Be your true self. Because if you're not, there are consequences to be paid.
Wendell Pierce
-
At Julliard we had some voice classes. It was really just so you could carry a tune. It always just helps with your speaking voice also, when you connect your diaphragm and your breath.
Wendell Pierce

When you are dealing with a child, keep all your wits about you, and sit on the floor.
Austin O'Malley
-
I guess if you are making more money than your mom and dad, you can set your own boundaries.
Alexa Vega
-
I always think it's hard for any young actor to make that transition to more grown-up roles. Because you don't want to alienate your audience who has been supportive of you for so many years, so you kind of have to tiptoe through that process.
Alexa Vega
-
If you keep your mouth shut you will never put your foot in it.
Austin O'Malley
-
Practical prayer is harder on the soles of your shoes than on the knees of your trousers.
Austin O'Malley

A hole is nothing at all, but you can break your neck in it.
Austin O'Malley
-
Don't assume that because everyone believes a thing, that it is right or wrong. Reason things out for yourself. Work to get answers on your own. Understand why you believe things.

I think you become a writer when you stop writing for yourself or your teachers and start thinking about readers.

I've always had a fascination with making your own music but never have been skilled enough to play the instrument, so to be able to make music without the ability was awesome.
Avicii

Your opinion is not influenced by anyone when you're alone at a matinee. It's just you and the movie.
Alison Brie

YI teamed up with the Allstate Foundation to basically inform teens why it's important to drive safe. I feel I'm new on the road, so it's important to do these three main things: The first one is buckle up, the second one is slow down, don't speed, and the third one is don't let your friends distract you in the car.
Austin Mahone
-
You can go the route of not living your life at all - and a lot of actors do that, where they just won't even go out of the house at all - but it makes life so unenjoyable. You can't go out, you can't hold hands with your girlfriend, you can't do any of these things.
Austin Butler
-
Depression and anxiety can't fit in your head if you're cultivating feelings of joy and inspiration.
Austin Butler
-
I think it's important to have a dream and to follow your heart.
Austin Butler
-
When I was twelve or thirteen, if you liked something that was outside of your friend group genre, you had to rationalize and explain it in some way. It's totally irrelevant, I think, now. I don't think anybody cares. Not young people, at least. Maybe journalists.
Autre Ne Veut

The biggest crime in Nabokov's 'Lolita' is imposing your own dream upon someone else's reality. Humbert Humbert is blind. He doesn't see Lolita's reality. He doesn't see that Lolita should leave. He only sees Lolita as an extension of his own obsession. This is what a totalitarian state does.
Azar Nafisi

Another benefit of going to Cornell is that 90 percent of your friends are doctors.
Ato Essandoh
-
When you're a guest star on a movie or a TV show, I always say it's like being invited to a family reunion, but it's not your family. So you don't belong - they're being nice to you, but you don't fit in completely; you don't know everybody's story. You don't have a history.
Ato Essandoh
-
But my message to people with or without a condition is the fact that you can still do anything you set your mind to. You just have to do it in a slightly different way than other people.
Atticus Shaffer
-
In voiceover, all you have to worry about is your voice and practicing with your voice and then being able to understand what the situation and whatnot is happening. And you have endless amounts of film to perfect the character.
Atticus Shaffer
-
In Afghan culture, you don't date - you marry. Even talking to boys before marriage brings great shame to your family.
Azita Ghanizada
-
What you learn in any acting class is how to make a fool of yourself and enjoy things and get out of your head.
Aya Cash
-
Don't let form become more important than the substance of your heart and mind. Don't let commerce determine what you do exclusively.
Avery Brooks
-
Hold on to your dream. Don't let the people shake you from your dream.
Avery Brooks

Knowledge is going to make you stronger. Knowledge is going to let you control your life. Knowledge is going to give you the wisdom to teach their children. Knowledge is the thing that makes you smile in the face of disaster.
Avery Brooks
-
What happens is that your wretched memory remembers the words and forgets what's behind them.
Augusto Roa Bastos
-
My ultimate game - or at least one I would really like to see - would be something where it was like the beginning of George R. R. Martin's 'Game of Thrones', where you're Ned Stark, and you know that one of your friends has been murdered, and you go to the capital city and you have to navigate this web of court intrigue.
Austin Grossman
-
In my grandfather's day, there was a different perspective on war and men that went into war; it was such a patriotic act to fight for your country in the Forties.
Ashton Holmes
-
It is so much hard work writing your first novel. You're not even sure that it is possible to do.
Asa Larsson
-
For the most part this is a place to find down-to-earth advice on everyday cooking, eating, food shopping, cooking equipment, and nice things to put on your table.
Arthur Schwartz
-
Will you tell me, 'Oh, painting is a special art, whereas anyone can write prose passably well'? Can he, indeed? ... Can you, sir? Nay, believe me, you are either an archangel or a very bourgeois gentleman indeed if you admit to having spoken English prose all your life without knowing it.
Arthur Quiller-Couch
-
The whole business of reading English Literature in two years, to know it in any reputable sense of the word - let alone your learning to write English - is, in short, impossible.
Arthur Quiller-Couch
-
If you here require a practical rule of me, I will present you with this: 'Whenever you feel an impulse to perpetrate a piece of exceptionally fine writing, obey it - whole-heartedly - and delete it before sending your manuscript to press.'
Arthur Quiller-Couch

Portraits of other great ones look down on you in your college halls; but while you are young and sit at the brief feast, what avails their serene gaze if it do not lift up your hearts and movingly persuade you to match your manhood to its inheritance?
Arthur Quiller-Couch
-
Don't tell your friends about your indigestion. 'How are you' is a greeting, not a question.
Arthur Guiterman
-
It has nothing to do with commercial success. You cannot calculate in your head how to put the mosaic together to make a commercial film: that's out of the question.
Arthur Cohn

You have to believe. You have to stick to your guns.
Arthur Cohn

The only thing to know is how to use your neurosis.
Arthur Adamov

There are no rules and regulations for perfect composition. If there were we would be able to put all the information into a computer and would come out with a masterpiece. We know that's impossible. You have to compose by the seat of your pants.
Arnold Newman
-
After being married, hearing 'You're hot!' from a total stranger means a hundred times more than hearing it from your husband.
Andrea Savage
-
Regrets and recriminations only hurt your soul.
Armand Hammer
-
I think people tend to fall into their careers sometimes, and maybe that's a lucky path to follow because you actually end up doing your purpose.
Arija Bareikis
-
Oh, yes - being interested in acting never changes. Acting is in your blood, and of course I'll always be interested in it.
Ariana Richards
-
Early in my career, I'd plan something out for my characters. But I've learned that if you know who your character is and you go on instinct, it won't be wrong. It's never wrong. It's just different.
Ari Millen
-
This is my breakfast: Two poached eggs, turkey bacon, and a half avocado. The yolks in a poached egg are alkalizing. Avocados are a great source of fat and vitamin E; great for your skin. It's super light and not too heavy. Sometimes I like a little sweet as well, so I have a cup of plain yogurt with blueberries.
April Bowlby
-
One of those things I never exactly cared for was that phobia of appearing to be rich. To become rich is a natural thing, a result of your work, that which you've done.
Antonio Ermirio de Moraes
-
I think that before you take on nation building in your mind's eye as to how it should be, you'd better have a clear understanding if this is doable and will work.
Anthony Zinni
-
I've never really been serious about my villainy. I don't have a master plan. I suppose my philosophy is: Every villain has a mother. For every cold-blooded killer on your screen, there's a little old lady somewhere who calls him 'sonny.'
