KIN’ is basically a kind of rite of passage, scars-and-all celebration of going through difficult things in your life and being better for it. KT Tunstall

What actor doesn’t want to walk around a set and be called ‘Mr. President?’ Playing POTUS is a kind of rite of passage among American actors – our version of playing Hamlet. Rod Lurie
I discovered ‘Rite of Spring’ when I was 21. As a matter of fact, not with orchestra first, because it was still a work which was not often performed. Don’t forget that I was 19 in 1944, still the Occupation time. So it was performed slightly after the end of the war, in 1945. Pierre Boulez
Stravinsky influenced film music in general – those stabbing chords and rhythms from ‘The Rite of Spring.’ Henry Mancini
My favorite face wash is Aveeno Foaming Face Wash, and I get it at CVS or Rite Aid. It’s the best. It gets off makeup, but it’s not drying, and you feel clean. Krysten Ritter
Being from Boston, I think we have to get the ‘Good Will Hunting’ poster tattooed on our backs when we’re like 16 or 17; it’s just a rite of passage. That movie is so, so, so huge. John Krasinski
I come from a place where to go to prison is like a rite of passage. It’s something that you gain respect for. I used to watch people come out of prison, older cousins and the like, back in the day, and be in awe of them. Ashley Walters
Every ceremony or rite has a value if it is performed without alteration. A ceremony is a book in which a great deal is written. Anyone who understands can read it. One rite often contains more than a hundred books. George Gurdjieff
Freedom Summer, the massive voter education project in Mississippi, was 1964. I graduated from high school in 1965. So becoming active was almost a rite of passage. Danny Glover
I think it’s a rite of passage that the minute you land in Japan, you have to go to a karaoke bar. Bishop Briggs
Funerals are a pagan rite. There’s not any doubt about it. Steve Earle
The problem for me, still today, is that I write purely with one dramatic structure and that is the rite of passage. I’m not really skilled in any other. Rock and roll itself can be described as music to accompany the rite of passage. Pete Townshend
I was in a Rite Aid… and fell into a Christmas tree display. None other than Shia LaBeouf helped me out of it. Nicole Byer
You see the guys in the Ribera jackets and it’s really a rite of passage to be able to work in Japan, come over here and perform for the fans here, and then come over to Ribera Steakhouse and get that jacket. Big E
My rite of passage into my brave new world, life on the road. Kenny Loggins
There I was at ‘The Tree of Life’ premiere, holding hands with Sean Penn and Brad Pitt. That walk down the red carpet was a real rite of passage for me. Suddenly, journalists began asking, ‘Who’s this actress?’ Jessica Chastain
Lots of models have played mermaids throughout history and it is, kind of, a funny rite of passage. Gemma Ward
Working with the dying is like being a midwife for this great rite of passage of death. Just as a midwife helps a being take their first breath, you help a being take their last breath. Ram Dass
The rite of passage of learning to build a fire that will burn all night with one match is not an insignificant one in my husband’s family, and I grew up camping and backpacking. I love to camp. Sarah Wayne Callies

A rite of passage in America when you turn 50 and have good health insurance is a colonoscopy. Brad Feld
For too long, our society has shrugged off bullying by labeling it a ‘rite of passage’ and by asking students to simply ‘get over it.’ Those attitudes need to change. Every day, students are bullied into silence and are afraid to speak up. Let’s break this silence and end school bullying. Linda Sanchez
Every new generation seems to have to go through its Doors rite of passage. John Densmore
I wanted to play a TV detective because it’s a rite of passage; I wanted to experience every area of acting. I haven’t done comedy or as much Shakespeare as I had intended. Olivia Williams

I liked the idea of creating a new pop-culture, folkloric hero character that I created with ‘Django’ that I think’s gonna last for a long time. And I think as the generations go on and everything, you know, my hope is it can be a rite of passage for black fathers and their sons. Like, when are they old enough to watch ‘Django Unchained’? Quentin Tarantino
Changing my name has been like a formal rite of passage. Anohni

