I enjoy being a highly overpaid actor.
I love musk oil. There's something about musk that makes it memorable without being overpowering.
Let me just say this - sometimes being a trailblazer is highly overrated.
I was one of the early folks at eBay, and by 1999, it was completely overrun by consultants from McKinsey, Bain, and BCG. It went from being a cool, fun startup to an MBA factory.
Our borders are being overrun.
Well, I was lucky in that my being an actress totally overshadowed my having some kind of a... legacy at Yale, so that was kind of great.
Few new truths have ever won their way against the resistance of established ideas save by being overstated.
When Proposition 8 passed in California, some were quick to blame minority voters, some of whom had voted for both President Obama and Proposition 8; however, these claims were later debunked as being overstated.
I have had periods when I've overused a word, 'candent' being one example, but I'm trying not to do that any more.
Being a rapper and still trying to pursue an education is really overwhelming sometimes.
Most of the arguments to which I am party fall somewhat short of being impressive, owing to the fact that neither I nor my opponent knows what we are talking about.
The first time I stepped onto the rooftop of the Potala Palace in Lhasa in 1985, I felt, as never before or since, as if I was stepping onto the rooftop of my being: onto some dimension of consciousness that I'd never visited before.
I prefer being penetrated by iron to seeing Palestine is loose.
Prior to the United Nations even being formed, Palestine was a country. But the right of the Palestinian people were trampled, and unfortunately, international organizations contributed to those rights being trampled.
Repertory theater is all about being part of the whole, one of the many colors in this vast palette.
There's people saying that 'Jackie Brown' was a blaxploitation movie, when there's nothing at all blaxploitation about it other than Pam Grier being in it.
Great things come out of being hungry and cold. Once you're pampered, you get lazy.
Being a celebrity, you can remain a child for ever, almost. You get away with more; you can get too pampered and it's not healthy.
I have four elder sisters, and being the youngest, I was pampered.
My dad tells me that he took us to a pantomime when I was very, very small - panto being a sort of English phenomenon. There's traditionally a part of the show where they'll invite kids up on the stage to interact with the show. I was too young to remember this, but my dad says that I was running up onstage before they even asked us.
