If my films don't show a profit I know I'm doing something right.

The ultimate aim of the ego is not to see something but to be something.

Always desire to learn something useful.

When I was twelve I went hunting with my father and we shot a bird. He was laying there and something struck me. Why do we call this fun to kill this creature who was as happy as I was when I woke up this morning.

At the end of the day I don't need to work and I think it's good that I have the drive and willpower to get up and do something in the morning even though I don't need to.

Well you know what? The actor still gets up in the morning if he's still got something to work with you go out there and you do it. Never quit!

I think I turned to writing really just to wake up in the morning and be a musician and to have something to do and feel like a musician every day even if I wasn't working.

It was not enough to come and listen to a great sermon or message every Sunday morning and be confined to those four walls and those four corners. You had to get out and do something.

What is different is I am giving the kids a chance to train every day. Not only once a day but sometimes when they do not have school we will try to do something in the morning too.

It says something about this new global economy that USA Today now reports every morning on the day's events in Asian markets.

I actually think the whole concept of retirement is a bit stupid so yes I do want to do something else. There is this strange thing that just because chronologically on a Friday night you have reached a certain age... with all that experience how can it be that on a Monday morning you are useless?

I'm going to get up every morning at 6:30 to work out. Then when I've kept with it all week I give myself something I really want like a new handbag or a piece of jewelry I'm coveting.

You say something stupid and the next morning you're in the headlines.

If I'm working on a film I'll do sit-ups for before I shoot. Like 100 in the morning or something.

It's very important to write things down instantly or you can lose the way you were thinking out a line. I have a rule that if I wake up at 3 in the morning and think of something I write it down. I can't wait until morning - it'll be gone.

I was a very undisciplined person but acting was something that actually motivated me to get up in the morning. I hadn't experienced that before but it was something that really excited me. I think I could be quite self-conscious and it gave me a release.

It seems to me madness to wake up in the morning and do something other than paint considering that one may not wake up the following morning.

The thing with me is if I wake up one morning and I'm not happy working as an actress I'll stop. It's not something I have to do. It's not a vocation.

Hitchhiking was such a pure form of existence. You'd wake up in the morning and you'd have no idea what your day was going to be. And that's something I've never been able to shake. I loved that.

I wake up early in the morning and walk for an hour. If I have something to write I prefer to write in the morning until midday and in the afternoon I eat.

The quality of life is so much higher anyplace you can ski in the morning and surf in the evening - there's something to be said for that.

My personality when tasked with creating meals goes something like this: Is there a way we can make this more difficult? Because let's do that. I don't mean to complicate things. It's just - why buy pre-packaged potato salad when you can spend your morning boiling potatoes and flipping out because there's no dill in the house?

I get up in the morning and do a seven-minute yoga workout. I know the most likely time I'm going to do something is when I first get up and I make it short because like you I don't really want to do that first thing in the morning.

But when I felt like I had something to prove? Then I got up early every morning and worked all day long. I didn't know if I had any more talent than anyone else directing but I knew I could work hard at it and so I did.
