Though so trifling, the success of our first Buffalo hunt gave us quite a social lift.
Like many traditional feminists, I became one of the boys, only better. For a while it gave me a buzz to win at their game, but ultimately, that kind of power just goes nowhere. Traditional feminism excludes men and so perpetuates conflict. I am not interested in warring about power.
With the first money I got, I built my parents a house back home, gave them a string of credit cards, and said 'Go.'
I met with my lawyers. They gave me all the wrong advice. For a long time I refused to accept the child was mine. I should have met her, arranged a DNA test and accepted my responsibility.

It is to TV that I owe my freedom from bondage of the Latin lover roles. Television came along and gave me parts to chew on. It gave me wings as an actor.

I must say, to my great surprise and pleasure, I deeply loved making movies in the United States because of all the opportunities it gave me to work with people that I admire as artists.
Yoga gave me the ability to calm down.
I gave her life, I can take life away.
I watched 'Evil Dead' when I was 12. I was going through all the horror I could grab. I remember going to the video store and asking for something 'real.' And the guy gave me the 'Evil Dead' VHS. When you're 12, you're not supposed to see that.
Swimming gave me my start, but my pal Tarzan did the real work. He set me up nicely.
I've been told the weirdest things: 'Yeah, I love taking a bath to your music!' or 'I gave birth to my daughter while listening to your music.'

Going to the Olympics as a Maasai I want to make them proud because, after the warm welcome they gave me when I went back and being their leader, I want to also be the warrior in the Olympics. That will be something good because that will be the first Olympic gold medal for the Maasai.

They gave us the freedom just to play and have fun.
I know a man who gave up smoking, drinking, sex, and rich food. He was healthy right up to the day he killed himself.
I've been saying I really want to get a 1992 Jeep Sahara, and I'm going to paint it so it looks like the 'Jurassic Park' Jeep. I've actually seen a guy who did have a Jeep Sahara, and he did make it look like the 'Jurassic Park' Jeep. I gave him a thumbs up and said, 'You're awesome!'
I've always acknowledged my debt to Hammer. I've always said I'm very grateful to them. They gave me this great opportunity, made me a well known face all over the world for which I am profoundly grateful.
God created man and, finding him not sufficiently alone, gave him a companion to make him feel his solitude more keenly.
I gave up shame a long time ago.

You have always given me more than I gave to you. You were the wings on which I soared.
My mother never gave up one me. I messed up in school so much they were sending me home, but my mother sent me right back.
I feel, you know, empowered because I gave life. I have a son now. I feel like I'm stronger.
