I have visited Ajmer Sharif Dargah a couple of times before, and each time, it fills my heart with so much love and gratitude.
I’ve been lucky enough to have had the luxury of being able to make the picture I’ve wanted to make each time on my own terms and without compromise.
I’ve had to work very hard, and I don’t really have a category or fit into any niche, so each time I come out with a new record, it’s like, I’m a new guy.
I hate personal competition, and so each time in my career I came in a field where it was highly competitive, I gave up.
Even if you’re playing Brahms or a Beethoven concerto, you’ve got to have a different vantage point, slightly, each time.
Each time I seem to go through one of life’s huge things, I want to play music.
I did a series of these soft-core horror movies called ‘Mirror Mirror.’ I got killed in ’em all – and each time, I came back as a different character. They were all straight-to-video.
Trust is very important. In ‘Goodfellas’ in the ‘Go home and get your shine box!’ scene, we must have filmed 15 takes. If you played each take back, the timing would be exactly the same each time.
Each time I caught sight of geese swooping in formation across the sky, I wondered how our life below might look from their perspective, and imagined that, were they ever to indulge in such speculation, the high-rises might seem to them like firs massed in a grove.
In Naples, each time I go out people want to take my photo or ask for autographs.
Every film is like a baby for me; it’s like my own child. I feel protective and aggressive each time my film hit theatres.
I will keep smiling, be positive and never give up! I will give 100 percent each time I play. These are always my goals and my attitude.
If you took some famous religious leader, for example, and said it would be nice to clone them indefinitely so you have a dynasty of leaders, my own guess would be that each time the cloning takes place, they would become more and more defective, presumably mentally defective and subsequently worse.
Wash four distinct and separate times, using lots of lather each time from individual bars of soap.
You can never step into the same book twice, because you are different each time you read it.
Ultimately, Lloyd Alexander’s tales of Prydain were enough to make me come back and visit again and again, and each time, I laughed and I wept. Each time. No exceptions.
‘Ulysses’ is like a big box of tricks that you can dive into. Each time you read it, you find something new.
We’ve suffered a ‘Ponzification’ of the economy in recent years, as bubbles have built up and then burst, and each time we act as though it’s the first time.
Shakespeare is renewed each time you see it or read it. I’ve seen ‘Midsummer Night’s Dream’ so many times, and each time it’s a little different, or a different line leaps out at me. It’s like re-reading a good book over and over, always noticing something you hadn’t seen the time before – and that’s rare.
I want to keep working with the best, keep going and be a better actor each time I go and dive into something.
Because Led Zeppelin weren’t having to worry about doing singles, each time we went in to record, it was a body of work for an album. So you could get the shift and the movement forwards as opposed to having to be rooted back to a single that might have been done a year ago.
It was important to my father that I go to Hebrew school three days a week for two or three hours each time. To me, it felt endless. Think about it from a kid’s perspective: I would finish my normal school day, then get on a bus and go to another school. That was tough to take.
I wish to present myself in front of the camera, each time under the features of a different woman. I would like to live and apprehend the problems, the conflicts, the feelings and the impulses of women radically different from me.
When I went to do law, I kind of drifted through that and thought, ‘I can pass these exams.’ And I didn’t – I failed three times, and each time I did worse and failed by a bigger margin. And that taught me so much.
I love what I do. And in the true sense, from my training, I try to create a character each time. It is something I do. But I don’t want that term to limit what I can do. I prefer people to say to me, ‘You’re one of my favorite actors,’ rather than ‘You’re one of my favorite character actors.’ It sounds like a slam.
I’m someone who likes new things, likes change. But I also like challenges. I was a little bit of a prisoner to my challenge each time.
The men and women who make up a plane’s crew put their lives in jeopardy each time they fly. It’s our job as much as anyone’s to make sure we make it as safe as possible up there for them.
The process of composing the film score for each movie is completely different. They all have their own personality and their own completely different life, but there’s never been a formula. Each time, it’s a new thing.
When I think about putting together an album, the process of listening to hundreds of songs each time and picking out the best 10 or so that will go on the record, it really sinks in as to just how many songs I’ve listened to all these years.
I’ve done stuff in the past and followed in the footsteps of my heroes, and each time, it felt a little bit surreal.
You obviously learn each time you go on tour, with each concert, with each song, from all your mistakes. But everything we did was authentic.
Acting deals with very delicate emotions. It is not putting up a mask. Each time an actor acts he does not hide; he exposes himself.
I always wanted to be a character actor rather than the poster boy that they tried to make me 100 years ago. An actor has a degree of responsibility to change for the audience, to give them something new each time, to surprise and not bore them.
It’s the same each time with progress. First they ignore you, then they say you’re mad, then dangerous, then there’s a pause and then you can’t find anyone who disagrees with you.
Jazz is the only music in which the same note can be played night after night but differently each time.
There have been so many ‘James Bond’ movies, ‘Spiderman’ films, ‘Mission Impossible’ series, etc. Is there any difference in the basic story? Yet, each time there’s a release, people are excited.
Each time you do a film you gain a lot of experience and build a visual resume where people get to know who you are.
I’ve been fascinated over the years by the way refrains work. Think, say, of the refrains in Yeats’ ballads. Ideally, each time the refrain comes back in a poem, it is both the same and different. It works by counterpoint and reiteration. It accrues meaning.
Each time I invent something and have it manufactured, it’s so incredibly exciting that I can’t imagine ever wanting to stop. Envisioning new products is easy for me. I just don’t have enough time in the day to design them all.
Listening to the stories my colleagues are researching and grappling with – in terms of access to documents, psychological understanding of their subjects, artful composition and determination to extrapolate from an individual’s life lessons and insights that we can all learn from – I am each time overwhelmed by joy.
I had a real computer solitaire problem. I’d gotten to the point where I had to win a game before I could write, and each time I got up to get a cup of water, I had to win a game. It was a nightmare.
I’d like, each time out as a writer, to reinvent who I am and what I’m doing. That’s one of the great pleasures and rewards of the occupation.
I attended speech and drama classes with a nun to help me gain confidence in speaking without my face turning red each time.
Black men and women were not allowed to register to vote. My own mother, my own father, my grandfather and my uncles and aunts could not register to vote because each time they attempted to register to vote, they were told they could not pass the literacy test.
She goes through the vale of death alone, each time a babe is born. As it is the right neither of man nor the state to coerce her into this ordeal, so it is her right to decide whether she will endure it.
At a certain time, an artist needs a big retrospective. At other times, they need a more focused exhibition. It’s a different story each time; it’s about establishing a dialogue.
Keep on beginning and failing. Each time you fail, start all over gain, and you will grow stronger until have accomplished a purpose – not the one you began with perhaps, but one you’ll be glad to remember.
Every challenge brings something different and I get better each time I fight.
But each time I seemed to be climbing into a roller coaster and finding myself coming through the downhill run with that sort of dazed feeling that we all know.
Each time dawn appears, the mystery is there in its entirety.
Each time I go back to bat, I will want to get more and more runs.
I believe that filmmaking – as, probably, is everything – is a game you should play with all your cards, and all your dice, and whatever else you’ve got. So, each time I make a movie, I give it everything I have. I think everyone should, and I think everyone should do everything they do that way.
If I could talk to my younger self, I would just say that the path to great things is filled with a lot of stumbles, suffering, and challenges along the way. But if you have the right attitude and know that hard times will pass – and you get up each time – you will reach your destination.
