Against Quotes

When you’re doing a pilot, you’re doing it in this bubble that almost works against the creative impulse. You don’t have time to get to know the actors first, and you have three writers, as opposed to a room full of writers Picture Quote #1

I completely remember the horror I felt when my pits started getting hairy. I would walk with my arms pressed against my sides Picture Quote #1

I like writing about the issues we all bump up against as we get older, but I try to present them in a fun way Picture Quote #1

I was always kind of florid. And full of rhetoric. That was my flaw. My whole time writing, I’ve had to work against that because it can be a wrecking posture Picture Quote #1

As I get older, I’m slowing down and, yes, calming down in my desire to be taken seriously. That I can be entertaining and funny and high nervous energy can work against me as a serious composer, slowly but surely you’ll see me be quieter just so that people will listen Picture Quote #1

I’ve always looked for my affirmation through my peers, the people I race against, and within my team Picture Quote #1

I often get sent scripts about little men in big situations. There’s a comic element to it, which is forces stacked against this little guy, and how is he going to defeat them? Picture Quote #1

When a society is stressed, when it comes up against things that are hard to understand, you get a lot of delusional thinking Picture Quote #1

Desires collide; the wish to eat bumping up against the wish to be thin, the desire to indulge conflicting with the injunction to restrain. Small wonder food makes a woman nervous Picture Quote #1

I’ll break your face, have your ass mumbling to the jay, you going against me dawg you makin a mistake. I’ll split your wig and leave you open like a mickeal jackson jacket with all them zippers Picture Quote #1

When you play against dirty players or very tough players, it’s easy to escape because you know what they’re going to do. But when the player is tough but intelligent, it’s much more difficult Picture Quote #1

I can feel your body pressed against my body. When you start to poundin’, love to feel you throbbin’ Picture Quote #1

One day of praying and six days of fun, the odds against going to heaven are six to one Picture Quote #1

I’m a fiscal hawk. I vote against all taxes, but I do believe the environment, and climate change, is a bigger issue than fiscal deficits are as a risk to the nation Picture Quote #1

I got into lobbying kind of against my will at first. I frankly didn’t want to be a lobbyist, but I realized that in lobbying I could do things politically that were interesting to me and do some what I thought would be good. I’m not sure it all turned out like that, but at least that was some of the initial thinking Picture Quote #1

You know, everyone is always talking about plastic surgery, or the technology, what to do. I really think it’s important to help yourself with the technology if you want to feel better, but I am absolutely against any kind of monstrous cuts of the body, lifting that is beyond recognition, this kind of stuff Picture Quote #1

Even if I don’t always behave as I should, this still doesn’t explain why so many people have something against me. But you know how it is. A lot of people vent themselves by coming to the stadium to yell at me. I hope it’s not racism. I tell myself that it’s not racism; it’s because I’m tough, and I repeat this to myself Picture Quote #1

Catholics and evangelicals need to remain allied, and in solidarity, against the increasingly aggressive secularism of our age Picture Quote #1

It’s not a struggle to be on a diet. You feel lighter, and your spirit is lighter, too. But I love chocolate, and I allow myself to have chocolate. That doesn’t go against a diet for me Picture Quote #1

I’m against people reading statements. When you read statement, I automatically take it as though you can’t talk, and it’s not real Picture Quote #1

I want to be ripped apart by music. I want it to be something that feeds and replenishes, or that totally sucks the life out of you. I want to be dashed against the rocks Picture Quote #1

It’s my view that gender is culturally formed, but it’s also a domain of agency or freedom and that it is most important to resist the violence that is imposed by ideal gender norms, especially against those who are gender different, who are nonconforming in their gender presentation Picture Quote #1

A city is a crazy concrete jungle whose people at the end of each day somehow make a small step ahead against terrible odds Picture Quote #1

I’ve been offered jobs by companies that supported apartheid many times in the 25 years of my modeling career, but I have never taken one of them. I have to refuse that money, because I’m not going to work against my people. They’ve suffered enough Picture Quote #1

The militia is the natural defense of a free country against sudden foreign invasions, domestic insurrections, and domestic usurpations of power by rulers. It is against sound policy for a free people to keep up large military establishments and standing armies in time of peace, both from the enormous expenses, with which they are attended, and the facile means, which they afford to ambitious and unprincipled rulers, to subvert the government, or trample upon the rights of the people Picture Quote #1

I picked up a camera because it was my choice of weapons against what I hated most about the universe: racism, intolerance, poverty. I could have just as easily picked up a knife or a gun, like many of my childhood friends did... most of whom were murdered or put in prison... but I chose not to go that way. I felt that I could somehow subdue these evils by doing something beautiful that people recognize me by, and thus make a whole different life for myself, which has proved to be so Picture Quote #1

I’ve always seen my campaigns against corruption as political work of a purer form than what opposition leaders usually do. All they do is hold roundtables and release political statements, which is all well and good. But there are concrete things that need to get done in order to achieve the basic goal of every opposition politician Picture Quote #1

My theory stands as firm as a rock; every arrow directed against it will return quickly to its archer. How do I know this? Because I have studied it from all sides for many years; because I have examined all objections which have ever been made against the infinite numbers; and above all because I have followed its roots, so to speak, to the first infallible cause of all created things Picture Quote #1

So much of contemporary crime fiction is painful to read and obsessed with violence, particularly against women, and I can’t read that Picture Quote #1

I’ve always had better luck learning things on my own. And I really love the challenge of doing it yourself and kind of being alone against the system Picture Quote #1
