Delirium takes over Oakland Scott Strazzante / The Chronicle Right: Stephen Curry's wife, Ayesha, and limelight-grabbing daughter, Riley, wait for Game 6 to start at the Quicken Loans Arena in Cleveland. ~ Anonymous
Limelight quotes by Anonymous
One has to be suspicious of anyone who seeks the limelight. ~ Marty Rubin
Limelight quotes by Marty Rubin
When attention turns into indifference or love fades away into a grey zone of discomfort, only imagination can bring us back to the limelight of life. ("Is that all there is?") ~ Erik Pevernagie
Limelight quotes by Erik Pevernagie
You steal the limelight, you steal the market share ~ Barbara Corcoran
Limelight quotes by Barbara Corcoran
On occasions I have been big-headed. I think most people are when they get in the limelight. I call myself Big Head just to remind myself not to be. ~ Brian Clough
Limelight quotes by Brian Clough
I've never been much for self-revelation. In two decades of public life, I always approached the limelight with extreme caution. Not that I kept my personal life off-limits; rather, the personal life I put on display was a blend of fact and fiction. ~ James McGreevey
Limelight quotes by James McGreevey
I wouldn't like to be that famous, I value my privacy. Mind you, Miss Piggy enjoys every moment of it. If it were not for me, she would spend all her time in the limelight. ~ Frank Oz
Limelight quotes by Frank Oz
Add to this the pride of achievement; the desire to rank among the successful souls on earth, and we have the factors which have brought some of the ablest of human beings into the limelight that revealed them to an admiring world, as leaders and examples. ~ Lewis Howard Latimer
Limelight quotes by Lewis Howard Latimer
Some people are better at handling the limelight than others. ~ Richard Prince
Limelight quotes by Richard Prince
The moment men begin to care more for education than for religion they begin to care more for ambition than for education. It is no longer a world in which the souls of all are equal before heaven, but a world in which the mind of each is bent on achieving unequal advantage over the other. There begins to be a mere vanity in being educated whether it be self-educated or merely state-educated. Education ought to be a searchlight given to a man to explore everything, but very specially the things most distant from himself. Education tends to be a spotlight; which is centered entirely on himself. Some improvement may be made by turning equally vivid and perhaps vulgar spotlights upon a large number of other people as well. But the only final cure is to turn off the limelight and let him realize the stars. ~ G.K. Chesterton
Limelight quotes by G.K. Chesterton
You have to get in the limelight based on what you do, how creative you are, and not how much money you make. ~ Jason Calacanis
Limelight quotes by Jason Calacanis
Certainly there are dozens of over-50 actresses who look great: Sophia Loren, Susan Sarandon, Ursula Andress, Stefanie Powers, Raquel Welch, Barbara Eden, Joanna Lumley, Linda Gray - the list is endless, and these are just the actresses! I have many friends in their 60s, 70s and 80s, not in the limelight, but who all look absolutely stunning. ~ Joan Collins
Limelight quotes by Joan Collins
Ever since I was a kid, I was always a fan of hip hop. If you get your limelight whether your sixteen or twenty-one or wherever you're at, you get your lime when you get your lime, but if you're a part of hip hop and a child of hip hop, then you will always be a part of hip hop. ~ Lil' Mama
Limelight quotes by Lil' Mama
I knew that people disliked me, and there always will be, but that's the price you pay for being in the limelight, so to speak. ~ Tyler Hamilton
Limelight quotes by Tyler Hamilton
Books are educational; so you can buy as many as you want. Sophie Kinsella, shopping at the Limelight Marketplace ~ Sophie Kinsella
Limelight quotes by Sophie Kinsella
To lead anonymously is to forfeit the limelight in exchange for a deep sense of joy that God is at work in the midst of your influence. While you might plant a seed, God makes it grow and bear much fruit. ~ Ralph Mayhew
Limelight quotes by Ralph Mayhew
When a young artist is ready, one has to bring him into the limelight. ~ Placido Domingo
Limelight quotes by Placido Domingo
The leadership challenge for celebrities and those in the limelight includes turning focus from being self-centred to influencing vulnerable and gullible youngsters, especially teenagers, in a positive way; realising that it is possible to entertain and increase following without promoting societal vices like drug & alcohol abuse, irresponsible sexual behaviour, prejudice of all kinds, criminal heroism, gangsterism and all forms of violence. ~ Archibald Marwizi
