The value of experience is not in seeing much, but in seeing wisely.
I think the kind of landscape that you grew up in, it lives with you. I don't think it's true of people who've grown up in cities so much; you may love a building, but I don't think that you can love it in the way that you love a tree or a river or the colour of the earth; it's a different kind of love.
Directing my own writing, I see that I talk way too much, and everything can happen much sooner, with much less said about it.
I have some close friends I keep in touch with. I knit. I watch a little too much TV. I ski, if the weather's right for that. If I can find a group of buddies, I go rock climbing.
I do not pretend to write much of a letter. You know under what circumstances I am writing.
There's so much to learn about acting and performance in general... I mean, acting is a very complex art, and there are a lot more theories and methods and techniques to it than I think anybody would think.
I would much rather be a better mother or better human being than I would be a singer. Fortunately for me singing makes me a living.
You know, I think that allowing somebody, one mere person to believe that he or she is like, the vessel you know, like the font and the essence and the source of all divine, creative, unknowable, eternal mystery is just a smidge too much responsibility to put on one fragile, human psyche. It's like asking somebody to swallow the sun.
It's so funny how it's impossible for an American actor to play an English part or an Australian part. But by all means, come and bastardize our accent as much as you want.
Sometimes I wonder if there is something about my family which invites violence. 'Is it envy,' you ask? I don't know... I've had so much, a son as president, two as senators, a son-in-law who's an ambassador... perhaps God doesn't permit that much.
Technology is so much fun but we can drown in our technology. The fog of information can drive out knowledge.
To put on a corset properly is as much of an art as to make a corset properly.
In the 1960s, people were trying to get away from the pop song format. Tracks were getting longer, or much, much shorter.
You know, to address crowds and make promises does not require very much brains.
Everyone has things that they don't love about themselves but I think that as a woman its much healthier and more positive to focus on your good parts and the things you like about yourself, not pick yourself apart.
I had started to feel that somewhere in the second half of the 20th century, the idea of page-turning as a good thing had been lost. You were getting books that were the equivalent of absolutely beautifully prepared dishes of food that didn't taste like anything much.
I don't like shopping that much. I do it for an hour, and then I feel empty inside and weird.
I have written too much history to have faith in it; and if anyone thinks I'm wrong, I am inclined to agree with him.
I'm much faster now. When you only have a certain amount of time to write, after a while you learn to use your time well or you stop writing.
I would rather do movies because I'm very lazy and the hours are much easier.
After a long, impartial enquiry of the truth, and after much and earnest calling upon God, to give unto me the spirit and revelation in the knowledge of Him, I find myself obliged, both by the principles of reason and Scripture, to embrace the opinion I now hold forth.
I honestly don't listen to a lot of music - I spend so much time working at my own music.
Sometimes with anger you can be much more dangerous than with skill.
My skin gets so dry and chapped, and the second I get off the plane, I apply so much sunscreen.
This country has so much wealth and so much poverty, and that seemed wrong to me. 'Evicted' was my Ph.D. dissertation.
Women have become stronger, and there's a backlash. Men have become terribly possessive. I find it much easier to get on with women.
People vote for the president, not the vice president. I think sometimes people that are in the veepstakes talk too much about this and certainly the media does. I don't think that it's that important.
All performances are different. I don't think it's necessary to compare one with another. I am just me playing the role of Lear. You're bound to get a Holm approach to it, whatever that may be. I just got out there and did it. I'm very much a doer in my acting.
Nolan Ryan is pitching much better now that he has his curve ball straightened out.
I think parents are probably really excited for their kids and want to give them everything. But there should be a limit on how much you give your kids. Because kids are quite creative, especially at a young age when they don't really know what rules are.
Comic-Con is so much fun.
I wasn't the student body this, student body that. I was not much into running for office.
I used to be very controlling with visuals and editing, and I would pretty much craft the performances; now I have learned to trust the material and the actors.
In many ways, it was much, much harder to get the first book contract. The hardest thing probably overall has been learning not to trust people, publicists and so forth, implicitly.
I was much entertained last summer with a tame bat, which would take flies out of a person's hand.
I am much more intelligent than you think.
