Now and then, I had moments of greatness, but I never knew how to duplicate it consistently.
Of all the haunting moments of motherhood, few rank with hearing your own words come out of your daughter's mouth.
I think for all of us, as we age, there are always a few moments when you are shocked.
The moments we have behind us, you won't be able to see again. We're only responsible for what we live in right now.
I think we all get into situations where we don't know how to proceed, and those are really the scariest moments that we have, but that's also what makes us 'grow up' and learn a lot about each other.
In its more listless moments, 'Pharaoh's Army' seems a ramshackle collection of memories not overly concerned with telling a larger story.
The most beautiful things are not associated with money; they are memories and moments. If you don't celebrate those, they can pass you by.
Character is that sum total of moments we can't explain.
The death of Churchill at 90 was one of those watershed moments in which the obituary rises to a special calling beyond the sharing of remembered times. It gave an older generation a rare opportunity to explain something of itself to its children.
I definitely had those moments, like any actor, when you get anxious and think, 'When am I going to work again?' But I would feel that way even when I had every offer in the world coming to me. Then I became a father and I felt a little more of the anxiety that came with the responsibility of being a parent.
One of life's most painful moments comes when we must admit that we didn't do our homework, that we are not prepared.
Some moments it feels longer, other moments it feels like it's flown by; you can't believe you've done it all that time... Overall, you have a strong sense for the full spectrum that you've sort of traveled.
You have to grab moments when they happen. I like to improvise and ad lib.
There's no life without humour. It can make the wonderful moments of life truly glorious, and it can make tragic moments bearable.
It's those moments, those odd moments that you look for and sometimes by creating this kind of loose atmosphere you find those little moments that somehow mean a lot to an audience when they really register right.
I did stand-up for a long time, and I did classical theater. As much time as you could spend on a stage will always inform you and your job, as you evolve. I feel the freedom of being able to find comedy in the darkest moments because it makes it way more interesting, I think.
I had never done Shakespeare before, but I don't think you can be an actor and not do it. There were moments when I thought, I'm just not going to be able to pull this off.
I'm not geeky but I have my geeky, corky moments, and then I've got some aspects of cool in me, I guess.
One of the best moments of the Obama presidency was the passage of the Affordable Care Act.
Except for certain moments - when cells are dividing, for instance - chromosomes don't form compact, countable bodies inside cells. Instead, they unravel and flop about, which makes counting chromosomes a bit like counting strands of ramen in a bowl.
One of my proudest moments in life was earning the valedictorian medal in high school. I worked so hard for it!
I have my moments. Ever since I was a boy, I never was someone who was at ease with happiness. Too often I embrace introspection and self-doubt. I wish I could embrace the good things.
Probably one of the most surreal moments of my career was acting in front of Notre Dame with a mime.
I think one of the most humiliating moments of my life was putting on spandex, personally. It's always nice when four women pull you into spandex when you're in jockey shorts. Yeah.
This communication alone, by the comparison of the antagonisms, rivalries, movements which give birth to decisive moments, permits the evolution of the soul, whereby a man realizes himself on earth. It is impossible to be concerned with anything else in art.
I abandoned my second novel completely. Writing 'Kavalier & Clay,' I had several moments of utter collapse. Same with 'The Yiddish Policemen's Union.'
I think there's a lot projected on beautiful women, period. At least, maybe this is just my fear, but I do sometimes feel dismissed before I've even been allowed to participate. I have moments of feeling really wounded. But I am pretty optimistic, and I do enjoy a lot of my life.
The best moments can't be preconceived. I've spent a lot of time in editing rooms, and a scene can be technically perfect, with perfect delivery and facial expression and timing, and you remember all your lines, and it is dead.
When you're in office, there are tangible moments when you can see tangible successes.
While it's nice to appreciate the fashion world... what makes you happy are real relationships and the moments you share with loved ones.
Stay healthy, have fun with it, and embrace all the moments. Because anything can happen.
Happiness is nothing but temporary moments here and there - and I love those. But I would be bored out of my mind if I were happy all the time.
That's what I do and I enjoy even the hateful moments of a relationship where two people or four people come together to make a bigger mess than originally intended.
No mortal man, moreover is wise at all moments.
I just had one of those 'what the hell are we doing' moments.
Wrestling is different to me. As I talk to other wrestlers, wrestling seems a little different to me than it does to a lot of them. To me, it's about an artistic performance and about honing my artistic performance in pursuit of these minute moments of perfection. These little encapsulations. And none of them are ever perfect.
