personality quotes

• I was a personality before I became a person. I am simple, complex, generous, selfish, unattractive, beautiful, lazy and driven. (Barbra Streisand) [personality]
• In jail a man has no personality. He is a minor disposal problem and a few entries on reports. Nobody cares who loves or hates him, what he looks like, what he did with his life. Nobody reacts to him unless he gives trouble. Nobody abuses him. All that is asked of him is that he go quietly to the right cell and remain quiet when he gets there. There is nothing to fight against, nothing to be mad at. The jailers are quiet men without animosity or sadism. All this stuff you read about men yelling and screaming, beating against the bars, running spoons along them, guards rushing in with clubs -- all that is for the big house. A good jail is one of the quietest places in the world. Life in jail is in suspension. (Raymond Chandler) [personality/problem/life/right]

• But most of us are apt to settle within ourselves that the man who blocks our way is odious, and not to mind causing him a little of the disgust which his personality excites in ourselves. (George Eliot) [mind/personality]

• Personality is the glitter that sends your little gleam across the footlights and the orchestra pit into that big black space where the audience is. (Mae West) [personality]
• Technique is really personality. That is the reason why the artist cannot teach it, why the pupil cannot learn it, and why the aesthetic critic can understand it. To the great poet, there is only one method of music -- his own. To the great painter, there is only one manner of painting -- that which he himself employs. The aesthetic critic, and the aesthetic critic alone, can appreciate all forms and all modes. It is to him that Art makes her appeal. (Oscar Wilde) [personality/artist/teach/method]

If I'm talking about Boston or New York, you'll notice my voice change. It's bad; I have no personality! (Gina Gershon) [joke/housing/personality/face]
