Trust your own instinct. Your mistakes might as well be your own instead of someone else's.
Someone who thinks the world is always cheating him is right. He is missing that wonderful feeling of trust in someone or something.
Actually I started to become an actress because I met someone who was just a friend and I found his life wonderful I thought Oh my god you can travel you're free you can do what you want you're the boss. And then I met an actor and I was in love with him.
Until the June 1967 war I was completely caught up in the life of a young professor of English. Beginning in 1968 I started to think write and travel as someone who felt himself to be directly involved in the renaissance of Palestinian life and politics.
I've worked with a band and it's nice to have someone to travel around with but I didn't like it as well on stage.
A travel book is about someone who goes somewhere travels on the ground sees something and spends quite a lot of time doing it and has a hard time and then comes back and writes about it. It's not about inventing.
Be of service. Whether you make yourself available to a friend or co-worker or you make time every month to do volunteer work there is nothing that harvests more of a feeling of empowerment than being of service to someone in need.
Next time I tell you someone from Texas should not be president of the United States please pay attention.
It's life isn't it? You plow ahead and make a hit. And you plow on and someone passes you. Then someone passes them. Time levels.
Every time I go and shave I assume there's someone else on the planet shaving. So I say 'I'm gonna go shave too.'
Acting is a nice childish profession - pretending you're someone else and at the same time selling yourself.
Honesty is the cruelest game of all because not only can you hurt someone - and hurt them to the bone - you can feel self-righteous about it at the same time.
Whether if soul did not exist time would exist or not is a question that may fairly be asked for if there cannot be someone to count there cannot be anything that can be counted so that evidently there cannot be number for number is either what has been or what can be counted.
The very existence of flame-throwers proves that some time somewhere someone said to themselves You know I want to set those people over there on fire but I'm just not close enough to get the job done.
When someone shows you who they are believe them the first time.
I'm very thankful to players like John Stockton and Spud Webb. They've made it possible for someone like me to make it. I think teams are actually looking for one player under 6-feet now because they make things happen.
Be thankful for problems. If they were less difficult someone with less ability might have your job.
I don't like being compared to anyone or being in a class with someone. I'm a teen actress and therefore I'm competing against Hilary Duff. We're different people like everyone else.
The federal government... knows how to put a missile in someone's room half way around the world with technology. Why don't we use some of that technology to save some lives here in America?
I have run large organizations I know what it takes to create a healthy business climate and I have more experience than Jerry Brown doing that. So it'll be a stark contrast a career politician vs. someone who has met a payroll gotten a return on investment knows how to use technology to do more with less.
What's happened with computer technology is perfectly timed for someone with my set of skills. I tell stories with pictures. What I love about CGI is that if I can think it it can be put on the screen.
I go and see anything that's visually new any technology that's about picture-making. The technology won't make the pictures different but someone using it will.
I watch too much cable I admit. Day after day it gets frustrating. Yesterday I watched as someone called legislation to prevent teacher layoffs a bailout - but I know that's not a view held by many nor were the views I was frustrated about.
The fact of the matter is that when there are feelings involved and you like someone it doesn't matter if you're an actor a teacher a doctor a lawyer a receptionist - you can't really help it when you have feelings for someone.
Soon we saw that money going to women brought much more benefit to the family than money going to the men. So we changed our policy and gave a high priority to women. As a result now 96% of our four million borrowers in Grameen Bank are women.
