I’m like a little kid when it comes to music. I mean, the music is always blasting wherever I am that people always knock on my door and say, ‘It’s too loud!’ But I think music gives so much inspiration.

I’ve been a fan of The Rock ever since he first came to wrestling. Every time I went to school, I talked about The Rock. So when I finally got to meet him I couldn’t believe it! When he walked through the door, I went bug-eyed! ‘I’m standing next to The Rock, man!’ He’s huge. He’s very nice, though.

53
I think if you do a lot of interviews, you’re laying yourself open. If you put yourself out, accept every invitation to every premiere, then you can’t really complain when people knock on your front door and photograph you in the street.
54
You build on failure. You use it as a stepping stone. Close the door on the past. You don’t try to forget the mistakes, but you don’t dwell on it. You don’t let it have any of your energy, or any of your time, or any of your space.
55

63
64

It’s one thing, holding open the door for someone at a grocery store, or the library, or just about anyplace else. But the doughnut shop is a different thing altogether. This is a get-in-and-out-as-fast-as-you-can operation. There’s no room for courtesy or chivalry here.
117
118
119
The beautiful thing about New York is, you have to expose yourself to other people the minute you step outside the door. There is no choice. And I love that.

It’s funny, because when I was in college, all my professors said, ‘You should do comedy.’ And I was like, ‘No! No!’ But I was able to get my foot in the door through comedy. I’m so grateful to have the opportunity to do it.

129
130
There are two rules I’ve always tried to live by: turn left, if you’re supposed to turn right; go through any door that you’re not supposed to enter. It’s the only way to fight your way through to any kind of authentic feeling in a world beset by fakery.
131

145
I still, at hotel rooms, I do this one sort of not-so-cool thing: continually shoving my room service tray in front of someone else’s door. Because I don’t want the remnants. I don’t want to be caught, like, being like the pig that I was at two in the morning.
146
I love my life as a missionary, keeping myself on the front lines. The image in my mind is that God, my general, stands at the door when I go out every morning; and, knowing what the war is like, day after day he gives me his most powerful weapon: his Spirit. For this I am grateful.
147
148

160
I’m at least getting my foot in the door as far as doing straight dramatic parts, which no one would have ever considered me for in the ’80s.

161
Listen; there’s a hell of a good universe next door: let’s go.

170
I suppose for whatever reason I actively welcome being put down, something which perhaps goes back to my upbringing – that accusation of not being worthy which could be laid at one’s door.
171

175
The funniest thing happened in one of my first scenes. In the beginning Emma was really arrogant and punk and in every scene she would slam the door when she walked in or out.
176
177
178
Show business is like a bumpy bus ride. Sometimes you find yourself temporarily juggled out of your seat and holding onto a strap. But the main idea is to hang in there and not be shoved out the door.
179
180
People don’t understand that all presidents, the minute they become president, get a knock at the door. And there’s a man there saying, ‘Let’s talk about your funeral.’ At the time I thought, God, that’s a terrible thing. Later on, I thought it was pretty wise.
181

186
Grain isn’t structured like a screen door that you’re looking through, but pixels are. Film-based grain is just all over the place, one frame totally different from the next. So your edges are coolly sharp and have a different feeling, an organic feeling rather than this mechanic feeling you get with digital.

One of the hardiest myths in British public life is that there is a conspiracy of silence on immigration. Liberals and leftists, it is alleged, have bandied together to prevent debate or discussion of ‘mass immigration’ into the U.K., caused by Labour‘s ‘open door’ policies.
193
Danny DeVito later told me that he knew he wanted me for ‘Matilda’ the second I walked in the door. I’m not sure if this is true, or if he was just being nice, but I was thrilled when I got it.
194

201
I’m the classic absent-minded professor: I’m very focused on something, and meanwhile, I’ve left the refrigerator door open for hours.
202
203

204
205
206

209
I may be the girl next door, but you wouldn’t want to live next to me.
210
You think intercourse is a private act; it’s not, it’s a social act. Men are sexually predatory in life; and women are sexually manipulative. When two individuals come together and leave their gender outside the bedroom door, then they make love.
211
I happen to love working in cinema, but the theater is always there… you know, and I would never shut the door on it. Even though it’s been quite a bit of time since I’ve done a play, last one was in New York.

