Sure, I have a lot of friends that are actors. Just because I guess I run into a lot of actors in my work.
There are a lot of artists that come and go very quickly, and I understand why just because someone has a No. 1 doesn’t necessarily mean they should be up for best male or female categories. I understand that Aria are protecting the integrity of what Aria is, but I do think that pop music isn’t recognised enough.
‘Downton Abbey‘ didn’t have the impact it had just because it was a good story about people. It was something about that period and that world that was fascinating to people on a level that wasn’t just as an entertainment.
I think the average guy thinks they’re pro-woman, just because they think they’re a nice guy and someone has told them that they’re awesome. But the truth is far from it.
I do not think I am successful just because I have money. I’m successful because I love who I am and I have no regrets, and I’m successful because I have a great heart and I have compassion and I care and I would be happy with or without money.
Just because you make a good plan, doesn’t mean that’s what’s gonna happen.
I think just because you’re a mom, it doesn’t negate – if anything, you’re probably more enhanced – that you’re a woman trying to find your place in the world.
I try not to date where I work. It makes life easier. I don’t say no to anybody because I’d hope that people wouldn’t say no to me just because I’m an actor – but they’d have to be pretty extraordinary.
I spent the majority of time at school trying to break the rules. I would climb to the top of buildings; I even burned a building down once – not intentionally, just because I was interested in fire. I remember going through the rule book, ticking off the ones I had broken and looking for the ones I hadn’t.
There’s nothing masculine about being competitive. There’s nothing masculine about trying to be the best at everything you do, nor is there anything wrong with it. I don’t know why a female athlete has to defend her femininity just because she chooses to play sports.
I am not sure how much Dudley will feature just because of the grand scale of the film and the fact that there are so many stories and characters to tie up. I haven’t seen the film yet but I think it will be a blink-and-you’ll-miss-it moment, but it was nice just to round it off and give it some closure.
I really don’t feel it’s necessary, as an actor, to make people feel uncomfortable, just because you need to be in a certain headspace. So, I do take myself away and do my own work and hunker down.
Going to parties usually makes me feel depressed, just because I have such social fear after meeting people.
People have to realize that just because you’re a Christian, it doesn’t mean that you’re perfect, because every once in a while everyone stumbles. Living by faith is about when you do mess up, getting back up, brushing yourself off, and keep trying to improve where you mess up or where you have temptation.
There’s nothing like theater. It’s really amazing. But it does take up all of your time. I would like to get into more film, just because I find it super fascinating.
Yes, films need to make their money back – it’s an expensive business, and people need to be paid for what’s involved – but just because you can, it doesn’t mean you should.
I think the name of the show, ‘This American Life‘ – we named it that just because it seemed like it made the thing feel big. But we don’t think about whether it’s an American story or not. We happen to be Americans. I think for the stories to work, they have to be universal.
Just because reporters say something over and over and over again doesn’t start to make it true.
Just because you don’t know if other people are experiencing the same thing as you are, it doesn’t mean that it’s not happening. Everybody doesn’t necessarily share everything. Just know that what you’re going through, other people are going through it, too.
There is a huge market for products and services aimed at what I like to call the Pocketbook Environmentalist: a shopper who’s savvy enough to know things don’t necessarily have to cost more just because they’re good for the environment.
Just because you’re a different size doesn’t mean you’re sitting on the couch eating bonbons all day long watching TV.
My whole thing is that I want to explore why you read books, what’s the purpose of reading, and maybe that it’s not that cool to hate something just because it’s popular.
I am sure that the sad days and happenings were rare, and that I lived the joyous and careless life of other children; but just because the happy days were so habitual to me they made no impression upon my mind, and I can no longer recall them.
There’s more to anybody. Just because you haven’t noticed it, that’s your problem, that’s not mine.
Everyone’s struggle is different. Just because I wasn’t struggling on the streets, it doesn’t mean I don’t know what it’s like to struggle.
When I was a kid, I loved Nicholas brothers films. It was like skateboarding. Even Gene Kelly: I always preferred him to Fred Astaire, just because he was more athletic, like skateboarding.
I would love to do a big studio movie, just because they’re going to put the money into distributing it. A lot of times you do these little movies, you love them and they never get seen by anyone.
I don’t accept films just because they have star heroes in lead. I rejected a few big films because I didn’t like the story.
When I say, ‘I can’t stay long, I’m in-between meals,’ that plays differently on the radio than it does in person. So I have to pick material that works because the words are funny, not just because of the images.
A lot of times, I get asked, ‘Do you feel you have a responsibility to young girls to be a role model?’ I don’t see that happening as much to guys. I feel like, just because I’m a girl, I’m supposed to take more responsibility? Is that how it works?
You could look at something a hundred times from space, but the next time you come around the world, suddenly it’s very different and gorgeous-looking, just because of the change of weather or the angle of the sun.
I’m a big potato chip girl. I don’t like chocolate and cakes and all that, but I have to have my potato chips. I’ve got bags in the back of my car right now! But I never beat myself up about it, because, look: You can’t give up every damn thing. You need something in your life that you like just because you like it!
I would want to wear No. 20, just because a lot of history behind that number through high school and college.

