My mother is old, but she jokes around. She lives in a senior living home. After a certain age some people don’t like joking. They take her sarcasm the wrong way. I get that from my family. Everybody talks over each other. The first time I took my wife to my family reunion, she said, “I don’t know what’s going on. I can’t do this!”

Coming from Britain, I was terrified of meeting all these other artists, because artists over there tend to fight with each other a lot, the premise being that there’s not enough room for everybody

Once you’re done being president, you tend to want to defend your record more than plumb your inner feelings. I find it hard to imagine Obama going home at night and writing sensitive, introspective journal entries about his meeting with John Boehner.

As actors, we don’t shy away from saying, ‘I wanted to be an actor because I wanted to meet girls.’ Directors cannot say the same thing.

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

The best thing about being on tour is meeting the fans

We are mandating forces to hold regular neighborhood beat meetings. These meetings will give local people the chance to scrutinize the work of their local police.

If I had a choice about going to a meeting at a studio or changing a nappy, I’d choose the nappy

If I had a choice about going to a meeting at a studio or changing a nappy, I’d choose the nappy.

The least productive people are usually the ones who are most in favor of holding meetings

People who enjoy meetings should not be in charge of anything

Meetings between Presidents, as you know, are supposed to be privileged. They’re supposed to be confidential. They’re supposed to allow the president and other leaders to have frank exchanges.

And one of the things that I’m most concerned about is the confidence, the confidentiality of those kind of meetings between President and Russian Foreign Minister, as you know, are extremely important. And so, I am really concerned about kind of leaks, because it undermines everybody’s trust in that kind of an environment where you can have frank, candid, and often times unconventional conversations to try to protect American interests and secure the American people.

I started doing comedy with no plan to do voice work. Voice work came as a function of doing comedy and meeting people who eventually develop shows like that. I didn’t seek out from an early age to be on cartoons.

If I am to meet with a disappointment, the sooner I know it, the more of life I shall have to wear it off.

Become a better person and be sure to know who you are, before meeting someone new and hoping that person knows who you are.

Meeting Stevie Wonder was a massive, lifetime achievement for me. He’s one of the sweetest people. I sense a kindred spirit in him, and I hope he’d say the same. Actually, he did.

We do not have to become heroes overnight. Just a step at a time, meeting each thing that comes up, seeing it as not as dreadful as it appears, discovering that we have the strength to stare it down.

I still dream of simple life Boy meets girl, makes her his wife But love don’t exist When you live like this That much I know

In an age in which the classic words of the Surrealists— ‘As beautiful as the unexpected meeting, on a dissecting table, of a sewing machine and an umbrella’—can become reality and perfectly achievable with an atom bomb, so too has there been a surge of interest in biomechanoids

I made the track ‘Si Tu Novio Te Deja Sola,’ before I met Balvin

Don’t be dismayed by good-byes. A farewell is necessary before you can meet again. And meeting again, after moments or lifetimes, is certain for those who are friends.

Dress like you are going to meet your worst enemy today.

The oft-repeated quip, “I’m sorry to write you a long letter, as I did not have time to write a short one,” could be applied to meetings: “I’m sorry to imprison you in this long meeting, as I did not have time to prepare a short one.

Meetings are by definition a concession to a deficient organization. For one either meets or one works. One cannot do both at the same time.

Meetings are a symptom of bad organization. The fewer meetings the better.

Let us always meet each other with smile, for the smile is the beginning of love.

The pain of parting is nothing to the joy of meeting again.

The meeting of two personalities is like the contact of two chemical substances—if there is any reaction, both are transformed

People who bore one another should meet seldom; people who interest one another, often

We meet no ordinary people in our lives.

I remember meeting a mother of a child who was abducted by the North Koreans right here in the Oval Office.

The important question is, “how many hands have I shaked?”

You may admire a girl’s curves on the first introduction, but the second meeting shows up new angles.

Let me even say before I even get inaugurated, during the transition we are going to be having meetings all across the country with community organizations so that you have input into the agenda for the next presidency of the United States of America.
