I’m a massive believer in brands. Silicon Valley has tried to reprogram everybody to think brands aren’t valuable. Or theirs are, but yours aren’t.
In this game you can waste a lot of energy wondering about other people’s opinions when the one that actually counts is yours. Because that’s your job, to lead and to manage.
You create a blueprint of your best performance, and you’re happiest the night you surpass that blueprint. That won’t happen that often, but it will happen. It’s like sculpting: you keep refining.

Know what the old masters did. Know how they composed their pictures, but do not fall into the conventions they established. These conventions were right for them, and they are wonderful. They made their language. You make yours. All the past can help you.
Lives, like money, are spent. What are you buying with yours?
Strengths are not activities you’re good at, they’re activities that strengthen you. A strength is an activity that before you’re doing it you look forward to doing it; while you’re doing it, time goes by quickly and you can concentrate; after you’ve done it, it seems to fulfill a need of yours.
What I try to do is that when I’m at home, I’m at home. We’re working hard at putting away our devices and not taking calls. Sometimes, you have to, but I’ll say, ‘Look guys, I’ve got to take this call, but when I’m done, I’m all yours. I just need 20 minutes.’
Falling in love is the best way to kill your heart because then it’s not yours anymore. It’s laid in a coffin, waiting to be cremated.

One nice thing about growing up Catholic is it makes you open-minded about other people’s religions, since ours is nuttier than yours.

The polls are just being used as another tool of voter suppression. The polls are an attempt to not reflect public opinion, but to shape it. Yours. They want to depress the heck out of you.
I don’t use a debit card. The safest thing is a credit card because you’re using the bank’s money. If someone accesses your information, they are stealing the bank’s money, not yours.
For pity’s sake, if you don’t take a shine to a novel, there are loads more in the world; read something else. Continue suffering, and it’s not the author’s fault. It’s yours.
I couldn’t not play a Les Paul guitar. Les always used to point to my Strat and say, ‘Why do you have that piece of crap around your neck?’ I’d say, ‘Yours are too heavy. I had to drill holes in it.’
It’s always fun to see faces that are either familiar or resemble yours. I was fascinated by movies like ‘Big Trouble in Little China’ growing up because there were so many Asian people in it! The same with ‘Year of the Dragon’ or ‘The Last Emperor’. It was just so great to see so many Asian actors working.

I’ve heard a few times, in three or four years, this league is going to be yours. I don’t like that. Because I think I’m established now.
You’re creating an intimacy that everybody feels, that it’s their experience, not yours. I’ll never introduce a song and say, now this song is about ‘my’ broken heart.
A state school class can only learn as fast as its thickest child. Your kid misses stuff, mine has to wait while yours catches up.
There’s a shortage of perfects breasts in this world. It would be a pity to damage yours.
Sometimes when you film, you can be in a bit of a bubble, and then suddenly when you finish filming, it’s taken out of your hands – it’s not yours anymore, and we all love it so much that we feel quite protective of it.
Changing someone else’s life positively changes yours for the better as well.
It’s not like I want to hop on a bandwagon, because I said it 15 years ago – bringing a child into your life who is not genetically yours is one of the most beautiful things you can do. But I’m also interested in having my own baby, too.

No, I never had any dreams. The process of art is a dream in itself. The artist just doesn’t… you work out something. It’s yours. You don’t have to go to sleep to do that. You do that on the canvas.
Being a professional screenwriter is perhaps the hardest occupation. Because nothing is ever yours and, by the nature of the medium, you are never ultimately responsible for your work. It can be interesting – if you have another outlet.
When he was with you, he was totally yours. Of course Papa might tell you to wait in the car for five minutes while he talked to just this one person and he’d be right back. He might be gone an hour and a half. He was a very hard person to get out of places, actually.
I know a lot of people fear the rougher types who might be at a state school, but surely it is better to know who they are and how to deal with them than for that kind of child to appear as a completely different species to yours.
When you have the chance to go against a brother of yours on the court, you’re always looking at each other like, If you score, we’re looking at each other. If I score, I’m looking at him.
What you possess in the world will be found at the day of your death to belong to someone else. But what you are will be yours forever.
When I take a knee, I am facing the flag with my full body, staring straight into the heart of our country’s ultimate symbol of freedom – because I believe it is my responsibility, just as it is yours, to ensure that freedom is afforded to everyone in this country.
I live a life of creating, sharing music with wonderful musicians that I love like family, and spreading a message through music that life is yours to live wide open, and do it your way with love.

All the knowledge that I get, all the access that I get, I try to pass that down. And not open a door, and close it behind me.

An idea is so impersonal; it is yours today and the whole world’s tomorrow.
