I didn't believe that I'd ever be lucky enough to be able to make a living as an actor.
This might seem impossible to believe, but some lawyers actually like lawyering.
I believe in God, who made of one blood all nations that on earth do dwell. I believe that all men, black and brown and white, are brothers, varying through time and opportunity, in form and gift and feature, but differing in no essential particular, and alike in soul and the possibility of infinite development.
I don't believe in government regulation of the software industry.
You don't want your credibility banana to turn brown, but you do want to speak out about what you believe in.
I'm not the 'chosen one.' I'm just one of many who have been given gifts. I can write. I can bloviate on TV. So I'm trying to use the gifts in a positive way. And I believe that's all directed. And that's why I'm here on the planet.
I believe in the Bible, and I believe in Jesus. It's a big part of my life.
I believe if more American children read the Ten Commandments and are taught what they mean, they will predictably engage in less crime.
I do believe in praising that which deserves to be praised.
Some parents believe that competition helps prepare children to succeed. Others fear that their children will not be able to handle failure.
I've always been a firm believer in mind over matter. If you don't believe you can achieve, your body will start to believe this and you'll be stuck.
Believe half of what you see and only some of what you hear, unless you hear it from me.
If anything, I'm the most hesitant to bring on a label. That terrifies me. I think people believe major labels are linked to success. They're absolutely not that.
We do not want to live in a theocracy. We should maintain that barrier and government has no business telling someone what they ought to believe or how they should conduct their private lives.
I believe that national sovereignties will shrink in the face of universal interdependence.
Acting is trying to be absolutely truthful; to get audiences to believe that you are a dean, when, actually, not only are you not the dean, but if you walked into the building they'd probably throw you out. That's very hard.
I already know what things look like - I don't want description. People believe in appearances, and I don't believe in appearances at all.
How is the world ruled and led to war? Diplomats lie to journalists and believe these lies when they see them in print.
I do believe that in order to be a successful negotiator that as a diplomat, you have to be able to put yourself into the other person's shoes. Unless you can understand what is motivating them, you are never going to be able to figure out how to solve a particular problem.
I believe you can remember the future as much as the past.
I'm a Christian, but I don't believe in religion or anything like that.
For whatever be the knowledge which we are able to obtain of God, either by perception or reflection, we must of necessity believe that He is by many degrees far better than what we perceive Him to be.
I do not believe in political movements. I believe in personal movement, that movement of the soul when a man who looks at himself is so ashamed that he tries to make some sort of change - within himself, not on the outside.
Writing is how I find out what I believe and what I care most deeply about. It's how I sort through the mess of daily experience and try to make sense of it - by stepping out of it for a while. Writing is how I train a searchlight into the darker corners of my self and the world, as I'm sure I'd never do otherwise.
If two of your films don't do well, people say you're out in the cold and your career is over. One film does well, and you've had the best year of your life! I don't believe in all that's written.
I could never say that one religion is wrong. I could never say that this person's God is wrong, I could never say that someone is wrong because they don't believe in God.
A consensus politician is someone who does something that he doesn't believe is right because it keeps people quiet when he does it.
I want to get involved in causes I believe in, and I know so many others that want to also get involved, but it's hard to know how. Often, it's through big organisations, and you don't know exactly where your money is going or what effect you are having.
I believe a lot of players that start to think about money - 'Oh my goodness; I'm up for a new contract' - they don't have a great season because they're thinking about all these different things. Do your business on the field, and everything takes care of itself.
I believe - though I may be wrong, because I'm no expert - that this war is about what most wars are about: hegemony, money, power and oil.
Men who have been raised violently have every reason to believe it is appropriate for them to control others through violence; they feel no compunction over being violent to women, children, and one another.
I often sit back and say, 'Be sure about what I believe.'
I do believe the Democratic party has moved far to the right. I do believe that the party has a bunch of elephants running around in donkey clothes.
Never ignore a gut feeling, but never believe that it's enough.
I believe we're the party of small business.
Science is the refusal to believe on the basis of hope.
