113210. My definition of cool is finding your own definition of cool and not necessarily taking your lead from what other people tell you or from what you might read from magazines or see on TV. – Wentworth Miller

113211. It was just expected that I would go to college. Both my parents are teachers and they tolerated acting, but I was going to go to a school of quality or bust. Which made my downshifting back to acting afterward a little difficult. – Wentworth Miller

113212. My encounters with racism are sort of second-hand situations where I might be standing around with a group of white friends and someone makes a comment that they wouldn’t make at my family reunion. – Wentworth Miller

113213. My father is black and my mother is white. Therefore, I could answer to either, which kind of makes me a racial Lone Ranger, caught between two communities. – Wentworth Miller

113214. In my career as an actor, there is a catchphrase that Scofield always says often in regards to his brother, ‘Have a little faith.’ In my own career as an actor, there were times when I was the only one who believed in myself in the face of the odds. – Wentworth Miller

113215. Nobody’s ever asked me to pay for a meal before I’ve eaten it, I’ve never been pulled over just because I was driving the wrong kind of car in the wrong kind of area at the wrong time of night. – Wentworth Miller

113216. Michael Scofield is someone everyone can relate to, but nobody would want to be in his shoes. – Wentworth Miller

113217. Prison Break is so far-fetched, I had to make viewers believe that Michael is capable of making the impossible possible. – Wentworth Miller

113218. There has to be a measure of faith. That’s what this business is all about: trusting in something that may never show up, that you have no concrete proof of. – Wentworth Miller

113219. There’ll be moments when I’m out in the prison yard, chatting with the cast and the crew, getting ready to shoot a scene. And then I’ll remember if I were actually an inmate, I’d only be out there an hour. The other 23 hours of the day, I’d be in my cell. It’s kind of a downer. – Wentworth Miller

113220. There’s so much we can’t express in our day-to-day interaction with people because it’s considered inappropriate. And acting is all about being inappropriate. – Wentworth Miller

113221. You’re confronted with the quandary: do I grind things to a halt? Ideally you would, but I have better things to do than educate people. – Wentworth Miller

113222. They told me at the end of that test that they wanted me to be a part of this project. I walked out and had a moment of clarity where I thought, not many people will ever have this moment. – Wentworth Miller

113223. To be honest, I find going out pretty scary and intimidating. Got all those people checking you out, with only one purpose: hooking up. I’m quite the dork, I’d rather sit home and play Scrabble. But that doesn’t get you a girl, does it? – Wentworth Miller

113224. If I were to wait only for roles that clarify my racial makeup, I’d be waiting for a very, very long time. – Wentworth Miller

113225. I have to laugh internally when I’m asked in interviews what nightspots I like to hit. I just don’t have answers… so sometimes I make them up. – Wentworth Miller

113226. When I got to college, acting suddenly seemed like a very risky proposition and all my friends were going to law school or med school or Wall Street. – Wentworth Miller

113227. You have to love what you do, and you have to need it like you need air. And there’s nothing else that would give me the same degree of satisfaction as acting, which is why I can’t walk away from it. – Wentworth Miller

113228. I hadn’t worked for a year when I had my Prison Break audition and it was the easiest audition I’ve ever had. I got the script on Friday, went to the audition on Monday and got the part on Tuesday. I was shooting the pilot a week later. I didn’t have time to be nervous – it happened so quickly. – Wentworth Miller

113229. Four months of preparation and about 12 hours of shooting turned into about 30 seconds of screen time. – Wentworth Miller

113230. Everyone has their challenges. – Wentworth Miller

113231. Confidence is at the root of so many attractive qualities, a sense of humor, a sense of style, a willingness to be who you are no matter what anyone else might think or say and it’s true, I do have a certain fondness for women that have dark hair. – Wentworth Miller

113232. A racial community provides not only a sense of identity, that luxury of looking into another’s face and seeing yourself reflected back, but a sense of security and support. – Wentworth Miller

113233. I want to aspire to something like what Denzel Washington does, which is try to find scripts written for white actors – or Jodie Foster, who reads scripts for male actors. – Wentworth Miller

113234. A great book provides escapism for me. The artistry and the creativity in a story are better than any drugs. – Wentworth Miller

113235. I’ve never seen American Idol but I am grateful to them. That show is one of Fox’s biggest moneymakers, and some of that money goes to pay for shows like Prison Break. Simon Cowell’s been signing my paychecks and for that I say thanks. – Wentworth Miller

113236. I broke my nose in gym when a ball hit me. I took a girl to her debutante ball the next week wearing a tux and a big, honking bandage. Not the romantic night she had in mind. – Wentworth Miller