Limelight quotes by Archibald Marwizi
I'd rather stay away from the limelight. Not because I'm trying to be a good boy and all that stuff. I just love quiet. ~ Cliff Floyd
Limelight quotes by Cliff Floyd
With my time in the limelight, I regret that I didn't use it more to push vegetarianism. I support vegetarian options in the school lunch program. ~ Bernhard Goetz
Limelight quotes by Bernhard Goetz
I'm uncomfortable with the limelight. I'm not the type to go to the places where I know I'll be seen. I'd rather keep a low profile. ~ Rachel Hurd-Wood
Limelight quotes by Rachel Hurd-Wood
I try to make very careful decisions about what I choose to do, and it's - I know that unfortunately one of the misperceptions about me, I think, is that I'm sort of a moth to the limelight. ~ Monica Lewinsky
Limelight quotes by Monica Lewinsky
The worse I do in school, the more I rebel. I drink, I smoke pot, I act like an ass. I'm dimly aware of the inverse ratio between my grades and my rebellion, but I don't dwell on it. I prefer Nick's theory. He says I don't do well in school because I have a hard-on for the world. It might be the only thing he's ever said about me that's halfway accurate. (He typically describes me as a cocky showboater who seeks the limelight. Even my father knows me better than that.) My general demeanor does feel like a hard-on - violent, involuntary, unstoppable - and so I accept it as I accept the many changes in my body. ~ Andre Agassi
Limelight quotes by Andre Agassi
She was one of those quiet heroes that we have all across America.They're not famous. Their names are not in the newspapers, but each and every day they work hard. They aren't seeking the limelight. All they try to do is just do the right thing. ~ Barack Obama
Limelight quotes by Barack Obama
The ability to speak is a short cut to distinction. It puts a man in the limelight, raises him head and shoulders above the crowd. ~ Lowell Thomas
Limelight quotes by Lowell Thomas
I don't know if I'd wanna be in the limelight. ~ Georgia Salpa
Limelight quotes by Georgia Salpa
Ronan was normally a shy guy with the nerdy classes and was never a hit with the babes and thought he was been offered it on a plate. He had died and gone to heaven, been in the limelight was all good. This stout was great stuff it totally relaxed him and made him cool and the babes loved it. Who would have guessed it Ronan was a sex machine? He wriggled his hips and enjoyed the moment oblivious to Katie's glares and killer looks from the edge of the dance floor. Katie stood with a raised complexion with her hands folded across her chest and tapped her heels in irritation. It did her no good, nobody noticed". ~ Annette J. Dunlea
Limelight quotes by Annette J. Dunlea
Horror does better when it's bubbling under. It's a niche. It doesn't like the limelight. ~ Robert Englund
Limelight quotes by Robert Englund
Well, I'm not one of those people who needs the limelight. If I'm performing, that's what I'm doing. If I'm not, I don't long for it. I don't need the approval of an audience, or applause. ~ Patti Smith
Limelight quotes by Patti Smith
In America, it takes about two weeks in the limelight for the whole country to think you've been around for years. ~ Matt Taibbi
Limelight quotes by Matt Taibbi
I truly believe that people like myself, who are in a position of entertainers in the limelight, should keep their mouth shut on politics. ~ Kid Rock
Limelight quotes by Kid Rock
As a child i used to complain to my father about not having toys and he would say (calvero points at his own head) this is the greatest toy ever created. Here lies the secret of all happiness. ~ Anonymous
Limelight quotes by Anonymous
Honestly, I just think we all have special gifts, everyone. You know, obviously, some are more noticeable than others and that's why there's the limelight. Everybody's in it. ~ Kelly Clarkson
Limelight quotes by Kelly Clarkson
If I have a look around at the moment I feel great relief because finally others are entering the limelight. Men like Robert Pattinson must now play the Adonis. For me it was always a restraint, a restriction. ~ Jude Law
Limelight quotes by Jude Law
I can't understand why Scholes has never won the player of the year award. He should have won it long ago. Maybe it's because he doesn't seek the limelight like some of the other 'stars'. ~ Thierry Henry
