The hardest thing for me is walking. Can you imagine you’ve got a metal pole and if you put pressure on it like a strong walk, you can walk.

I think the hardest thing about my life is that I’ve met so many people all over the world who I love, but they’re not friends with each other.
Once you achieve a goal and you are on that high, you have to consciously pull yourself in to say, ‘I need to have the same hunger and desire as when I had nothing.’ That’s the hardest thing to do in life. That is getting challenged every single day once you win titles.
The hardest thing for – not only an artist but for anybody to do is look themselves in the mirror and acknowledge, you know, their own flaws and fears and imperfections and put them out there in the open for people to relate to it.
Being vulnerable is the hardest thing for so many people, including myself, but it’s also the most satisfying thing.

The hardest thing about living in Canberra is that almost everyone who doesn’t live here asks: ‘Why on earth would you live in Canberra?’ Loudly, and in a way they would never use to discuss anywhere else. And they never listen to the answer.
It’s very important to stay creative and not simply to wait around for people to want you. It’s the hardest thing about the business.
A timeless pop song is the hardest thing to do as a songwriter.
I love doing emotional scenes. As I’ve had a perfect life, I don’t really have much to pull from. But it’s really fun and not that challenging. It’s almost pretty easy. The hardest thing is to try and make people laugh. That’s a really hard thing.
For those of us who spent our careers competing with David Broder, the hardest thing to abide was the inevitable comparison. If someone said Jack Germond – or Jules Witcover or Walter Mears or whoever – ‘is a pretty good political reporter,’ the default response would be, ‘but he’s no David Broder.’
Listening to your instincts, while being the easiest, can also be the hardest thing to do.

I’m convinced to do improv. All you have to do is listen to what people are saying to you, and then just add more information to what they’ve just said. That’s all there is to improv, but it’s the hardest thing to do.
It scared my mom to death when all my friends started driving. She always told me she wanted me to drive, but I think she kind of felt lucky that I didn’t get my permit when all my friends did. I think that’s been the hardest thing for her, watching me go out with my friends and literally drive away.
The hardest thing to understand in the world is the income tax.
The hardest thing to write was explaining what anxiety feels like. Every time I’d try to really write about what it feels like to have an anxiety attack, I would actually have an anxiety attack. It was good material but so incredibly uncomfortable.
It’s what I learn from the great actors that I work with. Stillness. That’s all and that’s the hardest thing.
It’s the thing I struggle with every day: the mental diligence and stamina needed to sit in front of the computer, open the file, start writing and to keep doing so, word after word, until I’ve created the next story. A combination of learning disability and chronic health issues make that the hardest thing for me.
I think the hardest thing to reproduce, though, is the g-forces. When you turn a corner and all of a sudden you have three, four, maybe even five times the force of gravity pushing against your body, it’s literally trying to push you through the side of your car. There’s no way to duplicate that feeling.
The hardest thing writers have to do is figure out for themselves who they are. What should they be writing about? What stories should they be telling? What does writing mean to them? I didn’t know the answers to those questions for a long, long time.
People are at their best when they can be natural. And that’s the hardest thing as a photographer.
To play like John Bonham is the hardest thing in the world because you’re not John Bonham. It’s how you breathe out of your heart. It’s your emotions.
Scaring someone’s the hardest thing to do, and that’s why most of these scary movies are not scary. They’re sick, but not scary. There’s a lot of sickness out there, of people who then sit there and watch it, which I think is absolutely dismaying.
Directing film is the hardest thing I have ever done.
The first line of the song is always the hardest thing to write. And then after that, the song should – unless it sucks – it should write itself.

The hardest thing as an actor is that you work really hard constantly for these roles, and you invest so much in it. And when they don’t come to fruition and nobody sees them, there’s a part of you that dies a little bit. It’s like, ‘Ah! But I worked so hard!’ But that’s the business.
The hardest thing in life to learn is which bridge to cross and which to burn.
Pregnancy was probably the best and the hardest thing I’ll ever go through. I know for a lot of women, it can be wonderful and relatively easy.
The hardest thing for me is not to keep laughing. Jennifer particularly is like a clown.
Breaking up is the hardest thing we do. It’s the most important thing we do, in a way. You’ve got to embrace rejection, or you’ll maintain a very limited life. It’ll be very nice and neat – and very, very small.
Getting sober was one of the three pivotal events in my life, along with becoming an actor and having a child. Of the three, finding my sobriety was the hardest thing.
The hardest thing about becoming famous is trying not to lose yourself. The thing I like best about it is the recognition of my work.
The hardest thing about being a kid actor is just kind of separating ‘this is my professional life’ and ‘this is my kid life.’ That was always the hard part for me.
The hardest thing about being an unpublished writer is that there’s always that voice in your head that asks if you’re really being a fool. You might just really stink and not know it. You have to have a lot of blind faith in the process. You have to like it so much that you’re going to do it anyway.
The hardest thing to have is success, because it seems to tell people what you are. But it doesn’t.
The hardest thing to do in this league is to get a proven star. It’s just very hard to do. It’s hard to do in free agency; it’s hard to do in trades. You get very few opportunities to do it.
I hated writing ‘Love Warrior.’ It’s the hardest thing I’ve every written. I cried.
I think just consistency. That’s the hardest thing to do in this league, especially for a rookie. There are going to be ups and downs.