People think I like to expose my body. But I don’t. It’s just because the dance moves require it.
The patriarchy is alive and well in Egypt and the wider Arab world. Just because we got rid of the father of the nation in Egypt or Tunisia, Mubarak or Ben Ali, and in a number of other countries, does not mean that the father of the family does not still hold sway.
Just because it sparkles doesn’t mean it’s good.
There really is no shortcut just because you have a name, or you have some kind of access or some way you can solve all the problems. And I think one of the things I learned with FUBU, you have to understand that there’s really only two ways of operating a business: more sales, or lower overhead.
I believe that all blogs should have at least one set of rhyming words. Just because. Does. Fuzz. Was.
I deserve attention not because of any talent, but just because of who I am.
It would be a mistake to link anything that Israel does to a certain circumstance. And it is a mistake to feel comfortable in any circumstance just because Israel did not act on it.

Just because they really are out to get you doesn’t mean you aren’t paranoid.
Just because you are on TV, it doesn’t mean you’re not going to make mistakes.
We need to start by having a conversation about climate change. It would be irresponsible to avoid the issue just because it’s uncomfortable to talk about.
I must confess that I lead a miserable life. For almost two years, I have ceased to attend any social functions, just because I find it impossible to say to people, ‘I am deaf.’ If I had any other profession, I might be able to cope with my infirmity; but in my profession, it is a terrible handicap.
I get the biggest enjoyment from the random and unexpected places. Linux on cellphones or refrigerators, just because it’s so not what I envisioned it. Or on supercomputers.
Just because I’m undersized and under-this and under-that, I’ve still been a good football player since I was little.
But just because I hate the Conservatives doesn’t mean I’m gonna tell people to vote for the party I want. Inform yourself on what the parties stand for and make your own decision.
Just because you are having difficulty in a relationship doesn’t mean the love you feel in a relationship is not necessarily real. Or just because you actually can’t be together in a relationship, doesn’t necessarily mean the relationship is not real.
The point is to expand the scope of what a movie can possibly mean or be, to get people involved because they’re artistic or understand the point of the material, not just because they fit a certain bill aesthetically.
I remember when I was 15 or 16 years old, I couldn’t imagine what life would be like past the age of 30, just because I didn’t know that many men who had lived beyond their 20s.
And people are always saying he deceptively quick, deceptively athletic, and I don’t know if that’s just because I’m Asian or what it is, but obviously there’s going to be stereotypes that you have to fight.