Limelight quotes by Thierry Henry
Not everybody wants to have the same career. I think what's difficult is when you have two people that do something very, very similar and they both, say, want the limelight. That's very tricky. ~ Tori Amos
Limelight quotes by Tori Amos
Let me say that the credit belongs to the boys in the back rooms. It isn't the man who sits in the limelight like me who should have the praise. ~ Max Aitken, Lord Beaverbrook
Limelight quotes by Max Aitken, Lord Beaverbrook
Real greatness is often humble, simple, and unobtrusive. It is not easy to trust ourselves and our actions without public affirmation. Some of the greatest works of art and the most important works of peace were created by people who had no need for the limelight. They knew that what they were doing was their call, and they did it with great patience, perseverance, and love. ~ Henri Nouwen
Limelight quotes by Henri Nouwen
Bookish folk aren't what they used to be. Introverted, reserved, studious. There was a time when bookish folk would steer clear of trendy bars, dinner occasions and gatherings. Any social or public encounters would be avoided at all costs because these activities were very un-bookish. Bookish people preferred to stay in, or to sit alone in a quiet pub, reading a good book, or getting some writing done. Writers, in fact, perhaps epitomised these bookish traits most strongly. At least, they used to.
These days, bookish people, such as writers, are commonly found on stage, headlining festivals, or being interviewed on TV. Author events and performances have proliferated, becoming established parts of a writer's role. It's not that authors have suddenly become more extroverted – it's more a case that their job description has changed.
Of course, not all writers are bookish. Not in the traditional sense of the word anyway. Some are well suited for public life, particularly those from certain academic backgrounds where public speaking is encouraged and confidence in social situations is shaped and formed. These writers may even be termed 'gregarious', and are thus happy being offered up for speaking engagements, stage discussions and signings. Good for them. But the others – the timid, shy and mousy authors – they're being thrust into the limelight too. That's my lot. The social wipeouts. Unprepared and ill-equipped to face our reader audience. What's most concerning is ~ Paul Ewen
Limelight quotes by Paul Ewen
In the limelight I play it off fine, but I can't handle it when I turn off my night-light. ~ Kesha
Limelight quotes by Kesha
She was an auxiliary nurse but training to be a true nurse because that was her calling, to serve mankind. She was a Martha. There were Marys and Marthas, but Marys got all the limelight because of being Christ's handmaiden, but Marthas were far more sincere. ~ Edna O'Brien
Limelight quotes by Edna O'Brien
Ideas at first considered outrageous or ridiculous or extreme gradually become what people think they've always believed. How the transformation happened is rarely remembered, in part because it's compromising: it recalls the mainstream when the mainstream was, say, rabidly homophobic or racist in a way it no longer is; and it recalls that power comes from the shadows and the margins, that our hope is in the dark around the edges, not the limelight of center stage. Our hope and often our power. ~ Rebecca Solnit
Limelight quotes by Rebecca Solnit
Our problems stem from our childhood. Ray was, for so long, the only boy. Then I arrive and take all his limelight away from him. That must have quite a profound effect. I sometimes think that Ray was only happy for three-and-a-half years in his life. And those were the three-and-a-half years before I was born. ~ Dave Davies
Limelight quotes by Dave Davies
There's fears in everyone's job. Ours are in the limelight, and people think we're incredibly privileged or nuts to do what we do for a living. ~ Rami Malek
Limelight quotes by Rami Malek
It's hard to be in the limelight and write songs that cater to fans that have expectations of you. We just want to write songs that we love, but all the different people with different ideas coming in make it difficult. We have to ask ourselves if we're writing for the most important people: the fans. ~ Josh Dun
Limelight quotes by Josh Dun
I think my mother was baffled by me. We were polar opposites. She was shy and retiring. I was over-fond of the limelight. Many times in my life, I was conscious of embarrassing her with my carrying on. ~ Laurie Graham
