An acting career usually has about a shelf life of ten years before people get sick of seeing you. It`s a good thing to have a job to fall back on and I really do enjoy directing.
- George ClooneyI don`t mind if my skull ends up on a shelf as long as it`s got my name on it.
- Deborah Harry"I do think I`m lucky I met Michael. Not just Michael Douglas the actor and producer with two Oscars on the shelf, but Michael Douglas, the love of my life. I really do think it was meant to happen."
- Catherine Zeta-JonesSigned on to "The Girl You Want." After a few weeks of preproduction, she received a new version of the script, which she hated, and tried to get out of her contract. Touchstone Pictures threatened to sue her if she did, and so she completed the film. The film`s title was changed to Boys (1996) and sat on the shelf for more than a year. After it finally got its release, it was released in less than 100 theaters in North America and grossed less than five hundred thousand dollars. (1995)
- Winona RyderThe digital and theatrical markets are two different marketplaces. I think the digital marketplace - thank God for it! - is like having a book on the shelf: so you can actually go to that book and if it`s four hours long, you can put it on pause, you can have a beer - no one`s counting.
- Ridley Scott(talking about the films she did in the beginning of her career): You don`t want to get rid of your experiences, because they`re your experiences - good or bad - and you need them, but it would be great if they weren`t on the video shelf!
- Jennifer ConnellyI get a lot of action scripts. I get low-budget vehicles that will end up right on the video shelf. I want to do movies that I want to talk about, that I`m proud of, but I also want to make a living.
- Dean CainSo, in some ways, the political songs tend to be a bit more like reportage, whereas the love songs tend to be like novels, you can pick them up off the shelf and go into them any time.
- Ernie PyleWell, I think that an Academy Award has a certain kind of business shelf life. People have different speculations but definitely for a couple of years, your price is raised and there are more plentiful offers. Which only makes sense - it is a business. And the Academy Awards is a business, it enhances everything when you win one. But I think the most significant thing for me was, one, it was presented to me by Al Pacino, which I just loved. And two, that it was given to me for a role and an experience that I felt was a profound influence in my life. I know this because I was nominated for The Firm (1993) that same year and I don`t feel the same way about The Firm (1993) that I do about The Piano (1993). So if I`d won for The Firm (1993) it would have been a whole different deal for me. I never actually saw The Firm (1993), so for me it would have been like... (grimaces)
- Holly HunterTo be in a couple, do you have to put your single self on a shelf?
- Sarah Jessica ParkerOne stone was thrown hard enough to dent a shelf 12 feet from the window,
- Jeff BrooksI want to keep audiences off balance, so they don`t know who I am or how to take me. If I duck and weave, as Frank Bruno might say, I`ll have a longer shelf life.
- Robert CarlyleNow, everyone has stepped it up. You just wonder what`s going to be next. And next. We`ll have to keep pushing the envelope further and further. This sport is still so new and evolving that these moves don`t have a long shelf life.
- Ross PowersI have been very fortunate from the get-go because I am a songwriter and was writing songs and was fortunate enough that I was getting pitched top-shelf songs because the songwriters were my friends.
- Craig MorganMe and my married friends catch ourselves going, `Oh, thank God we haven`t been left on the shelf for ever,` because that is now the ultimate fear.
- Daisy DonovanWe`re all professional enough to put that on the shelf but of course there will be emotion because a lot of guys have played a lot of their career with him,
- George GreganSome people may have noticed the new computer shelf at the anchor desk. Rather than phone calls, we want to take real time e-mails, and we`ll be starting that very soon.
- Catherine CrierGo on in, ... The testimonials are in the back of the mine on a shelf. They go back a long ways. Your camera will work just fine in there.
- Elizabeth KellyShelf-life for a regular video game usually is about three to five years, and that`s it.
- Don BluthSo, in some ways, the political songs tend to be a bit more like reportage, whereas the love songs tend to be like novels, you can pick them up off the shelf and go into them any time.
- Billy BraggI have the heart of a child. I keep it in a jar on my shelf.
- Robert BlochThe average trade book has a shelf life of between milk and yogurt, except for books by any member of the Irving Wallace family - they have preservatives.
- Calvin TrillinIf the area were on or near the U.S. continental shelf, such data could well provide an enemy with strategically invaluable insights into undersea access routes that could be used to attack some of the millions of Americans who live on or near our coasts.
- Frank GaffneyI have a shelf of comfort books, which I read when the world closes in on me or something untoward happens.
- Anne McCaffreyThe shelf life of the modern hardback writer is somewhere between the milk and the yogurt.
- John MortimerIt`s easy for Americans to forget that the food they eat doesn`t magically appear on a supermarket shelf.
- Alan K. SimpsonAnd it has to do with having no inventory or stockpiles on the shelf, but items arrive as you need to build your product. What that means is that it`s much more difficult to actually find stockpiles of already built weapons.
- Amber KlinglerMan hands on misery to man. It deepens like a coastal shelf. Get out as early as you can, and don`t have any kids yourself.
- Amy HolmanI have no idea whether anyone will have any desire to read it. Will people who don`t know me at all grab the book off the shelf to read it? That would be lovely, but I didn`t think about the audience when I was writing. You`re building the book for yourself, and it becomes your companion. If people hate it, then that`s great ? at least they have an opinion about it.
- Anibal ReluzNike has dominated the best shelf space at the big-box retailers.
- Ann BernardLook at the names in the Jackie Robinson Wing, ... Steve Young, Dorothy Hamill. The Jackie Robinson Wing. Goodness gracious . . .That`s top shelf.
- Annette ScarlettShe threw it out from the corner to the high slot, and I just sort of made a little fake and went top shelf over the Swedish goalie. It was a decent goal, a nice goal. Sometimes you get them on garbage goals, but this was kind of a fun one.
- Arden ManningIf an artist has five or six or seven albums in his or her catalog, a lot of times many retailers are only carrying two or three. Perhaps songs that were included on albums one, three and five might no longer get the kind of visibility or shelf space that a hits record will provide those particular songs.
- Arndt EllinghorstIf you`re going to succeed in growing market share, you need to have the product on the shelf, ... Our strategy is to be in stock and provide real value for consumers. The last thing we want to do is pass up an opportunity to take advantage of a trend we see taking place in our stores.
- Azel BackusApparently there are those in the Pentagon who don`t appreciate the work of Fort Monmouth, which is excellent and of the highest military value. There is a sense in the Pentagon that research and development can be purchased off the shelf.
- Barb GraffEven though we were up 3-0, we didn`t want to let them get back to their game. I thought he might try to go (top) shelf, but I saw him look five-hole and was able to get my stick there in time.
- Barbara ChownIt makes a ton of sense for us to explore this emerging business to see how it can provide us with more revenue potential from our titles. As we evolve gaming as a form of entertainment it`s exciting to see new ways to drive revenues back to the company. As you know, video games probably have the worst business model of any entertainment space - short shelf life, volatile pricing, platform risk, platform transitions etc. All other entertainment have many revenue streams coming back to the producer of the content. Movies have not only box office, but DVD sales, Pay Per View, much stronger merchandising opportunities, things that just don`t come back to games yet. Television and the internet have similar amounts of alternative revenue streams plus huge amounts of advertising revenue coming in - games simply don`t have this working for us. It`s retail and that`s it. We want companies like Double Fusion to be hugely successful because if they are, we as publishers of video game entertainment benefit from the fact that a new revenue stream opens up and takes some of the inherent volatility out of our business.
- Barbara HayesTechnology is like a fish. The longer it stays on the shelf, the less desirable it becomes.
