8 QUOTES WITH «FLUFF»

Famous quotes and sentences with the word fluff.

1

Jennifer Armintrout

Misconceptions about Young Adult fiction aren't new to fans of the genre. From being dismissed as mindless fluff for 'Twilight'-obsessed tweens, to constant warnings that the genre is dying, kerfuffles between the media and readers occur with alarming regularity.

2

Ewen Bremner

If I watch something, I want to be wondering what is going to happen next; I want to be engaged in a way that makes me ask questions and think about how I can relate myself to the characters and the issues that are there. But if it's just fluff, and everything is spelt out, I find it difficult to concentrate.

3

Ryan Hurst

I am real, real picky with what I decided to do. I want to make sure it's new and at the same time that it's in the same color of what I have played before. Not to pigeon hole myself but I don't like to do fluff.

4

Ralph Macchio

Kimora Lee Simmons

FKA twigs

I write exactly what I think. If it's a raw subject, I write lots of things and then pull out all the fluff words.

8

Raquel Welch

I'd taken the bull by the horns by liberating myself and creating a career. It took guts - it was scary and chancy - but they discounted me as empty-headed: some little piece of fluff without any brain that happened to come along.
