I think what's cool about a body-switching movie is, 'The grass is always greener:' the idea that someone else has a better life than I do.

Jim Rash

The only thing that seemed to me I could do in such a way that no one else could was acting. I thought, I can be a doctor, but there's going to be someone else who is just as good or better. I can be a lawyer, which I still sometimes think I would love to be, but I think there's someone who can do it just as good or better.

Marcia Gay Harden

I've always felt that I shouldn't make a movie if someone else could do it better.

Joe Dante

I read the book and I think, "Well, this is the movie we're going to make," and then someone else reads it, and they take a completely different movie from it. And both are valid.

Casey Affleck

I've always been someone who feels better, if I see what I'm going through in a movie.

Lena Dunham

I think any time you set out to make something, anybody is going to be confronted by those voices in their head that say "You don't need to do this. Someone else can do this better. You should probably just quit right now."

Joseph Gordon-Levitt

My approach has always been to put 100% into the movie I'm making right now. I think sometimes filmmakers put too much thought into the grand franchise they're going to build. And guess what? If the first movie doesn't work there is no franchise, so I'm always concentrated on making the best, best possible movie right now.

Paul W. S. Anderson

I'm never aiming to make a movie like someone else's movie, but in order to describe a movie to someone else who hasn't seen it, you usually have to reference things they have seen.

Rob Zombie

I've always liked the idea of memoirs, going into someone else's life, going through someone else's day and getting out of your own head.

Isabel Gillies

The problem with comparison is that you always feel either better than someone else or worthless compared to someone else.

Dillon Burroughs

I wish I had a better metabolism. But someone else probably wishes they could walk into a room and make friends with everyone like I can. You always want what someone else has.

Kelly Clarkson

When you're a movie star and you're young, you are always playing someone who's a better fighter, a better lover, a better everything than you.

Michael Caine

I think when you become a parent you go from being a star in the movie of your own life to the supporting player in the movie of someone else's.

Craig Ferguson

Be independent and don't try to think someone is going to save you or look to someone else to make you happy or look to someone else to complete you.

Bethenny Frankel

My mom is real passionate and a family-first woman. She always told me that just because I can shoot a basketball better than someone else, I shouldn't think that I'm better than them. I know if I change, my friends and family would lay me down. She just wants to see her kids do right.

Derrick Rose

I think what all actors share is that, somewhere down in your solar plexus, there's this fear that you're not going to be able to come up with the goods, that this is the one movie where you're going to look like a fool, and they should have cast someone else. And you feel ugly, and you've got three chins, and you've gained too much weight, and you're losing your hair, and there are so many better actors who could do this. But if you've got chops, what you realize is that everybody feels that way, so just show up and do the job.

William H. Macy
