I’ll say initially acting was my first love, and that’s what I pursued. But then, so far as even my first day on a film set, and just watching how things were set up, I just said, ‘I think I want to be in charge.’ I am very much type-A. I am a bit of a control freak.

I was pleased when the picture was over I fit in all right and I spoke well enough as I said before, cause I was scared to death there for a minute. I mean, you’re doing a scene with somebody like that or they’re watching you or something, you’d better come up with something.
I love watching the sunrise and sunset and the sky, the birds.

I want to act for the rest of my life – and I also want to pursue directing.

I need specifically love, affection, people to touch me all the time. Because otherwise, I don’t really – I don’t cope very well.

I was more of the kind of babysitter that liked holding the baby, sort of playing Mom, and then putting the baby to bed and watching TV while eating everything in their kitchen.
I’m a big believer in cinema, you know – what it used to be? Images and sound, and working it out a bit. I find it exciting watching films where I just go into an impressive world.

You can observe a lot by just watching.

I grew up in a very small town, on a farm. There was not even a TV in my house at that time. I didn’t have much connection with the outside world and couldn’t see martial arts.

My parents were really political. The news was very important in our home. We basically had dinner every night while watching the news, and then we’d discuss it with our parents.
Acting was a lot like football. When you’re a DB and you’re one on one with a receiver, you’re going to dance. It’s go-time in front of 100,000 people and everybody watching on TV. That’s exactly how it is when a director says ‘Action!’ It’s the same adrenaline rush, the same training process. I love it.
What I care about is making sure that when the people watching me put their head to their pillow, I’m the last thing they think about. Not because I hit the coolest moves, not because I’m putting my body on the line for their entertainment, but because I’m captivating.
You have to dare to make a choice that may be considered unorthodox in a role, but when you’re working as if there are tons of people watching you, that’s not necessarily a good thing.
Watching the completed version of The Two Towers for example, I was very conscious of scenes – sometimes whole sequences – that I had seen being filmed or edited but which hadn’t made it into the final cut.

I feel like a crazy person all the time, and I feel like people are watching me, and I feel paranoid.
With songs I almost see the images, see the action, and then all I have to do is describe it. It’s almost like watching a scene from a film, and that’s what I go about trying to catch in a song.
I’m one of those crazy people, if I’m watching the trailer for a movie and I’m really excited by it, I’ll turn it off because I don’t want to know anything. I want to be surprised because I love that more than knowing anything.
I stopped watching horror movies after I watched ‘Candyman’ when I was – I don’t know, fifteen or something. I remember my sister rented it, ‘Candyman,’ and it really, really scared me. And so it was only after I found myself in a horror film that I really went back and kind of rediscovered the genre.
I think people like watching edgy things.
I’m anti-social, and I don’t have too many friends. I’m in my own world doing my own things – training in martial arts, dancing, or watching a Michael Jackson video.

Discipline is just doing the same thing the right way whether anyone’s watching or not.

I like watching films when I don’t know anything about the people.

Work like you don’t need the money. Love like you’ve never been hurt. Dance like nobody’s watching.

The only way I can meet expectations of myself and what I think I am capable of is to make sure my game is in order and I am doing things that allow me to perform at my best, to make sure my training is good, to make sure I am focused on watching the ball and not worried about the external expectations.
I was dating a guy that was a huge wrestling fan and I’m embarrassed to say it now but I used to make fun of him for watching it.

For me when I watch ‘The Shining,’ it’s like watching a home movie. I understand how it scares people. I think it’s an entertaining movie, don’t get me wrong. But I look back on it with so many memories.
The way Nolan looks at things is just amazing. It can be easily seen in all his films. I was just watching his videos on how he came up with the screenplay of ‘Memento,’ and it’s just extraordinary. It just opens up your mind.
Confronting a stadium audience, you can’t see the whites of their eyes. It’s just an amorphous mass of noise and, of course, you can’t see the alleged billions watching at home either, so the degree to which you are intimidated is quite low.
If you really love films, and you really want to get the full impact, there’s a huge difference between watching something on a small screen with a mediocre sound system and watching it on a giant screen in a giant theater with a huge beautiful sound system. I mean, the difference is electric.

