Going back into the history of a word, very often into Latin, we come back pretty commonly to pictures or models of how things happen or are done.

Doing those costume pictures was wonderful.

If you take the ’70s with Blaxploitation pictures, there was a proliferation of black-content films and motion pictures, television, stage plays and so forth at a time when Hollywood was in trouble financially, and it was cheaper to do black films to keep the lights on until they could reestablish themselves.

Make no mistake: Bob Ritchie‘s up early in the morning taking pictures of his son on the first day of his senior year. Kid Rock is passed out in a hotel room somewhere with four scantily-clad women.

34
I guess there was a little bit of a slight rebellion, maybe a little bit of a renegade desire that made me realize at some point in my adolescence that I really liked pictures that told stories of things – genre paintings, historical paintings – the sort of derivatives we get in contemporary society.
35
36
At the prom, you are more about boys thinking you’re cute. On the red carpet, you have to please everyone because there are a lot more people looking at those pictures.
37
I sometimes make pictures which are not up to my standard, but then it can only be said of a mediocrity that all his work is up to his standard.
38
I never had any interest in sitcoms or motion pictures or anything like that.
39
I use every single thing that Alfred Hitchcock taught me in my acting career… I am very grateful for the education he gave me in making motion pictures.

41
42
I just say I’m an artist who works with pictures and words.
43
44
45
If the paying public demands naturalistic art, then an artist can use his skills to produce such pictures – but these are to be clearly distinguished from the artist’s own art.
46
47
People do that on Facebook and it’s the dumbest thing in the world. I don’t care what your dinner looks like. Stop cluttering up the Internet with pictures of your dinner.

I like to come into my workspace and feel it’s a living environment and not frozen, which is why I often change or add to the pictures on the wall.

I’m so lucky because I get to have all of these memories. I can have all of those pictures and different sorts of films and stuff. Some people have only one photo, and I’m really glad that I have all of that.
62
It’s hard to understand why just walking around for two hours and taking pictures would be just a big deal, but once you try it, you’ll fall in love with it.
63
Take a random selection of photographs of America in 2012 and 2002 and 1992 and, except for the skinny jeans and the porkpie hats, you’ll be hard-pressed to tell the years in which the pictures were taken.

People want to act like they know celebrities. They want to see pictures. They want to know where you’re going. They want to hear you talk about your family.
69
70
71
Pictures of entire lives, of the choices that people make and how those choices work out for them, those pictures are almost impossible to get.
72
To me, cinema is not a movie or a TV screen, and it’s not a seat in a building versus one in your living room. It’s the art of motion pictures.
73
The movies that influenced me were movies that told their stories through pictures more than words.
74
75
76
What’s happened with computer technology is perfectly timed for someone with my set of skills. I tell stories with pictures. What I love about CGI is that if I can think it, it can be put on the screen.
77
Yes, I receive fan mail. One of my favorite things to do is sit down and read the letters people write. It’s really amazing the time people take to write these letters, tell their stories, draw pictures, etc.
78
Sometimes in news photography and so on, the pictures are a little bit dry, and put on the page and just set in a journalistic way in front of you.
79
The trailblazers are my role models in this industry: Sidney Poitier, Harry Belafonte, James Earl Jones, and Billy Dee Williams. I keep their pictures in my trailer and try to measure to their standards every time I act.
80
At 25, I had lost my job due to the economy, and my family wanted me to become a policeman or firefighter, but I knew there were other things out there for me. I sent some pictures to New York City and a model agency called and said, ‘Where have you been?’
81
82
83
I just have friends that don’t sell their pictures to newspapers.
84
85
I want to paint big, bright, optimistic pictures of the place I love.
86
Those who decide to use leisure as a means of mental development, who love good music, good books, good pictures, good plays, good company, good conversation – what are they? They are the happiest people in the world.
87
I’m interested in painting the most beautifully compelling pictures and images and metaphors and stories and explanations possible that will put Jesus in language for a world that desperately needs to hear it.
88
89
Marks on paper are free – free speech – press – pictures all go together I suppose.
90
91
Pictures can be devastating. Who allowed John Kerry to get himself photographed windsurfing in a flowered swimsuit? Anyone in the real world in that operation?
92
Words and pictures can work together to communicate more powerfully than either alone.
93
94
The combination of pictures and words together can be really effective, and I began to realise in my career that unless I wrote my own words, then my message was diluted.
95
96
However spontaneous I hope a photograph will look, I always put a lot of thought into how I can make it happen. The very best pictures are the most relaxed, so a lot of fussing around technically can completely break the spell, and everyone freezes up with nerves.
97
I just love taking pictures.
98
99
100
The more pictures you see, the better you are as a photographer.
101
102
I’ve always painted or drawn pictures or taken still photographs; now I shoot movies. It’s just about making images, really.
103
Looking back at my earlier pictures, I think that the work is very much coming from the same place. I have gone through a period of challenging myself with a complicated idea to currently challenging myself with the idea of simplicity.
104
105
106
I’m a storyteller. I love to tell stories about brands. I love to tell stories, period. I like painting pictures through the words, and that’s what I do.
107
108
During the Cold War, we gathered information by listening to the Soviets, taking pictures of the Soviets, and we allowed our human intelligence to decline.
109
110
I can paint pictures, but I cannot rule men.
111
112
113
114
115
Gen Y is really quite distinct from Gen X; it’s really self-involved and very narcissistic – their cameras are filled with pictures of themselves; Facebook, it’s about me. It’s a generation that’s been pampered by their parents and their schools, given prizes for just taking part.
116
Going into a shoot not fully knowing what I want to do – that excitement, that thing that happens, is just so powerful and makes such great pictures.
117
After I sold my screenplay adaptation of ‘Rain Fall’ to Sony Pictures, I had no more creative involvement.
118
119
By and large, the making of motion pictures is all about, ‘Let’s ratchet it up.’ And I always think, ‘We don’t need to ratchet this up.’ If you do, don’t call it ‘Captain Phillips’ or ‘The Maersk Alabama.’ Call it something else, and then you have carte blanche to do anything, down to sea serpents and aliens.
120
My vanity is not dead. I laugh when I see pictures of myself as I am now-maybe so I won’t cry, but just because it is really funny how much I’ve changed.
121
122
We’re trying to get good pictures. Don’t worry very much about what I say.
123
There are some people who become best friends with everyone they photograph. There are people that I really like and admire and respect, but in a way I think it’s better to keep a distance. I think you get better pictures of people that you don’t know very well.
124
125
It was 1966 by the time I started taking pictures seriously and books, newspapers and magazines of the time were full of great pictures that helped to inspire me.
