Before filming I'll be constantly thinking about my role at the back of my mind and slowly build up the intensity until I can explode on set. There is a very fine line between not quite getting there, and getting that bit too intense.

Daniel Mays

I saw that I'd get nowhere on the straight path, and that to go crookedly was straighter.

Nikolai Gogol

The fine line between roaring with laughter and crying because it's a disaster is a very, very fine line. You see a chap slip on a banana skin in the street and you roar with laughter when he falls slap on his backside. If in doing so you suddenly see he's broken a leg, you very quickly stop laughing and it's not a joke anymore.

Roald Dahl

There's a very fine line between a groove and a rut; a fine line between eccentrics and people who are just plain nuts.

Christine Lavin

There's a very fine line between a groove and a rut a fine line between eccentrics and people who are just plain nuts.

I'm a better writer now because I've worked very hard at getting better. My long-range goal will always be to write better books.

George Pelecanos

The world is getting better, but not in a straight line.

James P. Gorman

...the best figurative poetry speaks not to the frivolous intellect, but (if anything does) straight to the heart; and does it better than plain prose. There seems then to be something which is better said with metaphor than without, which goes straighter to its mark by going crooked, and hits its aim exactly by flying off at tangents.

Austin Farrer

There's a very fine line between underacting and not acting at all. And not acting is what a lot of actors are guilty of. It amazes me how some of these little numbers with dreamy looks and a dead pan are getting away wit it. I'd hate to see them on stage with a dog act.

Joan Blondell

Indie music is 'it' now. It's kind of a revolution to the music: 1980s, 1990s music was getting very sanitized; they were complying with the music industry. Music was getting more and more dead in a way. Now, because of the social climate that's very severe, the artists are compelled to start being real. It's really great that indie music is now.

Yoko Ono

Everything right now tends to be the same and very aggressive, and I think people are getting a little burned out on it.

DJ Shadow

You know that it never has been easy Whether you do or do not resign Whether you travel the breadth of the extremities Or stick to some straighter line.

Joni Mitchell

There's a very fine line between pleasure and pain. They are two sides of the same coin, one not existing without the other.

E. L. James

I am very interested in that fine line between fiction and reality and between comedy and tragedy - and pushing the line as much as possible.

Jill McCorkle

There are many crooked lines and one straight line. Which is the line of truth? Why the straight line? Truth is always the shortest distance between two points.
