Once or twice I`ve been described as a light comedian. I consider this the most accurate description of my abilities I`ve ever seen.
- Bing Crosby"Tall, sandy blonde, with sort of blue eyes, skinny in places, fat in others. An average gal." - Uma Thurman, self description
- Uma ThurmanLon Chaney and Boris Karloff didn`t like the word "horror". They, like I, went for the French description: "the theatre of the fantastique".
- Christopher LeeTo get folks to like you, I figured you had to sort of be their ideal. I don`t mean a handsome knight riding a white horse, but a fellow who answered the description of a right guy.
- Gary CooperI looked it at like this way. To get folks to like you, as a screen player I mean, I figured you had to sort of be their ideal. I don`t mean a handsome knight riding a white horse, but a fella who answered the description of a right guy.
- Gary CooperI`m sure you`ve heard that description, `Jimmy Stewart from Mars.` Yes. Because a part of him is really so sweet and pure and innocent. He`d tell me my take was `Jim-dandy`, or `Doggone it, Sherilyn, that was cool`. His direction is abstract. He doesn`t ever say `Go do this` or `Go do that`. He`ll just tell you some weird story, or when I did Wild at Heart (1990) David`s direction was `Only think of this: bobby pins, lipstick, wallet, comb, that`s it.` He`s very creative and unafraid of taking chances. We`d sit down and, `Oh, I don`t like this scene`. In Twin Peaks" (1990) he rewrote this entire scene and had me dance in the middle of the room for like three minutes. `Just groove, honey. Just keeeep moving`. I was like, `Oh, okay. I feel like an idiot. What am I doing? Okay`. Then you see it and with the music, he`s set this whole world up, this whole mood. I really respect him, he`s wonderful." - on director David Lynch
- Sherilyn FennTemptation is impossible for me to resist...Come on. This is Hollywood. It`s in the job description.
- Tom SizemoreAll I can really say is it`s bloodier than hell. In this one I`m going to be much more direct and honest in my description of the actual killings and the crime scene.
- Christopher DardenAsperger`s syndrome helped make the movies. The symptoms of this developmental disorder include early precocity, a great ability to maintain masses of information, a lack of ability to mix with groups in age-appropriate aways, ignorance of or indifference to social norms, high intelligence, and difficulty with transitions married to a preternatural ability to concentrate on the minutiae of the task at hand. This sounds to me like a job description for a movie director.
- David MametThe word actress has always seemed less a job description to me than a title.
- Gene Tierney(Tipp City, OH, April 19, 2007) My job is a job to make decisions. I`m a decision- if the job description were, what do you do-it`s decision maker.
- George W. BushI started formal piano training when I was 4. From there I had little violas, and I had dancing lessons of every sort and description, and painting lessons. I had German. And shorthand.
- Twyla TharpI think Morse`s thing about being a poor policeman but a good detective is a very good description of him.
- John ThawWhat girls do to each other is beyond description. No chinese torture comes close.
- Tori AmosWar is wretched beyond description, and only a fool or a fraud could sentimentalize its cruel reality.
- John McCainWe have to believe there`s someone out there who knows what happened and can provide the information we need on this tragic case. It`s quite possible that the boat we`re looking for may have been moved to another state and, hopefully, additional publicity will encourage someone to step forward if they have seen any boat matching the description of what we are looking for.
- Gary OwenSome of these bathrooms defy description, ... There`s no way to go into a judge and a jury and describe what you`re seeing.
- Steve HamiltonHappiness just wasn`t part of the job description back then. You tried to find a helpmate to keep the cold wind and dogs at bay. Happiness just wasn`t part of the equation. Survival was.
- Robin GreenIf I don`t have a project going, I sit down and begin to write something - a character sketch, a monologue, a description of some sight, or even just a list of ideas.
- Thomas PerryYou know, the way art history is taught, often there`s nothing that tells you why the painting is great. The description of a lousy painting and the description of a great painting will very much sound the same.
- Chuck CloseAmerica is woven of many strands. I would recognise them and let it so remain. Our fate is to become one, and yet many. This is not prophecy, but description.
- Ralph EllisonKnowing that you were going to fly to the moon, walk on the moon, defies description,
- Fred HaiseA sound mind in a sound body is a short but full description of a happy state in this world.
- John LockeIf a man is going to be an American at all let him be so without any qualifying adjectives, and if he is going to be something else, let him drop the word American from his personal description.
- Henry Cabot LodgeThat (description) does not fit my client.
- William ColeWe have fallen into this very mean description of humanity. Naturalism in fiction is too reductive in its definition of human beings.
- Al McGuireSocialism, on the contrary, extends its function to the description of society as it should be, and the discovery of the means of making it what it should be.
- Al NashA more relevant description would be a plateau in production capacity that might be reached in the fourth or fifth decade of this century.
- Alan PhillipsMyth is an attempt to narrate a whole human experience, of which the purpose is too deep, going too deep in the blood and soul, for mental explanation or description.
- Alan SandalsInteresting phenomena occur when two or more rhythmic patterns are combined, and these phenomena illustrate very aptly the enrichment of information that occurs when one description is combined with another.
- Alex WardNo pen can give an adequate description of the all-pervading corruption produced by slavery.
- Alexander JablokovThe correct description is that we try every day to become more humble when we talk about divinity, we try to realize how little we know and how open minded we should be.
- Allan GreggWhat idea can be formed from the description of these people or what credit can be given to their stories. I leave you to judge.
- Amerigo VespucciDon`t overwrite description in a story - you haven`t got time
- Antonio AversanoThat little girl is a warrior, ... She is -- for her to give the description that she did, to have the composure that she had throughout this entire thing.
- Antonio PerezTwo blocks from there when we were looking for the probationer, a male adult reported that he was attacked and robbed by physical force, ... He gave a vague description of the suspect, but we were unable to find the individual.
- Art WilliamsI would like to see a description of their daily lives that substantiates that position. One of the things I`ve done working on my book is to read a lot of the diaries online, and their description of their lives does not sound particularly interesting or fulfilling for a complicated person, for a complicated, educated person.
- Ashley GronewollerYou never found a van fitting the description.
- Ashrita FurmanWe`re dealing with a suspect whose description is pretty general, a suspect who was not recognized by the surviving victims, and a suspect who, apparently, made no statement during the commission of his horrible crime,
- Auguste PreaultMyth is an attempt to narrate a whole human experience, of which the purpose is too deep, going too deep in the blood and soul, for mental explanation or description.
- D.H. LawrenceI once had a rose named after me and I was very flattered. But I was not pleased to read the description in the catalogue: no good in a bed, but fine up against a wall.
- Eleanor RooseveltDreaming in public is an important part of our job description, as science writers, but there are bad dreams as well as good dreams. We`re dreamers, you see, but we`re also realists, of a sort.
- William GibsonSainthood emerges when you can listen to someone`s tale of woe and not respond with a description of your own.
- Andrew V. Mason
