I like entertaining people. I really miss it.

On ‚Grey’s Anatomy‘ I wouldn’t care what I was playing – I would play a corpse, ‚cause I love it that much. It is deep true love, and it will never die.

The good of the people is the greatest law.

If you get something right, you really feel it, right in your chest, on stage. I think it’s an incomparable experience.

I’m a writer first and a singer second.

I like some animals more than some people, some people more than some animals.

I am a professional sportswriter, among other things, and I take the games seriously. It is only one of my many powerful addictions, and I don’t mind admitting any of them.

An intellectual is a person who’s found one thing that’s more interesting than sex.

Success in its highest and noblest form calls for peace of mind and enjoyment and happiness which come only to the man who has found the work that he likes best.

People love conspiracy theories.

Every time I get in the McLaren I feel more comfortable, my confidence increases and I feel more at home with the team.

I draw from the Absurd three consequences: my revolt, my liberty, my passion.

I’ve been writing since I was really young, so I considered myself a writer for a really long time.

I never wanted to be a scientist per se. I wanted to be a naturalist.

I loved what I did. I could’ve been secretary of state for ever.

Not bragging by any means, but I could have done a lot of other stuff as far as working in films go and working in television… I had chances to do that stuff, but I like baseball, I really do.

I stay out of politics because if I begin thinking too much about politics, I’ll probably… drop writing children’s books and become a political cartoonist again.

As individuals, people are inherently good. I have a somewhat more pessimistic view of people in groups. And I remain extremely concerned when I see what’s happening in our country, which is in many ways the luckiest place in the world. We don’t seem to be excited about making our country a better place for our kids.

Music is really driving my whole life.

It’s very fun to be the hunter of the sounds. The hunter of the right energy. And it’s not really about if every sound is correct; it’s more the energy – if it hits you in some way, it doesn’t really matter to me if it’s not perfect. I’m still very excited while hunting for songs.

Van Gogh never made a penny in his entire lifetime. He painted because it was his soul, his excitement. It was what aligned him with his Source of being. It’s the same with me and writing.

The beauty of a woman is not in a facial mode but the true beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul. It is the caring that she lovingly gives the passion that she shows. The beauty of a woman grows with the passing years.

We love things we love what they are.

I can’t act!

I was performing in New York and my friends started to call me Gaga, they said I was very theatrical and they said, ‚You’re Gaga‘.

People, even more than things, have to be restored, renewed, revived, reclaimed, and redeemed; never throw out anyone.

Love is of all passions the strongest, for it attacks simultaneously the head, the heart and the senses.

The people who are absent are the ideal; those who are present seem to be quite commonplace.

We must act out passion before we can feel it.

I don’t live for the accolades. I’m more so about the music. Making it, and putting it out. Those are the two best feelings.

When you are enthusiastic about what you do, you feel this positive energy. It’s very simple.

I take a lot of pride in the work I do, because people pay to see me. They’ve got to get babysitters, park their car, get popcorn and candy. I’ve got to be conscious of that.

I can analyze people’s intentions. Immediately. That’s just a warning. To everyone.

Yes, it is one of my ultimate aims – it is the ultimate sense of football: to make the people happy, to let them live some emotions that you usually can’t get.

I like people and I like them to like me, but I wear my heart where God put it, on the inside.

If I am a cup maker, I’m interested in making the best cup I possibly can. My effort goes into that cup, not what people think about it.

If it wasn’t for baseball, I’d be in either the penitentiary or the cemetery.

By believing passionately in something that still does not exist, we create it. The nonexistent is whatever we have not sufficiently desired.

I’m really happy and had such an amazing time performing at Super Bowl – wish I could relive it all over again.

I find a lot of inspiration through visuals. When I was 12, I saw Aurora’s ‚Runaway‘ music video. Something inside me clicked, like, ‚That is what I want to do, no matter whether it goes anywhere or not.‘

Honestly, I never really put the mic down.

When I walk outside, people have something to say about it.

We will invest in our people, quality education, job opportunity, family, neighborhood, and yes, a thing we call America.

People think hard sparring will get you sharp. And you do get sharp in the gym. But anytime I’ve trained that way, I’ve actually been a little bit flatter in the fight. And the knockout shot hasn’t come. It’s almost because my training has been too hard.

Is it not strange that desire should so many years outlive performance?

Music helps me tell my story. That’s where I can really be heard. But there’s so much focus on the things that aren’t music.

I only act from my heart.

Music, in performance, is a type of sculpture. The air in the performance is sculpted into something.

What keeps me motivated is love and passion.

I was lucky – I found what I loved to do early in life. Woz and I started Apple in my parents‘ garage when I was 20. We worked hard, and in 10 years, Apple had grown from just the two of us in a garage into a $2 billion company with over 4000 employees.

If you cannot work with love but only with distaste, it is better that you should leave your work.

I am confident that when the facts and policies have been examined, when the record of performances have been reviewed, Barack Obama and Joe Biden will once again be elected to lead our beloved country to a better future.

I think, generally, I just cannot really envision life without writing and producing records and singing.

I do not think there is any thrill that can go through the human heart like that felt by the inventor as he sees some creation of the brain unfolding to success… such emotions make a man forget food, sleep, friends, love, everything.

You must stay drunk on writing so reality cannot destroy you.

I guess you could say it’s always been my destiny to be a performer.

Who’s to say what’s a good voice and not a good voice?

I don’t think there is anything wrong in earning money from the sport you love. If you work hard and get benefits from it, there is no harm. The day you feel that you are not working hard and are only looking at the benefits, that’s where the problem is.

I never intended for the Monster Ball to be a religious experience, it just became one.

Many things difficult to design prove easy to performance.

Art was, seriously, the only thing I’d ever wanted to own. It has always been for me a stable nourishment. I use it. It can change the way that I feel in the mornings.
