Jackie had a keen eye for talent, and like an elephant never forgot. And, he was always right on the mark.
When I wrote 'The Rozabal Line,' I had no preconceived notions of what a commercial bestseller should be. I have always viewed 'The Rozabal Line' as my first love and probably my best work. The fact, however, is that it is my least read work.
I love books; my suitcases are always full of them. Books and shoes. I read when I am sad, when I am happy, when I am nervous. My favourite British author is Jane Austen, and my favourite American one is John O'Hara.
A concert is always like a feast day to me.
My experience with 'Last Resort' is very different from most of the cast. While they are next to a mountain, I'm always within the four walls of my home.
I have always found women difficult. I don't really understand them. To begin with, few women tell the truth.
The mark of a true politician is that he is never at a loss for words because he is always half-expecting to be asked to make a speech.
I've always been super expressive, and I've always liked to express myself any way I can.
A cultural shift is not always an ideological one - or at least not always the one you imagine. Our norms are always evolving.
When I was a child, writing was the worst possible choice of a career in my family. My father had always identified himself as a writer to my mother when they met. When they met, he was writing this great novel, there was no doubt about it.
I always knew looking back on my tears would bring me laughter, but I never knew looking back on my laughter would make me cry.
The freshest moments in my films have always been with unknown actors.
My grandfather, who's still alive, has always been involved in art, antiques, and things like that. I think I learned so much from him.
There are more honest people and more good people than there are thieves and bad people. It's just always been that way.
At the time, I didn't know that bass would not be enough for me. I'm not a bass player because bass is always a background instrument even to this very day.
That's what my Dad always told me, on the ballot, they should always have a third choice, like none of the above, then if enough people picked that, they'd have to get new candidates.
Just as the wave cannot exist for itself, but is ever a part of the heaving surface of the ocean, so must I never live my life for itself, but always in the experience which is going on around me.
I always wanted to represent the natural, healthy girl, and I didn't care if it was cool or trendy to look like you hadn't eaten in two weeks.
I've always been drawn to solitude, felt a kind of luxurious relief in its self-generated pace and rhythms.
What they can expect always is that they're going to be made to think.
I'm always going to use music, use culture as a tool to engage people to have this dialog, to enable others. That's very important.
The gateways to wisdom and learning are always open, and more and more I am choosing to walk through them. Barriers, blocks, obstacles, and problems are personal teachers giving me the opportunity to move out of the past and into the Totality of Possibilities.
There is always drama and there will always be drama, but its the way its presented in my head that makes it so interesting. Everyone gets their time in the middle of the drama.
Race in America has always centered on our mutual agreement not to see each other. White or non-white. Black or non-black. Mongoloid, Hindoo. We've always bought into to the crudest, humanity-denying forms of sorting.
I went to school in New York and grew up in and out of New York. I love it, and I miss it, and every time I go back, I think, 'Why am I in Germany?' I do know that my career is really important to me, and in Germany, they've always been so much more supportive than my previous engagements in the dance world.
Whether we knew many who died on September 11 or personally knew none, we all lost something on that day. Innocence. Security. A trust that our homeland would always be safe.
The best thing I ever learned from my dad was he knew he wasn't the best of singers, but he always knew he was a great entertainer, and I always thought that was a good concept to bring along, that ultimately acting is an entertainment art and you have to be aware of the fact that you want people to be excited to be watching you.
I'm not the best singer in the world, but the albums have always been personal. They're stories about me and what I'm going through.
Friendship is almost always the union of a part of one mind with the part of another; people are friends in spots.
I'm a perfectionist, and I always think that I can do better what I have done, even if it's good.
I just never subscribed to the theory that at age 55, you fall off the face of the earth on the Tour. I always felt that was too young of an age for that.
I've always liked funk and rock and everything.
I always wrote. I wrote from when I was 12. That was therapeutic for me in those days. I wrote things to get them out of feeling them, and onto paper. So writing in a way saved me, kept me company. I did the traditional thing with falling in love with words, reading books and underlining lines I liked and words I didn't know.
Film is not a national business. It's international. And its centre will always be Hollywood.
In all the music that deals with experimental repetition, drum and bass, dub, various kinds of house music, there's always been a quality of atmosphere and ambience.
Judaism to me, as badly as I practiced it, what I've always loved about it was its total embrace of complexity, its admission of unknowability.