Limelight quotes by Laurie Graham
Elizabeth ran her finger along the windowsill, gathering dust. The view was almost exactly the same as from her own bedroom, only a few degrees shifted. She could still see the Rosens' place, with its red door and folding shutters, and the Martinez house, with its porch swing and the dog bowl. She'd heard once that what made you a real New Yorker was when you could remember back three laters -- the place on the corner that had been a bakery and then a barbershop before it was a cell-phone store, or the restaurant that had been Italian, then Mexican, then Cuban. The city was a palimpsest, a Mod Podged pileup or old signage and other people's failures. Newcomers saw only what was in front of them, but people who had been there long enough were always looking at two or three other places simultaneously. The IRT, Canal Jeans, the Limelight. So much of the city she'd fallen in love with was gone, but then again, that's how it worked. It was your job to remember. At least the bridges were still there. Some things were too heavy to take down. ~ Emma Straub
Limelight quotes by Emma Straub
Being in the limelight with 'Glee,' I've definitely felt pressure to stay fit. But honestly, you have to ignore it. ~ Jenna Ushkowitz
Limelight quotes by Jenna Ushkowitz
I have always felt it was a handicap for oppressed peoples to depend so largely upon a leader, because unfortunately in our culture, the charismatic leader usually becomes a leader because he has found a spot in the public limelight. ~ Ella Baker
Limelight quotes by Ella Baker
It's a big change for a country boy like me, to be in the limelight in New York City. It was most definitely a tough adjustment. ~ Brandon Jacobs
Limelight quotes by Brandon Jacobs
"The life of the union depends upon more people getting to share the limelight, because with the limelight also comes responsibility and with the responsibility comes a little sharing of the load." "There isn't enough money to organize poor people. There never is enough money to organize anyone. If you put it on the basis of money, you're not going to succeed." ~ Cesar Chavez
Limelight quotes by Cesar Chavez
One can't work/by limelight.//A bowlful/right at/one's elbow//produces no/more than/a baleful/glow against/the kitchen table.//The fruit purveyor's/whole unstable/pyramid//doesn't equal/what daylight did. ~ Kay Ryan
Limelight quotes by Kay Ryan
My lovely wife Janet has been in a few paintings. She is basically a reserved woman who has never sought the limelight. She has always been there throughout my career and continues to be at my side. ~ LeRoy Neiman
Limelight quotes by LeRoy Neiman
I've spent years when I've not been in the limelight at all and I'm perfectly happy living my life without being swooped on by paparazzi. ~ Joan Collins
Limelight quotes by Joan Collins
I don't like seeing myself on screen. Whenever I see or hear myself, I think, 'What is that eejet doing now?' I'm in the wrong business. I don't like the limelight. ~ Terry Wogan
Limelight quotes by Terry Wogan
Money's not important to me. Movie star acknowledgement is not important to me. I don't want to be a big studio actress. I don't want to be in the limelight. ~ Moira Kelly
Limelight quotes by Moira Kelly
[Fall, 1951]

To me Acapulco is the detoxicating cure for all the evils of the city: ambition, vanity, quest for success in money, the continuous contagious presence of power-driven, obsessed individuals who want to become known, to be in the limelight, noticed, as if life among millions gave you a desperate illness, a need of rising above the crowd, being noticed, existing individually, singled out from a mass of ants and sheep. It has something to do with the presence of millions of anonymous faces, anonymous people, and the desperate ways of achieving distinction. Here, all this is nonsense. You exist by your smile and your presence. You exist for your joys and your relaxations. You exist in nature. You are part of the glittering sea, and part of the luscious, well-nourished plants, you are wedded to the sun, you are immersed in timelessness, only the present counts, and from the present you extract all the essences which can nourish the senses, and so the nerves are still, the mind is quiet, the nights are lullabies, the days are like gentle ovens in which infinitely wise sculptor's hands re-form the lost contours, the lost sensations of the body. The body comes to life. Quests, pursuits of concrete securities of one kind or another lose all their importance. As you swim, you are washed of all the excrescences of so-called civilization, which includes the incapacity to be happy under any circumstances. ~ Anais Nin
