You as an audience can look at these things as films, but I remember them as social experiences.
I've been camping and stuff, but if you left me in the woods I'd probably just curl up and cry until someone found me.
To be honest, I owned one suit before I filmed 'Mad Men' - the one suit that you have to have as an adult. Outside of that, I never really felt comfortable in a suit.
I look just like the girls next door... if you happen to live next door to an amusement park.
There is no quick easy way to the body you want... commit yourself now to your workout and get started.
If you're white and you're wrong, then you're wrong; if you're black and you're wrong, you're wrong. People are people. Black, blue, pink, green - God make no rules about color; only society make rules where my people suffer, and that why we must have redemption and redemption now.
I think, if you can prove the existence of God, it can only be proven through love.
Have a bias toward action - let's see something happen now. You can break that big plan into small steps and take the first step right away.
Life's most persistent and urgent question is, 'What are you doing for others?'
Science cannot tell theology how to construct a doctrine of creation, but you can't construct a doctrine of creation without taking account of the age of the universe and the evolutionary character of cosmic history.
During bad circumstances, which is the human inheritance, you must decide not to be reduced. You have your humanity, and you must not allow anything to reduce that. We are obliged to know we are global citizens. Disasters remind us we are world citizens, whether we like it or not.
I think pain is a very - it's an extremely hard thing to empathize moment to moment. And you often don't remember your own pain, you know, that moment that you broke a limb or you burned yourself or, I think, this is a common thing that women talk about with childbirth, that the memory of the pain is hard to summon up and relive, thankfully.
You must avoid sloth, that wicked siren.
Life is anything that dies when you stomp on it.
The fun of writing established characters is that there's a rich mythology to draw from - you get to play with toys you loved as a kid.
There's nothing masculine about being competitive. There's nothing masculine about trying to be the best at everything you do, nor is there anything wrong with it. I don't know why a female athlete has to defend her femininity just because she chooses to play sports.
There's a certain cruelty to being on a big screen as your eyelids start to sag and your hair falls out and turns gray that you either have to be able to handle or not. What you can't do is try to force yourself into roles that you could have played or would have played ten years earlier.
I remember playing a high school basketball game where I didn't eat anything for breakfast. I ate, you know, like a PB and J and some chips for lunch and nothing before the game. I didn't make it through the first quarter. I wish I hadn't have learned that way, but it did leave a lasting impression.
Film is much more of a brand business, whereas on Broadway, you can do complete unknowns and have hits.
Art is commenting on what's going on around you in your life.
You could have two completely different careers if you could stay healthy to 90. How fascinating that would be.
One advantage that I think Slack has for most people who use it is, you pull out your phone, you look at the home screen, there's the Slack icon. You know when you tap this one, it's all the people you work with, and it's only the people you work with. And that's a big advantage.
When you have an accident, they will save their own people, and those who have worked with you or with the NGOs are left. Unfortunately, this happens always. It is not an excuse at all.
When you have a kid, money matters.
I got into trouble a while ago for saying that I thought the internet led to increased literacy - people scolded me about the shocking grammar to be found online - but I was talking about fundamentals: quite simply, you can't use the net unless you can read.
There will be people who don't like you or aren't convinced. I'd rather let my work talk than justify in words.
If you have a good selling idea, your secretary can write your ad for you.
Miserable is a good thing, though. If you start the day miserable, nobody else can screw up your day.
You begin to realize that the genius of our country is the constant push to be more inclusive and find new ways of engaging everyone.
You have to be very specific on the technical part of the acting.
You enter a state of controlled passivity, you relax your grip and accept that even if your declared intention is to justify the ways of God to man, you might end up interesting your readers rather more in Satan.
If someone's going to talk about me, I'd want it to be positively. The way many write, you'd think only bad things were interesting. If we don't think positive, what's the use? It's a lot more fun, you know.
Well, its very exasperating when you can't get it right.
You go through the Civil Rights struggle, everybody knew the songs - 'We shall overcome.' Everybody would sing it. Music helped us. James Brown, 'Say It Loud - I'm Black and I'm Proud.' They helped black people figure out how to navigate what was a very treacherous place in America for them.
You can find more traditional Shakespeare than we do. But what we want to bring to these works is energy, passion, freshness.
In terms of my career, having the gold definitely changed my life. The Olympics are different, you know? They're every four years and it's such a small group.
