71285. It’s nice to establish yourself as an actor first and a singer second. Proof is such a tremendous piece of work, and I’m incredibly lucky to be a part of it. I’m sure that the musicals will happen in the future, though. – Neil Patrick Harris

71398. If war should break out between England and Japan, the latter would suffer much more than the former. – Townsend Harris

71399. If you make a treaty first with the United States and settle the matter of the opium trade, England cannot change this, though she should desire to do so. – Townsend Harris

71411. The most painful moral struggles are not those between good and evil, but between the good and the lesser good. – Barbara Grizzuti Harrison

71412. Kindness and intelligence don’t always deliver us from the pitfalls and traps: there are always failures of love, of will, of imagination. There is no way to take the danger out of human relationships. – Barbara Grizzuti Harrison

71413. I refuse to believe that trading recipes is silly. Tuna Fish casserole is at least as real as corporate stock. – Barbara Grizzuti Harrison

71414. Fantasies are more than substitutes for unpleasant reality; they are also dress rehearsals, plans. All acts performed in the world begin in the imagination. – Barbara Grizzuti Harrison

71415. Beware of people carrying ideas. Beware of ideas carrying people. – Barbara Grizzuti Harrison

71416. Desire creates its own object. – Barbara Grizzuti Harrison

71439. The world used us as an excuse to go mad. – George Harrison

71452. I didn’t feel compromised as an actor, and allowed other people’s fingerprints all over that aspect. – Gregory Harrison

71453. 7th Heaven is quite a hit for them now, and they are hoping to appeal to a very similar audience with our show; skewed slightly older I guess, since it’s a 9:00 to 10:00 show. – Gregory Harrison

71454. I have four kids; three girls and a boy. The oldest girl is 13, and has her own social life now, so there’s a bit of begrudging cooperation there. It’s tough. – Gregory Harrison

71455. I have a big family and had to move them all from the coast of Oregon to New York three times for the workshops and for the actual production itself, which had about a four month development rehearsal schedule. – Gregory Harrison

71456. I had done a lot of plays, particularly at my own theater in LA, and it was the first time in my theatrical life where I didn’t feel that my role was also to keep everybody else working hard. – Gregory Harrison

71457. I directed an episode of Touched by an Angel a couple of months ago, and I will be doing more of that. I just like to keep a bit of variety going; it keeps things interesting. – Gregory Harrison

71458. Honestly, when I got to Hollywood I was trying to sell my songs. – Gregory Harrison

71459. But we were doing plays and movies which I had nothing to do with other than being a producer, and I don’t have that kind of interest or time any more. – Gregory Harrison

71460. But I can’t wait to watch the Tonys this Sunday. I’m really glad Broadway is doing so well this year, especially with its straight plays. It’s been a wonderful year. – Gregory Harrison

71461. But I always held my music up and protected it from compromise. So I just do it for my friends. I’ve written hundreds of songs, and I’m sure I have a few albums worth of songs. – Gregory Harrison

71462. Actually I have been singing since I was a kid. – Gregory Harrison

71463. And that’s the mistake that was made with Steel Pier. Roger was caught between a rock and hard place. It would have cost a couple of million dollars more to take it to Boston or someplace first. So we opened about a month too early. – Gregory Harrison

71464. I got a series with the WB next year. We start shooting in July. It’s going to be called Safe Harbor, and it’s an hour show. It’s a Spelling show and will follow 7th Heaven. – Gregory Harrison

71465. Suddenly Star Wars came out while we were on hiatus, and we looked like the old Buck Rogers series, where they had cigarette smoke blowing out the back of the rocket ship. – Gregory Harrison

71466. What I ended up doing was becoming an actor who didn’t mind doing other people’s words. – Gregory Harrison

71467. Then when I got to Hollywood, the first musical I did was Festival in 1977. – Gregory Harrison

71468. So I got interested in singing and I have always used my voice. Not professionally as much, but around the living room, the campfire, that kind of thing. – Gregory Harrison

71469. It was the first time that I was on Broadway, and I got to run as fast as I could to keep up. And I loved it! – Gregory Harrison

