I don't get described as necessarily being aggressive. I don't know if 'laid-back' is the word. I think, if anything, what I would want people to say about me is, 'I think he had guts.'
It was my dream that I had clenched in a fist of discontent and wouldn't release. But time had now pried every finger open. There is peace in an open and upraised hand that isn't grasping for anything.
I don't read. I don't like to read 'Harry Potter' or anything like that. It's not my style.
Anything you build on a large scale or with intense passion invites chaos.
As might be supposed, my parents were quite poor, but we somehow never seemed to lack anything we needed, and I never saw a trace of discontent or a failure in cheerfulness over their lot in life, as indeed over anything.
I learned more about myself by being an RN than anything else I've ever done.
It's not like I have a master plan or anything.
I have never been able to discover anything disgraceful in being a colored man. But I have often found it inconvenient - in America.
I wanted to inspire people not to work under a bamboo ceiling. Whatever you are - yellow, black, white, brown - you don't have to allow your skin to define who you are or how you operate your business. There's not one face to anything.
I think the more mediocre you are the better you do because people need to think you're their friend, they don't want to be threatened by you, you've got to be warm, you've got to be not too smart, not too pretty, not too anything.
No one has given me anything for free.
Nobody knows anything. I deal with people in all walks of life, some of whom should have some idea of what they're doing. And they're all clueless. It's astonishing that any bridges stay up, or that planes don't constantly plummet from the sky. It's heartening, in a strange way.
Let me tell you, sisters, seeing dried egg on a plate in the morning is a lot dirtier than anything I've had to deal with in politics.
They were nothing like the French people I had imagined. If anything, they were too kind, too generous and too knowledgable in the fields of plumbing and electricity.
If anything, taxes for the lower and middle class and maybe even the upper middle class should even probably be cut further. But I think that people at the high end - people like myself - should be paying a lot more in taxes. We have it better than we've ever had it.
I don't like to say anything good. I feel like I'll jinx myself.
I see myself as someone who makes things. Definitions have never done anything but constrain.
We must make up our minds to be ignorant of much, if we would know anything.
For me, the first fact of human existence is the human body. But if you embrace the reality of the human body, you embrace mortality, and that is a very difficult thing for anything to do because the self-conscious mind cannot imagine non-existence. It's impossible to do.
I feel great. I feel younger. And I don't feel anything at all. I don't know who knows, but right now I'm, how, how many years have I, fifty five, something like that. Forty three years old. And I feel like seventeen, like twenty five years ago.
He that would be angry and sin not, must not be angry with anything but sin.
There's never been anything I didn't love that I didn't connect with on a personal level because, to some degree, I projected upon it.
When you get on stage, you can be anything. You are removed from reality in a way, the real world.
I'll sign anything except bad legislation.
I'm not claiming to be anything out of the ordinary. I am not especially big or strong or brave or intrepid.
I wasn't prepared to get a mammogram until I was 40 years old, like I'd been told. I never in my wildest dreams expected anything to be wrong.
A radical generally meant a man who thought he could somehow pull up the root without affecting the flower. A conservative generally meant a man who wanted to conserve everything except his own reason for conserving anything.
To go in the water and stare at a shrimp for three minutes and not think about anything else in the world, it's just euphoric.
You can talk about anything if you go about it the right way, which is never malicious.
I've always followed the rule that anything worth doing is worth doing excessively.
I absolutely don't believe in anything. Full stop. Including luck.
When I attack a role, be it TV, film or stage, the first thing I say is, I don't want to know anything. If it's good I don't want to hear it; if it's bad I don't want to hear it. The only thing either thing can do is distract me. I like to stay focused.
We don't understand why we're here, no one's giving us an answer, religion is vague, your parents can't help because they're just people, and it's all terrible, and there's no meaning to anything.
I would've loved to have children and I'm really good with kids, but I just didn't want to commit to anything when I had cancer. I didn't want to plan for the future.
I have no inhibitions about smoking or drinking, but I think too much of my voice to place it in jeopardy. I have spent many good years in training and cultivating it, and I would be foolish to do anything which might impair or ruin it.
I don't know if Wimbledon's seen anything like it. I don't know if they will again. But it was just - it was electric. The Aussie crowd, I'm really proud of them, the way they conducted themselves. You know they're great losers, as well.
