You can hesitate before deciding, but not once the decision is made.
I don't want to be a historical action figure or treated like I'm dead. Like one of those people where they go, 'Oh, isn't she dead?' And then I walk up, and they're like, 'Whoa.' I can't really complain... because I've made myself into a historical action figure. I was like, 'Yeah, come on in!'
False history gets made all day, any day, the truth of the new is never on the news.
I made a classic mistake. I held out for something better.
As a player you are always made to feel welcome, but at the same time, there is too much pressure.
I'm fully confident that I will win the jackpot - so much so that I've already made a list of all the charities I will contribute to.
We were never the family that ordered pizza, and my mom never came home with a bucket of fried chicken. My mom always made home-cooked meals. We always sat down at the dinner table as a family.
I've met a lot of artists who wanted to paint me. LeRoy Neiman was one. He did it from a photograph. He made 20,000 copies, and we sold them all.
When I first concluded to print the book, I made an honest effort to construct it in the third person.
When I finally made it to the set, I spent a lot of time doing damage control on The Magic Christian.
I've made somewhere around 150 pictures, and a lot of them are B-pictures, I can tell you that. I'd say there's about one hundred of them I don't remember.
Society has made us believe you should look like an 18-year-old model all your life.
Parents shouldn't assume children are made out of sugar candy and will break and collapse instantly. Kids don't. We do.
You know, the benefit in life is to say, 'Maybe you made a mistake, let's dig deep.'
I guess my first big break was getting the hit show 'Cavemen' on ABC. People made fun of it, but it was a huge opportunity for me and moved me out to L.A., where I learned a ton about acting and how much I didn't want to be in makeup for four hours a day.
You made a lot of mistakes, and you wrote a lot of crap. But it was all part of the learning process.
John Howard Davies was not a very human person... if you made a mistake of any kind, any sort of pause in speech, he would treat you rather as if he was a schoolmaster.
My first book took five years to write and I made $1,000 on it. The second took three years and I made $3,000. All this time I was a housewife being supported by a husband. I was very lucky.
But painting can be too lonely... I like being with people too much to have ever made that my life's work.
When Mr. Ludwig invented the bass-drum pedal, that's what made the drum set possible.
Don Chew is the owner of the Orange County Badminton Club, the location where I train. He played badminton when he was young and always had the passion for it.

When someone is punched in the face, you find out what they are made of.
I've never had plastic surgery, but if they made a new invention for making people taller, I'd be the first to have the surgery.
And sometimes I actually start to think human life is just as cheap to corporate America as animal life, so long as there are big profits to be made.

I think the Hammer films really made death quite sexy.
The idea that you're made up of the people that come before you and you somehow have some kind of conscious dialog with your genetics - I think it's really deep and interesting stuff.
'The Sopranos,' for instance, is arguably the best cable show of all time. They could have made a movie, but that show ended so perfectly, it would almost be a disadvantage to make a movie like that. Then again, if you made a 'Sopranos' movie, people would be lined around the block to go see it.
I had just got married when I started writing my fourth novel. I'd come back from honeymoon, moved into our first house - a gorgeous little carriage house in London - and made my office on the third floor, overlooking the treetops in North West London.
The incorrectness and weaknesses of a theory cause other minds to formulate the problems more exactly and in this way scientific progress is made.
To be honest, I've made a game out of trying to live through my James Dean, Janis Joplin, Freddie Prinze, Jim Morrison period, those demons that we all have that we're either successful or not at making work for us rather than destroy us.
Each life is made up of mistakes and learning, waiting and growing, practicing patience and being persistent.
The first time at age 5 and a half, when I took a racket in my hands and my father fed me some balls, I made 50 backhands in a row - didn't miss a single one.
A lot of people don't know this: when I was young, I wanted to be a garbage man. I asked my mom, and she said they made good money, and it was steady work.
