'Boys of Summer,' to me, is like the end of the summer, man. That heartbreaking feeling where you have to go back to school, your summer love is coming to an end, and the leaves are changing. That was always such an emotional time for me as a kid, because I loved summer so much.
Film is a collective experience, as you know.
You know all these stadiums that U2 are playing? I've played in them. And I'm building up to it again.
It's amazing the things you hear from your players talking to them one on one. I never embarrassed a player, I spoke with him alone.
You must accept that you might fail; then, if you do your best and still don't win, at least you can be satisfied that you've tried. If you don't accept failure as a possibility, you don't set high goals, you don't branch out, you don't try - you don't take the risk.
I definitely like the mystery of not knowing how things will turn out, you know.
A rock musician's career is short-lived. To extend it, you need to do other things to keep yourself fresh.
In any job, you can come under attack or have a door slammed in your face. You do want to listen to critics; you don't want to be in a cocoon and never change. Get a second opinion from coworkers and friends. Know that criticism can be valid, but don't take it personally.
If you want to help Africa, you should help them out of poverty, not try to build solar cells and windmills.
I certainly grew up seeing more movies and television than I read books, but when it came time to do the thing itself you don't have to hire a lot of people to sit down and write a book, so that was the story-telling medium that was available to me.
I think that's why you see so many Americans in Dublin look so sad: they are looking for the door through which they can begin to understand this place. I tell them, 'Go to the races.' I think it's the best place to start understanding the Irish.
Terrorism is you winning hearts and minds of people.
You do T.V. and movies to make the money, and then you do theatre for the love of it.
We will talk to the CIFAS members, financial institutions, about the possibility of closing accounts of people who have no right to be here. If you're going to create a hostile environment for illegal migrants... access to financial services is part of that.
You cannot fight against the future. Time is on our side.
I have worked alone and with a cast and enjoy the process both ways. There is more back-and-forth with a full cast, and you can feed off the other actors' performance.
We have been waiting for you so that we could turn over the government.
Nobody likes to hear it, because it's dull, but the reason you win or lose is darn near always the same - pitching.
When you are an actor, rejection and disappointment are an occupational hazard.
I believe that you should gravitate to people who are doing productive and positive things with their lives.
I believe that no one can teach you how to act, but schools do give you an environment to make mistakes, to learn techniques and to learn professionalism.
There's a way in which you can look at clothing as your outer skin. And because you were discriminated against because of your complexion, the way in which you could overcome that was through the way in which you presented yourself with your clothing.
You can work hard to sharpen your talent, to get better at whatever it is that you do, and I think that's what it comes back to.
I'm one of the strongest advocates for the arts you'll ever find!
I can't relate to lazy people. We don't speak the same language. I don't understand you. I don't want to understand you.
You still can't find Israel on a map of the Middle East in a Palestinian schoolbook.
I'm a big fan of domino masks, like Zorro, or Robin. You could put a domino mask on anything, and it becomes a superhero. You put a domino mask on a milkman, and he becomes, like, Super Milkman.
Being a football manager is no fun at all. You have to put up with all the hassle. It is not surprising that so many turn grey or have heart attacks.
The first tenet is that you should report corruption regardless of loyalty to incumbent or party.
'Plum's are probably the funniest, but all the books have their own degree of humor. But if you're hooked into 'Ranger,' you're reading it for the romance.
You win the presidency by connecting with the American people's gut insecurities and aspirations. You win with a concept.
Sitting on a bedroom floor crying is something that makes you feel really alone. If someone's singing about that feeling, you feel bonded to that person. That's the only way I can find an explanation for why 55,000 people would want to come see me sing.
I don't tend to be a nitpicker when I'm watching movies, so as long as something is true to the spirit of the original, that's very much what we got for. You try to never do something that the original author wouldn't have done themselves.
Generally I don't care about what people say. I have to be clear with myself. When everything goes well, people celebrate you, when you make mistakes people criticize you.
When you're too relaxed it's not good to create.
You know how exasperated you can be when you're the mother of five young boys.
