One of the things I like about doing historical films is drawing the line between now and then.
It seems like we wake up and it's a race until you get to bed. It gets to you after a while and you think, 'What the hell am I doing?'
If you want to achieve excellence, you can get there today. As of this second, quit doing less-than-excellent work.
The worst of doing one's duty was that it apparently unfitted one for doing anything else.
Kids have been let down by adults - we've tried to give them too much, we've tried not to impose discipline. We've tried to make their lives easier and, in doing so, we've taken something away from them. Kids like boundaries, they also like to be pushed, need to learn what failure is all about, need guidance.
Ohio's doing what it can do, but I wish they'd get their act together in Washington.
More live recording. I have missed the boat over my career by not doing every second or third CD live because things happen onstage that don't happen in the studio.
You're doing it to make the character as specific as possible, so that it's a specific individual that you're talking about, not that whole class of people.
I'm the last person who would end up doing something that needs meticulous compilation of facts. It's totally against my character. I live by impulse. I'm totally ill-suited to writing history books.
I can't imagine myself doing something like 'Narnia' again. I would love to do something with Ridley Scott, you know, some action/adventure or something like that. But I'd also love to do a dramatic piece. It's really just whatever you read and take to.
I guess I had fun doing it but it has hard memories for me.
It's nice to know that what you're doing is being read and enjoyed by a good deal of people.
If working remotely is such a great idea, why isn't everyone doing it? I think it's because we've been bred on the idea that work happens from 9 to 5, in offices and cubicles. It's no wonder that most who are employed inside that model haven't considered other options, or resist the idea that it could be any different. But it can.
All of us want to have meaning in our lives and want to feel like we're doing something that makes a difference. I believe we're doing that in the Justice Department.
Conversion is a very, very important part of what you are doing. We will have a responsibility to report to Heavenly Father regarding those we bring into the Church.
The thing you realize as you get older is that parents don't know what the Hell they're doing and neither will you when you get to be a parent.
The attack on the transgender troops - disgusting, disgraceful, outrageous. It's just endless. And then you try to do your day job of finding good bipartisan work across the aisle... You're doing both all the time. I guess I would describe it as intense. Everything is very intense.
I'm not a lyric writer to make statements. What I enjoy doing is making paintings with lyrics, creating colorful images. I think that's more what entertainment and music should be.
Those who want to be serious photographers, you're really going to have to edit your work. You're going to have to understand what you're doing. You're going to have to not just shoot, shoot, shoot. To stop and look at your work is the most important thing you can do.
I started out as an artist, and what I do is verbal paintings. I paint a picture. Hopefully, you'll see the characters and what they're doing and what they're saying.
What I'm doing is a natural wonder. If not, there'd be 150 people behind me on the wire.
My mother told me to raise my kids with calculated neglect. They get their self-worth from doing what they can do and not having everything done for them.
Young people are forced to mature sooner now than in the '40s. I was doing things at age 14 that guys in the movie were just beginning to do at 16 and 17.
I'm very happy with this new record. It's dealing with different aspects of love-it's me making a statement about people doing something with their lives. It is about caring for others.
I really enjoy doing sitcom television. It allows me to stay in Los Angeles and spend more time with my husband and kids.
Success is a journey, not a destination. The doing is often more important than the outcome.
When I think about actors I know, I'd much rather hear about who they're shagging than what film they're doing next.
I really enjoyed doing Albee's 'The Goat.' It's a powerful piece and a really exciting play to do.
No one in my family had a retail or marketing background. They were professionals. They didn't understand just what I was doing by going into retailing. After I started, though, it got into my blood. I knew this was what I wanted.
I have ADD or something. Even when I am doing something, it's me on the computer, I'm painting and I'm writing music. I have to rotate what I'm doing every 15 minutes.
All we have to do is find something we love doing each day, surround ourselves with like-minded people, and put all of our effort into that one thing at all times.
Unless you're involved with thinking about what you're doing, you end up doing the same thing over and over, and that becomes tedious and, in the end, defeating.
If you're trying to make a recipe that you're not even going to bother tasting, you're doing something wrong.
What I feel I am doing now is giving to the people exactly what they paid for but never actually heard before.
I'm perfectly happy doing nothing. I'll hang around the house and take the dog to the park.
You know that I'm always a proponent of doing things differently.