126
The idea of bringing color into the Super Brow collection was really inspired by seeing all our fans and followers posting colorful eyebrow pictures using our liquid lipsticks. I think that’s really cool because you know, the formula, although it’s not designed for the eye, it can work on an eyebrow.
127
The pictures are created by the listener, with a little help from the broadcaster. The pictures are perfect. If you’re showing pictures, different things in that picture can distract from the spoken word.
128
There are some women who have made some really hurting remarks about my relationship with my husband Himanshu Malhotra. They even dared to ask me if I have divorced him just because I don’t put my pictures with him too often. Now that is really ridiculous!
129
I’m an incurable romantic, and Casablanca‘s one of the most romantic pictures I’ve ever seen – the combination of Bogart and Bergman is just magical.
130
131
132
133
Why take notes? The obvious reason is to remember. Visual note-taking translates what we hear into pictures that give context, color, and meaning. By adding symbols, visual metaphors, likenesses of people, and room layouts, we add several dimensions.
134
135
136
I only storyboard scenes that require special effects, where it is necessary to communicate through pictures.
137
It doesn’t matter if you can’t speak the same language. If you have pictures, or better still, if you can draw things, then you can communicate anything to anyone.
138
I began my career creating art for an animated feature film, and it has been a life-long dream to tell some of the story of my own life – the story behind my art – through the medium of motion pictures.
139
140
Sometimes I think all my pictures are just pictures of me.
141
142
My worst hairstyle was a bowl cut parted down the middle. It was the ’90s. It was what you did. I had that from 4th grade until freshman year in high school. I’m glad the pictures exist. I had great hair back then.
143
144
The designs of the paper euros, introduced in 2002, proclaim a utopian aspiration. Gone are the colorful bills of particular nations, featuring pictures of national heroes of statecraft, culture and the arts, pictures celebrating unique national narratives. With the euro, 16 nations have said goodbye to all that.
145
If a man wants to be an artist, he must never look at pictures.
146
Treat your friends as you do your pictures, and place them in their best light.
147
As long as the world continues to be strange and interesting, I still want to take pictures of it.
148
149
I still love taking pictures with Polaroid film. For me, it offers the most beautiful way of capturing reality and transferring it onto a flat piece of paper.
150
I’ve come up through art school, through painting, through graphic design, through advertising, through TV commercials and music video. I’ve designed books, built billboards, matchbooks, corporate identities. I continuously paint, I’ve done conceptual art pictures.
151
I want the pictures to be working in both directions. I accept that they speak about me, and yet at the same time, I want and expect them to function in terms of the viewer and their experience.
152
I like to read and write and take pictures and bike.
153
I don’t know why people are so obsessed with finding out stuff before the movie comes out. It’s so much more fun to just go. I mean, I don’t do that. I don’t go looking for stuff that I’m interested in, you know, to try and find out pictures and what the movie’s about. It’s so much more fun to be surprised.
154
The present moment is changing so fast that we often do not notice its existence at all. Every moment of mind is like a series of pictures passing through a projector. Some of the pictures come from sense impressions. Others come from memories of past experiences or from fantasies of the future.
155
156
157
I can’t talk about every single film I made. It’s not my way to go back into the past and to look at my old pictures and to discuss them.
158
159
Romance and novel paint beauty in colors more charming than nature, and describe a happiness that humans never taste. How deceptive and destructive are those pictures of consummate bliss!
160
The Sennett system of making pictures was actually fun. You never knew what the person next to you was going to do.
161
162
My mom is still yelling at me because she needs more autographed pictures.
163
When I look back at those pictures of my mother performing – and listen to her recordings – it makes me sad to think that all of that joy she found in her work came to an end. I wish she hadn’t had to make that sacrifice, even if it was for the benefit of my father and siblings and me.
164
You don’t paint pictures to put them in your attic. You want people to look at them.
165
I never seek controversy or foresee it for my pictures. I take a personal stand, and perhaps because my films are on contemporary subjects, people do not share my point of view.
166
167
168
I love filmmaking, and I love the process. And I would rather do nothing else. It’s a privilege to be able to paint such big pictures, so to speak.
169
170
171
172
What I find problematic is the suggestion that when, say, Madonna adopts an African child, she is saving Africa. It’s not that simple. You have to do more than go there and adopt a child or show us pictures of children with flies in their eyes. That simplifies Africa.
173
When you start thinking about taking pictures, sending an e-mail, receiving an e-mail, speaking into your phone and have it transcript voice into text and then sent as an e-mail, it’s mind-boggling.
174
That’s my ambition: that you look at the pictures and realize what complex, fascinating, interesting people every single one of my subjects is.
175
The anarchist painter is not the one who will create anarchist pictures, but the one who will fight with all his individuality against official conventions.
176
Unfortunately, I’m not one of those people who take pictures, you know, carry a camera. Because if I did I’d have stack‘s and stack’s and stack’s of different act’s. I got a lot here – I know what I done.
177
178
179
I don’t remember taking pictures with eighty percent of the people that I have taken pictures with.
180
A book and a movie are different animals. You need a cinematic perspective to be involved in the motion pictures. And this is something I lack.
181
182
183
MySpace is like a bar, Facebook is like the BBQ you have in your back yard with friends and family, play games, share pictures. Facebook is much better for sharing than MySpace. LinkedIn is the office, how you stay up to date, solve professional problems.
184
Ford made some of the most progressive pictures.
185
Pictures are so good at giving people information that they’re not looking for.
186
In my eyes, Twitter is not just about posting pictures of the clothes you wear. It’s about connection with people who reach out to you, too.
187
188
Believe me, I don’t like being photographed. I don’t like myself in pictures. Actually, I do sometimes.
189
There was a French singer, Francoise Hardy – I used to look at her pictures and try to dress like her.
190
So slowly in my mind formed the idea of melodrama, a form I found to perfection in American pictures. They were naive, they were that something completely different. They were completely Art-less.
191
A thing that you see in my pictures is that I was not afraid to fall in love with these people.
192
193
A lot of people just go to movies that feed into their preexisting and not so noble needs and desires: They just go to action pictures, and things like that.
194
195
I love taking pictures. I’m always the one with the camera!
196
When you are little, you will draw pictures for no reason.
197
Entertainment is in art like color in pictures.
198
199
200
I wish I had never taken naked pictures of myself on a phone to send to a girl. It’s the worst thing ever.
201
The funny thing is musicians often love to go to see visual art because you’ve got all these pictures to turn into metaphors.
