Pretending Quotes
When they saw you kneeling, crying words you mean. Opening their eyeballs, eyeballs, pretending that your Al Green, Al Green.
Adam Ant
Adam and the Ants
Pretending is a very valuable life skill.
Meryl Streep
Empress of the Universe would be way too much work. I'd have to wear fancy clothes, probably including lady shoes with pointed toes, and could no longer slouch into the study in PJs and slippers. Someone would (avert!) straighten my desk. Someone would reorganize my yarn stash...in fact, they'd assign someone else to knit my socks, thus depriving me of an excuse to rest my brain while pretending to accomplish something useful.
Elizabeth Moon
If you're 28 and singing about being over the hill, you're pretending. When you're 67 and singing about it, you know what you're talking about.
Loudon Wainwright III
Anybody pretending to be anything other than who you really are-you will never, ever reach your personal potential.
Oprah Winfrey
Now all of a sudden I'm so less interested in pretending to be a lot of other people, and much more interested in being me.
Jamie Lee Curtis
Maybe my dad just didn't need words to get by in the world. I wasn't like that. Well, I was like that on the outside, pretending not to need words. But I wasn't like that on the inside.
I'd figured something out about myself: on the inside, I wasn't like my dad at all. On the inside I was more like Dante. That really scared me.
Benjamin Alire Saenz
You're literally being an actor - you're pretending - and that's not what I like to do.
Kristen Stewart
When you're the guy behind the camera, you're aware of the reasons for the compromises or the changes that get made. As an actor, you go and do your thing, and someone else down the line then does all the math and goes, "We can't include that thing where he's pretending to be dumb and needling those people, because it takes a minute and a half, and it ruins the next scene. It doesn't make sense." If you're directing, you're the one doing that.
Casey Affleck
That’s what real love amounts to – letting a person be what he really is....Most people love you for who you pretend to be....To keep their love, you keep pretending – performing. You get to love your pretense...It’s true, we’re locked in an image, an act...
Jim Morrison
The Doors
I used to refer to my photos as free radicals - and maybe that has to do with this idea of navigating history. I think of the works as having this dormant illness that can really latch on to different histories. So they can exist in a world pretending to be neatly encapsulated, already framed, and fixed. But actually they are these parasites dependent on the failure of modernist history and on multiplicity.
Elad Lassry
You're pretending this isn't your life. You think it's going to happen some other time. When you're dead you'll realise you were alive now.
Caryl Churchill
