46416. For a while I couldn’t leave the house by myself. Even if I was just grocery shopping alone, I’d get self-conscious. – Shannen Doherty

46417. All my fans tell me what a glamorous life I have, but I tell them how hard I work and how many nights I spend alone with my dogs, eating chicken pot pie in my bedroom. – Shannen Doherty

46418. I began acting at age eight, but if you don’t stay on your game then people pass on you. Being on a show, it’s a little easy to get comfortable, so I’m trying to get back on it. I’m taking some acting classes and watching movies, and I’m just trying to stay up with other actors. – Jason Dohring

46419. I feel for Veronica Mars so much when I’m watching at home. It is a wonderful story. The writing is consistently funny, biting, charming, heart-wrenching, etc. I also like the look of it. The cinematography – different from any other show. – Jason Dohring

46420. I love the creating part of taking on a character. It is fun to be another person and create what it would be like to be that person. – Jason Dohring

46421. I would love to do more movies. I’d like to get into some theater, too, if I could, just to learn more. I want to do gritty performances that I’m proud of. It doesn’t matter to me if four people see it or millions of people see it, as long as I perform in such a way that people go, ‘Wow!’ – Jason Dohring

46422. My favorite on screen moments are when you are really there and you know you’re creating something. That’s so exciting… it’s why you come to work. – Jason Dohring

46423. It sucks to be the runner-up because I’ve been the runner-up for a long time in my career. I would get so close and then lose a huge movie and sometimes it’s one kid who beats you out for three different movies. It’s so frustrating at the time, but what’s so great is the lesson you take from that, which is, ‘I’ve got to get better.’ – Jason Dohring

46424. I’m so much more of an East Coast girl than a West Coast girl. – Lexa Doig

46425. Men with style are great because they have a sense of self. – Lexa Doig

46426. I’m determined to be a diva. – Lexa Doig

46427. Being stuck in airports, you always end up buying perfume and sunglasses. – Lexa Doig

46428. The thing about Canada is, you’re not really considered a Canadian actor unless you do something with the CBC. – Lexa Doig

46429. The idea of taking off my shoes and trying on all these clothes is so exhausting, I just leave. – Lexa Doig

46430. The idea of running around and screaming about Jason Voorhees trying to kill you was fun. – Lexa Doig

46431. Thank God my parents had an abundance of patience. – Lexa Doig

46432. Seppuku is Japanese for ritual suicide. I thought, What a cute name for a coat. – Lexa Doig

46433. My relationships with my loved ones always take precedence over work. – Lexa Doig

46434. My most recent purchase was a black lace corset. – Lexa Doig

46437. It doesn’t matter if you’re staying at a four-star hotel, you will never have your whole closet with you. – Lexa Doig

46438. I’m very proud to be Canadian, but I would move to New York in a heartbeat. – Lexa Doig

46439. I had cleavage that would make Dolly Parton proud. But those things are really heavy and I’m pretty slight of frame, so I took them out. No one even noticed. – Lexa Doig

46440. For the past 10 years, people have been making fun of the eighties. Why are we bringing them back? – Lexa Doig

46441. I did some artistic nudes when I was I 8 with a French-Canadian photographer while I was modeling. They were beautiful shots, and they were not about nudity. – Lexa Doig

46442. My parents used to take me to a lot of theatre when I was young. – Lexa Doig

46443. I do see myself going to LA. Not anytime soon. – Lexa Doig

46444. I’m totally on a mission to find my signature scent, but I’m too mercurial. – Lexa Doig

46445. I like breaking the rules. – Lexa Doig

46446. I quite enjoy science fiction. – Lexa Doig

46447. I sit on my duff, smoke cigarettes and watch TV. I’m not exactly a poster girl for healthy living. – Lexa Doig

46448. I’m off to save the universe again. It’s a tough job but someone has to do it, and I’m glad it’s me. – Lexa Doig

46449. I toyed with the idea of pursuing a career as a lawyer just because I like to argue. – Lexa Doig

46450. I’m a perfume whore. – Lexa Doig

46451. I was actually a bit disappointed about the amount of sex in the show. I think Backus should get out a bit more, get a relationship, perhaps make her a lesbian. – Lexa Doig

