I never said I wanted to be a movie star.
If you look at my career, I've never gone to a team that had fulfilled their potential.
It's true that I have never met any man whom I thought altogether resembled me - but only because my faults are so enormous.
And we are never too old to study the Bible. Each time the lessons are studied comes some new meaning, some new thought which will make us better.
I was very independent growing up, but there were things that were bothering me that I never told anybody. I would talk to our animals at home.
We think that we have great potential but never reach it.
I never read gossip press. I just read books. And I never switch on the TV anymore.
I play guitar quite a bit, because I'm always in search of something. I don't play to jam, but because I'm fishing. I'm looking for something, that I hope you can never find. If I do find it, I'm afraid I won't have a need to do this any more.
I never use notes, they interfere with me.
My father was a man of love. He always loved me to death. He worked hard in the fields, but my father never hit me. Never. I don't ever remember a really cross, unkind word from my father.
Fortunately, I've never had a job.
I remember just lying in the grass, staring at the clouds, wondering where they drifted off to after they floated over Texas. I never would have imagined that one day I would follow one of those clouds and find myself in Hollywood.
I constantly experience failure in that my work is never as good as I want it to be. So I live with failure.
It's commonly said that people who've been ill in childhood and who've had an upset education never really regret that they do. It means that you don't look at the world in the way that other people do, and if you were inclined to be a writer, that's a help.
Our worldly successes cannot be guaranteed, but our ability to achieve spiritual success is entirely up to us, thanks to the grace of God. The best advice I know is to give is to give those worldly things your best but never your all - reserve the ultimate hope for the only one who can grant it.
I never know what kind of people I'll meet just by stopping to take a photo.
Certain songs like 'Enjoy the Silence' - to me, it always fits anywhere. There's something about that song that's really timeless, and I never get bored or feel like I have to muster something up.
I have never described the time I was in Doctor Who as anything except a kind of ecstatic success, but all the rest has been rather a muddle and a disappointment. Compared to Doctor Who, it has been an outrageous failure really - it's so boring.
My mother never learned English, but in Russia, the greatest thing was to give a child to the arts. And so they gave me to the ballet.
'The Lego Movie?' I've never heard of it.
Every job is different. I don't think that I've ever had that wonderful feeling when you've finished a job or where you feel like you've mastered it or sort of nailed it... You can never be satisfied. If you're satisfied, it's time to retire.
One never can know the whys and the wherefores of one's passional changes.

Love and doubt have never been on speaking terms.
All those people whose faces decorate the shopping bags of Barnes and Noble, with a few exceptions, would never get published today.
I've never, ever in my life enjoyed playing live the way I am now.

An extraordinary diva would never sit by herself.
I never refused my help to any person black or white; and I liked the office nonetheless because there were neither fees nor salary connected with it.
A sound discretion is not so much indicated by never making a mistake as by never repeating it.
I really liked doing a number of the projects and directors, and etc., etc., I knew about half-way through that I would never be doing that again. It's just not me. I really am happy as a part-time film composer, not a full-time film composer.
Sometimes an active policy is best advanced by doing nothing until the right time - or never.
I never trusted anybody at all. I don't know why it was so hard, I just didn't.
That difficult start drove me on to inspire children and let them know that it is never to late to repair a bad experience at school, and once you get your head down and start to read books, you can really achieve.
When you're lucky enough to have a good film made of your novel - and 'Never Let Me Go' is, believe me, a heartbreakingly good film indeed - you get wonderfully talented individuals each focusing on their special area.
I'll never starve.
