1
Screaming, it’s not me. I tried it before! Action is more my thing. Not talking. It’s hard for me to have word fights, fighting with words. I’d rather just listen.
2
My first day on the set of ‘John Adams’, I was just supposed to fly to Virginia for a costume fitting. But the director figured, why not shoot it, too? So they threw me into a dress that didn’t fit, gave me lines I hadn’t seen, in a dialect I didn’t know, and two screaming, arching infants.
3

Comedy, not screaming at someone, can make someone lift their legs higher. There is a way to do a push-up and a sit-up, and it doesn’t have to be so complicated. Everyone is putting a difficult twist to it and making you do way too much.

Screaming is hard after a while.
10
Looking at 70 from 49, I don’t see it slowing me down. Maybe I’ll need a nap during the day! I’m thinking when I’m 85 I’ll settle down a bit. But I’m going to fight, kicking and screaming, every step of the way.

A lot of ‘Stranger Things’ is having to be able to, in your mind, turn a little tennis ball into a huge monster. In Season 2, there was one scene where I was screaming at the monster and I was screaming at nothing. It was just the sky. So I really have a big imagination, I guess?
43
TLC always looked up to male bands. We saw guy groups could just go out and get the fans screaming by just standing there – fully clothed and with nothing but their music… We saw them as the competition more than the girl groups, with whom we wanted to stay unified.
44
My body is damaged from music in two ways. I have a red irritation in my stomach. It’s psychosomatic, caused by all the anger and the screaming.

61
Everything I’d taught myself about screaming is basically a big no-no for singing. Your posture, your airflow – you’re just pushing all the air out. When you start out, you’re fast, heavy and loud but you’re hiding behind it in a way. When you stop screaming, that’s when it gets hard.
62
Emotion is a full range of a spectrum, like colours. It’s not just anger. How are you going to get that out with just a guitar and screaming? You need to explore everything else.

72
Old people whimper, and cry, and belch, and make great hollow rumbling sounds at table; old people wake up in the middle of the night screaming, and find out they haven’t even been asleep; and when old people are asleep, they try to wake up, and they can’t… not for the longest time.

80
It’s almost negligible sleep and insane amounts of plane rides, but I’m doing it. Your body is screaming out to you to not abuse it so much, but I love what I do in my Hindi films as well as with ‘Quantico,’ and I want to be able to balance both.
81
I don’t consider myself bossy, but I do know what I want. You know, I have a gut feeling about a piece of material, but I’ve never envisioned myself as the director on top of the hill with a megaphone in my hand, screaming at 1,000 extras.
82
I was on the tube the other day and it was after the Chelsea match and everyone was going crazy screaming across at each other. I just can’t imagine ever getting that excited about it!

84
When you think about rock at its origin, and you think of the Beatles and millions of kids screaming as loud as they can and running as fast as they can towards the Beatles, there’s no one who is that kind of lightning rod, who commands that kind of power and has that kind of creative magma.
85
I don’t get recognized that much. That’s the best part of it. I tend to get things like, ‘You sound a lot like that guy on ‘Deadwood.’ And that’s lovely. I’ve been very fortunate. No giggling, screaming girls. None of that.

I do a lot of stairs, a lot of planks, a lot of squats, a lot of treadmill, a lot of screaming – and I do it four times a week.

You can’t have the real thing on camera – that’s the nature of cinema. When you see people like Daniel Day-Lewis and Ralph Fiennes screaming and hyperventilating, you’re seeing the phoniest kind of bad acting. You may as well have a ‘men at work’ sign. It’s not acting if you can see it.
111
When you’re that age – that middle-school age, early high school – you’re changing. You’re going crazy. So I put all of my energy into pretending I was someone else, battling and screaming and all that stuff – casting spells and getting into a whole fantasy world. It was really healthy for me.
112
I used to go to my kids’ soccer games and I was the only parent who wasn’t screaming, because I’d have to do a show that night. It was hard. Moms and dads get more emotional at those soccer and Little League games than at a professional game.

120
If the audience is screaming, I don’t really care. As long as it’s loud and sustained, I don’t care who they’re screaming for or what they’re screaming for. It’s when they get quiet, that’s when I get nervous.
121
For 20 years I’ve been screaming at these guitar companies, saying, ‘It’s abnormal to put your arm around an acoustic guitar that is about 6 to 8 inches deep.’ Your arm reaches over, and you start to strum, and then all of a sudden you get a charley horse in your back. The older you get, the greater the charley horse.