214
215
216
217

The door can never be closed for good to any player.

Indeed I did not stand as a beggar at the Parliament door, for I never was at the Parliament-House, nor stood I ever at the door as I do know or can remember; not as a petitioner I am sure.
240
Wherever Mantle went in the great metropolis – Danny’s Hideaway, the Latin Quarter, the ’21’ Club, the Stork Club, El Morocco, Toots Shor’s – his preferred drink was waiting when he walked through the door. Reporters waited at his locker for monosyllabic bons mots. Boys clustered by the players‘ gate, hoping to touch him.
241
242
243
244
The way that I opened the door for the young people that come from where I come from and that have a different background, that is what I want to be remembered for.

247
248

250
251
252
253
254
As far as I’m concerned, collaboration is the essence of life. It’s wonderful to be able to have talents, and, very often, we think that we know what our talents are, or we find out through a back door that we have a talent. I know that I found out I was a lyricist quite through a back door.
255
I love leaving the door open to good ideas. I love the collaborative swirl. I get charged by problem-solving, usually under some kind of stress – the sun is going down, and we have eight minutes, and we have to solve it. Great things come out of it.
256
When you read reviews on Yelp, you get a good sense of what’s going to happen when you walk in the door of that business. The challenge is that there are fifteen million businesses in the U.S., and its very hard to communicate with all of them about how Yelp works, and why it works the way it does.
257
258
I still have my school friends who are actually friends. It’s nice that they don’t think much about my singing career. They think it is cool, and they are happy for me, but they don’t really bother me about it. To them, I’m still just the schoolgirl from next door.
259
260
I was the kid next door’s imaginary friend.
261

271

278
279
280

283
I think it helps in any comedy room for a woman to have very strong, respected convictions, because then it opens the door up a little bit for other women to have that.
284
You have to think there’s a reason for everything. When a door closes another door opens.
285
286

289
I do, indeed, close my door at times and surrender myself to a book, but only because I can open the door again and see a human face looking at me.
290
It’s very important to know the neighbor next door and the people down the street and the people in another race.
291
292
It’s not like I don’t want to play the guy next door. But sometimes they’re not the best written or the most complicated. But I am very, very particular about my bad boys. There are certain types of characters I will not play. I’ve said no so many times to so many parts that are just way too dark. You have to be careful.
293
294
Well, I’m certainly glad that I was nominated for an Oscar. There is certainly a respect that comes with that nod. Also, a compliment that comes with it, too. Not that I really know what I’m doing. In a lot of ways I feel like some child on set, or like a kid that snuck in the back door.
295
296