113237. I feel extremely lucky, extremely grateful, and a little bittersweet, too. – Wentworth Miller

113238. I made a decision not to work out because I’m lazy and also, the character is not a superhero. I didn’t want him to be a buff guy with Jackie Chan moves because the point is he’s smarter than your average Joe. – Wentworth Miller

113239. I worked with the same trainer that worked with Denzel Washington in THe Hurricane. It was three months of training, five days a week, 4 to 5 hours a day. This was followed by a month of choreography. – Wentworth Miller

113240. I’m kind of a dork. I don’t have much game. I’m not particularly comfortable in bars or clubs. I much prefer being home playing Scrabble, having dinner with a couple friends, going to see a movie, or losing a whole weekend to Season 14 of Law and Order or The Simpsons. – Wentworth Miller

113241. I’m neither sexy nor a star. – Wentworth Miller

113242. I’m pretty much a couch potato. – Wentworth Miller

113243. I’m very pleased with being a part of the Bean Pole family. It’s a relationship that makes sense to me. I’m very pleased to have my name associated with Bean Pole Jeans. – Wentworth Miller

113244. I’ve been spared to a large extent the business end of the race stick. – Wentworth Miller

113245. I’ve been spoiled by this project. I was given the script and went in to read, realizing that this was a powerful story and one that wasn’t told very often. – Wentworth Miller

113246. I feel as though we’re living in a time where there is very little distinction paid between the personal and the professional. – Wentworth Miller

113247. Where I come from, deeds mean a lot more than words. – Zell Miller

113248. Cover this confirmation process with prayer. When they make it harder for us to pray, we just pray harder. – Zell Miller

113249. For more than 20 years, on every one of the great issues of freedom and security, John Kerry has been more wrong, more weak and more wobbly than any other national figure. – Zell Miller

113250. I can remember when Democrats believed that it was the duty of America to fight for freedom over tyranny. – Zell Miller

113251. John Kerry, who says he doesn’t like outsourcing, wants to outsource our national security. – Zell Miller

113252. Motivated more by partisan politics than by national security, today’s Democratic leaders see America as an occupier, not a liberator. And nothing makes this Marine madder than someone calling American troops occupiers rather than liberators. – Zell Miller

113253. My family is more important than my party. – Zell Miller

113254. Twenty years of votes can tell you much more about a man than twenty weeks of campaign rhetoric. Campaign talk tells people who you want them to think you are. How you vote tells people who you really are deep inside. – Zell Miller

113255. There is but one man to whom I am willing to entrust their future and that man’s name is George Bush. – Zell Miller

113256. However muted its present appearance may be, sexual dominion obtains nevertheless as perhaps the most pervasive ideology of our culture and provides its most fundamental concept of power. – Kate Millett

113257. We are women. We are a subject people who have inherited an alien culture. – Kate Millett

113258. Psychiatry causes so much death. – Kate Millett

113259. The concept of romantic love affords a means of emotional manipulation which the male is free to exploit, since love is the only circumstance in which the female is (ideologically) pardoned for sexual activity. – Kate Millett

113260. The great mass of women throughout history have been confined to the cultural level of animal life in providing the male with sexual outlet and exercising the animal functions of reproduction and care of the young. – Kate Millett

113262. This country is becoming increasingly authoritarian. It’s based on capital punishment. – Kate Millett

113263. Politics is repetition. It is not change. Change is something beyond what we call politics. Change is the essence politics is supposed to be the means to bring into being. – Kate Millett

113264. We are naive and moralistic women. We are human beings who find politics a blight upon the human condition. And do not know how one copes with it except through politics. – Kate Millett

113265. The involuntary character of psychiatric treatment is at odds with the spirit and ethics of medicine itself. – Kate Millett

113267. What is our freedom fight about? Is it about the liberation of children or just having sex with them? – Kate Millett

113268. What is the future of the woman’s movement? How in the hell do I know? I don’t run it. – Kate Millett

113269. What is the natural reaction when told you have a hopeless mental illness? That diagnosis does you in; that, and the humiliation of being there. I mean, the indignity you’re subjected to. My God. – Kate Millett

113270. With the first act of cruelty committed in the name of revolution, with the first murder, with the first purge and execution, we have lost the revolution. – Kate Millett

113271. You won’t do any more housework? Then you go to the bin. – Kate Millett

113272. This is how psychiatry has functioned-as a kind of property arm of the government, who can put you away if your husband doesn’t like you. – Kate Millett

113273. A sexual revolution begins with the emancipation of women, who are the chief victims of patriarchy, and also with the ending of homosexual oppression. – Kate Millett

113274. Aren’t women prudes if they don’t and prostitutes if they do? – Kate Millett

113275. As women, we’re probably more protective of children. Also, we’ve been minors all of our history. – Kate Millett

113276. They weren’t crazy. They were tired of being locked up. Even I could see that. – Kate Millett

113277. Everybody believes in psychiatry; it’s supposed to be for our own good. Let psychiatry prove that anybody has an illness, and I’d concede, but there is no physical proof. – Kate Millett