128
Middle-class Pakistani cultural life is what I’ve seen, what I know – they’re not all screaming faceless mullahs. It’s disturbing that in American films, the character on the other side is not even named.
129
No one should have to put up with someone screaming in their face. Theres got to be a better way of getting the best out of people.
130

132
In New York, people are pretty cool, and you don’t catch a lot of grief. But in certain spots, man, it’s over. If I stand in the same place for more than 20 minutes or 10 minutes or something, there’ll be 40 people standing there, all screaming something different.
133
There are some great video clips of me swearing, screaming at players, but I was also the biggest cheerleader in the league.

138
All the war-propaganda, all the screaming and lies and hatred, comes invariably from people who are not fighting.

141
It upsets me that people think what I’m doing is a bad thing. I don’t think it’s a bad thing. If you know something to be a fact, why not report it?… If I have to drag some people screaming out of the closet, then I will.

147

148
I think religion is a mistake – I’m exhausted by its self-righteousness. I think atheists should start screaming for attention like religious folks do.

165
The way I pick who gets caked is generally by who shows me the most energy and is screaming for it. I still can’t help but ask myself… should I stop caking people? Will that stop the haters from hating? Stop giving the trolls more content to target me with?
166
Back in 1999 and 2000, a few of us… a very few of us… Douglas Clegg, Seth Godin and I… offered free electronic copies of our books in an effort to reach an audience we otherwise wouldn’t have reached and to test out a new marketing concept for books. Despite the industry screaming we were crazy, it worked.
167
Heaven to me is percussion and bass, a screaming guitar and a burbling Hammond B-3 organ. It’s a soup I love being immersed in.
168
Stand-up comedy is a sickness. Who wouldn’t want a room full of people laughing and screaming at you just because of who you are? Nothing is as good, except maybe having a baby.
169
When I’m sitting in bed watching ‘Chopped’ – that Brie I know. But I don’t know the Brie in sky-high heels on a carpet with a bunch of people screaming at me. I wonder what she’s like.
170
Elvis walked over and signed a few autographs over the fence. They were screaming. I had never seen this.
171
There’s nothing wrong with the screaming style of singing, and I’ll be the first to admit that it conveys an emotion. But I’m getting older, and I can’t scream and shout about the same things anymore. The songs I’m writing with Stone Sour call for a lighter, different approach.
172
I did whole Latin albums and it was like Beatlemania for me in the Latin world, the screaming girls, not being able to leave the hotel, at the airport met by screaming fans. That was something!
173
I heard that when Christina Aguilera went back to her prom, people, like, booed her. I can’t imagine going through that. If you know that’s going to happen, why put yourself in that situation? I’d rather play for 20,000 screaming people, you know?
174
I spend a lot of time in Paris, in Milan, and in New York, and Rome is a little bit different. There is something in Rome, incredible, like in a Fellini movie. Everybody’s screaming and laughing very loud. It’s something that can give me more energy in terms of freedom.
175
In moments when I question if I should be having kids, I think of all those phone calls from my sister-in-law, in which, 3,000 miles away, I hear my nephews screaming for her attention. I tell her I have to go because I am packing to leave for Europe, and her tone flatlines: ‘That must be nice.’
176
Instead of yelling and screaming or losing myself all the time, I release everything in my music, and that’s kind of how I expel my demons, as you would say.
177
I see this fella built like a barn door… and there’s all these fox hunters, who didn’t like me, screaming and shouting and as I walked past him I looked at him and he hit me with something.
178
I really like my first movie a lot, ‘Kicking and Screaming.’ I think it’s a – I’m very pleased and proud of that movie, but it wasn’t the – it wasn’t ‘Citizen Kane’ right out of the box, you know? It wasn’t ‘Sex, Lies and Videotape.’
179
I don’t have any irrational fears. Obviously, if I was walking through the outback, and I saw a snake, I wouldn’t go up and stroke it, but I wouldn’t run screaming from it, either.
180
I actually ran into Justin Bieber when nobody knew him at the Kids’ Choice Awards. He came up to me like, ‘Mr. Crews, how you doing? I’m produced by Usher and I just wanted to introduce myself. My name is Justin Bieber,’ and I just knew he was a good, nice kid. Next year, people are screaming and attacking him!
181
A screaming comes across the sky. It has happened before, but there is nothing to compare it to now.
182
When you have 20,000 people yelling and screaming at you, four other guys can concentrate on the floor. So every time I touch the basketball and everyone is yelling and chanting and doing things towards me, well, four other guys can concentrate.
183
I went camping one time when I was twelve, to the Great Lakes. My friend stepped in really deep muddy water and started screaming and sinking. My mom ran up, and I was just standing there a foot away and wouldn’t stick out my hand to pull him up. So I’m probably not the best person to take on a camping trip.
184
In Sweden, if a player has the ball, and you’re running across the line of vision, you would never call for the ball. In the United States, if you’re open, you’re screaming.
185
When people are running up to me in the grocery store screaming, ‘Oh my God! Oh my God!’ that’s when I know I’m swervin’. As long as people are recognizing you and you matter to them, then you’re doing something right.
186
I’ll never forget, I was talking to the singer in one of the heavier rock bands I was in, and it was like a screaming band, and I was like, ‘Man, why don’t we make a song that’s like ‘Let’s Celebrate!.’
187
If it’s just screaming – and I know this sounds so ridiculous – that gets old. But sometimes when there’s literal chaos, it’s like being in a war zone, and that’s kind of exciting. You’re just running through the crowd of people chasing after you and no one knows what’s going on.
188
I think it would be funny for people to read in obituaries of me that my major contribution to the arts was the popularization of the phrases ‘neutral facial expression’ and ‘screaming in agony.’
189
If you’re ever bcc’d, do not go near ‘reply all.’ ‘Bcc’ is ‘blind carbon copy.’ It means you’re a fly on the wall, dude! If you hit reply all, it’s beyond bad etiquette to out the person who gave you the superpower of invisibility. It’s like screaming, ‘I’m a spy!’
190
The hardest job an actor can do is all this pretend, all this screaming and being scared for your life.
191
This song is by Bjork called ‘Oh So Quiet’ and it’s really different. I’ll be screaming and just having fun on stage. It’s really, really different but I’m very excited to do that number.
192
Classical music in Venezuela is now something like a pop concert. You can see people screaming or crying because they don’t have a ticket.
193

