What fame does is there is an illusion of familiarity that is cast into the world. So it's about negotiating with that illusion because, oftentimes, you encounter people who have encountered you, but you haven't encountered them. It's a little weird to find your footing.

Lupita Nyong'o

The reason I hate publicists is because I think if we got rid of them everything would be on equal footing.

Adam Carolla

With the skyrocketing costs of prescription drugs, American taxpayers shouldn't be footing the bill for medicine going to waste.

Amy Klobuchar

Standing athwart ineffective, feel-good legislation shouting, 'Stop!' is seen as a betrayal of those struggling to get their footing on the lowest rung of the economic ladder. Yet raising the minimum wage hacks the lowest rungs off the ladder altogether. But economic logic doesn't wash with liberals who are intent on inflaming class warfare.

Angela McGlowan

'Rocket Science' is really where I fell in love with filmmaking, I think 'Camp' was incredible, but it was so bizarre, and I was trying to find my footing in this world where you don't have an audience for immediate validation.

Anna Kendrick

I would like to see this group in this Congress be starting the process to get ourselves on long term fiscal strong footing.

Ben Quayle

The American people should not be footing the bill for federal employees who stonewall Congress or rewarding government officials' bad behavior.

Blake Farenthold

In the Brown decision, the United States Supreme Court unanimously struck down the legal and moral footing of racially segregated public education in this country.

Bobby Scott

I am not a jazz singer. I wouldn't place myself on that footing. I wouldn't even enter that arena.

Boz Scaggs

I, uh, well, it's the first thing that you do when you go to a job, you go out and do the footings and you see all the clothes, and for me, that really helps kind of create a sense of who that person is and what she wears and it, yeah.

Charlotte Hope

Anyone who would let Gary Cooper and the entire cast go charging on horseback without first finding out what kind of footing the horses had is nuts and cannot possibly direct a motion picture.

Dick York

I decided at 40 I was wasting entire chunks of my brain and didn't want to blow my one chance on Earth. I'm glad I made that decision. Writing is largely about time, while visual art is largely about space. Sometimes, as with film, you can hybridize, but I think it's basically the space part of my brain wanting equal footing with the time part.

Douglas Coupland

I've enjoyed being a part of something from the beginning, when we were still finding our footing.

Douglas Wilson

What keeps this industry challenging as an actor is that you never know how something will turn out. The ups and downs are constant. You're never just smoothly sailing along. You're always going to be on loose footing. That's what ultimately now I expect and accept and that doesn't scare me as much.

Elisabeth Shue

Getting our military back on stable footing won't happen overnight. We must start this process now, since future engagements are likely and allies are scarce.

Ellen Tauscher

To regain our political footing, we must prove to moderates that Democrats can make tough choices.

Evan Bayh

Persons famous in the arts partake of the immortality of princes, and are upon a footing with them.

Francis I

Our franchises have never been healthier. Our league, in terms of its economic footing, has never been healthier.

Gary Bettman

Californians are blessed with the remarkable leadership of Gov. Jerry Brown, who... has led our state to firm fiscal footing and brought us to the enviable position of dreaming - and achieving - big dreams again.

Gavin Newsom

Pretty much hated school. I never really found my footing. I just didn't like lessons.

Giles Deacon

During my four years as treasurer, we restructured our pension system, cutting the state's unfunded liability almost by half and putting our retirement system on stronger footing.

Gina Raimondo
