Sometimes you feel bad about yourself when there's no reason to.

One of the processes of your life is to constantly break down that inferiority, to constantly reaffirm that I Am Somebody.

I'm attracted to long-legged girls with long arms and a little head.

Money is a never-ending problem.

In this business, life is one long fund-raising effort.

Nothing personal; I just don't have people over.

My lasting impression of Truman Capote is that he was a terribly gentle, terribly sensitive, and terribly sad man.

Sometimes you feel bad about yourself when there's no reason to.

We still spend more time chasing funds than we do in the studio in creative work.

I always want more.

I always want to have more dancers in my company.

It will take very sophisticated marketing to achieve our aim of bringing more black people into the theater.

Dance is for everybody. I believe that the dance came from the people and that it should always be delivered back to the people.

The creative process is not controlled by a switch you can simply turn on or off; it's with you all the time.

Choreography is mentally draining, but there's a pleasure in getting into the studio with the dancers and the music.

Lena Horne is the sweetest and most adorable woman in the world.

I am trying to show the world that we are all human beings and that color is not important. What is important is the quality of our work.

One of the worst things about racism is what it does to young people.

If you live in the elite world of dance, you find yourself in a world rife with racism. Let's face it.

Racism tears down your insides so that no matter what you achieve, you're not quite up to snuff.

No matter what you write or choreograph, you feel it's not enough.

My feelings about myself have been terrible.

Men live by intervals of reason under the sovereignty of humor and passion.

Our supporters support us for one reason, people pray for us for one reason - because of the healing ministry.

Eloquence, at its highest pitch, leaves little room for reason or reflection, but addresses itself entirely to the desires and affections, captivating the willing hearers, and subduing their understanding.

In fact, it is a farce to call any being virtuous whose virtues do not result from the exercise of its own reason.

One reason so few of us achieve what we truly want is that we never direct our focus; we never concentrate our power. Most people dabble their way through life, never deciding to master anything in particular.

Reason and judgment are the qualities of a leader.

There is no rational reason to doubt that the universe has existed indefinitely, for an infinite time. It is only myth that attempts to say how the universe came to be, either four thousand or twenty billion years ago.

It's clear to me that there is no good reason for many philosophy books to sound as complicated as they do.

When Frank the Pug is singing I Will Survive, the only reason it's funny is that Will is in that shot trying not to get angry. A shot of a dog singing I Will Survive on its own will not get a laugh.

Obviously I faced the possibility of not returning when first I considered going. Once faced and settled there really wasn't any good reason to refer to it.

I'll not listen to reason... reason always means what someone else has got to say.

The reason it has relevance is because I, as a popular Arab personality - the Arab people like me and respect me - thought it was time for me to make an ever so tiny statement about what I thought about this whole thing.

What is guilt? Guilt is the pledge drive constantly hammering in our heads that keeps us from fully enjoying the show. Guilt is the reason they put the articles in Playboy.

But there is no obvious reason for holding that some normal adults are entitled to make choices for other normal adults, as paternalists of both left and right believe.

Words are the children of reason and, therefore, can't explain it. They really can't translate feeling because they're not part of it. That's why it bugs me when people try to analyze jazz as an intellectual theorem. It's not. It's feeling.

Being a father, well, I don't know if this is a change, but it makes me want to get out of here faster. Get off the clock. Just 'cause the baby is my reason for living, my reason for coming to work.

Strength of mind rests in sobriety; for this keeps your reason unclouded by passion.

I'm really starting to think everything happens for a reason.

I don't know nothing about communism. But I know the Albanians loved me. Same reason as anyone else loves me. Because I made them laugh.

Common sense should tell us that there is no reason for civilians to have access to easily concealable handguns with the capability to shoot through body armor.

I would never jeopardize classified information to be brought out to the public. This information is all open source. There is no reason to worry about classification. It is simply an attempt by bureaucrats to cover their rear ends.

Every day some new fact comes to light - some new obstacle which threatens the gravest obstruction. I suppose this is the reason which makes the game so well worth playing.

The President had every reason to believe that the text presented to him was sound... These 16 words should never have been included in the text written for the president.

Liking one person is an extra reason for liking another.

I recommend the same therapies for all humans with HIV. There is no reason to believe that physiologic responses to therapy will vary across lines of class, culture, race or nationality.

I think things happened the way they did for a reason.