113278. My sister said, You’re making it hard for all us housewives in Nebraska. – Kate Millett

113279. I saw hell. The hospital had divided and conquered pretty successfully. – Kate Millett

113283. Isn’t privacy about keeping taboos in their place? – Kate Millett

113284. It was horrifying. You wouldn’t believe how people are treated there. You could see that these people had withdrawn so far that they just lived in their own minds. They did terrible things to themselves. – Kate Millett

113285. It would appear that love is dead. Or very likely in a bad way. – Kate Millett

113286. Many women do not recognize themselves as discriminated against; no better proof could be found of the totality of their conditioning. – Kate Millett

113287. Men and women were declared equal one morning and everybody could divorce each other by postcard. – Kate Millett

113288. In those days, when you got boxed, that was it. A lot of old people were there because somebody wanted the farm. It was about property. People are treated like property. – Kate Millett

113289. Because of our social circumstances, male and female are really two cultures and their life experiences are utterly different. – Kate Millett

113336. Early on in my career, I’d go into the makeup trailer, and they’d spend an hour doing my makeup, and I would hate it. I’d go into the bathroom, wash it off and start over again, which took an enormous amount of time. So I just started doing it myself. – Donna Mills

113350. I was brought up Catholic, and my family is still very religious. – Donna Mills

113351. I was always cutting dialogue out when we were rehearsing, and when I produced movies, too. I felt that people don’t say things in life – they act, they do things. I always wanted my characters doing, rather than saying what they were doing – which was redundant. – Donna Mills

113352. I thought it was very important that femininity wasn’t lost. – Donna Mills

113421. We are also fortunate in being in quite a sheltered environment, in terms of people moving on to do other things, because there are relatively few companies in Scotland that are looking for the skill set that we’ve developed. – David Milne

113644. I knew at the time that that wasn’t the part I would be doing, they just wanted a screentest so they could have a look at it to show to the directors and producers. Then they wrote a part for me or maybe they already had it in mind, I don’t know. – Dannii Minogue

113830. My father was the orphaned son of immigrants to the United States from Ireland. My father never knew his parents. His mother died – we’re not sure – either at or shortly after his birth, and he and all of his siblings were placed in orphanages in the Boston area. – George J. Mitchell

113848. Back then, I didn’t have a big organization around me. I was just a kid with a guitar, traveling around. My responsibility basically was to the art, and I had extra time on my hands. There is no extra time now. There isn’t enough time. – Joni Mitchell

113849. Buddy Holly and the early rock ‘n’ roll was no lighter than the way I play. It’s very minimal. – Joni Mitchell

113851. I can’t remember anything I ever wrote. – Joni Mitchell

113854. I learned a woman is never an old woman. – Joni Mitchell

113855. At the point where I’m trying to force something and it’s not happening, and I’m getting frustrated with, say, writing a poem, I can go and pick up the brushes and start painting. At the point where the painting seems to not be going anywhere, I go and pick up the guitar. – Joni Mitchell

113864. You could write a song about some kind of emotional problem you are having, but it would not be a good song, in my eyes, until it went through a period of sensitivity to a moment of clarity. Without that moment of clarity to contribute to the song, it’s just complaining. – Joni Mitchell

113873. The Beginning of Survival is my best album. I am very proud of it, and I am surprised at it, too. I thought some of Travelogue was a little heavy, but I don’t think this is heavy. – Joni Mitchell

113874. Sorrow is so easy to express and yet so hard to tell. – Joni Mitchell

113875. Nobody understood The Reoccurring Dream, but after September 11, when we were coerced to do a national duty and go out and shop, surely people could begin to see what I was getting at. – Joni Mitchell

113882. I was always the class clown. – Kel Mitchell

113883. I was a drama major also so it’s cool to cuss for meaning, but for no apparent reason, no. – Kel Mitchell

113884. I passed up a lot of work ’cause a lot of movies that may be out there right now I passed em up because there may have been a lot of cussin’ in ’em. – Kel Mitchell

113886. I did a lot of theater in the South side of Chicago. – Kel Mitchell

113892. If it wasn’t for my drama teacher, I wouldn’t be here right now. – Kel Mitchell

113945. We have a hunger of the mind which asks for knowledge of all around us, and the more we gain, the more is our desire; the more we see, the more we are capable of seeing. – Maria Mitchell

113954. I’m not working now, so I’m sort of facing the unknown. – Radha Mitchell

113955. It was kind of scary because working with Woody Allen becomes sort of a big deal in your mind. He directs in that Woody Allen character some of the time – he has these idiosyncrasies that are really charming and funny. – Radha Mitchell

