I've always known that writing plays is very difficult, because I've written three or four that have never been produced.
My position has always been, along with many other people, that any differences be resolved in a nonviolent way.
My ministry's always been one of social activism. I think a responsible minister must be at some levels involved in the social order.
I always have a quotation for everything - it saves original thinking.
It's always nice to have new clothes made for you.
I loved being on Broadway, but performing has become exhausting, and I just don't want to live in New York anymore. I'm just sick of the competition in New York, the feeling that I always have to rehearse to keep up my performance. I don't feel like rehearsing, even though it should be my favorite thing in the world to do.
I had always done these 3D things that you could walk through. They were always done off the seat of my pants without blueprints or course.
You always pass failure on your way to success.
Our souls may lose their peace and even disturb other people's, if we are always criticizing trivial actions - which often are not real defects at all, but we construe them wrongly through our ignorance of their motives.
At first I was always cast as the girlfriend. It was a long time before I got to play characters who were people.
I never look backwards. I have always been an athlete. I boxed before I acted.
I could be happy doing something like architecture. It would involve another couple of years of graduate school, but that's what I studied in college. That's what I always wanted to do.
I have told many times I am always a student willing to learn new things.
Business creates jobs; government does not. Government creates a whole slew of jobs each time a new program or scheme is implemented, but always at the expense of the taxpayer. Small businesses invest in new businesses, which results in more jobs.
I have always been a singer/songwriter, and I was pushed in places I didn't want to do, like pop or top forty. I don't belong there.
I had piano lessons at five and started guitar at ten, but although music and acting was always around me, my parents never pressured me into it.
I always say that the problem with jazz accessibility is not the content of the music, it's people's ability to access it.
When you're a writer you no longer see things with the freshness of the normal person. There are always two figures that work inside you.
Being a shy person, I always felt strange outside with my camera.
I am my own man now; I can think for myself, whereas when I was 20, 21, I always wanted to please others.
Tennis players we're always playing in center courts that feel like arenas. And when we get on the court and the crowd cheers your name or salutes you - it's like you're a gladiator in the arena. And everyone is cheering - and you're fighting, you're screaming, during your strokes - it feels like you're an animal, fighting for your life.
You don't want to be down 2-0 in a series. It's always important to try and get one on the opponent's home court. It makes your job at home easier.
I was always the bad student.
Writers are always selling somebody out.
I have always known what I wanted, and that was beauty... in every form.
As a child I always wanted to be a singer. The music my mother played in the house moved me - Aretha Franklin, Chaka Khan, Mahalia Jackson. It was truly spiritual. It made you understand what God was. We are all spirits. We get depressed. But music makes you want to live. I know my music has saved my life.
What you've got to do is recognize that you don't control everything for a start, you've got to play the cards you're dealt, the hand of cards you're dealt, as best you can, and that's what I always seek to do.
I've always had self-belief, though my sensitive side has never been fully appreciated. For every 'Down in the Tube Station at Midnight,' I've written an 'English Rose.' People forget.
Obviously, because of my disability, I need assistance. But I have always tried to overcome the limitations of my condition and lead as full a life as possible. I have traveled the world, from the Antarctic to zero gravity.
I always individuate myself from other writers who say they would die if they couldn't write. For me, I'd die if I couldn't read.
I always like Madonna; any Madonna song is good for me. Old school Janet Jackson is always good. I usually go old school. It's very rare that I pick a song from nowadays.
It's always been a gift with me, hearing music the way I do. I don't know where it comes from, it's just there and I don't question it.
Texas is OK if you want to settle down and do your own thing quietly, but it's not for outrageous people, and I was always outrageous.
Science always has its origin in the adaptation of thought to some definite field of experience.
The real hero is always a hero by mistake; he dreams of being an honest coward like everybody else.
It never became an act in the sense of an act. It was always, no matter where we worked, little revues.
