If death meant just leaving the stage long enough to change costume and come back as a new character would you slow down? Or speed up?
If you believe that feeling bad or worrying long enough will change a past or future event then you are residing on another planet with a different reality system.
I worked for this company that repossessed cars. Sure enough the day after I quit they repossessed my car but that would probably be my strangest job to date. You have to work your way up to become a hardcore repo man.
This is like my dad's race team where we had one Legend car. If we wrecked it we couldn't race the next week unless we had enough parts to put it back together again.
I don't purposely speed but I might go over by five or six miles an hour from time to time. It doesn't give me a buzz driving on normal roads because I can't go fast enough. It's never going to be anything like an F1 car.
When you are fitted in a racing car and you race to win second or third place is not enough.
In recent years I've been writing because I'm fortunate enough to work in the world of food television to travel and taste and learn about cooking from the best chefs in the business.
Politicians also have a love affair with the 'small business exemption.' Too much paperwork? Too heavy a burden? Not enough time? Just exempt small businesses from the rule. It sounds so pro-growth. Instead it's an admission that the costs of a regulation just can't be justified.
We're not uncomfortable with it and we've already been through enough of the music business where I'm not really worried that commercial success is going to in some way - we're already past saving you know what I mean? It's too late for us.
Dishonesty in government is the business of every citizen. It is not enough to do your own job. There's no particular virtue in that. Democracy isn't a gift. It's a responsibility.
At the end of drama school I made a contract with myself: I'd try acting for five years. I was 26. I had already spent eight years working in restaurants and gas stations. So I had seen enough small businesses to understand that that's what acting is: a small business.
There's nobody in the business strong enough to scare me.
It is easy enough to be friendly to one's friends. But to befriend the one who regards himself as your enemy is the quintessence of true religion. The other is mere business.
Discourage litigation. Persuade your neighbors to compromise whenever you can. As a peacemaker the lawyer has superior opportunity of being a good man. There will still be business enough.
If you can build a business up big enough it's respectable.
I used to be good with kids but as I get older I'm grumpy and terrible with them. As for doing a gig at a 6-year old's birthday party you couldn't pay me enough.
All I try to do is create an atmosphere that seems comfortable enough that it removes tension and everyone feels free. If they feel free then behaviour happens small moments happen and that's what ultimately works the best for me.
You can only do your best. That's all you can do. And if it isn't good enough it isn't good enough.
In politics strangely enough the best way to play your cards is to lay them face upwards on the table.
It is not enough to do your best you must know what to do and then do your best.
Power will intoxicate the best hearts as wine the strongest heads. No man is wise enough nor good enough to be trusted with unlimited power.
I did the best I could and in some arenas my best was not good enough. I've made some bad choices.
If you're lucky enough to have a pretty girl love you and share herself and sleep with you make that your secret. The best way to spoil love is by talking to too many people about it.
I have believed the best of every man. And find that to believe is enough to make a bad man show him at his best or even a good man swings his lantern higher.
I for one hope that youth will again revolt and again demoralize the dead weight of conformity that now lies upon us.
