The media works in sound bites. They can make you look like a genius or stupid.

Kato Kaelin

Those of us with a microphone who are blessed with the gift of being in the public eye have a special opportunity to give voice to all those groups whose activism is sometimes ignored or put on the back pages with the the dumbing down of television and the tabloidization of journalism. As Ralph Nader called it, "sound barks," not even sound bites.

Bonnie Raitt

We look so very different from the way we sound. It’s a shock, similar to hearing your own voice for the first time, when you’re forced to wonder how the rest of you comes across if you sound nothing like the way you think you sound. You feel dislodged from the old shoe of yourself.

Elizabeth Hay

Some directors were brilliant in the silent era but never felt at home in sound. It's like a sculptor being forced to take up painting.

Kevin Brownlow

Whatever you're working on, take small bites. The task will not be overwhelming if you can reduce it to its smallest component.

Richard Russo

It's time that we move from good words to good works, from sound bites to sound solutions.

Hillary Clinton

Life is infinitely complex, and I feel like we live in a culture that really seems to want to simplify it into sound bites and bromides, and that does not work.

Alan Ball

I don't talk in sound bites.

Michael Moore

My radio show, I'd show up, I'd read the data, and I would have sound bites and stuff like that.

Jay Mohr

We live in an age of sound bites and buzz words.

Jaleel White

I like the experience being in the audience and being overwhelmed by sound, like thick, oppressive loud sound and distortion.

Phil Elverum

When we sit in meditation and hear a sound, we think, 'Oh, that sound's bothering me.' If we see it like this, we suffer. But if we investigate a little deeper, we see that the sound is simply sound. If we understand like this, then there's nothing more to it. We leave it be. The sound is just sound, why should you go and grab it? You see that actually it was you who went out and disturbed the sound.

Ajahn Chah

I was born in the summer, but I hate it because I'm allergic to bug bites. I would go play with my cousins, and then we'd go inside and I'd have mosquito bites everywhere. But mine are different - like, they blow up with puss. It's really bad.

Tierra Whack

I'm like a decathlete who does all of the events he's used to, but is being forced by certain circumstances to focus on three events, and being forced to focus on events that he wasn't that interested in, and also weren't his strongest events.

Michael Nyman

Speaking of Twitter, I don't even know if I composed a blog entry in 2009, as I was too busy parceling my every thought into cute 140-character sound bites. I used to only worry about being pithy for a living; now some of my best lines are wasted on a free app!
