I got on the scale and I weighed around 203. I'm only 5'7. I was about to turn 30, and I wasn't active anymore. So I started working with a nutritionist and a trainer. I played basketball twice a week. And soon it all just became a habit for me. I became addicted to something good for a change.
In bringing the subject of religious oppression to a wider audience, I didn't just want to kick the Catholic Church but to poke a finger in the throat of theocracy and to let it be known that people shouldn't tolerate this anymore.
Now I'm a wife and a mother of two. It's a really different role. I always referred to No Doubt as a marriage, because that's what it's like to be together for so long and go through what we've been through. I can't really have that relationship with them anymore.
I just don't feel comfortable anymore with the kind of attention that I'm getting. It's purely the numbers of people that want a bit of the Cure or want a bit of me.
But you come to a point in your life when you can't pull the trigger anymore.
So much is made about the beginnings of ballet careers, the rosebud, and then once the petals and leaves start falling off, is it beautiful anymore? Some people think it is; some people don't. The expectation is to focus on the very beautiful parts, not the ending.
L.A. really doesn't feel like home to me anymore.
People aren't able to make decisions anymore because there's too many choices within that decision.
Lob City doesn't exist anymore. Lob City is done.
I don't think that I could fit into the costume anymore.
Humor has become so cliche and boring that nothing's funny anymore unless it involves something totally disgusting that offends somebody or makes them feel really uncomfortable.
So we want an Islamic state where Islamic law is not just in the books but enforced, and enforced with determination. There is no space and no room for democratic consultation. The Shariah is set and fixed, so why do we need to discuss it anymore? Just implement it!
I was brought up a very strict Catholic and I don't practice anymore or anything.
You have to try and do everything to show your best qualities; otherwise, you will not be here anymore.
Almost nobody believes anymore that infants are insensate blobs. It seems both mad and evil to deny experience and feeling to a laughing, gurgling creature.
I just don't do anything fun anymore. But, that's dying, isn't it? I mean, you die in stages, right? You let things go in pieces.
At some point, the pride has to be a part of the whole day-to-day oeuvre. It's part of who you are and doesn't need to be discussed anymore.
I was a very self-righteous 15-25 year old. Anyway, I wake up every morning and thank God I'm not a kid anymore.
I want to do a western. Nobody does westerns anymore.
It is hard, though, 'cos record labels love to boss you around. I won't let them do that anymore.
There are still some pieces that aren't being used, like the white-space bands between TV channels. With digital broadcasting, those buffers aren't needed anymore. The wireless telcos want to lease them, while the TV industry wants to maintain the status quo. Either decision would be a mistake.
I'm not going to say that a very young Charlie Weber is without his indiscretions. But not anymore; I'm way past those days.
'Saturday Night Live' will always be this amazing, powerful behemoth, but it's also not the only thing happening in comedy anymore.
I've always thrown myself into different kinds of experiences, sometimes into really bad things. But, you grow up. You become more of a woman and you know yourself. I think knowing yourself is a wonderful thing especially when you're in your 40s and you're kind of in your skin. Life is not so confusing anymore.
Reproductive choice has to be straightened out. There will never be a woman of means without choice anymore. That just seems to me so obvious. The states that changed their abortion laws before Roe are not going to change back. So we have a policy that only affects poor women, and it can never be otherwise.
Over the years all these vampire movies have come out and nobody looks like a vampire anymore.
I used to believe in one true soul mate, but not anymore. I believe you can have a few.
Digital television, satellite radio, videogames, iPods - so much media. Do books even matter anymore?
But, number one, I think traditional noir doesn't work in contemporary storytelling because we don't live in that world anymore.
It's a wonderful side effect of what we're doing, to give someone the strength to come out of the closet to their family, or simply present themselves aesthetically in a way they feel happy with, whether or not their friends are going to be allowed to like them anymore.
I don't think people will ever forget I was an 'Angel', anymore than they'll forget Sally Field was 'The Flying Nun.'
I'm not trying to make myself look like a girl because I'm not a girl anymore. I'm very happy about being a grown woman.
The history of our country is cruel. We have to face those issues or, should I say, we had to. Not anymore I hope, because we are going in the right direction, and we are ready to forgive, ready to move on.
I don't really have any ditties left in me anymore.
No wedding bells for me anymore. I've been happily married to my profession for years.
I don't do concept records anymore - I just prefer doing good songs.
