If you look at me in ‚Ride Along,‘ even though I’m playing two different characters, my demeanor and my tone were not aggressive.
Kevin HartWell, there are some things that I just can’t get out of my head, and they start to annoy me after a while. Sometimes they’re of my own creation, as well – and they’re just as annoying. It’s not only other people’s ear worms that bug me, it’s my own, as well.
Brian EnoI’m kind of claustrophobic… It’s not even like enclosed spaces. It’s like I hate being stuck in one band, you know? Just being stuck is the biggest drag, for fear that, you know, just that you can’t get out.
Dave GrohlHe was so depressed, he tried to commit suicide by inhaling next to an Armenian.
Woody AllenOver the holidays, and even during filming, I realized that I actually like my body, even if it’s not perfect according to the book. I just feel sexy. For the first time, I don’t want to get rid of the curves. I just want to tone it up. My body is comfortable, and it’s not unhealthy, so I’m going to rock with it.
RihannaDrag your thoughts away from your troubles… by the ears, by the heels, or any other way you can manage it.
Mark TwainThe outpouring of support from millions of people in the immediate aftermath of the earthquake in Haiti has been impressive.
Bill GatesA Scout is never taken by surprise; he knows exactly what to do when anything unexpected happens.
Robert Baden-PowellI guess there is nothing that will get your mind off everything like golf. I have never been depressed enough to take up the game, but they say you get so sore at yourself you forget to hate your enemies.
Will RogersIf you have the ability to pick yourself up by the bootstraps and start over, you come out stronger because you learn from whatever mistakes you made.
Abby Lee MillerI got my own back.
Maya AngelouI’m not really an actor, I’m a reactor; I’m a pitchman. That’s what I do best. Nobody can do it any better.
Mr. TI played characters with villainous aspect. But out-and-out villain? No.
Clint EastwoodOne cannot wage war under present conditions without the support of public opinion, which is tremendously molded by the press and other forms of propaganda.
Douglas MacArthurI’ve had no problem harnessing anger.
Clint EastwoodI do admire Judi Dench and Sir Ian McKellen, but I’m a philistine. I like the good life too much; I’m not good at going on stage night after night and on wet Wednesday afternoons.
Anthony HopkinsGrief changes shape, but it never ends.
Keanu ReevesAs fire when thrown into water is cooled down and put out, so also a false accusation when brought against a man of the purest and holiest character, boils over and is at once dissipated, and vanishes and threats of heaven and sea, himself standing unmoved.
Marcus Tullius CiceroTo be nobody but yourself in a world which is doing its best, night and day, to make you everybody else – means to fight the hardest battle which any human being can fight; and never stop fighting.
E. E. CummingsMy mum passing away wasn’t funny, but that funeral and what I went through, the things that happened, looking back at it, there were funny moments. You have to be strong enough to look back at it, to sit and assess the situation.
Kevin HartThe notion that we have even one single veteran living on the streets should be just considered a travesty to all of us.
Michelle ObamaWhen the first big paycheque with ‚Dumb And Dumber‘ hit, I went: ‚Gosh, I wonder if this will affect my performance. Will I do a take and think, was that worth $7 million?‘ But that never happened. If anything, it made me rebel against that thing when people who get rich start playing it safe.
Jim CarreyEven if you have a terminal disease, you don’t have to sit down and mope. Enjoy life and challenge the illness that you have.
Nelson MandelaAdversity leads us to think properly of our state, and so is most beneficial to us.
Samuel JohnsonI can’t play bridge. I don’t play tennis. All those things that people learn, and I admire, there hasn’t seemed time for. But what there is time for is looking out the window.
Alice MunroI like to feel blonde all over.
Marilyn MonroeWith all the… success that I’ve been lucky enough to get? That doesn’t happen unless the home life is solid.
Dwayne JohnsonAt the Carter Center we work with victims of oppression, and we give support to human rights heroes.
Jimmy CarterThe major difference between a thing that might go wrong and a thing that cannot possibly go wrong is that when a thing that cannot possibly go wrong goes wrong it usually turns out to be impossible to get at and repair.
Douglas AdamsThere will be days when I walk in an arena and people will cheer and then there might be days when I walk in an arena and people might boo, but it all sounds the same to me because it’s all just noise that lets me know that I’m relevant.
