One of the reasons people stop learning is that they become less and less willing to risk failure.

There are no seasons anymore. Fashion has become one long run-on sentence.
I was just a young guy who was excited to become a comedian and an actor and I just wanted to get to do what I got to do.
The way I become friends with somebody is a slow process. You can't just spill your guts and tell them everything about yourself and expect them to listen and understand you because you don't know them. It's the same thing with a relationship.

I try not to think about anything special while running. As a matter of fact, I usually run with my mind empty. However, when I run empty-minded, something naturally and abruptly crawls in sometime. That might become an idea that can help me with my writing.
As Oscar Wilde should have said, when bad ideas have nowhere else to go, they emigrate to America and become university courses.

As a bull market turns into a bear market, the new pros turn into optimists, hoping and praying the bear market will become a bull and save them.

I think the problem I have with films is that, because there's so much hype around them, they become bigger than they should be, really.

As a member of the Democratic Women's Working Group and Co-Chair of the Congressional Seniors Task Force, I will keep fighting for women's rights until they are completely secured.

You know what has made me the happiest I've ever been? Seeing my son and daughter graduate from college. More than wanting them to be educated, I wanted them to be nice people. To see that they have become both is just a wonderful thing.
Who are we? Whom do we want to become? How do we perceive ourselves? How do we want to be perceived? These questions of identity are often at the core of our own internal struggles. Resolve them, and you are closer to being free.