194
Any mature, responsible adult doesn’t run around stomping their feet and screaming ‘I’m a mature, responsible, adult.’
195

196
Forest Hills was a middle-class neighborhood filled with snobby rich people and their screaming brats.
197
My biggest problem in live games is that I love the game so much and I don’t think I ever met a poker player I didn’t fundamentally like – even if they’re screaming and they’re acting like real jerks.
198
When you’re in WWE and you’re in front of 16,000 screaming fans booing you or cheering you, you only have one take.
199
Going back to my film education, I always have that voice in my head that’s always screaming, ‘Sell out!’ And that’s good: you want that, because it keeps you on your toes, and it’s important to remember what’s actually important.
200
My mom says I was born screaming.
201
When I saw the scene in ‘Close Encounters,’ and Richard Dreyfuss’s son is screaming at him – that’s a heartbreaking scene. And I remember being devastated by ‘E.T.’ Or when E.T. started to get sick. That broke me up a little bit.
202
No one who has experienced facing a screaming, boiling, hysterical audience can avoid feeling shivers in the spine. It’s a thin line between celebration and menace.
203
I’m tired of people screaming about price and forgetting about the content.
204
For 99 percent of the beasts on this planet, stress is about three minutes of screaming in terror after which it’s either over with or you’re over with. And we turn it on for 30-year mortgages.
205
When the mask comes down when the plane’s in turbulence, you’ve gotta put it on yourself first or you’re not going to be able to do much good, even for the kid screaming next to you.
206
I was home-schooled, was always very close with my mom, and was very straight-laced and square. I was never the rebellious one, and I never threw hissy fits. I was the type of person that would show a Powerpoint presentation about why I should do something versus crying and screaming over it.
207
I vividly remember Charles Bronson’s face in ‘Chino.’ The western genre is screaming for a face like that.
208
If it takes someone yelling and screaming in your face to get you ready to play, then you’re in the wrong business.
209
When the picture was finished, they took me into the sound room and then I screamed more for about five minutes just steady screaming, and then they’d cut that in and add it.
210
With ‘Defenders,’ we had some very barebones ideas, but the bulk of it came together very quickly over in Ibiza. The main thing I like about that record, looking back on it now, is the change in the texture of the production from ‘Screaming For Vengeance.’
211
There’s no point screaming and shouting at the manager.
212
All you could do was to see them. We were backstage when the Beatles were on and you could just about hear a noise. It was just literally screaming.

