When I got to L.A., my family had me go to dinner with this guy who had been acting here for 20 years. He gave me this big lecture and said, "You know how much money I made in 20 years of acting? Eight thousand dollars. And I`m a carpenter." He was just really unhappy and it was depressing. Then he got really stoned and I went home and felt sick. I think it was just morbid fear. I was 18. That fear stays with you so intensely and you`re constantly just getting turned down for what you think of as the most vapid, stupid kind of paycheck, "Baywatch" (1989) things, and you think, "Jesus, if I`m not good enough for this, then I`m not going to make it". This town is too hard, and people were always telling me, "You`re too big, you`re too tall, you can only play bullies and you will never be a leading man.
- Ben AffleckI don`t lecture and I don`t grind any axes. I just want to entertain.
- Gregory PeckThings are not quite what they seem always. Don`t start me on class, otherwise you`ll get a four-hour lecture.
- Michael CaineGoing to a party, for me, is as much a learning experience as, you know, sitting in a lecture.
- Natalie PortmanOf course, some would say if you have a performing inclination, then you should become a lawyer. That`s a platform we use, or a priest. You know, anywhere you lecture and pontificate to people.
- Rowan AtkinsonIn certain pictures I do hope they will leave the cinema a little enriched, but I don`t make them pay a buck and a half and then ram a lecture down their throats.
- Billy WilderBut thinking of cinema being a dinosaur, you know what they say about dinosaurs: the brain dies but it takes maybe several weeks before that message gets to the tail. So if we`re lucky, maybe, the notion of conventional celluloid cinema has perhaps one or two generations to run. But then I`m sure, quite happily, we`ll see the end of it. I would cry no tears for it because I`m quite convinced, and there`s no reason not to think this, that all the new languages will certainly be soon giving us, I won`t say cinema because I think we have to find a new name for it, but cinematic experiences, which is going to make Star Wars look like an early sixteenth century lantern-slide lecture.
- Peter GreenawayPeople who get through life dependent on other people`s possessions are always the first to lecture you on how little possessions count.
- Ben EltonThis is probably a three-hour lecture, ... First, there`s nothing new.
- Michael GreenThe lecture is an opportunity for students to learn about past and present world issues from a man who has incredible first-hand experience.
- Ryan TaylorOne of the greatest joys in my life was giving a lecture in French at the College de France.
- James CroninEarly in 1883, as I have said, I gave my first lecture on social questions, and from that time forward I spoke on these subjects.
- Albert LaskerYou can`t just lecture the poor that they shouldn`t riot or go to extremes. You have to make the means of legal redress available.
- Alexander HenryI personally developed the Academy training program. All our training is based on solid educational principles. We present the material in four training formats: lecture, demonstration, drill, and implementation.
- Alice CahnMy intention to lecture is as vague as my intention is to go on the stage. I will never consider an offer to lecture, not because I despise the vocation, but because I have no desire to appear on the public rostrum.
- Amanda GunterThis is unusual for me. I have given readings and not lectures. I have told people who ask for lectures that I have no lecture to give. And that is true.
- Andrew HarperI`ve seen students using it to get to know other students in really large lecture halls. I`ve seen students using it to flirt and hook up with people. It`s a tool for navigating through college life.
- Angela KubasaI can`t pay attention for an hour and 15 minutes. It would make my life better if I could go back and reference parts of the lecture.
- Anna Mary Robertson MosesDr. Knouff is my advisor and I think he is awesome. The best thing about him is the way he conducts his classes, most importantly the lecture aspect.
- Arnie OwenThere always seems to be someone looking over your shoulder - just waiting for an opportunity to lecture on The Darker Side of Chocolate
- Barbara Acton-BondDictatorship is a constant lecture instructing you that your feelings, your thoughts and desires are of no account, that you are a nobody and must live as you are told by other people who desire and think for you
