“Twenty years ago, there were dozens and dozens of independent television producers. There are a couple now, at the most. Mark Burnett, Endemol. It’s gone. Everybody works for the Man now.

“Nobody wants to be against technology, but I think that regulators should not – and people should not – assume that faster is always better in markets.”

“The mind controls so much of the body. We are much more than flesh and blood; we are complex systems. Patients do better when they have faith that they’re going to do better. That’s why I always tell my patients and their families not to neglect their prayers. There’s nobody I don’t say that to.”

“Usually, when you get early versions of scripts, they are not very good. I found ‘Borgen’ amazing from the very first read-through because of how fast-paced and gripping it was. It felt more international because of the way it didn’t dwell on the characters’ personal lives as many Danish shows used to, but still, nobody thought it would travel.”

“Nobody gives a crap about hockey down here – nobody. I coach kids’ hockey down here and you can start to see the disinterest in the game here with the kids.”

“Solar power is the last energy resource that isn’t owned yet – nobody taxes the sun yet.”
“Nobody taught me to play bottleneck. I just saw it and taught myself. I got an old bottle and steamed the label off, put it on the wrong finger, I basically did everything wrong until I met some of the Blues legends early in my career who taught me another way.

No one says ‘you’re a cheeky so-and-so,’ no one says ‘you’re so moody,’ nobody ever confronts anyone else about anything. But I’m very crass, and I’m very confrontational, and I have a temper. I had to be hyper-vigilant in every office I worked in.”

“I’m from a very, very rural place. There’s really nobody out there, just roads and farms.”

I wanted it to sound special and cool.”
“There are very few voices that can speak with any kind of authority or credibility on what happened back during the time when WCW and WWF were going head to head, and I think the audience is interested in that period of time, clearly.

“If immigration reform passes, it’ll be a big victory for sanity – nobody really believes it’s healthy for a country to have millions and millions of undocumented noncitizens living in the shadows.

“We can still do a stop motion feature for about one-third of what it costs Pixar or DreamWorks or Blue Sky to make a feature. But nobody is interested in a film that cost $50 to 60 million with the potential to do $120 million. They want to risk big money to make huge money.”

“When we’d suggested doing it, the Theatre Royal management had said, ‘Nobody wants to see Waiting for Godot.’ As it happened, every single ticket was booked for every single performance, and this confirmation that our judgment was right was sweet.

“I was a semiotics major at Brown, and there’s this idea that stories are better, books are better, and movies are better if they cocked you off your axis and you were completely disoriented and you’d really have to rethink everything. Nobody has that experience, actually.”

We run around like headless chickens looking for the next cultural fix to spiral around in before it gets appropriated somewhere else and becomes something it never was. There’s this sort of one-upmanship in the underground.”
“Happens to everybody. Horses, dogs, men. Nobody gets out of life alive.”

“Nobody’s life is perfect, and each individual will have their own struggles and stipulations.”
“People are lazy, and nobody wants to turn their phone to the side. I know I have my phone locked, so if I have to turn something to the side, I have to turn that lock off.”

“I’ve been on a lot of shows that nobody cared about.”

“Nobody really knows whether they are a poet. I knew I was interested from the age of 15.”
“When we were doing ‘Freaks and Geeks’, I didn’t quite understand how movies and TV worked, and I would improvise even if the camera wasn’t on me.

“You don’t attack the grunts of Vietnam; you blame the theory behind the war. Nobody who fought in that war was at fault. It was the war itself that was at fault. It’s the same thing with psychotherapy.”
“The remarkable thing about 9/11 was that journalism pretty much put down its badges. People didn’t worry about reacting as human beings. People who weren’t reporters reported. David Letterman was sort of a brilliant reporter for a second – but it was a way nobody had ever covered a story. They just presented what was inside themselves.”
“I can tell you that nobody in my family wants to sell the Knicks and Rangers. As a majority owner, I don’t want to sell, either.”

“I am actually a perfectly capable modern man who can cook, clean, wash, and find my way to places, but nobody believes it.”

“Commercial books don’t even get covered. The reason why so many book reviews go out of business is because they cover a lot of stuff that nobody cares about. Imagine if the movie pages covered none of the big movies and all they covered were movies that you couldn’t even find in the theater?”
“As we go through this transition where a lot more people will be reading on devices, nobody is paying enough attention to make sure it’s a smooth transition. I believe we still need places where people can go to handle, hold and talk about books, get information about what books are out there, and so on.”
“My first book was published without any editorial advice. Nobody said, ‘You might do this or that,’ or ‘Why don’t we see more of this.’ I merely took the book and published it.”

