I want to do it because I want to do it. Women must try to do things as men have tried. When they fail, their failure must be but a challenge to others

If happiness is the goal – and it should be, then adventure should be top priority

Actually, the best gift you could have given her was a lifetime of adventures

Anytime I feel lost, I pull out a map and stare. I stare until I have reminded myself that life is a giant adventure, so much to do, to see –

People never forget two things, their first love and their first day in New York City

I get a friend to travel with me… I need somebody to bring me back to who I am. It’s hard to be alone

Travel isn’t always pretty. It isn’t always comfortable. Sometimes it hurts; breaks your heart. But that’s okay. The journey changes you; it should change you. It leaves marks on your memory, on your consciousness, on your heart, and on your body. You take something with you. Hopefully, you leave something good behind

I have found out that there ain’t no surer way to find out whether you like people or hate them than to travel with them

It is in all of us to defy expectations, to go into the world and to be brave, and to want, to need, to hunger for adventures. To embrace the chance and risk so that we may breathe and know what it is to be free

Should that worse scenario materialize, then most probably our propensity to increase interest rates will be weaker.

The strength of British theatre should be that these actors in their middle years know what they're doing and are good at it. Not rich, not famous, but making a living.

I can act... well, kind of. I'm comfortable in front of a camera.

I really enjoy computer networking.

We carry out our work under the leadership of the government.

There may have been many big bangs, one of which created our universe. The other bangs created other universes.

An army that fought and won a war decisively finds it even more difficult to undergo change.

You have to learn to express differently. Whenever I do TV or film, I ask if I can see the shot to see, to see if it's full body or a close-up. That helps me understand how to communicate.

Maybe when I stop making movies, I'll understand my work better.

Actually, a myth is a story that is not just not true, but it's a story that is especially true. And I think the myth of Jesus is especially true.

From the middle of life onward, only he remains vitally alive who is ready to die with life.

If I were to categorize what I sing, I have many different influences, and a lot of them are from back in time.

I don't want a government shutdown. I don't think anyone does.

My overcoat is worn out; my shirts also are worn out. And I ask to be allowed to have a lamp in the evening; it is indeed wearisome sitting alone in the dark.

It's good to have a governing body to oversee matters in making of films, but you can't blame films for what is happening in society.

I listen to music two ways: As a person, you have an instinctive, personal, emotional response. But as a music supervisor, you have a secondary response, which is, 'Will this sit well under dialogue?' 'Can people die to this?' 'Can people kiss to this?'

I actually write film music because I'm classically trained on the piano so as well as songwriting I also write actual film music that could be used for movies like war movies and love movies.

One of the most important keys to success is having the discipline to do what you know you should do, even when you dont feel like doing it.

Only a small rich fringe hates Social Security for disincentivizing 80-year-olds from seeking full-time employment.

I studied dance at a high school arts magnet program before moving on to Miami's New World School of the Arts, and from there, I went on to study at The Juilliard School.

If there were no poetry on any day in the world, poetry would be invented that day. For there would be an intolerable hunger.

Aunts are to be a pattern and example to all aunts; to be a delight to boys (and girls) and a comfort to their parents; and to show that at least one daughter in every generation ought to remain unmarried, and raise the profession of auntship to a fine art.

Dance has been a big passion for me.

I like making stories and characters that people can relate to. I also like giving the audience a departure from whatever they're thinking about in their life and enjoying a show or a movie.
