Partly Quotes

I used to watch a lot of American and British television as a child, which helped teach me the language and accents; it was partly that which landed me the part of Roxy in a London production of ‘Chicago’ when I was 25 Picture Quote #1

In Copenhagen, we all ride bicycles everywhere, partly because it is impossible to park a car, but also because you can cross the city in 20 minutes on a bike Picture Quote #1

I come from a school of people, folk singers, and the tradition there is troubadours, and you’re carrying a message. Now admittedly, our job is partly just to make you boogie, just make you want to dance. Part of our job is to take you on a little voyage, tell you a story Picture Quote #1

I’m trying to take more nothing time - and that means sacrificing doing. It’s partly to do with age, partly to do with the fact that writing takes up a lot of space in your head. My ideal is to go back to when I was a child. My life is quieter than it used to be. More and more I don’t really want to talk to people. I’d make a good nun, actually Picture Quote #1

There is a long tradition in China for writers and journalists to take pen names, partly as protection from retaliation by authorities. If Facebook requires the use of real names, that could potentially put Chinese citizens in danger Picture Quote #1

Identity was partly heritage, partly upbringing, but mostly the choices you make in life. ~ Bran Picture Quote #1

The separation of church and state is necessary partly because if religion is good then the state shouldn’t interfere with the religious vision or with the religious prophet Picture Quote #1

Everyone seems agreed that writing about sex is perilous, partly because it threatens to swamp highly individualised characters in a generic, featureless activity (much like coffee-cup dialogue, during which everyone sounds the same), and partly because it feels... tacky Picture Quote #1

The Center for Disease Control started out as the malaria war control board based in Atlanta. Partly because the head of Coke had some people out to his plantation, and they got infected with malaria, and partly ‘cause all the military recruits were coming down and having a higher fatality rate from malaria while training than in the field Picture Quote #1

People judge their capabilities partly by comparing their performances with those of others Picture Quote #1

I like writing. It’s partly control freak, and partly I really like what I do for a living. I have the luckiest job in the world. I can get up every day and do what I love for a living Picture Quote #1

It’s what all actors try to do, really, to just preserve the child inside them because their imagination is quite available. I think partly it’s because they’re still making sense of the world. They haven’t boxed everything up so neatly as most adults have. And the thing is adults haven’t solved the world - they’ve just found a coping mechanism Picture Quote #1

I never had the slightest desire to have cosmetic surgery - partly because I don’t want to look like an alien and partly because it’s nice to age in a way. Also, I think that if your soul is beautiful, then the rest of you stays beautiful Picture Quote #1

The Dalai Lama, these days, encourages Westerners not to take up Buddhism, partly because he feels that our roots are deep in other traditions, and we should go deeper into our own traditions rather than just acquiring the surfaces of others Picture Quote #1

Librarians are wonderful people, partly because they are, on the whole, unaware of how dangerous knowledge is. Karl Marx upended the political landscape of the twentieth century sitting at a library table. Still, modern librarians are more afraid of ingnorance than they are of the potential devastation that knowledge can bring. (p. 192) Picture Quote #1

All my work is partly biographical. I mean, ‘Crash’ was absolutely that, absolutely. But you just wouldn’t recognize me in most of those characters. But I was in every single one of those characters in ‘Crash,’ because those were all fears that I had felt. Things that I had thought in my deepest, darkest heart Picture Quote #1

The most important factors for a long life, I think, are partly in the genes; number two is lifestyle, which includes healthy diet and regular exercise. I walk, run and swim every day. However, I think too much exercise is also unhealthy because of over-stress; sometimes people who exercise too many hours per day die early Picture Quote #1

There are many tough conversations, but one of the most difficult is between a parent and an adolescent daughter, partly because as a parent we are almost always attempting to relate to someone who is no longer there Picture Quote #1

It’s understandable that Europe’s Muslims are in a difficult situation, which is partly their own doing and partly not Picture Quote #1

Whether or not you discover your talents and passions is partly a matter of opportunity. If you’ve never been sailing, or picked up an instrument, or tried to teach or to write fiction, how would you know if you had a talent for these things? Picture Quote #1

I’m glad I did it, partly because it was worth it, but mostly because I shall never have to do it again Picture Quote #1

I’ve seen [Lalla Ward] episodes of Doctor Who. They’re good, at least partly because the scripts were written by Douglas Adams Picture Quote #1

Insurance companies, drug companies are going to have to be ponying up, partly because right now they’re receiving huge subsidies Picture Quote #1

The ice bucket challenge went viral in 2014, partly because it was so much fun to watch videos of celebrities or friends dumping ice water on their heads. Videos of people in the challenge have been watched more than 10 billion times on Facebook - more than once per person on the planet Picture Quote #1

My favorite Elton John song is Daniel; my son is named Daniel and he’s partly named after my wife’s father, but also partly named after that song Picture Quote #1

The truth, or success, of any writer’s story lies partly in its specificity and its emotional honesty Picture Quote #1

Maybe that’s partly why I’m an actor, I’m a fairly empathetic, emotional person, so I get very, very involved when it’s really, really great when I’m watching - so it takes me a second to click back into reality again Picture Quote #1

In my early work, I tried to hide my personality, my psychological state, my emotions. This was partly due to my feelings about myself and party due to my feelings about painting at the time. I sort of stuck to my guns for a while but eventually it seemed like a losing battle. Finally one must simply drop the reserve Picture Quote #1

My obsession with eating out partly comes from having spent 10 long years at English boarding schools in the 1980s, where food was pretty low on the list Picture Quote #1

You want to enjoy life, don’t you? If you get your job done quickly and your job is fun, that’s good isn’t it? That’s the purpose of life, partly. Your life is better Picture Quote #1