I am deeply committed to the cause of Indigenous Australians, and not just because of the Apology, but the big challenges which lie ahead in closing the gap.
Audiences in every medium are becoming far more savvy. No one goes to watch a Tom Cruise movie any more just because it’s starring Tom Cruise.
Just because you live 20 years or 100 years doesn’t make it less meaningful. They’re both short amount of times. So all we can do is just live in that time, whatever time we’re given.
It’s dangerous to write people off just because they’ve been arrested.
Just because I don’t smile a lot, people think, ‘Ah, yeah. He must have a bad attitude.’ But if you don’t know me, you don’t know me. That was the problem. My face is just serious!
Maybe there are logical reasons for a gay person not to have a great relationship with their parents – not because there’s a parent who made him gay, but just because it may be difficult to understand everything.
Relationships, for me, have been elusive. And I would say mostly it’s been my fault. I was always more concentrated on my career. And yes, you do question people’s motives. Is it just because I’m him – I’m Nathan Lane?
Just because you’re a star on television doesn’t mean that you can be a music phenomenon or an artist. You have to have the material to back it, and it’s all about hit songs. I can name you every ‘Idol’ winner and why they didn’t go on to have success – their songs. The ones who have – their songs.
I have male friends. I’m the type of girl that always had male friends, more male friends than female friends. So just because you see me with the person doesn’t mean that I’m kicking it with them, hanging out with them, or we’re romantically involved in any way, shape or form.
Give your kid some credit for being smart – just because they read about something doesn’t mean they will do it.
I’m saddened to see that everyone’s pitched out the baby with the bath, in that we say that it can’t be one or the other, it could be both. I mean, just because we listen to classical music doesn’t mean that we can’t listen to jazz.
A guy like Benoit, he’s really good and a lot like Dynamite. Dynamite, just because he was the original, was the best. But, you know, Benoit now is by far better. Dynamite Kid is nothing now.
I think to be – for me to be an American is – you know, it’s one of the greatest things in the world for – you know, for me just because I’ve been able to grow up with everything. The freedom. You know, in my eyes this is the greatest country in the world.
Just because everything is different doesn’t mean anything has changed.
Just because I live in L.A .and I live in Hollywood doesn’t mean I have to have a Hollywood life.

I have a preference for film just because of the familiarity. It’s what I know, and I sort of have nostalgia for it.
Julia Roberts most definitely would play me in the film of my life. Not just because of the hair but because she has all sides to her personality come through in films that I could just imagine her playing my crazy self so well.

Just because something didn’t work out your way, or somebody disappointed you, that does not change who you are.
Holocaust survivors came to Israel in order to establish a new human society where nobody would be able to hurt them just because they’re Jewish. This is both a furious and vulnerable message.
There’s so many great matches that you can think of. I could fantasy book all kinds of stuff, you know, fight a few family members. If we could have Umaga back, I would love to wrestle him in any arena in any town just because of how good he was.
I’m a hopeless romantic. I buy things because I fall in love with them. I never buy anything just because it’s valuable.
There are times when what you do will be mysterious to everyone… times when you have to change directions before people are ready. Just because someone does something that critics don’t like or understand doesn’t mean you’re failing as a musician. It probably means you’re growing.
I guess the first big name I worked with was Sissy Spacek, and that was really interesting just because she’s so incredible and I learned so much from just watching her. But she’s also so unassuming that I loved working with her. It wasn’t like working with a star, it was Sissy. Not a big deal.
I’m not going to limit myself just because people won’t accept the fact that I can do something else.
I don’t think people expect Bruce Springsteen to come out in a pink satin jacket, but Rod Stewart, they do. And I like doing it; I don’t wear it just because I think I have to. I’m a very flamboyant person.
I love the virtuosity and imaginative chutzpah of ‘Da Vinci’s Demons,’ and not just because my boyfriend is in it!
Just because you’re part of ‘Twilight‘ does not mean you’re a superstar. It means that you’re given the opportunity to maybe become one later if you work hard. Once fandom goes away, which it will very soon, it’s all about having your priorities straight and working hard.
Just because you’re passionately interested in something doesn’t mean it has to be your career. You might have to look for more than one passion. Some passions may afford a career and some may not.

