Years ago, I tore out a Nike ad featuring Allyson Felix and Maria Sharapova looking super fierce and tough. I always told my family that I wanted to be like them someday, so to come home to my apartment and see boxes of Nike gear stacked higher than my doorknob is pretty much a dream come true.
Sometimes we have to take on jobs that we don't love, and I always encourage any creative person to use those as the fuel to do the things that you do love to do, even if they don't pay.
Here is what I know. When you're running a successful company or an organization, you can take this human equation to the bank: underconfidence plus insecurity always equals paranoia and backstabbing.
I grew up in New York, and I've always been surrounded by fashion. My grandmother used to write for 'Vogue' in the '50s, and my mother was a dancer and a model.
My father was always a straight-up funny guy. He was silly. He was my inspiration.
I am always fascinated by India.
Bad guys have always been my bag... I look mean without even trying.
A lot of people ask me, 'What is your goal now that you have done everything?' And I always say that my goal is to not be bored by what I do. The only way that I cannot be bored by what I do is if I play something and it's all new to me.
It is always consoling to think of suicide: in that way one gets through many a bad night.
I'm not always going to like the paparazzi photos, but I'm still going to go to lunch with my boyfriend.
I've always had a day job and never been just acting.
For me, my No. 1 priority in life was to always have a family. If I had not been able to work anymore, then that would have been it. I would definitely choose family over career. It's really great that my field has allowed me to work and let me do things that a woman does naturally.
The bad news is that most traditional VCs have a youth bias that they will state very overtly. You always wonder if that's a self-fulfilling prophecy or if it's something about the nature of those businesses.
Testimony always comes from people who are in some way disempowered.
Loving an old bachelor is always a no-win situation, and you come to terms with that early on, or you go away.
Organized Christianity has always represented immortality as a sort of common heritage; but I never could see why spiritual life should not be conditioned on the same terms as all life, i. e., correspondence with environment.
Throughout my entire life, I've always been a captain. I was the captain of my high school team. I was the captain at Oklahoma State University. I was the captain of the 2008 Olympic team.
If you're lucky enough to work with great actors and creative people, they're always just going to be who they are, so I don't think there's a difference between the Brits and the Americans.
Growing up, I was always in my high school musicals and everything, but I kind of stopped doing all that when I finished school and acting became my main priority.
I'm always game for movies based on time travel. Hopefully, someday, I'll be a part of a time travel series of films.
You always say 'I'll quit when I start to slide', and then one morning you wake up and realize you've done slid.
I've always had this identity thing. When I was little, I was always changing my handwriting because I couldn't decide which one I liked best.
I am always scared when I start something new. That hasn't changed.
I hope that by going to visit the pope I have enabled everybody to see that the words Catholic and Protestant, as ordinarily used, are completely out of date. They are almost always used now purely for propaganda purposes. That is why so much trouble is caused by them.
My mom was always really healthy and cautious about her diet, so I'm not a big sugar guy.
I know I always say my occupation is not dancing, but dancing is in my heart, dancing makes me feel good.
Rihanna has guts and she always seems to be singing from someplace honest, dark and fierce.
But I've really learned you don't have to fit in. No matter where you go, you're always going to be you and if they don't like you for who you are, then what's the point of being someone else?
My mother dressed me always very conservatively.
I have always marveled that so many religions exact such revenge against dissenters. It only weakens the appeal of their faith and contradicts any claims they might have made that 'all religions are basically the same.'
Always go to other people's funerals, otherwise they won't come to yours.
People were always able to look at Bettie Page and see what they needed her to be and she gave them that permission to do so. So in that way she's a feminist but I don't think she was ever trying to be.
But I think doctors have always been either honest or dishonest.
I've always gotten along well with Texans. You've got to.
I always loved watching movies because I loved what certain moments inside of films did to me.
I just stay focused, and I always think about gymnastics. I am just doing what I always do... working really hard and pushing myself to the maximum and keeping myself motivated.
