A Quote by Lisa Kleypas

My theory about meeting people,' he said,'is that it's better not to make a really good first impression. Because it's all downhill from there. You're always having to live up to that first impression, which was just an illusion.

There's an expression in life: "You can only make one first impression." And that first impression has to be spectacular. So, I wait, and let people see it when it's ready to go. It's not a set rule, but I think it's the better way of working. People will agree with you because of your track record, but you want people to like it because it's good, not because you found it.

Simon Cowell

The first impression that I liked doing was an impression of Cheri Oteri's Barbara Walters impression on 'SNL.' I found that I could mimic that pretty well, and people got a kick out of that.

Kate McKinnon

You only get one chance to make the first impression. And I made the biggest first impression ever by throwing the Big Show over the top rope.

Cesaro

First impression is unfair, because a first impression of somebody is guarded, and you don't know the person.

Frank Oz

A visual always brings a first impression. But if there's going to be a first impression, I might as well use it to control the story. So why not do something like throw a mask on?

MF Doom

I've seen promotions rush things to market and not be strategic about it. The first impression is the lasting impression.

Jeff Jarrett

In the movies first impressions are everything. Or, to put it less drastically, in the movies there are no later impressions without a first impression, because you will have stopped watching. Sometimes a critic persuades you to give an unpromising-looking movie a chance, but the movie had better convey the impression pretty quickly that the critic might be right.

Clive James

A firm, hearty handshake gives a good first impression, and you'll never be forgiven if you don't live up to it.

P. J. O'Rourke

The essence of building your own brand. People having heard of you - and having a positive impression - before you've even met them. If you can create that effect, doors open for you. A close second, if that's not possible, is people getting a good impression of o very quickly when they Google you

Michael Ellsberg

You'll never make a good impression on other people until you stop thinking what sort of impression you make.

C. S. Lewis

The scariest people to turn a movie over to are always the people who are drawing up the poster, because that's the first impression it's going to make. And very often it's portraying a very different film from the one the actors actually did.

Jesse Eisenberg

I think that rather being overly-friendly at first, having a cold first impression and slowly making them realize that I'm not that cold is better.

Jessica Jung

Your agents and your managers will always say stuff to you like, "It's really important to make a good first impression on a casting director. And even though you didn't get that job, because you did well that means they'll keep bringing you back in." But when you really just need a job to pay your rent, that stops being very consoling.

Gillian Jacobs

Whenever I went to L.A. the first thing people said in the meeting, no matter what it was about, was how much they loved 'Peakys.' So Hollywood was really going for it which is always a good start. Also Snoop Dogg is a big fan.

Steven Knight

If it's just the voice, then you can only do jokes. It's not really even about the impression so much. It's about the take and what you do with the person. I try to get a character across with the impression.

Frank Caliendo

A good impression is great. But a bad impression is even better.

Ted Cruz