202
203
Like most people – unless they’re very practised at it or have no warm blood at all in their veins – I feel a little apprehensive about the red carpet. It’s always a bit bewildering when people are taking pictures and asking questions before the ceremony.
204
After 87 pictures in 47 years, I knew when to quit.
205
What ends up in your scrapbook? The pictures where you look like a good guy and a good family man, and the children look adorable – and they’re screaming the next minute. I’ve never seen a family album of screaming people.
206
207
208
It sort of filtered into their subconscious through motion pictures, but it’s an historical secret. This – whatever this is – needs to be studied and, in a kind of definitive way, talked about.
209
I remember when I was starting out as a young actress, thinking, ‘Oh my God, I have the fattest face.’ Now I look at those pictures and I think, ‘So much collagen!’
210
211
Anna Wintour doesn’t deal with pictures; she is just doing PR and business, and she scares everybody.
212
Facebook and pictures on the Internet have created such a different way of dating. It’s not necessarily good because an obsessive quality can develop in people.
213
I have a fat head – I get freaked-out looking at pictures of me.
214
215
Repetitiveness is one of the things that’s most difficult to get away from in genre pictures, because people come specifically to see certain kinds of things but get disappointed if they’re presented in the same way. So to try to find a new way to show old stuff is always the challenge.
216
I hate it when people come up to me on trains and ask ‘Are you Soulja Boy?’ If people want pictures or autographs, that’s cool, but I don’t like the dumb questions.
217
218
My mind sort of works like a search engine. You ask me something, and I start seeing pictures.
219
220
221
222
223
224
We had many books and pictures… my parents’ way of life doubtless left a lasting impression on me. They created an atmosphere in which a certain kind of freedom could exist. This may well account for my seeking a related sense of liberty as I grew up.
225
It’s a little weird exchanging pictures for money. You know what I mean. It makes me a little uncomfortable.
226
I was fascinated by my own prom pictures.
227
228
229
230
I went around the corner to motion pictures.
231
Well, it takes a certain amount of money. And I’ve got to see pictures of the person ahead of time. If I don’t like the way the person looks I won’t do it.
232
233
234
Now, what does an actor who can’t talk do? Wait for silent pictures to come back?
235
It’s too bad for us ‘literary‘ enthusiasts, but it’s the truth nevertheless – pictures tell any story more effectively than words.
236
237
238
One of the most important things about the geology on the moon is your descriptions of what you see, comparing them to things that you’ve seen on Earth so that the geologists and the scientists on the ground would know what you’re talking about; and then take pictures of them.
239
It really just gives you a sense of when you need to have dialogue and when you don’t, and if your pictures are telling the story, you don’t need to have all this talking.
240
I think a woman can have all of the ideas and mental pictures. She can be a real planner and a motivator. But in the end, I think a woman does best when she responds to a man.
241
All pictures are unnatural. All pictures are sad because they’re about dead people. Paintings you don’t think of in a special time or with a specific event. With photos I always think I’m looking at something dead.
242
Ted Williams is one of the best hitters ever to play the game, and I didn’t get a chance to see him play, so all I could do was read books and look at pictures.
243
I love the interplay between words and pictures. I love the fact that in comics, your pictures are acting like words, presenting themselves to be read.
244
I don’t think of myself as an illustrator. I think of myself as a cartoonist. I write the story with pictures – I don’t illustrate the story with the pictures.
245
246
When you start writing a picture book, you have to write a manuscript that has enough language to prompt the illustrator to get his or her gears running, but then you end up having to cut it out because you don’t want any of the language to be redundant to the pictures that are being drawn.
247
It draws you in and creates pictures, so what I do is almost like a talking story book.
248
249
250
There’s a good many pictures I’d like to make; we’ll see how many I’ll be allowed to make.
251
Where I came from, the idea of going into show business was just ridiculous; in fact I didn’t tell anybody because I knew people would laugh at me. So I sort of snuck around and got some pictures and got a resume together and, of course, lied and said I did all kinds of things I didn’t do.
252
A good picture book should have events that are visually arresting – the pictures should call attention to what is happening in the story.
253
I take a lot of pictures.
254
255
I personally have gone to photo shoots and see the pictures afterwards, and I don’t look like me because I’m just so airbrushed and so, kind of, fake and almost plastic-looking, you know?
256
257
I’m into horror pictures because I love the fear of being alone in the dark, and I’d recommend that to any composer who wants to work in this genre.
258
259
260
261
Like lots of baby boomers, I was brought up on archaic anthropomorphism. Upstanding Christian dogs. Rabbits with family values. Because the ancient texts and pictures were sacred – Potter, Milne and the rest. Even concerned parents who knew Freud and Jung never saw the contradictions in feeding us on them.
262
I think people remember pictures not dialogue. That’s why I like pictures.
263
I like to make pictures about people who make a difference.
264
I love this life. I feel like I am always catching my breath and saying, ‘Oh! Will you look at that?’ Photography has been my way of bearing witness to the joy I find in seeing the extraordinary in ordinary life. You don’t look for pictures. Your pictures are looking for you.
265
266
I look at my pictures, and I think, ‘Well, how did I do that?’
267
A strange thing is memory, and hope; one looks backward, and the other forward; one is of today, the other of tomorrow. Memory is history recorded in our brain, memory is a painter, it paints pictures of the past and of the day.
268
269
Video is a funny thing. It’s one thing to be an artist, singer-songwriter, and use words and create pictures in people’s minds. And then be asked to do video for it, to actually give a certain visual for your song.
270
I foresaw the financial crisis. I get messages in my sleep, in pictures and words. I understood that I have a mission and a role in ensuring human existence. I received a message that people would soon start to go crazy.
271
Paramount Pictures is a perfect partner for Electric Entertainment, with the most stable group of executives in Hollywood and unparalleled global promotion and distribution reach.
272
The Real is ever-present, like the screen on which the cinematographic pictures move. While the picture appears on it, the screen remains invisible. Stop the picture, and the screen will become clear. All thoughts and events are merely pictures moving on the screen of Pure Consciousness, which alone is real.
273
This camera works like photosynthesis. It is as if you were Xeroxing your own face. The pictures have such physicality: their surface is like fine leather, stained from chemicals. Each one has a body and is more than an image.
274
275
You don’t make pictures for Oscars.
276
277
278
The picture surface recedes just as much in the 20th century as it did in the 15th. The techniques of making pictures have hardly changed.
279
I’d love to do historical pictures more, but I don’t know if I can.
280
281
My style of songwriting is influenced by cinema. I’m a frustrated filmmaker. A fan once said to me, ‘Girl, you make me see pictures in my head!’ and I took that as a great compliment. That’s exactly my intention.