216

217
I like L.A., but I’m definitely a Brooklyn girl; I’m a city girl. I need the cars honking. I need the bright lights. I need people yelling in the middle of the night screaming at each other. I need all of that.
218
I have lunches with my girlfriends, who just turned 40, and some of those lunches, we’re crying and screaming about our husbands, saying we want to leave them and run away. And then, other lunches, we’re fine and love our husbands and are happy with our lives.
219
I grew up with my parents screaming and yelling at each other for the rent in Bronx, New York City at the time. It was $36. So my mind hadn’t stretched out to that place where I could spend a whole month’s rent on a 45-minute plane flight to Fargo, N.D.
220
I read somewhere that Mitt and I have a ‘storybook marriage.’ Well, in the storybooks I read, there were never long, long, rainy winter afternoons in a house with five boys screaming at once. And those storybooks never seemed to have chapters called MS or breast cancer.
221
I hate when I see someone who speaks English speaking to someone who speaks a different language, and they’re screaming as if going louder is going to help the other person understand.
222
Everything I’ve been thinking, every vision, even down to every shot I throw, it just ends up here in reality. Whether it was in a fight and how to react or whether it was in a stadium with screaming fans or whether I was in a fancy car or the best clothes ever, I always put myself somewhere.
223
I want every girl in the world to pick up a guitar and start screaming.
224
There is Rio in 2016, but it won’t be the same as going to London and hearing 24,000 people – nearly all British – cheering, stamping their feet, and screaming your name.
225
I never dreamed that I would hear 10,000 people screaming when I stepped out onto a stage. Well, that’s not entirely true. I dreamed about it but in a performing-on-the-stage-at-Staples-Center-or-Madison-Square-Garden context. But never in a I’m-in-a-movie-that-hasn’t-even-come-out-yet one.
226
Imagine being a running back or a receiver. You get tackled, and then when you get up, you’re surrounded by a bunch of guys, and they’re all screaming and yelling at you… Mentally, it wears on you, like, ‘God, how long can I do this?’ It’s a mental thing.
227
One of my problems is I am getting so mature that I have to pick up a TV and toss it through the coffee table just to remind people of who I am. I want to go ranting and screaming into the grave.
228
When I’m on tour, I’m in a new city every single night, and the energy and the crowds and the kids and the screaming and them knowing every single word of my music and being onstage is such an energetic feeling with a big payoff.
229
Keep in mind, when two enemies are talking, they’re not fighting, they’re talking. They might be yelling and screaming, but at least they’re talking. It’s when the talking ceases that the ground becomes fertile for violence.
230
People like light and silly, and they like stuff that’s really energetic, and you get a character in a film bouncing around and screaming, people laugh. That’s all it takes. I don’t find that funny. To me, what’s funny is dialogue and nuance of character and performance.
231
Having a baby dragged me, kicking and screaming, from the world of self-absorption.
232
When I was younger, I was angry. I was boisterous and loud. I was on top of the mountain, screaming at everybody, ‘Look at me!’ Now I’m more of a Taoist.
233
I do not like – in the middle of a wrestling arena where they’re serving alcohol and there are screaming fans including children in the front row – I don’t feel like that is the proper place to be exposed.
234
People don’t realize that doing a horror movie is hard work. You’re out there all day screaming your lungs out, breathing in toxic make-up fumes, rolling around in the dirt, getting your eyebrows burned off – it’s not like doing a sitcom.
235
Doing your job requires different modes, and you can’t just be stuck in one mode where you’re always the shrill outsider screaming at everybody.
236
Some officials are afraid to blow the whistle with 20,000 people screaming and yelling at them. Some officials love to have the crowd go against them.
237
How can Bono, having graced concert stages for over two decades, draped in the white flag of peace and screaming ‘No More War’ at the top of his lungs contemplate praising and back slapping Tony Blair?
238
I will put the Republican establishment on my shoulders and drag them kicking and screaming back to the Constitution.
239

