Hope is the best possession. None are completely wretched but those who are without hope. Few are reduced so low as that.
I just knew that was what I wanted to do. I was going to perform as a singer I was going to perform as a dancer, and I was, you know, going to do movies and be an actress. I was going to do it or die trying. That’s what my life was.
I have my flaws and my issues, past and present and who knows what will happen in the future. I want people to know I’m vulnerable too and each one of us is.
A grocer is attracted to his business by a magnetic force as great as the repulsion which renders it odious to artists.
Never trust a computer you can’t throw out a window.
I could see myself in a relationship with a girl Olivia Wilde is so sexy she makes me want to strangle a mountain ox with my bare hands. She’s mesmerizing.
History has shown us that, on extraordinarily rare occasions, it becomes necessary for the federal government to intervene on behalf of individuals whose 14th Amendment rights to legal due process and equal protection may be violated by a state.
When I think of myself at 15, even 17, I could simply not have done this work on an international level and travel all the time, take care of myself and not feel lost. I feel very happy that this is happening now, and not 10 years ago, as I feel stronger as a person.
What is normally called religion is what I would tend to call music – participating in music, listening to music, making records and singing.
The way of the Creative works through change and transformation, so that each thing receives its true nature and destiny and comes into permanent accord with the Great Harmony: this is what furthers and what perseveres.
Diplomacy in general does not resolve conflicts. Wars end not due to peace processes, but due to one side giving up.
I must confess that my imagination refuses to see any sort of submarine doing anything but suffocating its crew and floundering at sea.
The senses deceive from time to time, and it is prudent never to trust wholly those who have deceived us even once.
When one has success, the answer is not to undo that success. It is to continue what has been done.
You know, I’m Australian, and we have got the worst sense of humor. We are cruel to each other.
To be intimate with a married man, when my own father cheated on my mother, is not something I could forgive. I could not look at myself in the morning if I did that. I wouldn’t be attracted to a man who would cheat on his wife.
Hope… is the companion of power, and the mother of success for who so hopes has within him the gift of miracles.
That they may have a little peace, even the best dogs are compelled to snarl occasionally.
My father instilled in me the attitude of prevailing. If there’s a challenge, go for it. If there’s a wall to break down, break it down.
And I watch ‘Saturday Night Live’ religiously, I have since I was a little boy. I watch it basically like one of my favorite sports teams.
I think the amazing thing about gospel music is that not only does it lift up the death and resurrection of our Lord, which is consistent with the Gospel, but it is uniquely communicated depending upon the generation.
To give money to a woman – and here I must speak as a man – is to deny her special quality, her irreplaceability, and reduce her unique amiability to a commodity. Money takes away her name, while transforming her lover into a nameless customer of a market of appetites.
I had a happy marriage and a nice wife. I accomplished everything you can. What more can you want?
I do not regard advertising as entertainment or an art form, but as a medium of information.
Religion and political expediency go beautifully hand in hand.
I didn’t really want to live, so anything that was an investment in time made me angry… but also I just felt sad. When the hopelessness is hurting you, it’s the fixtures and fittings that finish you off.
The problem of the world today is the people talk on and on about democracy, freedom, justice. But I don’t give a damn about democracy if I am worried about survival.
My dad has always been very proud of me but I think I have exceeded his expectations. When I told him I wanted to be an actor and moved to New York City, I think he assumed I would be playing the guitar on the subway and collecting spare change in my guitar case. The fact that I’m not doing that means that I’m a huge success.
I want a pit crew… I hate the procedure I currently have to go through when I have car problems.
I cannot remember a moment in my life when I have not felt the love of my family. We were a family that would have killed for each other – and we still are.
It was so quiet that morning in Paris that the heels of my two companions and myself were loud on the deserted pavements. It was a city of shuttered shops, and barred windows, and deserted avenues.
Equality is not in regarding different things similarly, equality is in regarding different things differently.
The greatest failure is that although we have created institutions, we have not created a civil society.
I have never met anyone who did not support our troops. Sometimes, however, we hear accusations that someone or some group does not support the men and women serving in our Armed Forces. But this is pure demagoguery, and it is intellectually dishonest.
In the morning, I practice 15 minutes of yoga.
The primary purpose of a liberal education is to make one’s mind a pleasant place in which to spend one’s leisure.
To understand me, you have to meet me and be around me. And then only if I’m in a good mood – don’t meet me in a bad mood.
I love argument, I love debate. I don’t expect anyone just to sit there and agree with me, that’s not their job.
Canadians tend to be a bit more religious than most Europeans – though not more than the Poles or Ukrainians. Most important, their attitude to immigration and ethnic minorities is more positive than that of most Europeans.
Cherish your human connections – your relationships with friends and family.
Your basic person wants to talk about material culture, internet culture. I think about God, cats, nature.
I enjoy trying to develop a car and Mercedes are one of the biggest car manufacturers in the world.
Real knowledge, like everything else of value, is not to be obtained easily. It must be worked for, studied for, thought for, and, more that all, must be prayed for.
My attitude is, do as much as I can while I’m free. And if I’m arrested I’ll still do as much as I can.
Never wear anything that panics the cat.
I never refused an autograph, never refused to buy someone a drink. Now I’m learning to say I’ve got other things on, instead of doing it and wondering why.
My mom put me in a Pampers commercial on TV.
When you’re happy you don’t always have to be laughing, and when you’re sad you don’t have to be crying sometimes it’s the opposite. You laugh when you’re the most upset.
Forgiveness is the key to action and freedom.
When the first computers started to come in, we tried to digitalize the seismological equipment.
The secret to understanding me is, I’m not trying to be anybody other than who I actually am. People want candid, refreshing leadership. And I’ve always tried to go with solutions. You know, I’ve always tried to say, here’s how we get our economy growing, here’s why we get our debt under control. That’s what Mitt Romney is offering.