Limelight quotes by Anais Nin
We don't all have to be in the limelight to be reaching our potential,' Jack said, keeping his voice even. 'There's something to be said for raising a family and being part of my community. ~ Colleen Coble
Limelight quotes by Colleen Coble
I'm not interested in the limelight. ~ Catherine Ashton
Limelight quotes by Catherine Ashton
However, after 1930 Liddell never competed again in public in a major athletic meeting. Did he ever regret missing the 1928 Olympics and the chance of winning at least another gold medal? Did he lament trading fame and glory for a life of obscurity and hardship? He gave clear and unequivocal answers to these questions when interviewed in Canada at the end of his first furlough in 1932. 'Are you glad you gave your life to missionary work? Don't you miss the limelight, the rush, the frenzy, the cheers, the rich red wine of victory?' probed the interviewer in rather florid prose. 'Oh well, of course it's natural for a chap to think over all that sometimes,' replied Liddell. 'But I'm glad I'm at the work I'm engaged in now. A fellow's life counts for far more for this than the other. Not a corruptible crown, but an incorruptible one, you know. ~ Julian Wilson
Limelight quotes by Julian Wilson
I have always been focused on my job. No profession allows you the luxury of being half-focused. If you're not into it, you're not there. And the film industry is all the more harsh in these cases, perhaps because it's a business of the limelight. ~ Deepika Padukone
Limelight quotes by Deepika Padukone
I grew up as normally as any other kid. Between that small TV part I did at five and when I turned professional actor at 18, I stayed away from the limelight, so I was just like any typical kid who went to school. ~ Timothy Hutton
Limelight quotes by Timothy Hutton
I'm always honest, whether I'm in the limelight or not. ~ Anne Heche
Limelight quotes by Anne Heche
Our souls, that is our selves, are like a jumbled heap of pins: interests, thoughts, emotions, volitions, and feelings -- our life at work, our life of play, our domestic and social life, our life in the limelight, and our life alone -- all a heap of pins pointing in all directions and getting in one another's way. But the slow approach of a magnet sorts the jumble out in a remarkable way, confusion becomes a pattern, each pin points in the same direction, and all is achieved by the focus of magnetic power. It is superfluous to add that the only magnet which can sort out all the intricacies of the human soul is God. In short the state of perfect recollection is that most characteristic expression of the work of the Holy Ghost; the creation of order out of chaos. ~ Martin Thornton
Limelight quotes by Martin Thornton
I make conscious decisions to stay out of the limelight. Without my make-up I'm pretty much the girl next door. ~ Eva Mendes
Limelight quotes by Eva Mendes
It's one thing to go through a crisis grandly, yet quite another to go through every day glorifying God when there is no witness, no limelight, and no one paying even the remotest attention to us. ~ Oswald Chambers
Limelight quotes by Oswald Chambers
The intoxication with the theatre, with its limelight, costumes, and masks, and with its passions and conflicts, accords well with the adolescence of a man who was to act his role with an intense sense of the dramatic, and of whose life it might indeed be said that its very shape had the power and pattern of classical tragedy. ~ Isaac Deutscher
Limelight quotes by Isaac Deutscher
I've always had a huge fear of dying or becoming ill. The thing I'm most afraid of, though, is being alone, which I think a lot of performers fear. It's why we seek the limelight - so we're not alone, were adored. We're loved, so people want to be around us. The fear of being alone drives my life. ~ Jennifer Lopez
Limelight quotes by Jennifer Lopez
My wife is not a public person. She is uncomfortable with the limelight, which is why I love her. I don't want a political wife - I want someone who, when I get home, I can have a normal life with. ~ Jeb Bush
Limelight quotes by Jeb Bush
My musical education started in the limelight, because I found myself surrounded by real musicians, but after my career had taken off. ~ John Lurie
Limelight quotes by John Lurie