46452. I was taken to one place by a director, and he bought me a lap dance. – Lexa Doig

46453. I thought I wanted to be a brain surgeon until I realized all the schooling it required. I didn’t like school very much so I had to come up with something else. – Lexa Doig

46454. Thongs don’t show. With jeans, you’re always going to get panty lines and I think that’s just a big mistake. – Lexa Doig

46455. A hundredth of a second here, a hundredth of a second there – even if you put them end to end, they still only add up to one, two, perhaps three seconds, snatched from eternity. – Robert Doisneau

46456. Nowadays people’s visual imagination is so much more sophisticated, so much more developed, particularly in young people, that now you can make an image which just slightly suggests something, they can make of it what they will. – Robert Doisneau

46457. Chance is the one thing you can’t buy. You have to pay for it and you have to pay for it with your life, spending a lot of time, you pay for it with time, not the wasting of time but the spending of time. – Robert Doisneau

46458. The marvels of daily life are exciting; no movie director can arrange the unexpected that you find in the street. – Robert Doisneau

46459. If I never sang on a record again I can still look at my walls. They are covered floor to ceiling with gold and platinum records from all over the world. – Don Dokken

46460. Drugs, alcohol and ego. They are a bad mix. – Don Dokken

46461. We must never allow September 11th to become a time for protest and division. Instead, this day must remain a time for promoting peace and mutual respect. – Timothy Dolan

46462. Inventing is a skill that some people have and some people don’t. But you can learn how to invent. – Ray Dolby

46463. I think a lot of developments start with the desire of the developer to get what he really wants so that he can use it. It’s not just the technical fascination or the business opportunity. – Ray Dolby

46464. Well, you know, I mean, I first did my live shows in the late 70’s and in those days I had a boatload of equipment that always seemed to be going wrong. – Thomas Dolby

46465. Then I have a head mounted display which actually was designed for the military to do synchronized building entries and that’s looking down at my hands, so projected on the big screen behind me, you can see my hands as I’m putting the tracks together. – Thomas Dolby

46466. The man who never dreams, goes slowly mad. – Thomas Dolby

46467. The hardware manufacturers, game designers, cable companies and computer companies and, in fact, film studios are going to ensure that this thing marches on. They know that they are going to make an enormous amount of money from it. – Thomas Dolby

46468. From a technical point of view, there seemed to me to be absolutely no reason why – with the existing technology – we couldn’t do very high quality audio, because whereas the boom in digital graphics is ongoing, the boom in digital audio has already happened. – Thomas Dolby

46469. I started looking at small companies that were running a sort of virtual reality cottage industry: I had imagined that I would just put on a helmet and be somewhere else – that’s your dream of what it’s going to be. – Thomas Dolby

46470. I was desperate really for people not to accuse me of coldness. It was taboo. – Thomas Dolby

46471. I was very pleased to find that once I had records out music videos were starting to happen, so I directed some of my own music videos and got to experiment in other areas of expression. – Thomas Dolby

46472. The games industry is already bigger than the music industry, and it’s mainly directed at teenage boys. – Thomas Dolby

46473. I’ve been out on the periphery. – Thomas Dolby

46474. So I’ll set a cycle in motion and pop it into record and I’ll lay down a drum pattern, a bass line, a keyboard and guitar part, and once the groove is going I launch into the song and sing my song over the top. – Thomas Dolby

46475. It was supposed to be a year or two just to refresh my batteries, but I moved to Silicon Valley in the early 90’s, and one thing let to another, got very involved in high tech, and formed a company and it ended up doing pretty well. – Thomas Dolby

46476. It’s been over 15 years since I toured… over 12 years since I did any recording under my own name. I never really intended to take that long of a hiatus. – Thomas Dolby

46477. So evidently music was a killer app and is a killer app for computer and the Internet; it just took the tech industry a long time to hear that message. – Thomas Dolby

