I like to have fun all the time, even if I’m working.

Every adversity, every failure, every heartache carries with it the seed of an equal or greater benefit.

Yeah we all shine on, like the moon, and the stars, and the sun.

There’s my personal life, my sensitive side, and then me as a performer, sexy and energised and fun.

We must learn to reawaken and keep ourselves awake, not by mechanical aid, but by an infinite expectation of the dawn.

Sunshine is delicious, rain is refreshing, wind braces us up, snow is exhilarating; there is really no such thing as bad weather, only different kinds of good weather.

Fresh activity is the only means of overcoming adversity.

I like being able to be on the inside of music, rather than on the outside listening to it.

Wow, I get to wake up again? Ok. You have to make good with what you’ve got.

I say there’re no depressed words just depressed minds.

I don’t know what’s better gettin‘ laid or gettin‘ paid.

I’m so wrapped up in my work that it’s often impossible to consider other things in my life. My marriage ended in divorce because of this, my relationship with Holly has suffered by this.

If you think only of evil, then you become pessimistic and hopeless like Freud. But if you think there is no evil, then you’re just one more deluded Pollyanna.

Because forgiveness is like this: a room can be dank because you have closed the windows, you’ve closed the curtains. But the sun is shining outside, and the air is fresh outside. In order to get that fresh air, you have to get up and open the window and draw the curtains apart.

Our work is never over.

The power for creating a better future is contained in the present moment: You create a good future by creating a good present.

I try to look on all the great things God’s done, and not focus on the negative. It’s a perspective.

Life is one grand, sweet song, so start the music.

Why should we think upon things that are lovely? Because thinking determines life. It is a common habit to blame life upon the environment. Environment modifies life but does not govern life. The soul is stronger than its surroundings.

If you’re in a workplace you don’t like right now, be encouraged because God will use it for your good. Think about it this way: He wants you to be a light in the darkness – and He’s putting His confidence in you!

If you want a quality, act as if you already had it.

It’s a real strength for me that I’ve never minded the training process. It’s something I enjoy. I really like being in the gym or, certainly, on the field.

At least the Pilgrim Fathers used to shoot Indians: the Pilgrim Children merely punch time clocks.

Make the best use of what is in your power, and take the rest as it happens.

Life is grim, and we don’t have to be grim all the time.

You can change your world by changing your words… Remember, death and life are in the power of the tongue.

Beauty is everywhere a welcome guest.

Every breath we take, every step we make, can be filled with peace, joy and serenity.

A good conscience is a continual Christmas.

I enjoyed working with Stephen Merchant. He was wonderful. I’ve been such a big fan of his acting.

Everything that is done in the world is done by hope.

The thing I enjoyed most were visits from children. They did not want public office.

In order that people may be happy in their work, these three things are needed: They must be fit for it. They must not do too much of it. And they must have a sense of success in it.

I don’t want to hear the word ‚can’t.‘

I believe that unarmed truth and unconditional love will have the final word in reality. This is why right, temporarily defeated, is stronger than evil triumphant.

There is only one way to happiness and that is to cease worrying about things which are beyond the power of our will.

Man is not made for defeat.

Fear is real, but so is love.

Are you bored with life? Then throw yourself into some work you believe in with all your heart, live for it, die for it, and you will find happiness that you had thought could never be yours.

I’ve always wanted to make a career in the arts, and I think that my only hope at doing that is to make it more about the work.

I think I’ve really exhausted the magical. It was a lot of fun, but I’ve put it behind me for the time being.

It is more fitting for a man to laugh at life than to lament over it.

Although the world is full of suffering, it is also full of the overcoming of it.

Every day we have plenty of opportunities to get angry, stressed or offended. But what you’re doing when you indulge these negative emotions is giving something outside yourself power over your happiness. You can choose to not let little things upset you.

I die adoring God, loving my friends, not hating my enemies, and detesting superstition.

If someone decides they’re not going to be happy, it’s not your problem. You don’t have to spend your time and energy trying to cheer up someone who has already decided to stay in a bad mood. Believe it or not, you can actually hurt people by playing into their self-pity.

I know of nothing more despicable and pathetic than a man who devotes all the hours of the waking day to the making of money for money’s sake.

Whatever role I play is a positive role; it’s a strong role. Never negative.

When one’s expectations are reduced to zero, one really appreciates everything one does have.

Look for yourself, and you will find in the long run only hatred, loneliness, despair, rage, ruin, and decay. But look for Christ, and you will find Him, and with Him everything else thrown in.

I love my job, but it’s more than that: I need it.

Wondrous is the strength of cheerfulness, and its power of endurance – the cheerful man will do more in the same time, will do it; better, will preserve it longer, than the sad or sullen.

Today was good. Today was fun. Tomorrow is another one.

Take off your bedroom slippers. Put on your marching shoes,‘ he said, his voice rising as applause and cheers mounted. ‚Shake it off. Stop complainin‘. Stop grumblin‘. Stop cryin‘. We are going to press on. We have work to do.

Never deprive someone of hope; it might be all they have.

I don’t carry the burden of the past or the madness of the future. I live in the present.

I think it’s OK to be confident in yourself.

When you’re around me and really see that all I do is live and breathe for my work, it’s not strange, it’s just Gaga.

A day without laughter is a day wasted.

Beware the barrenness of a busy life.

I used to let other people’s struggles affect my happiness. If they weren’t happy, there was no way I was going to be happy. The opposite was also true: If I wasn’t happy, I didn’t want anyone around me to be happy.
