It was Jesus who gave me peace when the shark severed my arm. I trust in Jesus whenever I’m going through a hard time. I see all the beautiful things that have come out of my situation. I’m able to share my story with young girls who have few role models, and I can help others cope with what they have been through.
I’ve tried like hell to make bad movies good, and I can’t. Maybe Marlon Brando has been able to do that at times. But even he has a hard time making ‘The Appaloosa’ a good movie.
When I do music, I have a hard time experiencing it like everyone else, because there’s so much thought that goes into it. You can sometimes fool yourself into thinking it’s better than what it is, which stops me from being creative on the next thing I do.
I can’t stand confrontation, which maybe is a character flaw. But having said that, I do feel like when I do get upset – which is rare, as my husband and family would say – I have a hard time letting go.
If you’re sensitive, you will have a hard time with me.
Obviously, a lot of non-profits live on donations, and that’s a wonderful thing. But higher education can’t exist on donations only because, if that were the case, we would have a hard time paying teachers adequate salaries.
Right from the 17th century, composers who have taken up music as their means of livelihood went through a hard time financially. They were paid only for commissioned works and public performances. And, when their music became famous, orchestras in other cities and countries would pay a small amount to copy the music.
I have a hard time believing athletes are overpriced. If an owner is losing money, give it up. It’s a business. I have trouble figuring out why owners would stay in if they’re losing money.
I can only be me. I have a hard time being a chameleon as a singer.
I had a hard time with bullying. I ate lunch in the bathroom.

Every story I write is different. Some are hard. Some aren’t. ‘Chronicle’ was tremendously easy. I have a hard time comparing my process on different things, but I will say this: The more you write, the better you get at it. That’s one of the few things that’s markedly true.

I feel like a lot of people have a hard time finding what they do, or they have a job or career and not a passion. That’s miserable for me. Just find your purpose; understand that you have one life to live.
I’m someone who has a hard time turning down a conversation. And an even harder time starting a conversation and ending it abruptly – ending it before it’s over.
If you’re thinking like that – ‘Does this person want me for me?’ – then you’re gonna have a hell of a hard time falling in love, ’cause you’re constantly thinking about what they look like on paper.

I’m an Obama supporter. And if you’re an Obama supporter, that means you had a hard time during the Bush years.
The movies I made when I was 14 or 15, I have a hard time looking at those. Those were the awkward years. I don’t know if anybody can look at something they did when they were 14 and not wince.
I have a hard time writing happy things. I really just don’t find it that interesting for me personally to write about that.
I think people sometimes have a hard time placing me because I don’t fit into a box. When they ask what I do at a cocktail party, I either say I’m a Renaissance woman or I’m a high-level madam. Lately I’ve been more comfortable saying I’m an artist, because that can cover a lot of different things.
I love science fiction, but I have a hard time feeling for characters in a galaxy far away. Choosing movies is the one thing in my life where there’s no compromising.
A lot of times, when a band finds success with a certain style or sound, they have a really hard time breaking away from that to grow as artists.

If my daughter wants to get into this business, I would support that decision. She’s going to have a hard time not being in it. She loves food and she’s around it all the time.
Still, American composers working in France have had a pretty hard time.
I have always been an animal lover. I had a hard time disassociating the animals I cuddled with – dogs and cats, for example – from the animals on my plate, and I never really cared for the taste of meat. I always loved my Brussels sprouts.

When I’m not feeling something, I have a very hard time doing it.
Artists are taught to be humble about their impact, especially in folk music. It’s so ingrained that I have a hard time even thinking I had any impact other than what a normal hit song would have.
I have a hard time arguing with stupid people.
People give me such a hard time because I don’t wear dresses. What’s that got to do with anything?
As languages go, English is pretty user friendly. If you look at a tiny language spoken somewhere that most of us have never heard of, chances are it’s going to be so complicated that you have a hard time imagining how people can walk around speaking it without having a stroke.
It was a hard time for me to have a pure moment, to be present, to be here.
I have a hard time saying I’m going to make a whole record of just rock-out songs, because that gets boring, you know? And my voice doesn’t scream very well.

People can say: Okay, it’s not the old-fashioned traditional journalism that took place in the ‘Houston Chronicle’ in 1975 – it’s different. But that’s also why newspapers are having a hard time staying relevant, you know?