299
300
For me, Debussy is the door to all 20th-century music.
301
Sometimes I feel an obligation to be accessible as a personality, but for me the driving force since the beginning has always been good work, taking risks, trying new things. If the door opens, go through it. Always go forwards.
302
As actors, we want to choose somebody who has conflicts. I can’t be always playing the girl next door. What’s the challenge in that?
303
304
305
When you get into a hotel room, you lock the door, and you know there is a secrecy, there is a luxury, there is fantasy. There is comfort. There is reassurance.
306
307
Crankiness is a human attribute that, when people walk in the door of Xerox, they remain human. The best way to get the best out of people is to not force them to be something other than they naturally are. Now what do they have to be? They have to be respectful. You can’t be ridiculously disrespectful.
308
I’ve fixed hard problems of all kinds, civil rights and business problems. It’s the stuff I like to do, and I’m good at it, as a matter of fact… and I never left my conscience at the door.
309
310
No one ever tells a story to help you figure out where to go when a door closes on you.
311
By increasing the size of the keyhole, today‘s playwrights are in danger of doing away with the door.
312
I never close a door on any other religion. Most of the time, some part of it makes sense to me. I don’t believe everyone has to chant just because I chant. I believe all religion is about touching something inside of yourself.
313
I have made it totally clear to the players that my door will always be open.
314
315
316
317
318
319
320
321
322
I get the ‘The New York Times’ and ‘Los Angeles Times’ thrown at my door every morning. I’ll read the front page of ‘The New York Times,’ then the op-eds, then scan the arts section and then the sports section. Then I do the same with the ‘L.A. Times.’
323
I want to show the world that you do have some artists that are ready to go to the next level, and instead of being selfish with their career they’ll open up the door to other people. I’m in a position to open up the door to help other people do what I do.
324
325
Everybody loves vampire stories, and if there’s one show in particular that’s done really well, it just opens the door and the opportunity for more of those kind of stories to get through.
326
327
When something like that happens, people want to try to find some dirt and make it more of a soap opera. But I think we both walked away with the door still open, if we want to do something together again. So yeah, I would call it a friendly break-up.
328
329
People who live in glass houses… have to answer the door.
330
I feel that between my experience and my mother’s, breast cancer is a little bit like someone who lives next door. I know what that person looks like and what their daily habits are.
331
332
I think the best thing you can teach a person is how to learn. And once they discover their own individual approach to that – which is inside all of us – then all of a sudden, they’ve opened up a door of endless resources.
333
If you’re cooking and not making mistakes, you’re not playing outside your safety zone. I don’t expect it all to be good. I have fat dogs because I scrap that stuff out the back door.
334
Don’t give up, be positive and if you know someone who knows someone at a record company don’t stop beating down their door till you get heard. Don’t ever say it’ll never happen or it’ll never happen.
335
I was always inspired by restaurants like La Tulipe in Manhattan. You’d walk right by and say, ‘Oh what a lovely house.’ You didn’t realize there was a restaurant behind the door.
336
If you do something really well, the entire world beats a path to your door. The number three, number five, number 400 player gets nothing. It’s almost a winner take all.
337
People used to come knocking on my door saying, ‘Your trouble is that you’re a sex symbol who doesn’t do enough sexy things.’ I’d say to myself, ‘You think that if you pressure me I’ll fold.’ But if I did it, all it would mean is that I sold out.
338
I find that when you open the door toward openness and transparency, a lot of people will follow you through.
339
One door shuts, and another one opens, and you just kind of follow that path. My path has been a little curvy, but it is what it is. It’s all good.
340
That’s why editors and publishers will never be obsolete: a reader wants someone with taste and authority to point them in the direction of the good stuff, and to keep the awful stuff away from their door.
341
342
It’s horrible to get a cameraphone shoved in your face every time you walk out the door.
343
And I found that when I built my own place and just shut the door, the creativity was endless.
344
345
I have no idea how to become successful in children’s tv programming today other than to say that whereever you find that rare animal being pursued, insert yourself into its environment; get in the door in any position and work from within.
346
Check your ego at the door. The ego can be the great success inhibitor. It can kill opportunities, and it can kill success.
347
If you’ve tried everything possible to get an outcome, and it just hasn’t worked out as planned, stop trying so hard. Relax. Maybe the timing‘s not right. Maybe it wasn’t in your best interests. Maybe while one door seems to be closing, another is opening.