“I would like to do a nice comedy/drama feature with a good part, but nobody’s asked me to do a film. Maybe it’s because they don’t know what to do with a guy in a dress.”
“Well, the album ‘Intuition’ is out and just went platinum officially. So I think to have the music doing what it’s doing right now, man, it’s the ultimate. Nobody is really selling records out there but we are at a million records and we dropped it at Christmas, so we are just trying to get that thing to like two million, you know.”
“I’m bad on Valentine’s Day, but even worse on Christmas. I go shopping at nine o’clock on December 24th every year. Nobody else is there. I’m in Toys’R’Us all by myself. I get there five minutes before closing.”
“Nobody wants to hear R&B. It’s sad. If you want to be on the radio you got to stay young.”

“Nobody minds having what is too good for them.”
“Nobody, who has not been in the interior of a family, can say what the difficulties of any individual of that family may be.”

“Nobody in real life ever takes me seriously.”
“Nobody calls me silly. That is not a word that applies to me.”
“Motherhood has relaxed me in many ways. You learn to deal with crisis. I’ve become a juggler, I suppose. It’s all a big circus, and nobody who knows me believes I can manage, but sometimes I do.”
“Nobody ever starts out to make a mediocre, commercial film. You always think it’s going to be something. And then, once you’re done with your shooting, you have no control. You’re just done, as an actor.”
“I’ve always been concerned with what happens to children in our society when there’s nobody left to take care of them.”
“There’s a reason I live in the Maine woods, where nobody knows what I do for a living. I think you can be better if someone who’s coming to see you perform has no idea who you really are.”
“Every single young person is reachable. Ask them what dating is like in their country. Ask them if they have a girlfriend. Ask them what their type is. There’s nobody who’s too conservative to talk about that.”

“I’m sure Sting’s a lovely guy. It’s just that nobody wants to be seen as that holier-than-thou thing. That over-earnestness is a bit of a problem with people in bands and celebrities or whatever.”
“Comedy lives on in the web and TV, but nobody’s pressing comedy albums anymore.”
“Most of the most successful films Blumhouse has made have been rejected by everyone else. No one wanted to make ‘Get Out.’ Nobody. Nobody wanted to make ‘The Purge.’ I think it was floating around for three years before it came to us. Nobody wanted to make ‘The Gift,’ when it was a script called ‘Weirdo.’”
“Just start thinking about all the different services in your life. Like getting your dry cleaning picked up and dropped off. Nobody has done the Uber of that yet. But that will be Uberfied. You will arrange your dry cleaning via your phone.”
“There’s nobody who has as big of a real-time logistics network than Uber.”
“A great story poorly told doesn’t do anybody any good at all, and nobody wants to hear it, and nobody wants to read it. The craft of it is really more important than the subject matter.”
“If I had the opportunity to give President Trump any advice, and I had to boil it down to one thing, I suppose it would be that nobody ever got better at any job by blaming everybody else whenever anything goes wrong.”
“If nobody has really done a show about people in their twenties that has been successful, why?”

“Once you’re on, nobody can say, ‘Cut it.’ You’re out there on your own, and there’s always that thrill of a real live audience.”
“One of the successes of Kickstarter is that it takes the guesswork out of greenlighting games. Publishers of larger games have to carefully choose which titles they publish, lest they lose a bunch of money on a quirky game that doesn’t sell. Kickstarter is all reward, no risk, since nobody has to pay if the project isn’t completely funded.”
“All of the stunt men – these are the unsung heroes. They really are. Nobody is giving them any credibility. They’re risking their necks.”
“Nobody can bowl six out of six yorkers. So you have to mix your pace. You have to bowl bouncers, mix up the pace.”
“Making an independent film is so great because you’re your boss. And you have to be disciplined. You know? Because there’s nobody telling you anything. But you have to kinda, you know, if you have an instinct to do something, you do it. There’s nobody to run it by.”
“I can find every jacket under the sun that I like. But I cannot find trousers cut the way I want them. They’re all really tight at the bottom. Nobody does a boot cut on a trouser leg. It drives me crazy.”
“With *NSYNC, we shopped our deal for a year in America, sang a capella in everybody’s office, then moved to Germany for almost two years and became popular there.