Obviously, the cinematography of films is art, just as a still shot can be art. If I’m watching a Wes Anderson movie, the colour palettes alone, and the way they’re painted, could be art. With music, you’re a little bit limited, of course, because it’s only audio.
My parents were involved in community theater in New Jersey. Instead of hiring a baby sitter, they would take me with them. So my love of acting seeped in from watching my parents and seeing them having fun.
There are few things more amusing in the world of politics than watching moderate Republicans charging to the right in pursuit of greater glory.
I remember, in 1999, the first time I met Steve Cram, I didn’t know who he was. It was only later, on YouTube, I started watching Seb Coe, Ovett. So it’s nice to be recognised as one of the best guys in the world.
Even though I don’t personally believe in the Lord, I try to behave as though He was watching.
The throttles could only move very, very slowly, always watching the temperature, always watching. And even in throttling back, you could bust it, even being very careful.
Live like you’ll die tomorrow, work like you don’t need the money, and dance like nobody’s watching.
I got my story, my dream, from America. The hero I had is Forrest Gump… I like that guy. I’ve been watching that movie about 10 times. Every time I get frustrated, I watch the movie. I watched the movie before I came here again to New York. I watched the movie again telling me that no matter whatever changed, you are you.
I do feel that over the years from watching programmes that tell people ‘you’re not good enough,’ I just don’t like it.
That’s what’s great about the arts. Everything inspires you, and you get a chance to grow from watching other people and how they do their work.
I’ve been watching RFD-TV for a few years. As a person who lives mostly in the country, I appreciate a network that shows the many facets of rural life.
We made 16 episodes of Cracker and I loved doing the show, but unfortunately no one was watching us.
I grew up watching the Olympics and did some athletics for my school, winning the Welsh pentathlon championship.
When I started out, there were a lot of things I knew I couldn’t do, and a lot of things I only found out I couldn’t do by going and doing it. And no-one was watching, and nobody cared.
I’m not scared of seeing bugs, but I get really scared if they crawl on me. I’m also really bad at watching horror films. During my freshman year of high school, I was watching a horror movie with a guy and I ended up hugging him without realising it.
It ain’t like we’re curing cancer or anything, we’re watching basketball.
I like putting all my eggs in one basket and then watching the basket very carefully.
When I was a kid, and I was watching TV, I just loved it so much that I wanted to crawl into that TV.
I don’t know if we ever fully get over the pain of watching a child trying to find their way through a world that too often doesn’t understand.
Having been in football all my life as a player and a coach and having been on the sideline, I think the closer we can get to bringing people what it’s like standing and watching the game on the sideline, with a better view, would be the perfect situation for television football.
There’s a lot of people in this world who spend so much time watching their health that they haven’t the time to enjoy it.
I’ve always loved to paint – I was studying to do an art degree when I was approached to become a model – and I’ve being doing some design work as well. I also love just having a quiet time, sitting in my little library at home in Brooklyn and reading or watching documentaries or listening to music.
Contemplation often makes life miserable. We should act more, think less, and stop watching ourselves live.
I had a really hard time in Orange County. I was a nerd. I was watching foreign cinema when I was 13 and talking about how ‘Hope and Glory’ should be a foreign film.
I think that one of the nice things about the Yellow Submarine movie is that it seems to be perennial. People enjoy watching from each generation. And it was like the Beatles themselves. You know the Beatles seem to find new audience each time another generation comes along.
When you look around right now, Nashville is kind of going through another changing of guard; you’re watching the Martina McBrides and the Faith Hills and all of them that have been the big stars for the last however many years, and the next generation is coming in: Miranda Lambert, Carrie Underwood, those girls.
It felt like being in the center of the world, and I felt like I was a witness to history and I knew that the whole world was watching on television. So, I could feel the collective consciousness of the world focused on this little strip of land called Seattle.
I’m a bit of an insomniac. I go to bed at 5am because I get caught up in watching TV or listening to music at night.
The biggest piece is my family… From watching films like The Godfather on our dining room wall, to having a great relationship with my sibling. Or going on weekend trips with our cousins to the beach and eating all day… it’s been a crazy childhood; a ‘bohemian one’.
Procrastination comes in two types. Some of us procrastinate in order to pursue restful activities – spending time in bed, watching TV – while others delay difficult or unpleasant tasks in favor of those that are more fun.
When they first said I made it through it was just crazy, I mean all kinds of thoughts were going through my head, and you know to be watching the show for nine seasons and to be on it now is surreal, it’s so surreal.
I was a big fan of Greta Garbo and that era of movies, so I dreamt watching those movies.
I love my boys. I love watching them growing up. I love seeing them develop, and I’m always looking forward to seeing what they’re going to become and what they’re going to be interested in later in life.
Being in the Rumble means that people are watching you.