71470. I learned to play guitar at a young age and converted poems and stuff that I had written to songs. – Gregory Harrison

71471. I have kept a part of Catalina Productions going, through which I develop a few projects just for me. – Gregory Harrison

71472. I have to own something before I can say it, and I have to own it before I can sing it as well, emotionally. I only enjoy acting and singing if I am believing what I am doing. – Gregory Harrison

71473. I have to be very careful about how often I drag my family to places. They need some stability in their lives. – Gregory Harrison

71474. I love to sing and I do think that my strength as a singer is… I think I have a voice that is certainly sufficient under most any circumstances… but I think my strength is that I really am an actor and I really do have to own what I am saying. – Gregory Harrison

71475. Well, I want to do The Music Man. I think it’s an amazing opportunity, but I think that they are probably looking at major movie stars right now, and I don’t blame them. – Gregory Harrison

71476. I like Ireland because it means I’m near France. – Harry Harrison

71477. Most comic scriptwriters are very bad. The artists are good, but the writers are so bad. – Harry Harrison

71478. The principles we live by, in business and in social life, are the most important part of happiness. – Harry Harrison

71479. A young and vital child knows no limit to his own will, and it is the only reality to him. It is not that he wants at the outset to fight other wills, but that they simply do not exist for him. Like the artist, he goes forth to the work of creation, gloriously alone. – Jane Harrison

71480. To be womanly is one thing, and one only; it is to be sensitive to man, to be highly endowed with the sex instinct; to be manly is to be sensitive to woman. – Jane Harrison

71481. Marriage, for a woman at least, hampers the two things that made life to me glorious – friendship and learning. – Jane Harrison

71482. To be meek, patient, tactful, modest, honorable, brave, is not to be either manly or womanly; it is to be humane. – Jane Harrison

71483. Most bands have a sound that they’re already identified with, so for the producer it becomes a process of helping them find their muse in the studio to make a record that will not only satisfy them artistically, but will also do something in the marketplace. – Jerry Harrison

71484. I had previously been in the band the Modern Lovers with Jonathan Richman. – Jerry Harrison

71485. The vocals are what immediately draw people in and sell the song. – Jerry Harrison

71486. That said, everything’s important, and every musician who plays on the record is an integral part of it. – Jerry Harrison

71487. Some artists want a producer to be a kind of svengali – someone who actually creates a sound for them. – Jerry Harrison

71488. Normally when I work with bands I’m trying to refine and improve what’s already there. – Jerry Harrison

71489. My other advice is to start writing songs and singing right away. – Jerry Harrison

71490. Music has become a bigger business, and with that there is more pressure to succeed; I think that it creates a negative pressure for being creative. – Jerry Harrison

71491. For a young band about to make a record, make sure you get the vocals right. – Jerry Harrison

71492. I think being eclectic is bad when you’re just starting out. – Jerry Harrison

71493. I’ve become increasingly confidant in following intuitions ahead of thoughts as I produce more records. – Jerry Harrison

71494. But when you’re beginning, you should try to focus on something you love and your own way of doing things. – Jerry Harrison

71495. I see myself as the buffer between the band and the record company. – Jerry Harrison

71496. I think my voice worked out fine, but it was a lot of work for me. And I was very self-conscious about it. I was a bit self-conscious about writing lyrics too. – Jerry Harrison

71497. I think that technology has both introduced new sounds but also allowed an increasingly painterly approach to recording music as you can now paint over what you’ve done and more and more refine an existing performance. – Jerry Harrison

71498. I think we could have done a lot more great music, so I was disappointed that we didn’t continue making records and touring, but it’s hard to argue with 10 good years. – Jerry Harrison

71499. Michigan is two radically different places – the North and the South which makes for good drama and contrast. – Jim Harrison

71500. Naturally we would prefer seven epiphanies a day and an earth not so apparently devoid of angels. – Jim Harrison

71501. Writers can write outside their ethnicity or sex depending how open and vulnerable they wish to be. – Jim Harrison

