A Quote by Brian Fallon

The pedestal is immobilizing and subtly insulting whether or not some women yet realize it. We must move up from the pedestal.

Wilma Scott Heide

I kind of put people from the past up on a pedestal; I don't think, in a lot of ways, that we're at their level.

Whit Stillman

I'm not going to ask musicians to sit there and pretend to play. It feels insulting to the musicians to me.

Chris Stapleton

It's weird being an author because it's different than writing songs. You put so much more of yourself out there to be judged because it's a memoir. So when the reviews come in, they all feel really personal. Some people are just going to hate you no matter what. Personally, I never believe good reviews.

Dean Wareham

Men put me on a pedestal, then never come to visit.

Sharon Stone

Some people who come from high levels in other backgrounds where they're used to being the best or used to being on a kind of pedestal, it's hard to kind of lower yourself again and just be one of the grunts. I kind of enjoyed that challenge in MMA.

Ben Askren

Being a down-to-earth type of individual, I feel like I can connect with people on a different level, versus the GOD-like pedestal that people tend to put us on.

Michael Clayton

It's insulting to believe that teens should have a different kind of book than an adult should.

Matthew Tobin Anderson

It's still a mystery to me, but even though my mother was like an older sister to me, I kind of put her up on a pedestal.

Steven Spielberg

In some ways, jazz is the most precise of art forms and the loosest in the sense that it's all about improvisation, but the musicianship required is kind of insane. To actually play with real jazz musicians is a different level of musicianship that almost has no equal in any other form of music in the world.

Damien Chazelle

There are a lot of movies about misfits that are quite cool, that kind of glamorize it on some level. I think there are fewer films, certainly with a lady at the center, about the agony of what it's like to feel like you're not accepted, and you're different, and somehow you're weird.

Rebecca Hall

People get some success, they get some money, they get some power, and they put themselves on this pedestal above other people. They forget people and try to fit in with their new crews they think they need to be around with. I didn't believe that. I'm still human being.

Max Holloway

I knew that Weird Girl was going to be kind of amazing. The secret truth of Weird Girl is that I put her in there originally because I needed some way to set the boys' names.

John August

As a kid, you put musicians on a pedestal - well, I did. The more you meet bands, and the more you hang around them, you can have normal conversations.

Sharon Van Etten

This sounds weird, but some of my concerts have been kind of dangerous sometimes. I've had a few girls actually sent to the hospital because they faint and all that kind of stuff, which is really, really weird to me.
