I never got to make that transition from little girl to young woman... and that really screws you up.
Growing up, I never felt like the pretty girl.
I've never lived in Eastern Europe, although both my wife and I have ancestors in Poland and Russia - but I can see the scenes I create.
I never want to do the same things twice. I like surprises.
The great thing about a parallel-dimensions story is that you can literally never run out of plot.
A poem is never finished, only abandoned.
Americans play to win at all times. I wouldn't give a hoot and hell for a man who lost and laughed. That's why Americans have never lost nor ever lose a war.
I've got many different voices - I have a Southern girl, an Irish girl. I have a gibberish language that you'd have to decipher. I guess I try to never take myself too seriously.
I believe that Catholics involved in politics carry the values of their religion within them, but have the mature awareness and expertise to implement them. The Church will never go beyond its task of expressing and disseminating its values, at least as long as I'm here.
I think so many times in our society we focus so much on just the end result; when we finally reach that point we realize that was never the true goal.
People keep coming up to me and asking, 'How does it feel to be banned for life?' Banned for life. I wasn't banned for life. There was never a word of suspension, probation or ban in that agreement. It was never meant to be part of it.
I have spent a lot of time listening to people who are serving life sentences and getting to know them and the circumstances of their lives. I have never met anyone serving a long prison sentence who had anything close to what I could call a childhood; instead, the upbringings always - always - involve extreme situations of poverty and abuse.
Humanity, you never had it to begin with.
I never liked group work in school.
The poetry of the earth is never dead.
I never feel more alive than when I'm on stage. On film you feel chopped up, you can be acting from the neck up, or the hand, there is a lot of close up.
Love is never lost. If not reciprocated, it will flow back and soften and purify the heart.
It's only I have seen enough of it and the funny thing is now, I know that I'm skinny, because I know there are even smaller clothes in the store. I think I'm big, when I was big, I never thought about it.
When you are younger you get blamed for crimes you never committed and when you're older you begin to get credit for virtues you never possessed. It evens itself out.
Never a tear bedims the eye that time and patience will not dry.
I decided I would never do interviews again.
Remembering that the man who always fights one more round is never whipped.
I could never have imagined that firing 67 people on national television would actually make me more popular, especially with the younger generation.
A good action is never lost; it is a treasure laid up and guarded for the doer's need.
It is not like I have gone crazy, I just don't want to take any chances. You never know what could happen.
I'd been going to the Louvre since 1951. I thought I knew Paris and the French, but I didn't really. You know how easy it is to make friends when you are traveling. People are curious about you, you are curious about them. But you never really make friends that way. After the Louvre, I discovered that I have friends now because I have enemies.
What have you given the world it never possessed before you came?
I pop gum. My parents get so annoyed with me. I know my dad wishes he never taught me how to do that.
Writing is a process of discovering. I could never outline a narrative; that just sounds boring. There's no joy of discovery in what you're doing if that's your strategy.
But meanwhile time flies; it flies never to be regained.
I wonder if it is harder for a woman who was beautiful to get older or a woman who was never looked at.
Washington's entire honesty of mind and his fearless look into the face of all facts are qualities which can never go out of fashion and which we should all do well to imitate.
A ball had passed between my body and the right arm which supported him, cutting through the sleeve and passing through his chest from shoulder to shoulder. There was no more to be done for him and I left him to his rest. I have never mended that hole in my sleeve.
People always want to ask me about my drug problem - I never had a drug problem; I had a self-esteem problem!
And I never ask what I'm doing the next day. I don't want to know what I'm doing tomorrow. It's much too overwhelming. So I just go day by day, without knowing.
In such a case secrecy must be absolute to be effective, and although mere vague curiosity induced many persons of my intimate acquaintance to ask to be allowed to just go in and have a peep, I never admitted anyone.