348
349
Life is an unfoldment, and the further we travel the more truth we can comprehend. To understand the things that are at our door is the best preparation for understanding those that lie beyond.
350
351
When I go to Indian reservations in the West, and especially to the Pine Ridge Reservation, I sometimes feel unsure where to put my foot when I open the car door. The very ground is different from where I usually stand. There are fewer curbs, fewer sidewalks, and almost no street signs, mailboxes, or leashed dogs.
352
To me the biggest breakthrough was when we did Terminator 2 that just opened the door for Jurassic and all of the others and that was as big as when we did motion control on Star Wars. But I don’t see another big thing coming.
353
I’m like the girl next door… I just have a bad streak.
354
You need doors to open, you need a chance – and you have got to have something, to take your chance when the door opens at the right time. My first port of call was to be a manager, then it was a successful manager, then it was a Premier League manager.
355
There’s been times where I sold the place out, and I walked in and the guy’s like, ‘Uh, ID?’ ‘No, you can’t ID me, man. I just sold this place out.’ People are just doing their jobs, but I think if you’re working the door at a venue where there’s a headliner, you should at least be like, ‘OK, this is the dude.’
356
357
358
I’ve always walked around with the sense that the world is not a safe place. I didn’t get the spontaneous gene or the adventure one, really. After going through the day with its stresses, when I shut that door at night, I don’t have to deal with anything but dinner, ‘E.R.’ and my bathrobe.
359
360
If you would not step into the harlot’s house, do not go by the harlot’s door.
361
I remember I did think, ‘Wouldn’t it be nice if Mr. Right moved in next door?’
362
363
As far as I’m concerned, I’m now in the business of making spiritual records and using my voice for that purpose. I’m not going to be singing songs that I made in the past. I closed the door on that incarnation of Sinead O’Connor.
364
Casper Wyo., population 18,000 when I was born, was large enough to hold the surprises of civilization, but small enough that the prairie was close by – for some in our town, right out the front door – stretching on forever, under the great curving sky.
365
If you’re not connected emotionally to a story, then you’re dead. You’re really just opening the door for people to lose interest and their minds to wander, for them to start picking it apart.
366
What used to be called ‘good manners‘ is now regarded as mere affectation. Open a door for a young woman, and she’s likely to call security.
367
It’s perfectly fair that you can’t be a Roman Catholic priest unless you’re a man. It seems right that the reach of anti-discriminatory law should stop at the door of the church or mosque.
368
369
I feel like I am campaigning door to door. You just can’t step out of a band like Brooks & Dunn and assume that it is just going to be business as usual. You have to work it. It does feel like a campaign where you would have Obama, Romney, or Newt beating the bushes right now. That’s what I’m having to do.
370
In life, anything can happen, and I do not close the door to anything.
371
My sisters are very academically inclined so whenever they would fix me up, it would always be from someone in their world, people they would find attractive. When they came to the door in suits, it was over.
372
The pastor of a parish will typically have no education in the chant or in music, and he will hire the first music director who walks through the door.
373
374
We sat here during Irene in ’99 with the back door open. We drank and watched all the stuff fly by.
375
I do have the ‘girl next door’ image.
376
377
I have a lightsaber at my front door for home protection. I have an 800-watt electric skateboard that I use to run errands in my neighborhood. It can go about six, seven miles, so depending on how much time I have, and how much I have to carry home, I’ll take it really far. I love that thing.
378
Depression opens the door to beauty of some kind.
379
I don’t want the IRS banging down my door.
380
I was never the girl next door.
381
I’m not the girl next door.
382
The repressed memory is like a noisy intruder being thrown out of the concert hall. You can throw him out, but he will bang on the door and continue to disturb the concert. The analyst opens the door and says, If you promise to behave yourself, you can come back in.
383
384
385
One of my earliest memories is being inside the recording studio and I see the shadow of a figure that looks an awful lot like Walt Disney. Then the door opened and Mr. Disney walked in and said, ‘Hi Clint.’ I won’t ever forget that.
386
One of my books is a hallucinogen, an aphrodisiac, a mood elevator, an intellectual garage door opener, and a metaphysical trash compactor. They’ll do everything except rotate your tires.
387
388
389
After I started getting criticism for doing ‘Big Brother,’ someone told me that Hugh Downs used to host ‘Concentration‘ and Mike Wallace used to do ‘The Big Surprise.’ I thought, Huh, maybe that door isn’t sealed shut if I want to do ’60 Minutes’ one day.
390
391
There must be no attempts to remain inside the E.U., no attempts to rejoin it through the back door, and no second referendum.
