It's hard for me to view Baltimore outside the context of what Baltimore has always been in my mind: a violent place.
There are two types of claims: those based on hard numbers and those based on slippery numbers.
The reason a lot of people do not recognize opportunity is because it usually goes around wearing overalls looking like hard work.
People tell me they laughed hard enough to wake their spouses, that they've given away numerous copies to friends, and that it's the one Trek book they'll give to people they wouldn't expect to like others.
Take it not amiss, O speech, that I borrow weighty words, and later try hard to make them seem light.
Working is hard and distracts from having fun.
We're all our own worst critics and so hard on ourselves, but for me, my biggest insecurity is my arms. I just hate the tops of them. I work out and they still never look good enough for me. So, over the years I've learned to dress to make myself feel better.
There have been people in my life who have told me I have to put myself out there more. But it's so hard for me to do that.
It's... a hard thing for a director, to think you came up with a shot, something from your mind, and someone died while doing it. It's the worst thing you'll ever have to live with. It was very hard for me to get back on the horse again.
I did Star 80, which was a magnificent experience as well, but still, I was at the height of my career at the beginning. Then I had to jump down the ladder and climb back up again, which I didn't understand. That was very hard.
Touring is a tough plane to get off the ground, and it takes a lot of hard work and a lot of investments.
Of course I work hard. Why shouldn't I? Who am I to think I should get things the easy way?
Most films I work on, the people making the film are constantly second-guessing the executives of the studio, the producer, and the audience. It is very hard to accomplish anything in that situation.
I'm sure I am impatient sometimes. I sure do get angry sometimes. I think it's outrageous how hard it is to get this country to feed its children and to take care of its children, to give them a decent education.
I love the feel of hitting the ball hard, the pleasure of a rally. It is these things that make tennis the delightful game that it is.
I was bullied at school for my red hair; today I still come out fighting hard. I give as good as I get. In business, it's about finding solutions, not being rolled over.
I train as hard as I can every time I train and I do extra training every day and I've done that since I was a young boy.
It takes some discipline and hard work, but relying on credit when things go wrong is a trap.
Movies are hard work. The public doesn't see that. The critics don't see it. But they're a lot of work. A lot of work.
It's hard work to make a four-minute program look effortless and elegant.
It's been hard, but I've finally come to the realization that it's okay to not be perfect.
The title always comes last. What I really work hard on is the beginning. Where do you begin? In what tone do you begin? I almost have to have a scene in my mind.
The press is still investing itself, it seems to me, in a sort of cynicism. It comes out better for them if they can predict hard times, bogging down, sniping, attrition.
I want to do something that is unique, that has its own legs. But it's very hard because if you start veering off, if you get too crazy, then people won't know what to make of it. I want to please my audience, too. I want people to like what I do.
Sometimes going in for a hard tackle generates a louder cheer than a great pass.
It's kind of fun being the cute, little one. In fact, I'm finding it hard to grow out of that.
I think the best romantic comedies are hard funny - no soft jokes, but ones that make you, like, guffaw. I also think that they have to make you feel good, ideally, and make you feel warm inside at the end.
Then as I got older, I always gravitated towards the hard stuff, Born To Be Wild, then Black Sabbath.
The hardest part of it was really being away from my family - I have two small children. Last year I took over 20 business trips, so being away from them was hard.
This is what customers pay us for - to sweat all these details so it's easy and pleasant for them to use our computers. We're supposed to be really good at this. That doesn't mean we don't listen to customers, but it's hard for them to tell you what they want when they've never seen anything remotely like it.
'Villain' succeeded because we were genuinely working towards a good film. We worked hard and with a lot of conviction.
Innovation is hard. It really is. Because most people don't get it. Remember, the automobile, the airplane, the telephone, these were all considered toys at their introduction because they had no constituency. They were too new.
We became somewhat household names really quickly, within a matter of - what? - three, four months. So it's hard to get used to, and it's really sometimes hard to understand.
Television is much more difficult because at every moment the network can force you to change things based on their belief about what would make it popular. You're in a constant debate with a gun at your head, and the gun is cancellation. So it's hard to win the arguments.
It has taken me years of struggle, hard work and research to learn to make one simple gesture, and I know enough about the art of writing to realize that it would take as many years of concentrated effort to write one simple, beautiful sentence.
I think it's hard to know. Feeling fulfilled, because actors face periods of unemployment, there is nothing worse than being at the top of your game; you have so much to give but do not have the platform to do this.
