I admit I'm being paid well, but it's no more than I deserve. After all, I've been screwed more times than a hooker.
When I'm injured, I eat everything - proper junk. That's the one thing about being injured so much, I get to treat myself.
I am the epitome of a walking contradiction for various reasons, only one of which being that I feel my existence is of heaven and hell.
We are constantly being surprised that people did things well before we were born.
Being flown to the U.S. to meet Sofia Coppola is really exciting. I was freaking out. I'm a little nervous, as I don't want to muck it up I want to do my best.
I love 'Yo Gabba Gabba!' because it's a real kids' show. There hasn't been a real kids' show since 'Dora the Explorer.' It mixes hip-hop with being a kid. Hip-hop came from youths anyway. It's just a great, funky show.
What is fame? The advantage of being known by people of whom you yourself know nothing, and for whom you care as little.
I talked about my father being abusive to my mother - people have never heard me talk about anything like that. That brings people a little bit more personal with Missy.
Yes, translation is by definition an inadequate substitute for being able to read a masterpiece in the original.
The most important thing to keep in mind in being effective is focus.
We've yet to deal with the uncomfortable history of England being involved in the transatlantic slave trade, whereas America has at least made some movies dealing with its racial history.
Anyone who's been reading my stuff can see that there's a lot of tracks being laid for future stories.
I'd like more of the world go back to being wild.
My opinion is that music is music. As long as you approach doing a remix with truth, I don't see the dance remixes being any different than an hip-hop remix- it's really a different version of the song.
These girls come; they last one season; they're completely used up and dried out and sent back home. That's not how to make a life. I want a girl to come in knowing full well what she's getting into and being able to deal and make decisions that will create a career.
I'm from the '60s, but no one has ever accused me of being a hippie. I never had much interest in the Woodstock crowd, which partied to change the world, while real people were starving to death in Africa.
I don't have a problem being labeled a sex symbol, though I personally don't feel very sexy about myself.
It's much more enjoyable being an actor.

Being elected to Congress is regarded as being sent on a looting raid for one's friends.
You've got to be really careful about what you say and do anywhere you are.

I think we have a great track record on being relevant, on identifying consumer trends, needs and wants.
I spent the first half of my career being accused of being gay when I hadn't had anything like a gay relationship.

Being able to fantasize for a couple of days at being a rock singer surpassed most things I've done on stage.
It's not easy being Hugh Jackman, but he wears the attention better than anyone I've ever met. He treats every person he meets the same and finds joy in everything he does. The lesson I've learned is that if you work incredibly hard, and you're nice to everybody, you'll be fine.
Tragedy is one of the larger prices we pay for being alive. No one ever sidesteps tragedy. It is always there, shadowing us.

C was already implemented on several quite different machines and OSs, Unix was already being distributed on the PDP-11, but the portability of the whole system was new.
I was accepted to UCLA, but at the same time, I had a job offer at Chicago's Chez Paree nightclub. My father, being a practical man, felt I should take the job.
This is what I do for a living. It's not who I am as a human being.
If you go from a structure where you have the support and that partner and that construction of a family and that's broken apart, I think that's probably a lot harder than always being a single mom and having the father being a support in another area.
