48274. I’m being told it saves money to shoot in Toronto, because of tax benefits, the crews are cheaper, but what I save in the bottom line, I lose in a million other ways. – Griffin Dunne

48316. The hardest job an actor can do is all this pretend, all this screaming and being scared for your life. – Kirsten Dunst

48317. People always tell me, ‘Don’t work so much’, but I can’t help it. I feel like all the things I’ve done are important to get to this adult stage and now I’m getting all these adult offers, so it’s working. – Kirsten Dunst

48322. I try not to do scenes a certain way, because then I become conscious of it, and it dosen’t come off as realistic. I try to make it so that I’m not really aware of what I’m doing. – Kirsten Dunst

48323. I really wanted the MTV Award the most, It was a golden popcorn container and it looks really neat. – Kirsten Dunst

48326. But the real secret to total gorgeousness is to believe in yourself, have self confindence, and try to be secure in your decisions and thoughts. – Kirsten Dunst

48327. Boys frustrate me. I hate all their indirect messages, I hate game playing. Do you like me or don’t you? Just tell me so I can get over you. – Kirsten Dunst

48328. I just don’t want to be the damsel in distress. I’ll scream on the balcony, but you’ve got to let me do a little action here. – Kirsten Dunst

48329. When I came out rapping on my record, a lot of people said, Oh, you just want to be like Puff. – Jermaine Dupri

48330. They keep the song as street as it needs to be. It’s got a good catchy hook where it can do what it needs to do on the radio, but they keep the song street where it will keep credibility in the hood. – Jermaine Dupri

48331. So So Def has been one of the most successful and consistent labels in the game in the last 10 years. – Jermaine Dupri

48332. People know me, and want to know me, as a baller more than anything else. – Jermaine Dupri

48340. I go to clubs and if I notice the DJs are playing the records faster, then I’ll push the beats a little on the next record I make. A lot of people don’t know how to watch out for things like that. – Jermaine Dupri

48347. Then in college I became obsessed with film, and wanted to be part of that. – Christopher Durang

48348. Since it’s based on my parents, it’s more emotionally close to me than some of my more surreal plays. And then I like the balance of the comic and the sad. It should play as funny, but you should care about the characters and feel sad for them. – Christopher Durang

48349. Since I also act, sometimes I get over my resentment and commit to the pitch as an acting job. – Christopher Durang

48447. It is unacceptable that disabled veterans in Illinois rank at the bottom of the list when it comes to disability pay. We owe our disabled veterans more than speeches, parades and monuments. – Dick Durbin

48448. If we do nothing, as the Republicans suggest, we’re going to see health care costs reach a point where small businesses can’t afford it and families can’t afford it.

You know, I’m James Durbin. Like I said in the beginning, I am here to show America who I am, and it is what it is. – James Durbin

48456. I appreciate what others have done in the past especially for my genre, and my style of singing. And they sure put a footprint – you know, they got the foot in the door, but I’m going to put my foot straight through the door. – James Durbin

48469. When so much money is involved in these movies, someone somewhere is going to try to screw you. – Adam Duritz

48470. Truth is, you make albums, and some of those songs are hits, and some of the greatest hits albums have songs that weren’t hits. You have a career, the reason why we’re still around 10 years is that we do have successful songs. – Adam Duritz

48471. But what you realise after you’ve been in the business for a while is that people develop opinions about you that don’t have anything to do with your music, they like or dislike you for a million reasons, they like or dislike you for your last record. – Adam Duritz

48699. Too many people think that economics is this subject that should wait until the university level. But it can’t wait that long. – Robert Duvall

48703. You have a little bit of feeling for everyone you play. – Robert Duvall

48715. I like to do things that I develop from the ground up. – Robert Duvall

48739. I don’t know if I was a desirable person, not just physically but emotionally and mentally and intellectually. I still have a long way go and a lot to learn, but I’m on my way, I don’t think I’m terribly attractive, but I’m comfortable with my looks. – Shelley Duvall

