I love the edited version of it.

What I meant when I say that the media are bots, I don't want anybody misunderstand this. I'm watching CNN and one of their infobabes is doing this report on Al Franken questioning [Jeff] Sessions during the confirmation hearings. I'm convinced - and they played an edited version of it. It was edited by somebody to make it look like it was something other than what it was, and I'm convinced this infobabe hasn't the slightest clue.

Rush Limbaugh

People need to be edited; life needs to be edited. I need to be edited.

Andre Leon Talley

I was late to understand that chaos and intensity are no subsitute for lasting love, nor are they necessarily an improvement on real life. Normal people are not always boring. On the contrary. Volatility and passion, although often more romantic and enticing, are not intrinsically preferable to a steadiness of experience and feeling about another person.

Kay Redfield Jamison

His version of 'real' love isn't sufficient for me, I don't think anyone should settle for so little. It wasn't love - not in the true sense. On my part, it was neediness, insecurity, dependence, habit - desperate to feel loved by a man who was often ambivalent towards me.

I've always approached screenplays and so forth with, "How would it really happen?" Not "What's the movie version?" but "What's the real-life version?" Then I just follow my nose.

Alexander Payne

In media terms, the camera always lies, providing an edited version of reality.

Mal Fletcher

When you see an early edited version, you're not sure what it is. The movie is getting on its wobbly legs.

Thomas Newman

After my marriage she edited everything I wrote. And what is more, she not only edited my works, she edited me.

Mark Twain

When the wrong question is being asked, it usually turns out to be because the right question is too difficult. Scientists ask questions they can answer. That is, it is often the case that the operations of a science are not a consequence of the problematic of that science, but that the problematic is induced by the available means.

Richard Lewontin

Everybody talking about being afraid of being boring is boring. You have to go for the real substance of life after awhile.

Lou Barlow

Every couple has two stories - the edited one to be shared from the couch and the unabridged version best left alone.

Emily Giffin

Real life is messy, and drama is a shaped version of real life.

Simon Beaufoy

Dude, I love playing drums, and I love being on stage, and I love recording. It's my life... it's been my life, all my life, and I don't think it could ever become boring for me.

Dave Lombardo

I love memoirs and biographies, learning about other people's lives. Two of the ones that I loved so much were actually edited by the same person who edited my book, too. I loved 'Angela's Ashes.' I loved 'Glass Castle' so much.