71502. The fact is, the media never gets off the interstate unless there’s a major explosion. – Jim Harrison

71503. Short things are short all over and long things are long all over. – Jim Harrison

71504. So when I made some money, I didn’t have any idea how one handled such a situation because no one in our family ever had any money. – Jim Harrison

71505. Some people hear their own inner voices with great clearness. And they live by what they hear. Such people become crazy… or they become legend. – Jim Harrison

71506. Success and money can really be quite blinding. – Jim Harrison

71507. New Yorkers are mostly interested in New York – in case you haven’t noticed. – Jim Harrison

71508. The old fun thing is when somebody typed up the first chapter of War and Peace. And then made a precis of the rest of it and sent it out and only one publisher recognized it. – Jim Harrison

71509. The only advice I can give to aspiring writers is don’t do it unless you’re willing to give your whole life to it. Red wine and garlic also helps. – Jim Harrison

71510. The trajectory started when I was on the roof of our house looking out at a swamp when I was 19. I had written for several years, starting at about 15, but that day on the roof I took my vows and acknowledged my calling. – Jim Harrison

71511. We are all naturally xenophobic. – Jim Harrison

71512. Writing as a woman presents enormous problems but I have attempted it several times and haven’t had many complaints. – Jim Harrison

71513. Yeah, but now suddenly – you know, universities are notoriously market oriented, too. – Jim Harrison

71514. Your kids inevitably want to move where they had their vacations when they were younger. – Jim Harrison

71515. I got $30 from Nation magazine for a poem and $500 for my first book of poems. – Jim Harrison

71516. I’ve never felt influenced by Ernest Hemingway though I suppose there is something inevitable there. – Jim Harrison

71517. There is a neurologist, a woman over at Harvard who wanted me to come talk to them, and in France I have a lot of readers in the sciences. I can’t tell you why. – Jim Harrison

71518. I enjoy about 1 out of 100 movies, it’s about the same proportion to books published that I care to read. – Jim Harrison

71519. I see more genuine sociability between the races in Mississippi than I see in Michigan. No question. – Jim Harrison

71520. Because most writers have totally unrealistic concepts of how publishing works. – Jim Harrison

71521. Everybody has a gun in their car in Detroit. – Jim Harrison

71522. I asked a French critic a couple of years ago why my books did so well in France. He said it was because in my novels people both act and think. I got a kick out of that. – Jim Harrison

71523. I can write anywhere. – Jim Harrison

71524. I couldn’t run a tight schedule, and if you’re any good at teaching, you get sucked dry because you like your students and you’re trying to help them, but you don’t have any time left to write yourself. – Jim Harrison

71525. I do have trouble with titles. – Jim Harrison

71526. I’m not rational enough to be a good journalist. – Jim Harrison

71527. I don’t see gender as the most significant fact of human existence. – Jim Harrison

71528. I rarely read or buy a book because of a review. – Jim Harrison

71529. After a lifetime of world travel I’ve been fascinated that those in the third world don’t have the same perception of reality that we do. – Jim Harrison

71530. I should add that I very much enjoy certain cities especially Paris, New York and Chicago. – Jim Harrison

71531. I thought, frankly, that it would be more pleasant to write a memoir than it was. – Jim Harrison

71532. I used to get criticized for putting food in novels. – Jim Harrison

71533. I write novellas because I don’t like loose sprawling prose. – Jim Harrison

71534. I’m actually forced to write about Michigan because as a native of that state it’s the place I know best. – Jim Harrison

71535. I don’t know what psychotherapy does. I have been seeing the same person for 26 years now. – Jim Harrison

71536. It’s hard to leave behind scenes and characters I am in love with. – John Harrison

71537. We sat here during Irene in ’99 with the back door open. We drank and watched all the stuff fly by. – John Harrison

71538. Ontario wood prices are among the highest in the world. – John Harrison

71539. If the courts are making the decisions, it matters who the judge is and, of course, people are concerned with what is the bottom line. – John Harrison

71540. I didn’t feel that running away would change anything but when the roof of the garage started coming off I thought it was time to go. – John Harrison