48740. And of course, now that Bernard and I have found each other forever, we’re determined to create our own little world in order to survive the one we’re in. – Shelley Duvall

48741. Anyway, I went out and bought thousands of dollars worth of mature clothes so I’d look like a person to be taken seriously, instead of a pretty little twit. – Shelley Duvall

48742. Bernard and I intend doing a lot with our lives and that includes actively helping other people. But how can we tell you our plans when we haven’t finished making them yet? – Shelley Duvall

48743. But I never let a fantasy get away, because I always stop to analyze it. – Shelley Duvall

48744. But most of what I’ve learned about acting – and a lot of what I’ve learned about life in the past seven years – was taught to me by Robert Altman. – Shelley Duvall

48745. In school the kids thought I was freaky because I made straight A’s and daydreamed a lot. – Shelley Duvall

48759. No woman needs intercourse; few women escape it. – Andrea Dworkin

48760. You think intercourse is a private act; it’s not, it’s a social act. Men are sexually predatory in life; and women are sexually manipulative. When two individuals come together and leave their gender outside the bedroom door, then they make love. – Andrea Dworkin

48761. “Women’s fashion” is a euphemism for fashion created by men for women. – Andrea Dworkin

48762. Women, for centuries not having access to pornography and now unable to bear looking at the muck on the supermarket shelves, are astonished. Women do not believe that men believe what pornography says about women. But they do. From the worst to the best of them, they do. – Andrea Dworkin

48763. Women have been taught that, for us, the earth is flat, and that if we venture out, we will fall off the edge. Some of us have ventured out nevertheless, and so far we have not fallen off. It is my faith, my feminist faith, that we will not. – Andrea Dworkin

48764. While gossip among women is universally ridiculed as low and trivial, gossip among men, especially if it is about women, is called theory, or idea, or fact. – Andrea Dworkin

48765. The genius of any slave system is found in the dynamics which isolate slaves from each other, obscure the reality of a common condition, and make united rebellion against the oppressor inconceivable. – Andrea Dworkin

48766. The common erotic project of destroying women makes it possible for men to unite into a brotherhood; this project is the only firm and trustworthy groundwork for cooperation among males and all male bonding is based on it. – Andrea Dworkin

48767. The argument between wives and whores is an old one; each one thinking that whatever she is, at least she is not the other. – Andrea Dworkin

48768. Seduction is often difficult to distinguish from rape. In seduction, the rapist often bothers to buy a bottle of wine. – Andrea Dworkin

48769. Poetry, the genre of purest beauty, was born of a truncated woman: her head severed from her body with a sword, a symbolic penis. – Andrea Dworkin

48770. Only when manhood is dead – and it will perish when ravaged femininity no longer sustains it – only then will we know what it is to be free. – Andrea Dworkin

48771. Genocide begins, however improbably, in the conviction that classes of biological distinction indisputably sanction social and political discrimination. – Andrea Dworkin

48772. Woman is not born: she is made. In the making, her humanity is destroyed. She becomes symbol of this, symbol of that: mother of the earth, slut of the universe; but she never becomes herself because it is forbidden for her to do so. – Andrea Dworkin

48773. Money speaks, but it speaks with a male voice. – Andrea Dworkin

48775. Childbearing is glorified in part because women die from it. – Andrea Dworkin

48776. Erotica is simply high-class pornography; better produced, better conceived, better executed, better packaged, designed for a better class of consumer. – Andrea Dworkin

48777. As long as there is rape… there is not going to be any peace or justice or equality or freedom. You are not going to become what you want to become or who you want to become. You are not going to live in the world you want to live in. – Andrea Dworkin

48778. A commitment to sexual equality with males is a commitment to becoming the rich instead of the poor, the rapist instead of the raped, the murderer instead of the murdered. – Andrea Dworkin

