I've always been really artistic. I went to an all-girls' private Catholic school, and one of their biggest things was musical theater. I became obsessed with that.
My goal has always been to try to live up to every ounce of my potential. For me, that means working with the best people and working with the best material.
In acting, you can always grow and get better - even if you think you're at your limit.
I'm always creative.
I have learned that I am not built for conflict or controversy. I have also learned that, in all my life, I have never chosen a story. The story has always chosen me.
Poetry, even when apparently most fantastic, is always a revolt against artifice, a revolt, in a sense, against actuality.
When the tyrant has disposed of foreign enemies by conquest or treaty, and there is nothing more to fear from them, then he is always stirring up some war or other, in order that the people may require a leader.
What do we tell our children? Haste makes waste. Look before you leap. Stop and think. Don't judge a book by its cover. We believe that we are always better off gathering as much information as possible and spending as much time as possible in deliberation.
Throughout the day, I'm always thinking about 500, the team, and how we can do things harder/better/faster/stronger.
I have always thought of myself as a performer first and way down the line as a recording artist.
It's always just a great thing to see your kids connecting and you see the different stages.
I love my body. And, I'm always working out. I'm an exercise freak, be it cardio, weights, t'ai chi or yoga.
Getting plenty of sleep is always great. It really is. I have a girlfriend who's sending me a slant board.
I always wanted to experience what performance would be like without the fourth wall, so I formed a company in Australia, and we did avant-garde theater, playing with gender norms, conversations about race - we just had a box of issues that we wanted to subvert with our stories, with dance.
I don't think so, in so far as I always aspired to play the way I do now but just couldn't get the sounds out always due to technical limitations - now I can pretty much play what I hear in realtime.
At Spago, we make all of our pasta from scratch with egg yolks, so I'm always looking for new ways to play with egg whites.
Being stuck in airports, you always end up buying perfume and sunglasses.
The Korean war has always been an unpopular war among the American people.
MTV has always been about redefining itself.
It was always disappointing to see that what I could really master in terms of form boiled down to so little.
I love taking pictures. I'm always the one with the camera!
I have always argued that change becomes stressful and overwhelming only when you've lost any sense of the constancy of your life. You need firm ground to stand on. From there, you can deal with that change.
I never, ever had it in my mind that I wanted to be in the record industry, because I still contend that the record industry is an insidious affair. It's this terrible collision between art and commerce, and it will always be that way.
The misconception is that standup comics are always on. I don't know any really funny comics that are annoying and constantly trying to be funny all the time.
It is a nonsense to me when people come along and tell me not to be pessimistic; or that culture has always been going to the bad. Well, yes, it has, and it is an author's job to point it out.
I've always believed in challenging Republicans where they think they are strongest.
A mistake is always forgivable, rarely excusable and always unacceptable.
No theory changes what it is a theory about; man remains what he has always been.
It's always a little mind-boggling to realize that these famous actors know who I am.
Pragmatism is not always a good thing. Experience is not always a good thing.
I don't typically have a social life, I don't have a family, and I will stay up all night, every night, for days on end, to solve something that I think is solvable. And it's very frustrating sometimes, because I know that I'm like that, and it's not always a positive result.
I didn't mind being in school. But I was usually uninspired and always late. I did what I had to, but not more.
I've always thought live albums were cop-outs.
I grew up in Manchester in a big Irish family - there are seven of us in all - so my life has always been about role-playing, about doing anything for a laugh. I'm always joking about; that's the way I am.
I always thought George Bush was more oblivious than mean, but oblivious can quickly go to mean.
Much historical fiction that centers on real people has always been deficient in information, lacking in craft and empty in affect.