The question I ask myself is: have I really just become a squeamish middle-aged man, or has something happened to the horror genre that shows a growing appetite for watching torture, or at least a desire to explore it on film? And if so, why would that be? I can’t pretend I know. I just know I don’t like it.
How many years have I been watching the U.S. Open? Since I was a little kid.
Trying to determine what is going on in the world by reading newspapers is like trying to tell the time by watching the second hand of a clock.
TV has the unique opportunity to take musicals, live events, so it has that feeling and excitement and spontaneity, but still has a camera between you and what you are watching.
Watching the scenes out of New Orleans, if you turn down the sound it could be the Sudan or any Third World country. But it’s not. it’s the United States of America.
As popular culture becomes more presentist, we move away from entertainment as the vicarious experience of a narrative – as watching someone else’s story – and much more toward enacting one’s own story. Moving away from myths and toward fantasy role-playing games, away from movies and toward videogames.
I told my agents that I didn’t want to go on the audition. But as that was happening I called my mom, who has been watching the show from the beginning, and my mom said, ‘It’s the coolest show. You have to go.’
I’ve learned 90 percent of what I know from watching and listening to actors. A good leading actor is the rock of the show. Their energy and their tone really sets the groundwork for how everything is going to work. I’ve been lucky to deal with stars who are very giving and generous.
It was endlessly entertaining, watching people beat each other up. All the little kids in the neighborhood would come and watch… and then we’d beat them up as well.
For me, a bit of anthropology in the evening is always better than staying and watching the telly.
I am very fortunate to be doing something I completely love, so it is certainly not hard to get motivated. Watching people sing along and put their hands in the air is a very powerful thing. I’m 63, but I don’t feel it. I feel like I’m in my 40s. I enjoy life.
Robby had a flamenco and folk music background. I was so enamored with watching Robby’s fingers crawl across the flamenco guitar strings like a crab.
So I do make a real effort that all of my videos are things that, if I had kids, I wouldn’t mind them watching.
I grew up watching ‘Dawson’s Creek,’ and I started watching ‘The Vampire Diaries‘ when I was auditioning because I wanted to get a feel of it… then I totally got hooked!
I grew up watching Monday Night Football with Howard Cosell and the other guys with my dad.
Eight o’clock is hard no matter what network you’re on because people have to make a decision to sit down and start watching TV. Every other time slot is a time slot that happens after someone’s watching something else.
I’ve been watching anime for a minute, so I know like real weird deep anime that people probably don’t care about.
You get to that age where you’re watching a lot of television, and who doesn’t want to be on television?
I think you can’t be passive in making this film – or in watching it.
I grew up watching ‘Buffy the Vampire Slayer‘ and used to dream that I would grow up to be just like her. In a way, ‘Teen Wolf‘ has a lot of those kinds of characters. We’re just kids by day, and yet we’re trying to fight demons and werewolves and bad people and save people that we love.
I love ‘Game of Thrones’ just as much as I love watching the NFL; I think a lot of fans do, too.
I don’t think there is a national pasttime. Watching TV is a national pasttime. Really. If there is a national pasttime, it is watching TV.
LeBron‘s been like a big brother to me, watching me play and giving me pointers on just little things. I really look up to him.
I tore up my knee break dancing. I have no idea how that happened. Apparently these legs are meant for swimming, but not dancing. I was watching an MTV video, thinking, ‘I can do this.’ Definitely not. I heard a pop. I sat down and it blew up like a watermelon. I had to go to the hospital and get surgery.
I truly believe that when the history books are written, our age will be remembered for three things: the war on terror, the digital revolution, and what we did – or did not do – to put the fire out in Africa. History, like God, is watching what we do.
Always wear a smile because you never know who is watching.
That’s how I hope to die: on my deathbed, watching ‘Real Housewives of the Moon.’
Watching sunrise and sunset from space, which is a beautiful sight, has been a personal privilege I have attained while being there. Another reflection from within I felt was that there was nothing which was neither visible and nor with a supportive environment as to how Planet Earth is.
I always loved watching old movies and I loved Marilyn Monroe and all those blondes; that hyper feminine 1950s glamour and the exaggeration of it. Then Jessica Rabbit came along and it was an exaggeration of that look and so I wanted to be even more exaggerated than that.
As a performer you are being used to keep people watching so the commercial endorsements that support the network can be seen by as many people as possible.
IQ is a commodity, data is a commodity. I’m far more interested in watching people interact at a restaurant with their smartphone. We can all read ‘Tech Crunch,’ ‘Ad Age.’ I would rather be living in the trenches. I would rather be going to Whole Foods in Columbus Circle to watch people shop with their smartphones.
I think the thing we see is that as people are using video games more, they tend to watch passive TV a bit less. And so using the PC for the Internet, playing video games, is starting to cut into the rather unbelievable amount of time people spend watching TV.
Every time I work, it’s an educational process because I learn by watching other actors. My career is always going to be an ongoing study.
I think an excess of anything is bad, be it mobile phones, social media, private tuitions or watching television.
My dad lived by example. I lived by watching him. I watched all the great things he did and said. I try to walk that talk for my children.
