I always sent my mother all these huge books I made. When my mother died, I was cleaning her cupboard, and these big books were only 20 pages long.
A huge part of youth is how you behave: I'm always looking for fun and anything that makes me feel alive - that in itself keeps me feeling young.
Philadelphia is kind of like a Mecca for professional wrestling, especially the old ECW Arena down in South Philly. That's the place I always wanted to wrestle growing up, and I got that opportunity when I worked with Ring of Honor.
I've always loved fast vehicles and looking at interesting cars.
I've always wanted to do a lot of things.
Every week, it's always something memorable.
When I saw the 2010 Games and speed skating, I had a change of heart. I had always dreamed of being an Olympian, and something clicked inside of me. I knew I had to move to Salt Lake City and make this dream a reality.
Celebrities are the fodder of much of the media business, so they're always interested in making you seem provocative when you're not, or trying to bring you some sort of embarrassment by revealing something you'd rather not have revealed. That's the downside of celebrity.
Finding ballet gave me passion for the first time in my life. I was always very shy and just wanted to fit in; I never daydreamed about what I wanted to be when I grew up. But dancing gave me a connection to my personality that made me grow.
To make films, it always begins with two words: what and how. First of all, you have to find a story, or what are you going to tell? And you have to find a way to tell it visually.
There's no limit to how complicated things can get, on account of one thing always leading to another.
It's always easy to look at either the politics of division or fear as effective tools in politics, but ultimately, even though they can be effective tools to help you get elected, they hinder your ability to actually get the job of building a better future for this country, for this community, done.
Women in pro-ams are always telling me about all the business deals they've struck on the golf course playing with their male work colleagues.
I always tell myself that when you're playing a character, pretend they're on trial and you're giving the best witness of their life. You really need to think about every element of the character and represent them properly, as if they were a real person. You want to give 100 percent of what they're worth and what they deserve as people.

Character is always known. Thefts never enrich; alms never impoverish; murder will speak out of stone walls.
I was always attracted and repelled by the idea of being a writer.

Music is always going to be only as sophisticated as the culture that consumes it.
I've always sort of thought that politics was a high and noble calling and a good thing to do.
With me, everybody I meet always has a clean slate.
I'm not a runner, and I always dreamed about just throwing on my sneakers and really knocking everyone's socks off with my joy of traversing the world by foot.
I know that in life there will be sickness, devastation, disappointments, heartache - it's a given. What's not a given is the way you choose to get through it all. If you look hard enough, you can always find the bright side.
I used to tell moms that for the sake of their well-being they had to put themselves first. But I know now that's not always possible.
My family was always supportive when I decided that I wanted to pursue this thing called acting.
I've always been aware that the image you patiently construct for an entire career can be ruined in a minute. It scares you a bit, but that's the way things are.
You make up a character, there's always gonna be parts of you that, like it or not, shine through.
With songs, I've always pledged to be honest. I write my songs because I've lived them.