46478. So a more sensible thing it seemed to me was to go to Silicon Valley and be pushing on the technology companies to accelerate the use of audio and music in computers. – Thomas Dolby

46479. The other thing I felt was that the philosophical concept behind the experiences also looked like it had been designed by technicians and not by entertainers. I felt I needed to grab hold of it and try and push the envelope as much as I possibly could right now. – Thomas Dolby

46480. At the same time, one of the things I noticed was that the moment there was any kind of audio attached to virtual reality, it really improved the experience, even though the audio didn’t feel like a sound engineer or composer had been anywhere near it. – Thomas Dolby

46481. Those who cultivate moral confusion for profit should understand this: we will name their names and shame them as they deserve to be shamed. – Bob Dole

46490. At least she’s the president of something, which is more than I can say. – Bob Dole

46491. Elizabeth’s back at the red cross, and I’m walking the dog. – Bob Dole

46492. Something is wrong with America. I wonder sometimes what people are thinking about or if they’re thinking at all. – Bob Dole

46493. If something happened along the route and you had to leave your children with Bob Dole or Bill Clinton, I think you would probably leave them with Bob Dole. – Bob Dole

46494. We believe in the dignity of every life, the possibility of every mind, the divinity of every soul. This is our true North. – Elizabeth Dole

46495. The terrorists know what is at stake, which is why they are pulling out all the stops to derail our efforts. They understand that a free and democratic Iraq is a serious blow to their interests. – Elizabeth Dole

46496. There is no doubt that now, more than ever, we must work to end our dependence on foreign oil sources. But we cannot do so by ignoring the wishes of the coastal communities that oppose drilling. – Elizabeth Dole

46497. The very idea of freedom incites fear in the hearts of terrorists across the world. – Elizabeth Dole

46498. The United States is the leader of the free world. – Elizabeth Dole

46499. Let me be clear, Mr. President, mistakes have been made in Iraq. And this operation has been far from perfect as evidenced by the fact that Zarqawi and other terrorists continue to wreak havoc throughout Iraq. – Elizabeth Dole

46500. Iraq is the central battleground in the war on terror. The terrorists certainly know what is at stake, which is why they are pulling out all the stops to derail our efforts there. They know that a free and democratic Iraq is a serious blow to their interests. – Elizabeth Dole

46501. In liberating Iraq, we have rid the nation and the rest of the world from the danger of Saddam Hussein. – Elizabeth Dole

46502. Despite recent media reports that have clouded, or even misrepresented, the facts, there is compelling evidence that al-Qaida and Iraq have been linked for more than a decade. – Elizabeth Dole

46503. My commitment is to strive to lean on the Lord with my whole heart, reading His word daily and earnestly seeking His will in my life. – Elizabeth Dole

46504. I am a firm believer in free but fair trade. However the United States should not be on the losing end of trade agreements that are not enforced. It is time that we make China play fairly. – Elizabeth Dole

46505. Yeah, I just have a little part in it. In the house that Brian Cox barbecued himself appears in The Ring 2; I am the real estate agent that is selling the house, and Naomi Watts comes to check out the house as part of her investigation. – Gary Dole

46506. If you’re hanging around with nothing to do and the zoo is closed, come over to the Senate. You’ll get the same kind of feeling and you won’t have to pay. – Robert J. Dole

46507. We’ll all be riding that streetcar of desire. – Robert J. Dole

46508. As long as there are only 3 to 4 people on the floor, the country is in good hands. It’s only when you have 50 to 60 in the Senate that you want to be concerned. – Robert J. Dole

46509. They were looking for actors – real actors – who could play instruments. There was a lot of improvisation and scene work involved in addition to the music. The auditions went on for a long time. – Micky Dolenz

46510. I’m now learning how to distinguish when I’m acting and when I’m not acting – offstage as well as onstage. – Micky Dolenz