71543. If you build up the soil with organic material, the plants will do just fine. – John Harrison

71545. We have to try and not let the little things go by. It’s the little things that win games. It’s the little things that often get overlooked that can add two or three more wins. – Kenny Harrison

71546. Three days in a city now and I’m quite flipped. There’s too much noise. I just can’t do with it. – Lou Harrison

71547. We get more dangerous as we accumulate knowledge, and that’s both a sadness and something to control, try to learn to live with, make terms with. – Lou Harrison

71548. I don’t want to wear my compositional tools on my sleeve. – Lou Harrison

71549. The poor tread lightest on the earth. The higher our income, the more resources we control and the more havoc we wreak. – Paul Harrison

71550. When you watch it, you’re like, Wow. I look like that. But it doesn’t feel like that at all. It was about communicating with Gale Harold and getting across what I wanted to say about the character. – Randy Harrison

71551. It always weirds me out and makes me unhappy that some people think I’m Justin. I’m not. People can be talking to me and I know they think they are talking to Justin. It’s hard to explain. – Randy Harrison

71552. I wasn’t being bullied at school at this point. I had a group of friends, and I was isolated because I wasn’t communicating with my parents. I wasn’t telling them what I was going through. – Randy Harrison

71553. I wonder what kind of lives they will have built for themselves when they turn 45 and can’t really have any connection with people because they are so used to fleeting sexual. – Randy Harrison

71554. I was always the shame of the family – the one Yankee who was actually born in the North. – Randy Harrison

71555. I’m confident in my ability to maintain a career. I don’t know if it will be doing either independent films or plays in New England. – Randy Harrison

71556. I’ve done sexual stuff before – onstage, which is even more emotionally difficult. With a TV crew around, you are stopping and starting; it becomes really technical. It’s not erotic at all. – Randy Harrison

71557. It makes me proud, and it makes me scared. More than anything, I want to be an actor and I want to keep working, and I think there’s a danger in being perceived as a poster boy for something. – Randy Harrison

71558. It’s a clique that I’ve never been a part of. It’s not like I identify them in a negative way. – Randy Harrison

71559. It’s a really subtle kind of thing. It makes me feel like Randy Harrison is not a human being to them. – Randy Harrison

71560. It’s nice to see that people in Middle America are really affected. – Randy Harrison

71561. The whole character of Justin and the club life he lives – I have no experience with it. It’s really foreign to me, which is annoying, but that’s just how it is. – Randy Harrison

71562. I think the sense of community that exists with all the characters – that’s the answer. The fact that they have found a family in their friends. It does give some depth and meaning to their lives. – Randy Harrison

71563. I hope that they are finding satisfaction. I’m in no way making a judgment. I know it doesn’t make me happy. – Randy Harrison

71564. It’s upsetting that it is such a big deal. I wish it weren’t an issue all the time. It’s funny that people say it’s a departure, because I’ve been acting since I was a child. I’ve played three gay roles out of hundreds. – Randy Harrison

71565. I actually have more respect for people who are in the closet. You end up exposing so much of yourself because you have to talk about your sexual life. You shouldn’t have to talk about it. – Randy Harrison

71566. I love my parents. Coming out to them was sort of coming out to myself. I educated them, and I wanted our relationship to keep growing. I wanted them to be a part of my life still. I wanted to be able to share with them what I was going through. – Randy Harrison

71567. Dad said that he was prouder of me than he’d ever been when I came out. – Randy Harrison

71568. I can’t speak on behalf of the show. I’m not a creator; I’m just a pawn. – Randy Harrison

71569. I can’t walk down the street with my head up. I’m not a hat wearer, but now I’m a hat wearer. – Randy Harrison

71570. I don’t know for Justin; he’s always looking for meaning out of his relationships with people. I don’t think he’s as trapped into the drug thing as a lot of the others are. – Randy Harrison

71571. I don’t want to be the center of attention. My posture has changed. I walk with my head down and shoulders slumped. Suddenly I carry myself as if I’m ashamed of something. – Randy Harrison

71572. I guess I had a suspicion of it my entire life without knowing exactly what it was – knowing that there was something different about me, which I attributed to being an artist. At 11 or 12 I started sort of clarifying for myself. It took a while. – Randy Harrison

