Lines Quotes

You can’t draw lines in the sand like that. Humour’s a tsunami that doesn’t care about your little lines Picture Quote #1

Thank the Lord for a mother who was a general as well as a Latter-day Saint; who realized that it was a remarkable and splendid thing to encourage a boy to do something besides perhaps milking cows if he was on a farm, if he had ambitions along athletic lines Picture Quote #1

You can’t just sit there and do the lines. You have to do something revealing or unusual Picture Quote #1

I’ve forgotten lines all the time. Sometimes I switch verses in a song. It’s just hard not to when you’re doing the same thing all the time Picture Quote #1

As an actor, you’re trained to do the right thing, be politically correct, say your lines, say the right thing about the people you’re working with Picture Quote #1

I tend to jot down moments, lines, interactions that don’t really make any sense. I try and explain these scattered notes to my close friends, and they become more and more logical. I see screenwriting as a bit like a math equation which I have to solve Picture Quote #1

I used to teach kids when I was younger. When I was about 14 or 15 I started teaching children drama and something that I used to say to them was, ‘Don’t be afraid.’ People would be afraid of forgetting their lines or something Picture Quote #1

Stop the bullsh*t. Stop drawing lines in the sand like previous generations [have done] Picture Quote #1

Vigorous writing is concise. A sentence should contain no unnecessary words, a paragraph no unnecessary sentences, for the same reason that a drawing should have no unnecessary lines and a machine no unnecessary parts Picture Quote #1

She was a large, disordered woman, like a child’s drawing that didn’t stay within the lines Picture Quote #1

It’s fun to do voiceover work, although you still have to act. But it doesn’t involve memorizing lines, and you don’t have to dress up Picture Quote #1

I would say 95% of the time, because you just can’t remember your lines if you’re drinking alcohol. I would say about 95% of the time it was grape juice or this fake wine, which was horrible Picture Quote #1

Phantom’ was for me an interesting technique of telling the story. You have one voice that it is in the present telling what is happening, and then there’s one voice from the past that’s also driving the story forward. And you know that the two story lines will meet eventually Picture Quote #1

You may write me down in history with your bitter, twisted lines. You may trod me in the very dirt, but still, like dust, I’ll rise Picture Quote #1

Maryland first allowed early voting during the 2010 primary elections. In November 2012, more than 16 percent of registered voters in Maryland cast their ballots during the early voting period, and some polling places, particularly in our larger jurisdictions, witnessed early voting lines that were hours long Picture Quote #1

I’d always wanted the show to be more reality based science fiction, something along the lines of The Day the Earth Stood Still, which I consider to be the classic science fiction film Picture Quote #1

Singing is all about certain inflection on certain lines. I used to listen to tapes of everybody from Michael Jackson and Prince to Earth, Wind and Fire. They would have different vocal inflections. If the line insinuated pain, they would cringe on some lines Picture Quote #1

I don’t know how much more what I’ve done is any more important than what Ella Fitzgerald did. Ella crossed those lines, as did George Benson before me. There’ve been lots of people who brought a pop audience to jazz because they were able to link the two and give people easy access to the world of jazz Picture Quote #1

Footballers are an easy target. They are offered big lines of credit. Every sport is vulnerable; it’s such a big gambling industry, and there are problems with syndicates in other countries Picture Quote #1

At the school I attended, the clergyman who ran the cathedral school in Shanghai would give lines to the boys as a punishment. They expected you to copy out, say, 20 or 30 pages from one of the school texts. But I found that rather than laboriously copying out something from a novel by Charles Dickens, it was easier if I made it up myself Picture Quote #1

Comedy’s easy for me now - it’s all about timing and the way you deliver lines. I use facial expressions to get the point across Picture Quote #1

Learning lines is on my mind until I do know them. I’ll read the paper or paint the house to keep from starting to memorize. I’ve never found an easy way Picture Quote #1

I never have time to have a dinner. I have to eat while I’m memorizing lines. The only way to maintain energy is to eat all day long. I must eat all day long Picture Quote #1

It was a bland, tranquilized, life-adjusted, group-integrated sort of face -- the face turned out in thousands of copies every year by the educational production lines on Terra Picture Quote #1

The deepest mystery of Twitter is why celebrities and elected officials take part. After all, we all know they can’t write their own lines Picture Quote #1

I wanted to write plays. I was at Yale graduate school at the time for English literature, not for acting... I liked the idea of collaboration, and I thought if I’m gonna write plays, I should learn something about speaking the lines that I might try to write Picture Quote #1

I loved English literature - if didn’t it would have been hard - but I had to learn it myself. I remembered ways to repeat words, to put more emphasis on certain lines Picture Quote #1

I learned English kind of late. I remember when I got my first opportunity to work in America, I didn’t speak a lot of English, so I only really knew my lines for the movie I was doing Picture Quote #1

I’m reasonably easygoing. Messing up my lines or making a fool of myself is where you find my fears. Like a lot of English people, I’m prey to embarrassment - the dread that everyone’s sort of sniggering at you, that you’re going to look like an idiot. I think that sort of halts us all Picture Quote #1

The iambic pentameter owes its pre-eminence in English poetry to its genius for variation. Good blank verse does not sound like a series of identically measured lines. It sounds like a series of subtle variations on the same theme Picture Quote #1