46511. When you hear music, after it’s over, it’s gone, in the air. You can never capture it again. – Eric Dolphy

46513. Do not know yourself. I want to continue to surprise me. – Arielle Dombasle

46514. For infants and toddlers learning and living are the same thing. If they feel secure, treasured, loved, their own energy and curiosity will bring them new understanding and new skills. – Amy Laura Dombro

46515. Your child should feel entitled to cry when you leave; crying is a natural thing for a child to do when she feels bad. The fact that your child cries when you go doesn’t mean she will never like day care. It just means she wants you to stay. – Amy Laura Dombro

46516. Hurricane Katrina exposed the harsh reality that we have been skating on thin ice when it comes to this country’s energy concentrations on the Gulf Coast. – Pete Domenici

46517. I expect an energy bill to increase and diversify supply and stabilize energy prices – not drive up energy costs in one part of the country to subsidize energy in another region. – Pete Domenici

46518. I have said democracy and freedom do not work too well if you are hungry, if you are starving. – Pete Domenici

46519. I submit that those who run the American military at the top, and those whose boots are on the ground and who run the machinery and equipment, are sending a signal: You asked us to do something. Give us some time and we will solve the problems and we will do it. – Pete Domenici

46520. Instead of begging OPEC to drop its oil prices, let’s use American leadership and ingenuity to solve our own energy problems. – Pete Domenici

46521. Obviously, overall infrastructure needs on the Southwest and Northern borders are mounting. We need a major push in Congress to remedy this. – Pete Domenici

46522. Small business in America is booming. The job creator in America, small business, is absolutely moving ahead. – Pete Domenici

46523. There are going to be questions about what major oil companies are doing with all of the resources they’re accumulating. They can’t escape that. – Pete Domenici

46524. There are growing concerns that oil companies are making too much in profits at the expense of consumers. – Pete Domenici

46525. Today’s gasoline prices are taking a severe toll on Americans’ pocketbooks. Consumers are anxious. – Pete Domenici

46526. We don’t want crimes committed in New Mexico falling through the cracks. This legislation ensures that there is no area of our state where crimes can be committed without consequence. – Pete Domenici

46527. As the Iraqi people better understand that Saddam Hussein and his regime are history, it is my hope that they will get behind the coalition effort to help them create a democratic government and rebuild their country. – Pete Domenici

46531. The high note is not the only thing. – Placido Domingo

46532. The press regularly proclaims my ambitions and my financial demands. – Placido Domingo

46533. The public is a part of my real life. – Placido Domingo

46534. The public made me and then encouraged me for many years, and my future even now depends upon it. – Placido Domingo

46535. The voice collects and translates your bad physical health, your emotional worries, your personal troubles. – Placido Domingo

46536. This circus games aspect has existed since the beginning of my career. – Placido Domingo

46537. Singing becomes a form of therapy. – Placido Domingo

46539. Should it happen tomorrow, I would fall to my knees to give thanks to God for such a career. – Placido Domingo

46540. When a young artist is ready, one has to bring him into the limelight. – Placido Domingo

46541. When facing symphonic orchestras which have played some works five thousands times, you have nothing to do. – Placido Domingo

46542. When I was a young man, I was a baritone, very far from possessing the whole range of the tenor then. – Placido Domingo

46543. When working with an orchestra, you never spend more than 20 minutes per recording session. – Placido Domingo

46544. With my personal preparation at the piano, I can afford to hum at half voice. – Placido Domingo

46545. Young singers are much better educated musically, much better informed, through discs and videos, than I was. – Placido Domingo

46546. Between parts I was too old for and roles that were too overwhelming, out of reach then for my voice. I carved out a niche with the Wagnerian repertoire since I am attracted by its theatrical intensity. – Placido Domingo

