Everything we do these days - our lust for ever more comfort, pleasure, and distraction, our refusal to engage with the mandates of reality, our fidelity to cults of technology and limitless growth, our narcissistic national exceptionalism - all of this propels us toward the realm where souls abandon all hope.
I come from a position where it seems like I have an addictive quality to everything in my life.
I grew up in a house full of music. Everything from reggae and afro-beat to Zook and pop.
And by the way, everything in life is writable about if you have the outgoing guts to do it, and the imagination to improvise. The worst enemy to creativity is self-doubt.
My grandparents got married at a very young age, and a lot of what I think about marriage is based on their relationship. I watched them over the years and saw how they dealt with everything together, as a team.
I live on the margin of just about everything. I'm a marginal person, and I think that is where I've become comfortable. I'm marginally there in my native life. I can do as much as I can, but I'm always German, too, you know, and I'm always a mother. That's my first identity, but I'm always a writer, too.
The worst education which teaches self-denial, is better than the best which teaches everything else, and not that.
There are some centuries which - apart from everything else - in the art and other disciplines presume to remake everything because they know how to make nothing.
'Waking the Fallen' truly encompasses everything that Avenged Sevenfold was at that time. It was us being fearless, us showing our roots in heavy metal, punk, rock n' roll, and not being afraid to try everything under the sun when it comes to writing music.
I don't want to play forever. I want to give everything I can now and then walk away knowing I gave everything. The example I think of is Barry Sanders. He was such a great player, and he left when he was still on top. I want that to be me.
I think everything I have done in my life, my reasons at the time were right no matter how things worked out.
I tend to show everything I do to my family, to check they won't be offended.
With a modem, anyone can follow the world and report on the world-no middle man, no big brother. I guess this changes everything.
It seems that entertainment is what most excites us and what we value above everything else.
After the enormous success of All About my Mother, all the awards and everything, I wanted to start a movie in exactly the same place that I used to be before. I wanted to show that all of the success had not changed my perception.
Acting is doing, because everything you say or do is some kind of an action, some kind of a verb. You're always connected to the other person through some kind of action.
I weep at everything. I love things so much - I just never want to dilute that.
I'm just like anybody else: I have stuff to do in the day, whether that's writing a song or recording a song. I try to treat everything I do as just work.
I think the challenge is going out in front of a paying audience with absolutely nothing and trying to entertain them for two hours. Thankfully, I only think about that right before we go on, and then once we're out there, everything's fine.
Everything that I decide to do means something, otherwise I don't do them.
Honestly, I feel really grateful for everything.
I recognize I have faults. I'm accountable for them, and I try to do what I can to correct them. I will say that it's unfortunate that everything I do is scrutinized to the point that it is. Frankly, I don't watch the news, I stay away from political conversations.
My family makes these vinegars - out of everything from grapes to peaches and cherries. We go through the whole process with the giant vat and drainer, label them, and give them as Christmas presents.
With everything it has to offer, Las Vegas is an obvious destination for tourists, as proven by the over 40 million visitors the city welcomes per year.
In this life, you should read everything you can read. Taste everything you can taste. Meet everyone you can meet. Travel everywhere you can travel. Learn everything you can learn. Experience everything you can experience.
It was June 4, 1979, the first time I went on stage. I didn't know I could do it but I knew I couldn't not do it. I quit everything in my life and this was the one thing I couldn't quit.
I used to love going and playing jam sessions, doing things spontaneously. I can't do that anymore. Everything you do is documented, nothing is casual anymore.
Basically, I'm afraid of everything in life, except filmmaking.
I don't believe anybody can really grasp everything that's even in one textbook.
Ever since I was a child, I wanted to excel in everything.
It's good to do things slow in the bush. It makes you appreciate everything a lot more.
I became a cartoonist because I'd sort of failed at everything else, really. I mean, it was by default.
Styles, like everything else, change. Style doesn't.
The trouble with a series as it gets older is it can feel like a tradition, and tradition is the enemy of suspense, and it's the enemy of comedy. It's the enemy of everything, really. So you have to shake it up.
The environment is everything that isn't me.
I believe in Christianity as I believe that the sun has risen: not only because I see it, but because by it I see everything else.