DrakeI’ve got no need to prove to myself that I can do Shakespeare. I’ve done it.
Anthony HopkinsWhen we are well, we all have good advice for those who are ill.
Lucius Annaeus SenecaA man’s growth is seen in the successive choirs of his friends.
Ralph Waldo EmersonI don’t like being alone.
Cristiano RonaldoFeeling like you’re respected among the people who do the same thing you do is incredible and necessary.
Lana Del ReyI never thought of losing, but now that it‘ s happened, the only thing is to do it right. That’s my obligation to all the people who believe in me. We all have to take defeats in life.
Muhammad AliI get naturally uncomfortable when I’m put under a magnifying glass.
The WeekndWe’re not a fragile people. We’re not a frightful people. Our power doesn’t come from some self-declared savior promising that he alone can restore order as long as we do things his way. We don’t look to be ruled.
Barack ObamaI have never been bewildered for long in any fight with our enemies – I was Armed with Insight.
Jim MattisWhen we tackle obstacles, we find hidden reserves of courage and resilience we did not know we had. And it is only when we are faced with failure do we realise that these resources were always there within us. We only need to find them and move on with our lives.
A. P. J. Abdul KalamWhen you go to an oasis, you go there to supply yourself with the vital things you are missing, things that you need.
Bad BunnyThere are no problems we cannot solve together, and very few that we can solve by ourselves.
Lyndon B. JohnsonIsrael was not created in order to disappear – Israel will endure and flourish. It is the child of hope and the home of the brave. It can neither be broken by adversity nor demoralized by success. It carries the shield of democracy and it honors the sword of freedom.
John F. KennedyIf I didn’t have my films as an outlet for all the different sides of me, I would probably be locked up.
Angelina JolieTrials teach us what we are; they dig up the soil, and let us see what we are made of.
Charles SpurgeonYou want me to own a team and deal with these rich, spoiled stubborn athletes, and try to get them to perform? No thank you.
Kobe BryantI don’t think anyone ever plans to change line-ups, but it’s something that comes with being in bands. I was in a band once and there were always problems – members come and go – and some of the world’s biggest bands have changed line-ups loads!
Bruno MarsMy interest in life comes from setting myself huge, apparently unachievable challenges and trying to rise above them.
Richard BransonI first found delight in the Sabbath many years ago when, as a busy surgeon, I knew that the Sabbath became a day for personal healing. By the end of each week, my hands were sore from repeatedly scrubbing them with soap, water, and a bristle brush. I also needed a breather from the burden of a demanding profession.
Russell M. NelsonIt is a curious sensation: the sort of pain that goes mercifully beyond our powers of feeling. When your heart is broken, your boats are burned: nothing matters any more. It is the end of happiness and the beginning of peace.
George Bernard ShawA woman can’t be alone. She needs a man. A man and a woman support and strengthen each other. She just can’t do it by herself.
Marilyn MonroeDidn’t get promoted? Good. More time to get better.
Jocko WillinkI was set free because my greatest fear had been realized, and I still had a daughter who I adored, and I had an old typewriter and a big idea. And so rock bottom became a solid foundation on which I rebuilt my life.
J. K. RowlingThere are a whole bunch of roles where people say, ‚Oh, you’re playing yourself.‘ I guess it’s kind of a compliment. Or people say, ‚Oh, man, you just roll out of bed and do that.‘ The work is to make it look effortless. That’s the hard part.
Matthew McConaugheyOne of the things I realized is that if you do not take control over your time and your life, other people will gobble it up. If you don’t prioritize yourself, you constantly start falling lower and lower on your list, your kids fall lower and lower on your list.
Michelle ObamaI’m not a big fan of psychoanalysis: I think if you have mental problems what you need are good pills. But I do think that if you have thinks that bother you, things that are unresolved, the more that you talk about them, write about them, the less serious they become.
Stephen KingIf you want to reach the top, don’t run over others. Likely, the only way you’ll reach the top is to be carried there by others.
John C. MaxwellI always tried to turn every disaster into an opportunity.
John D. RockefellerI desire so to conduct the affairs of this administration that if at the end… I have lost every other friend on earth, I shall at least have one friend left, and that friend shall be down inside of me.
Abraham LincolnActing is nothing more or less than playing. The idea is to humanize life.
George Eliot
