My kind of composing is more like the work of a gardener. The gardener takes his seeds and scatters them, knowing what he is planting but not quite what will grow where and when - and he won't necessarily be able to reproduce it again afterwards either.
Everyone lives under their rocks in L.A., so it takes a long time to find your lane.
If a student takes a Stanford computer class and a Princeton business class, it shows they are motivated and have skills. We know it has helped employees get better jobs.
It's not about guys getting minutes or scoring 20 points or getting playing time. To me, it's about if you've got to make one 3-pointer to win that championship, we need you to make that one 3-pointer. Whatever it takes.
We cannot afford to balance the budget on the backs of America's middle class and seniors and must do what it takes to strengthen Social Security and Medicare, including enabling the government to negotiate the price of prescription drugs.
It takes both courage and talent to stand up in front of fellow human beings and make them crack a smile, and at the same time keep it clean.
'Punk rock' is a word used by dilettantes and heartless manipulators about music that takes up the energies, the bodies, the hearts, the souls, the time and the minds of young men who give everything they have to it.
There's no deadline that a movie has to be made by. We have to believe that we have served the responsibility, however long it takes us to get to that point.
There is lots of my work that takes place behind closed doors that is not ever seen.
I've always really liked theater. It fascinated me. You can create a reality and get people involved in that reality. It takes place in real time.
I have to hold a meeting with the rising generation every evening, and that takes time. Henry can say, 'Twinkle, twinkle,' all himself, and Edward can repeat it after his father! Giants of genius! Paragons of erudition!
In my experience, divorce takes you out for about 10 years, but you hear people talk about it lightly. The same with depression. You only have to have one good breakdown before you realize you need help. It's pretty frightening.
The secret of concentration is the secret of self-discovery. You reach inside yourself to discover your personal resources, and what it takes to match them to the challenge.
Like brown rice, black rice is unmilled, and it is the dark outer husk that makes it so nutty and chewy. It's also why it takes longer to cook than many other rices.
When you're watching people in non-title fights making four times the amount of money that a champion makes, it takes away the flavor of being a champion.
I appreciate the support and anyone who takes up a position on my behalf. Especially in matches, this feeling that there are people behind you, gives me a lot of strength.
If something inconveniences my children too much or takes me away from them, I won't do it.
I'd say people do need some help with poetry because I think poetry just helps takes us to places that Americans aren't always accustomed to going.
Cultural confinement takes place when a curator imposes his own limits on an art exhibition, rather than asking an artist to set his limits.
Some people feel stronger in their 30s. I'm 34. I've noticed I do feel stronger now than when I was 24. But I'm also more sore in the mornings. If I have a bump or a bruise from practice, it takes me a little bit more than just an ice bath to get rid of it. At the end of the week, my body's ready for a day off.
I guess that's just the life of an inventor: what people do with your ideas takes you totally by surprise.
Bitcoin is a peer-to-peer, decentralized form of money, as durable as the Internet itself. Remember, the Internet - or DARPA, as it was originally called - was created as a fail-safe, global network with no 'single point of failure.' If one part goes down, data takes another route, and nothing is lost.
I find it very endearing when a girl is dorky because it takes a very brave person to act that way in front of people. And in every girl that I've been attracted to, I recognize the dorkiness about her because I think I have some in me. That makes me feel a lot more comfortable with her.
If I could find a way to make a film that takes you into the mind of a fighter, where you have 36 minutes of combat with so many different emotions, so many highs and lows, so many obstacles to overcome, I'd do that.
In everyday things the law of sacrifice takes the form of positive duty.
We will certainly see teachers, journalists, artists and poets in space. Whatever it takes to the be the best is what it will take to get you into space.
I don't want to be known as the guy who always takes his shirt off... I've done a lot of photo shoots lately for the press coming up with 'Immortals' and 'Breaking Dawn,' and every photographer wants to get the topless shot. We've really had to be choosy and not do that for every magazine. I've actually been trying to keep my clothes on more.
He's so slow that he takes an hour and a half to watch 60 Minutes.
I just go where the guitar takes me.
I would like somebody confident who takes care of his business, is strong, healthy. Somebody that loves their family and treats their friends right - and treats me right.
You know when you've found a part that you want to play. You know it because the part takes you over. It sits in the script waiting for you to play him.
My father has been by my side since I was little. He takes care of things, my finances and my family.
I have a very active social life. It may look glamorous, and it is, but it also takes an enormous amount of time.
In Hong Kong, particularly, we craft this art for decades. The action choreographer actually is the action director. He takes over and he choreographs with - by himself or with his team, and place the camera where he feels cinematic effect to bring out that choreography.
Depression is so exhausting - it takes up so much of your time and energy - and silence about it, it really does make the depression worse.
Whenever you're coming off a serious injury, it takes time to heal.