Only then did she realize no one was chanting or laughing or staring at her anymore. How strange that she'd dissipated the attention by accepting it and stepping into the limelight for one blissful moment. ~ Sarah Sundin
Limelight quotes by Sarah Sundin
It's tough for those celebrity couples. It's really hard. My wife wasn't in the limelight, which made it easier ... the key is to keep it happy, light, and fun. ~ Joey Fatone
Limelight quotes by Joey Fatone
Watching Limelight with my mother really brought home to me the brevity of life. I realized in a little while that I would die and leave everything behind. Unlike vain people, I had the ability to think this right through. I had no difficulty in picturing full theatres and cinemas long after myself was gone. Not everybody can do that. Many are so intoxicated with sensual impressions that they're not able to grasp that there is a world out there. And therefore they're not able to comprehend the opposite either - they don't understand that one day the world will end. We, however, are only a few missing heartbeats away from being divorced from humanity forever. ~ Jostein Gaarder
Limelight quotes by Jostein Gaarder
I made career decisions that came from the part of me who wanted to shun the limelight. ~ Ed Harris
Limelight quotes by Ed Harris
Be humble, be gracious, and make peace with inner fears before stepping out into the limelight and allowing yourself to be subjected to all of humanity. ~ Maximillian Degenerez
Limelight quotes by Maximillian Degenerez
I'm not the type of person who enjoys the limelight. ~ Katie Leung
Limelight quotes by Katie Leung
By the time I was 10, I was doing plays for Phoenix theater. My first lead role was as the Stinky Cheese Man. I got a taste of the limelight, and I just couldn't stop. It was a way for me to be the artistic, geeky kid that I was, and not get beat up. ~ Alexandra Shipp
Limelight quotes by Alexandra Shipp
I don't miss the limelight, not at all. I'm just more comfortable out of it. I don't miss 'Monday Night Football.' I just don't miss it. I'm lucky. When I stopped playing, I didn't miss it. I feel blessed that it's not been a problem. I have great memories. I feel really lucky. ~ Don Meredith
Limelight quotes by Don Meredith
What to keep of all these reels of film, what to throw away? If we could only take 1 memory on our journey, what would we choose? At the expense of what or whom? And most importantly, how to choose among all these shadows, all these spectres, all these titans? Who are we, when all is said and done? Are we the people we once were or the people we wish we had been? Are we the pain we caused others or the pain we suffered at the hands of others? The encounters we missed or those fortuitous meetings that changed the course of our destiny? Our time behind the scenes that saved us form our vanity or the moment in the limelight that warmed us? We are all of these things, we are the whole life that we have lived, its highs and lows, its fortunes and its hardships, we are the sum of the ghosts that haunt us ... we are a host of characters in one, so convincing in every role we played that it is impossible for us to tell who we really were, who we have become, who we will be. ~ Yasmina Khadra
Limelight quotes by Yasmina Khadra
Yes, I have a website that puts out conservative news. Yes, I am part owner of a gun company. Yes, I'm a Republican who was cast into the limelight for having the temerity to confront Barack Obama on the question of redistributing wealth ... But I'm a working man, and I'm working. ~ Joe Wurzelbacher
Limelight quotes by Joe Wurzelbacher
I'd rather stay out of the limelight until I've done something I feel proud of. ~ Rachel Stevens
Limelight quotes by Rachel Stevens
All unwillingly I opened my eyes - then I opened them wider, and lifted my head. The heat, my weariness, were quite forgotten. Piercing the shadows of the naked stage was a single shaft of rosy limelight, and in the centre of this there was a girl: the most marvellous girl - I knew it at once! - that I had ever seen. ~ Sarah Waters
Limelight quotes by Sarah Waters
Obviously I don't agree with everything he [Donald Trump] says. There's a lot that we have a difference of opinion on. But we can't ignore that he's touched on some issues that people are concerned about. If you look at the statements he made this week, obviously I think he made them partially to recapture the limelight after having lost it. ~ Marco Rubio
Limelight quotes by Marco Rubio
My first language was shy. It's only by having been thrust into the limelight that I have learned to cope with my shyness. ~ Al Pacino
