I like to take writing retreats within a day's drive of home. Less travel time means more time for writing, which is the name of the game here.
I take every role seriously. Personally, I never look at any role as Michael White. I've done that my entire life.
It is not acceptable that we continue to see thousands of acres burn because of forest fires, because of poor management on our forests, big kill, and we have these catastrophic situations take place when we are not able to take action.
I've made a lot of mistakes. I've bonded with some people who use you, and some people that take advantage of you.
The rare opportunity of writing music for a movie about the making of 'Mary Poppins' was impossible to ignore. The fact that it could provide emotional content in relief of the struggles that the Sherman brothers and Walt Disney endured was reason enough to take on the challenge.
Everything TSA does is reactionary - first they ban the box cutters, then of course you have to take your shoes off, then you have to take the liquids out, now we have to be patted down in our private areas because of the diaper bomber.
If you take a more Darwinian point of view the dynamics of the universe are such that as the universe evolved in time, complex systems arose out of the natural dynamics of the universe.
My knowledge and thirst for knowledge has no expiration date... It goes until I'm dead. I will be learning and studying from youth, as well as people older than me... Having degrees as a person of color in this country is the one thing that can't nobody take away from me.
Some extremists take elements of the sacred scriptures out of context.
Always take hold of things by the smooth handle.
It is an obvious fact that when an age is torn loose from its moorings and everyone is to some degree thrown on his own, most people can take steps to find and realize themselves.
Video games are engineered now, but the step I am trying to take, no one can engineer.
Often the difference between a successful man and a failure is not one's better abilities or ideas, but the courage that one has to bet on his ideas, to take a calculated risk, and to act.
He has spent his life best who has enjoyed it most. God will take care that we do not enjoy it any more than is good for us.
I have never written a book about my life, despite being offered purses of gold. I made 'Boxes' because I wanted to make a sincere depiction of a daughter who has lost her father, or the jealousy one can feel towards a daughter who has become more beautiful than you and whose stepfather starts to take her shopping.
But while we can never predict where events will take us or the unavoidable bills we will have to pay as a consequence, we must confront the ghastly truth of Labour's legacy.
Nor, in our own country, must we fail to take notice of the establishment of School Boards.
They're after one world religion and one world government. That's why they've attacked the Catholic Church so strongly, to ultimately take control over it by their doctrine.
I just went to your typical public schools, and my dad would take us to the movies every week, or he'd buy scalped tickets to San Antonio Spurs games. I remember I was four or five years old and my parents, who were very young, took us to see The Police in Austin, and Iggy Pop opened.
We will not go. The only way to get us there is to come in here with clubs and knock us on the head, and drag us out and take us down there dead.
A song must move the story ahead. A song must take the place of dialogue. If a song halts the show, pushes it back, stalls it, the audience won't buy it; they'll be unhappy.
Liberating Iraq from a legacy of violence and putting it on the path to peace and prosperity will take time.
One should take writers' valuations of their own work with a pinch of salt: they are likely to rank them differently tomorrow.
To take wine into our mouths is to savor a droplet of the river of human history.
Empty-brained triflers who have never tried to think, who take their creed as they take their fashions, speak of atheism as the outcome of foul life and vicious desires.
I've been a Republican since age 13, when we got our first television set, and I saw the Republican National Convention on television. And President Eisenhower was talking about personal responsibility, about opening the door for opportunity and that people could really take care of themselves without a lot of government intrusions.
Read a ton. Take a workshop course so you learn to give and get criticism.
UTC is very well positioned to take advantage of 2 large megatrends: urbanization and the fast-growing commercial aerospace market.
Religion did not exist for the saving of souls but for the preservation and welfare of society, and in all that was necessary to this end every man had to take his part, or break with the domestic and political community to which he belonged.
I'm still really close with everyone at home and their parents - and their brothers and sisters. I was so, so, so lucky to grow up as part of a community and I don't take that for granted. I try very hard to stay part of it.
While the form of treachery varies slightly from case to case, liberals always manage to take the position that most undermines American security.
It's good to take a longer view and think, What would I really like to do if I had no limitations whatsoever?
It's not what you take when you leave this world behind you. It's what you leave behind you when you go.
When you are already in Detroit, you don't have to take a bus to get there.
This paper will no doubt be found interesting by those who take an interest in it.
We can never, ever say it enough: every woman - especially every young woman-has to take charge of her health... and do what's right for her!
