As good as I was at wrestling, I never thought I was any good.
My first typewriter cost me $75. I can't tell you how many hours it took me to earn that money, or how proud I was of that object. I wrote my first books on it. They will never be published, but that's all right.
If you are kept in ignorance of the true way and permit yourself to rely upon and be guided by the opinion of imperfect man, you can never gain the riches that will bring you peace and lasting happiness.
I've always been interested in people, but I've never liked them.
You should never worry too much about achieving your goals, because in the long run you might not find yourself too happy when you get there.
We all learn from each other, and I never really hung out with guys in that way, so I missed out.
I've never wanted to be the ingenue. Now that I'm getting into my forties, I think my time as a woman has arrived; I think I might have a new moment in my career. I have that drive left - just for a little while.
It is important never to forget our history, but parts of our history are more appropriately displayed in museums, not on government property.
I'm frugal. I'm not a very acquisitive woman. I never waste food. If you prepare your own food, you engage with the world, it tastes alive. It tastes good.
I never heard of an old man forgetting where he had buried his money! Old people remember what interests them: the dates fixed for their lawsuits, and the names of their debtors and creditors.
Lyndon B. Johnson thought he'd have the boys home from Vietnam by Christmas - for four Christmases in a row (he never shifted course, and lost his presidency for it).
Age does not depend upon years, but upon temperament and health. Some men are born old, and some never grow so.
Give me four years to teach the children and the seed I have sown will never be uprooted.
Karl Pilkington has the roundest head, I think, in the world. It's not technically a deformity, but I've never seen anything quite that spherical.
I never take any notes or draw charts or make elaborate diagrams, but I hold an image of the shape of a book in my head and work from that mental hologram.
I had very strict parents, I could never go outside or go to parties.
Good intentions are not enough. They've never put an onion in the soup yet.
As far as control and stuff is concerned, I never had any more in my life than for that All-Star game in 1934.
I never see what has been done; I only see what remains to be done.
I could never resist the call of the trail.

I wanted more in depth ideas about the character and it never came.
I had a lot of notes and fragments and observations that never amounted to anything. After the Wall had gone down, so many people were writing about Berlin, I didn't have the same urgency or feel enough authority.
A man who has not passed through the inferno of his passions has never overcome them.
I'm so different to the roles I play, and perhaps that's why they are appealing to me as an actor. But I would never want to inhabit my characters' shoes in real life.
It is one of the most saddening things in life that, try as we may, we can never be certain of making people happy, whereas we can almost always be certain of making them unhappy.
There's never been any game plan or thread through my career. It's just happened that I've ricocheted from one interesting character to another.
Oftentimes, when a movie turns into a series, you never retain the creative auspices. You buy the idea, you buy the franchise, and then you bring in a whole new creative team and copy the tone or sensibility.

I was never a celebrity - just a working actor.
I probably would never be caught wearing a baseball cap. Hats are difficult to me because they tend to be too big for my head. They don't fit right, and I feel ridiculous.
To be a Bond villain, you only get to do that once in your life. You never get to come back.
I'd like to be that chameleon. That's really ultimately what I want to hear from people eventually: 'I really love when I see him in stuff, but I never know he's gonna be here.' I want to be that actor that surprises you when you see him in a project, and you go, 'Yes! I love that guy. He's in this? Awesome.'
I think generally playing live is a crap idea. So much of stage work is the presentation of personality, and I've never been interested in that.
I'm not a big fan of lead vocalists, people who sing but don't play. I never wanted to be in a band where the guy who was up front just sang. I've always thought it better when one of the musicians sings, like Steve Winwood.
