Screen Quotations
The reason we wouldn't make a seven-inch tablet isn't because we don't want to hit a price point, it's because we don't think you can make a great tablet with a seven-inch screen.
Steve Jobs
We made the buttons on the screen look so good you'll want to lick them.
Steve Jobs
I'm sorry that we have to have a Washington presence. We thrived during our first 16 years without any of this. I never made a political visit to Washington and we had no people here. It wasn't on our radar screen. We were just making great software.
Bill Gates
When you want to do your homework, fill out your tax return, or see all the choices for a trip you want to take, you need a full-size screen.
Bill Gates
Sex is more exciting on the screen and between the pages than between the sheets.
Andy Warhol
You can scream at me, call me for a shoot at midnight, keep me waiting for hours - as long as what ends up on the screen is perfect.
Arnold Schwarzenegger
Whether you come back by page or by the big screen, Hogwarts will always be there to welcome you home.
J. K. Rowling
I think the fact that I'm so well known to be gay makes it very difficult to have a convincing relationship with a woman on screen. It wouldn't be at all difficult for me to kiss a woman - I'll kiss a frog if you like.
Stephen Fry
Meryl Streep does things I would never have thought possible... Her presence on screen is outstanding.
Leonardo DiCaprio
If I am not confident that I can portray the character perfectly on screen, I won't even try.
Meryl Streep
I don't want to act just to be on the screen doing anything and looking any kind of way.
Tina Turner
There is no worse screen to block out the Spirit than confidence in our own intelligence.
John Calvin
I'm leaving the screen because I don't think I am very good in the pictures and I have this beautiful dream that I'm elegant on the stage.
Helen Hayes
There is no way you can get people to believe you on screen if they know who you really are through television.
Jack Nicholson
I remember all too well the premiere of Ecstasy when I watched my bare bottom bounce across the screen and my mother and father sat there in shock.
Hedy Lamarr
Each day a few more lies eat into the seed with which we are born, little institutional lies from the print of newspapers, the shock waves of television, and the sentimental cheats of the movie screen.
Norman Mailer
If I don't like seeing myself on the screen, I think when I start seeing that, that's when I think I'll stop.
Charlize Theron
Good music comes out of people playing together, knowing what they want to do and going for it. You have to sweat over it and bug it to death. You can't do it by pushing buttons and watching a TV screen.
Keith Richards
No matter what you do, your person comes through. You can't completely change yourself on the screen. I had in mind someone colder and more in control, but I couldn't do it. This human note just crept in and maybe it's better.
Leslie Caron
People should realize that I shot a Coke commercial back in 1986. So, you know, I've been around a long time. I carry my Screen Actors Guild Card.
Kato Kaelin
Others are keen to see if natives other than us live better than we do, without heat in pipes, ice in boxes, sunshine in bulbs, music on disks, or images gliding over a pale screen.
Ella Maillart
In the theater, while you recognized that you were looking at a house, it was a house in quotation marks. On screen, the quotation marks tend to be blotted out by the camera.
Arthur Miller
I always thought the real violence in Hollywood isn't what's on the screen. It's what you have to do to raise the money.
David Mamet
I think that the online world has actually brought books back. People are reading because they're reading the damn screen. That's more reading than people used to do.
Bill Murray
It's fun to see a lot of the crowd become embarrassed. You're kind of watching them almost wanting to not watch the screen, but they have to because it's so compelling!
Will Friedle
Rehearsals and screening rooms are often unreliable because they can't provide the chemistry between an audience and what appears on the stage or screen.
Gene Tierney
Everyone should see Hollywood once, I think, through the eyes of a teenage girl who has just passed a screen test.
Gene Tierney
I don't think I know a Scientologist except when I see one or two of their actors on the Hollywood screen.
Jerry Falwell
I'm a passionate person. I'm a lot of things, like most people are. Most people are dynamic. The focus is not on me though, I'm a screen. The aim is to always keep myself in the position where the screen is clear.
Mos Def
I have always watched the rushes, and have learned more because I have done so, because you can have all manner of ideas in your head, but they have to end up on the screen.
Jacqueline Bisset
