Underneath this flabby exterior is an enormous lack of character.

Oscar Levant

Underneath that rude exterior, you've got a heart of gold.

Ray Davies

Underneath this tired, middle-aged exterior, I'm an 11 year old kid.

Henry Selick

I was never an ingenue. I've always just been a character actor. When I was younger, it was a real problem, because I was never pretty enough. It was hard, not just for the lack of work, but because you have to face up to how people are looking at you.

Kathy Bates

Artists with the lack of proper education and experience of working from life will copy whatever is visible on the photograph, without knowing what's underneath. As a result, instead of creating the in-depth and full of character portrait, they draw a mask with no soul.

Igor Babailov

Humankind seems to have an enormous capacity for savagery, for brutality, for lack of empathy, for lack of compassion.

Annie Lennox

I gazed into the mirror... There, staring at me, was the pallid, flabby-mouthed face of a crook

Sefton Delmer

I've always used masks. I think it's a lot about the fact that masks often reveal a sort of subconscious element to a character. The mask is carved and given an expression or markings to reveal something, even though it's shielding the face. Even though it's hiding the face, it seems to reveal something underneath.

Dave McKean

Some of the best actors in the world are very exterior actors, Anthony Hopkins being one of them. He knows exactly how to turn his face to get a certain expression. He knows exactly what to do with eyes, and with his voice. It's very exterior.

Boris Kodjoe

A lack of money is never, ever, ever a problem. A lack of money is merely a symptom of what is going on underneath.

T. Harv Eker

Some men are one thing on the surface and another underneath. The true poet shows not just the exterior of his subject, but all the contradictions within, and lets the reader draw his own conclusions.

Steven Saylor

Lou Grant was pretty much always Lou Grant.

Mary Tyler Moore

Lou Grant was pretty much always Lou Grant

Mary Tyler Moore

To know yourself as the Being underneath the thinker, the stillness underneath the mental noise, the love and joy underneath the pain, is freedom, salvation, enlightenment.

Eckhart Tolle

What good is it to continue to focus on the exterior technological wonders before us - from indefinite life extension to computer/mind interlinks to unlimited zero-point energy to worm-hole intergalactic space travel - if all we carry with us is an egocentric red-mem Nazis and KKK? Do we really want Jack the Ripper living 400 years, zipping around the country in his hypercar, unleashing misogynistic nanorobots? Exterior developments are clearly a concern; how much more so are interior developments - or lack there of.

Ken Wilber

O Christ, on you the many-eyed cherubim are unable to look because of the glory of your countenance, yet out of your love you accepted spittle on your face. Remove the shame from my face, and grant me to have an unashamed face before you at the time of prayer.

Isaac of Nineveh