Limelight quotes by Al Pacino
It might seem paradoxical given my profession, but I'm not someone who likes to be in the limelight. ~ Audrey Tautou
Limelight quotes by Audrey Tautou
I was always a bit reluctant with anything like fame and the limelight and it didn't sit very well with me, although I love singing and writing. ~ Alex Parks
Limelight quotes by Alex Parks
He locked himself up in his sanctuary of art and carried the keys with him at all times. He maintained the social façade for financial security. The more tragedies were shackled to his name, the more demand there was for his public persona to clean up after the family name and showcase his art to overshadow his domestic disasters. His prominent reputation in the limelight of the town kept buzzing while the man behind the infamy withered in privacy. ~ Laura Gentile
Limelight quotes by Laura   Gentile
When one doesn't want the limelight, but is also creative in developing whatever it is they are, then you can have two equal people that aren't competing against each other. I think when you are in the same field, it's difficult to leave it outside and not compete. Then when the doors are closed; that pervades everything. ~ Tori Amos
Limelight quotes by Tori Amos
Stories move in from the shadows to the limelight. And though the stage presents the drama of our powerlessness, the shadows offer the secret of our power. ~ Rebecca Solnit
Limelight quotes by Rebecca Solnit
In the old days villains had moustaches and kicked the dog. Audiences are smarter today. They don't want their villain to be thrown at them with green limelight on his face. They want an ordinary human being with failings. ~ Alfred Hitchcock
Limelight quotes by Alfred Hitchcock
I wasn't a perfect thing at 17. I didn't have confidence. I was hunched over and real embarrassed, and I didn't want to be in the limelight. But it changed over time. ~ Lindsay Davenport
Limelight quotes by Lindsay Davenport
I find that my entire life has come to me, and things happened without me planning them. You know, I never asked to photograph Princess Diana, and that made me more famous than I wanted. I never asked to photograph Madonna, and that pushed me to another level. There are things that just take you into the limelight. ~ Mario Testino
Limelight quotes by Mario Testino
How often do we not scold or call ourselves to order? If our needs are utterly fulfilled, it may be that we still remain unsatisfied. By creating additional wants or artificial wishes, we generate a cascade of new desires that outshines our search for genuine needs. Through our loss of authenticity, we fade away in the vapor of pathetic shallowness or vanish into the flamboyance of trivial limelight. ("Consumers' Dream") ~ Erik Pevernagie
Limelight quotes by Erik Pevernagie
If I wake up one day and people tell me I'm not sexy, I'm not going to stop making good music and having fun. That 'sex symbol' thing is typically part of being in the limelight. You better be very talented in your music, but it's good to be nice to look at, I guess. ~ Luke Bryan
Limelight quotes by Luke Bryan
When I do my own books, I take it as more of my own confessional, but when I illustrate for other people, it is intriguing because I feel like I shouldn't be stepping too much into the limelight. It's like playing the piano while someone else is singing. ~ Peter Sis
Limelight quotes by Peter Sis
You go to LA, or you go to New York, and it's really fun to go there. But they're not grounded. Everybody is just competing all the time for the limelight. It's too much entertainment industry. There are too many choices. And it's distracting to me. ~ Bob Seger
Limelight quotes by Bob Seger
Coming back to a television series puts you back in the limelight and gives you a platform for your ideas. If you're not acting on a series, you don't get the ability to communicate to people. ~ Dennis Weaver
Limelight quotes by Dennis Weaver
In a nation of celebrity worshipers, amid followers of the cult of personality, individual modesty becomes a heroic quality. I find heroism in the acceptance of anonymity, in the studied resistance to the normal American tropism toward the limelight. ~ Shana Alexander
Limelight quotes by Shana Alexander
I think Ricky Williams had his time in the limelight. And I think it was good for what it was worth, and that was that. ~ Ricky Williams
Limelight quotes by Ricky Williams
Time is the best author. It always writes the perfect ending. ~ Charlie Chaplin
