You really just have to love the process. I can’t tell you the amount of film sets I’ve been on where people are talking about Oscars in the middle of the production. It happens all the time.
I should like to be able to love my country and still love justice.
Howard Zinn was magical as a teacher. Witty, irreverent, and wise, he loved what he was teaching and clearly wanted his students to love it, also.
I think most people read and re-read the things that they have liked. That’s certainly true in my case. I re-read Pound a great deal, I re-read Williams, I re-read Thomas, I re-read the people whom I cam to love when I was at what you might call a formative stage.
I used to love the ’20s.
Who could refrain that had a heart to love and in that heart courage to make love known?
When it comes to love, the English language bears no shortage of cliches.
For me, writing is an experience. It’s an exercise in which I want to discover myself by taking my characters to the edges of human experience, to the edges of themselves and then, asking certain questions – about love, what does it mean to love? What’s beauty? What is true beauty? What does it mean to be insane – crazy?
You’re not a star until you love yourself. Directors, yeah, they’ve got to love their own philosophies. But actors have to really love themselves.
She is Cuba. If you want to love her, you have to be with her, but you can’t be with her in her current state. It’s the point of view of all exiles – you have to leave the thing you cherish most.
You know it’s very important, the role of a mother… I don’t know, but it’s feminism to me to love your kids.
I used to love looking at a recipe, getting all the bits and pieces in the shops, getting them ready and prepared… I don’t really have the time to do that anymore.
I’m genuine and I’m available. I want people to be at their best. I want them to love and be loved to their fullest ability. My friends call me their relationship nanny, so we have a good time working through problems. Now, I don’t claim to be an expert, but I am a woman who has been through everything.
I don’t have favourites, I think, when you play, you have to be like a prostitute, you have to love the piece you are playing. Even if you don’t like it, you have to play it as if you would like it. Then you are a good interpreter.
If love means that one person absorbs the other, then no real relationship exists any more. Love evaporates; there is nothing left to love. The integrity of self is gone.
It is in your DNA to love a good story. You know, neat tales with heroes and villains and conflicts to resolve. A good story pushes our buttons, is exciting and memorable.
A child’s hope is that your father comes riding in on that white stallion and saves them. You can’t make somebody love you the way you want them to love you, it’s not a Leave it to Beaver type world. This isn’t television. Life’s a lot more cruel than that.
I am a Christian person, and I do love the Lord, and I feel no matter who you are, what you believe, how you live your life, it’s not my place to judge. I don’t have that power. I don’t want that power. It’s my place to love and to show God’s love to other people, even if they don’t live a life like I live.
One of the most radical things women can do is to love their body.
We can continue to learn generation after generation and now is time to begin to learn how to love in a non-discriminatory way because we are intelligent enough, but we are not loving enough as a species.
To me, spirituality means ‘no matter what.’ One stays on the path, one commits to love, one does ones work; one follows one’s dream; one shares, tries not to judge, no matter what.
In school, I used to love eating pav bhaji and kulchey choley from our canteen.
I can honestly say that I am open to love in any way. I guess that makes me bisexual.

I think you need to love giving compliments as much as you love receiving them.
As an actor, I’ve always said, half the audience is going to love you, half is going to hate you so just live with it. It’s easier that way.
I really had to develop a core. I had to figure out, at my core as a writer, what did I value? What was I about? And I had to love it and take pleasure in it.
I realized that, while I would never be my mother nor have her life, the lesson she had left me was that it was possible to love and care for a man and still have at your core a strength so great that you never even needed to put it on display.
In America, now, let us – Christian, Jew, Muslim, agnostic, atheist, wiccan, whatever – fight nativism with the same strength and conviction that we fight terrorism. My faith calls on its followers to love one’s enemies. A tall order, that – perhaps the tallest of all.
You really have to love every single bit of what you do. The moment that you do something that makes you feel queasy to your stomach, the company dies.
The deceptive, glossy media images of faces, bodies and social lifestyles, make us hate ourselves so we will buy a solution to love ourselves once again.
I listen to music mostly in the evening. I’ve come to love what is called world music, like the Zimbabwean Oliver Mtukudzi and the Colombian singer Marta Gomez. I also love the Irish folk singer Mary Black. Other favorites include Chet Baker, Eva Cassidy, and Billie Holiday.
Love is free; to promise for ever to love the same woman is not less absurd than to promise to believe the same creed; such a vow in both cases excludes us from all inquiry.
When an animal dies, it gives you the chance to love another animal. That’s an insightful and profound way to look at it.
What you want is for music to love you back. That’s why you pay your dues. You want to feel like you belong and are part of this symbiosis, metamorphosis, whatever you want to call it.
We hear all around us to love ourselves, and one of the ways we can do that is to eat food that serves our body, but also for us to love the food we’re eating.
Physical circumstances have very little to do with either our capacity to love or to attract love.
To love the one who loves you, To admire the one who admires you, In a word, to be the idol of one’s idol, Is exceeding the limit of human joy; It is stealing fire from heaven.
I’m a Catholic, but I used to love going to Vacation Bible School with my fundamentalist friends.
My number one goal is to love, support and be there for my son.
I had always loved John Ford’s pictures. And I came to love him, too, but I was frightened to death working for him. He used the shock treatment while directing me.
I want women to love Jesus! That is what I would give every single thing I have for, every earthly good I’ve got. That is the greatest desire of my heart.
There is always something ridiculous about the emotions of people whom one has ceased to love.
I think every girl needs to love herself, regardless of anything. Like if you’re having a bad day, if you don’t like your hair, if you don’t have the best family situation, whatever, you have to love yourself and you can’t do anything until you love yourself first.
I used to love martial arts movies starring Bruce Lee and Jean Claude Van Damme. In one of Van Damme’s movies, he would break a pine tree. I would kick banana trees because I used to live on a farm. My father would get mad at me because I would break all of the banana trees around.

Canberra was my home for many years, and there’s a lot to love about it. It has a small population with a strong sense of community and is top-heavy with interesting, highly educated, socially progressive people – the opposite of the stereotypical image of dull public servants.
Love casts out fear, but we have to get over the fear in order to get close enough to love them.
Sometimes it’s easier to love people when there is a healthy distance between us.
I never knew how to worship until I knew how to love.
I happen to love buildings, and my passion is bringing people together.
The sun sucks. I used to love the sun, but now I hate it because it just wants to kill everything. I always tell everyone, if you don’t want to do skin care, fine, but at least put sunscreen on. The reason why we have little freckles, skin cancer, and wrinkles is because of the sun.
The most valuable insight on choosing whom to love is to be honest with yourself about the man standing before you.
I am a free lover. I have an inalienable, constitutional and natural right to love whom I may, to love as long or short a period as I can; to change that love every day if I please.
I tried my hand in action films, and now I am back to love stories, as people like to see me as a lover boy! But as an actor, I want to try all genres.
