With 2 movies opening this summer, I have no relaxing time at all. Whatever I have is spent in a drunken stupor. – Hugh Grant
Imagine the anticlimax of opening a novel you’d just got Dostoyevsky to sign and finding ‘Keep smiling – Fyodor.’ – Howard Jacobson
I don’t go on tour tours – I just go randomly to cities to do shows if I have an opening in my schedule. – Harland Williams
Nay, be a Columbus to whole new continents and worlds within you, opening new channels, not of trade, but of thought. – Henry David Thoreau
I rode it once, which was up the driveway in the opening credits of the show. I didn’t know how to stop it. I actually nearly killed the director of photography, and I smashed into the sound truck. – Henry Winkler
Even when you’re out with someone, you need to get out of your head. And you can try exercises by putting yourself in situations where you may not feel completely comfortable, like going to a gallery opening on your own. – Hill Harper
Not considering this opening worthy of more attention, I continued our pursuit to the Northwest, being desirous to embrace the advantages of the prevailing breeze. – George Vancouver
Opening up is something I have to learn how to do if I’m going to be in this business. – Grizz Chapman
Only reform and opening up can develop China. We must not be afraid of any risks, and not be confused by any distractions. – Hu Jintao
Marriage brings up all the things I pushed to the back burner – the fears, the mistrust, the doubts, the insecurities. It’s like opening Pandora’s box. – Jennifer Aniston
Obama’s failure to close Guantanamo is yet another instance where the rhetoric of democratic and constitutional rights proved not useful for his international relations, relations which are always pursued in ways that continue to link and fortify securitarian power with the opening of new markets. – Judith Butler
Supernatural movies generally have a much more brooding pace. If you look at films like ‘The Sixth Sense’ or ‘The Others,’ it’s more building up the characters and building up the situation as opposed to just opening with a big action set piece. – James Wan
A jellyfish is little more than a pulsating bell, a tassel of trailing tentacles and a single digestive opening through which it both eats and excretes – as regrettable an example of economy of design as ever was. – Jeffrey Kluger
Warwick Davies is a cracking actor. The opening scene in the last ‘Harry Potter’ film, where he plays a captured Griphook, is mesmerising. His pacing is sublime, and the menace and regret he builds into the scene is fantastic. – Ian Watson
I see the new Latin artist as a pioneer, opening up doors for others to follow. And when they don’t open, we crowbar our way in. – John Leguizamo

Kids want you to take them to whatever kid movie is opening, and you just hope it’s good because you’re going to buy a ticket, no matter what. If it’s no good, you kind of drape your arm over your kid so they don’t get smashed, and you take a little nap. – Jason Bateman
For ‘Filth,’ we had about 12 producers on the thing. The opening credits go on for months. Most of them are actually financers rather than producers. And the only way that we could raise the budget without interference from a studio was to have a lot of different financers on board. – Irvine Welsh
Opening the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge stands to not only increase the United States’ oil reserves by nearly 50 percent, but it will create thousands of good U.S. jobs. – Bob Ney
Opening for The Beatles in San Francisco at the Cow Palace was great. It was terrific fun to do. The tour itself, I must say, wasn’t a whole lot of fun, artistically. It was just more kind of interesting. – Bill Medley
There are so many screenwriters with incredible stories to tell, so I hope there will be some kind of shift in the business where very few types of movies are now made by the studios. There needs to be different budgets for different audiences; not everything having to be a huge opening weekend. – Callie Khouri
I think the state opening of Parliament is an incredibly important occasion, and broadly speaking, the way in which it’s done is an invaluable tradition. – John Bercow
I was hired as a sous-chef at a restaurant on the Upper East Side. The chef liked to drink – some mornings we would find him sleeping. Two weeks after its opening, I became the chef. I was 20 years old, and way over my head. I had to hire the cooks and do the menus. – Bobby Flay
There can be little doubt that fishes swimming rapidly do not make respiratory movements at all, but obtain the necessary ventilation of the gills simply by opening the mouth. – August Krogh
China is doing lots of things right. It’s investing in education and R&D, it’s opening up, it’s more cosmopolitan than it’s ever been. I think it’s very likely that China will continue to explode economically and certainly become a superpower. – Amy Chua
