Do every act of your life as if it were your last.
To start telling people that you're beautiful, or just feel beautiful, just start acting like you are the most beautiful woman in the world. And it really improves everything! Because your sort of psyche responds to it - like this is truthful!
Don't let your fear paralyze you. Prepare yourself not only technically, but also emotionally.
Rock-and-roll, to me, is very serious because we deal with the young people. We deal with people who need something, and that's the same thing that a preacher does. He feeds you something that you need spiritually in your soul and in your makeup.
I believe that people who do not vote in this country have no right to complain about the government that we are now living under. By the same token, if you don't really vote in television, you're never going to have your way. Write a letter to the president of the network.
Your destination might not end up being exactly what you envisioned to start with, but if you stick it out and work through the challenges, what you end up with will be far better than you could have ever imagined.
I want challenges that really test me, very difficult ones. I was the same as a kid: when you play with players your own age, it doesn't bring out your best.
Try to forget what objects you have before you - a tree, a house, a field, or whatever. Merely think, 'Here is a little square of blue, here an oblong of pink, here a streak of yellow,' and paint it just as it looks to you, the exact color and shape, until it gives you your own impression of the scene before you.
If you can relate to what the character's going through, the story can be as ridiculous as possible, and people will relate to it. You can be fearless in your storytelling if you're vigilant about protecting your characters.
I'm a believer in paying your dues.
Definitely when you get handed roles like Joel in 'The Last of Us,' that's something that will change your life, and I learned so much from that role.
Always try to do something for the other fellow and you will be agreeably surprised how things come your way - how many pleasing things are done for you.
Always have a collection of your favorite CDs with you.
Love grounds you. It orients you. Love brings your awareness to others and yourself. Love opens your mind and heart to others and yourself. Love settles you and gives you balance.
Your most important work is always ahead of you, never behind you.
Never argue; repeat your assertion.
Imagine a part of the U.S.A., from which the U.S.A. started - where is the cradle of your history? This is Kosovo for Serbia.
You make sacrifices to become a mother, but you really find yourself and your soul.
When a guy tells me I'm cute, it's not something desirable. Cute is more like what you want your pet to be.
I once said, 'We will bury you,' and I got into trouble with it. Of course we will not bury you with a shovel. Your own working class will bury you.
When your life changes and you become a more public person, in some ways you need to be a more closed person, you know?
Every time I go to the theater, there's something about the atmosphere, seeing something unfold live in front of an audience, that you can't get out of your system.
Know yourself; keep your circle tight. Keep your friends and your work circle tight.
And when you see it the first time you put the film together, the roughest cut, is when you want to go home and open up your veins and get in a warm tub and just go away. And then it gradually, maybe, works its way back, somewhere toward that spot you were at before.
Every gift from a friend is a wish for your happiness.
Have an open mind - allow different ideas into your way of thinking.
I believe that both people in a marriage should be concentrated on health, and you should be inspiring each other. How to make your mind healthier, how to make your body healthier. Healthy mind, healthy body, healthy soul.
To really be tortured by a song, it needs to be more than just something you don't like or don't get; it has to make your skin crawl by getting under it. Strangely, that last clause could describe provocative or daring music, as well.
Things that bring out your emotions are what should be in theaters and in books. That's what art is. It makes you feel things.
You know, when you're poor and you have a bunch of kids in your family, you don't know that everybody's not poor.
If you had your life to live over again, do it overseas.
With such thoughts in your mind, now that you have resolved to love Him and please Him with all your strength, your only fear should be to fear God too much and to place too little confidence in Him.
I'm just going to go out and play. At the end of the day, you are still hitting a little white ball with your clubs.
If you reveal your secrets to the wind, you should not blame the wind for revealing them to the trees.
When you write down your ideas you automatically focus your full attention on them. Few if any of us can write one thought and think another at the same time. Thus a pencil and paper make excellent concentration tools.
The great gift of conversation lies less in displaying it ourselves than in drawing it out of others. He who leaves your company pleased with himself and his own cleverness is perfectly well pleased with you.
