When you want something very dearly, you make the time.

When I heard his first songs, Dylan was answering certain questions that I had all my life been asking myself.

I left the table where there were important people and had lunch with my husband and a few friends. The reception was organised in my honour, so it was rather amusing.

When I was very young I was the ugly duckling. I had a lot of complexes. My sister was wonderful and I was nothing.

Once I was condemned to three months' absolute silence. As I could not speak, I wrote a book.

My friends gave me the first songs which was the first food in my soul for me.

Wherever you turn, there is always something wrong with the politicians. They have everything they need to save the world, and they don't save it.

It's nice to look good, but the most important thing is to be you.

I thought it was respectful to each country to sing in their language.

When you want something very dearly, you make the time.

With my songs I tried to prove that there is love.

The secret is to cook the aubergines the day before and let them dry of all the oil they drank in cooking. When you cook aubergine, they eat a lot of oil. It can be very heavy.

One of the most wonderful memories in my life was when I sang at the Opera House in Sydney. I will never forget that. It is one of the most beautiful Houses I have ever sung in my life.

If I was sad or afraid, I would sit in a corner and sing. If I was happy I would jump into the middle of the room and sing. It was how I expressed my emotions.

There were wonderful moments when I was singing for the first time in the Olympia Theatre and I was pregnant with my son, which was very, very strange for a singer.

I do believe that if you haven't learnt about sadness, you cannot appreciate happiness.

When I was singing, everybody liked me.

I like to cook, but mostly Greek. When I am confused or tired, I think about what I can cook. It takes you away from everything, as you are thinking only of your dish.

For my convalescence, I had to exercise my voice only with vowels. It is a medical rule after a long loss of voice.

How you looked was not important. It was what you did and how you did it. Decide to do it and then do it the best way you can.

I think sometimes you are born with a song.

The Berlin Wall go down, that was the most wonderful thing that could happen, absolutely. I celebrated with everybody in Berlin that day when the Wall was down.

I was born a singer. I need to do that.

When I started to work with UNICEF, it was a new way of giving some love and care to the world.

The idea of the European community is never face a war again.

My energy to sing, I get it from my singing. Singing was not a reason to make a living. This is the only thing I wanted to do.

UNICEF has made the most rewarding thing that I have ever done in my life.

Every time I would open my mouth to sing, everybody was paying attention to me. It became a habit.

I grew up thinking that singing was my security.

By Rice's own standards, the war was well underway by the time he took office. He was a war president the moment he took the oath. But did he act like one?

At the end, the realization is that she had to get to a place in her life where she could drop her guard and make peace with the fact that whether she had a small amount of time, that she had to kind of live it completely through, instead of living by the rules.

It will take a long time, and certainly the West will remain the dominant civilization well into the next century, but the decline is occurring.

I have done things politically, and I've been running a business at the same time, but I sort of joke that to some extent I do more than most legislators have done in their whole careers, and I've been doing it as a part-time job.

I hate wasting people's time.

I just wrote one song at a time. Kinda like an alcoholic. One day at a time.

An intelligent man is sometimes forced to be drunk to spend time with his fools.

The work that we do during the winter is very important; we have a new bike and it's important to develop it during this time, and we start with this test.

Fortunately, I happened to go east at a time when live television was centered in New York.

I want to spend more time with those kids. I want to dedicate my time to train those kids and teach them what it takes, what they need to do to get to this level.

Public opinion polls are rather like children in a garden, digging things up all the time to see how they're growing.

Sitting at home the way I do, I'd just love the hear from people. It'd be a great help in passing the time.

When it is time to get to work, I go away completely and don't do anything except the work. And that can be 16 hours a day.

You look at the whole Human Rights questions, I happened to be there at just the right time when the country was awakening - this goes to the first question you asked - the whole country was awakening to a hundred years of injustice that hadn't been resolved yet.

Compared to today's salaries, our cut was minuscule but it was very good for the time.

They haul you up there for, you know, week after week in this kind of star chamber proceeding. Then at the end of it they say, well, we found nothing, but now it's time for special counsel.

When I did the record, I was coming off a time when my contract had been sold and the music industry had changed a lot. I didn't understand how to make records for big labels. I was waiting for a new kind of record label to emerge.

Hell, if I'd jumped on all the dames I'm supposed to have jumped on, I'd have had no time to go fishing.

I've danced one time in my life. It was the most mortifying experience I ever had.

At the end of your life, you will never regret not having passed one more test, not winning one more verdict or not closing one more deal. You will regret time not spent with a husband, a friend, a child, or a parent.
