Just start might be the only thing you can do. but start becomes the end.

Right now at the moment i am trying to be more motivated. I really am wanting to be more productive through this year.

I feel being more motivated to what i am focusing on will help me a lot. I find being motivated makes me want to finish my work and homework. it makes me want to be more productive and more organised. i have been trying to organize my self and being organised really has helped me and made me feel better about myself.

lately i have been watching tuns of you tube videos on how to be more productive. but what i actually think is rather than taking someone else's advice you listen to your own. following other peoples ways on how to be is more harder than creating your own way.

I think its more harder to try be motivated than actually being motivated. i have always been wanting to be motivated but i found it hard. I would always be distracted and not wanting to do anything. But sometimes i think you just need to be inspired. Or wait for a fresh new start. i've learnt that it takes patience.

I love Polaroids and I have a Polaroid camera collection from the '50s.

I think that the actors that I work with feel safer with me. Because they know I understand what they go through and I don't see them as chess pieces.

If you have to think about whether you love someone or not then the answer is no. When you love someone you just know.

When I look out my window. Many sights to see. And when I look in my window. So many different people to be. That it's strange, so strange.

Art is the path to being spiritual.

We convince by our presence.

The tragedy is that political leaders failed so badly at delivering what Iraqis clearly wanted - and for that, a great deal of responsibility lies with Prime Minister Maliki.

The first real unhappiness I remember to have felt was when some one told me, one day, that I did not love God. I insisted, almost tearfully, that I did; but I was told that if I did truly love Him I should always be good. I knew I was not that, and the feeling of sudden orphanage came over me like a bewildering cloud.

I'm a singer and working on my second album. I write and produce. There is so much more that satisfies me. So there's not just this one ambition to become an American movie star. Because I will never become an American movie star.

Stay on top of your finances. Don't leave that up to others.

Accidents happen, whether they're car accidents, friendly fire, drug overdoses. Accidents happen, and they're tragic. It's like a bomb that goes off and pieces of shrapnel rip into the flesh of the family. It's the families that need the compassion, because everywhere they walk, every day, someone reminds them of their loss.

I just kind of opened up and said, 'I feel like a rag doll. I have hair and makeup people coming to my house every day and putting me in new, uncomfortable, weird dresses and expensive shoes, and I just shut down and raise my arms up for them to get the dress on, and pout my lips when they need to put the lipstick on.'

An administrator in a bureaucratic world is a man who can feel big by merging his non-entity in an abstraction. A real person in touch with real things inspires terror in him.

Music is critical in our lives and culture. It's the inspiration that drives us. It's also the window to our souls. It's a reflection as to who we are, what we stand for and where we're going.

Fish and guests smell after three days

I'm surrounded by nothing but great people. I've been blessed with that, so really, I've got no choice but to be an all-around good person.

No charges have been filed by the L.A. district attorney's office, and for that I am appreciative. I have said it before, but we all make mistakes, and the day will come soon enough where you no longer read of mine in the tabloids.

For a while, the world for me was like a set of monkey bars. I swung from one place to the next, sometimes backward, sometimes forward, capitalizing on my own momentum, knowing that at some point my arms... would give out, and I'd fall to the ground.

In twenty years, the Lottery has raised over $1.4 billion. It has been run successfully and efficiently.

All I thought about when I was a kid was getting my guitar and entertaining people.

It's necessary to be slightly underemployed if you are to do something significant.

A typical day in my writing life starts with looking at pictures of real estate online for at least 20 minutes. If I happen to be actually in the market for a house, I do this for 40 minutes. Then I walk my dog, come back home, and tell myself I can look at real estate for another five minutes.

In the entirety of my life, I have never had an eating disorder.

Cottage cheese solves nothing. Chocolate can do it all.