240
Any time I wind up in the lane where you can’t quickly turn off of it and it’s turning into the freeway, I just start screaming until I’m off of it.
241
I had a lot of guilt as a single mother trying to raise a child. I had to go to work and Jeffrey was screaming that he didn’t want me to. You have to give yourself permission to let go of the guilt.
242
You get butterflies when you see all the fans screaming.
243
I remember the first time I was an extra on a soap I was screaming I was so excited.
244
I noticed that when I touched the ball on the field, you could hear this shrill noise in the crowd with all the birds screaming like at a Beatles concert.
245
When I fell in love with music, particularly hip-hop, I listened to it in the car. In Texas, you’ve got to drive, and sometimes you wanna listen to something good. Not something that’s loud with a bunch of screaming for two minutes. That’s a different type of music.
246
My first exposure to what Hollywood was like, behind the scenes, was when Joel Silver started screaming at Roger Rabbit at the beginning of ‘Who Framed Roger Rabbit.’
247
It doesn’t matter how tired I am; I will always still be happy. As soon as you go onstage, you get adrenaline. You hear the crowd: they’re screaming your name. They have posters. The energy gives you energy.
248
I was a different kind of player as a kid and didn’t do too much shouting and screaming. If things didn’t go my way, I tended to get a bit overwhelmed. All I wanted to do was cry on my mom’s shoulder. I didn’t know how to handle defeat in front of a crowd, and I didn’t want to be the loser.
249
Our shows are just like that. The screaming is constant, nonstop, and there’s not one minute of silence during the show. It’s pretty intense.
250
I love single life! Why would it be boring? I mean, I get to travel around and have loads of girls screaming at me, so it’s definitely not boring. However, it can get lonely on the road, but I’m sorted I’ve got good people around me.
251
I’m only… I’m only unhappy when the reviews are bad, but give me a good review and I’m a… I’m just screaming all over the place with joy.

253
I know a lot of people dread going to work every morning, but my work is playing pretend and doing stunts and screaming. It’s a lot of fun and I get to play dress up. Every day is exciting and different and new and cool. I couldn’t be more grateful.
254
Before you have a hit song, all you’re doing is banging on the door and screaming, ‘I’ve got something I want to play…’ Now with the hit songs, they’re like, ‘Okay man, we’re listening. Whaddya got for us?’

A good many dramatic situations begin with screaming.
256
There’s a danger of the Internet just becoming loud, ugly and boring with a thousand voices screaming for attention.
257
If I can hear the music then no, I don’t hit a wrong note. But if I can’t hear the music because the audience is screaming or the sound system is bad, then I’m subject to stray.
258
My mother was a master juggler. If you ask her, she’ll say she was a wreck. There’s plenty of screaming that went on in the house, but I think it was necessary just to be heard. There were eight children!
259
My fans are called ‘Mayniacs’. They enjoy screaming and chasing me and taking pictures.
260
When I was living in New York, there was a lot of screaming in my life. I would just get into these altercations all the time. Being in public, dealing with shopkeepers, just trying to cross the street – things like that.
261
I was dragged kicking and screaming into a high-school play then discovered it was fun!
262
I fought the social media thing kicking and screaming. It can demystify. But it’s a different world now, and that is part of what we, as humans, have developed: right, wrong, good, bad, I don’t know.
263
Scarborough never really began to live until the summer of 1964 when the Beatles played the Futurist Theatre, and no one in the audience, least of all me, heard anything but the screaming.
264
I was screaming constantly, on the set, in my room… everywhere.
265
As we grow up and we’re developing, our ego needs to be contained, otherwise we’d all be selfish two- and three-year-olds, screaming every time we didn’t get our way.
266
I do go through a mini depression because one minute there are people yelling and screaming for me on stage and the next I’m at home and it’s dead quiet. So it takes a while to come down.
267
I’m confident about going out there and playing – playing with emotion, screaming and yelling.
268
I remember when I was rehearsing ‘Scottsboro Boys,’ I was in ‘American Idiot,’ so, every night, I was screaming, singing these high, belty Cs and Ds, and then, during the day, I would be doing these legato lines – I am very lucky that I have had the training that I have so that I could handle all of that.
269
When bombing is going on, you see a lot of people screaming around you and you can’t do anything if you’re small. You just want to break out of that and be strong.
270
I get a lot of dramas, but I’d like to do a romantic comedy type of movie; that’d be a nice step for me. No more screaming or running or shooting… for one movie where I can just be in love with a boy.
271
I see it every week – parents shouting and screaming at kids. My dad was the same. He was always there, but he never interfered. Ron Greenwood, who was the manager of West Ham when I was a kid, wouldn’t allow any parent to shout from the touchline. He thought players should be allowed to think for themselves.
272
I get along very well with the cast of ’30 Rock.’ I guess I bring a certain quirkiness to the show as well. I’m just thankful they keep asking me. I didn’t think I was going to be asked back so every time they say, ‘We want you back,’ I’m screaming. I’m jumping up and down and screaming.
273
I’m definitely not going back to Italy willingly. They’ll have to catch me and pull me back kicking and screaming into a prison that I don’t deserve to be in.
274
My dad wrestled The Rock, and I heard the people screaming and saw just how much they loved seeing my dad perform. It gave me chills.
275
For me, performing is the biggest part of being a rapper. There’s nothing like the feeling of screaming your story to people.
