It isn't the mountains ahead to climb that wear you out; it's the pebble in your shoe.
After losing Dad, there was the idea that none of us have forever. It really affects you. It makes you want to live each day as if it's your last.
You got to like your work. You have got to like what you are doing, you have got to be doing something worthwhile so you can like it - because it is worthwhile, that it makes a difference, don't you see?
To be totally honest with you, I'm so happy to be alive every day.
The pretty fellows you speak of, I own entertain me sometimes, but is it impossible to be diverted with what one despises? I can laugh at a puppet show, at the same time I know there is nothing in it worth my attention or regard.
I really feel like the gift is also the curse. It's always half-and-half. Whatever brings you the most joy will also probably bring you the most pain. Always a price to pay.
You can do anything you want to do. You have to work hard, you have to create your own luck, and you have to have some luck also.
We believed it was better to pay as you go than it was to pay your bills by borrowing and laying up debts for another day. To pay as you go, that policy is a safer business policy and a saner business policy, and we thought it was a saner national policy.
As a leader, you need to care deeply, deeply about your people while not worrying or really even caring about what they think about you. Managing by trying to be liked is the path to ruin.
You want everybody to like your work, but when you look at what's fashionable or trendy, it's pretty obvious that I don't exactly fit.
Don't let other people tell you what you want.
It's harder to be a success, globally, and be artistic. Harder to have that balance than just to be artistic when nobody understands you.
Wherever you go in the history of America, there have been Black people making contributions, but their contributions have been obscured, lost, buried.
Today you have something like A Film by Joe Harry. That is patently asinine and ridiculous.
If you're an underdog, mentally disabled, physically disabled, if you don't fit in, if you're not as pretty as the others, you can still be a hero.
Your best creative assets do not occur unless you do a mental shift. You have to be in a positive frame of mind because inspiration is fleeting. I walk to work for inspiration and to clear my mind.
You got to have smelt a lot of mule manure before you can sing like a hillbilly.
Self-worth comes from one thing - thinking that you are worthy.
All morons hate it when you call them a moron.
You know, I'm fairly intelligent, but I don't think my grades reflected that.
You have to go back to the '30s and '40s to see a film that's any good.
You've got to make yourself happy. I'm a happy person naturally.
We believe in a government that trusts people and doesn't limit where you finish because of where you started.
When you hear in the tape recordings Nixon's own voice saying, We have to stonewall, We have to lie to the Grand Jury, We have to pay burglars a million dollars, it's all too clear the horror of what went on.
If it makes you cry, it goes in the show.
I visited Krakow about 10 years ago, and when you're named Krakowski, you are very welcomed. I loved every minute of it. They had 'Ally McBeal' on Polish TV. People offered to drive us out to our family's farm.
You might not like that Facebook shares your political opinions with Politico, but are you really going to delete all the photos, all the posts, all the connections - the presence you've spent years establishing on the world's dominant social network?
Surrender to life itself and you'll just be rewarded with so many things. And I've been rewarded so many times, in so many mysterious ways. So I have no reason to be disappointed with anything.
I was very pleased that the positive things about me and my game outshone the aggressive style of play I use. I would never tone that down, because I believe in that style of play, and I believe that you can play rough on the court and still be a good sport.
If you only design menus that are essentially junk or fast food, the whole infrastructure supports junk.
Why should you be content with so little? Why shouldn't you reach out for something big?
If you have this enormous talent, it's got you by the balls, it's a demon. You can't be a family man and a husband and a caring person and be that animal. Dickens wasn't that nice a guy.
He was very commanding, and you had to know what you were doing to work for Mr. Rogers. I learned how to ride very quickly with him as my riding teacher.
When I'm not working, I weight train three times a week and swim and surf as much as I can - in the summer, you usually find me in the water.
I would like to say I've achieved goals, but really, modeling is all luck. You're not really achieving anything. The least hardworking person with a special face can be huge and have a whole world of success.
The moment you think of a joke is the best moment.
