I am not someone like A. B. de Villiers, Gayle, or Dhoni. I don’t have that much power. I have to use my brain to manipulate the field and stick to my strength, which is to hit through the lines.
I never understood why anyone would do magazines. Like, why would someone put their face out there so much? It’s because those people reading magazines will go see the movie, so you do it.
So many people prefer to live in drama because it’s comfortable. It’s like someone staying in a bad marriage or relationship – it’s actually easier to stay because they know what to expect every day, versus leaving and not knowing what to expect.
If you are successful, it is because somewhere, sometime, someone gave you a life or an idea that started you in the right direction. Remember also that you are indebted to life until you help some less fortunate person, just as you were helped.
Someone told me it’s all happening at the zoo.
I’ve had faith my whole life that there was someone looking out for me, a spirit guide, a soul guide.
The buying of time or space is not the taking out of a hunting license on someone else’s private preserve but is the renting of a stage on which we may perform.
I have two homes, like someone who leaves their hometown and/or parents and then establishes a life elsewhere. They might say that they’re going home when they return to see old friends or parents, but then they go home as well when they go to where they live now. Sarajevo is home, Chicago is home.
You don’t have to give birth to someone to have a family. We’re all family – an extended family.
Someone once told me… ‘Anh believe in your dreams!’ I always have and always will, and I think that if you follow your dreams in life, you really can live an amazing life.
It only stands to reason that where there’s sacrifice, there’s someone collecting the sacrificial offerings. Where there’s service, there is someone being served. The man who speaks to you of sacrifice is speaking of slaves and masters, and intends to be the master.
I’m not on any social media. I know people who have met on Twitter and through Facebook. I had a friend, someone liked her photos on Instagram, and they started direct messaging each other and went out on a date! That’s so foreign to me.
I read and walked for miles at night along the beach, writing bad blank verse and searching endlessly for someone wonderful who would step out of the darkness and change my life. It never crossed my mind that that person could be me.
I think I lived those years very impersonally. It was almost as though I had erected someone outside myself who was the president’s wife. I was lost somewhere deep down inside myself. That is the way I felt and worked until I left the White House.
An ancient dictum says that when Zeus wanted to destroy someone, he would first drive him mad.
I like animals, all animals. I wouldn’t hurt a cat or a dog – or a chicken or a cow. And I wouldn’t ask someone else to hurt them for me. That’s why I’m a vegetarian.
If you want to lift yourself up, lift up someone else.
A smile is so sexy, yet so warm. When someone genuinely smiles at you, it’s the greatest feeling in the world.
Someone is sitting in the shade today because someone planted a tree a long time ago.
When you love someone, you don’t try to change them.
I was like the class clown in school so I guess I would say I did like the attention. In church I did a lot of plays, my mother made me play characters, do a lot of drama and acting, trying to become someone else. So it helped me create who I am, to create Snoop Dogg.
Before I came out, the thought of someone calling me gay, even when I knew very well that I was, was petrifying.
When someone does something good, applaud! You will make two people happy.
I wanted to get my coaching badges after retiring, and I asked to take the exam, but they told me I needed to study for four years. I told them they were crazy. Who is going to study for four years? How is someone going to teach me technical things when I know more than they do?
That term, ‘David and Goliath,’ has entered our language as a metaphor for improbable victories by some weak party over someone far stronger.
People don’t care about what someone says about you in a movie – or even what you say, right? They care about what you build. And if you can make something that makes people’s life better, then that’s something that’s really good.
You’ll be someone’s favourite, and someone else is going to hate you, aren’t they? I know that I can’t please everyone, but what I can do is be myself and be true to my values.
Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength, while loving someone deeply gives you courage.
No amount of success is worth it to me if I can’t share it with someone I love.
Most of us don’t invent ideas. We take the best ideas from someone else.
My friends have said, ‘Wait, you’re pretty, and you sing? What do you mean you’re interested in science?’ I have to just hold my head and go, ‘Do you hear yourself?’ By no means should you ever limit yourself because of what others think or because of their perceptions of what someone looks like in a certain field.
When I’m playing, I’m never through. It’s unfinished. I like to find a place to leave for someone else to finish it. That’s where the high comes in.
What makes someone sexy in my mind is who they are. It’s not necessarily how they look.
If there’s any message to my work, it is ultimately that it’s OK to be different, that it’s good to be different, that we should question ourselves before we pass judgment on someone who looks different, behaves different, talks different, is a different color.
I want someone who can make me laugh and just be normal and understand my lifestyle and how I wanna live it.
If you’re with someone, it’s because you’re moving in the same direction, and you both are looking for the same thing. Both of you have to share the same concept of what a relationship means.
You can miss someone every day and still be glad you don’t have to see them.
Someone once told me growth and comfort do not coexist. And I think it’s a really good thing to remember.
It is hard to read a newspaper or watch a television newscast without encountering someone who has come up with a new ‘solution’ to society’s ‘problems.’
You never know what’s going on in someone’s life. You never know what’s really going on behind what they present.
Censorship is saying: ‘I’m the one who says the last sentence. Whatever you say, the conclusion is mine.’ But the internet is like a tree that is growing. The people will always have the last word – even if someone has a very weak, quiet voice. Such power will collapse because of a whisper.
To me, it’s not the end of the world if I end up not being with someone. I love romance. I love sex. I love men’s company, but I don’t feel I have to be married. Men are a wonderful part of life, like chocolate. But my life goes on whether they’re there or not.
You have to be someone.
You don’t have to fit into a mold that someone else has defined.
Growing up in America, I experienced two puberties. The first opened me up to the possibilities of adulthood. The second reinforced that for someone like me – an immigrant, a minority, an Asian-American – there were limits.
Someone may ask, ‘How is justice greater than all the other virtues?’ The other virtues gratify the one who possesses them; justice does not give pleasure to the one possessing it, but instead pleases others.
If you have something to say then you want someone to pay attention or at least to have the opportunity for them to tell you to shut up and go away.
The most exciting thing is not doing it. If you fall in love with someone and never do it, it’s much more exciting.
When someone does a small task beautifully, their whole environment is affected by it.
I would never marry a stupid man. Someone who argues, someone who fights, I cannot stand that.
I have no problem if someone wants to hug me – if I know him!
I just want to make pictures that are entertaining. I’ll leave the scenery chewing to someone else.
Sometimes you just got to give yourself what you wish someone else would give you.
When I have sex with someone I forget who I am. For a minute I even forget I’m human. It’s the same thing when I’m behind a camera. I forget I exist.
Sometimes you have to get to know someone really well to realize you’re really strangers.
When someone asks if you’d like cake or pie, why not say you want cake and pie?
I consider myself a law-abiding person. But I’m exhausted. I don’t know where to put the bottles, newspapers, cans, and other stuff for garbage pickup outside my house. The rules are so thick you need someone from M.I.T. to explain them.
If someone tried to deprive you of your rights, you’ve got to resist it. You’ve got to resent it. You’ve got to fight against it.
Unless you love someone, nothing else makes any sense.
Once the brokerage house, rather than the bank, became the locus for American savings, that money would find its way into the stock market, because the broker was someone with a much higher tolerance for risk than the banker.
It is really hard when you spend your life living out of a suitcase. But it really does weed out superficial people – if someone is still with you after the second movie, then they’re probably a good one! I like to trust people in general – it’s the southern girl in me.