46547. This season, over eight productions, I am presenting four young tenors. – Placido Domingo

46548. I have always studied my parts with the orchestral score and not with the piano reduction. – Placido Domingo

46549. But enough joking. I am singing. This is all my life. – Placido Domingo

46550. But I won’t deprive myself of singing opera as long as my voice follows. – Placido Domingo

46551. Don’t you think it astonishing that, at 58, I am still working at improving my career? – Placido Domingo

46552. Every three days on average, I am alone on stage, facing the public. – Placido Domingo

46553. I am never wrong when it comes to my possibilities. – Placido Domingo

46554. The atmosphere of the theater is my oxygen. – Placido Domingo

46555. I feel like a little boy who is constantly offered new toys. – Placido Domingo

46556. I then realized that I could never be satisfied again with the mere natural charm of my voice, that I had to constantly paint when singing, melting all the colors, expressing reds and blacks that had to be less primary but bursting with subtly colored combinations. – Placido Domingo

46557. I was married at 16, a father at 17 and divorced at 18. – Placido Domingo

46558. I will prove that a great conducting career is expecting me. – Placido Domingo

46559. If money was my only motivation, I would organize myself differently. – Placido Domingo

46569. If we had been less reliant on technology and the security that we enjoy in being divorced from what we used to know, maybe things would have turned out differently. – Heather Donahue

46570. I find that a lot of women respond to my work in that it doesn’t make them feel bad about themselves. – Heather Donahue

46571. A lot of our entertainment throws into detail the stagnation and illness of how we live today-it’s sad and it’s sick… and it’s profitable. – Heather Donahue

46572. I’m not the beautiful one. – Heather Donahue

46573. I get sidetracked very easily. – Heather Donahue

46574. The system of volunteerism is divisive. It pits one charity against the others for the charity dollar. – Phil Donahue

46575. Oprah is more than an institution. Oprah is a very special star in the firmament. I can’t imagine a greater success than she’s enjoyed. – Phil Donahue

46576. Praising the Lord and passing the ammunition are mutually exclusive ideas. – Phil Donahue

46577. Presenting statues of honor to reporters for covering an earthquake is like presenting a first prize to a doctor for performing surgery. – Phil Donahue

46579. Saddam was a bastard, but he was our bastard. – Phil Donahue

46580. Some people are uncomfortable with the idea that humans belong to the same class of animals as cats and cows and raccoons. They’re like the people who become successful and then don’t want to be reminded of the old neighborhood. – Phil Donahue

46581. Spanking and verbal criticism have become, to many parents, more important tools of child rearing than approval. – Phil Donahue

46584. The Tube is a vehicle for selling things, not for exploring ideas. – Phil Donahue

46588. When I was a kid, people who got divorced were people who had no gumption. – Phil Donahue

46591. I have moved from certainty to doubt, from devotion to rebellion. – Phil Donahue

46592. Airlines are interesting. They not only favor celebrities, they court them. – Phil Donahue

46596. I believe celebrity spoils people – some worse than others. – Phil Donahue

46609. I was able to sit at Lincoln’s side and see how he thought and how he acted, and how he felt about what was going on around him. I felt the pressures that were on him. You can see what people were writing to him, how they were nudging him. – David Herbert Donald

46610. Well, it seems to me Lincoln, I suppose, is kind of a model of a particular sort of presidency, a presidency that first of all is elected by a minority of the votes. – David Herbert Donald

46611. The more I have studied Lincoln, the more I have followed his thought processes, the more I am convinced that he understood leadership better than any other American president. – David Herbert Donald

46612. The big biography of Lincoln necessarily had to do so much with his political career, his ambitions, his accomplishments in public, with less time to spend on his private life, his inner life, and I thought this might be a way of getting at that. – David Herbert Donald

46613. Maybe I will write a memoir, perhaps I’ll do some essays, or maybe I will write a mystery story. – David Herbert Donald

46614. Lincoln had no such person that he could talk with. Often, as a result, he debated with himself, and he would draw up a kind of list of the pros and cons of an argument, and carefully figure them out, and he might test them in public. – David Herbert Donald

46615. In Lincoln’s day a President’s religion was a very private affair. There were no public prayer meetings, no attempts to woo the Religious Right. Few of Lincoln’s countrymen knew anything at all of his religious beliefs. – David Herbert Donald

