I remember looking back on a photo of me… wearing a suit that was, like, two sizes too big for me. I think a lot of guys don’t know what fits.
Looking back isn’t going to help you. Moving forward is the thing you have to do.
Looking back Little Lulu was an early feminist, but at the time I just thought she was a really feisty developed comic strip character.
I’ve grown up watching ‘Mawaali,’ ‘Himmatwalla,’ and my love for masala movies started from there, and ever since, there’s no looking back.
Toward the end of my career with WWE, I found myself in a comfort zone. Looking back at it now with a little more perspective, it was killing me.
The thing about looking back over Clinton’s presidency, and probably anybody’s presidency, is that when you look back, the events all line up in a way that makes sense. At the time, you don’t know where it’s going.
Looking back, we were the luckiest people in the world. There was no choice but to be pioneers; no time to be beginners.
Looking back, I realise it wasn’t only gym I dreaded at school. Every class was a torment. It wasn’t knowledge I objected to but instruction. Why couldn’t they just tell us what books to read and leave us to get on and read them?
Looking back, I truly appreciate just how fortunate I was to play with a guy like Steve Nash.
My guess is that my mom and dad are very actively involved in the affairs of the next life, and they don’t spend too much time looking back. My dad used to say he always looks forward; he never looks back.
Looking back at my school reports, I start off as quite a swotty kid, and then when I get to 12 or 13, my teachers start saying: ‘Lee has started to joke around a lot in class.’ After that, it’s a steady graph of decline, with the jokes increasing and increasing.
Looking back on it now, I felt that I was blessed much like the masters, I guess – the guys who wrote the concertos.
I’m not a great one for looking back.
In comedy, looking back is more important than looking around at your contemporaries because they are too much influenced by the same time period as you are.
I moved from New Zealand to Melbourne when I was 17. I’d planned to go to university to study French, but I was offered a contract to write and record an album that was too good to pass up. Looking back now I think that was pretty young but, at the time, I was ready to have an adventure.
Looking back I didn’t even know I was depressed, I was just so used to feeling that way and thought that was what life was. I tried telling my family and friends but they just blow you off and say: ‘Yeh right.’ They don’t know what it is, so they just don’t want to be around that.
Looking back over the years, I realize the Bible isn’t magic, but it is corrective; it isn’t an answer book, it is a living book; it isn’t a fix-it book, it is relationship book. When I confront God’s word, I am confronted; when I read God’s word, it reads me; when I seek God’s presence, He seeks me.
Pawan Wadeya’s ‘Googly’ gave me a new lease of life in Kannada cinema. I feel blessed that way. There’s been no looking back since.
I was so ordinary, critics couldn’t understand it, but looking back, that was the reason for my success. What you see is what you get. People thought, ‘I could do that.’
Growing up, I didn’t have older sisters or many strong female role models to look up to. Being an adult now and looking back, I realize how much I wanted someone like that.
The most he would do was to promise that the gates of hell should not prevail against it. It is about all that, looking back on the history of the Church, one can feel that they have not done.
Age isn’t a barrier to playing the bass, and I’ve definitely improved over the years, although maybe I’m not as flash as I once was. But looking back, I can’t imagine a life without a guitar.
When you experience difficulty at work or in your life, instead of looking back on it as something that was really challenging, look at it and ask yourself, ‘What wisdom did I learn from that?’
It’s funny: over time, if you’re fortunate, you build a nice career, and you have these interesting moments, and I would not, looking back, trade any of them – ‘Red Tails,’ ’12 Years a Slave’ and ‘Undercover Brother.’
Growing up, there was a lot of pressure for women to be good-looking, but my mum was very strict, and she didn’t allow me to wear make-up. Looking back, it was good for me. It slowed me down from becoming an adult too quickly.
Looking back, the biggest mistake I made was feeling ashamed of it. Acne is a part of life. You don’t need to be embarrassed of it.
I was in a band in Auckland, and I remember they all hated me. They had a big intervention. They said, basically, ‘Gin, we think you suck.’ I was miserable. I cried and cried. But looking back, that taught me about social skills and how to communicate with musicians.
Looking back, I am grateful for so many friends who helped me in my youth to gain a testimony of the restored Church of Jesus Christ. First, I exercised simple faith in their testimonies, and then I received the divine witness of the Spirit to my mind and to my heart.
When I first started, as long as you were a bit brown, you could play any kind of ethnic anything. Now it’s much more localised and specific. I feel like a wise old woman looking back on the evolution of how much more sophisticated audiences are.
I don’t wear much make-up in my non-working life, though I love to dress up and put on a face for a special occasion. As I get older, I see less of the fantasy ‘Indian’ self I inherited from my father, and I see my mother looking back at me.
If I could go back in time, I would have loved to have done more with Triple H. He blossomed into a bigger star after I left. I regret, looking back now, that we didn’t have more matches or better matches or at least one pay-per-view match where we could have really showed our best stuff – or, at least, I did.
For me, I find that even though I’ve accomplished a few things in my life, looking back on accomplishments doesn’t give me a sense of satisfaction.
Looking back at it now, it’s almost overwhelming, the amount of work that went into writing ‘Shine’, and to come up with the ideas that we’re doing now.
It is not possible to go forward while looking back.
The past is a stronger influence in the South. But I think everywhere you have this sense that the world changes faster than you can accommodate yourself to. Looking back and seeing how you got where you are is a useful way to combat disorientation.
Looking back, there is nothing wrong with that peace, love and equality that the hippies espoused. In many ways, we have regressed because they were into organic food, back to nature, make love not war, be good to all men, share and share alike – which is what many are talking about now.
Looking back, I can see that the women I loved, at least early on, were status symbols. I suppose, in that sense, I was my mother’s true disciple. She’d taught me that a good man, though elusive, could transform one’s whole life once he was caught.
There were a lot of hard times, and having to have a team of people help me out of the bed, having to use a bedpan is a really tough thing to swallow. But looking back, I’m proud of my scars and what myself and my Marines went through in Marjah.
Ever since I made tomorrow my favorite day, I’ve been uncomfortable looking back.
I always pined for the guys who didn’t know I existed. Looking back now, the friendships are what mattered. My best friend is still a girl I met in junior high.

My first book was called, ‘Mountain, Get Out of My Way,’ where I did an autobiographical sketch, if you will, looking back at myself and looking back at things in my life, and juxtaposing them against things that are happening in other people’s lives and trying to be motivational.
I said to myself as Junction Point embarked on the Epic Mickey journey that, worst case, we’d be ‘a footnote in Disney history.’ Looking back on it, I think we did far better than that.
I’ve written all my songs on every single one of my records, and that’s what’s been fun about looking back.
Can you imagine that Cuba and Europe’s youth, who had forgotten about traditional music, who only thought of rock music, are now looking back towards their grandparents? That is a phenomenon.
Looking back on it, when I was eight or nine, of course I did see myself on TV, so in a way, I was privileged.
Looking back, one of the things I love most about my mom was that she never, ever relented. She stuck to her guns right up until the end. She wasn’t abusive, but she was never that thrilled that I was gay.
Looking back over all the sporting spectacles of 2016, I still pinch myself at the things I was fortunate to witness in person.
Looking back, I feel for the missus. She used to get the worst of me.
I’m not big on looking back beyond the moment in which decisions and events occur. I’m always pushing forward.
Looking back now, thinking about that moment in the lights, with my heart pounding, Oscar in my hand, all I can say is I am grateful and humbled – still to this day. Next to marrying my husband and the birth of my children, it is one of the best days ever.
