If you get too attached to how you want it to come out the other side you freeze. I try to trust that it will work out in the end.

The film is not a success until it makes money. It's only good when there's a dollar figure attached to the box office.

The stigma that was once attached to things society deemed unhealthy served the purpose of making them undesirable. With the stigma gone many people see little reason not to do whatever feels good at the moment.

Growing up in the '70s and '80s science fiction and especially fantasy had such a stigma attached to them. I felt so punished and exiled for being devoted to these things.

I will be sad. I've gotten very attached to Harry and all that goes on in his world I guess I'll just be kind of tasting every bit of it because it will be the last one.

To conceal anything from those to whom I am attached is not in my nature. I can never close my lips where I have opened my heart.

There are certain pieces of music that are always attached to certain books.

I know a lot of celebrities who are perfectly happy to put their name to something and then leave it at that because the money is good but I need to have complete control over how something is going to look if my name is going to be attached to it.

It's part of a writer's profession as it's part of a spy's profession to prey on the community to which he's attached to take away information - often in secret - and to translate that into intelligence for his masters whether it's his readership or his spy masters. And I think that both professions are perhaps rather lonely.

I just get so fed up with seeing the same things written about me. If I see the words 'ice queen' attached to me I feel like banging my head against the wall. There's this perception that I can only be in a film if I have a glass of champagne in my hand and a stately home in the background.

I think the British people are very very attached to the idea that the health service is free at the point of use. But there is no reason why every doctor nurse and teacher in this country has to be employed by the state.

I see nothing wrong with the human trait to desire. In fact I consider it integral to our success mechanism. Becoming attached to what we desire is what causes the trouble. If you must have it in order to be happy then you are denying the happiness of the here and now.

All happiness or unhappiness solely depends upon the quality of the object to which we are attached by love.

I've returned to being an amateur without any ties or strings attached which gives me a freedom I never had before.

I have come close to producing films. But generally by the time they hit the screen there's about 50 people with producer credits so what's the point. I usually find scripts I like with no money attached and take them to producers that I know and try to raise finance.

I know not why there is such a melancholy feeling attached to the remembrance of past happiness except that we fear that the future can have nothing so bright as the past.

He who is overly attached to his family members experiences fear and sorrow for the root of all grief is attachment. Thus one should discard attachment to be happy.

Most men are very attached to the idea of being male and usually experience a lot of fear and insecurity around the idea of being a man. Most women are very identified with their gender and also experience a tremendous amount of fear and insecurity.

Feminism is just about equality really and there's so much stuff attached to the word when it's actually so simple. I don't know why it's always so bogged down.

The charm of fame is so great that we like every object to which it is attached even death.

The will is never free - it is always attached to an object a purpose. It is simply the engine in the car - it can't steer.

I failed the LSAT. Basically if I had not failed I'd have been a lawyer and there would be no Spanx. I think failure is nothing more than life's way of nudging you that you are off course. My attitude to failure is not attached to outcome but in not trying. It is liberating.

I think failure is nothing more than life's way of nudging you that you are off course. My attitude to failure is not attached to outcome but in not trying. It is liberating. Most people attach failure to something not working out or how people perceive you. This way it is about answering to yourself.

As a kid I always loved serialized books. It's the reason why people love 'Harry Potter.' Serialization is amazing. It works in television. It works in film and it works in books. Especially when you're a young kid you get attached to these characters.
