The thing is, the way we write is all jams and bits and pieces that get pieced together and sometimes things are written with intentions of being a song, and then all of a sudden the main riff of this song, six months later turns into a verse or a chorus of another song.

Danny Carey

I know a bit about vertebrate anatomy and I'd like to think that I'd spot if a skeleton was entirely fabricated or cobbled together from existing bits and pieces.

Alice Roberts

Ton Tom Together

I watch everybody and tried to take bits and pieces from everybody.

Andrew Wiggins

Watch Very Tried

Science fiction in particular is often assumed to be about the future, or about some abstract technological or philosophical idea, or just about 'adventure,' but writers can't build worlds out of nothing. We use bits and pieces of the real world to assemble our fictional ones.

Ann Leckie

Science Future Art

Journalism is always the art of the incomplete. You get bits and pieces.

Anthony Shadid

Art You Ways

I've always drawn on bits and pieces of my own life.

Armistead Maupin

Life Ways Way

I'd never done a straight play before, never, and it was very hard work - really, really hard work. It was dense, really wordy, and I was determined to learn every word of it - not just skip over bits and pieces.

Bette Midler

Work Wordy Word

I read bits and pieces of 'Twilight' as we were making it.

Billy Burke

Were Twilight T

Bits and pieces flung into the universe, sticking in the sky like cotton balls on a jet black velcro surface.

Bradley Chicho

Verse Velcro Universe

I was molded, spent my time underneath a lot of goo. And then the bits and pieces were sculpted. It took probably 10 days to create each character after all those camera tests.

Brendan Fraser

Time Were Underneath

I used to love looking at a recipe, getting all the bits and pieces in the shops, getting them ready and prepared... I don't really have the time to do that anymore.

Brian O'Driscoll

Time Love Used

I don't watch the show - only bits and pieces of all of them. The only one I sat through was the pilot.

Calista Flockhart

Watch Through Them

On some level, every story draws something from life experiences. Most of the time, it's just a matter of me pulling bits and pieces of my own past to help give characters or settings a little more life.

Cullen Bunn

Time Life Experience

I luckily had a very charming, lovable mom who I think everybody could see bits and pieces of their mom in.

Dan Fogelman

Mom Who Very

The thing is, the way we write is all jams and bits and pieces that get pieced together and sometimes things are written with intentions of being a song, and then all of a sudden the main riff of this song, six months later turns into a verse or a chorus of another song.

Danny Carey

Time Written Write

Freddie Mercury said years later that he got the idea for 'We Will Rock You' from 'Bits and Pieces.' I never knew that.

Dave Clark

You Years Year

Unfortunately we don't have all the bits and pieces on the car that we had hoped to have by this stage so we've got to make as good a job as we can with what we have and we feel we are doing well with that at the moment.

David Leslie

Mom Men Hope

I read a whole bunch of bits and pieces over the years, obviously from the fan magazines and the rest of the stuff, and I just wanted to give a little more insight into what's happening in my personal life.

Davy Jones

Life Years Year

Now I've got a fairly good grasp of the 18th century on what was common and what people thought. But I don't write in order. I write bits and pieces and sort of glue them.

Diana Gabaldon

Good Write Thought

Whenever anything bubbles up, I have to put it down. I have bits and pieces all over my hard drive.

Diana Gabaldon

Whenever Up Thing

'Liv and Maddie' actually started out as a different show called 'Bits and Pieces,' and it was a completely different plot, although it was the same cast.

Dove Cameron

Art Though Thou

Thinking fragments reality - it cuts it up into conceptual bits and pieces.

Eckhart Tolle

I was just doing bits and pieces of acting in the U.K. I'd been in the film 'Breaking and Entering' - Anthony Minghella gave me my start and I miss him dearly. Then I made the trip out to L.A., during one of their pilot seasons, which was when they were developing 'Gossip Girl,' and I auditioned, and things came together.

Ed Westwick

Given the growing popularity of pop culture conventions, many of them are selling out, leaving a lot of fans out in the dark and having to trawl the Internet for bits and pieces of news that relate to these events.

Emmett Shear

If you look at any creative person's work, you can see bits and pieces of their influences. That's what an artist does.

G-Eazy

'Air' is what the world looks like: An inconvenient mashup of human politics and divine geography. We leave bits and pieces of ourselves and our history in every place we encounter.

