I don't dabble and spend much mind or time dealing with, I don't know, people's perceptions of me. I truly don't. - Matthew McConaughey
I will say this: one of the things that is a pain when you're expecting children is how much advice unsolicited people give you when you're not asking for it. - Matthew McConaughey
I have some good friends of my own who happen to be gay, and when it comes to gay, straight, or whatever, I'm for anything life-affirmative. I'm for gay power, straight power, male power, female power; everybody should feel empowered without oppressing anyone who's different. - Matthew McConaughey
Any artist, the work you do, if it's a painting or if it's a performance, you hope it translates to a common denominator with the people that they see something in their own life in there. Or they see something in somebody else's life. That's what's fun about sharing art. - Matthew McConaughey
We have a big appetite for putting people down but, at the heart of everyone, there's enough room for all of us to succeed. - Matthew McConaughey
I like interacting in the world of ideas, though somehow those ideas have to be tied to some physical reality. One of the things I like the most is dropping a new idea on a bunch of incredibly smart and talented people and then letting them work it out themselves. I like all of that very, very much. - Steve Jobs
I think school is so much harder than real life. People are so much more accepting when they are adults. - Natalie Portman

Going to a party, for me, is as much a learning experience as, you know, sitting in a lecture. - Natalie Portman

I don't mean to criticize anyone in any way that I wouldn't criticize myself. I think people should have fun, and have a good time, and enjoy the luck that we have to be lazy and dwell in consumerism. But I think that it's a balance. And our job as actors is empathy. - Natalie Portman
So I won't say I'm lucky. I'm fortunate enough to find or attract very talented people. For some reason I found them, and they found me. - Peter Dinklage
I do not fault anyone else who makes choices to play characters that they wished they hadn't... Because at the end of the day, none of us are happy with our jobs all the time. - Peter Dinklage
I think if actors are successful at one thing, they paint themselves into a corner sometimes, and what's the fun in that? - Peter Dinklage
Maybe everyone is a little too reassuring that things are going to be OK to college graduates. It gives them a false sort of security. - Peter Dinklage
I have a need to always make people laugh. I have a desperate need. I love a great sense of humor. The people I sort of surround myself with have that. - Peter Dinklage
Never forget what you are, the rest of the world will not. Wear it like armor and it can never be used to hurt you. - Peter Dinklage
I don't like people being cautious and tentative and choosing their words carefully around me because I'm a dwarf. - Peter Dinklage