46616. I’m not sure Lincoln would fare well if he were a presidential candidate today. – David Herbert Donald

46617. What I thought we ought to try to do in a book like this is to focus closely on Lincoln, himself, to see what he knew, how he knew it, how he came to make the decisions that he did, and how he implemented them. – David Herbert Donald

46618. I think, with the gay liberation movement has had need for heroes and heroines, and it would be rather nice to have Abraham Lincoln as your poster boy, wouldn’t it? – David Herbert Donald

46619. I love mysteries, and I read them every night before I go to bed. – David Herbert Donald

46620. But I have tried to go over it very carefully, not merely what the evidence is, but with psychoanalysts and psychologists, and I think we’re just about all agreed that Lincoln and Speed did not have a homosexual relationship. – David Herbert Donald

46621. But having said all of that, that still doesn’t account for a lot of the increase in popularity which stems, I think, from Lincoln’s personal characteristics. – David Herbert Donald

46622. At the beginning, Lincoln was so inexperienced he had reverence for military expertise, not realizing that there wasn’t any military expertise, that the most anybody had commanded up to that point had been somebody, some troops in the Mexican War, and it had been years ago. – David Herbert Donald

46633. I don’t know many people, if any, who have had some straight line toward success. I mean, they start here, they work hard, they’ve got what it takes, and they just go straight to the top over some number of years. Most people get a little failure. – Sam Donaldson

46634. I can’t tell you what that little ingredient is which makes that first person want to go on and aggressively do more, and the other person be content to not do that. It’s a mystery, but it does happen. – Sam Donaldson

46637. I wanted to be in this business, and once I got into the business I knew I enjoyed it, and I liked it, and I wanted to continue, but I never had a five year plan. – Sam Donaldson

46638. As I went to college, I went into radio and television. Now I suppose most people think that’s one step ahead of basket weaving as a major in college, but it was part of the journalism department. – Sam Donaldson

46639. And really, the basis, I think, of achieving some success in what I want to do today comes from my mother’s push to get me to read and to make something of myself from the standpoint of an education. – Sam Donaldson

46640. And on election night I’d go down to city hall in El Paso, Texas and cover the election. In those days, of course, we didn’t have exit polls. You didn’t know who had won the election until they actually counted the votes. I thought that was exciting too. – Sam Donaldson

46641. And from a military school which taught me that to fit into society, you can’t just do anything you damn well please because it will suit you. And that it’s much better to be with the winners than it is with the losers. – Sam Donaldson

46643. But in 1941, on December 8th, after the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor, my mother bought a radio and we listened to the war news. We’d not had a radio up to that time. I was born in 1934, so I was seven years of age. – Sam Donaldson

46644. There was a little bit of ham in me. And there’s a lot of people say there’s a lot of ham in me. – Sam Donaldson

46648. I didn’t come east of the Mississippi for the first time in my life until I was 26 years of age, but I knew. I read magazines, I listened to radio, I watched television. I knew there was something out there, and I wanted a part of it. – Sam Donaldson

46649. The questions don’t do the damage. Only the answers do. – Sam Donaldson

46651. News conferences are the only chance the American public has to see Ronald Reagan use his mind. – Sam Donaldson

46652. My mother gave me a push. If I hadn’t had her, maybe I wouldn’t have had the push. If I hadn’t gone to military school, maybe I wouldn’t have decided to get with the program. Maybe I’d be running a bulldozer, rather than going on and doing something more. – Sam Donaldson

46653. You really get the most out of sweet corn if you pick the corn off the stalk and rush it to a pot of boiling water. The longer you wait, the more sugar you lose. But if you get it in the first half hour, that is the sweetest corn ever. – Sam Donaldson

46706. I’m open to comments. I’m open to objective points of view, because I’ve been very narrow and very subjective. – Richard Donner

46707. I was painting sets, working in editorial as an assistant, driving their trucks, lying that I knew how to drive a truck, and doing commercials and documentaries. – Richard Donner

46713. If you had the opportunity and some talent, there was no way you couldn’t progress, because it was an open market. There was the advertising world, and there was the documentary world. – Richard Donner

