It's hard to learn about your parents' courtship.
It's very hard for individual inventors to get paid. For the same reason that private equity is valuable - broadly, that's a good thing - in the case of patents, many that own them aren't in a good position to take the next step.
And I'm going to work as hard as I can... for cancer research and hopefully, maybe, we'll have some cures and some breakthroughs. I'd like to think I'm going to fight my brains out to be back here again next year for the Arthur Ashe recipient. I want to give it next year!
I don't think screenwriting is therapeutic. It's actually really, really hard for me. It's not an enjoyable process.
I really believe in myself. I'm the hardest worker I know, and one of the best songwriters. There's a craft to it, and it takes a long time to hone it, and I work really hard at it.
It is hard to convince a high-school student that he will encounter a lot of problems more difficult than those of algebra and geometry.
The right to private property meant at the same time the right and duty to be personally concerned about your own well-being, to be personally concerned about your family's income, to be personally concerned about your future. This is hard work.
I believe that we all have a responsibility to give back. No one becomes successful without lots of hard work, support from others, and a little luck. Giving back creates a virtuous cycle that makes everyone more successful.
Being a parent is not a reasonable thing. It is a very hard thing. I am a parent and I know.
The only genius that's worth anything is the genius for hard work.
Coming up with ideas isn't hard. The real challenge is finding the time to actually build something and then finding a home for it.
I have always worked long hours and very hard. It is the way I am. Same as always. Up about seven and get to bed about 12 to 1, something like that.
I like having a woman. I like having someone to come home to, to make all of the hard work feel worth it. I need someone with me. And I want someone.
Nobody works as hard for his money as the man who marries it.
I will fight hard to keep my seat in this place, but that will depend on the people who sent me here.
Most women file for bankruptcy in the aftermath of a serious medical problem, a job loss, or a family break up. It is hard to protect against those.
Titles are very hard. Sometimes a title comes before I start to write the book, but often I finish the book, and I still don't have a title. I have to go through the book again, and then sometimes I hope a title jumps out at me from what I've written.
I had promised my husband never to accept another engagement. It was hard. It was not a very happy time for me.
Falling is a hard thing to do whether you are a Christian or not, but when you are in Christ, it comes with a deep sadness for letting your Savior down.
The world of modeling can be hard; just as cruel as it is glamorous.
Working hard is very important. You're not going to get anywhere without working extremely hard.
Movies don't look hard, but figuring it out, getting the shape of it, getting everybody's character right and having it be funny, make sense and be romantic, it's creating a puzzle.

As an adult, it's hard for me to remember my mother before her sickness. But if I go back into childhood, I can access that.
It's the rejection that is hard. It's not the interviewing that's hard. It's not the photography that's hard. It's, you know, approaching people all day long and having a good portion of those people reject you and some of them be rude.
Yes, in fact, it's hard to believe this, but it was almost 18 years ago when I first got the idea.
I can't believe this is happening to me. The weirdest thing is it was just a dream, and now it's actually real. It's hard to believe sometimes.
In the mid-nineties, diversity in the fashion/beauty business was hard to come by.
I have a ton of Holocaust stuff, and some of it is really hard core.
Actors are not all there when it comes to things like relationships. The thing about us is we still greatly enjoy each other. If it weren't for her support it would be hard for me to do what I am doing now.
You try to shut the criticism out, but it's pretty hard to do. You see people on the street, friends, people that you know are in your corner, and they come and tell you how bad they feel, and that's not the kind of conversation you want. I don't want anyone to feel bad for me.
The true value of somebody in this town is very hard to determine. It's all smoke and mirrors.
I had a hard time when I came back to Sweden and started school, because I looked different. And we moved to a really small town on the west coast of Sweden, and there were no brown people around. It didn't really get any better until I started music school at about 10 years old.
A play is a hard thing, particularly in L.A. It's less expensive than in New York, but there's also less of a commitment to people doing plays than in New York. So it's a strange battle.
