I've created an internal rule that Sunday is off-limits unless I put it on the schedule myself. That's family time.
I will admit I am a little bit of a line fudger. I will change the line a bit to make it feel better in my mouth. That is something they'll allow you to do on 'Veep' unless it's a particular joke where they're like, 'No, it just sounds better like this.' But with a lot of network shows, the script is law; you cannot change it all.
As no outward motion or change, when normal, in man's external body can take place unless provoked by an inward impulse, given through one of the three functions named, so with the external or manifested Universe.
There aren't as many roles, and I think there's a lack of openness in casting an Asian character in a leading role or unless they're a stereotype. It's been hard. I've been able to play some non-stereotypical roles, which is great, but I have a lot of Asian actor friends who are struggling.
Life can be boring unless you put some effort into it.
It's absolutely true that unless you can instill discipline upon yourself, you will never be able to lead others.
I started off as a journalist when I was young and I did not get paid unless I wrote three stories a day.
Paternalism is everywhere in our lives. We have to immunise our children unless we are upset about it. In India, it is the opposite. It is possible to get your kids immunised, but you really have to want to.
I am like the sick sheep that strays from the rest of the flock. Unless the Good Shepherd takes me on His shoulders and carries me back to His fold, my steps will falter, and in the very effort of rising, my feet will give way.
There's no reason to hold yourself back and say you can't do something in life unless you go for it and try to do it.
As you get older and wiser you realize that when people are given anything without having to earn it (unless they are physically or mentally utterly incapable of earning anything), they become ungrateful and lazy. They also become less happy.
Obviously I ask my family and loved ones for advice here and there, but I kind of have a rule with the people I love that surround me - close family and close friends - that unless I ask for it, I don't really want advice thrown out.
LA's a very hard place to be unless you have people there that love you. It can be very, very lonely, and it can eat you up if you don't take care of yourself. In LA, nobody wants to talk to each other, everybody's giving each other catty looks.
The business model - where books can be returned, and where a 50% sell-through is considered acceptable - is archaic and wasteful. Writers get small royalties, little say in how their books are marketed and sold, and simple things like cover and title approval are unheard of unless you're a huge bestseller.
When you're on stage, unless you surrender to the moment, you're not telling the truth. I look for people that tell me the truth.
When I hear the word 'documentary,' I don't think certain things should be left out. You've got to keep it 100 percent as much as you can, unless your group has a meeting beforehand and says, 'Yo - don't say this, 'cause boom, boom, boom.' Other than that, it's a documentary so let's document, you know what I mean?
I'm not going to take a show unless I'm not sure I can do it. You have to have that sort of adrenaline.
I believe in not attacking a country pre-emptively unless you're sure of what you're doing and you're working with allies.
You can't be funny unless you're tragic, and you can't be tragic unless you're funny.
It's always easy, I think, to raise the importance of a scene through the addition of music. But it's very awkward to end it unless there's a door slam or a gunshot or something that just takes you right out of it.
I became a writer because I love to read, yet I never get to unless I'm reviewing a book or doing research.
No one really forgives unless he has been hurt.
You can't win the Kentucky Derby unless you're on a thoroughbred.
We can pretend that China is not there. But China is there, and unless we put our economy on the right track, it is going to overwhelm us completely.
I think any statement about stock prices is always suspect unless it's made by Warren Buffett.
I do not believe in a fate that falls on men however they act; but I do believe in a fate that falls on them unless they act.
Reading asks that you bring your whole life experience and your ability to decode the written word and your creative imagination to the page and be a co-author with the writer, because the story is just squiggles on the page unless you have a reader.
I loved photography and everybody said it was a crazy thing to do because in those days nobody made it into the film business. I mean, unless you were related to somebody there was no way in.
There aren't many roles that are interesting if you're a 40-year-old woman, unless you're Julia Roberts or Cate Blanchett.
If you look at 'Avatar,' could you imagine if you did 'Avatar' for 50 million dollars? It would be ridiculous! You would almost be getting laughs from the audience, unless you got a real indie director to do something incredibly stylised.
It is not possible to educate the will and the healthy soul that underlies it unless we develop insights that awaken energetic impulses in the soul and will.
I write all the time, whether I feel like it or not. I never get inspired unless I'm already writing.
'Tis hard to comprehend how one man can come to be master of many, equal to himself in right, unless it be by consent or by force.
You don't go into politics unless you want to win.
My conscience does not permit me to run for the presidency or any other official position unless it is within a democratic framework.
No one can deny who you are unless you are, in some way, minimizing the power and the force of your divine substance.
