I'm a family-based person, even though we didn't exactly have a very happy family. I was never in any doubt that this was a centre of writing.
The existence of another, competing translation is a good thing, in general, and only immediately discouraging to one person - the translator who, after one, two, or three years of more or less careful work, sees another, and perhaps superior, version appear as if overnight.
You've just got to have a sense of respect for the person you have children with. Anger doesn't help anybody. Ultimately you have to say forgiveness is important, and honoring what you had together is important. But it's easy to say and harder to do.
In the United States there's a Puritan ethic and a mythology of success. He who is successful is good. In Latin countries, in Catholic countries, a successful person is a sinner.
Clearly it is better that, when someone is wanted by the international police, and this person travels, and a country knows about it, that country reports the fact.
We realise that natural aptitudes are not interchangeable, and each person must, of biological or spiritual necessity, practise the art for which he is fitted.
I have been extremely lucky; I am a person who is currently living with a cancer that is under control.
You're successful if you can get one person to pick it up and put it on the turntable and go, Wow, thanks for writing that!
As simple as it sounds, we all must try to be the best person we can: by making the best choices, by making the most of the talents we've been given.
The true success is the person who invented himself.
In California, you can stretch your arms out and not be touching another person. You get space, sun and, in general, dignity.
When you work on a text of a lesser quality, as the interpreter or the delivery person, you are obliged to try to fill it out as you see so many people do in lesser work.
I felt 'Gone with the Wind' would last five years, and it's lasted over 70 and into a new millennium. There is a special place in my heart for that film and Melanie. She was a remarkable character - a loving person - and because of that, she was a happy person. And Scarlett, of course, was not.
I think I've changed a lot as a person.
I've loved the escapism of being another person, slipping into another character for a little while.
My concept of an advice giver had been a therapist or a know-it-all, and then I realized nobody listens to the know-it-alls. You turn to the people you know, the friend who has been in the thick of it or messed up - and I'm that person for sure.
Electric communication will never be a substitute for the face of someone who with their soul encourages another person to be brave and true.
People only look at me as a Beatle, but my friends look at me as a whole person. That's how life works, but it's not bugging me anymore.
It's obvious that if you're going to play a character you need to amass information about that person and about their environment or their era that they're in and use as little or as much as necessary.
I am an extremely private person. I always feel that I come across as a caricature of myself whenever I do interviews.
The great person is ahead of their time, the smart make something out of it, and the blockhead, sets themselves against it.
I'm not a very dark person.
I felt that Balanchine was my father towards me. He was the person I most admired and looked up to.
I feel like an old person. I feel like, 'What is this technology?' I think there's some seven-year-olds who are more advanced than I am right now.
Social media websites are no longer performing an envisaged function of creating a positive communication link among friends, family and professionals. It is a veritable battleground, where insults fly from the human quiver, damaging lives, destroying self-esteem and a person's sense of self-worth.
I would do 'John Carter' again tomorrow. I'm very proud of 'John Carter.' Box office doesn't validate me as a person, or as an actor.
I definitely consider myself a Christian. There's things that I believe in, there's things I have a self-belief on. I know I got a great relationship with God and the universe. I just believe in being a righteous person and karma. Doing unto others as you would have done unto you. I really want to help teach that.
I'm a relaxed person, and I kind of just wear anything; I don't put that much time and care into planning an outfit.
My own experience being bullied - it made me a more compassionate person. It made me more sympathetic to the adolescent experience.
'Stay With Me,' for me, is my own personal anthem to the 'walk of shame...' that we've all gone through. It's the feeling after a one-night stand of not wanting that person to leave, even if you don't love them and don't even like them. It's about having that body next to you.
If I ever had to be on an amusement park ride, I probably wouldn't get on one; I'm not a very adventurous person!
I'm not the type of person to give up just because something gets rough. That's a coward. That's not me.
I'd seen my dad on stage, and that was fine, but the real excitement was - that was my dad. Even now, when I see his films, he's always my favourite person in the movie.
I periodically realize every few years that the only person whose taste I really trust is me.
I've never been a person to wish for stuff - I just take it as it comes.
My family lives in Miami, and I always envision myself, if something happens, it'd be like 'The Day After Tomorrow' where I walk across country to find my family. That would be the kind of person I would be. I feel like I wouldn't be as scared. If it happens, it happens. You face it.
