I've been around a long time, so I guess I've touched a lot of people's lives - hopefully for the better.
While the political debate over abortion will continue for a very long time, the federal government can and should be doing more to support programs and services that provide women with better options.
One night, I lay awake for hours, just terrified. When the dawn finally came up - the comfortable blue sky, the familiar world returning - I could think of no other way to express my relief than through poetry. I made a decision there and then that it was what I wanted to do. Every time I pulled a wishbone, it was what I asked for.
I've been watching what I eat. When I was putting on all the weight, I was drinking Guinness and not eating. I didn't have room to because I was drinking all the time.
I like to sing. I write music. Country songs. You have to if you're in Nashville. It's part of the lease. You sign a lease that says, I will write country songs and pay my rent on time.
Even before I auditioned for 'X Factor' the second time, I was doing a lot of dance music.
Acting in film, you know, I hear all the time, people say 'You did so much better than I thought you would.' So there's an added element of surprise in film, different than in music.
It is not worth an intelligent man's time to be in the majority. By definition, there are already enough people to do that.
If we fix a goal and work towards it, then we are never just passing time.
I saw that the war could not be prevented. The time had passed.
Artists are the people that no matter what, pick up the pen, pick up a paintbrush. They take the time to translate what is happening to create something that resonates deeply with the rest of the people that are caught in the middle of their own reality.
Just going along with this, what I did, or what I do is I imagine not being myself seeing it, but imagine somebody else who's seeing it for the first time.
But a city is more than a place in space, it is a drama in time.
I saw B.B. King in concert one time where he had this guy that would bring him out a glass of water and towel to wipe his forehead with.
George Clooney is exactly what you would expect. He's annoyingly good looking, insanely funny, and super smart. So you just feel really inferior around him all the time. You end up feeling really bad about yourself, but you walk away feeling really great about George Clooney.
I have a very difficult time describing my music. Because I run into people in the hardware store and they go, 'Oh, you're a musician. So what kind of music do you play?' And I go, 'Uh, I've been doin' this for many years - I don't know what to call it.'
Now is a time where there are so many social networks, such need for validation... you don't have to be a star or a politician to want to have likes or dislikes. Now there is a disease of popularity in the whole society.
I get really excited every time there's a female character who is really strong because a lot of females in film are really soft.
When I start doing movies, that'll be the time to pack Vine in. Quit when you're on top. Be the king.
Ice cream was my undoing, and six chocolate milk shakes in a row were nothing to me at one time.
One can't judge Wagner's opera Lohengrin after a first hearing, and I certainly don't intend to hear it a second time.
At the same time, television theatre became more visibly active.
Let all the time you can get be spent in trying to learn to read.
It's easy not to bribe. But it's not so easy to keep a business running at the same time.
Unfortunately for me, I was one of these people who took a long time to learn that the material at his feet was fine.
From the time that I can remember, I worked to make money - either baby-sitting, or one year wrapping gifts at a department store at Christmas, so I could have my own money.
I really wanted to be a musician, but it turned out I had no sense of time.
My limits are limitless. I find my limits every time I act.
I am not allowed to be afraid. My mother made me like that. As a child, if I was afraid of the dark, she would lock me in the closet. Things like this. And she would talk about the time she spent in the concentration camp, but not about being afraid, only about the good side of it.
On a job, there's so much commitment you have to give, in regards to time, research... I like the tunnel vision of it that prevents anything else from getting in. The creativity and collaboration required there is very rewarding.
There is one criticism which cannot be leveled at interparliamentary conferences but which is applicable to a great extent to peace congresses: the meetings waste time.
It's time to save the U.N. from its own scandals and mismanagement. It's time for U.N. Reform with teeth.
The Hollywood business has been experiencing continual change since about 1915, when Charlie Chaplin was in Venice. The current time is no exception... You have to accept there will be constant change in the future.
As the father of two daughters, the ongoing struggle for women's equality is very personal for me. That's why it has been an honor during my time in Congress to support women's rights by advocating for reproductive rights, equal pay, access to paid maternity leave and quality child care.
You'd have to spend a lot of time with me before I'd be comfortable enough to show my dark side.
I don't possess a lot of self-confidence. I'm an actor so I simply act confident every time I hit the stage.