392
I never answer if someone knocks on my door and only the band and my manager have my phone number. In any case my phone doesn’t ring so I never notice it. I occasionally just walk past and pick it up to see if anyone’s there.
393
Let everyone leave all the guns – British guns and Irish guns – outside the door.
394
I am a big believer in women’s lib, but I love when a man holds a door for me.
395
396
Open your refrigerator door, and you summon forth more light than the total amount enjoyed by most households in the 18th century. The world at night, for much of history, was a very dark place indeed.
397
398
The supreme satisfaction is to be able to despise one’s neighbor and this fact goes far to account for religious intolerance. It is evidently consoling to reflect that the people next door are headed for hell.
399
400
401
There was a girl knocking on my hotel room door all night! Finally, I let her out.
402
One of the tough things about being an actor, probably the hardest thing, is getting your foot in the door, and my father handled that for me at a very early age.
403
404
Education is the key to unlock the golden door of freedom.
405
I don’t have wild dogs chasing people with scripts away from my door. I get my share. I’ve done okay. But I usually do independent stuff because that’s mostly what I’m offered.
406
If you’re a juvenile delinquent today, you’re a hacker. You live in your parent’s house; they haven’t seen you for two months. They put food outside your door, and you’re shutting down a government of a foreign country from your computer.
407
I’ve had my share of villains and played some fairly nasty characters. But I’ve been acting for so long. I started out as the girl next door. Now I’m the grandmother next door.
408
If you needed to borrow a cup of sugar, you knocked on your neighbour’s door.
409
410
Fortunately, now I’ve got myself in a position where things are about story and not money. In my earlier career, it was more about getting my foot in the door and to get enough money to live, to be perfectly honest.
411
If you’re walking with your lady on the sidewalk, I still like to see a man walking street-side, to protect the lady from traffic. I grew up with that, and I hate to see something like that get lost. I still like to see that a man opens the door. I like those touches of chivalry that are fast disappearing.
412
413
I did some plays in high school. Yes. Never took it that seriously. My parents, however, wanted me to go to college. My grades weren’t exactly spectacular so they figured acting might be a necessary back door into some school.
414
When you have less revenue coming in the door, you have more money going out the door. You have to find ways of trimming.
415
416
There are a lot of actresses out there who are the girl next door. I relate more to characters who have an edge.
417
I once spent a spent a summer selling encyclopedias door to door.
418
Don Rickles and I are best friends. I know that might seem strange to those who know Don only by reputation, but somebody has to be his friend. Just to make sure I don’t forget, Don gave me a doormat that sits just outside the front door of my house. It reads: ‘The Newharts: The Rickleses Best Friends.’
419
Sundays in France have a different atmosphere to other days, with fewer phone calls, no postman, no delivery men and no one banging on the door.
420
421
The door of conciliation and compromise is finally closed by our adversaries, and it remains only to us to meet the conflict with the dignity and firmness of men worthy of freedom.
422
I don’t see my show as a stepping stone to something else like some people, who get a job then have a foot out the door looking for their next job.
423
424
My door is open.
425
If a man can… make a better mousetrap, the world will make a beaten path to his door.
426
427
428
Think about the comfortable feeling you have as you open your front door. That’s but a hint of what we’ll feel some day on arriving at the place our Father has lovingly and personally prepared for us in heaven. We will finally – and permanently – be ‘at home’ in a way that defies description.
429
Obedience opens the door to the constant companionship of the Holy Ghost. And the spiritual gifts and abilities activated by the power of the Holy Ghost enable us to avoid deception – and to see, to feel, to know, to understand, and to remember things as they really are.
430
No one knows what goes on behind any front door.
431
When a man understands the art of seeing, he can trace the spirit of an age and the features of a king even in the knocker on a door.
432
Stanley Kubrick‘s ‘2001’ was the door that opened up the possibility of science fiction for me. Everything else up to then was fine, but didn’t quite work for me.
433
I’m the guy everybody wanted to live next door. They just didn’t want me to be prime minister.
434
435
I love baseball, and the door remains open.
436
437
An unlocked door means that, occasionally, you might get a devil come in, but a locked door means you have thousands of angels just walk by.
438
439
When a door closes, if you look long enough and hard enough, if you’re strong enough, you’ll find a window that opens.
440
441
I feel like every time a door is opened by science, suddenly there are a hundred doors that need to get opened. That’s what makes it an everlasting, interesting experience to go through.
