• Heroína" trata de una superestrella en declive y desequilibrada, un papel muy valiente y atrevido. Quería probar si podía llevar un papel así. Me he entregado al 200 por cien a este papel. Es un personaje muy complejo, muy agresivo, manipulador y audaz, pero a la vez muy frágil.

• Hasta ahora, ambos partidos políticos han sido notablemente inteligentes y eficaces a la hora de ocultar esta nueva realidad. De hecho, los dos partidos han formado un tipo innovador de cártel, un acuerdo que he denominado el duopolio político de Estados Unidos. Ambos partidos mienten sobre el hecho de que se han vendido al sector financiero y a los ricos. Hasta ahora, ambos se han salido con la suya, ayudados en parte por la enorme cantidad de dinero que se gasta ahora en publicidad política engañosa y manipuladora.

  Charles Ferguson

• Leadership is much less about what you do, and much more about who you are. If you view leadership as a bag of manipulative tricks or charismatic behaviors to advance your own personal interest, then people have every right to be cynical. But if your leadership flows first and foremost from inner character and integrity of ambition, then you can justly ask people to lend themselves to your organization and its mission.

• If we want other people to give us something that only God can give, we become a demon. We say, "Love me!" and before you know it we become violent and demanding and manipulative. It's so important that we keep forgiving one another - not once in a while, but every moment of life.

• To my embarrassment, I was crying again. Real girl tears for the second time, these ones born out of frustration. That didn't happen to me very often, but I hated it when it did. It was faulty wiring in the female body, tear ducts attached directly to the frustration meter. Trying to explain to men that no, I wasn't being manipulative, I just couldn't stop my eyes from leaking salt water, only added to the aggravation.

• El mandamiento más repetido de la Biblia es 'No temas'. Aparece más de doscientas veces. Si lo piensas, eso significa un par de cosas. Significa que vamos a tener miedo, y significa que no debemos dejar que el miedo nos domine. Antes de darme cuenta de que se supone que debemos luchar contra el miedo, pensaba que el miedo era una sutil sugestión de nuestro subconsciente diseñada para mantenernos a salvo o, lo que es más importante, evitar que nos humillen. Y supongo que cumple ese propósito. Pero el miedo no es sólo una guía para mantenernos a salvo; también es una emoción manipuladora que puede engañarnos para que vivamos una vida aburrida.

• All I cared was that she had never lied. She was honest in a world just the opposite, and a cool oasis in my life. She was who she said she was, and everything Sophia, my mother, the pathologically manipulative liar, had never been.

• Era desconcertante la forma en que podía pasar de la eficiencia fría al sarcasmo y a la dulzura en el espacio de treinta segundos. Me parecía muy manipuladora y controladora. Ponía a la otra persona constantemente en guardia. Y era muy intimidante, porque nunca sabías cuándo iba a estallar. Tomé nota mentalmente de que debía perfeccionar esas habilidades.

• El amor auténtico es obviamente algo bueno... Cuando amamos, llegamos a ser más nosotros mismos, más humanos... La gente a menudo cree que está siendo cariñosa cuando en realidad está siendo posesiva o manipuladora. La gente a veces trata a los demás como objetos para satisfacer sus propias necesidades... ¡Qué fácil es dejarse engañar por las muchas voces de nuestra sociedad que abogan por un enfoque permisivo de la sexualidad, sin tener en cuenta el pudor, el respeto a uno mismo o los valores morales que aportan calidad a las relaciones humanas! Esto es adoración a un dios falso. En lugar de traer vida, trae muerte.

  Pope Benedict XVI

• What we need most right now, at this moment, is a kind of patriotic grace - a grace that takes the long view, apprehends the moment we're in, comes up with ways of dealing with it, and eschews the politically cheap and manipulative. That admits affection and respect. That encourages them. That acknowledges that the small things that divide us are not worthy of the moment; that agrees that the things that can be done to ease the stresses we feel as a nation should be encouraged, while those that encourage our cohesion as a nation should be supported.

• I didn't like what was on TV in terms of sitcoms—it had nothing to do with the color of them—I just didn't like any of them. I saw little kids, let's say 6 or 7 years old, white kids, black kids. And the way they were addressing the father or the mother, the writers had turned things around, so the little children were smarter than the parent or the caregiver. They were just not funny to me. I felt that it was manipulative and the audience was looking at something that had no responsibility to the family.

• Blanket compassion will shift the distribution decisively towards the manipulative end of the spectrum, and may paradoxically decrease the compassion with which the genuinely despairing are treated: for they are apt to get lost in the great mass of pseudo-distress and manipulation, and often their conduct draws less attention precisely because it is less attention-seeking.

  Anthony Daniels

• It is now very clear that techniques of machine-human interfacing, pharmacology of the synthetic variety, all kinds of manipulative techniques, all kinds of data storage, imaging and retrieval techniques - all of this is coalescing toward the potential of a truly demonic or angelic kind of self-imaging of our culture... And the people who are on the demonic side are fully aware of this and hurrying full-tilt forward with their plans to capture everyone as a 100% believing consumer inside some kind of a beige furnished fascism that won't even raise a ripple.

• I've done a lot of movies that don't have any music in them, and I've always sort of had a kind of wary attitude about music because it can be so manipulative, and also because with pop music, I feel like everybody kind of has their own relationship to songs.