“I know if mama ain’t happy, ain’t nobody happy.”

“Nobody likes a bad sport, no matter what the circumstances are.”
“There are a lot of ways to make people not like you, but one of the most powerful – if least fair – is to be really, really successful. Nobody resents the guy who just lost his job. But the guy whose Internet start-up made him a billionaire at 25? That’s a whole different kettle of envy.”
“Senior development specialists in the Treasury can be counted on one hand. America’s government is not even aware of the gap between its commitments and action, because almost nobody in authority understands the actions that would be needed to meet the commitments.”
“When I started Participant, I felt that the movie business was ripe for a company that dealt with big issues in a systemic way. I was a little surprised that nobody had done it before. But to most people, entertainment is escapism.”

“Nobody in England knows the real Luis Suarez.”

“Nobody is accustomed to play in front of an empty stadium.”
“My journalistic mission was straightforward: to await the U.S. invasion of Iraq. Nobody knew quite when this would be.

Bush – all suggested a war was brewing.”

“There’s nobody, pound-for-pound, that has what I have.”

“I don’t want to be in some big beautiful place that nobody want me, because I play the blues.”

“If you have a rigidly controlled economy, cut off from the rest of the world by infinite protection, nobody has any incentive to increase productivity and to bring new ideas.”
“I’m saying nobody’s got the guts to be a J. Cole. Nobody’s got the guts to be a Kendrick Lamar. We need more of them… Everybody wants to go the easy route.”
“To have Run-DMC acknowledge you, something like that, you’re like, ‘Oh, I’m that dude.’ To have Jay-Z do a verse, you that dude. To have Jay-Z shout you out in an intro, you’re that dude. Like, it doesn’t get any greater than that. Nobody can take that from you.”
“I don’t trust nobody, and I mean that.”

“Nobody at CNBC owns gold. Nobody at Bloomberg owns gold. Gold is being constantly talked down by the media, and Fed officials, and economists, who also don’t own any gold. They’re all stocked up in equities.”
“The politicians are all useless individuals. Nobody is reducing the problems in the U.S. or Europe, just putting on a Band-Aid and postponing the problems endlessly.”
“I always find it kind of embarrassing, kind of funny, and kind of exciting. In New York I’m recognized a lot, although nobody says anything. You know, they stare at you just a second too long. But in Paris it’s not as commonplace to be recognized.”
“Everybody wants to be a celebrity, which is why we have this phenomenon of social media, where nobody wants to be private. We all want to be seen.”

“Nobody can give you wiser advice than yourself.”
“I have a big following among the biogeeks of this world. Nobody ever puts them in books.”
“I know that some books and some writers, you can pretty much draw a square around it and say, ‘Nobody under 40,’ or ‘Nobody under 25.’ With my books, it always has been, and continues to be, spread right across the board, and I think the operative term is ‘reader.’”
“I don’t really know what ‘selling out’ is exactly. I would sell out if I could, but nobody’s buying it. I would love to go mainstream, but my comedy is too edgy. It’s always too dirty.

“It is nobody’s right to be waited on and nobody’s fate to do the waiting.”

“In the late ’80s, I think my vision was chasing people out of the room. Nobody else thought like this. I was really this pro-sex feminist.”
“I think about things like the fact that nobody knows what time is. Time is what? Nobody can describe it, even physics or math or anything else. But it is what we continuously experience.

“I don’t wanna hear nobody complain that they’re getting paid all this money and people won’t leave them alone. It’s part of it.”

“I always tell my students to complicate your characters: never make it easy for the reader. Nobody is ever one thing. That’s what makes characters compelling.”
“Hollywood is the perfect conduit for the urgent message about climate change. We raise awareness all the time. We routinely take a film that nobody knows about and get 80 percent of the public to know about it in just 30 days. That’s called marketing. We need to harvest Hollywood for climate change awareness.”
“I did go through a period where I was on unemployment. That was my low point: Martha Quinn on line at unemployment, hoping nobody will recognize her.”
“I always look at these superhero films, and I see people hurdling towards at a hundred miles per hour, and then they get up, shake their head, and charge back at a hundred miles per hour. Nobody seems to really get injured or hurt. I don’t find any threat in that. There is no tension in that whatsoever.”
“Nobody just flops a complete ‘Doc Martin’ script on the desk. They all have to be taken apart and all the apologizing taken out. Because it’s hard to have a protagonist that doesn’t really like anyone and nobody really likes him; it’s a hard premise to start from.”