442
443
444
Then, I realized that there is an indigenous presence in the Solar System. It’s us. So, then, I got to wondering what would happen if a more technologically advanced society moved next door to us, the way we moved next door to the American Indians.
445
If businesses don’t know from state to state what the requirements are for taxes, they have to waste a lot of money on accountants and lawyers before deciding to expand their business into the state next door.
446
My Mother was a very wild Australian woman. When we were in Africa she could kill a snake with one blow from a crow bar, which she kept at the back door.
447
Your connections might get you in the door, but it won’t keep you there. And if you haven’t prepared, you’ll suck.
448
449
450
451
It’s like an OCD thing, it’s not as much something I enjoy. If I see a chapstick that I’ve never tried, I have to buy it. And then once that door’s been opened, I have to check the whole store to see if there are more chapsticks that I don’t have.
452
I’m a private person, but I don’t feel afraid to walk out of my door or anything. I get recognised occasionally, but not overwhelmingly so.
453
454
If Bret went in there and stunk the place out, then they probably wouldn’t have brought the little brother in. So just by being successful himself, it opened the door for me.
455
If the grace of God miraculously operates, it probably operates through the subliminal door.
456
I’m from Texas and grew up in the South. Very old-school and traditional. Married, had a kid. Suit and tie. The guy next door.
457
Access is vital in lobbying. If you can’t get in your door, you can’t make your case.
458
I was living in New York City and flat broke. My next door neighbor was an actor and he always seemed to be having more fun than I was. He convinced me to give acting a shot, but because of my shyness I was sure it would be a lost cause.
459
There are certain things you learn to do as a parent – using every single part of your body because you’re multitasking all the time. You’re holding the baby and you’re closing the door with your left foot.
460
I feel like it’s social media that’s opened that door. We’re able to accumulate and generate our own fan base. Once we do that and put our own work in, labels take notice that we have our own following.
461
I want to get into producing. I really learned a lot from ‘Girls Next Door.’ Kevin Burns is a great producer. He’s really talented, and he taught me a lot. I’m just looking forward to spreading the wings a little bit. Five seasons on ‘Girls Next Door’ was great, but it gets a little repetitive.
462
I broke my ankle ten years ago so high heels are not an option unless I’m literally going door to door for a function.
463
464
465
All great deeds and all great thoughts have a ridiculous beginning. Great works are often born on a street corner or in a restaurant’s revolving door.
466
I’ve always loved music, but I never really played anything. After ‘Walk the Line’ and learning to play guitar, and having that sense of performing, I think that certainly opened the door for me, for music.
467
But certainly in my grandmother’s time – and when I was growing up, yeah, Demetrie’s bathroom was on the side of the house, it was a separate door. Still, to this day, I’ve never been in that room.
468
469
There are so many people, deaf or otherwise abled, who are so talented but overlooked or not given a chance to even get their foot in the door.
470
You know those movies where the people in the audience are screaming, ‘Don’t go in that door!’ because you know the killer is there? Well, it is the same thing with this debt. We know how this ends.
471
472
In an environment where you’ve got to push innovations out the door fast and keep the cost of innovation low, the probability that you’ll be successful is actually much higher.
473
I always play the sweet girl next door.
474
I know there are people, if I go into a market or a city for the first time, there are people that are there that just want to see the famous person, or the guy from ‘Dumb and Dumber‘ or whatever movie they liked. And that’s fine, it gets them in the door, but then it’s my job to give them something different.
475
476
I’m afraid I am tidy, and I have to be because the office is open plan and my glass office door is literally always open.
477
478
Darkness is the only path to light. It is not our wonderful gifts that make us closer to God: it’s using our garbage to transform ourselves. This is the key that unlocks the door that opens to God.
479
480
481
I can’t even walk out the door without, even to go to the race track, without my MAC lip gloss.
482
I used to get nervous just going to the stage door, seeing people waiting to talk to me. I was afraid of being caught out in some way or not being right.
483
484
485
486
Pat Riley, Dave Checketts and Ernie Grunfeld – they brought the Knicks back to the glory days. It started with Rick Pitino. We took our first step with him, making the playoffs. When Pat came in we just kicked the door open.
487
488
Don’t ever slam a door, you might want to go back.
489
When you’ve got four people to get dressed to get out the door you don’t really spend a lot of time on yourself. But that’s the way I roll anyway. I was never one to do my hair and make-up just to go to the market, so it’s not that much different. If I get a little eye cream on, I feel I’m ahead of myself.
