!!! الأمر الجيّد ... أن الأمور السّيئة يُمكن أن تتحوّل إلى أمور جيّدة عندما تُغيّر موقفك

،، هُناك شيء واحد في هذا الكون يُمكنك أن تثق بأنّك تستطيع تحسينه بالتّأكيد !! هذا الشّيء هو .... أنت

!! إذا كان هُناك كتاب تُريد حقّاً أن تقرأه لكنّه لم يُكتب بعد .... فيجب عليك أن تكتبه أنت

، إذا كُنت تُريد أن تشعر بالرّضا وأنت ذاهب للفراش فلتكُن لديك عزيمة و إصرار في كل صباح تستيقظ فيه من نومك

،، المُتفائل يرى فُرصة في كل مُصيبة

بعض النّاس ينظرون إلى العالم و يقولون "لم"؟ وبعض النّاس ينظرون إلى العالم و يقولون "لم لا"؟

، رجُلان نظرا للخارج من خلال قُضبان السّجن !! .... أحدهما رأى وحلاً ،، و الآخر رأى نجوماً

!! إنّ كل حركة عظيمة ورائدة في سجلّات التّاريخ ... هي انتصار للحماس

لا تستسلم !!! استمر في المُضيّ ، هناك دائماً احتمال أن قدميك ستصطدمان بشيء رائع !! لم أسمع قط عن شخص تعثّرت قدماه بشيء وهو جالس

إننا لا نعرف من نحن .. حتّى نرى ما نستطيع أن نفعله

افعل ما تستطيع ، مستخدما كل ما تملك أينما كنت

الحياة ليست ثابتة ، وأولئك الذين لا يستطيعون تغيير عقولهم هم سكان المقابر والمجانين والموتى

إن الشيء لا يكتمل بمجرد الوصول إليه ، وإنما يكتمل عندما يصل إلى نهايته

إن التفكير أصعب الأعمال وهذا هو السبب في أن القليلين هم الذين يختارونه كعمل

لا تبحث عن الأخطاء ولكن ابحث عن العلاج

لا شيء يتغير بل نحن الذين نتغير

لكل جهد منظم عائد مضاعف

الفعل وليس المعرفة هو الغاية العظمى من الحياة

إذا أردت أن تخلق الأعداء فتميز على أصدقائك أما إذا شئت أن تكسب الأصدقاء فدع أصدقاءك يتميزون عليك

ليس هناك بلاد صغيرة فعظمة الشعوب لا يقدرها عدد أفرادها وعظمة الفرد لا تصنعها قامته

I'm aware of people's association with me and fashion and I certainly take that role on for some occasions, but it doesn't dominate my thoughts all the time.

I was concerned about that, because I've always been so specific about doing independent films, but I've never done anything that's so genuinely and ridiculously fun. And that's a great thing, for me to discover that that's possible.

Its almost heartening to think that the attachment you have can define your perception as much as any other influence.

A journalist and an information architect face exactly the same problem - how to give shape to the pile of information in front of you in a way that will make it easy and natural for people to comprehend. I can't imagine any better preparation for the work I do now.

I was the little, funny one. I felt I was the child among grown women.

I think the facts reveal that the European partners have taken extraordinary measures to help Greece address its problems.

Me just being myself in public or on TV is the biggest nightmare in the world.

My mother married three times. My dad is... I don't really have one. I mean, he does exist, but I have zero relationship with him.

I remember reading the book in high school and always thinking of Gatsby as this strong, stoic, suave, mysterious man who had everything under control. But when I read it as an adult, I realised he is a hollow man, a shell of a person trying to find meaning, who is not completely in touch with reality.

People don't always realize that a record is forever. It'll always be there under your name. You've got to be certain that it's right.

I have the good fortune of working with two brothers who are very accomplished, incredibly smart, and very capable.

It's the group sound that's important, even when you're playing a solo. You not only have to know your own instrument, you must know the others and how to back them up at all times. That's jazz.

I still dance, probably three times a week, unless I'm working on a crazy job, and then I just don't have any free time at all.

By constant self-discipline and self-control, you can develop greatness of character.

The Band is probably the ultimate example of people taking all kinds of music, from gospel to blues to mountain music to folk music to on and on and on and on and putting them all in this big pot and mixing up a new gumbo.

I definitely like the mystery of not knowing how things will turn out, you know.

I'm kind of under the radar. Not a lot of people notice me. Which is surprising, because I'm so sexy. They're probably intimidated by my sexiness and crushability.