Just because we want something so bad does not mean that God wants it for us, too.
Just because we can’t find a solution it doesn’t mean that there isn’t one.
I admire Brad Pitt, honestly, just because of how he started and the obstacles he had to overcome to have the career that he’s had.
You go on these Internet blogs and people say the meanest things. I’m a normal person. Just because I’m in the spotlight doesn’t mean I’m God’s gift to the world. I’m learning and making mistakes just like every other 17-year-old girl out there.
You look at a Pete Rose to be the terrific athlete he is and then he falls on hard times, but when he played the game, I got something from the way he played the game because he hustled every play, and just because he had one mistake in his life, am I supposed to throw back everything that I gained from him?
Unless I really make an effort, I quite enjoy looking a bit off and something looking a bit wrong. That’s how I feel most comfortable. If anything, it’s just because I’m, like, very scatty and not very good at putting stuff together.
I think that was one thing I definitely brought to the table, my aggressiveness and my style of play, and I think that’s one of the reasons why the fans here really appreciated the way that I went out and played, just because I think they kind of liked that.
Just because you’ve Googled something doesn’t mean you’ve learned.
What does it mean to be an oncologist? It means that you get to sit in at a moment of another person’s life that is so hyper-acute, and not just because they’re medically ill. It’s also a moment of hope and expectation and concern.
People have made sure of that, that you can’t shock anybody anymore. It’s not just because of movies and TV. It’s because of what’s happening in the world.
O wretched man, wretched not just because of what you are, but also because you do not know how wretched you are!
Unfortunately, I’m more experienced than I care to admit on long-distance relationships. Just because that is my life. I travel because I love to. As a result, I have to sort of make it work when a relationship kind of comes into view.
Hollywood is the place to be for actors – and there’s just a big rush when an Australian comes over just because there’s less of them. I guess that’s just how it is. Like if you pick a pink jellybean out of a jar of green ones it’d be amazing, but if you pick a green one, no one will care.
I’m extremely well recognized in Korea just because of what I do on the ice, and there is a lack of that in Canada because hockey is our sport and it will be for eternity.

It is really funny to see people that you know acting unpleasantly just because there are TV cameras on.
When we decided to go to Cuba to perform, we did it because we just wanted to build a bridge, you know, between Cuba and the rest of the community.

Just because of ‘Rangeela’ and ‘Daud,’ it can’t be said that I am a sex symbol.
Just because something’s legible doesn’t means it communicates. More importantly, it doesn’t mean it communicates the right thing. So, what is the message sent before somebody actually gets into the material? And I think that’s sometimes an overlooked area.
In 2017, it’s discouraging that it seems like we’re going backward. And that’s not just because of Trump; that’s because we, as humans, condone discrimination; it’s a human issue. It’s part of something bigger.
I love dancing just because I’ve done it my whole life and it’s definitely what I want to do. I feel like, I want to train with acting and do movies. Those two are my main priorities. I definitely want to be able to sing and model, too. I definitely love those, too.
I think Dustin Hoffman’s career I would love to emulate just because it’s so diversified.
Everyone thinks that just because you have a Scouse accent, then you must be ‘on the rob‘.
Don’t ever know who you may meet, or just because a person may not be dressed up all fancy, don’t mean they’re not an important person. You just don’t ever know who you’re gonna meet in life. So that’s why I look at everybody as equal. Can’t just judge. I treat everybody with respect. Every man.
I just use all the skills that I learned in film school, and I just incorporate them into my sketches. People don’t realize that, with a story, there has to be a beginning, middle and end. There has to be a problem and a resolution. Just because it’s six seconds doesn’t mean it’s not a story.
I believe every woman’s body is beautiful in its own way. I have never understood that just because a woman has thick thighs, she is considered fat. For so long, I’ve been around in the modeling world and have tried to break that barrier. But I think now it’s turning around.
When I first did ‘The Fast and the Furious’, I didn’t want there to be a sequel on the first one. I thought, ‘Why would you rush to do a sequel – just because your first film is successful?’
I don’t think there’s any topic a writer should feel afraid of tackling just because it has already been discussed. If you feel you have a fresh perspective and an understanding of a certain emotional truth, it’s always worth writing.
I don’t want fame as far as the tweeting or the image of it. But, the idea of being famous is actually exciting to me, just because then you can have a choice in what you do.

Just because I managed to do a little something, I don’t want anyone back home to think I got the big head.
Just because we’re rid of Saddam and the evil Batthists doesn’t mean the occupation is a good thing. Our salvation from Saddam was only with the grace of God.

I did ‘Mad Men‘ and I still have people come up to me like, ‘Are you actually a lesbian?’ Really? Just because I play one on TV? People will think what they’re gonna think.