490
Tulsa was the kind of place where you could go to any door and borrow a cup of sugar. Everybody knew everybody. Truthfully, I don’t even remember dealing with any racism in our town; we all got along.
491
492
493
I’m very down-to-earth and approachable, and I can be one of the guys and watch sports… I like to cook – I’m like the girl next door.
494
495
There is always one moment in childhood when the door opens and lets the future in.
496
Knowledge of what is does not open the door directly to what should be.
497
It’s easy to be a tough guy when no one’s going to come knocking on your door.
498
499
If I go on dates, my mom is always with me. She’s always there making sure I’m all right. Like if I go to see a movie with a boy, she’ll go to dinner next door.
500
501
When I was young, all the politicians looked like ancient Latin teachers or greengrocers. They were mumbly, stumbly men with their hair blowing in their eyes, walking into trees, opening the wrong door. They had no idea how to present themselves.
502
The Internet is a wonderful thing, but it opens the door to many crimes, so you have to stay ahead of it.
503
It is sometimes the man who opens the door who is the last to enter the room.
504
505
When you go through a long illness, certainly one of cancer, there’s a certain release from it and relief that it has come to an end, because the suffering can be unbearable, as opposed to an abrupt stop to life when they go out the door and there’s a loved one who never comes home because of some accident.
506
Technology has already opened the door a bit wider for filmmakers, with smaller digital cameras making production less cumbersome. Social media is allowing self-distribution, and girl groups like Spark Summit are leading the way in calling for fewer Photoshop image alterations of girls in print media.
507
The doctor must have put my pacemaker in wrong. Every time my husband kisses me, the garage door goes up.
508
My second job has been to try to use my power to create institutions of a modern state that could enter the European Union, and there was very little time. The door was closing, and I wanted to get Bosnia through before it shut.
509
Movies are open doors, and at every door, I change character and life.
510
When I first got to New York, all I did was musicals. After a few years I had to make a conscious choice to close the door on musicals, because I was getting pigeon-holed as a musical theater performer.
511
I was smart enough to go through any door that opened.
512
When the Tea Party comes to town, compromise goes out the door.
513
514
515
I always consider Shakespeare like a huge room. I mean, you open the door, and you can go anywhere.
516
517
Run for the door if a guy has too much gel in his hair and is too tan and it’s not even summer.
518
I come from an Italian family. One of the greatest and most profound expressions we would ever use in conversations or arguments was a slamming door. The slamming door was our punctuation mark.
519
I’m spending way too much time test running my Vine videos. I’ll go into a room and close the door and be in there for an hour workshopping a Vine video that I never even post. So that’s probably a huge time suck.
520
I write while my son is at school. At about 7:45 A.M., I walk him there, with the dogs, then walk them for another forty minutes or so, go home and chain myself to the desk a little before 9 A.M., and try not to be distracted until I hear my son plunge through the front door at about 3 P.M.
521
If you want to become fully mature in the Lord, you must learn to love truth. Otherwise, you will always leave open a door of deception for the enemy to take what is meant to be yours.
522
523
Everybody needs his memories. They keep the wolf of insignificance from the door.
524
I would think that other people could see if you had other talents. I grew and expanded from the Elly May role. I was doing real estate and personal appearances and kept my foot in the door.
525
My live sound does not work in the studio, which is a completely different animal. Every little thing is detrimental to the sound. And if someone moves a mic, you’ve lost it. It’s pretty much a case of ‘lock the door and set up a police line.’
526
I have had the greatest respect for the institution of the Supreme Court. I have always believed it to be the last bastion of hope, particularly for the weak and the oppressed who knock at its door for the protection of their rights, often against a powerful executive.
527
A college degree is the key to realizing the American dream, well worth the financial sacrifice because it is supposed to open the door to a world of opportunity.
528
Well, that is very imperative to let North Korea open door to outside.
529
530
It’s time to stop thinking of the Republican Party as an exclusive club where your ideological card is checked at the door, and start thinking about how we can attract more solution-based leaders like Nathan Fletcher and Anthony Adams.
531
Looking long term, a stronger, wealthier, and more stable Central America next door benefits the United States‘ own safety, security, and economy.
532
A lot of people give up, but you can’t stop me. If you close the door, I’ll just jump out the window.
533
534
Local businesses have never had a great way to get customers in the door.
