I wanted nothing less than to be a fiction writer when I was a kid. If you had told me I would be an artist or novelist when I grew up, I would have laughed in your face.
Every parent is at some time the father of the unreturned prodigal, with nothing to do but keep his house open to hope.
Remove grace, and you have nothing whereby to be saved. Remove free will and you have nothing that could be saved.
Something like 'Without a Paddle' does really well at the box office and I'm like, 'Oh, here we go.' In 'Without a Paddle' I'm the romantic lead - great! A comedy and that's what America wants. Then it did nothing for me and I went into kind-of a work abyss. I just didn't get another shot.
Frank Ocean is our modern-day Marvin Gaye. In our house, we have nothing but respect for him.
War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse.
I've been down there 6 times and there's nothing like Brazilian percussion.
I don't see any justification for the federal government owning land, other than the Statue of Liberty and maybe a few parks, maybe a few refuges. But to just own land to do nothing with it I think is a disservice to the Constitution.

If you're planning only to make money and nothing else, you'll be broke.
Nothing is insignificant in the history of a young community, and - above all - nothing seems impossible.
Art requires neither complaisance nor politeness; nothing but faith, faith and freedom.
The mechanical and social achievements of our day must not blind our eyes to the fact that, in all that relates to man, his nature and aspirations, we have added little or nothing to what has been so finely said by the great men of old.
Community service has taught me all kinds of skills and increased my confidence. You go out there and think on your feet, work with others and create something from nothing. That's what life's all about.
There is nothing that is so serious that you can't also see its comic side. Comedy is a way of talking about the most serious things.
There is nothing worth having that can be obtained by nuclear war - nothing material or ideological - no tradition that it can defend. It is utterly self-defeating.
Because I spent many years during my previous life as an academic researching game theory, some commentators rushed to presume that as Greece's new finance minister, I was busily devising bluffs, stratagems and outside options, struggling to improve upon a weak hand. Nothing could be further from the truth.
I don't know exactly what are you supposed to do when you retire. Lie on the couch and do nothing? I didn't want to do that.
Nothing lasts forever - not even your troubles.
I never had an easy time making friends in the past, for many reasons. I didn't go into therapy for nothing.
I'm the type to over-analyze everything. If I was to rob a house, I'd have a checklist to make sure nothing goes wrong.
In the name of feminism, we denied some essential aspects of our authentic selves.

Blessed are they who have nothing to say and who cannot be persuaded to say it.
Do awards change careers? Well, I haven't heard of many stories where that's the case. It's a fun excuse to meet colleagues and celebrate people who've done well that year in certain people's eyes, and it's nothing more than that.
Emotion is primarily about nothing and much of it remains about nothing to the end.
I do try and wear stuff by unknown designers, and I make sure I pay because if nothing else I have money.
Every man gets a narrower and narrower field of knowledge in which he must be an expert in order to compete with other people. The specialist knows more and more about less and less and finally knows everything about nothing.
Nothing can be more hurtful to the service, than the neglect of discipline; for that discipline, more than numbers, gives one army the superiority over another.
Nothing need be apprehended from this miserable adventurer.
There's nothing quite as powerful as people feeling they can have impact and make a difference. When you've got that going for you, I think it's a very powerful way to implement change.
There is nothing useless to men of sense.
I used to watch 'The Waltons' and sob because my family was nothing like that. We had a cruel sense of humor in my family.
My parents always told me that nothing was impossible.
My literary success meant nothing to me.
Hollywood looks to these young people now to say something to the world. I have nothing against that, I think a lot of people have things to say. But I think you need life experience.