282
He was so excited. He cut out pictures of these landscapes and neighborhoods and kind of really tried to give you a feel of the movie. It was kind of cute but at the same time it really showed his enthusiasm for it.
283
‘Just looking at pictures’ used to be considered cheating. No longer. The graphic novel is booming. Comics, heavily illustrated texts, books with no words are now accepted as reading.
284
A picture is worth a thousand words. An interface is worth a thousand pictures.
285
I see pictures of myself and I always knew that what I was feeling didn’t look like that guy in the pictures.
286
Girls have always read comics. There’s nothing intrinsically masculine about telling stories with pictures.
287
When you look at my pictures, you are seeing my life.
288
The secret of all effective advertising is not the creation of new and tricky words and pictures, but one of putting familiar words and pictures into new relationships.
289
I’ve seen inside fans’ houses, and they would have pictures of Jesus on the wall, and next to it would be a picture of The Rock ‘n’ Roll Express. That’s no lie.
290
291
292
Treat your friends as you do your best pictures, and place them in their best light.
293
294
I wanted to make pictures where you would not know who took them. I also bring the present into the past.
295
296
That’s the thing about pictures: they seduce you.
297
I’m even embarrassed at times when my friends come upon my pictures.
298
My parents wouldn’t let me shave it earlier, so I made a PowerPoint presentation to convince them. I strategically put pictures of bald women in there.
299
I sometimes like the pictures photographers take of me.
300
I’m really looking forward to playing in Copenhagen again. Last time I stayed as long as I could, took pictures, signed autographs, and hung out until they through me out of the place!
301
Pictures have a lot more power than text. Text is just a bunch of little symbols. You have to actually read it and imagine it, and even that can be censored. With pictures, it’s a lot more immediate.
302
I want a nice picture book with 12 pictures – I do my best with that format.
303
I fall asleep everywhere! Someone recently asked if they could publish a book of pictures of me sleeping because there are so many.
304
305
I go and see anything that’s visually new, any technology that’s about picture-making. The technology won’t make the pictures different, but someone using it will.
306
You can make a board for all the goals you want in your life with the pictures on it, and that’s great, daydreaming is wonderful, but you can never plan your future.
307
! discovered photography completely by chance. My wife is an architect; when we were young and living in Paris, she bought a camera to take pictures of buildings. For the first time, I looked through a lens – and photography immediately started to invade my life.
308
309
I don’t want to be a silly temptress. I cannot see any sense in getting dressed up and doing nothing but tempting men in pictures.
310
One of things I like about looking at pictures when you’re young and also meeting back with old friends you haven‘t seen in a long time is, for me, it’s a glimpse of who I was.
311
I didn’t look at any of the newspapers, I look at the pictures sometimes, but apart from that I don’t read them.
312
The press is just not your friend when it comes to a marriage. That’s why we didn’t sell the pictures of our wedding, and we got offered millions of dollars for them, millions.
313
I had always loved John Ford’s pictures. And I came to love him, too, but I was frightened to death working for him. He used the shock treatment while directing me.

There’s a sadness to the human condition that I think music is good for. It gives a counterpoint to the visual beauty, and adds depth to pictures that they wouldn’t have if the music wasn’t there.
315
316
It’s a terrible thing to say I know. I’ve only done what I wanted to do. It’s a real luxury. I only made the pictures I wanted to make and lived in the places I’ve wanted to live. I’m very, very happy.
317
As a kid, I grew up on a farm in Florida, and I did what most little kids do. I played a little baseball, did a few other things like that, but I always had the sense of being an outsider, and it wasn’t until I saw pictures in the magazines that a couple other guys skate, I thought, ‘Wow, that’s for me,’ you know?
318
In a media culture, we not only judge strangers by how they look but by the images of how they look. So we want attractive pictures of our heroes and repulsive images of our enemies.
319
It’s funny looking at yourself. You know how it is when you look back at old pictures? It’s just funny looking back at yourself walking and talking at age 14.
320
But, I would always be thinking of how pictures are constructed and colour, how to use it, I mean you’re using it for constructing, makes you think about it, the place did as well.
321
322
Know what the old masters did. Know how they composed their pictures, but do not fall into the conventions they established. These conventions were right for them, and they are wonderful. They made their language. You make yours. All the past can help you.
323
I’m making the art for me first. I’m making it because these are the pictures I want to see. I’m making pictures that don’t yet exist.
324
I used to work at NASA in Virginia. It was nothing glamorous; I was just tasked with making code compile for obscure projects, and I wasn’t very good at it. Now I spend most of my time drawing pictures and looking at funny things on the Internet, which in retrospect is largely what I did at my old job, too.
325
The reason I call my book ‘Irreverent’ is because there were a lot of pictures that were very irreverent. Maybe I could call my book ‘Forgiving‘ because maybe I made a lot of errors, too.
326
327
One of the great things about being a writer/journalist is that my boss loves me to go out and do features on being someone else. I did a feature on Kate Middleton, where I went to an incredible fancy state home in the countryside, put on a wedding dress and posed for engagement pictures with a fake Prince William.
328
329
330
There is nothing that special to see when looking at me. I’m a painter who paints day in day out, from morning till evening – figure pictures and landscapes, more rarely portraits.
331
When your best friend dies, and you’re crying on the balcony, and TMZ is taking pictures of somebody comforting you saying, ‘Ooooo, scandalous‘ – that’s the worst part of fame.
332
Of course, Hollywood is still making some excellent pictures which reflect the great artistry that made Hollywood famous throughout the world, but these films are exceptions, judging from box office returns and press reviews.
333
I believe, even when I’m doing my standup or my acting or whatever I’m doing, I believe in painting pictures.
334
I paint German artists whom I admire. I paint their pictures, their work as painters, and their portraits too. But oddly enough, each of these portraits ends up as a picture of a woman with blonde hair. I myself have never been able to work out why this happens.
335
336
Pictures get manipulated, pictures get dropped into accounts. We’ve asked an internet security firm and a law firm to take a hard look at this to come up with a conclusion about what happened and to make sure it doesn’t happen again.
337
338
You know, as photographers, we do pictures, and people either like them or they hate them.
339
340
To me I’m just a regular person going to the mall with friends, and now I’m in Forever 21 and I see this random group of girls staring at me and taking pictures. But now I usually have my dad, who is a really tall and intimidating person with me, so he’s kind of my bodyguard.
341
The cinema is an institution nowadays, with its roots sunk deep in the hearts of the millions of people who find enjoyment and entertainment in going to the pictures.
