Rather than love, than money, than fame, give me truth.
Give me the liberty to know, to utter, and to argue freely according to conscience, above all liberties.
I got into acting as a young child on account of a sort of arbitrary thing. A friend of my mom's was a casting director, so really, as kind of a lark, I had a couple of acting jobs that had just enough exposure to give me the option to continue if I wanted to. I followed through with it.
When I was as little as four years old, my mom would give me a pen and paper and tell me to write a story to keep me busy.
Comedy Central is what these young people are viewing. The network speaks to their audience, which is saying, 'Give me fast jokes. Give me party stories and party language.'
I do not like the man who squanders life for fame; give me the man who living makes a name.
Pan me, don't give me the part, publish everybody's book but this one and I will still make it!
Finally, I told them I'd drop out of the management program if they'd give me an entry-level job in the newsroom for union wages, about fifty dollars a week.
Give me your crown, Jesus. Give me your cross, your thorns, so that I may bleed. But give me life, because I have more to do for this country and these people.
My position does not give me the liberty to exclude anything, but my mood tells me there will not be violence.
Good words will not give me back my children.
I had a stormy graduate career, where every week we would have a shouting match. I kept doing deals where I would say, 'Okay, let me do neural nets for another six months, and I will prove to you they work.' At the end of the six months, I would say, 'Yeah, but I am almost there. Give me another six months.'
Retirement isn't so bad. Give me a tall drink, a plush sofa and a rerun of 'Matlock,' and you can have the rest. Matlock is my hero. He never loses.
Life is always a tightrope or a feather bed. Give me the tightrope.
I know what I have to do and I plan to do it. It's a good time to get it done and get it behind me. It's treatable, so why not treat it now? My family will give me comfort but I have to do this alone.
The whole point is, give me a break with the standards. You go to the average jazz label and suggest a record and they want to know which standards you're going to play. I'm saying let's break the formula.
What I know most is that the difference between us is what makes us interesting and attractive and problematic and exciting and vital to each other. Give me difference over indifference any day.
I make a mean cup of coffee, if you give me the right ingredients.
Don't treat your heart like an action figure wrapped in plastic and never used. And don't try to give me that nerd argument that your heart is a 'Batman' with a limited-edition silver bat-erang and therefore if it stays in its original packing it increases in value.
I grew my dreadlocks 12 years ago because they give me the freedom to roll out of bed and not spend hours on my woolly, thick hair. I get tons of dropped jaws and compliments, so I reckon folks like them all right.
Fitness is very important to me because it helps give me a routine when I travel. It gives me one hour of 'me' time and passes the time when I'm lonely. Living with scoliosis serves as a constant reminder to keep my core and back strong. If I get lazy, I feel it in my back first.
Give me some scratching, diving, hungry ballplayers who come to kill you.
You have to love what you do, and you have to need it like you need air. And there's nothing else that would give me the same degree of satisfaction as acting, which is why I can't walk away from it.
When I was about 3, my grandfather used to give me and my sister a nickel to sit out on the front porch with him and sing songs.
With four-appetizer, four-entree menus, it's like, give me a break. That's not a restaurant, that's a dinner party.
I squirrel away sealed greeting cards that people give me so I can open them later when I'm having a bad day.
I was never that much a focus of interest that I became a 'thing' at an earlier point in my career. I'm aware of having become a 'thing' now, which doesn't give me a lot of pleasure.
You couldn't give me any more confidence than when I was on T.V. because I was in control, but I wasn't in control in my private life.
Marty Robbins once sang you give me a mountain, I've been given a few mountains in my life.
My little scam in April '85 went like this: Give me $50,000; here's some names of some people we've recruited.
Give me golf clubs, fresh air and a beautiful partner, and you can keep the clubs and the fresh air.
My M.O. over the years is that I make things better, where people give me that freedom.
I'm not interested in being Wonder Woman in the delivery room. Give me drugs.
I feel it's the best thing that could have happened for me, leaving the Braves so I could go to another team that would give me more of a chance to play like with the Marlins.
If only God would give me some clear sign! Like making a large deposit in my name at a Swiss bank.
I was born abroad, but my parents were both English. Still, those few years of separation, and then coming back to England as an outsider, did give me an ability to see the country in a slightly detached way. I suppose I was made aware of what Englishness actually is because I only became immersed in it later in life.
