Through the years you, the Delaware State family and your predecessors, have faced many challenges. You worked through them with fierce determination and good will, and you have made great progress.
Art has been good for my soul. And it's been good for my brain. I think I'm a better painter now than I was a musician growing up. You struggle to see things and translate an image through your hands to a canvas.
The lack of available, good work inspires a lot of people to be self-creating.
It's a werewolf movie with Christina Ricci, and it was a chance to work with some good people. But playing yourself is always fairly risky because you gotta watch how you goof on yourself.
There was a time in the marriage when I could no longer look at myself in a mirror, couldn't feel I was a nice person. A bad relationship can do that, can make you doubt everything good you ever felt about yourself.
I don't like to be rushed. I plan my outfits for the week in advance. I find the appropriate outfit for each occasion, try it on, make sure it is in good condition and have it all ready with shoes, handbag and accessories laid out in my dressing room. Fashion is such a huge part of my career, I have to think ahead.
I know I'm never as good or bad as one single performance. I've never believed in my critics or my worshippers, and I've always been able to leave the game at the arena.
I love to take care of people, so I think I'd be a good vet. I always wanted to be a vet when I was little.
When I think back on it, of course I got lucky and got great directors and good breaks but all that was the physical part. But what made me a star was that I could take a chance and not have anything to worry about in terms of losing.
I was black growing up in an all-white neighborhood, so I felt like I just didn't fit in. Like I wasn't as good as everybody else, or as smart, or whatever.
Evil borders upon good, and vices are confounded with virtues; as the report of good qualities is delightful to a well-disposed mind, so the relation of the contrary should not be offensive.
Learn to... be what you are, and learn to resign with a good grace all that you are not.
We should keep on going along the path of globalization. Globalization is good... when trade stops, war comes.
We habitually engage in meddling with nature. Until this century most of this meddling was good. Witness the preservation of the European countryside. But since then we've smoked it up and littered it and dumped too much in too many waters. I don't think it's our privilege to behave this way.
I used to say that I wanted someone cute and nice, an actor too, so he'd get it. But now I think it would be good for me to date someone who's not in the business.
I've liked all the directors I've worked with a lot. And the ones I like best are the ones that have really good taste about what take was best.
Travel and society polish one, but a rolling stone gathers no moss, and a little moss is a good thing on a man.
That's my only goal. Surround myself with funny people, and make sure everyone has a good time and works hard.
A good script and a good brief from the director is enough to let me know what is expected of me.
Good legislation should bring clarity and not confusion.
Good old-fashioned, puritanical work guilt is, for me, a better colleague than any Muse. If I reach my weekly word target by Friday afternoon, then the weekend is guilt-free.
When you are angry or frustrated, what comes out? Whatever it is, it's a good indication of what you're made of.
Job's avoidance of rebellion against God has nothing to do with God being good or wise or anything like that; it's strictly because God is so powerful, and you don't fight something when you are so much weaker than that which you would fight.
I think sometimes people project things on you, but I'm trying to handle everything that's happened to me with a certain amount of grace, dignity and good manners. You just can't necessarily win all the time.
30 years and 55 pictures - not more than five that were any good, or any good for me.
I'm waiting to get old - I think old guys with tattoos look good.
My teacher told me I'd never amount to anything. I left high school at 15, after one year. But my real teachers were all the people around me. And I was a good listener.
I think there's good in everybody.
Maybe I thought too much about picking up the money and not enough about the really good parts.
My preference is for really good writing, and I just really don't care where it is.
For, if a good speaker, never so eloquent, does not see into the fact, and is not speaking the truth of that - is there a more horrid kind of object in creation?
There is no better proof of a man's being truly good than his desiring to be constantly under the observation of good men.
I don't think it's good to say that you won't do certain things, but I don't necessarily have the natural urge to write.
You know, I was a nerdy kid going through high school, and then I got to college and that all vanished. I mean, a lot of my good friends - when we were in high school, we would never have been able to hang out together because we were in such different cliques or whatever. Now, who cares?
I think love can come fairly easily and grow - but really liking the core essence of someone is a much harder thing to bottle. If you have both, you're in pretty good shape.
Intelligence is not to make no mistakes, but quickly to see how to make them good.
