Some great people are leaders and others are more lucky, in the right place at the right time. I'd put myself in the latter category. But I'd never call myself a normal designer of anything.
Me, myself, personally, I like to keep myself private. I have never said I am a paragon of virtue, a model of morality. I simply do what I do.
I have never had problems sleeping the night before a race.
I got treated very badly in Texas. They don't treat beatniks too good in Texas. Port Arthur people thought I was a beatnik, though they'd never seen one and neither had I.
In my wildest dreams I never thought - well, I never thought I'd work.
I have never denied my background or my culture. I have taught my child to embrace her Mexican heritage, to love my first language, Spanish, to learn about Mexican history, music, folk art, food, and even the Mexican candy I grew up with.
That's why I believe that we must never fail to affirm that we are indeed one nation under God.
I had to overcome the name Rock. If I'd been as hip then as I am now, I would have never consented to be named Rock.
As a result of Title IX, and a new generation of parents who want their daughters to have the opportunities they never had, women's sports have arrived.
I never saw a play with my mother until I was 14, and then it was 'Hansel and Gretel.'
It's fantastic to strive towards a nice life where you eat nice organic food and your children go to a nice school and you can afford nice clothes and nice perfume and the hypoallergenic make-up. But there's never a day goes by, and I mean this from the bottom of my heart, that I don't think about where I'm from.
There's always going to be a ball up in the air, and what I try to do is make sure that ball is never the kids. If that means sacrificing a social event or having fewer work commitments, it's worth it.
We're never so vulnerable than when we trust someone - but paradoxically, if we cannot trust, neither can we find love or joy.
I would eat healthy at times and pig out at times. But I never had to go on a strict diet plan.
I've never made a secret of the fact that I'd have loved to have children.
I had never used the prefix 'Dr.' with my name, but when I started with NASA, I had to. Otherwise, I could not get past the secretaries.
During my 21 years of playing cricket, I have never been approached by anyone or offered a bribe.
A martyr can never cooperate with death, go to death in a way that they're not trying to escape.
Never make negative comments or spread rumors about anyone. It depreciates their reputation and yours.
It seems like the more I live, the more I realize that saying 'yes' is almost never a mistake. If you say no, it might feel safe, but then you end up going nowhere.
I'm not funny. Never have been and, as far as I can tell, I never will be.
It's nice to win. I'll never win again. I may have to take up golf - take on Tiger.
I've never thought I wanted to quit in my research. I would always fail in experiments, which I did at least three times a day.
Writing never came naturally and I still have to force my hand to do it.
I had never seen much of Star Trek, or any other science fiction, before I was cast. But Seven's wonderful.
Coming from New Zealand, all the music I listen to is not made by New Zealanders. People never come to New Zealand to play a show because it's in the middle of nowhere.
I often get letters, quite frequently, from people who say how they like the programmes a lot, but I never give credit to the almighty power that created nature.
It's true, you can never eat a pet you name. And anyway, it would be like a ventriloquist eating his dummy.
I dislike literary jargon and never use it. Criticism has only one function and that is to help readers read and understand literature. It is not a science, it is an aid to art.
Never forget what a person says to you when they are angry.
I never had that star aura.
Then there is a still higher type of courage - the courage to brave pain, to live with it, to never let others know of it and to still find joy in life; to wake up in the morning with an enthusiasm for the day ahead.
I want to do more. I'm never satisfied with what I've done.
Growing up, politics never trickled down to the areas we come from. But people from Obama's camp, and Obama himself, reached out to me and asked for my help on the campaign. We've sat and had dinner, and we've spoken on the phone. He's a very sharp guy. Very charming. Very cool.
I am flirtatious by nature, but I have never hurt anyone.
I never panic when I get a wasp at my ear. As soon as you strike out, they'll sting you. So just stay cool.
