A lot of people describe me as chubby, which seems so easy, so first-choice. Or stocky. Fair-skinned. Tow-headed. There are so many other choices. How about dense? I mean, I`m a thick kind of guy. But I`m never described in attractive ways. I`m waiting for somebody to say I`m at least cute. But nobody has.
- Philip Seymour HoffmanYou may get skinned knees and elbows, but it`s worth it if you score a spectacular goal.
- Mia HammWhen I go to the D.R., the press in Santo Domingo always asks, "¿Qué te consideras, dominicana o americana?" (What do you consider yourself, Dominican or American?) I don`t understand it, and it`s the same people asking the same question. So I say, time and time again, "Yo soy una mujer negra." ("I am a black woman.") (They go,) "Oh, no, tú eres trigueñita." ("Oh no, you are `dark skinned`") I`m like, "No! Let`s get it straight, yo soy una mujer negra." ("I am a black woman.")
- Zoe SaldanaDoes a black person make them an African American? No. There are Hispanics that are very, very dark skinned so the word has lost its meaning, it`s not a very concise or proper word to use even today and it wasn`t then.
- Pam Grierwhy I like dark-skinned women.
- John JohnsonI played a Spaniard. I looked about as Spanish as any other fair-skinned German.
- Lawrence WelkWell, I think that those of us in public life that are trying to do a good job, and that are faced with this popular new game that the media has of being critical of everything that anybody in public office does probably are thin-skinned.
- Bill ScottFailures are like skinned knees, painful but superficial.
- Ross PerotNobody is that thick-skinned that it doesn`t hurt you. Still, you always know what happens in football. I have got used to criticism, I suppose, having been high profile with England and Man U.
- Alan AdamsBeauty is only skin deep, and the world is full of thin skinned people.
- Amy TeegardenCats didn`t stand a chance. (Cats) hate water. Those who did survive the storm were skinned alive.