342
I like to paint pictures with words, ’cause I can’t draw for anything.
343
344
I was so beautiful but I didn’t realise it for years. I saw pictures of myself and even I was stunned.
345
Of all of our inventions for mass communication, pictures still speak the most universally understood language.
346
347
I have an iPhone, and I can text, and I can use the phone, and I can even take pictures with it.
348
You know it has to do with Kelley and drugs, and me… and there’s like, what is it? I didn’t read it. That’s my thing. That’s what I do, I don’t read things if I don’t think they’re going to be good. I don’t even look at the pictures.
349
Look, at the same time that I don’t want to be a celebrity, I understand that when you make movies you put yourself out in the public eye. I’d be a baby and a fool to be like, ‘Why are there cameras taking pictures of me?’ when I’m on a billboard for a movie. I think that’s a very absurd concept.
350
351
I don’t want the pictures to mean things. But the implication of the image and its relationship to the people that are viewing it is something I’m really interested in.
352
353
The first two pictures I did, I played a young student in prep school. When I did Lifeguard, everyone was saying, You’re so Southern California. It was a surprise to me.
354
355
356
357
358
The pictures are there, and you just take them.
359
You can find pictures anywhere. It’s simply a matter of noticing things and organizing them. You just have to care about what’s around you and have a concern with humanity and the human comedy.
360
361
362
363
364
I am excited to share my archive pictures and footage. I’ll also share announcements about current events and success stories from the Sugar Ray Leonard Foundation to help fight diabetes and child obesity.
365
If people are taking pictures of me at Starbucks, it’s not the end of the world. It’s cool, it’s fun, it’s exciting.
366
I don’t know really. I’ve always been interested in the small picture instead of the big one, and I’ve always been interested in relationship pictures.
367
368
369
370
I love the quality, feel and history of film. I love the pictures of the giant cameras and the way it was.
371
372
373
374
375
376
377
378
379
380
381
382
Look at pictures of me growing up. It wasn’t always the way it is now. It was a bumpy road for me.
383
384
385
If somebody’s looking at pictures of naked people and you go, ‘Oh I don’t want to see that,’ you’re lying. Cause naked people are always interesting. Always. Whether they’re beautiful, or naked or 500 pounds.
386
You must adapt to the situation. This is where the pictures come from.
387
388
I like Instagram – I love pictures, I just don’t take them very often.
389
390
I know I play into that image out there, but I try to say it is a fantasy. I look at my own pictures and wish I could look like that. There are probably five people in this whole entire world who actually look like that.
391
This would be a distortion of their meaning, since the pictures are intimate and intense, and are the opposite of what is decorative; and have been painted in a scale of normal living rather than an institutional scale.
392
393
I always take hundreds and hundreds of pictures. I used to work for ‘National Geographic,’ and they gave us a lot of film.
394
You can’t get any pictures from way back there.
395
396
397
I never want people to be repulsed with my pictures; I always want to attract people.
398
Vietnam is often called our only uncensored war, but that only means that the government wasn’t vetting the pictures and words.
399
400
I always say that I’m an artist who works with pictures and words, so I think that the different aspects of my activity, whether it’s writing criticism, or doing visual work that incorporates writing, or teaching, or curating, is all of a single cloth, and I don’t make any separation in terms of those practices.
401
402
At first, I see pictures of a story in my mind. Then creating the story comes from asking questions of myself. I guess you might call it the ‘what if – what then’ approach to writing and illustration.
403
404
I always feel kind of awkward when I look at pictures of myself. Watching videos of myself is really uncomfortable.
405
‘La Notte’ is my favorite of the Antonioni pictures and my favorite work of the master cinematographer Gianni di Venanzo, who also shot ‘8 1/2’ for Fellini.
406
My mates send me pictures every single night on the Whatsapp group taking the mick out of me. It’s banter, it is what it is. It doesn’t bother me.
407
In the 90’s action pictures were all the rage. As a woman, I was fed up with them and I initially thought that the script was just another action film dressed up as a period piece.
408
409
I fight for the debunking of the artist and an end to individual pictures.
410
411
My son is really good at being on trips with me. He understands what’s going on. He grew up with me modeling, so it’s quite normal for him to be on a shoot and in pictures because he sees me doing it.
412
I love the pictures of Old Hollywood, seeing the directors dressed in suits and ties. Even the grips would be wearing ties. But the biggest thing is when I was a kid, I couldn’t wait to be an adult, and I think what happens with most guys is that no one wants to be an adult anymore. So they’re dressing like kids.
413
It’s so hard to raise money for independent films and the fact of the matter is that the bigger my star or whatever is, as a result of doing bigger pictures, the easier it is for me to get money for my own projects.
414
415
I can’t just wear whatever when I go out because somebody might want to take a picture. People are, like, taking pictures of me in my car when I’m driving. It’s crazy. I kind of hate it sometimes.
416
417
I hate all the old pictures of me before 2010 – and they are always the first ones to come up. That’s why I don’t Google myself, man.
418
I hope that not only my documentaries, but everybody’s documentaries, last. It will really confuse historians in the next century, because they’ll have, in addition to all the print material, they’ll have all these pictures to look at.
419
I don’t make deals, I make pictures.
420
I don’t go out to parties because I’d look terrible in pictures. My escape is television – it’s like meditation to me.
421
422
423
It’s cool when people know you more, but I like people to treat me regular when they see me. I take pictures. I don’t really be big on people looking at me.
424
Fashion pictures show people looking glamorous. Travel pictures show a place looking at its best, nothing to do with the reality. In the cookery pages, the food always looks amazing, right? Most of the pictures we consume are propaganda.
425
But if you’re talking about fine art work, then I think you have to ask yourself some pretty deep questions about why it is you want to take pictures and what it is you want to say.
426
427
I really enjoy the iPad because you can multi-task: I can watch a movie, read, look at pictures that I shot – because I’m into photography. It serves a lot of purposes for me.
428
You earn very little money on independent films and I’m the provider for my home, so I do have to think of taking one for the accountant time and again and that means studio pictures.
429
How many pictures have you torn up because you hate them? What ends up in your scrapbook? The pictures where you look like a good guy and a good family man, and the children look adorable – and they’re screaming the next minute. I’ve never seen a family album of screaming people.
430
I’m an artist who works with pictures and words. Sometimes that stuff ends up in different kinds of sites and contexts which determine what it means and looks like.
431
432
433
I don’t watch the movies I’m in – ever. Sometimes I keep pictures, but that’s it. I used to watch my movies, because I didn’t want to be rude to the people making them, but I stopped a few years ago. I think it’s pretty common among actors. It’s like listening to your own voice, but multiplied by a million.
