Jon Porter

Commas in The New Yorker fall with the precision of knives in a circus act, outlining the victim.

Sarah Polley

I knew I wanted to act, and I was really driven, so I kept going for it. We moved to L.A. full-time when I was 8 or 9.

Louie Anderson

Thora Birch

I want more children but for the next three years I want to act.

Anna Friel

I have to say that it's very few countries that are willing to look back at its past and apologize for its act, or make amends for its act, as the United States had one.

Robert Matsui

I think unleashing 3,000 smart bombs against the city of Baghdad in the first several days of the war... to me, if those were unleashed against the San Francisco Bay Area, I would call that an act of extreme terrorism.

Pete Stark

I cannot sing, dance or act; what else would I be but a talk show host.

David Letterman

My kids act all the time and it's exactly what I used to do.

Stephen Rea

After the magical act accomplished by Joyce with Ulysses, perhaps we are getting away from it.

Raymond Queneau

Presidents quickly realize that while a single act might destroy the world they live in, no one single decision can make life suddenly better or can turn history around for the good.

Lyndon B. Johnson

A marriage is no amusement but a solemn act, and generally a sad one.

Queen Victoria

I think it's bad to talk about one's present work, for it spoils something at the root of the creative act. It discharges the tension.

Norman Mailer

I went to my last three years of high school in New Jersey. I just wanted to act, you know?

Stacey Dash

Having a child is surely the most beautifully irrational act that two people in love can commit.

John Updike

Maybe it's because I'm getting older, I'm finding enjoyment in things that stop time. Just the simple act of tasting a glass of wine is its own event. You're not downing a glass of wine in the midst of doing something else.
