I have a following. Whenever I am on tour they come. It is always sold out.
Between 1958 and 1963, I sold about 40 million records - to the shock of my mother and father because I was always playing Beethoven. But I bought my mother a mink stole. She was very happy, and she said, 'I think this is better than Beethoven.'
Just as long as something is gained, a lesson is learned. I do like those. The more quiet victories are always great.
Music has always been in my family, but it was mainly keyboards. I learned to play classical piano, but when I first heard the amazing bass guitar of James Jamerson, who played on all the big Motown hits of the '60s and '70s, I knew bass guitar was my instrument.
My mother played piano so we always had music around the house.
People always say life is short. I've never been convinced of that - mine seems to have a tendency to go on and on.
My parents always pushed creativity on us, but they made it seem like the fun thing to do.
I'll always be into sports. Sports is part of my life forever. My TV stays on ESPN all day long, I'm one of those. I don't even listen to music in the car; all I listen to is sports talk.
There's always gonna be guys who are just wonderful singers and probably shouldn't be writing songs. Then there's always gonna be guys who move up the ranks writing. I don't know what's healthier or what's the best thing - probably whatever yields the best songs.
My parents had to work hard, and I was always looking for a way to make it big - for their sakes as well as my own.
However long, it's definitely the presence of other people that brings out the weirdness - that collision of your own way of being with the everyday lives of others, the abrupt awareness - always a surprise no matter how often it's happened - that their lives are very different from your own.
I always think the villains in all of the Disney movies are almost operatic in scale.
The question is always 'What is the role of a labor movement?' How much is about collective bargaining, how much is about social change for all workers?
Always, always powder your T-zone and the lines going from your nose down around your mouth so you don't look like a bulldog. When those areas are shiny, it's awful. And gloss will keep your lips from appearing dehydrated.
Whenever I would get in trouble with my dad, my mom would always save me. So that's why I like my mom - she cool.
To me the acid test was always the crew, and if the crew liked you, you're OK.
I've certainly always had a very high regard for Botswana and so I paint a very good picture of the country and I've never pretended to be painting an entirely realistic picture.
Some cats, Iggy Pop, they're going to always have that hunger.
I think that's because believable action is based on authenticity, and accuracy is very important to me. I always spend time researching my novels, exploring the customs and attitudes of the county I'm using for their setting.
I always wanted to make a 'James Bond' film, and they only seemed to hire British directors, and I'd made 'Swingers' - they were never going to hire me for a 'James Bond' film off 'Swingers.'
Career is too pompous a word. It was a job, and I have always felt privileged to be paid for what I love doing.
I'm always interested in mixing technology and music. You know, maybe I'll have a MIDI bass pickup at some point, I don't really think that's the direction I would want to go.
My father always defined my gender to my brothers. He'd say, 'This is your sister; you must take care of her.'
Don't be limited by the expectations of others. You can always be better and do more.
The only reason I've been so critical of hip-hop is because I've always been aware of the effect that it has, and the reflection that it gives of the African-American community.
It is always possible to improve.
I've always felt that there's a Catskills comic who lives in my head and is constantly trying to get out. There's all these jokes that have been passed down from Jewish generation to Jewish generation, which I love but which I've always made fun of.
I was always one who was clowning around in school and getting in trouble.
The older you get the stronger the wind gets - and it's always in your face.
I had always been interested in politics. I had assumed, for a variety of - well, for two reasons, being Jewish and being gay back in the late '50s, early '60s - that I would never be elected or anything, but I would participate as an activist.
I have never fallen in love with my own voice, but I've always had an attraction for it.
I'm not the world's best mother, though kids always assume I must be.
The one thing you've gotta do is that you need to always do the best you can do, no matter what the given situation, no matter what comes up against you. You do the best you can do, and you never give up. Never quit.
I've always been obsessed by shoes as one of the main accessory of my outfit, from the classic styles to the more eccentric and of every range of price.
I always felt that anorexia was the form of breakdown most readily available to adolescent girls.
But the working I would always want to do.
