I think if two people love each other, they should be able to get married. That's pretty much simple.
I don't have a caustic sense of humor. What I find funny, that humor comes from a much gentler place.
I was very much a tomboy. I just couldn't do the pink ballet tutus.
I feel like I've come out of this grown up, maybe because I live through the character vicariously and she grows up so much during the course of this story.
There's so much bigotry that needs to be overcome.
My whole thing was, as much as I was inspired by what my parents do, and growing up on film sets, watching that made me really want to do that. I am my own person, and I think that the only thing with the Hemingway name is that it has gotten me in the door.
I'm as vain as the next person, but I've made so much fun of myself over the years, and that's very salutary as you grow older.
I love playing and working on music. It is something that I feel really lucky to be able to spend my life doing. And I don't sleep much!
We all have a hungry heart, and one of the things we hunger for is happiness. So as much as I possibly could, I stayed where I was happy.
In many countries, when I gave the name 'Rap Monster,' I often heard that it was 'too much.'
Pretty much every night of their lives, my 8-year-old sons have absorbed themselves entirely in books. As toddlers, they pointed out pictures, made conjectures; lately, we find them in their bunk beds embarked upon two-hour comic-reading benders.
Working at Pixar you learn the really honest, hard way of making a great movie, which is to surround yourself with people who are much smarter than you, much more talented than you, and incite constructive criticism; you'll get a much better movie out of it.
I've worked on movies that are being rewritten as you go, but you take so long and so much time doing it, that it's not really an issue knowing what's going to happen or how the movie is going to end.
I gathered as much reading material about Aung San Suu Kyi and about Burma as I could. And I read every article and every book she had written. I also had 200 hours of footage of her to watch. I tried to discover who were her heroes and where he desire and strength to pursue democracy in a non-violent fashion came from.
We sincerely believed that we don't tax too little in Washington. We spend too much.
I had what you could call a chaotic childhood. My parents divorced when I was 2; I went back and forth between my mom's and dad's houses for years. But, you know, my parents tried to do the right thing. As crazy as everything was, and as much fighting and everything, there was always a feeling of support from them.
There is as much greatness of mind in acknowledging a good turn, as in doing it.
For the first time in my life I'm really happy to be unattached because I realise there is so much responsibility to having a partner.
Most good roles are written for young men. We are fixated on youth. So however much people say there is nothing wrong with being bald, the reality is once the hair is gone, you might not get the parts.
When I'm out on the football field, I have so much confidence in what I'm doing.
I think being biracial is a different experience. I think that, and coming from the U.K., I feel as much white as I do black. And so it's really important for me to address these issues of identity in my work. But also, you know, we're always stronger when we work on, you know, what we have in common. And I love exploring that in my work.
Regardless of the cultural system, social pressure to appear straight seems to be fairly intense cross-culturally. Indeed, one is inclined to wonder, if being straight is just natural, why does it require quite so much policing?
Happiness? A good cigar, a good meal, a good cigar and a good woman - or a bad woman; it depends on how much happiness you can handle.
I think being on a constraint with money makes you much more creative.
On one hand, it seems strange that a country that has suffered so much from violence and war would be debating if they want peace or not. But in Colombia, a part of society is deeply connected with the war as a means of making a living.
Bringing my two children up while writing was just a part of life. I'd much rather have had their interruptions than been stuck in a sterile office. This way, I had welcome distractions. I had to load the washing machine, I had to go out and buy lemons.
I think the culture of the red carpet is too much like a modern-day coliseum. If you're being photographed all the time, and you don't like having a bad photograph taken, and if you're super, super thin, chances are you're never going to look fat in a picture.
I'm not interested in censorship. I like the First Amendment very much.
I'm very interested in writing - it just takes so much discipline, whether it's short stories or novels.
We plutocrats need to get this trickle-down economics thing behind us: this idea that the better we do, the better everyone else will do. It's not true. How could it be? I earn 1,000 times the median wage, but I do not buy 1,000 times as much stuff, do I?
Without a Prospero-Caliban relationship to balance the Prospero-Ariel one, 'The Tempest' loses much of its resonance.
Every point in your career is a learning lesson - I learned a lot about how much work is required to grow a user base and create a new product. I also learned that things take time and extreme hard work and passion.
Wealth after all is a relative thing since he that has little and wants less is richer than he that has much and wants more.
When I started in the business years ago, people would always say, 'You better get as much work as you can now, because once you get over 40, it's over.'
I personally don't like school, but you have to do it if you want to get through life, so pretty much I put up with it.
I love the music business very much.
