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‘.

I don’t know, I feel desperate when I sing. And I look desperate – it feels like I’m singing for my life, which makes me twitch, if that makes sense.

All that the future holds in store for each sacred child of God will be shaped by his or her parents, family, friends, and teachers. Thus, our faith now becomes part of our posterity’s faith later.

People have a negative impression of New York that I don’t think is quite fair.

Proper sleep has helped me get to where I am today as an athlete, and it is something that I continue to rely on every day.

Preparation for a mission is important. A mission is a voluntary act of service to God and humankind. Missionaries support that privilege with their personal savings. Parents, families, friends, and donors to the General Missionary Fund may also assist.

I used to make little movies when I was younger. I’d make my friends be in them and then edit them.

I love playing under pressure. In fact, if there’s no pressure, then I’m not in the perfect zone.

You always want to quit while you are ahead. You don’t want to be like a fighter who stays too long in the ring until you’re not performing at your best.

The knighthood was a tremendous honour, I don’t dismiss it. But I feel embarrassed by the flowery, theatrical stuff that goes with being an actor.

Many things difficult to design prove easy to performance.

When 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.

Piety requires us to honor truth above our friends.

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 don’t know what acting is, but I enjoy it.

I like the app where you can make your own memes. I make memes all the time and send them to my friends.

I’ve done auditions where the casting director is taking the paper out of my hand in the middle of reading.

I 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.

I can’t say this enough – the food that you put into your bodies can actually help you get better grades. And it can also affect your performance in sports and other activities too. You see, when you give your body the best possible fuel, you have more energy, you’re stronger, you think more quickly.

Friends applaud, the comedy is over.

Any artist, the work you do, if it’s a painting or if it’s a performance, you hope it translates to a common denominator with the people that they see something in their own life in there. Or they see something in somebody else’s life. That’s what’s fun about sharing art.

There are very few people who really appreciate my shows. People come to the show and they pay and they enjoy it, but I don’t really think most people really understand what they’ve seen.

The boys know they’re from Southeast Asia, and they have their food and their music and their friends, and they have a pride particular to them.

The events that I have attended to mark my Diamond Jubilee have been a humbling experience. It has touched me deeply to see so many thousands of families, neighbors and friends celebrating together in such a happy atmosphere.

My friends tease me about the fact that if someone seems bad or shady or like they have a secret, I find them incredibly interesting.

I have more friends in New York than Paris.

Good friends, good books and a sleepy conscience: this is the ideal life.

Work aside, we come to New York for the possibility of interaction and inspiration.

I played characters with villainous aspect. But out-and-out villain? No.

A lot of my heartbreak songs are inspired by things my sisters are going through, or friends.

An agent won’t help you get drafted higher, won’t make you win more games, and won’t make you faster or stronger.

I’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.

When I was performing the songs on ‚Kiss Land,‘ it was a great singalong. But there were moments where I realized some parts were catchier than the others. There’s maybe two choruses on all of ‚Kiss Land.‘

I was very blessed to have family and friends, but particularly family, who told me I was not only all right, I was just right, so I believe that my brain is a good one, and it’s lasting me very well.

No duty the Executive had to perform was so trying as to put the right man in the right place.

I remember coming to New York in 1974 to do a play here called ‚Equis.‘ And I remember the first morning getting up and walking around the streets, and I thought, ‚I’m home.‘ I felt really at peace here.

I like to sing ballads the way Eddie Fisher does and the way Perry Como does. But the way I’m singing now is what makes the money.

In New York I pretty much live in diners – I order French Fries, Diet Coke floats and lots of coffee.

I can’t act!

New York is definitely ready for the word of God.

Basketball is my passion, I love it. But my family and friends mean everything to me. That’s what’s important. I need my phone so I can keep in contact with them at all times.

Practically everybody in New York has half a mind to write a book, and does.

I like the good life too much, I’m not good at going on stage night after night and on wet Wednesday afternoons.

I was born in New York in 1904.

Think about what people are doing on Facebook today. They’re keeping up with their friends and family, but they’re also building an image and identity for themselves, which in a sense is their brand. They’re connecting with the audience that they want to connect to. It’s almost a disadvantage if you’re not on it now.

Wrestling was like stand-up comedy for me. Every night I had a live audience of 25,000 people to win over. My goal was never to be the loudest or the craziest. It was to be the most entertaining.

For though we love both the truth and our friends, piety requires us to honor the truth first.

Stand-up is my baby.

When you’re a chef, you graze. You never get a chance to sit down and eat. They don’t actually sit down and eat before you cook. So when I finish work, the first thing I’ll do, and especially when I’m in New York, I’ll go for a run. And I’ll run 10 or 15k on my – and I run to gain my appetite.

I like entertaining people. I really miss it.

Those people in New York are not gonna change me none.

Acting is a question of absorbing other people’s personalities and adding some of your own experience.

Stand-up is hard. Or to keep it at a certain level is hard: I have no writers but me.

If you watch any good player, they’re using different parts of their body and working with instruments that respond to those movements. They’re moving in many dimensions at once.

And I try to give the best bang for the buck. I love performing more than anything else.

I’ve always had to conquer fear when I’m on stage. Basically, I was and still am a very shy person. It’s absolutely in conflict with what I do. But once I deliver the first joke I’m okay. It’s like I’m out there all by myself just delivering my lines to nobody in particular without ever trying to notice the audience in front of me.

Because I’m small, I’ve been called things from ‚Happy Feet‘ to ‚Little Face.‘

When I was at school, I used to stay on a balcony singing and people would stand around listening.

I didn’t like the play, but then I saw it under adverse conditions – the curtain was up.

The joy of doing well as a batsman for your country is much more than that little joy of going for a party and enjoying music. It is a completely different high, and I get high by performances. That’s what I enjoy now.

‚Love Story‘ is actually about a guy that I almost dated. But when I introduced him to my family and my friends, they all said they didn’t like him. All of them!
