Yellow usually means it's not that serious.

Success is where preparation and opportunity meet.

Yellow usually means it's not that serious.

Nobody remembers who finished second but the guy who finished second.

I feel honesty always works.

Desire! That's the one secret of every man's career. Not education. Not being born with hidden talents. Desire.

Soaps are great. You learn to work very fast - some say superficially, but that's not really true. You do some very serious character work. I've never had any feelings about a stigma attached to it, and nowadays there seems to be less snobbery about what you do. More and more big names are doing TV and commercials and voiceovers.

You do it a day at a time. You write as well as you can, you put it in the mail, you leave it under submission, you never leave it at home.

When African-Americans come to France, the French show them more consideration than they would show an African or a Black Caribbean. When African-Americans come to France, the French people are like, 'Oh, wow. Oh my God.' But if it's an African, they're like, 'Whatever.' It's all because of the past, because of our history.

Be yourself. Be true to that to your heart. Patience. See what happens if you step back instead of bounding forward.

Champagne and orange juice is a great drink. The orange improves the champagne. The champagne definitely improves the orange.

You don't quit because you happen to be behind. You want to see how you do. And who knows? Maybe somebody will stumble.

I always make a decision, even if it's the wrong one. I hate being confused.

I am totally a fringe candidate, and so is Bill Weld: you know, two Republican governors serving in heavily blue states, outspoken, small government guys, outspoken on the social liberal side. We're fringe, totally. We're fringe.

When we opened our eyes, we saw bedrock exposed in the walls of the crater.

I don't know many South Africans who don't have their eyes wide open to what it's like to be exposed to some sort of violence. The question is whether we choose to be cynical about it or not.

The reason why we struggle with insecurity is because we compare our behind the scenes with everyone else's highlight reel.

My death will be caused by morphine, which I have deliberately taken with suicidal intent.

If Islam's sole interest is the welfare of mankind, then Islam is the strongest advocate of human rights anywhere on Earth.

You know, as you compose music, you're just off in your own world. You have no idea where reality is, so to have an idea of what people think is pretty hard.

Think about spam filters; if email didn't come from someone that someone you know knows, that's an important signal, and one we could embed in the environment; we just don't. I just want the world to be filtered through my social graph.

It is a belief of the mediocre that extreme effort kills.

Remember today is the tomorrow you worried about yesterday.

A diamond doesn't start out polished and shining. It once was nothing special, but with enough pressure and time, becomes spectacular. I'm that diamond.

Self-consciousness isn't just A curse. It is part of THE curse.

I'm obsessed with broccoli, carrots, celery, string beans, snap peas, black kale, brussels sprouts, cabbage - I could go on! They used to call me 'rabbit' when I was a kid. I hate mushrooms, though. I apologize to fungi lovers, but this way, there's more for you!

I didn't know how to box so I would have looked like a complete street fighter actually, but what we did have to do was pick up some sides and then just memorize them within two days and go there and audition.

Well, it gives, certainly to my father, who is the one that suffered the most in our family, and understanding of how the ideals of a country are only as good as the people who give it flesh and blood.

I don't have this fantasy about marriage anymore. Everyone says it takes hard work. Well, it kind of does - and I'm much more pragmatic about romance than I used to be.

Rain is good for vegetables, and for the animals who eat those vegetables, and for the animals who eat those animals.