46714. Superman was never previewed because the producers didn’t trust Warners with the film. – Richard Donner

46715. Soon it’s all going to be digital anyway. It’s all going to be saved on a little coin somewhere. – Richard Donner

46716. It was 1978 when Superman came out, and I kept thinking, Why don’t they do something about it? They’ve done all these crappy attempts at comic book film adaptations. What can we do different? Why don’t we just re-release this thing? – Richard Donner

46717. When when my first feature opportunity came along, I wasn’t prepared, but we did it in about 17 days. – Richard Donner

46718. In motion pictures, the actor rules. The camera served the actor. – Richard Donner

46722. It’s developing a relationship with actors that makes it work. – Richard Donner

46735. I’ve never tried to be something I’m not. – Vincent D’Onofrio

46746. And I have been able to establish this sort of decent reputation as being a decent character actor. – Vincent D’Onofrio

46747. All of us are trying to achieve 100 percent in our work. That’s all we struggle to do. We never do, but we never stop trying until the day we die. It’s that struggle to achieve 100 percent, that’s where our performance lies, that’s what the audience gets. They get the struggle. – Vincent D’Onofrio

46748. Acting is not a mystery. There’s nothing that I know that other actors don’t know. We all act, we’re all actors, we all know the same thing. The only thing that separates us is experience. – Vincent D’Onofrio

46749. I took a route of acting, rather than starmaking, so it cost me a lot financially. – Vincent D’Onofrio

46759. The minute you start feeling like you’ve got it down, you know what you’re doing, you’re dead in the water. – Vincent D’Onofrio

46760. Some scenes you juggle two balls, some scenes you juggle three balls, some scenes you can juggle five balls. The key is always to speak in your own voice. Speak the truth. That’s Acting 101. Then you start putting layers on top of that. – Vincent D’Onofrio

46771. Nothing exists if a store doesn’t buy it and you’re not able to get it. – Carrie Donovan

46774. My dad always said, ‘Don’t worry what people think, because you can’t change it.’ – Daisy Donovan

46775. It takes time and energy, and if I’m working, then I’d rather flop in front of the telly than put on a tiny dress and work out how to get myself to God knows where. I mean, lazy some would call it. – Daisy Donovan

46781. I actually do my own renovations. I designed and built a 100-foot split-cedar rail fence to enclose my property. It was one of the hardest things I’ve ever done. Don’t recommend doing it alone. I also built a 100-square-foot back porch. Again, don’t recommend doing it alone. – Jeffrey Donovan

46782. I’ve always wanted to do theater in Chicago. Chicago is a big theater town-and, in some ways, I think this city is savvier and smarter than New York. Sometimes, I think it’s a little too chic to go to theater in New York these days. – Jeffrey Donovan

46784. Believe it or not, I don’t own a TV. Crazy huh? I’m not a big movie-goer either. I just feel like I’m watching work. I am always outside and couldn’t care less about what’s on TV these days. – Jeffrey Donovan

46785. I could never say I’m going to do bigger and better things because that would negate what I’ve already accomplished, and I don’t want to do that. – Jeffrey Donovan

46786. I don’t think an actor’s job is to be recognized. I think an actor’s job is to facilitate the writing in a way that changes the way people think. No other business does that. – Jeffrey Donovan

46792. I want to spend more time with those kids. I want to dedicate my time to train those kids and teach them what it takes, what they need to do to get to this level. – Thomas Dooley

46793. If I would take a job with a professional league, I need to be ready. – Thomas Dooley

46795. People have to pay a lot of money to play soccer here. – Thomas Dooley

46800. At times, we forget the magnitude of the havoc we can wreak by off-loading our minds onto super-intelligent machines, that is, until they run away from us, like mad sorcerers’ apprentices, and drag us up to the precipice for a look down into the abyss. – Richard Dooling

46804. Under Medicare right now, I get paid to put a pacemaker in you, but I don’t get paid to counsel you about end-of-life care. – Richard Dooling