71573. I had been doing summer stock every summer while I was in college. We did a showcase, like most good conservatories do – monologues and things that agents and casting directors come to see. From that I got an agent. – Randy Harrison

71574. I never felt a need to manipulate my career from the outside – try to be someone I wasn’t to get ahead. – Randy Harrison

71575. A lot of my friends are club people. It’s not me. It’s funny to represent that, because it’s not me. I don’t fit into a gay club setting. It’s just ironic that I represent that somehow. – Randy Harrison

71576. I just don’t think that I could be the kind of actor I want to be and not be honest with myself. Honesty is very important to me as an actor and as a person. I didn’t even think about it. – Randy Harrison

71577. I don’t want to be Tom Cruise. I’m not after some movie blockbuster career. That’s not the kind of work I’m interested in. And frankly, it’s not the kind of work I’m ever going to get. – Randy Harrison

71578. By the time I came out, that kind of stopped it. The bullying stopped when I claimed myself and proved that I wasn’t afraid. A lot of it was when I was hiding when I was younger. – Randy Harrison

71579. Exhilaration is that feeling you get just after a great idea hits you, and just before you realize what’s wrong with it. – Rex Harrison

71582. Robert Morley is a legend in his own lunchtime. – Rex Harrison

71583. Most film directors do not come up with their own subjects or write their own screenplays. – Thomas Harrison

71584. With the question of the effect of a poem, the topic of investigation shifts from that of textual autonomy to textual reception – to the issue of what we actually look for or find in reading a poem. – Thomas Harrison

71585. Unlike metaphor, metonymy does not try to fuse images together. – Thomas Harrison

71586. Other, far fewer, directors are more like the composer – conceptualizing the piece, scoring it, distributing its musical lines among a range of registers, chords, and instruments. – Thomas Harrison

71587. Still the question remains of what actually speaks in a poem, if not subjectivity as historically constructed. – Thomas Harrison

71588. No art form points like poetry to this originality of language as to its essential and abiding concern. – Thomas Harrison

71589. In an age where history is recorded on T-shirts, the very notion of dwelling on the deep structure of an experience has come to appear both arcane and archaic. – Thomas Harrison

71590. To liberate words means first to shatter their function as vehicles of idea, memory, hope, or regret. – Thomas Harrison

71591. Experience has ceded to a series of happenings, about which the most we can expect is information. – Thomas Harrison

71592. As witnesses that the things were not done in a corner. – Thomas Harrison

71593. A poem conveys not a message so much as the provenance of a message, an advent of sense. – Thomas Harrison

71594. A jacket commemorating the Germans as champions of the 1990 World Cup is out of date two weeks after the event has passed. – Thomas Harrison

71595. In recent decades this symbolic or metaphorical lyric has given way to one which leans toward metonymy. – Thomas Harrison

71596. The chains of military despotism, once fastened upon a nation, ages might pass away before they could be shaken off. – William Henry Harrison

71597. The only legitimate right to govern is an express grant of power from the governed. – William Henry Harrison

71598. To Englishmen, life is a topic, not an activity. – William Henry Harrison

71599. Sir, I wish to understand the true principles of the Government. I wish them carried out. I ask nothing more. – William Henry Harrison

71600. I contend that the strongest of all governments is that which is most free. – William Henry Harrison

71601. I believe and I say it is true Democratic feeling, that all the measures of the Government are directed to the purpose of making the rich richer and the poor poorer. – William Henry Harrison

71602. I believe that all the measures of the Government are directed to the purpose of making the rich richer and the poor poorer. – William Henry Harrison

71603. There is nothing more corrupting, nothing more destructive of the noblest and finest feelings of our nature, than the exercise of unlimited power. – William Henry Harrison

71697. Not being able to work would make me very unhappy. – Ian Hart

71698. My philosophy was, if I just do good work, someone will like it enough to employ me. It never made me famous. And I’m way, way too old now, mate. That boat’s sailed. – Ian Hart

71699. Most good roles are written for young men. We are fixated on youth. So however much people say there is nothing wrong with being bald, the reality is once the hair is gone, you might not get the parts. – Ian Hart

