I went to the doctor recently and she actually prescribed that I go out for ten minutes a day, I'm so depleted on vitamin D.
Sometimes films have no rehearsals - you don't have real rehearsals on the set because the day is so dominated by the schedule.
Sometimes I write less than I'd like but do research. Other times, editor's notes or a copy-edited manuscript or page proofs for a forthcoming novel mean that I need to put my attentions elsewhere for a day or two, but I always come back to writing.
It wasn't that I couldn't write. I wrote every day. I actually worked really hard at writing. At my desk by 7 A.M., would work a full eight and more. Scribbled at the dinner table, in bed, on the toilet, on the No. 6 train, at Shea Stadium. I did everything I could. But none of it worked.
I live in my head all day long and the world is a little dreamy.
I think that technology - computers and smart phones and 24-hour availability - often leaves me, and others I know, feeling blank and depressed at the end of a day. I also believe that hyped expectations for raising children leaves many women and men feeling as if their days are a blur of carpools and play-groups and tutors.
A woman never forgets her sex. She would rather talk with a man than an angel, any day.
Certainly what happened to the dinosaurs was not good - that was a terrible day for the dinosaurs, very sad. But I have to say, there are a lot of threats we face as people and, as someone who lives in Los Angeles, I'm personally more likely to die from driving on the freeway than I am from an asteroid, so you have to put that risk in perspective.
I think life would be so much funnier if every day you saw someone walking down the street getting hit in the head by a monkey, don't you?
Haute couture is a legitimate subject for Yves Saint Laurent and could resume one day.
Growing up in New York, I was sort of shocked when I realized that my children are Californians. They are 14 years old, and I explain to them frequently that they will never realize the glory of a snow day. You wake up and the world says, 'Oops, it's too much fun to go to school, you've got to stay home and deal with the snow!'
I am tired of our characters being so incomplete. When do we ever save the day in a film? When does a Latino actor get to be the hero?
Working 14 hours a day until you're 55 and missing your kids growing up is not what I would consider a recipe for happiness.
When it came time to be a professional rapper, I wouldn't sign anything without reading it. There was no way I was going to have people make decisions for me or wake up one day and find that I was broke because I never bothered to read a contract.
Body image is something that girls struggle with every day, and it's something that I struggle with every day.
When, over fifty years ago, I first became interested in economics - as a discipline that provided the key to social structure and social problems - it never crossed my mind that one day I might be the honored recipient of a Nobel Memorial Prize.
At the end of the day, you are judged by your character. And look, I'm proud of my record of working to help people throughout my years of public service.
I went to high schools in four different countries. The gift is that you can constantly reinvent yourself. I still feel that freedom. One day, I'll wear a dress I got in India; the next, Converse sneakers and jeans.
I struggle with myself every day - I am a lonesome person. I talk to my family - and I connect to some people deeply along the way - but I am a restless soul. Singing is the most immediate relief.
If you heard 40 times in a day that Newt Gingrich takes the wings off of butterflies, eventually you'd believe it.
I genuinely want to do my best every day, and I genuinely want to enjoy life every day.
Ninety percent of the day is working out. Sometimes I get my nails done and go to the grocery store.
I just realized one day that I was so unhappy. And not only that, but I didn't even like the person that I was. I didn't even know who I was. And so 'Shatter Me' is about first discovering what was under the shell and then learning to love that person that was under it. And then not being afraid to break free.
AOL Instant Messenger was a big thing back in the day, where girls would get on it and make fun of me. There was a certain girl, and she wanted to make me feel bad.
I was constantly looking for things outside of myself to make me feel good, and I think now that feeling can come from the inside, and that's why I meditate now twice a day.
I'm not really a fan of Valentine's Day. I think it can be romantic doing nothing on Valentine's Day. It's more romantic than being given a big bunch of flowers that everyone else is doing.
Just smiling at someone walking down the street can make the person's day. It's all about paying it forward.
I liken myself to someone who built the house he will live in one day and is preparing to furnish it.
I grew up in the West End, so my whole background was living among theatres and musicals and the West End's coffee bars and clubs. It's kind of obvious that one day I should do something like that.
There is a myth that writers get to choose their stories. You don't get to choose your story any more than you get to choose your children. You can make the decision to write, but beyond that, at the end of the day, it's going to come out how it's going to come out.
Running my show is really like an actor being in repertory but where, in one day in one performance, you do scenes from a drama, a farce, a low comedy and a tragedy.
I've gotten pretty good at leaving characters on the set. I go home and try to relax and regroup and be ready for the next day.
Growing up I never imagined a little girl from a border town could one day become a governor. But this is America. In America algo es possible.
When a man leaves you notes saying he loves you, or asks how your day was - and then listens - you feel special.
It's not like we grew up hanging around in church every day. We'll always stick to what we feel is right for us to do, and I don't think either of us have had a hard time saying, 'This is who I am, and I'm fine with it.'
While producing art works, illusions appear from time to time due to my mental illness. Every day is a struggle for me.
