In high school, I discovered myself. I was interested in race relations and the legal profession. I read about Lincoln and that he believed the law to be the most difficult of professions.
We look at life from the back side of the tapestry. And most of the time, what we see is loose threads, tangled knots and the like. But occasionally, God's light shines through the tapestry, and we get a glimpse of the larger design with God weaving together the darks and lights of existence.
I work a lot abroad and have the most wonderful family and kids, but being away, you do miss out sometimes. I really hope I won't regret the choices in the future.
Real love is a pilgrimage. It happens when there is no strategy, but it is very rare because most people are strategists.
It is simply the view, and a view I think shared by most members of the party, that it is very difficult to have a leader that does not command the support of the parliamentary party.
I'll read a book every now and then, but unlike most of my friends I don't always have one on the go.
It's the most righteous, which of course is not the same thing as the most profitable.
The Olympics remain the most compelling search for excellence that exists in sport, and maybe in life itself.
Jackie Gleason said that comedy is the most exacting form of dramatic art, because it has an instant critic: laughter.
To me, that aspect of life that most touches the everyday and celebrations is food.
Many nations use language simply to convey information, but it's different in Ireland. With most conversational exchanges you get an 'added extra' like the free little biscuit you sometimes get with a cappuccino in a fancy coffee place.
'The Dick Van Dyke Show' was the most fun I ever had and the most creative period of my life.
I ran spotlight. Swept up. Did box office. Ran the lighting board. But acting was the most fun.
We were doing it under the most extraordinary circumstances, but the first out of the tent in the morning would be David Lean. He said to me on the very first day of shooting, Pete, this is the beginning of a great adventure.
Sam Wood, the director, made most of his money as a real estate agent; there was nothing of the temperamental artist about him.
My father is a chemist, my mother was a homemaker. My parents instilled in us the feeling that learning was the most exciting thing that could happen to you, and it never ends.
A musical film is my idea of heaven. You can pre-record, you don't have to sing live. Singing live was the bit I hated the most. I never felt like a confident singer.
My sense was that most of the elected officials in Washington - in their heart of hearts - really believe that the system can't be too bad because it produced them.
If I ever loved a woman, the more I loved her, the more I wanted to hurt her. Frida was only the most obvious victim of this disgusting trait.
Mostly, I would like people to ask other writers about the craft of their writing so we could learn from one another. We ask movie directors why they chose to use certain lights and angles and speeds of film, but most of the time, we ignore the craft of a writer.
For me, singing is the most natural thing in the world. I've grown up with it and I know I've got that gift.
As I understand the American Founders, the most brilliant and daring idea they had was that it's possible to create a free society that could stay free forever.
When I'd hear something that sounded like I could follow it - most of those big band jazz tunes are blues anyway - I would hum it and play with the fiddle while I was humming.
What I remember most about high school are the memories I created with my friends.
For me, hour-long drama was always the thing I felt the most comfortable doing, and I've played so many dramatic roles in the theater.
Everyone thinks I land in a chopper on top of my building and I have the most cushy existence. Could you understand that I might have the most messed up life myself?
What really ticks me off is how the public figures you automatically become the roles you play. What most people never see is the silly side of me.
Unlike the general public, I rather like most politicians.
Your dear baby has died innocent and blameless, and has been called away by an all wise and merciful Creator, most probably from a life to misery and misfortune, and most certainly to one of happiness and bliss.
No government is here forever. And there are other forces - the most potent force in our society, in fact, big business - doing good for the environment.
What has changed is that when I photographed, most people that I photographed didn't have the right of refusal on their work. It would take a Marilyn Monroe at her height to be able to dictate that.
The only thing I hope I did was never put in question my love for the game, or my passion to be counted on when it mattered most.
There's an inherent danger in letting people think that they have perfected something. When they believe they've 'nailed it,' most people tend to sit back and rest on their laurels while countless others will be labouring furiously to better their work!
At least the rap metal stuff is good, but it's not really my bag. I've been listening to the radio since we've been touring the past month, because we don't get it most of the time.
National parks are cathedrals of spirituality and emotion, and unfortunately, they are being loved to death by many of the same people who enjoy them the most.
I think that instinct, that storytelling instinct, rescued me most of my life.
