Acting was something I always wanted to try. I just didn't know how, or I didn't know when the door was gonna be open for me to try it. But it finally opened up for me when I did 'Turn It Up', and ever since then I've been in love with doing films.
You always have to look for something beautiful wherever you go.
Life always rides in strength to victory, not through internationalism... but only through the direct responsibility of the individual.
I've always wanted to model and act. My first break came to me when I was at a parlour to get a haircut. The salon owner asked me if I would model for them.
I've always considered myself a filmmaker who writes stuff for himself to do.
I always try to keep a pretty conservative demeanor on the court.
I don't think I'd want to concentrate on just acting because I love music, and things are going really well, so I think I will always continue to make music.
I think the most harmful belief passed on to me - not always directly - was the belief that whatever I did as a Negro, however much we Negroes achieved, despite the presence of some enlightened whites, white society as a whole enjoyed being racists in the secret core of their being and would never, ever give that up.
There are advantages to being a star though - you can always get a table in a full restaurant.
Behavior which appears superficially correct but is intrinsically corrupt always irritates those who see below the surface.
I barely watch TV. Somehow, I make it work with just the Internet. On TV, there's always so much crap, and you have to flip around.
I want to let my fans get to know a little about me. I'm very thankful for everything they've done for me so, of course, I'm going to let them into my world a bit. But I really am a very private person, and I love kepping my life to myself - that's how I've always been.
There is always a delightful sense of movement, vibration and life.
I feel that L.A. has not always been my strongest base for support. That can be for various reasons.
Coming out of the closet doesn't always mean liberation.
Life is always going to be stranger than fiction, because fiction has to be convincing, and life doesn't.
But in my heart of hearts, this is the kind of thing... this is what everyone is struggling with in their lives - relationships and family. To me, it's always an interesting area to mine. I'm drawn to it.
I'm very aware that after you've played Cleopatra, there's not a lot that can top that in this sphere, so it means that I want to almost change the sphere I work in rather completely because I will always be comparing it to Cleopatra.
I have always believed helping your fellow man is profitable in every sense, personally and bottom line.
I've always felt that the comic strip medium stands equally beside all the other story telling mediums: novels, movies, stage plays, opera, you know, you name it.
I always admired my father because he was a man that never put on any airs, you know. And I always tried to be that kind of person.
The University of South Carolina has always played a role in my life and the intellectual life of South Carolina.
The participation in European elections was always not very exciting. People are very interested in European issues, but they don't see the person who is representing Europe.
Things are not always as they seem.
Acting was always my passion, even before music, so I knew I was always heading down that path.
I always knew I was going to make it, without doubt.
I always do book signings with the same blue pen. That way, if I add a personalised message to a book I've already signed, it'll be in the same colour as my signature.
I always think about which blood drive was going on in Georgia that day when that husband or mom or school teacher rolled up their sleeve and actually gave me a second chance at life. It's the ultimate gift of life, and I'm the one who was on the other end.
There will always be a father.
I always wear a pair of colored jeans and fun boots. I have a really cute pair of stars-and-stripes Converse, and I love wearing all my bright Nike shoes.
My plays are always pushing towards cinema anyway. They're down and dirty, real and more fun.
It's funny: when people always talk about the importance of role models, I used to think that was so exaggerated, but as I get older, I start to realize I don't feel that way so much anymore. If you see somebody like you who's doing something, an older version of what you are, it does make you feel like it's more possible.
I've always thought that having an attractive free agent is better than a guy who was picked in the seventh round.
I'm always on the phone because I'm usually not with the people I want to be with.
I have always been far more interested in sound than technique, and how sounds work together, how they can be layered. I think electronic music, in its infancy anyway, allowed us to create music in a way that hadn't really been possible before. It created a new kind of musician.
I never wanted to be like anyone growing up. It's always been about the enjoyment, and I've just never wanted to imitate anyone.
