Courage means to keep working a relationship to continue seeking solutions to difficult problems and to stay focused during stressful periods.

Ten years ago it was really difficult for a young actress to walk onto a set and disagree with the director and having that be OK and have a conversation about it and everyone be cool with it.

Playing and singing at the same time is pretty cool but sometimes it's difficult to know when you can just really let go a bit because you've got to get back to bloody microphone and sing some stuff.

I'm trying to mix the cool independent stuff with the big stuff but it's been difficult finding the right roles. It's been an interesting ride as far as my career pendulum is concerned.

Acknowledging class was always difficult for 'New Democrats' - it was second-wave it was divisive - but 2008 made retro politics cool again.

Well my wife always says to me and I think it's true it's very difficult for us to understand the Elizabethan understanding and enjoyment and perception of form as it is to say... it would be for them to understand computers or going to the moon or something.

It is difficult to imagine how any behavior in the presence of another person can avoid being a communication of one's own view of the nature of one's relationship with that person and how it can fail to influence that person.

Eventually it is found out but it takes time especially in the conditions when communication is difficult when the enemy is making it extremely awkward for information to come out to go.

It's a difficult undertaking. I've been married for four years and I see this movie as a cautionary tale about people who've gone deeply out of communication.

We are like a woman with a difficult pregnancy. We have to rebuild the social classes in Egypt and we must change the way things were.

Some argue that now isn't the time to push the green agenda - that all efforts should be on preventing a serious recession. That is a false choice. It fails to recognise that climate change and our carbon reliance is part of problem - high fuel prices and food shortages due to poor crop yields compound today's financial difficulties.

Every great and deep difficulty bears in itself its own solution. It forces us to change our thinking in order to find it.

The most difficult thing is the decision to act the rest is merely tenacity. The fears are paper tigers. You can do anything you decide to do. You can act to change and control your life and the procedure the process is its own reward.

If you feel like it's difficult to change you will probably have a harder time succeeding.

When it becomes more difficult to suffer than to change... you will change.

Without accepting the fact that everything changes we cannot find perfect composure. But unfortunately although it is true it is difficult for us to accept it. Because we cannot accept the truth of transience we suffer.

Well it is so difficult right now when you look out on the road and how fast people go and the more and more cars you see out there for teenagers you'd think a kid that literally a few years before was sitting back in a car seat in the back seat is now behind the wheel.

I was always a singer. But I was always focused on being an actor as my trade. Music I do just for me. The movie business is very difficult but the music business is just impossible.

The movie business is very difficult but the music business is just impossible. So I'll play in bands and record and play songs with other people but for me it's a form of expression that all I need is me. I don't need cameras or agents I can just have a piano and sing and feel totally verified.

I want to go out at the top but the secret is knowing when you're at the top it's so difficult in this business your career fluctuates all the time up and down like a pair of trousers.

Los Angeles is such a town of show business and I'm a terrible celebrity. I find it difficult - it's the beast that must be fed. There's this big wheel of pictures and articles that goes around and you get pinned on it.

I know what it's like to start a business. I know how extra ordinarily difficult it is to build something from nothing. I know how government kills jobs and yes I know how it can help from time- to-time.

The business schools reward difficult complex behavior more than simple behavior but simple behavior is more effective.

Most of what we call management consists of making it difficult for people to get their work done.
