I liked school, but I used to dread those moments when the teacher would call me up to give an oral report. I forced myself to deal with it and not dwell on the class in front of me – to keep a straight face, give the report and concentrate on getting it right. That’s normally how I perform. That’s how I am.
I did not dwell on the issue of Europe during either the 2001 or the 2005 campaigns – despite it being a pivotal personal concern and despite seeing it as something of a litmus test for liberal democracy.
In baseball, my theory is to strive for consistency, not to worry about the numbers. If you dwell on statistics you get shortsighted, if you aim for consistency, the numbers will be there at the end.

You must not under any pretense allow your mind to dwell on any thought that is not positive, constructive, optimistic, kind.
I do try not to dwell on the past too much, because I have a tendency to do that, and as I’ve gotten older, I’ve gotten very good at distancing myself from shoulda, woulda, coulda.

I don’t like to dwell all day over one scene as you do in a big feature.

I don’t think anyone expected me to get the BAFTA. The bookies didn’t have me down. It’s definitely made a huge difference in my career, but I don’t dwell on it.

The success of one film may convince the filmmaker to try repeat his successes and get into a competition with himself. One cannot dwell on periodic successes. You have to look at it as a temporary, passing thing.
It’s probably the ethos of our program – like, you learn from the past but never dwell on the past. It’s just a mindset of we don’t wallow, we don’t worry… we just attack.
A period of time is as much an organising principle for a work of fiction as a sense of place. You can do geography, as Faulkner did, or you can dwell on a particular period. It provides the same framework.
Certainly, there were tough times, but no, you can’t go back and change it. So, why dwell on it?
I live in the moment. I try to win as many games as I can in any given year. That’s what I’ve always tried to do. But I don’t dwell on the past games. That doesn’t help you win games now. If that helped win games now, I’d dwell on them.
What is happening now to me in my career is amazing, so I dwell on the things that are happening rather than the things that aren’t, because what’s the point? It doesn’t make them happen.

There is stuff going on inside me. But I have always been told to go out there and pitch like you can’t tell if you just struck somebody out or just gave up a home run. If something bad happens, I don’t dwell on it. Just give me the ball and let me pitch.
You can’t look in the future and can’t dwell on the past. It’s all about the present and what you do each day.

If Christ Jesus dwells in a man as his friend and noble leader, that man can endure all things, for Christ helps and strengthens us and never abandons us. He is a true friend.
You build on failure. You use it as a stepping stone. Close the door on the past. You don’t try to forget the mistakes, but you don’t dwell on it. You don’t let it have any of your energy, or any of your time, or any of your space.
I try not to dwell too much on the success of ‘Squid Game.’
I would have liked children, but I am not all disappointed. I’ve had a lot of stuff thrown at me in life so I don’t dwell on it.
Marriage and family are ordained of God. The family is the most important social unit in time and in eternity. Under God’s great plan of happiness, families can be sealed in temples and be prepared to return to dwell in His holy presence forever. That is eternal life!
I don’t mean to criticize anyone in any way that I wouldn’t criticize myself. I think people should have fun, and have a good time, and enjoy the luck that we have to be lazy and dwell in consumerism. But I think that it’s a balance. And our job as actors is empathy.
