I constantly have anxiety about being the lead of the show. I don't talk about it because it scares me. But I've always wanted to be part of something where I could work on a character in such a big manner, and you get offered that with all the trappings of being the lead of the show.
What can you say about such a man as Christopher Reeve? He embodied all the best that a human being can hope to be.
Now that I look back on it, having retired from being a reporter, it was kind of romantic. It was a wonderful way to live one's life, just as I imagined it would be when I was 6 or 7.
I mean, I love being with friends and I love kissing and loving someone to pieces. But it's hard to find someone who doesn't ultimately start judging you and your choices.
Romanticism is not just about being in a fixed state of endless beauty, because you can't live like that or live on that, that's what I've learnt.
You don't know when you're being watched. That's one of the weird things about celebrity. It's my least favorite part of acting, celebrity.
Being exposed to theory, stimulated by a basic love of concepts and mathematics, was a marvelous experience.
I am not into fashion. I just like being able to buy my mates dinner.
As money, Bitcoin achieves two objectives; it's both a unit of transaction as well as being a store of value. The U.S. dollar, for example, is a unit of transaction, but it is not a store of value.
I shall soon be six-and-twenty. Is there anything in the future that can possibly console us for not being always twenty-five?
I do think that, at one time, being an actress was the equivalent almost of being a prostitute. It garnered roughly the same respect. That's changed a lot, thank goodness.
I'm stuck with being No. 32 for the Cleveland Browns. I can't do anything about that, and I don't' want to do anything about it.
I think every human being has a level of melancholy in life and in general.
The lies the government and media tell are amplifications of the lies we tell ourselves. To stop being conned, stop conning yourself.
I like being challenged. That's the only way you grow.
I totally remember that: being 25 and unemployed and trying to stretch each cappuccino for 60 minutes.
I hated the thought of being just a songwriter.
For now I'm just enjoying being a mom. I don't want to be more famous and more rich. I want to be a good mom.
Drinking beer is easy. Trashing your hotel room is easy. But being a Christian, that's a tough call. That's rebellion.
In every interview I've got to explain something about being white but still being into hip hop. It's gone way beyond the musical aspect of the business. And I'm as critical about music as everybody else is.

Some Native American writers enjoy being called Native American writers.
I love being in Mumbai and want to continue being here.
I hated the idea that I would be like my father. Which is one of the reasons I decided I didn't want to be a writer and wanted to be an actor instead. I wanted to go in a total different direction. But, of course, I ended up being a writer anyway.
I auditioned for a one-act version of 'The Princess and the Pea' called 'The Ugly Duckling,' and I was cast as the King, starting a pattern of being cast in roles originally intended for men. I went to the first rehearsal, and I didn't get any laughs, and I choked and I quit. I walked away from it and joined the tennis team.

The cool part of being an entertainer is getting the opportunity to get your feet wet in all areas.
It's very strong after the birth. It's extraordinary. You can't watch anything to do with kids being harmed.
Pretty much the day I stopped being laureate, the poems that had been few and far between came back to me, like birds in the evening nesting in a tree.
I love being an ambassador for 'Star Wars.'
I've always loved Helena Christensen's style because she looks casual and comfortable, while being chic and cool.
It's not being marketed as a gay show by a gay person. It's just Ellen DeGeneres.
I hadn't realized the number of people that are still interested in listening to what I am doing, people I would never know about if not for being online.
I love being by myself.
In choosing a hypothesis there is no virtue in being timid. I clearly would have been burned at the stake in another age.
I went through a lot of my life not being mindful of how I was living it. I wasn't mindful environmentally, or whether I was on track.