48779. Male supremacy is fused into the language, so that every sentence both heralds and affirms it. – Andrea Dworkin

48780. Marriage as an institution developed from rape as a practice. Rape, originally defined as abduction, became marriage by capture. Marriage meant the taking was to extend in time, to be not only use of but possession of, or ownership. – Andrea Dworkin

48781. Men are distinguished from women by their commitment to do violence rather than to be victimized by it. – Andrea Dworkin

48782. Men have defined the parameters of every subject. All feminist arguments, however radical in intent or consequence, are with or against assertions or premises implicit in the male system, which is made credible or authentic by the power of men to name. – Andrea Dworkin

48783. Men know everything – all of them – all the time – no matter how stupid or inexperienced or arrogant or ignorant they are. – Andrea Dworkin

48784. Men who want to support women in our struggle for freedom and justice should understand that it is not terrifically important to us that they learn to cry; it is important to us that they stop the crimes of violence against us. – Andrea Dworkin

48785. Feminism is hated because women are hated. Anti-feminism is a direct expression of misogyny; it is the political defense of women hating. – Andrea Dworkin

48786. One billion people in 175 countries will mark Earth Day. That puts tea parties in perspective, doesn’t it? – Greg Dworkin

48787. There are fewer and fewer Republicans. – Greg Dworkin

48788. If nice guys finish last, then great guys come in right after them. – Edward Dyer

48789. True hearts have eyes and ears, no tongues to speak; they hear and see, and sigh, and then they break. – Edward Dyer

48790. My mind to me a kingdom is, such present joys therein I find, that it excels all other bliss. – Edward Dyer

48791. And love is love in beggars and in kings. – Edward Dyer

48792. Some have too much, yet still do crave; I little have, and seek no more. They are but poor, though much they have, And I am rich with little store. – Edward Dyer

48793. Painting is really good fun, I have always enjoyed it. As long as I paint what I want with the freedom that I enjoy, I never tire. – John Dyer

48794. I want to paint big, bright, optimistic pictures of the place I love. – John Dyer

48795. In some parts of the world there is very little tidal movement. – John Dyer

48800. I used to own a dingy and can still sail one if pushed, but I like the pleasure boats. – John Dyer

48801. St Michaels Mount is a favourite place of mine; people will walk across to the Mount all day and assume they will be able to walk home. The spectacle of hundreds of people realising that the path they walked over on is disappearing under several feet of water is very amusing. – John Dyer

48802. The lifestyle that an artist can have, the freedom to wander in the landscape with no real pressure or deadlines, was a very attractive one. – John Dyer

48803. The majority of my work is from life. I spend most fine days from May to October painting outside. – John Dyer

48804. The most amazing thing to me about the sea is the tide. A harbour like St. Ives is totally transformed in a very short space of time by the arrival or departure of the sea. – John Dyer

48805. The paintings by Van Gough and Chagall had a big influence on me. – John Dyer

48806. While I was at college studying design I decided to paint. I was also greatly inspired by the colours that I had seen on my travels in the Brazilian Rain forest. – John Dyer

48807. My optimism for life carried through my work. – John Dyer

48808. Digital media has destroyed much of the magic and mystery of the medium. – John Dyer

48809. It’s a terrible thing wishing that it can be someone else’s tragedy. – John Dyer

48810. I use about 20 different colours to retain the luminance in my work. – John Dyer

48811. And he that will this health deny, down among the dead men let him lie. – John Dyer

48812. During the winter when the weather is too poor to work outside, I do use drawings and photographs, but I change my work so it is not just a time and place study. – John Dyer

48813. I apply paint directly from the tube and with my fingers. – John Dyer

48814. I decided to become a painter when my first four paintings where all published and attracted a great deal of interest. I exhibited one of them and it was sold. – John Dyer

48815. I have been surrounded by artists and paintings throughout my life. My father Ted Dyer is an artist, and from a very early age I have spent time painting and drawing. – John Dyer

48816. I have improved the way in which I paint. The colours are cleaner and there is more energy in the brush work. – John Dyer