G. Willow Wilson

It's hard to say what you learn acting a part. You find bits and pieces of yourself that are inside the character you play. You locate the relatable aspects of that character to your own life. So, in a way, every part you play forces you to discover things about yourself you might not have learned otherwise.

Graham Patrick Martin

I slightly lost my enthusiasm for most acting, but I've done some little bits and pieces - curiosities.

Hugh Grant

I still sing on bits and pieces. Singing's something that I love to do, but it's not something that I pursue as a career.

Idris Elba

When you're writing a story in bits and pieces, month in and month out, there really isn't time or space for reflection, no room to learn what those scripts had to teach you.

J. Michael Straczynski

I wear my emotions on my sleeve. If I keep that bottled up, it's not going to be good. It's all going to come out at some point in time. I would rather it come out in little bits and pieces than me try to hold it in.

Jake Peavy

There are bits and pieces of me probably in every one of my 35 or so books.

Jerry Spinelli

I take little bits and pieces of ideas that I may or may not believe in but I give them to this character and he runs with them. I have fun with however he handles the situation.

Jhonen Vasquez

I'm just doing little bits and pieces for other magazines right now.

Jhonen Vasquez

I feel very protective in the first draft, when all the pieces are coming together. I work in a way that is not linear or chronological at all, even with the short story. I will just be writing bits and pieces, and then when I have all the pieces on the table, that for me is when it feels like the real work begins.

Jill McCorkle

I think we could jam a bit more in our coffins than we do. I'm going to have some books, some I haven't finished or haven't read, some feathers and nice bits and pieces, the odd note. Just on the journey for the next bit.

Joanna Lumley

Even clingfilm - if it's gone over a salad bowl, take it off, use it again. I wash out carrier bags; I save brown paper from parcels. I save string; I save ribbons. I separate all my bits and pieces.

Joanna Lumley

I give balanced, constructive views and what happens is that bits and pieces of what I say are used against me.

John Barnes

Honestly, not being evasive, but the great thing about Bond is that I have fifty years of movies - 23 movies and all the Ian Fleming novels and short stories, all of which are fodder. And when I'm working on the new Bond, I'm constantly going back to Fleming and the other movies - what are the bits and pieces, what are the resonances?

John Logan

It's not that the system is broken, but clearly there are ways to improve the system, strengthen it, to make sure that we can put together the various bits and pieces of information in a way that allows us to stop every single terrorist out there.

John O. Brennan

Dad could talk about peace and love out loud to the world, but he could never show it to the people who supposedly meant the most to him: his wife and son. How can you talk about peace and love and have a family in bits and pieces - no communication, adultery, divorce? You can't do it, not if you're being true and honest with yourself.

Julian Lennon

I always draw from things around me that people around me have gone through... The story that could be taken really literally is not from my life exactly. But bits and pieces are, and the sentiment behind it is.

Kacey Musgraves

1925's 'The Lost World' is... really, everything a dinosaur movie should be. Like a dinosaur, this classic was once extinct too, existing as mere fragmentary footage and stills, but cinemaphile fossil-hunters have painstakingly excavated bits and pieces from obscure archives and assembled them into a nearly-complete animal.

Kage Baker

When I had worked on my first book, I had readily shown bits and pieces to everyone - for encouragement, to force myself to write.

Karan Mahajan

I'd go on the train to castings, changing from my school uniform on the train. I carried on like that for a few years, getting jobs in bits and pieces.

Kate Moss

As always, I keep my head up, look objectively at all the matches I played, see where I can improve, bits and pieces, and, you know, get ready as quick as I can.

Kevin Anderson

It's important that we're properly represented and for viewers to see all the bits and pieces of being a woman of color.

Kylie Bunbury

Even the cleanest air, at the centre of the South Pacific or somewhere over Antarctica, has two hundred thousand assorted bits and pieces in every lungful. And this count rises to two million or more in the thick of the Serengeti migration, or over a six-lane highway during rush hour in downtown Los Angeles.

Lyall Watson

It's always hard when you're working on a project, and you're seeing it in bits and pieces, whether that be film, television, video games, animation - you only really have perspective of what you're interacting with.

Matthew Mercer

I take bits and pieces from everything. But I think the Method can be very isolating, and sometimes it's more about ego than playing the character truthfully.

Maxine Peake

My mom used to have a lot of European cinema playing in the house, so I'd catch bits and pieces of films.

Mia Wasikowska
