Courage can’t see around corners but goes around them anyway.
I didn’t come out until 5 or 6 o’clock in the evening. Sleep all day, sleep and cook and eat, stay in the house. That sun is hot, anyway. It ain’t right out there.
I’ve never been good at rock’n’roll songs, anyway; either I’m blessed or I’m cursed, but whatever I write comes out sounding old.
What’s the point in being an unpopular writer? It just doesn’t make a lot of sense. For me it doesn’t, anyway.
I don’t really know what my personality is anyway. I don’t really have one.
I personally don’t feel the need to be radical for its own sake, but I probably couldn’t if I tried anyway.
I take time to watch anime. I don’t know whether I’m allowed to, but I do it anyway.
Who needs such a long intestine, anyway?
I remember everything but forgive anyway.
Somebody referred to me as a ringleader, which I wouldn’t have classed myself as, but anyway, there you go.
My students know I have a life, they know I’ve written about my life. They know some detail, probably more than they know about their physics teacher, but I would’ve told them anyway!
It may be an instinct, it is with me anyway, when you’re presenting something to the world, to make it as beautiful as you can.
Never explain – your friends do not need it and your enemies will not believe you anyway.
For a homosexual, he’s one of the nicest guys I ever met. And he’s good at what he does. You know, he’s got leadership ability, and if these people here would listen to him, he would take ’em a long way. But anyway, me and Richard got to be pretty good friends – not in a homosexual way, that’s for sure.
In some ways. I always feel between worlds, between cultures, and I think that’s not necessarily a bad place for a writer to be. Writers are kind of on the fringe anyway, observing, writing things down. I’m still mostly American, but it’s a nice tension.
I portray female characters, so I have the opportunity to change the way people look at them. Even if I wasn’t consciously doing that, it would happen anyway just because of how I present as a woman, or as a person. I present in a way that’s not stereotypical, even if I’m playing a stereotypical role.
I have many good friends, but I tend to keep to myself anyway. It’s odd, doing things and having no one to share them with.
Getting to play the blues has been transcendant for me. I can’t say if my finest hour is yet to come, you want to make a dent in this world, well I do anyway.
I’m in California, and that usually leans Democratic, and that’s usually where I lean anyway… I would lean Democrat; I would lean Obama.
You see, I am friends with a lobsterman. Because we are friends, which feels lucky anyway, I get access to the most amazing fish. It’s like having a backstage pass – a culinary jackpot that feels almost undeserved.
I think that there is a sort of spiritual power that is translating into our bodies as we perform. Performers give, and giving is so important. It can heal. That is my experience, anyway.
I don’t believe in luck. Not in golf, anyway. There are good bounces and bad bounces, sure, but the ball is round and so is the hole. If you find yourself in a position where you hope for luck to pull you through, you’re in serious trouble.
I don’t like broad swords. They’re not much fun. A broad sword is just a big chunk of steel, and there’s not much finesse in it, not much skill, I don’t think anyway.
To overcome a fear, here’s all you have to do: realize the fear is there, and do the action you fear anyway.
Irony is the recourse of the weak-minded wimp, I think. I hate bands that deliver their songs with knowing smiles on their faces, so that if those songs fall flat they can say ‘Ah well, we never really meant it anyway.’ It’s so dishonest.
People go to church for the same reasons they go to a tavern: to stupefy themselves, to forget their misery, to imagine themselves, for a few minutes anyway, free and happy.
For somebody famous, it’s weird anyway to meet someone, because they have a preconceived notion of who you are.
When you are raised Catholic, there is one thing that you are confronted with at a young age, and that’s death. You’re confronted with all the big issues – and that sparks deep questions, like what the hell are we doing here, anyway?
Years ago I was a runway model, and I used to get laughs. I thought it was a joke anyway.
I’m rarely invited to start-up parties, but who cares about their trinkets and apps anyway?
I’m really happy with Elektra, I don’t have anything bad to say about them at all. I always knew a major label was the right place for me to be. I never really had an opportunity to go to an independent label anyway.
