I saw my friends in medical school seeming to be more engaged with the real world. That provoked a sort of jealousy, and I decided to go to medical school after all.
We try to magnify the difference between Americans and the English. In real life they like the same music and dress the same. It's really much more similar than anyone thinks or how we show it.
Celebrities do look different in real life from our images of them - there is a big gap. And that is what my work is about: the gap between the image and the celebrity themselves.
One forgets too easily the difference between a man and his image, and that there is none between the sound of his voice on the screen and in real life.
My mum still says the biggest mistake I ever made was not being Benedict Lloyd-Hughes. She's very upset. But the only one who calls me Benedict in real life is my granny.
The relationship between Cathy and Mom in the strip is the one relationship drawn from real life that I have proudly never even tried to disguise.
I rarely joke unless I'm in front of a camera. It's not what I am in real life. It's what I do for a living.
More often than not, real life is so rich, complex and unpredictable that it would seem completely implausible in the pages of a novel.
I sometimes think that, since I started writing biographies, I've had more of a life in books than I have had in my real life.
I'm very comfortable with an R-rating. I feel like it sounds like what people talk like in real life; I think it's more real to me.
One thing I think is least realistic is that there were five people that made decisions in the fictional 'West Wing.' In real life, there are about five million people that weigh in.
Probably the '86 nationals. That was my first real national title and first real statement I ever made in figure skating, and my life changed after I returned.
Even in real life, sometimes you find that person you click with that you get irritated by every other person in the world but you can be around this person every day and you'd be fine with it.
My language is a feel-thinking language, feeling and thinking at once, that is why it is a celebration of life, and at once it is a denunciation of everything that is not allowed in life to be real life, it's plenitude.
Stand firm in your refusal to remain conscious during algebra. In real life, I assure you, there is no such thing as algebra.
We're open people. I don't understand these Hollywood people who don't want to put their real life on TV, yet they want people to watch them and be fans with them.
The result is a picture that represents so much of what I want and rarely get from a movie - a couple of hours filled with characters who are as exciting as the people I know in real life.
Whenever I work on a part, I look at the world through the filter of the character and I pick things they might use through my observations of real life.
I mean, I find things that happened in real life to be the funniest - things that you observe instead of crazy abstract things, you know.
Even though I make those movies, I find myself wishing that more of those magic moments could happen in real life.
I don't like when I watch a fight in a movie that's perfectly worded and very articulate. If you were able to be that composed, you wouldn't be fighting! Fighting in real life is sloppy.
