matlin
107922. Maybe my way of communicating through sign made me more in tune with my body and how it moved. Who knows? I just know when I saw a stage for the first time, I wanted to be on it. – Marlee Matlin
107923. The best feeling in the world is when your child comes up to you and lays their head in your lap, for no other reason but just because. I can’t wait to have more. – Marlee Matlin
107924. I’ve been around since I was 19, I won the Oscar when I was 21, I’ve had a couple of TV series. I’ve continued to work despite the predictions of some naysayers. – Marlee Matlin
107925. The only thing I can’t do is hear. I can drive, I have a life with four kids, I work on TV, I do movies, so the deafness question, is it that they want to know because, what? Not sure. – Marlee Matlin
107926. There is nothing better than being a parent. It is the most challenging job one could ever ask for. I love being a mom and I love being a friend to my children as well. – Marlee Matlin
107927. Watch me when people say deaf and dumb, or deaf mute, and I give them a look like you might get if you called Denzel Washington the wrong name. – Marlee Matlin
107928. What parent has it easy? I just never make the difficulty of it an obstacle. I just do it. – Marlee Matlin
107929. What the Bleep Do We Know was not written with a deaf person in mind, but when they met me, it clicked with them to have me in it. But that happens with a lot of actors in Hollywood, not just with me. – Marlee Matlin
107930. When I was 13, I told Henry Winkler I wanted to act. He said, Do it and don’t let anyone stand in your way. His validation just made it all the more true. I haven’t stopped thanking him since. – Marlee Matlin
107931. Every one of us is different in some way, but for those of us who are more different, we have to put more effort into convincing the less different that we can do the same thing they can, just differently. – Marlee Matlin
107932. When it comes down to it, it’s about who you know, and who’s a fan. It’s about whether you’re the right age, whether you’re hot or not, whether the studio is into you or not. – Marlee Matlin
107933. Everybody’s got a job to do, and I do mine as best I can. – Marlee Matlin
107934. I’m gonna be unemployed when people read this. Ha. – Marlee Matlin
107935. Hollywood embraced me in the late ’80s because there was a good project I was in and it was different. Nowadays, it’s about corporate mentality, box office, youth. – Marlee Matlin
107936. At some point we have to stop and say, There’s Marlee, not, There’s the deaf actress. – Marlee Matlin
107937. How many deaf people do you know in real life? Unless they live in a cave, or are 14, which seems to be true for most people in this business, what could I possibly tell them that they don’t already know? – Marlee Matlin
107938. I am writing my second novel for children for Simon and Schuster. – Marlee Matlin
107939. I can hear you and I can watch your mouth move, and then I put together the sounds and the visual image, and I can understand the words as I integrate the two signals. – Marlee Matlin
107940. I find the mantle of, she works hard for the money, or, she’s overcome so many obstacles a bit overused. – Marlee Matlin
107941. I have a great husband, great parents and in-laws, and I have help with a nanny. It’s not easy, but there are others who do it every day and don’t have a high-profile job as I do. – Marlee Matlin
107942. I have made the choices that work best for me. I know I cannot please everyone, and that’s fine. – Marlee Matlin
107943. I learned to speak first, and then to sign. I have never really known what it was like to hear, so I can’t compare hearing aids to normal hearing. – Marlee Matlin
107944. I listen to Billy Joel. He is fabulous. I saw him with Elton John when they toured together, it was so great. – Marlee Matlin
107945. I’m different, and my manner invites questions. I’m never afraid to answer. – Marlee Matlin
107946. I was the youngest and only girl in a family of two older brothers. – Marlee Matlin
107947. I got a good handshake. A lot of executives tell me I have the best handshake in Hollywood. – Marlee Matlin
107948. Differences are scarier now. The dollar isn’t so guaranteed if you don’t follow what they see as the norm. But I don’t moan about it. I just keep working. – Marlee Matlin
107949. I think a commission set up to examine slavery and the consequences of it, would probably be a very fruitful, important dialogue for the United States to be involved in. – Bob Matsui
107950. Hopefully as a country, that we learn from our mistakes of the past. – Robert Matsui
107951. These are challenging times for all Americans. We face the specter of war abroad and a steady stream of bad economic news at home. – Robert Matsui
