I just had a crazy, wild imagination all my life, and science fiction is the greatest outlet for me.
I just work - however people feel about it, I mean, at the end of the day, if I'm waiting for accolades, I could be waiting all my life, but I don't need that stuff to validate me. I just do what makes me happy.
I was raised in the Washington household of my grandfather Senator Thomas P. Gore of Oklahoma, and have known politicians intimately all my life.
I've been a story-teller all my life but I realized it only recently.
All my life, I have never found a person who really loved this world. Every person hates the world, how he is.
I simply loved all my life; loved is too strong a word, but I had a tremendous sentiment, partly conditioned, of course, by the reality of where I grew up, for the spirit of individualism, for the idea of your being on your own in a big way.
I don't feel I've arrived home until I get on the beach. All my life, the theater of the sea has been a very strong thing.
My father was a military attache, so I've been traveling all my life.
All my life I have been taught to take the high road and never to dignify salacious or false accusations and I have been taught never, never to lie.
All my life, I have judged my worth by how much I have been loved by a man. It's so with a lot of women, that their self-esteem is measured by how much they are loved by a man, their partner, their boyfriend or maybe their husband. In my case, it may be because I grew up without my father.
All my life I've been taught how to die, but no one ever taught me how to grow old.
I know my body. What happened is that I got so caught up in the applause I forgot how I should dance. All my life I've been what others wanted - in dancing and in life. Now I'm doing it my way.
I thought I was gonna be in the minimum-wage working world all my life.
All my life, I have been a positive thinker... I have always been able to survive by telling myself that no matter how bad things are, they will one day be better. And that out of every event - no matter how tragic - one can always find a way to survive and even, perhaps, to be a little bit happy.
I've been dealing with politicians all my life. All my life. And I've always gotten them to do what I need them to do.
I've been writing songs all my life. My mom said I wrote my first song when I was two.
I've been painting all my life, and I'm serious about it. I use it as more or less an outlet.
When the other kids started calling me nicknames, I knew everything was all right. I have a pretty big mouth, so they hit on that and began calling me Gatemouth or Satchelmouth, and that Satchelmouth has stuck to me all my life, except that now it's been made into 'Satchmo' - 'Satchmo' Armstrong.
I loved comedy all my life. I think it's a real powerful art form.
Most of our designs are developed long before there is a practical possibility of carrying them out. I do that on purpose and have done it all my life. I do it when I am interested in something.
All my life, Americans have been accustomed to thinking of theirs as 'the richest, freest' country in the world. By most measurements, it was long a contender for that honor, and - among the larger countries, if equal weight were given to wealth and indices of freedom - probably did deserve to be so described.
All my life I've tried to hide my height. I was taller than everybody else and stood out, so I would slouch and try to hide it.
I've been a massive obsessive about jazz singers all my life.
