In grammar school I read 'Act One' by Moss Hart, and being a playwright struck me as the most magical and romantic career anyone could have... But I never did write a play.
I played guitar when I was young and never really considered it as a way to make a living.
I think I've been fortunate to be at the top of the game and in the media for years, and a lot of times, people want to be your friend when you're on the top. You know, there have been times when I've been injured and I never got a phone call. So that's the way it is.
I would have been content to just do studio work, making it on my own never really entered my mind.
If I sold something, and it didn't perform, I'd never forgive myself.
Living on a planet of fixed size requires compromise, and while we are the only party capable of negotiating, we are not the only party at the table. We've never claimed more, and we've never had less.
He that lives to live forever, never fears dying.
I never watched any award show.
I tell kids that people will let them down and people will hurt them. But Jesus Christ will never let them down and never hurt them.
It's like you always have to put on a happy face, be the phony baloney, and I'm so not that. I never was that; I'll never be that. That is part of the business that I don't like. Maybe that will always keep me an outsider, I don't know. But that's fine.
It never really occurs to me that I'm doing cringe comedy. It's something that people tell me afterwards, and I say, 'Again? Really? I never set out with that intention.'
Losing my teeth didn't impede my acting, but it was a constant worry and meant I was never completely relaxed.
I'm the most gregarious of men and love good company, but never less alone when alone.
Going to college was never an option. I was passionate about music, but how much talent I actually had was another matter.
True dignity is never gained by place, and never lost when honors are withdrawn.
Sometimes interviews are fun and good conversations, but stuff like photo shoots and appearances at places where you have to meet a lot of people - I was never really made for this kind of stuff.
The unforgivable crime is soft hitting. Do not hit at all if it can be avoided; but never hit softly.
I never liked quantitative easing. It's misunderstood by almost everybody. Flattening the yield curve is not stimulative; flattening the yield curve is anti-stimulative.
What has the women's movement learned from Geraldine Ferraro's candidacy for vice president? Never get married.
My brother never got an opportunity to throw a pitch, and I didn't want the same thing to happen to another young kid.
The only band that we have never played with but have always wanted to is the Rolling Stones.
Growing up on, say, the Upper East Side, you're so isolated. If you go to the Hamptons every weekend, you never talk to a construction worker, and the construction worker would never talk to you.
Don't feel embarrassed if you've never heard of William Lane Craig. He parades himself as a philosopher, but none of the professors of philosophy whom I consulted had heard his name, either.
I never admire another's fortune so much that I became dissatisfied with my own.
Of prosperity mortals can never have enough.
I will tell you King's First Law of Recognition: You never get it when you want it, and then when it comes, you get too much.
I hope Britney doesn't get bummed out that Lindsey is a better singer. It is not Lindsey saying it, it's me. Lindsey would never say that. She's an actress first. It's just a bonus that she can dance and sing.
I learn something new everyday about myself as an actor, my capabilities, how far I can stretch myself, throw out emotions I never knew I had.
If every day is an awakening, you will never grow old. You will just keep growing.
I never rehearse. Never! I think it's a waste of time.
For instance, I have never believed that there is only one person for each person in the world. It doesn't make the least sense to me. However, in reality, I fell in love at 45 and I am absolutely certain that my now husband is the only man in the world for me, a truth I find both ridiculous and uplifting.
I've always traveled with a picture of my daughter from 1989, her kindergarten school picture, that has 'I love you, Daddy' written on it. She's always made fun of me because I never changed that picture out. It's like my resistance to her getting older. It was the first thing she'd ever written to me and it means the world to me.
I never view myself as a leader.
Ed Koch will never 'rest in peace.' That was not his way. He was always nervously squirming, while making others squirm as well. Comfort was not his goal. He understood that to be a proud and assertive Jew meant never being able to leave a sigh of relief and say, 'It's over, we are at peace, we can now put down our guard and relax.'
I've never stabbed, hurt, killed, stolen, anything, but I went to jail for a year. What is that? My pastor said to me the fact that I'm not living under a bridge as a crazy woman, talking to myself, is amazing.
You can kill a revolutionary but you can never kill the revolution.