Some people think they are worth a lot of money just because they have it.
I played in Europe and it was a great experience, not just because of my team-mates and the coaches we had, but from the fans and the city itself – I played in Gothenburg and I played in Lyon and soccer was everywhere.
I started writing morning pages just to keep my hand in, you know, just because I was a writer and I didn’t know what else to do but write. And then one day as I was writing, a character came sort of strolling in and I realized, Oh my God, I don’t have to be just a screenwriter. I can write novels.
As an artist, you have to work hard for things that you can’t really hold in your hand. I work not for money but for my career, to expand myself as an artist. Every video I make, it’s not making me any money; it’s just because I want to expand.
When Christians start thinking about Jesus, things start breaking down, they lose their faith. It’s perfectly possible to go to church every Sunday and not ask any questions, just because you like it as a way of life. They fear that if they ask questions they’ll lose their Christ, the very linchpin of their religion.
I really liked watching Bo Jackson run just because of his size and his speed.

Inevitably, the world of ‘communications‘ / PR / advertising / marketing is full of charlatans flogging snake oil. It is therefore very easy to do things and spend money just because it’s conventional.
Just because there are celebrities in a movie, it doesn’t mean anything. I don’t think The Ant Bully did all that well the first week at the box office. Compare the movies that have a lot of celebrities with the Jimmy Neutron movie, which had no celebrity voices and grossed almost one hundred million dollars.
I buy everything India Arie, just because she’s such a positive person, and I just love her music. Her music’s so soulful… I think Kanye West is a genius musically.
You don’t move just because you want to go from this point to that point – the body has to be using the words as well as you vocally use the words.

And I’ve never taken up a sport just because it was a social fad.
Just because we’re on schedule is no reason to shoot bad acting. Someone once said to me, ‘You’re inconsiderate.’ And I said, ‘Inconsiderate? Bad acting is the ultimate inconsideration.’ It’s a collective slap to a million faces at the same time.
I grew up in the South under segregation. So, I know what terrorism feels like – when your father could be taken out in the middle of the night and lynched just because he didn’t look like he was in an obeying frame of mind when a white person said something he must do. I mean, that’s terrorism, too.
Being taken seriously, for a young writer, is a wonderful form of encouragement, but at the same time, I don’t think one should ever feel like attempting a kind of artistic endeavor is beyond your scope just because of age or inexperience.
I have been very clear to everybody that just because I’m getting married does not mean I call myself a straight.

