155418. There’s a lot of things that go on when you’re on tour that cannot be controlled. I’m not even talking about myself, but of course there’s sexual activity and drugs, fighting and language; it is certainly not a place to raise a family. – Peter Steele

155419. Technically, at this point we’re no longer with the label; we’ve fulfilled our contract. – Peter Steele

155452. It is to be noted that when any part of this paper appears dull there is a design in it. – Richard Steele

155456. The fool within himself is the object of pity, until he is flattered. – Richard Steele

155457. There’s just such a premium on hurrying, and the camera is the be all and end all, and the actors had better hurry up and get it right and get it done. – Mary Steenburgen

155458. There’s a certain arrogance to an actor who will look at a script and feel like, because the words are simple, maybe they can paraphrase it and make it better. – Mary Steenburgen

155459. It’s usually, my people speak to your people and then they speak around each other and trade calls for weeks. – Mary Steenburgen

155460. I was this person with this weird last name from New York that no one had ever heard of. But my screen test I guess, according to him, was the best. So I got the part, which was incredible. – Mary Steenburgen

155461. I take the fact that films cost a lot of money very seriously, but once in a while to have somebody say, This is a big scene, take your time with it, is important. That’s John Sayles. – Mary Steenburgen

155465. It was a few days later I came out to Hollywood for a screen test, and so did a lot of other people. So, I really didn’t think I would get it. I was definitely the one that was least likely to get it, because everyone else was an already established star. – Mary Steenburgen

155466. I’d already made the decision before I’d even read it-just because it was John Sayles. Then when I read it, the themes were actually themes that have been a big part of my life. – Mary Steenburgen

155469. I try not to be but I’m super-neurotic about diet. I’m neurotic about trying not to be neurotic! I’m like every other girl. I have to try really hard my whole life to try to be fit. And I’m super-vain. And I want to wear cute clothes. – Gwen Stefani

155470. My parents always pushed creativity on us, but they made it seem like the fun thing to do. – Gwen Stefani

155473. I’m vain enough to want do a movie again, but right now more roles are the last thing on my list. – Gwen Stefani

155474. I’m lucky to not have a real job, to be able to express myself, be creative and be relevant. – Gwen Stefani

155475. I’m just, like, totally normal. The fact that any of this has happened, that we’re sitting here at the Beverly Hills Hotel just gets me going, like, ‘What?’ – Gwen Stefani

155476. I’d like to have no rules and eat what I want, but I’ve learned over the years that I’m so disappointed when I can’t wear the clothes I want to wear. – Gwen Stefani

155482. I think I’ve been able to fool a lot of people because I know I’m a dork. I’m a geek. – Gwen Stefani

155483. 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

155484. I imagine my children are going to save me from my vanity and be my passion and fill whatever fears I have of the amazing time I’m having right now being gone. – Gwen Stefani

155485. I don’t mean this in a stuck-up way, but I needed an attitude song. – Gwen Stefani

155486. I don’t fight with people – like, I can barely fight with my husband because I’ll just start crying instead. – Gwen Stefani

155487. Being in a band you can wear whatever you want – it’s like an excuse for halloween everyday. – Gwen Stefani

155488. At first it was my brother’s songwriting and I was just doing what everyone told me. – Gwen Stefani

155489. At a certain point I’m going to want to have a family. – Gwen Stefani

155490. As a famous person you think how you’re gonna end it, get away and have a normal life. – Gwen Stefani

155491. And if I let myself down, appear on stage when I’m not looking my best, it’s not fun for me. I just beat myself up about it. – Gwen Stefani

155492. I was thinking that when I have children, that I should always dress as a character for them, so they think their mom is Alice in Wonderland or Cinderella. – Gwen Stefani

155493. Writing songs is super intimate. It’s a bit like getting naked. – Gwen Stefani

155494. You know, I was chubby when I was a little girl. And I have all those issues everyone else has. But I try not to. And I’ve learned over the years that it’s such a waste of time. And people like me whether I’m a little bit fatter or not. – Gwen Stefani

155495. You’re always tellin’ me to go out more, Go ahead, get out and see the world, But then I think, why should I? I’d rather stay home and cry. – Gwen Stefani

155496. Now I’m a wife and a mother of two. It’s a really different role. I always referred to No Doubt as a marriage, because that’s what it’s like to be together for so long and go through what we’ve been through. I can’t really have that relationship with them anymore. – Gwen Stefani

155497. Hitch was interested in what I had to offer, like one of my background ideas for Norman’s upbringing. – Joseph Stefano

155498. I didn’t know it at the time, but Hitch didn’t want to talk to me – he hated meeting with people he might have to reject. As it turned out, someone, maybe his agent, insisted that he interview me. – Joseph Stefano

155499. We were mainly concerned about nudity – how much could be shown in 1959 and how much would convey, without being gratuitous, the terror of being attacked naked and wet. – Joseph Stefano