107952. I was six months old at the time that I was taken, with my mother and father, from Sacramento, California, and placed in internment camps in the United States. – Robert Matsui
107953. I have to say that it’s very few countries that are willing to look back at its past and apologize for its act, or make amends for its act, as the United States had one. – Robert Matsui
107954. I was never given a trial. I never went before any magistrate, nor did my parents. To this day, I do not know what the charges that were lodged against me or my deceased parents at this time. – Robert Matsui
107955. Most of the tasks we do are for humans. For example, a tax calculation is counting numbers so the government can pull money out from my wallet, but government consists of humans. – Yukihiro Matsumoto
107956. Because of the Turing completeness theory, everything one Turing-complete language can do can theoretically be done by another Turing-complete language, but at a different cost. You can do everything in assembler, but no one wants to program in assembler anymore. – Yukihiro Matsumoto
107957. You want to enjoy life, don’t you? If you get your job done quickly and your job is fun, that’s good isn’t it? That’s the purpose of life, partly. Your life is better. – Yukihiro Matsumoto
107958. The orthogonal features, when combined, can explode into complexity. – Yukihiro Matsumoto
107959. Ruby inherited the Perl philosophy of having more than one way to do the same thing. I inherited that philosophy from Larry Wall, who is my hero actually. I want to make Ruby users free. I want to give them the freedom to choose. – Yukihiro Matsumoto
107960. People are different. People choose different criteria. But if there is a better way among many alternatives, I want to encourage that way by making it comfortable. So that’s what I’ve tried to do. – Yukihiro Matsumoto
107961. I didn’t work hard to make Ruby perfect for everyone, because you feel differently from me. No language can be perfect for everyone. I tried to make Ruby perfect for me, but maybe it’s not perfect for you. The perfect language for Guido van Rossum is probably Python. – Yukihiro Matsumoto
107962. From the viewpoint of what you can do, therefore, languages do differ – but the differences are limited. For example, Python and Ruby provide almost the same power to the programmer. – Yukihiro Matsumoto
107963. Actually, I didn’t make the claim that Ruby follows the principle of least surprise. Someone felt the design of Ruby follows that philosophy, so they started saying that. I didn’t bring that up, actually. – Yukihiro Matsumoto
107964. In our daily lives as programmers, we process text strings a lot. So I tried to work hard on text processing, namely the string class and regular expressions. Regular expressions are built into the language and are very tuned up for use. – Yukihiro Matsumoto
107965. I believe consistency and orthogonality are tools of design, not the primary goal in design. – Yukihiro Matsumoto
107966. No matter how deep a study you make. What you really have to rely on is your own intuition and when it comes down to it, you really don’t know what’s going to happen until you do it. – Konosuke Matsushita
107967. You have to write badly to write at all. If it’s crappy, I will rewrite it later. But it will be mine. You can hear the resonance of an artist who goes into herself. – Kathy Mattea
107968. So I really did stop and change what I saw I was about, and really try to put that principle into play as the center of everything – my friendships, my marriage, my career, my family, my way of being in the world. And that changed everything for me. – Kathy Mattea
107969. That’s the great paradox of living on this earth, that in the midst of great pain you can have great joy as well. If we didn’t have those things we’d just be numb. – Kathy Mattea
107970. There’s nothing more fun than sitting in a circle playing with people who are really into it. – Kathy Mattea
107971. We rob ourselves of so much by focusing on the wrong stuff. And the ability to get into the moment and deal with what is, that’s the real opportunity. – Kathy Mattea
107972. What is hard to remember when you’re in the middle of it is that when you get through to the other side, you always walk away with a gift. If you can stand in there and not walk away from it, you get transformed by it. – Kathy Mattea
107973. When you keep the caliber of musicians very high in the band, people are going to come and go. Some of them will be people who have to try various things, it’s natural. – Kathy Mattea