434
I love a natural look in pictures.
435
My bedroom was plastered with pictures of Van Damme. My mother was worried about me. Most teenage boys have half-naked women on their walls, and I had Jean-Claude.
436
I don’t believe that you can judge the worth of a movie in the atmosphere in which it comes out the first time. There’s just so many reasons why some pictures don’t catch on.
437
People are narcissistically obsessed with taking pictures of everything they eat.
438
439
440
I’m not good at taking pictures. I can’t give a good face. I crack up.
441
442
My memory of those places is better than my pictures. That’s why I get much more satisfaction out of shooting thematic work that has to do with an idea that I’m searching for, or searching to express.
443
444
445
That’s why I never took this business too seriously, thinking I was something special, when I knew the truly great performers in motion pictures. pictures.
446
Nature is not only all that is visible to the eye… it also includes the inner pictures of the soul.
447
448
449
I’ve been taking art lessons since I was little, and I’ve always drawn. I think in pictures.
450
451
I began taking pictures in the natural world to be able to show people what I was experiencing when I climbed and explored in Yosemite in the High Sierra.
452
The thing is that when you don’t carry a camera, that’s when you see pictures in particular, or at least that’s when you think you see pictures in particular. When you do carry it, if you do see one on the occasion that you do, you can take it.
453
454
What I am interested in now is the landscape. Pictures without people. I wouldn’t be surprised if eventually there are no people in my pictures. It is so emotional.
455
Music, architecture and pictures have always been my passions, and all that material wealth has meant for me, is being able to have some of the pictures I liked.
456
I’ve never put myself in the mindset that I’m actually any good at taking pictures, I just love to shoot things that catch my eye, whether it’s landscapes or just my kids.
457
458
An autobiography is not about pictures; it’s about the stories; it’s about honesty and as much truth as you can tell without coming too close to other people’s privacy.
459
Hollywood, what a place it is! It is so far away from the rest of the world, so narrow. No one thinks of anything but motion pictures or talks of anything else.
460
461
462
I think film writing, you’re thinking in pictures, and stage writing, you’re thinking in dialogue. In film writing, it’s also, you only get so many words, so everything has to earn its place in a really economical way. I think for stage writing, you have more leeway.
463
You have to be very, very good looking to get ahead in motion pictures.
464
The scientist-community guy may get a $500,000 grant, and if his equipment works or doesn’t work, he still gets a gold star for doing the science experiment. For me, there is no merit in anything for doing an experiment; I have to go home with pictures.
465
It’s strange for my friends when they see me on TV and in magazines, because the person that they see doing interviews and pictures on the red carpet is not the person that they know.
466
I didn’t try and do fashion pictures. I tried to do portraits of girls wearing dresses.
467
I don’t even know who that person was in the ’80s. I see pictures of myself from back then and I don’t even recognize myself.
468
I just want to make pictures that are entertaining. I’ll leave the scenery chewing to someone else.
469
When I do appearances and stuff and I just wanna see the new pictures, I Google myself.
470
471
People in Hollywood are going make pictures where ever it’s the least expensive to make them.
472
When I first posted pictures of me braless, there were so many different reactions. I could have been frightened and hide, but I didn’t. I wanted people’s prejudices to disappear.
473
474
There’s an incredible fascination for that and that goes with violence and everything else in pictures.
475
I love all of the arts. I love motion pictures. I love stage. I love theater.
476
My ambition was never to make a lot of money. It wasn’t to travel around the world. I was really just struggling to make the best pictures I could make.
477
I’ve always tried to do pictures that don’t date.
478
479
480
481
482
483
A lot of dumb pictures have made a lot of money, but that doesn’t mean they’re going to be anything cinema students will revel over in the future.
484
Being able to do lead roles in pictures or onstage or whatever it is that you’re doing in acting is obviously what you strive for because you want to better yourself as an actor and you want to better yourself as a person as well. But that does come with a lot of responsibility and a great deal of weight.
485
486
If you can’t read, the only thing you can do is enjoy the pictures, not the whole story. Reading is the key to knowledge. Knowledge is the key to understanding. So read on, young man! Read on, young lady!
487
I never think about my style but just try and make the pictures look believable.
488
489
490
The thing that makes a great genre movie is one that’s not just entertainment, not just horror or sci-fi or whatever. The ones I love are the genre pictures with some subversive message underlying it all.
491
The thing is, as a film director, you’re essentially alone: You have to tell a story primarily through pictures, and only you know the film you see in your head.
492
I want my pictures to be things. I want them to be made up of marks that are physically and individually self-sufficient.
493
I’m an amateur photographer, apart from being a professional one, and I think maybe my amateur pictures are the better ones.
494
495
A half dozen pictures would just about be enough for the life of an artist, for my life.
496
The fall of the Berlin Wall makes for nice pictures. But it all started in the shipyards.
497
I’m a very visual person when it comes to writing music. I like to see something besides just a script, even if it’s just a storyboard or pictures from the set.
498
I really don’t like going out anymore. I used to love it, but now it’s not fun. I’d rather have friends come over and hot have to worry about crazy people taking pictures.
499
500
4chan is a framework of pictures and text. I’ve always been extremely hands-off with dictating what gets posted, past general categories and rules. I support providing a place to discuss anything, although I don’t agree with everything that’s posted.
501
502
The artist is an interpreter of Nature. People learn to love Nature through pictures. To the artist, nothing is in vain; nothing beneath his notice. If he is great enough, he will exalt every subject which he treats.
503
504
Lumped in as a hobby, I don’t really like drawing pictures all that much, but thinking of it as work, it’s the greatest.
505
506
I’ve never really been anywhere, and now I get to go everywhere. I just have to make sure there’s enough memory on my computer to hold all my pictures.
507
See I’m used to seeing myself with hair now, so it’s not a big deal. Now when I see pictures of me bald I’m like ‘ew.’ But people are used to seeing me bald so when I’m walking around without the hat on, I see people doing a lot of double takes.
508
Let’s make some funny pictures.
509
If you’re a basketball player and you don’t stop and take pictures with your fans, you can have an amazing game and everyone still loves you.
510
511
I think there are a lot of pictures to make. I sometimes question whether I’m even an artist or just a painter. To me, the making of the pictures is the most important thing.
512
I’ve always loved the Bond pictures. I have watched every single one. Movies don’t get bigger or better than Bond, so I knew this was my opportunity to do a massive action picture with outrageous stunts.
513
I don’t picture myself as a normal person when I play football, and I don’t think anyone else pictures me that way as well.