155500. We all go a little mad sometimes. – Joseph Stefano

155501. It’s not like the original movie where you thought it was the mother committing the murders, but it was actually the son. I don’t think it’s possible to create the kind of shock today that we created in 1959. And I don’t even want to try. – Joseph Stefano

155502. Hitch suggested a name actress to play Marion because the bigger the star the more unbelievable it would be that we would kill her. – Joseph Stefano

155504. A boy’s best friend is his mother. – Joseph Stefano

155505. Psycho 11 and III say, in effect, there’s no way to survive with a psychological problem. If you’ve got it, the law can keep you locked up because there’s no chance for cure. – Joseph Stefano

155506. The philosophers of the Middle Ages demonstrated both that the Earth did not exist and also that it was flat. Today they are still arguing about whether the world exists, but they no longer dispute about whether it is flat. – Vilhjalmur Stefansson

155523. No photographer is as good as the simplest camera. – Edward Steichen

155524. Photography is a major force in explaining man to man. – Edward Steichen

155525. The mission of photography is to explain man to man and each to himself. And that is the most complicated thing on earth. – Edward Steichen

155526. The use of the term art medium is, to say the least, misleading, for it is the artist that creates a work of art not the medium. It is the artist in photography that gives form to content by a distillation of ideas, thought, experience, insight and understanding. – Edward Steichen

155527. There is only one optimist. He has been here since man has been on this earth, and that is man himself. If we hadn’t had such a magnificent optimism to carry us through all these things, we wouldn’t be here. We have survived it on our optimism. – Edward Steichen

155528. When I first became interested in photography, I thought it was the whole cheese. My idea was to have it recognized as one of the fine arts. Today I don’t give a hoot in hell about that. The mission of photography is to explain man to man and each man to himself. – Edward Steichen

155529. When that shutter clicks, anything else that can be done afterward is not worth consideration. – Edward Steichen

155530. Photography records the gamut of feelings written on the human face, the beauty of the earth and skies that man has inherited, and the wealth and confusion man has created. It is a major force in explaining man to man. – Edward Steichen

155531. People are no damned good. – William Steig

155532. To tell the truth, I don’t read children’s books. I’m an adult. I just write them. – William Steig

155533. I’ve always despised old people. I got angry at my father when he began to show signs of age. – William Steig

155534. I think I feel a little differently than other people do. For some reason I’ve never felt grown up. – William Steig

155535. I didn’t ever think of it as a social thing at the time. I took it as a good story. Maybe because I’ve always been kind of progressive so I never thought of it, you know. – Rod Steiger

155536. If you see the picture when things get exciting, he chews faster. When he really gets shocked, everything stops, including the chewing. So I worked it in for me. – Rod Steiger

155537. I’m not so sure that younger people today really appreciate the enormous bravery that went into the creation and production of that film, or how important a film at the time it really was. – Rod Steiger

155538. I was pleased when the picture was over I fit in all right and I spoke well enough as I said before, cause I was scared to death there for a minute. I mean, you’re doing a scene with somebody like that or they’re watching you or something, you’d better come up with something. – Rod Steiger

155539. I said ‘well, I’ll kiss her twice, you see? We’ll come around, I’ll kiss her, and if you put a little more track down for the camera, then I’ll put my tongue down her throat and you’ll get what you want’. He said ‘You think so?’ – Rod Steiger

155540. I made a big mistake with him the first day I shot. We’re shooting the scene where I come back from the party, the dance, in the sleigh with Julie Christie and we turn the corner and go past the camera and the camera follows us just a little bit and we disappear. – Rod Steiger

155541. And I’m supposed to grab her and kiss her and she’s supposed to react. Well, what happened was, Julie was very nervous at that time, given this incredible part which she did beautifully. – Rod Steiger

155542. I found out was, by the rhythm of my chewing, how I chewed fast, slow or what have you, I could tell the audience what my character was thinking and feeling. – Rod Steiger

155543. If he didn’t fall in love he would have never come back near the end of the film. Because, what man is going to dishonor himself so that he comes back in front of the man that took a woman away from him… and warns her to save her life? – Rod Steiger

155544. He saved the production a tremendous amount. Now they did the scene where Omar is on the horse and he’s in the deep snow, they went to Finland to do that. That scene they went to Finland for a week. I wasn’t around then. – Rod Steiger

155545. He got up and there were both of us in our underwear and this kid goes through the whole thing again, all the closets, the bathroom, everything else and then he left. – Rod Steiger

155546. Anyway, so what he did was, he spread sheets for 100 yards and underneath them he’d put things so there were bumps and different levels and on top he’d put little bushes and if you didn’t look to close, it looked like snow! – Rod Steiger

155547. And the reason I really appreciated this is because after the picture came out, I was invited by the American Psychiatric Association to give a lecture. I couldn’t believe it! – Rod Steiger

155548. Is this a proposal? I’m married now, you know. – Rod Steiger

155549. I had read the novel and I had heard David Lean was going to direct it – and it came as a surprise to me because American actors, if given the chance, can do style as well as anybody and speak as well as anybody. – Rod Steiger

