When I think about the songs I might record I ask myself 'Can I picture anybody I know back home sitting in their truck cranking this up?'

I got a lovely check today from being a writer that I earned by sitting at home. That's rewarding.

The World Health Organisation has a lot of its medical experts sitting in Geneva while hospitals in Africa have no drugs and desperate patients are forced to seek medication on the black market.

Sitting behind the bench at games is the hardest thing I've ever had to go through because basketball is really most of my happiness. So when I can't go out there and exert energy and have fun and things like that it kind of puts everything else into perspective.

If a star or studio chief or any other great movie personages find themselves sitting among a lot of nobodies they get frightened - as if somebody was trying to demote them.

There is no chance and anarchy in the universe. All is system and gradation. Every god is there sitting in his sphere.

The moment I have realized God sitting in the temple of every human body the moment I stand in reverence before every human being and see God in him - that moment I am free from bondage everything that binds vanishes and I am free.

Gardens are not made by singing 'Oh how beautiful ' and sitting in the shade.

Someone's sitting in the shade today because someone planted a tree a long time ago.

I'm not sitting dwelling about the past or stressing or fretting about something in the future.

Comedy is so subjective. You could be in a room with 400 people laughing at a joke and you could just not think it's funny. You're just sitting there like 'Am I in the twilight zone? Why is everyone laughing?' It's such a personal thing. People have such a personal visceral response to comedy.

If you are a great dramatic actor then you often don't know if people are enjoying your stuff at all because they are sitting there in silence. But with comedy it's a simple premise. If it's funny people laugh. If it's not they don't.

No matter what message you are about to deliver somewhere whether it is holding out a hand of friendship or making clear that you disapprove of something is the fact that the person sitting across the table is a human being so the goal is to always establish common ground.

Women oftentimes are the ones making those economic decisions sitting around the kitchen table and trying to figure out how to pay for rising gas prices or food prices or the health insurance costs. And I think that they see where they expect their leaders in Congress to also make those tough decisions.

To see those babies with no food for three of four days old people sitting in the hot sun when you see these poor people you cannot help but being compassionate or affected.

Sitting down to a meal with an Indian family is different from sitting down to a meal with a British family.

There's such big pressure on people who are incredibly famous on those who have people sitting outside their front door and taking photos every time they move.

I think it's useful as a famous person to have as little separation between the perception of you and how you really are - because otherwise I'd be sitting here thinking I'm keeping secrets and wondering when you're going to find out.

I was one those kids who had books on them. Before weddings Bar Mitzvahs funerals and anything else where you're actually meant to not be reading my family would frisk me and take the book away. If they didn't find it by this point in the procedure I would be sitting over in that corner completely unnoticed just reading my book.

I'm worried about that man or woman sitting around - the coffee table tonight or in their kitchen talking about how are we going to get to work. How are we going to have the dignity to take care of our family.

For the first time ever I was taking the family on the road. We stayed with my in-laws which on life's list of experiences ranks right below sitting in a tub full of scissors.

Each party steals so many articles of faith from the other and the candidates spend so much time making each other's speeches that by the time election day is past there is nothing much to do save turn the sitting rascals out and let a new gang in.

With a lot of films people are sitting on the outside looking in but I want the audience to get a bit more intimately involved with what's going on so that they maybe can experience it a little bit more intensely.

I read Freud's Introductory Lectures in Psychoanalysis in basically one sitting. I decided to enroll in medical school. It was almost like a conversion experience.