48817. I studied for my degree in London and consequently ended up spending five years away from Cornwall. I deliberately moved away from the coast to experience a different way of life. – John Dyer

48818. I love the sea’s sounds and the way it reflects the sky. The colours that shimmer across its surface are unbelievable. This, combined with the colour of the water over white sand, surprises me every time. – John Dyer

48819. I paint what I see, not what a camera would see. – John Dyer

48820. I realised that if I did what I wanted to do, it would work. – John Dyer

48821. I really enjoy squeezing out a big lump of paint directly onto the canvas and leaving it; fresh, immediate and sometimes shocking. – John Dyer

48822. I still take photographs for my own use, personal studies. I do not feel that I can fully express my views through the medium and this is why I have moved towards painting. – John Dyer

48823. I have lived in Cornwall from the age of 4, so I have always been aware of the artistic heritage that the county has. I feel very proud to be able to connect to this. – John Dyer

48824. I use a wide selection of colours. It is impossible to produce work like mine using only the primary colours as they only mix a certain range of colour. – John Dyer

48825. The highest form of ignorance is when you reject something you don’t know anything about. – Wayne Dyer

48826. The fact that you are willing to say, “I do not understand, and it is fine,” is the greatest understanding you could exhibit. – Wayne Dyer

48827. The components of anxiety, stress, fear, and anger do not exist independently of you in the world. They simply do not exist in the physical world, even though we talk about them as if they do. – Wayne Dyer

48828. Successful people make money. It’s not that people who make money become successful, but that successful people attract money. They bring success to what they do. – Wayne Dyer

48829. Stop acting as if life is a rehearsal. Live this day as if it were your last. The past is over and gone. The future is not guaranteed. – Wayne Dyer

48830. Simply put, you believer that things or people make you unhappy, but this is not accurate. You make yourself unhappy. – Wayne Dyer

48831. Self-worth comes from one thing – thinking that you are worthy. – Wayne Dyer

48832. Our lives are a sum total of the choices we have made. – Wayne Dyer

48887. You know, I’m almost out of the habit of watching episodic television now. – Dick Van Dyke

48888. I think most people will tell you that. They can go along and, while they’re denying that they are addicted, say it’s stress this, it’s this, it’s that. But I – it’s – I think – I really believe there is a gene. Some people become addicted and others don’t. – Dick Van Dyke

48896. Oh, well, my first love is comedy or singing and dancing. – Dick Van Dyke

48897. Oh, I had an idea for a pilot of my own at the time, and then Carl sent me about eight scripts and simply I threw my idea out the window because the writing was just so good. – Dick Van Dyke

48898. No, no, it was the relationships. That was that group. People believed that Rob and Laura were really married in real life. You know, a lot of people believed that. – Dick Van Dyke

48901. My kids are so much better parent than I was. – Dick Van Dyke

48911. I grew up in Danville, Illinois, right in the middle of the state. – Dick Van Dyke

48913. I don’t have any children, I have four middle-aged people. – Dick Van Dyke

48947. In the first Spider-Man, at the end of the movie, Peter Parker had to deny himself a relationship with a girl that he’s in love with. The very next thing that happens is that he’s swinging through the city. – John Dykstra

48948. It’s an embarrassment of riches because you have directors who don’t better. You end up with so much stuff going on the screen that you don’t know where to look, and that’s what I consider self-indulgent. – John Dykstra

48949. Once the image was in the digital environment, one of the problems was, we had no means to reproduce the color spectrum, grey scale, and contrast that film produces, without converting the digital file to film, evaluating it, then going back and changing the digital image. – John Dykstra

48950. You had to make a camera look like it’s traveling at 300 mph, but you couldn’t make it actually travel at 300 mph so you had to slow everything down and build devices to do that. So you were constantly engineering. – John Dykstra

48952. We stayed there 24 hours a day. We lived and ate and slept that movie. We were enthusiastic, not just because of the movie, but because we had such a great collaborative team. We had a really good time. It was very much a family. – John Dykstra
