Never look down to test the ground before taking your next step; only he who keeps his eye fixed on the far horizon will find the right road.
The musicians recommend that I sing a sing the way it is written the first time and then start to look for other notes that aren't in the melody.
As a host on TV, one has to engage the audience and contestants on the show. One has to bring a new element to their personality while hosting so that it doesn't look monotonous to the audience.
If you look at shows like 'Def Comedy Jam' in its heyday, there were so many really funny, talented black comics that never would have gotten on that show because they just weren't doing comedy that fit that mold.
We must get the American public to look past the glitter, beyond the showmanship, to the reality, the hard substance of things. And we'll do it not so much with speeches that will bring people to their feet as with speeches that bring people to their senses.
Actors will never be replaced. The thought that somehow a computer version of a character is going to be something people prefer to look at is a ludicrous idea.
Sometimes life has a way of putting us on our backs to force us to look up.
People are what you make them. A scornful look turns into a complete fool a man of average intelligence. A contemptuous indifference turns into an enemy a woman who, well treated, might have been an angel.
If we look at where relations between the Soviet Union and Germany were in 1945 and where we stand now, then we have achieved so much.
My urge at Christmas time or Hanukkah-time or Kwanzaa-time is that people go to bookstores: that they walk around bookstores and look at the shelves. Go to look for authors that they've loved in the past and see what else those authors have written.
It's nice to see that look of alarm on the faces of the others.
Usually my writing is very over the top and bombastic and very, like, 'I'm amazing! Look at me!'
People ask me about fighting in real life and, honestly, it wouldn't look as graceful as it does in film and TV.
I still love to look at photographs but I couldn't do it myself anymore.
I knew at the time that that wasn't the part I would be doing, they just wanted a screentest so they could have a look at it to show to the directors and producers. Then they wrote a part for me or maybe they already had it in mind, I don't know.
Fashion is about what you look like, which translates to what you would like to be like.
No matter what kind of day I've had at school, I always look forward to golf.
When you look at the calculation, it's amazing that every time you try to prove or disprove time travel, you've pushed Einstein's theory to the very limits where quantum effects must dominate. That's telling us that you really need a theory of everything to resolve this question. And the only candidate is string theory.
My priority will always be my performance more than anything associated with a film. I always look forward to give my best to the character I play on screen.
You can have nothing and be sad, or you can have nothing and be, like, positive and look at it in a good way and try to make your circumstance better.
The thing about organic farming is that the produce will not look the same. Your tomato will not resemble the rich red one from the textbook, and that's the beauty of it.
I can't belong to groups. I've tried. I behave normally, but people don't look at me normally.
Whenever I work on a part, I look at the world through the filter of the character and I pick things they might use through my observations of real life.
The first book I wrote was The Bride Price which was a romantic book, but my husband burnt the book when he saw it. I was the typical African woman, I'd done this privately, I wanted him to look at it, approve it and he said he wouldn't read it.
It seems that we have it backward in our society. We tend to look up to people who are under a great deal of stress, who can handle loads of stress, and those who are under a great deal of pressure.
I think if people want to go back and look at season two of 'True Blood,' I'm proud of my work in that.
With a strong domestic economy, low national unemployment at 5 percent, and increasing retail sales, the picture should look rosy. But one look at the trade deficit changes all of that.
If you fly and you look around today and you see our United family, you see them incredibly motivated and focused on making things right.
You don't have any kind of sense of being foolish when you are acting. When you're younger you don't want to look a fool, so you don't do things that might make you vulnerable.
I eat vegetarian a lot. I buy only fresh ingredients and cook from scratch - that way, when I feel like snacking and look in my fridge, it's: 'Oh, baby carrots or chocolate soy pudding. Take your pick.'
I think that when you are in the limelight it is part of your obligation to be a good role model. A lot of kids look up to you, and you are given a God-given talent, so it is your responsibility. It isn't hard to deal with. I never have to think twice about doing anything.
After all, when the world looks to America, they look to us because we are the most successful political and economic experiment in human history.
Look at the coded language the Right is using against President Barack Obama. Openly calling him a liar in Congress, saying he is 'not a Christian, he was not born here, he is not one of us.' That makes addressing such issues trickier for the first African-American in the White House.
Look at the forces against me. They don't want me out. They're afraid I'll cause trouble if I get out.
My name is real, which probably explains why I never became a superstar... how would that look in lights?
One of the things about being on Twitter, for me, is mostly about just being on the pulse of what people are interested in, what people are doing and what people are looking for. I look at entertainment projects and storytelling, and I really try to think about what people want.
