I see the game differently than some guys. I'm always reading the next move.
I'm going to save my public voice largely for the issues where I have some depth.
I'm not certain, but I have a little gypsy blood in me. And my mother always told me that her grandma could give someone the evil eye, and I'd better not cross her because she had some of that blood in her. Mother always believed that she could predict the future, and she had dreams that came true.
There are some achievements which are never done in the presence of those who hear of them. Catching salmon is one, and working all night is another.
All the praise I received couldn't substitute for the praise I had never received from my mother at home. I longed for some wonderful man to come and save me from my life - but there didn't seem to be any, at least not for me.
I don't care what I look like. I must be comfortable. Some of my friends have plastic surgery and Botox, but I'm not interested in it.
A definition of poetry can only determine what poetry should be and not what poetry actually was and is; otherwise the most concise formula would be: Poetry is that which at some time and some place was thus named.
You need to be careful with a Bluetooth headset. Because some guys look crazy with them.
Everytime I go to Vegas, I seem to incur some kind of fine.
I think what some people are doing with effects is starting to get silly. It's overused.
I've got some stories to tell, and acting was a way I could express myself and not feel stupid. I fell in love with that.
Google, Amazon, Apple. Any number of cloud providers and computer service providers who can increasingly limit your access to your own information, control all your processing, take away your data if they want to, and observe everything you do; in a way, that does give them some leverage over your own life.
When they released Sidewalks of New York, there were some shots with the towers they were going to take out, and Ed told them no. I don't think they can deny the towers were a part of New York.
One lives with so many bad deeds on one's conscience and some good intentions in one's heart.
There's a difference between criminals and crooks. Crooks steal. Criminals blow some guy's brains out. I'm a crook.
Be true to yourself, and, um, don't worry about some large companies' quarterly profit index.
I'm not sure I'm quite ready to have someone be a prospector of jobs for me, because I believe there's some kind of destiny involved with meeting people... some things are just meant to happen.
Every time I'd get a critique or some redirection, I'd always just take it very personally. Now I have no problem with it.
Most successful men have not achieved their distinction by having some new talent or opportunity that was at hand.
Some virtues are only seen in affliction and others only in prosperity.
In the music industry, you meet some not very nice people, some very strange characters.
I'm in a little bit of a different situation, because working in the business that I do and living in the city that I live in, I haven't had a problem with people who are gay. Since I was 10 I've been working alongside them, and some of my best friends are gay.
I have always held firmly to the thought that each one of us can do a little to bring some portion of misery to an end.
What some call health, if purchased by perpetual anxiety about diet, isn't much better than tedious disease.
I can't find a person without some link to the armed forces!
Some people think that Facebook is fantastic; other people are very worried about it.
I think that pop, and to some extent rock, are like sport and fashion industry in that they're about the exuberance of youth. That's the sort of subliminal ideology.
Even if some days I feel like I'm ready to fall apart, I am ultimately happier than I've ever been. My family gives me more joy than I thought possible, and my career fulfills me tremendously. All in all, I feel like am in the exact place I am supposed to be in, doing exactly what I am supposed to be doing.
I'm certain that it was an incredible gift for me to not only be friends with some of the greatest blues people who've ever lived, but to learn how they played, how they sang, how they lived their lives, ran their marriages, and talked to their kids.
Fortune brings in some boats that are not steered.
Style is innate to who I am. My father gave me a picture the other day. I must have been about seven, and I had on wing-tip shoes and some cool pants. I thought, 'Wow!'
I chose 'The Voice' because I knew they had a lot more respect for each artist, as opposed to the other shows. They don't get it. I don't think those shows ever got it. I was turned off by some of the other shows and how they did things.
Some people possess talent, others are possessed by it. When that happens, a talent becomes a curse.
I didn't have any terrible survival jobs. The main job I had before I was able to transition over to acting full-time was working at an after-school program at a middle school teaching improv and standup. So even when I had a regular job, I was still lucky enough to be doing the stuff I loved in some way.
Nixon in 1968, unlike Obama 2008, was elected as a minority president with only 43 percent of the vote. Yet, in 1972, he won what, in some measures, was the most lopsided election in American history with 61 percent.
I'm drawn to doing interesting stuff at work. And some of the time with the supernatural, you get to do really crazy, fun things. But I'm not a big genre-fantasy gal, particularly.
