Most of us can remember a time when a birthday - especially if it was one's own - brightened the world as if a second sun has risen.

Meditation is all about the pursuit of nothingness. It's like the ultimate rest. It's better than the best sleep you've ever had. It's a quieting of the mind. It sharpens everything especially your appreciation of your surroundings. It keeps life fresh.

I just try to play music from my heart and bring as much beauty as I can to as many people as I can. Just give them other alternatives especially people who aren't exposed to creative music.

I hope that in some way that I can be some sort of beacon of hope especially because I am not the typical Hollywood beauty.

We especially need imagination in science. It is not all mathematics nor all logic but it is somewhat beauty and poetry.

'Handsome' means many things to many people. If people consider me handsome I feel flattered - and have my parents to thank for it. Realistically it doesn't hurt to be good-looking especially in this business.

It's really interesting with art-movies too but art especially - to see how your attitude toward artists and works and your level of appreciation of them is always shifting and changing over the years.

Unfortunately the attitude of many towards the press humanitarians included and especially government workers is often one of suspicion if not outright fear.

Turkey wants a policy of engagement exactly like President Obama's new approach. Policy of engagement less confrontation less tense attitude especially in the region.

Works of art often last forever or nearly so. But exhibitions themselves especially gallery exhibitions are like flowers they bloom and then they die then exist only as memories or pressed in magazines and books.

Much good art got made while money ruled I like a lot of it and hardship and poverty aren't virtues. The good news is that since almost no one will be selling art artists - especially emerging ones - won't have to think about turning out a consistent style or creating a brand. They'll be able to experiment as much as they want.

To say nothing especially when speaking is half the art of diplomacy.

I can't satisfy myself with just trying to tie all of my imagination into music especially when music is not appreciated as an art form as much as it used to be.

I think art education especially in this country which government pretty much ignores is so important for young people.

The bad gains respect through imitation the good loses it especially in art.

I think in art but especially in films people are trying to confirm their own existences.

Be true to yourself help others make each day your masterpiece make friendship a fine art drink deeply from good books - especially the Bible build a shelter against a rainy day give thanks for your blessings and pray for guidance every day.

The architecture profession has lost a lot of its integrity especially in the USA. The general architect here has no scruples no ambitions.

It was amazing that a play that seems dated in this world... A man whose best friend is a six-foot white rabbit... But it caught on especially with young people - they surprised me most of all.

I definitely look up to Meryl Streep because she's been in so many amazing movies and I just think that she's one of the greatest actresses out there. I also look up to Jennifer Lawrence especially knowing her and knowing that she is so awesome and so nice.

I never travel without my Stetson but the more I wear it the more I realise that no one wears hats any more. When I was a kid everybody wore hats especially in Texas but I get off the plane in Dallas now and I'm the only guy with a hat. It's amazing.

As a kid I always loved serialized books. It's the reason why people love 'Harry Potter.' Serialization is amazing. It works in television. It works in film and it works in books. Especially when you're a young kid you get attached to these characters.

For a while I felt very alone sort of out there in the world of comics especially here in the States.

Christmas lights may be the loneliest thing for me especially if you mix them up with reindeers and sleighs. I feel alone. I feel isolated. I feel I do not belong.