No woman in my time will be prime minister or chancellor or foreign secretary – not the top jobs. Anyway, I wouldn’t want to be prime minister; you have to give yourself 100 percent.
It’s best not to think about winning or losing trades anyway, because the best ones work out for both teams. But, as a rule, if you’re the team that’s selling – if you’re out of it, and you’re trading with a team that’s in it – you usually have the pick of just about their whole farm system, with a few exclusions.
I’m always a little starstruck anyway. So to work with a movie star, which is Brad, I was excited about that; to work with a movie legend, which is Tony, I wouldn’t have passed that up. Just to get to watch him and watch how he works.
Soon it’s all going to be digital anyway. It’s all going to be saved on a little coin somewhere.
I was the only swimmer in movies. Tarzan was long gone, and he couldn’t have done them anyway; he could never have gotten into my bathing suit.
People think it’s funny that I enjoy dreaming so much. I just use it as a form of entertainment. It’s very private. I don’t see my dreams as separate. I mean, half the time I’m wandering around dreaming anyway.
Anyway, so what he did was, he spread sheets for 100 yards and underneath them he’d put things so there were bumps and different levels and on top he’d put little bushes and if you didn’t look to close, it looked like snow!
It’s all quotes, anyway, and it all sounds the same to me.
I recognize that as the guy who lost the election, I’m not in a position to tell everybody else how to win, all right? They’re not going to listen, and I don’t have the credibility to do that anyway.
In England, we’re around so much American culture and TV anyway, so it’s an accent that’s always in our ear.
I tend to only color my hair once a year because I just like lighter streaks, and then, when I go in the sun, my hair naturally just goes lighter anyway.
I work out not to lose weight but to maintain my good health. And anyway, if I did want to lose weight, it would be no one’s decision but my own.
It doesn’t matter if the water is cold or warm if you’re going to have to wade through it anyway.
Sleeping with your phone in your bedroom is never a good idea, but it’s even worse when you’re bullied online because it’s too tempting to stay up all night trying to ‘fix’ the situation – which isn’t possible anyway.
I have a very positive attitude in life. My insecurity, fear and need to know about tomorrow has fortunately eased. What is going to happen will happen anyway. So why break my head over it?
There is nothing anyone can do anyway. The public has no power. The government knows I’m not a criminal. The parole board knows I’m not a criminal. The judge knows I’m not a criminal.
I always love going home anyway; it’s where my roots are. I always like to go back. It’s a good reminder of where I started and the journey that I still have to go on to get where I want to be.
I don’t do much acting anymore anyway, and not to work for 20th Century Fox is really the least of my worries.
The sublime moment seems to be only a product of allowing yourself to get through, to get to a lot of stuff in your life, write about a lot of stuff and not edit yourself. That is a great lesson to learn for anybody that writes or creates in anyway, to be able to make something without being good or bad.
I write with a sort of grim determination to deal with things that are hidden and difficult, and this means, I think, that pleasure is out of the question. I would associate this with narcissism anyway, and I would disapprove of it.
I never thought I was much of an actor anyway.
And when I’m writing, I write a lot anyway. I might write pages and pages of conversation between characters that don’t necessarily end up in the book, or in the story I’m working on, because they’re simply my way of getting to know the characters.
It’s an experience I’d like to add to the chorus, that these blue-collar, macho men, like my older brother, had the capacity to say: ‘I don’t care, I love you anyway.’ There are young kids thinking: ‘I’ll never come out because it’s too hard in our communities.’ But I’m saying maybe your story can be similar to mine.
Just because you have kids doesn’t mean to say you need time off. I have a lot of time off anyway. If I’m promoting my book, like, for the next two weeks, I’m flat out. But then I’m off again. And when you’ve got the next product, it’s the same; you just condense it into a couple of weeks.
I think when you work alone – the way I do it, anyway – you could sort of liken it to painting, where there’s sort of a one-on-one with the canvas.
