I didn’t start really focusing on writing until I was 24.

Two months before I re-signed with WWE, I decided just out of nowhere that I will start dieting, to work on my body and train harder. I started focusing more. Two months later, WWE called me back to re-sign. That was not a coincidence but the universe telling me that I am ready.
Everyone seems so excited by the fact that music is more accessible, people can find new artists more easily and it’s cheaper, without focusing on the potential negatives, not least of which is that idiots can more easily listen to your favourite music.

I feel like I should show people that no matter where you come from – you can get beat by your stepdad, if you get picked on for your clothes and having no money – I just feel like everyone should know it will be all right as long as you keep focusing on trying to move forward and looking at the positive things in life.
I’m focusing on the issues that bring people together and build broad majorities.
I don’t want to think results, I don’t want to think positions. I just want to come in, do my job, and we’ll see where we end up. I think that’s the best way to look at it, because then you start focusing on the outcome rather than focusing on the work that it takes to get to that outcome.

At this point in my life, I’m not going to spend a lot of time focusing on dissatisfaction with who I am, and I’m not going to spend a lot of time tempering my personality. Whatever job I have next, I’m going to be somebody who wants to get things done.

I didn’t apply for shadow cabinet, because as an MP, I had nine critic portfolios, and so it doesn’t make any sense for me to be focusing on just one of those as an adviser on policy to the party.

It’s very important that you focus on winning games and being consistent down the stretch. I think that’s what we’re focused on. All of the other stuff about who wins and who loses and how many wins do we need, if we’re focusing on that, then that’s not good.

I don’t always enjoy curating, but I do believe it’s part of my job. It’s a good exercise for my brain, like warming up. Just focusing on my work would be so depressing! For me, curating is necessary – it’s like physical training.
The Tories must stop focusing on their ideological obsession with a hard Brexit and their internal party divisions and start focusing on what is best for our country and our economy. Their absurd proposal that the U.K. should become the E.U.’s tariff collector is neither practical nor palatable across the Channel.