113956. Life is neither comedy or tragedy, life is what you make of it. – Radha Mitchell

113957. New York in a way functions as another character within the story, as it does within most of Woody Allen’s stories. – Radha Mitchell

113958. Revenge is a way of life and definitely some thing that we identify with. We all feel cheated in some way about some thing and how nice it would be to do something about it. I mean ultimately it’s not the most Christian of sentiments. – Radha Mitchell

113959. I think my parents see my life now as very conservative. – Radha Mitchell

113960. So wearing a corset certainly changes your state of mind. – Radha Mitchell

113961. We don’t relate to her too much because you don’t want the heroic character to not be heroic. – Radha Mitchell

113962. To be honest, it’s easier for me to speak with an American accent. – Radha Mitchell

113963. We’ve become much more casual and much more relaxed in social interactions, where there was a formality and maybe a kind of respect at that time that doesn’t exist now. – Radha Mitchell

113964. Yeah I think Pitch Black was edgy, I think that’s what worked for our film. – Radha Mitchell

113965. So I was in America and I thought I’ll stick around while I’m here and just see what happens. The next film I did was High Art, so I guess it started with a sort of vague idea but really just a fantasy. – Radha Mitchell

113966. For me, even just being English was a whole sort of experience in as much as I’m Australian. – Radha Mitchell

113967. I think in this, definitely, because you are feeling how it felt to live in a completely different time. The mannerisms and the way that people behaved was quite different. – Radha Mitchell

113972. But in this case, he had my cell phone and my phone was ringing and I had just come back from Australia on the plane and I thought it was my mum and it was Woody Allen just checking to see if I wanted to be in his movie. – Radha Mitchell

113973. I didn’t even understand the whole idea of Hollywood. – Radha Mitchell

113974. I do Yoga. I’d like to say I do it every morning, but I don’t, I just don’t have the time. – Radha Mitchell

113975. I do, too, most recently while I was singing karaoke in some weird bar. – Radha Mitchell

113976. I don’t smoke and I don’t drink alcohol. – Radha Mitchell

113977. I guess when I first started speaking with an American accent, there’s a tendency to create a caricature of the accent because you just exaggerate the pieces that stand out to you. – Radha Mitchell

113978. I had a friend, and we always used to pretend to be twins. We had this fantasy about going to Hollywood together. We were about four. – Radha Mitchell

113979. I just don’t talk about who I’m going out with, that’s it. It’s an odd thing to sit around describing yourself to 10 different people every 5 minutes yet it’s kind of therapeutic in a way. – Radha Mitchell

113980. I mean normally you have your agent call the other agent and all the agents talk and then finally you get a phone call and you hear some misrepresentation of what someone else had to say. – Radha Mitchell

113981. I never wanted to be a movie star. – Radha Mitchell

113982. But I’m also a vegetarian so there’s another factor I guess. – Radha Mitchell

113983. I’ve always been interested in shaping music in odd ways, with odd riffs and that’s been probably something that I’ve continued on with my studies with improvisation as I’m working with people. – Roscoe Mitchell

113984. I remember times when the whole music scene was just flourishing. – Roscoe Mitchell

113985. I’m approaching a period in my life though where I’d like to be totally absorbed into music, doing concerts, writing something. Basically, that IS what I am doing. – Roscoe Mitchell

113986. You have to know composition to be a good improviser. – Roscoe Mitchell

113987. If you listen to nature, all the sounds are done in a confident way. I’m trying to do that. – Roscoe Mitchell

113988. I just consider myself a student, trying to learn more about it. – Roscoe Mitchell

113989. I felt that I had been influenced by being in the city enough and I wanted to go off by myself to see what was going on. I remember going out there and looking in the mirror and thinking I wasn’t anything. – Roscoe Mitchell

113990. I don’t like to box myself in when I’m composing. – Roscoe Mitchell

113991. I always try to think of a vocabulary to match different musical situations. – Roscoe Mitchell

113992. I like to hear melodies that go from one extreme to the next- saxophone to a bell to a whistle, for instance. – Roscoe Mitchell

113993. What I try to impart to a musician is to really try to practice the instrument in a really sincere way. Learn as much about music as you possibly can. Learn composition. Study to try to create compositions of your own and put your own personal touch on your music. – Roscoe Mitchell

113996. Comedy comes from conflict, from hatred. – Warren Mitchell

113998. I knew that I did not have to buy into society’s notion that I had to be handsome and healthy to be happy. I was in charge of my “spaceship” and it was my up, my down. I could choose to see this situation as a setback or as a starting point. I chose to begin life again. – Warren Mitchell

113999. In case of doubt, do a little more than you have to. – Warren Mitchell

114000. A divorce lawyer is a chameleon with a law book. – Marvin Mitchelson