71700. It’s not any desire on my part to start playing dads, but it’s a convention of drama. If you don’t get the parts of young people going out to nightclubs, you have to play their fathers. – Ian Hart

71702. I’m not usually attracted to big-budget American films. – Ian Hart

71726. The pressure to be timely with news has increased every year. – Mary Hart

71727. Survivor has been such a hit, and out of that have come so many interesting stories from people that we don’t see on the big screen. We have helped make them incredible celebrities. – Mary Hart

71750. In a lot of cases, as in Tom and Nicole’s case, the tabloids were about to break the story, so they said just let the news out. And they called organizations such as ours. – Mary Hart

71751. There have been many cases in which stars have come to us first to break the news because they knew the pressure was on. They wanted to have it on the air so that they could give their honest evaluation of the situation. – Mary Hart

71752. When I first got pregnant, I freaked out. Then I had to remind myself: I’m turning 30. – Melissa Joan Hart

71764. I have six sisters, so I assumed I’d have a girl. Learning I was having a boy was really weird. – Melissa Joan Hart

71779. There’s nothing like music to relieve the soul and uplift it. – Mickey Hart

71788. I think by the time I was born, my parents had pretty well run the gauntlet with their kids. The novelty had kind of worn off by the time the twelfth child was born. I was lucky to get fed and changed, picked up and taken to school. – Owen Hart

71789. Not only was it that I surprised people by beating Bret Hart, but it was a great match. They still rate it as one of the best wrestling matches of all time. – Owen Hart

71790. Some guys can do more talking in the ring, other guys do posing, body building, whatever the hell they do in the ring. But I don’t have the big body, and I’m not the big smooth talker, but I can get in the ring and wrestle. – Owen Hart

71791. The perks of working in Japan are that you might go for two weeks every three or four months, so you do work an abbreviated schedule. But you really make up for the abbreviated schedule by how hard you have to fight, how much you’ve got to be in shape. – Owen Hart

71798. It’s kind of beating a dead horse if you’re talking about going out and saying wrestling’s fake, or this or that. People don’t want to hear that. They want to hear, they wanted to find an inside story. – Owen Hart

71799. There was a bit of a comparison that Bret was making between Vince McMahon and my dad. He looked up to Vince as a dad and stuff, and it was a shame to see the whole thing end the way it did. – Owen Hart

71800. Double J is similar in age, we’re similar in experience. I think if we hooked up, we could be a formidable team. We get along well inside the ring and outside the ring. – Owen Hart

71801. I’m Owen Hart and I have my own identity and my own style. – Owen Hart

71802. It’s kind of an art, going out and performing. I’d like fans to remember me as a guy who would go out and entertain them, give them quality matches, and not just the same old garbage every week. – Owen Hart

71803. All I had to do was go out and perform. One of the hardest things was doing those back flips, where you had to jump up and land on the top rope. It’s precision movement. – Owen Hart

71804. I certainly would have regretted not getting into wrestling. It’s been very lucrative for me and I’ve been fortunate to get into it and make money and not do anything stupid where I invested in something that collapsed. – Owen Hart

71805. I find too often in the wrestling business, you just wrestle, get to the hotel, make your money. Sometimes I have to stop and remind myself to enjoy my life and not just rush through. – Owen Hart

71806. I had a very bad torn groin, my abdomen right through my legs. I was finding it really hard to get in the ring and run around and function at a decent rate. Then they had the idea that it might be better to do a retirement thing. – Owen Hart

71807. I love working in Canada. The ovation is great. It makes me feel like I’m the top dog. – Owen Hart

71808. I see these guys, they throw a guy into the ropes and they do a back flip and then clothesline the guy and it looks stupid. Why don’t you just clothesline the guy? – Owen Hart

71809. It’s hard to pick out one particular wrestler. – Owen Hart

71810. I’d come from the bottom of the barrel. Just Owen Hart getting out of the shadow of Bret Hart’s little brother. Everyone figured, this is a joke, Owen’s going to get squashed. – Owen Hart