My heart is in television, just because it’s been so good to me.
I got told by pretty much everyone I knew that, if I’m going to be out in L.A., working, you need a car. So I was thinking, I’m going to try and not get a car, just because I’m a contrarian that way.
A lot of people have told me, ‘You’re not this and so can’t play that,’ and I can’t tell you the amount of times I’ve been told I’m not sexy. I just go: ‘I’m a lot of things. Just because I don’t wear my sexiness overtly doesn’t mean that I can’t become that girl for a role.
What right does Congress have to go around making laws just because they deem it necessary?
Just because someone tells you they love you, it doesn’t mean they actually do.
I keep it real normal, like I don’t try to act like a celebrity, or say that just because I’m on a TV show I can do other types of TV. I take it very seriously and I respect the art of acting.
I think I’m prouder of ‘The Victim’ than anything else, just because, if nothing else, it doesn’t look silly, it doesn’t look stupid. It holds up. It’s fun. A lot of people have enjoyed it, and I’m real happy about it.
Just because a situation is grim doesn’t mean you don’t have every right to smile.
I will never, ever support a law that could clearly lead to an abuse of power just because of some lip service assuring me that it won’t be used that way. To me, that’s not enough.
I always gravitate towards the independent side of things, just because those are the stories I always fall in love with, but you don’t really get paid, and living in Los Angeles is expensive, and I have a mortgage to pay. So it’s good to jump onto a studio film and then in all my other time do small passion projects.
Once a year I will clean my room, just because I feel I should.
I don’t think that just because you go on stage you are an exhibitionist.
My mom is real passionate and a family-first woman. She always told me that just because I can shoot a basketball better than someone else, I shouldn’t think that I’m better than them. I know if I change, my friends and family would lay me down. She just wants to see her kids do right.
That’s one of the things that is hardest about being the Bachelor. You often have to end relationships that are actually going quite well, just because your time together is up. If other relationships are further along, you have to go with your gut and follow your heart.
I’m very proud of ‘Gavin and Stacey,’ but I think I have to write something else even to start to consider myself a writer. Just because you do something once, it doesn’t mean that’s who you are. I played football last night; it doesn’t mean I’m a footballer.
I thank God for my failures. Maybe not at the time but after some reflection. I never feel like a failure just because something I tried has failed.
Just because someone is your family member doesn’t mean they’re a good person.
I try so hard to be true to myself. I hope I can help other girls realize that they don’t have to do things just because everyone else is doing them.
The bottom line is fans just want to hear a good song. Some people will look underneath to see who wrote it, but they just want to hear a good song. And if they don’t hear it, they’re not going to buy it just because you wrote it.
I don’t necessarily see myself as an experienced filmmaker just because I’ve been in a few movies.
I’m far from being reclusive. I have 30- or 40-year friendships that I prefer to meeting new people. I go to an occasional party, but just because I don’t go to a lot of events, and I’m not out in public all the time doesn’t mean I’m anti-social or a recluse.
Just because it’s in print doesn’t mean it’s the gospel.
Sometimes I can’t stop myself from buying things just because I see them – even when I don’t really need them.
People think that it’s ok to degenerate and disrespect someone just because they’re in the public eye.
First and foremost, I would like to start off by saying that just because my husband is an entertainer, that does not mean that our personal business is for everyone’s entertainment purposes.
I like recording by myself wherever I can, just because then I feel like I have ultimate freedom, and I can just control whatever I want to put down. There’s something about going into your own little world.
I don’t see how we can have both the freedoms we had before and the safety net that we all need considering the way the world is today. And that’s just because human beings can’t trust each other. We’ve given in over and over to some of the darkest elements that exist in life itself.
Just because you’ve got a hit doesn’t mean you’ve made it.
I opt for clothes that complement my body type. I am not someone who will go for something just because it is trendy and not look good on me. I would choose clothes which are comfortable and accentuate my body type.
Let’s get one thing straight: I am not an adrenaline junkie. Just because you cover conflict doesn’t mean you thrive on adrenaline. It means you have a purpose, and you feel it is very important for people back home to see what is happening on the front line, especially if we are sending American soldiers there.
Why on earth is the ‘New Yorker‘ publishing puff pieces about pretty girls who go to parties? Does the ‘New Yorker’ ever run photos of cute boys just because they’re cute and they come from money and they go to lots of parties?
I’m a huge Muppets fan. Gigantic. I think they’re genius. I think they’re some of the best work out there and completely underrated, just because of how genius they are. I love that kind of humor. It’s so innocent but brilliant.
Just because someone lives in a hut, that doesn’t mean that isn’t a good person, that that person can’t do better, that person isn’t capable of being great. And just because it’s a hut – whatever that means – doesn’t mean it’s not a home.
Just because you can have a baby, it doesn’t mean you should. Especially without planning for one or getting married first.
Just because you’re gay doesn’t mean you’re not homophobic.
I get a lot of ‘Oh, you’ve been gone.’ I wasn’t gone. Just because you didn’t see me doesn’t mean I wasn’t working and collecting checks. I just wasn’t singing and doing videos. I do a lot of other things, like I said, like writing scripts and stuff like that. I write for other artists.
Just because you work in the fashion industry, it doesn’t mean you live your life in fashion.
