I want to carry in my heart forever the key word of the Olympics - 'passion.'
Whatever you do, you do out of a passion.
I consider myself a progressive. I have a passion for people who work. To me, this is about forward looking versus backward looking. Ideological gradations are the wrong way to look at it.
Movies are my bread and butter and my inherent passion.
The only passion that guides me is for the truth... I look at everything from this point of view.
My studio's passion is improving the public experience of cities for everyone.
I bring a lot of energy and passion to what I do. Plus, I've had some weird feats of superhuman strength!
Dancing has always been a passion for me, one that I will probably never be rid of.
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.
We have met our passion to be ambition to grow our market share significantly in North America. Motorola helps address two other priority markets for us - the acquisition has enabled us to become the No. 1 foreign vendor in Japan. It also gives us an increased market share with China Mobile in China.
Almost any job can make us better human beings if we do it with passion.
For most people, it's easy to be passionate about things that are working out, and that distorts our impression of the importance of passion. I've been involved in several dozen business ventures over the course of my life, and each one made me excited at the start. You might even call it passion.
Producing is so exciting because you can enable things to happen, whether it's like discovering a filmmaker who you're taking a chance on, protecting a battle and driving home at the end of the day just going, 'I'm so glad I stayed late at work and fought hard for that. Had my passion. Won that battle.'
I learnt that if I want to make any difference, or changes to my world, then I've got to be involved. We need passion - that's how things change.
It's hard to teach passionately about something that you don't have a passion for.
I'm pretty grounded on my own passion - writing books, you know, doing programs, speaking around the country. And I love what I do.
Acting has always been my passion and will remain so.
I don't have a burning passion to live in America per se but I would certainly like to work there.
I look at composers and conductors, anybody involved in music or writing or art in general; they got more done as they got older. If I can, I'll be one of those people because what I do is my passion.
What we reliably find is that people's perseverance scores are actually higher than their passion scores, and I think it really does get to the fact that working hard is hard, but maybe finding your passion is even more difficult.
I think anyone who has a passion for what they love to do, and who pursue it, is inspirational for me.
Hacking was the only entertainment that would occupy my mind - like a huge video game, but with real consequences. I could have evaded the FBI a lot longer if I had been able to control my passion for hacking.
I think people hear and feel the genuine nature of my passion for the causes. Specifically, with the non-profit in Uganda, my mother is the president, and she was an African politics professor for almost 50 years, so I think people know that I align myself with people who know what they're talking about.
We live in a world where people think that finding a passion is so rare that if you find one you're the luckiest person on the planet, and the possibility of finding two is just bizarre. It isn't. We have multiple passions.
The art market was very different before the mid-1980s: then, art was all about passion, whereas now it's become a commodity.
I think the fun of following the movie box office and stocks is very similar to the fun of sports - all three combine passion and unpredictability.
I feel like not only are 'Parenthood' fans passionate, but that passion has grown over the run of the show and people got more invested as the show has gone on. That really does help keep shows on the air.
I majored in elementary education, and I have a passion for kids.
Sport is my passion but I have a way to go.
My passion is my family and the world of fashion.
I'm extremely lucky that my passion - making and creating - is also my career.
For some people, you know, Garrison Keillor, Rush Limbaugh, really the stars, they've got a passion. They eat, drink and breathe radio, and I'm not like that. I used to think I wanted to be. But I need to be away from it, too, and that's the difference, I think.
People are drawn to preaching that is passionate and offered with conviction. Passion comes when the preacher has spent significant time with the text, and when God has spoken through the text in a way that addresses the preacher's life first.
I have been lucky to meet some incredible people who do not possess what you would traditionally class as power, but through their charisma, passion, and strength of character, they are able to achieve things that 'richer or more powerful people' could only dream of.
If a founder has passion and innovation, he needs to be supported. I am more intuitive than a numbers person, and I recognise that not all investments are going to be positive. Some may fail, and some may have problems for other reasons. That is life.
No writer besides Shakespeare has created more memorable characters attached to vices and virtues. In even their least sympathetic characters, one senses a kind of helplessness to passion quivering between the poles of good and evil.