514
‘Le Reve’ may be one of the three best pictures Pablo Picasso ever painted.
515
516
517
With photography, you are lucky if you get people to look at your pictures at some point. There’s no formal way to show them.
518
519
I think it tends to be overused and can be a little bit gimmicky. A lot of people are using 3-D now because they feel have they have to… that will come and go and the pictures that deserve to be in 3-D will continue to be. When it’s done bad, it can make you carsick.
520
I really did put up all my wedding pictures on my website. And I swear to you, my wedding pictures got downloaded just as much as my bikini pictures.
521
It’s not a natural translation, transition, to take something from stage to screen. Onstage your action is communicated through the spoken word primarily, and on screen it’s communicated through pictures. So it’s always been kind of unnatural to take something that lives on the stage and turn it into moving pictures.
522
I chose makeup over photography because there was something very sensual about makeup that I loved. But photography was always in the back of my mind. That was always something that I was very connected with: looking at magazines, enjoying photography, and then taking pictures myself when I was a kid.
523
It is not important to make many pictures but that I have one picture right.
524
I certainly knew from an early age… how to tell stories; how to create pictures in other people’s heads.
525
I remember the first time seeing myself on TV, when my family was watching the documentary ‘Eyes on the Prize’ for the first time. There were pictures of people going up the school stairs, and Mom said, ‘Oh, that’s you!’ I said, ‘I can’t believe this. This is important.’
526
Television isn’t inherently good or bad. You go to a bookstore, there are how many thousands of books, but how many of those do you want? Five? Television’s the same way. If you’re going to show people stuff, television is the way to go. Words and pictures show things.
527
I went from a guy, kind of a working actor, a supporting player, to magazine covers and being offered the studio pictures really quickly. Nobody was comfortable with it. I wasn’t really comfortable with it.
528
529
I breeze through Twitter – I look at the mentions, the pictures, the videos.
530
Painters aren’t expected to paint bleak pictures, are they?
531
532
One of the things that wrong with pictures today, I think, is that so many of the people making them started out wanting to.
533
Picture books are for everybody at any age, not books to be left behind as we grow older. The best ones leave a tantalising gap between the pictures and the words, a gap that is filled by the reader’s imagination, adding so much to the excitement of reading a book.
534
If there is any jarring at all in my photographs, it’s because we are so used to ingesting pictures of everywhere looking beautiful.
535
536
537
When we talk about how movies used to be made, it was over 100 years of film, literal, physical film, with emulsion, that we would expose to light and we would get pictures.
538
I am happy for people to talk about my pictures, but I wish devoutly that I was not expected to talk about them myself.
539
Carnegie Hall is as good as they say it is. It’s not like Stonehenge which looks great in books but then you go there and it’s a pile of rocks next to a highway. There’s actually a highway right next to it, but you don’t see that in pictures.
540
What excites me about picture books is the gap between pictures and words. Sometimes the pictures can tell a slightly different story or tell more about the story, about how someone is thinking or feeling.
541
If your pictures aren’t good enough, you aren’t close enough.
542
543
544
No one ever recognises me. Everyone says, ‘You don’t look like your pictures.’
545
My painting is visible images which conceal nothing… they evoke mystery and indeed when one sees one of my pictures, one asks oneself this simple question ‘What does that mean’? It does not mean anything, because mystery means nothing either, it is unknowable.
546
547
Language for me narrates the pictures in my mind.
548
549
I do stupid stuff like that: I’ll call my wife from the road, send her pictures of glaciers.
550
551
When I buy a Nikon camera, I have no tolerance for the instructions. I’m ready to make some mistakes using it and get some bad pictures back until I’ve figured it out for myself.
552
553
554
555
556
I just spend my life studying the manufacture of sound and picture and my education, if you like, has come from what I’ve chosen to make sounds and pictures on.
557
I have a big box of autographs. I took photographs of me and Marlene Dietrich, me and Ida Lupino. I took pictures of Myrna Loy and Joel McCrea in front of the studios. I loved Hollywood. I have 500 autographs and 500 photographs I took.
558
I don’t take pictures when I’m with my kids, for the sake of my kids. It’s important when you’re as busy as I am that you give your kids your time when you’re with them, and nothing compromises that. I’ve been lucky enough to have fans that understand that.
559
560
All of my walls are covered with framed pictures of my friends.
561
562
The technology keeps moving forward, which makes it easier for the artists to tell their stories and paint the pictures they want.
563
I understand the visual media very well, as I used to write comic books for Walt Disney, and I’ve written a graphic novel. How you carry a story in pictures is different than how you do it in text.
564
My pictures are my eyes. I photograph what I see – and what I want to see.
565
When I made ‘Who Needs Pictures,’ my first album, I had been west of the Mississippi River one time in my life, and that was in fourth grade. We traveled to California for vacation and stayed with some friends of my parents. It was culture shock, and it was different.
566
567
My first pictures are from 1972, and my first proper camera dates back to 1973. During the first year I used my father’s camera. It had a flash on it, which I don’t like, but I didn’t know anything about photography back then, so it was just what I did.
568
The ability to get ahead in an organization is simply another talent, like the ability to play chess, paint pictures, do coronary bypass operations or pick pockets.
569
My kids aren’t celebrities. They never made that bargain. We were offered a lot of money to sell pictures of our kids when they were born. You’ll notice there aren’t any. I make no judgment about people who decide differently; a lot of them give the money to charity. For me, it was a matter of principle.
570
Talking with pictures and making memories is universally appealing.
571
Virtually always I get my best pictures when everybody thinks the shoot’s done.
572
Oddly enough, George Pal always began and ended something with The Bible. All his pictures had a religious undertone. God was always there, protecting us.
573
574
I think when you’re young and have that first burst of energy and make five or six pictures in a row that tell the stories of all the things in life you want to say… well, maybe those are the films that should have won me the Oscar.
575
576
577
I grew up thinking art was pictures until I got into music and found I was an artist and didn’t paint.
578
I do Facebook, but I only have my friends and family on it, and they always laugh at me for how little I post. I don’t know how to upload photos, so I never add pictures.
579
The secret of all effective originality in advertising is not the creation of new and tricky words and pictures, but one of putting familiar words and pictures into new relationships.
580
I don’t look at the work of my contemporaries very much; I tend to look at pictures by dead artists. It’s much easier to get near their paintings.

Like all girls, when I was growing up, I always worried about this bit of me being too fat or that bit. But I look back at pictures of me when I was young, and I was thin and gorgeous.