My rule of life prescribed as an absolutely sacred rite smoking cigars and also the drinking of alcohol before, after and if need be during all meals and in the intervals between them. Winston Churchill
Music is the most natural thing in the world. When we go to a gig and we all like it and we share that experience, it’s the same sense of communion as a sacred rite in Borneo or wherever it may be; it just gets dressed up different. Its good for the soul. Paul Weller
They were the books to read, ‘The Hobbit’ and ‘The Lord of the Rings.’ A rite of passage going through life. Sylvester McCoy
There aren’t a lot of opportunities for that rite of passage that makes you a man. War is one of them, and violent sports are another. Sylvester Stallone
It is devastating that jail is seen as a rite of passage for many Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, part of the natural order of things. It is an outrage that there is an attitude that this is normal. This is not normal. We can’t shrug our shoulders and say this is just a ‘fact of life’ in remote Australia. Bill Shorten
I’ve always loved watches my whole life. When I was growing up, I always thought of having a great watch as that next step – of making it, of a rite of passage. James Marsden
I think that we all have to have that rite of passage of dating the tortured artist who seems cooler than we think we are; we aspire to be like them, and we’re excited that somebody is turning us on to new music or a new lifestyle. Drew Barrymore
State-sanctioned marriage is a civil contract, period. A contract is not a judgment of moral value. It is a legal agreement between two parties that testifies to a meeting of minds between those consenting entities. It is not a religious act or rite and so has nothing to do with Adam and Eve or Steve or even Harvey. Harvey Fierstein
So most days I don’t wear makeup, but I do like this liquid eyeliner from Prestige Cosmetics in Icon that I think you can get at any Rite Aid. Sasha Spielberg
Cinema was my rite of passage. John Singleton
I enjoyed acting at school and went to an acting workshop for kids in Nottingham. It was twice a week after school and free to go to – ITV subsidised it. Every now and again, a casting director would turn up. ‘Peak Practice’ became a rite of passage for us. It was the first job I had. Joe Dempsie
In Beverly Hills, around 3 P.M. on Bedford Drive, a strange rite occurs. All the men and women who have had facial surgery leave the their surgeons and walk up and down the street bandaged like mummies in Prada, waiting for their loved ones to pick them up. Taylor Negron
Across disparate cultures that require physical risk-taking as a rite of passage, it is always the men who engage in such pursuits. Gad Saad

You can count on one hand the number of Novus Ordo churches in this country that feature a fully Catholic music program of any quality, consistent with the Roman rite tradition. Richard Morris
And this speaks to the larger problem that no one wants to talk about: the restoration of the Roman rite is a precondition for a long-term fix for the problem. Richard Morris
Sustained exhaustion is not a rite of passage. It’s a mark of stupidity. Jason Fried
I think it’s sort of a rite of passage for a British actor to try and get the American accent and have a good crack at doing that. Orlando Bloom

I went to a music academy in Los Angeles, and some friends started playing me Ravel and Prokofiev, who I liked, but what really blew me away was ‘The Rite of Spring.’ That’s what made me get interested in classical music for real and want to study it. Kamasi Washington
As an inventor, it’s a rite of passage to have an engine. I’d like to have my own engine someday. Lonnie Johnson
I’ve always been interested in photographing traditions and customs – especially in America. The prom is an American tradition, a rite of passage that has always been one of the most important rituals of American youth. It is a day in our lives that we never forget – a day full of hopes and dreams for our future. Mary Ellen Mark
I think that beauty can injure you to death. It can cause an injury that can never be cured. Or it can so traumatise you, your life changes direction. The beauty of the harmony of nature that is forever lost, or a daily rite that you perform, or diving into the sea for a swim. Those experiences are going to mark you. Toni Servillo
Best-friend tattoos require so much prep work, which adds to their legitimacy. First, a friendship must be deep enough to warrant the rite; then the perfect symbol must be found to forge the bond. Jenna Wortham
Being a mother impacts every aspect of your life. It’s a rite of passage which gives you an entirely different outlook on things. Essie Davis
It’s almost a rite of passage for the middle-aged, it seems, to invent generational stereotypes for dumping on the young. Robin Marantz Henig
There is this tremendous amount of arrogance and hubris, where somebody can look at something for five minutes and dismiss it. Whether you talk about gaming or 20th century classical music, you can’t do it in five minutes. You can’t listen to ‘The Rite of Spring’ once and understand what Stravinsky was all about. Penn Jillette
When we’re at the end of The Rite of Spring or of a Bruckner symphony, I want people to feel the music physically. Esa-Pekka Salonen
The overcoming of adversity and, ultimately, denying it the rite of passage, has been a constant and perpetual motive throughout my life. Heather Mills

When I was growing up, a Saturday job was a rite of passage, every kid had one. Martin Kemp
In my formative years, I never missed the ‘Creature Double Feature’ on Saturday afternoon TV, even if it meant switching back and forth between ‘Gamera’ and the Red Sox. I did a book report on Stephen King’s ‘Night Shift’ in seventh grade. Unrated Italian horror movies became a weekly rite of passage once I hit seventeen. Chuck Hogan
So basically, you know, the first day on the job you get there and you realize everybody has a Nerf gun. They had, you know, the smaller ones that shoot the darts. So part of the rite of passage of coming to the company is you have to get your own. Mark Rober
