Love is what you've been through with somebody.
In a relationship you want to treat people the way you want to be treated.
Your love is not outside; it is deep within you. You can never lose it, and it cannot leave you. It is not dependent on some other body, some external form.
You get educated by traveling.
I collect traditional Aubusson tapestries that you can hang on a wall. The last lot I bought were from an antiques fair in London.
You'd like more people to recognise what you do is special. But I take the attitude that the best thing I can do for my sport is to be the best at it. The best way people will come to recognise that track and field is a great sport is to see athletes excelling at it. Which is what I intend to do.
You have to be happy with yourself first of all - that's the most important thing.
Show me an elitist, and I'll show you a loser.
If you can jump up onstage and make people laugh, shouldn't you also be able to inhabit a character?
You must never aspire to 'finish' a house, you can merely hope to start it, and from then on it's an evolutionary process.
Anyone who's had a tattoo knows once you get your first one, as you're walking out the door, you're planning the next.
One way to think about the magnitude of the changes to come is to think about how you went about your business before powerful Web search engines. You probably wouldn't have imagined that a world of answers would be available to you in under a second. The next set of advances will have an different effect, but similar in magnitude.
The most dangerous thing, when you have a serious mental illness, is convincing yourself that you don't have it. And you see it all the time. People get on medication, and they feel better, and they stop taking it. And some flirt with unreality on some levels. But it feels so convincing to them that it feels real.
You can't legislate sobriety.
When I was about eight, I realised the person whose name was on the book got money for it, and it seemed almost too good to be true that you could get paid for making things up.
Forty is when you actually begin even deserving to be on stage telling people what you think.
When you are pushing yourself to not go back to the same well, you're gonna come up with something different, or you'll find songs that are different.
The grace of God means something like: Here is your life. You might never have been, but you are because the party wouldn't have been complete without you.
You can keep rummaging around until you find a song you like, but you can't predict whether it'll hit or not.
I think one of the defining moments of adulthood is the realization that nobody's going to take care of you. That you have to do the heavy lifting while you're here. And when you don't, well, you suffer the consequences.
You can't stop rock-n-roll!
Mr. Van Buren, your friends may be leaving you but my friends never leave me.
King of England, and you, duke of Bedford, who call yourself regent of the kingdom of France... settle your debt to the king of Heaven; return to the Maiden, who is envoy of the king of Heaven, the keys to all the good towns you took and violated in France.
If you have six corporate centres, six treasuries, six of everything, and then if you bring it down to one of everything, obviously there are some savings.
Money is like manure. You have to spread it around or it smells.
I'm Andrea Thompson, and unless you've been living in a cave, you probably already know that.
I write five pages a day. If you would read five pages a day, we'd stay right even.
I appeal to you, my friends, as mothers: are you willing to enslave your children? You stare back with horror and indignation at such questions. But why, if slavery is not wrong to those upon whom it is imposed?
You better cut the pizza in four pieces because I'm not hungry enough to eat six.
Dancing is about expressing yourself, and the more walls you let down, the better.
You'll find superstition a contagious thing. Some people let it get the better of them.
Don't change on me. Don't extort me unless you intend to do it forever.
When our time's up, it's up. All the money in the world won't buy you one more day.
Get all the fools on your side and you can be elected to anything.
Being my own boss and working inside an industry that's not really an industry, I need to keep busy and keep working. The only way to make money in music - unless you're managing someone - is to tour, and even that depends on where you are at.
You see a child play, and it is so close to seeing an artist paint, for in play a child says things without uttering a word. You can see how he solves his problems. You can also see what's wrong. Young children, especially, have enormous creativity, and whatever's in them rises to the surface in free play.
