I'm always looking, as an actor, for activities. I think it's far more interesting to watch what people do than what they say. You always want to watch behavior, because the dialogue as written by our illustrious leaders is great. Eminently playable.

Aditi Rao Hydari
My illustrious lordship, I'll show you what a woman can do.

Happy for America, happy for Europe, perhaps for the world when, on the delivery of Cornwallis's sword to the illustrious, the immortal Washington, or rather by his order, to the brave Lincoln, the sun of Liberty and Independence burst through a sable cloud, and his benign influence was, almost instantaneously, felt in our remotest corners!

It is quite common to meet people that live a few kilometers away from Mexico and that have never been there.

It's never late to do this.

I've spent all my life playing roles that illustrious people have played before me.

John G. D. Clark
The Black Watch is one of the most illustrious regiments. They've been at the vanguard of British military operations for 400 years.

I tread in the footsteps of illustrious men... in receiving from the people the sacred trust confided to my illustrious predecessor.

In the long, nonillustrious history of white people pilfering African American culture, have I just perpetrated that? I'm motivated by a love for the music and by a love of the performances, and I really hope I haven't done anything bad.
