Things are beautiful if you love them.
The Menzies Government, by its participation in the plans for the development of other nations, can see the virtue of planning for them but apparently cannot see the virtue of a plan for Australia.
I try to motivate people and inspire them, to let them know that they're not alone.
What makes me so confident is my coaches, my team: they are the best in the world, and if it wasn't for them, I wouldn't be here.
Tell people that biology and the environment cause obesity and they are offered the one thing we have to avoid: an excuse. As it is, people who see more fat people around them may themselves be more likely to gain weight.
I've been interested in dreams since I as a kid and I've wanted to do a film about them for a long time.
I didn't start out thinking that I could ever make films. I started out being a film lover, loving films, and wanting to have a job that put me close to them and close to filmmakers and close to film sets.
The slapdash way producers used to assemble a show seems a little unbelievable when we talk about them now.
As far away as you can get from the process of mechanisms and machinery, the more likely your food's going to taste good. And that - that is probably the largest thing I can hand to anybody is let your hands touch it. Let them make it.
I just don't like looking at the crowd and seeing them just staring and listening to the music. When I get them involved, whatever type of music I'm playing, they leave there feeling better.
If we're not on them, they go back to their old ways.
In societies no less than individuals, acknowledging our limitations may ultimately be more humane than denying them.
People say, 'I know you, don't I?' And they expect me to say I know them from their daughter's school or something - they can't place me. And I love that. Long may it last.
That certainly is one approach to take. My own is to acknowledge the inner child and try to work with my first fascination with science fiction. I have tried to build on its idea content and narrative drive rather than to discard them.
Memories are like stones, time and distance erode them like acid.
Be like the bird who, pausing in her flight awhile on boughs too slight, feels them give way beneath her, and yet sings, knowing she hath wings.
I asked certain rich men if they felt embittered. 'How could we not?' they said. So I asked them what caused this anguish. They blamed their wealth.
I got roles from good production houses, though I wasn't keen on them, as I was asked to - and I won't - wear a bikini in a film. I'm not conservative, as I'd wear it on holidays, but definitely not in front of the camera. I have to think of my family.
Our chief defect is that we are more given to talking about things than to doing them.
First you date the songs, and then you get engaged and then you marry them. They have to stand the test of time, because they are going to be yours for the next 20, 30, 40 years. So you had better choose right.
The people who have been helping me in the past continue to support me. Many of them supported my father, and the support isn't just financial.
Maids in India have egos. Big egos. They do not like being spoken to curtly, and they do not like to be abruptly instructed by a woman they do not know. They come with the feeling that they already know everything. So while training them to do things your way, speak gently, and when they do it right, appreciate it.
I love that perhaps we don't see the things that are there because we have no yardstick to see things by, to compare them.
My clients don't pay me to feel sorry; they pay me to bring them money. I am tough, but I have a soft side.
I love Prada shoes. I cannot get enough of them. Or Valentino.
If a literary man puts together two words about music, one of them will be wrong.
When the audience leaves, I'd like them to feel positive when they go.
I have ideas written down some places, but usually I can't find them. I'm not very organized.
I've never been one to sit back and go, 'I'd better do what the audience wants me to do, because I don't want to lose them.'
They are amazing kids so we let them make decisions but also have discipline.
If you're pitching to investors for the first time and expecting them to be so blown away by how thoroughly amazing your pitch is that they write a check on the spot - well, prepare to be disappointed.
There was always a love-hate relationship with New York in the rest of the country, but I made them feel more love than hate.
For when they see the people swarm into the streets, and daily wet to the skin with rain, and yet cannot persuade them to go out of the rain, they do keep themselves within their houses, seeing they cannot remedy the folly of the people.
My favorite hobby is matchmaking. It's a lot easier to do it in movies then in real life because in real life, people don't do what I tell them to do.
It is a violation which has obsessed the tyrants of the twentieth century. They do not want simply to kill their opponents, but to liquidate them, to deny that they have ever existed.
We, to some degree, are like what we are because we inherited certain things from the Greeks and the Romans. One of them that's so striking is the whole area of politics.