155550. Only after awhile. After it came out and people began to engage in discussions about the social reflections of the film that I realized it had an importance I hadn’t thought of. – Rod Steiger

155551. Sometimes it’s great, sometimes it’s bad. I think the film could have been a lot better. – Rod Steiger

155552. That’s not a villain, that’s a man whose a victim of being in love with the wrong one. – Rod Steiger

155553. ‘The Mark’ I played a psychiatrist. And in the ’50’s everybody went to a psychiatrist because if you didn’t, you’d have nothing to talk about at cocktail parties. – Rod Steiger

155554. We came around the corner, I kissed her and after I kissed her she relaxed. And then I grabbed her and kissed her again and she was shocked! And that was what we wanted. – Rod Steiger

155555. We come. We go. And in between we try to understand. – Rod Steiger

155556. 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

155557. Now that was one thing, but from an actor’s point of view, this poor young man, crying from the moment I opened the door to the moment he left. Now if an actor did that they would say he’s over-acting. – Rod Steiger

155558. Well, one of the problems of working on a story with a character that sacred in the religions of the world or in a picture about that person, is that you have to forget about that and play it as real as you can because you can’t look at yourself and judge yourself. – Rod Steiger

155559. The successful people of this world take life as it comes. They just go out and deal with the world as it is. – Ben Stein

155561. Nothing happens by itself… it all will come your way, once you understand that you have to make it come your way, by your own exertions. – Ben Stein

155562. Personal relationships are the fertile soil from which all advancement, all success, all achievement in real life grows. – Ben Stein

155563. So many fail because they don’t get started – they don’t go. They don’t overcome inertia. They don’t begin. – Ben Stein

155564. Somewhere there is a map of how it can be done. – Ben Stein

155565. The indispensable first step to getting the things you want out of life is this: decide what you want. – Ben Stein

155566. It’s amazing what ordinary people can do if they set out without preconceived notions. – Ben Stein

155567. You can do what you think you can do and you cannot do what you think you cannot. – Ben Stein

155568. You cannot win if you’re not at the table. You have to be where the action is. – Ben Stein

155569. The human spirit needs to accomplish, to achieve, to triumph to be happy. – Ben Stein

155570. If you can’t stand the heat, don’t go to Cancun in the summer. – Ben Stein

155571. I don’t like the sound of all the lists he’s making. – Ben Stein

155572. Faith is not believing that God can. It is knowing that God will. – Ben Stein

155573. A corporation’s responsibility is to the shareholders, not its retirees and employees. Companies are doing everything they can to get rid of pension plans and they will succeed. – Ben Stein

155574. It is inevitable that some defeat will enter even the most victorious life. The human spirit is never finished when it is defeated… it is finished when it surrenders. – Ben Stein

155575. Keep on beginning and failing. Each time you fail, start all over gain, and you will grow stronger until have accomplished a purpose – not the one you began with perhaps, but one you’ll be glad to remember. – Ben Stein

155576. In the early days, I often felt that I was taking a math test when we were playing. It was a profound feeling of having to prove myself. – Chris Stein

155577. We’re a pop art band. Not a pop band. – Chris Stein

155578. The house itself is of minor importance. Its relation to the community is the thing that really counts. – Clarence Stein

155579. A small house must depend on its grouping with other houses for its beauty, and for the preservation of light air and the maximum of surrounding open space. – Clarence Stein

155580. My longing for truth was a single prayer. – Edith Stein

155581. Those who join the Carmelite Order are not lost to their near and dear ones, but have been won for them, because it is our vocation to intercede to God for everyone. – Edith Stein

155582. Every true prayer is a prayer of the Church; by means of that prayer the Church prays, since it is the Holy Spirit living in the Church, Who in every single soul ‘prays in us with unspeakable groanings’. – Edith Stein

155583. As for what concerns our relations with our fellow men, the anguish in our neighbor’s soul must break all precept. All that we do is a means to an end, but love is an end in itself, because God is love. – Edith Stein

155584. In order to be an image of God, the spirit must turn to what is eternal, hold it in spirit, keep it in memory, and by loving it, embrace it in the will. – Edith Stein

155585. On the question of relating to our fellowman – our neighbor’s spiritual need transcends every commandment. Everything else we do is a means to an end. But love is an end already, since God is love. – Edith Stein

155586. One could say that in case of need, every normal and healthy woman is able to hold a position. And there is no profession which cannot be practiced by a woman. – Edith Stein

155587. The limitless loving devotion to God, and the gift God makes of Himself to you, are the highest elevation of which the heart is capable; it is the highest degree of prayer. The souls that have reached this point are truly the heart of the Church. – Edith Stein

155588. The nation… doesn’t simply need what we have. It needs what we are. – Edith Stein

155589. If anyone comes to me, I want to lead them to Him. – Edith Stein

155590. Americans are very friendly and very suspicious, that is what Americans are and that is what always upsets the foreigner, who deals with them, they are so friendly how can they be so suspicious they are so suspicious how can they be so friendly but they just are. – Gertrude Stein