Just because many of my friends happen to be male it doesn’t mean I’m having an affair with them.
I’m not one of your knockabout, knuckle-scarred, Internet-controversy-courting book critics. Occasionally I stumble into controversy accidentally, but not because I enjoy it. It’s probably just because I’m a weird person.
They call me racist too just because I disagree with a President who happens to be black. You are not racists – you are patriots.
Just because 50,000 people on the Internet know me, I’m not patting myself on the back at the end of the night.
I think a person of colour in any situation should be qualified to do the job. Not just because of the colour of their skin.
Giving kids whatever they ask for is disastrous parenting. There’s no sense of something earned. I’m sorry, but when you’re 12, you don’t need a new cell phone every few months just because a new one comes out.
I’m a mother myself, and sometimes mothers get a bad rap just because they’ve tried to do their job. Some people have more of a knack for it than others do, but almost all of it falls to, ‘My mother’s suffocating me.’ Whatever.
I don’t agree when the USA, that lives by a constitution, says, OK, just because you look this way, we’re going to ask you for your documentation, or you gotta go back to your country.
I never appreciated ‘positive heroes’ in literature. They are almost always cliches, copies of copies, until the model is exhausted. I prefer perplexity, doubt, uncertainty, not just because it provides a more ‘productive‘ literary raw material, but because that is the way we humans really are.
In terms of characters I wish I had created – just because I haven’t dealt with anything like them – I’m really impressed by characters who can endure over time, whether that be a long series run like a Harry Bosch, or a character who endures over generations and continues to please readers: Sherlock Holmes.
People have always called me Schneider Monkey just because of my energy and mass consumption of bananas. Plus, I just love monkeys, so I thought, ‘Well, I love monkeys, I love my fans, why not put the two together?’
The joy of doing ‘Sandman’ was doing a comic and telling people, ‘No, it has an end,’ at a time when nobody thought you could actually get to the end and stop doing a comic that people were still buying just because you’d finished.
What I’ve learned is that the audience is constantly rotating. Just because it feels like I’ve said it, there are millions and millions of people that have still never heard of it.
We also cannot allow Wall Street banks to rewrite the Second Amendment just because they’re too big to fail.
Just because you get to a certain number doesn’t mean you have to roll up into a ball and wait for the grim reaper. We were put on this earth to do something! If you stop using your brain, at any age, it is going to stop working. It’s like if you stop using your hand, it will atrophy. I think doing nothing is a curse.
I don’t have this feeling like, ‘Oh, I want to live in the United States and make movies and become famous just because the money is here.’ I like to make movies that tell stories that I care about.
I have to admit that I really don’t care for horror movies all that much. I think mainly just because I’m a cheap scare.
I get offered a World War II movie at least once a week just because I speak German and was born there. I have always stayed away from it because I didn’t want to be put into that box.
I did a terrible television pilot that was so badly written and dumb that it became a turning point for me and I decided that I would never accept a job just because I needed the money.
That’s what we wanted to get across in that moment, particularly when Shaun goes to the shop when he’s all hung over. He doesn’t notice any of the zombies around him just because he never had before, so why should he at that point?
Special effects are characters. Special effects are essential elements. Just because you can’t see them doesn’t mean they aren’t there.
I feel like it’s big now with the passing of Mac Miller. Rest in peace, Mac Miller, who was a good friend of mine. That just showed people, like, it could happen to anybody. Just because you have fame or money, you’re not immune to negativity and depression and stress.
People – especially white people – they want me to be a role model just because of the life I lead. The things I say in my songs, they expect it of me.
Just because a man lacks the use of his eyes doesn’t mean he lacks vision.
I really believe that you grow up a certain way in New York. There’s a New York morality, a sense of loyalty. You know how to win and lose. There’s a thousand kids outside, you know who to push and who not to push. There’s a sixth sense you develop just because it’s New York.
No matter what, your parents are going to worry about you. I had a tour bus, and my mother still thought I was broke. Remember: It’s your life, not theirs. Just because your parents sent you to college doesn’t mean they bought the rest of your life.
I had this totally impossible dream of being an actress. Trust me, just because I’m lucky enough to be doing this doesn’t make any of this less of a pipe dream. And nothing gets my juices flowing like a really great performance. To see someone on stage, I get really excited.
I don’t believe love goes away just because you’re buried in a casket.
I love shopping in New York just because you walk around and find a little store you’ve never saw before, and you’re like, ‘Oh what’s that? This is my new favorite place.’ I love that about New York.
I personally feel I still have so much to learn as a writer; each novel is better than the one before, just because I’m getting better at it.
Just because we want our favorite team to win does not mean there’s any lack of toughness when a player chooses family first.
I really had a great time working with ‘Modest Mouse,’ just because of the people. I loved writing songs with Isaac Brock, and Jeremiah Green is probably my favorite musician that I’ve worked with.
I am not better than anyone else just because I play football.
My first name during my first match was ‘Lena.’ I was still Lena then, just because we hadn’t gotten a name yet.
It’s nice to be in first place. But just because you’re not on a winner doesn’t mean you’re a loser.
I think just because life is hard, it does seem fun to have a break and laugh about things, so I think in the end, my instincts go there.
