"TS has really taught me a lesson about judging people who are different. Now when I see somebody do or say something I don`t understand, I try to look beyound appearances and ask myself what makes that person tick - no pun intended. Think about it: When you keep an open mind about things that seem unusual or strange, all sorts of new understanding come to you. The world gets bigger, and so do you." ("Celebrity Diary", Teen People Magazine, April 2000)
- Neve CampbellI think we all exude essential truths about ourselves, and then, as an actress, there`s what you do with it. There`s your wit and your imagination, and what you can cook up from your experience and understanding of what makes a human being tick.
- Uma ThurmanI loved Rent when I first heard it, but it grew on me and so did Tick, Tick... Boom. Some songs are more interesting than others and sometimes the ones that never stood out at first end up being the best to perform.
- Neil Patrick HarrisI want to know about what makes an athlete tick.
- Lisa GuerreroI loathe the expression "What makes him tick." It is the American mind, looking for simple and singular solution, that uses the foolish expression. A person not only ticks, he also chimes and strikes the hour, falls and breaks and has to be put together again, and sometimes stops like an electric clock in a thunderstorm.
- James ThurberAnyone who devotes time and attention to what makes people tick, to me, is a smart person.
- Ron SilverBecause it is my second season with the team, no time has been wasted in getting to know the people I`m working with. I am aware of what the team is capable of and how the organisation works, and they are familiar with what makes me tick.
- Damon HillI`ve been really fortunate in the fact that I`ve gotten a chance to do a real wide range of all different kinds of characters. Drusilla is amazing, and is such a rich character, and then to go from that and work on a New York Italian character, to get that diversity of roles. That`s what makes me tick. I love that I`ve gotten a chance to do a lot of that.
- Juliet LandauIf I was Bridget Jones and had a tick-list of things to look for in the perfect man, he would tick all the boxes
- Edith BowmanYou think Nature is some Disney movie? Nature is a killer. Nature is a bitch. It`s feeding time out there 24 hours a day, every step that you take is a gamble with death. If it isn`t getting hit with lightning today, it`s an earthquake tomorrow or some deer tick carrying Lime disease. Either way, you`re ending up on the wrong end of the food chain.
- Jeff MelvoinI try in sessions to let listeners into the musician`s life: Where does this song come from and what makes this artist tick. So then when they listen to that artist again later, it`s a more personal experience. There`s a relationship there.
- John ZieglerBut with exquisite breathing you smile, with satisfaction of love, And I touch you again as you tick in the silence and settle in sleep.
- Allen J. EllenderBy exploring the political and moral colorings of discoveries about what makes us tick, we can have a more honest science and a less fearful intellectual milieu.
- Andrei IllarionovI thought Michael was brilliant. He basically made us tick and that allows me to do pretty much whatever I want, to bomb on as much as I want and try to create things further up the pitch.
- Arnold EdinboroughI expect that in January we`ll tick up a little bit.
- Barbara Jacobs
