Cultural variety is always worth striving for, but must never precede the declaration of human rights.
I never considered myself a lucky person. I'm the most extraordinary pessimist. I truly am.
I never feel like I have to hang on to the music. I don't expect that the music will go away. Ideas are the only thing I can point to that are permanent and fixed.
My father owned pit bulls when I was young. He sometimes fought them. My brother and a lot of the men in my community owned pit bulls as well: sometimes they fought them for honor, never for money.
Issues are never simple. One thing I'm proud of is that very rarely will you hear me simplify the issues.
I never paint dreams or nightmares. I paint my own reality.
I seldom think about my limitations, and they never make me sad. Perhaps there is just a touch of yearning at times; but it is vague, like a breeze among flowers.
I'll never get a part in a huge action blockbuster.
There is a time to take counsel of your fears, and there is a time to never listen to any fear.
I've never worried about 'the reader' because there isn't one. There are thousands, and they all have strong opinions, from 'Magician' was the best ever,' and I've gone downhill since to 'The new book is the best ever,' so to whom to I listen? So I write for myself and hope other people like it.
I've played with so many people that I never really noticed that I was playing with so many people until after it was compiled on the Internet. I just kept going. I haven't even heard half the records I've played on, to tell you the truth.
The way for a young man to rise is to improve himself in every way he can, never suspecting that anybody wishes to hinder him.
Parkinson's is a slow but inevitable process. It's hard living with it on a daily basis. The difficulty facing people with it is that they never quite know 'Can I or can't I do this today?'
The Academy Awards ceremony is designed to be without irony, but Chris Rock supplied it anyway with filmed movie-theater interviews with black men and women who had never heard of the movies nominated for Best Picture.
If you spend too much time thinking about a thing, you'll never get it done.
I never wrote just straight women's roles. I liked the strong characters. I don't mean women who have masculine qualities about them, but something that has some intestinal fortitude, some guts to it.
Never, never, never should the pocket square be of the same pattern as your ties. You are not 'Reverend Ike.'
A lie never lives to be old.
You can never tell when a commercial space venture will suddenly become viable.
I've never done anything for money. My first love is things of limited commercial appeal. I could be happy doing Shakespeare for the rest of my life.
People in Nevada know me from the street to the ring to the Senate chambers. I've never had to prove my manhood to anyone.
I've had people say to me, 'You'll never sell handbags. You don't work with leather, and leather is luxury.' To me, it's the complete opposite: leather is everywhere - it's so cheap a material; it's so mass produced. Over 50 million animals a year are killed just for fashion. For me, it doesn't have a luxury element to it.
Never regret yesterday. Life is in you today and you make your tomorrow.
You want to do good things, and once you've done a couple of good things in a row, you think 'Well gee, let's not mess this up.' But I am lucky at this point that I have something I really love to do, and it completely holds my attention. I never feel frustrated by it.
Always remember: the alleviation of poverty is never a political or economic issue - it is moral.
Cause and effect, the riddle of all history, is a particular devil in financial history; and never more so than today, where entire classes of security are collapsing not on public exchanges and stock-tickers but because there are no markets to establish prices this side of nothing.
Always mistrust a subordinate who never finds fault with his superior.
I really loved Twin Peaks. When I saw the two-hour pilot, they screened it in the big theatre. I said, I don't know what is going to happen. I'm in this and I don't understand it. This is never going to sell. Who's going to watch this thing?
If I know I make this much trouble, I never climb Everest.
I hadn't realized the number of people that are still interested in listening to what I am doing, people I would never know about if not for being online.
I never met Colleen McCullough; if I had, I probably would have cried and made a fool of myself.
James Caan told me at the end of filming 'Elf' that he had been waiting through the whole film for me to be funny - and I never was.
I never thought television would or could be a long-term commitment.
I never had the idea of moving to Paris and becoming something. I liked the idea of living in Paris because it seemed to have so many parts of life I really enjoyed. The people there seemed to prize literature and art, food and drinking, a more hedonistic way of living.
I have never made a decision based on race and never will.
There's never been a better time to sell properties.