582
I wanted pretty pictures of older women – women who are trying too hard but succeeding – pulling off an extreme look. What I didn’t know would creep into the portraits was a vulnerability behind the strong facade that most of them wear.
583
In most science-fiction pictures, the black guy is either an engineer or a radio operator, and he is the first guy killed – gone from the movie.
584
‘What is the use of a book’, thought Alice, ‘without pictures or conversations?’
585
I won’t allow magazines in the house. When I was younger, I wanted to have my hair cut like so-and-so in the class above me at school, not somebody in a magazine. You see young girls trying to dress like so-and-so because they’ve seen lots of pictures of them.
586
587
588
When I go outside of L.A., no matter where it is, really anywhere I go, people will be stopping me or taking pictures or whatever it is. And it’s great. It’s amazing. I’m just lucky.
589
But what’s interesting is now – and not only in horror, but across the board – the studios basically only make B pictures with A budgets. That’s the biggest difference.
590
After 16 years in pictures I could not be intimidated easily, because I knew where all the skeletons were buried.
591
592
There will never be talking pictures.
593
594
I’m one of nine children, and I have a lot of pictures.
595
596
I have always liked to get my pictures taken, and I like taking care of my looks. But, I am not one to use beauty products and treatments.
597
I’ve always loved the wild rumpus in ‘Where the Wild Things Are’ by Maurice Sendak, because the words disappear, the pictures take up the whole page, and we move forward in the story by turning the pages.
598
Every artist is supposed to get emotional. You’re painting pictures of emotions.
599

Everybody has their thing they like or don’t like to see. It’s all in your head. That’s why people take their own pictures, because it’s difficult for someone else to capture what you seek.
601
I always had a dream about trying to make a movie that had no dialogue in it, that was just music and pictures. I still haven’t done it yet, but I tried to get close in the beginning.
602
I think a few pictures at a time.
603
I made more lousy pictures than any actor in history.
604
I grew up wanting to be a painter and paint pictures.
605
When I was a kid, I was a bit of a space geek. I loved the space program and all things NASA. I would read books about our solar system; I had pictures of the Space Shuttle on my bedroom wall. And yes, I even went to Space Camp.
606
I don’t mind fans coming up in a friendly, respectful way. That’s all part of the fun of being a top tennis player. But if people take pictures without permission, particularly if my children are in the shot, I feel uncomfortable.
607
I’m motivated every second by my work; it doesn’t switch off. The pictures I make come from every blink of my lashes.
608
609
The doors between the old man today and the child are still open, wide open. I can stroll through my grandmother‘s house and know exactly where the pictures are, the furniture was, how it looked, the voice, the smells. I can move from my bed at night today to my childhood in less than a second.
610
I’m a ‘Power of Now’ kind of guy, always have been. I don’t really hang on to a lot of pictures. I have pictures of my daughters.
611
I’m the sort of person who takes a camera to dinner or a nightclub because I enjoy taking pictures of people. I tweet all my pictures, which is bad.
612
Whenever they do leg pictures, I’m it!
613
A part of my kind of design and inspiration ethos is that I carry around a leather notebook and I sketch in it, doodle in it, write notes in it, and I put pictures in it.
614
615
616
Everybody wants blockbusters. I like to see a few pictures now and then that have to do with people and have relationships, and that’s what I want to do films about. I don’t want to see these sci-fi movies, and I don’t want to do one of those. I don’t understand it.
617
618
I like to turn things upside down, to watch pictures and situations from another perspective.
619
In other words the pictures are in a kind of relationship with each other which is touching only at points rather than pictures being illustrations of poems or poems extrapolations of the pictures.
620
With a few flowers in my garden, half a dozen pictures and some books, I live without envy.
621
In motion pictures, the actor rules. The camera served the actor.
622
If somebody thinks they’re a hedgehog, presumably you just give ’em a mirror and a few pictures of hedgehogs and tell them to sort it out for themselves.
623
I’ve been painting and drawing and taking pictures as long as I’ve been writing music – and I’ve actually been drawing longer than I’ve been writing music.
624
625
626
The great thing about being a print journalist is that you are permitted to duck. Cameramen get killed while the writers are flat on the floor. A war correspondent for the BBC dedicated his memoir to 50 fallen colleagues, and I guarantee you they were all taking pictures. I am only alive because I am such a chicken.
627
I respect newspapers, but the reality is that magazine ‘photojournalism’ is finished. They want illustrations, Photoshopped pictures of movie stars.
628
If anybody reads a story in a magazine or book, different pictures compete in their minds.
629
After Sandy hit, my wife and I saw pictures of the devastation following the hurricane in the news. We immediately wanted to find a way to assist those in need.
630
When I did that first movie, it was the introduction to all the set-up time and the waiting time that’s endemic in motion pictures, and the repetition.
631
My mother had taken me to photographer Paul Hesse, who used some of my pictures on magazine covers.
632
Of course, I’d like to produce and direct a blockbuster, but you gotta build up to that. So now I’m learning from a bunch of little movies. And it’s more fun with smaller pictures. It’s more creative.
633
A picture is worth 10K words – but only those to describe the picture. Hardly any sets of 10K words can be adequately described with pictures.
634
I don’t smile a lot in my pictures. I’m always so… grim.
635
636
I played music and sang from my earliest memories. The first pictures of me show me wandering around with a guitar that was larger than I was, and it became almost second nature to me.
637
638
I was in Paris, Milan and London from ’89 until ’91, and I did mostly runway modeling. I know there’s so many people out there looking for pictures, but this was way before the age of the Internet, sorry!
639
I never regarded my pictures as very much to be proud of, except in this, the craft, the style.
640
I sort of got into Westerns… It was a sort of desperation move, really. I had several pictures that didn’t go very well, and I just realised that I would have to try something else.
641
I didn’t hang any pictures in my office for a year because I thought that I would be jinxing myself and have to take them down the next day.
642
Also the pictures themselves give a visual to the audience tuning in, that makes them a very important part of law enforcement, or pulling families together.
643
Hollywood is where they shoot too many pictures and not enough actors.
644
All the world is competent to judge my pictures except those who are of my profession.
645
In my dressing room, you’ll definitely find some Starbursts and Skittles. I have a lot of candles that remind me of home, and a humidifier for my voice. I also have some digital Kodak albums where I have pictures of my friends and family.
646
647
648
I have never felt ‘fat;’ I just didn’t realise how unhealthy I was until I look back at pictures. In the moment, I felt so beautiful, and I remember walking down red carpets with my make-up done in a little sparkly dress, and I thought I was so cute.
649
I’m obsessed with Tumblr. I love looking at all the pictures!