107974. Whenever someone leaves, the next person that gets pulled in is somebody with similar values. – Kathy Mattea
107975. You have to listen to what resonates within your own gut. You find your direction there. Your voice comes out. – Kathy Mattea
107976. You know, your speaking voice comes back, but your singing voice you use in a different way. – Kathy Mattea
107977. Your voice is vibrant for only a certain part of your life. There are some records I’ve always wanted to make, and I don’t know if I want to waste this time beating on the door of the charts. – Kathy Mattea
107978. I really think that’s what music and art is about. It’s another way to connect to the divine. It’s a real pure way of touching that deeper reality beneath our life. – Kathy Mattea
107979. So I had to just kind of go back to the hotel, take a shower, sit quiet, dig down deep, warm up, and allow myself to move into some kind of zone. And then I remembered that a lot of my favorite musical moments are not about perfection. – Kathy Mattea
107980. You find yourself in this place where you really get to find out what you’re made of, and what I found was that when I was at my time of greatest need, there were people who appeared in my life, and helped me through it. – Kathy Mattea
107981. I can’t even say I’ve begun yet, but I’m trying on the idea that there is a book in my future. – Kathy Mattea
107982. I’ve come to understand my role. On some level, I provide the context for them to shine. I also know my role is the steward of the songs, and the center point, the artist that the stuff all revolves around. But I really try to honor that. – Kathy Mattea
107983. And in fact, I think the more we start to worship perfection the more soul leaks out of art. – Kathy Mattea
107984. Anyway, our family went into complete crisis mode. I have two older brothers, and we rallied as a family. – Kathy Mattea
107985. So all of these things are going on that make you wake up and realize you are a mortal person. You can choose to cruise through your life, but if you do, you’re going to open your eyes at some point, and it’s gone. – Kathy Mattea
107986. Chocolate’s okay, but I prefer a really intense fruit taste. You know when a peach is absolutely perfect… it’s sublime. I’d like to capture that and then use it in a dessert. – Kathy Mattea
107987. I don’t live in as much fear as I used to. I’m not afraid of the music business. Life is too damn short. I know what’s important, and the tasks are very clear. – Kathy Mattea
107988. I guess the biggest thing is that I committed to a spiritual center before I do anything else. And I put some daily things in my life into practice and I maintain that, to make sure that I don’t drop the ball. – Kathy Mattea
107989. I jump into the process, and the record begins to gel at some point. Then I begin to get a picture of where I’m going. But it’s not always something I know on the front-end. – Kathy Mattea
107990. I would step into a place of being lined up with a sense of purpose and my inner compass, and everything was going in the same direction. Then I’d get lazy and get off the track. And then things would start to fall apart, and I’d back up and get it together again. – Kathy Mattea
107991. A gourmet meal without a glass of wine just seems tragic to me somehow. – Kathy Mattea
107992. If you say that you’re all about a certain something, and look back and see that the choices that you’ve made don’t reflect that, then there’s something for you to look at. – Kathy Mattea
107993. Or if I have my head in the results, I can’t work with what I have, because I’m trying to force something to happen. And with singing, any time you force it, you tighten up. If you tighten up, you’re screwed, nothing will work. – Kathy Mattea
107994. Can you blame them? We have to filter so much information these days. But it does make it difficult for an artist. I’m 46 years old now. I’ve had a lot of life experience and my voice has changed. People who expect the same old me are bound to be disappointed. – Kathy Mattea
107995. I like real problems, the human condition – twisted, darker stuff. – Drea De Matteo
107996. I like to make everything my friends are involved in a little better. I should have just become a manager. – Drea De Matteo
107997. I’m tired of the industry, tired of playing the whole game – the dressing up, the red carpet. I hate talking about myself. – Drea De Matteo
107998. It’s very easy to live here. You’re anonymous here. Nobody knows who you are. – Walter Matthau
107999. We’re writing a book together. She just finished one. Did you read it? Among the Porcupines? – Walter Matthau
108000. My doctor gave me six months to live, but when I couldn’t pay the bill he gave me six months more. – Walter Matthau