“Nobody helps anybody.”
“Nobody knew me. They just knew that I was the guy from ‘Mission: Impossible.’”

“Nobody sounds good writing about your divorce, let’s face it.”
“Nobody would have me in their laboratory for five minutes. I couldn’t cut up a frog, and I certainly couldn’t perform surgery. I’m better at making it possible for other people.”
“When you choose your fields of labor go where nobody else is willing to go.”
“Throughout the Great Recession of 2008, the average 401(k) balance lost anywhere from 25 to 40 percent of value. Nobody was more harmed than baby boomers or recent retirees, who, unlike younger workers, didn’t have the time for the market to rebound or were no longer contributing and therefore unable to invest when stocks were cheap.”
“Wherever we go, across the Pacific or Atlantic, we meet, not similarity so much as ‘the bizarre’. Things astonish us, when we travel, that surprise nobody else.”

“It’s better to be a fake somebody than a real nobody.”

“There’s a moment in every romantic comedy when a person sees something in someone else that nobody else sees.”
“Nobody’s just arrogant. I’ve met people who are embattled and dismissive, but when you get to know them, you find that they’re vulnerable – that that hauteur or standoffishiness is because they’re pedaling furiously underneath.”
“Nobody’s really unsympathetic, I think. People do good and bad things. If a character’s totally unsympathetic, they’re not real and I’m not interested.”

“I wrote ‘The Zombie Survival Guide’ because I wanted to read it, and nobody else was writing it. All I’ve been doing with everything I’ve written is answering questions that I had.”

“’Memoryhouse’ came out, and there wasn’t a single review and zero sales, and after about a year, it was deleted. So I recorded The ‘Blue Notebooks’ on a little indie label, and my attitude was, ‘Well, if nobody is listening, I might as well keep doing what I’m doing’.”
“Nobody told me there was any idea for a sequel to ‘The Exorcist.’ But my agent called me to tell me they were going to do it, and there was a part for me. I said, ‘But I died in the first film.’ ‘Well,’ he told me, ‘this is from the early days of Father Merrin’s life.’ I told him I just didn’t want to do it again.”

“I think it’s funny that nobody wants to be liked by Washington. All the politicians go, ‘I don’t like Washington. They don’t like me.’ I always find it funny that people are trying to distance themselves from Washington as much as they can, even though they’re all in Washington.”
“Nobody’s ever kept their sitcom character going after the show’s off the air.”
“Nobody knows I sing. Even though I’ve done Broadway musicals. I would only pick it over acting because it’s such a pure form of emotional expression.”
“Nobody knew if the pilot would even get picked up because it had two gay lead characters, which has never happened before. And now every show has at least two gay characters, if not many more.”
“I’ve done three Broadway musicals and tons of concerts and all kinds of things, but nobody knows that except the people in New York.”
“Obviously, nobody chooses not to have kids because they’d rather sleep in late. It’s a very visceral decision, and it’s a complicated decision.”

“I am not worried that the Egyptians will suddenly invade Ethiopia. Nobody who has tried that has lived to tell the story.”
“Kids are falling through the cracks and nobody notices it. That to me is what’s wrong with the school system.”

“Nobody cared about swimming. You could draw a crowd for basketball.”
“I bet I made close to 20 tackles because nobody on either side knew what they were doing.”

“Nobody knows what really happened in any historical period. There are some periods where we know more than others, though.”

“American society was economically ill-run in the 1980s. Our society has been on a consumption binge. If the American people had a town meeting and said, ‘What do we care about posterity? Posterity hasn’t done anything for us; we’re going to whoop it up now,’ that is a rational judgment. But nobody ever did that.”

“Nobody knows anything. I deal with people in all walks of life, some of whom should have some idea of what they’re doing. And they’re all clueless. It’s astonishing that any bridges stay up, or that planes don’t constantly plummet from the sky. It’s heartening, in a strange way.”

“If you have bad hair and you bite your nails, nobody expects that you can’t direct plays.”

“People tell you everything changes when you have a kid, but what nobody says is you don’t mind.”
“Nobody told me how to sing, so I just thought I’d try and sing like Howlin’ Wolf.

“I remember specifically, in the summer of 2002, the rate of women infected with HIV/AIDS was beginning to match the rate of men, and nobody was talking about it. It was as if it was on nobody else’s radar. I had made up my mind to do something about it.”
