Self-esteem doesn’t have to just be about the way you look; it can be about your talents and passions. All of those things can build someone’s confidence and show them that they have self worth and they are important.
Not exactly sure there can be a final chapter to Thanos, considering what he is and his relationship with Mistress Death. Might just be that as long as there is a Marvel, there will be a Thanos to plague that universe’s heroes.
From what I can see, gone are the days where you can just be the strongest, and that will put you at the top. It takes a little bit more… something else to grab the attention of not just pro wrestling fans but fans in general – to catch their eye.
I want to go back to Brazil, get married, have lots of kids, and just be a couch tomato.
Doesn’t matter if you’re sad or happy. I can be sad, you can be happy; it’s all good. That’s all I’m saying – let’s just be us.
Doing your job requires different modes, and you can’t just be stuck in one mode where you’re always the shrill outsider screaming at everybody.
This may just be me, but I feel like everyone’s dream is to live as an American high school student. There are so many teen films set in America that you live vicariously through them, anyway.
To me, life is a gift, and it’s a blessing to just be alive. And each person should learn what a gift it is to be alive no matter how tough things get.
I always longed to have someone who would just be there for me. Of course I have Tom. I’m extremely happy that we’re brothers. I wouldn’t be able to work as a solo artist.
I’m obviously really opinionated, but as a producer, you don’t necessarily want the person you’re working with to try to impress you – you want them to just be themselves. Then you can edit or mess around with what they’ve come up with. But you have to allow the artist that space.
I think, at the end of the day, you should just be judged by your work, not on what effect it might have on the world or your community.
I like Taylor Swift a lot. She has really fun, catchy songs. It’s so funny: I always say any guy that’s gonna date her, just be careful, because if it doesn’t work out, they know by now the next single is gonna be about them! I love how real she is. I really respect her a lot as an artist.
In film business or any business, for that matter, there are people with different mindsets. Some would be compassionate and respectful, some might just be the womaniser, but how can we generalise that? That is wrong, I guess… That way, in a male-dominating society, shining is tough for women.
You can’t make everybody laugh. You gotta just do what you think is funny. Just be obstreperous to everybody.
I’m excited about ‘Luke Cage’ with Michael Colter, who plays Luke Cage. I play the villain, Cottonmouth. It takes place in Harlem. It’ll just be amazing for people to get to see an African-American superhero, which there weren’t any when I was growing up.
When I decide to become a mother I will just be that. That will be really important to me.
I think throughout the day; there are always lines or certain words, and I’ll just keep notes in my phone. It might just be one or two words, and then that could inspire a whole song, lyrically.
If your friend’s feeling bad, it’s hard to know what to do. Do you back away or try to help them? It’s a really hard situation that I’ve been in. You want to support your friend. You want to be there. My advice is, don’t get too involved with it, just be by their side. If they need your help, they’ll ask for it.
Now when I step onstage, I have this hour when I can just be completely myself, just a massive ball of energy. Sometimes I get so lost in the performance, people look a little frightened – but that’s a good thing.
Lucky Justin Timberlake has Jessica Biel. I think she would just be the coolest girl to hang out with.
Before I got on full-time medication, I believed that my mental disorder was the reason I could create so much and create well, because it made me crazy. I could go to these dark places and then come out of it and just be human again.
If you can’t play guitar and sing in Nashville, you might as well just be a construction worker.
It’s funny. Some people now are like, ‘Why would you transition? Why can’t you just be comfortable how you were born?’ That was my logic, but at a certain point, I realized that I was born uncomfortable.
When I’m not streaming, I have time to reflect on all the growth, and I don’t like that. I’d rather just be home playing. I’m like, ‘I haven’t played a celebrity in a while. I haven’t done something big in a while. Is it because I’m slowing down?’
I think you need to figure out your balance. ‘Cause if you think too much about that there’s people around and – and how you’re singing and looking and performing, I think that it won’t be a good performance. Then, on the other hand, you can’t just be in your own world.
A perfect day for me would just be a day that goes the way I plan.
Everything used to get under my skin, and now I’ll just be like, ‘That’s life.’ I’m so much more unbothered.
You can drive an SUV, but there’s a balance. If you do that, maybe use energy-efficient light bulbs at home or just be conscious of switching off lights. If you can afford to drive an SUV, maybe you can afford to make a donation to a wind farm or plant some trees. It’s all about balance.
When I went back to New Hampshire after graduating from law school, my plan was to go work for a private firm because I had to pay some student loans off and make money and really just be in the private practice of law. Which can be very rewarding.
A lot of times black actors get stuck in a box. They’re up against a lot of limitations for the kind of films that they get approached about. It’s easy to get stuck in a box and just be approached about nothing but urban films.
To have a song work for the movie, it can’t just be written apart and shoved in. It’s got to come out of the action. It’s got to talk about the characters, not the story: it has to augment that action.
I will sit in the car on the way to a meeting and just smile. I really mean that. It helps you get through life. If you have nothing to say, smile. Look up at the sky and smile. Just be grateful.
Growing up, I’d just be at home, playing tennis, spending my allowance on an ice-cream truck.
I think, in any artist’s mind, you can’t just be into yourself. You have to look at the world in an objective view.
I want to have a food truck that would just be bathrooms. I would line it up in back of the other food trucks, and I’d charge $1 for use.
We cannot just be a corridor to smuggle minerals out.
There’s a ton of stuff in mythology and folklore that is loaded with wonderful creatures that I haven’t drawn yet, but that’s kind of my retirement plan. Theoretically, I won’t be doing comics any longer, and I’ll just be drawing and painting whatever the hell I want. Most of that will be monsters.
I don’t want to just be, ‘Oh, he was good back in the day.’ I want to be known as one of the best.
Black English is simpler than standard English in some ways; for example, it often gets by with just ‘be’ and drops ‘am,’ ‘is,’ and ‘are.’ That’s because black English arose when adult African slaves learned the language.
I don’t want to just be in the normal kind of teen movie.
I think I’ve been inspired by Chris and his ability to be raw and genuine and admit flaws and let it be whatever it is. That’s something I’m trying to do, too, is just be real… That way ends up being very healing with people.
Meditation is key. It’s a crazy world we live in. Everything is happening so fast in our world, so to take a moment and clear the mind and just be totally present is so healing. I want to meditate more.
I can’t just be the girl who sang ‘I Kissed a Girl.’ I have to leave a legacy.
The only thing we try and do is just be a part of the gumbo that New Orleans is.
Rappers should just be able to perform what they create and satisfy the people that like and love them.
Just be yourself and forget all of the stuff you read in ‘GQ’ magazine.
I spend most of my time at the ranch with my family, and enjoy life – watch the sun come up, watch it go down, thank God for another day, and just be happy.
I’d like to just be a little bit more open to making mistakes and not worrying about it so much.
There’s something fun about the road because there’s no 9 to 5. But I do find myself making the effort to take some time off. As much as I don’t want to, I have to. I need to reset. I love weeks off, because I can go in the studio and just be creative again.
Writing is something I want to explore. If I were to do it, I would want it to be not a book made by a YouTuber; I would really want to respect that craft of literature and just be an author.
Don’t be too influenced by what’s ‘in fashion.’ Just be a bit more individual about it.
I try to not be self-conscious in my writing process. I think it’s important to just be in your subconscious mind – at least when you’re starting an idea.
Being able to say something lyrically, to say something that will do more than just be words, is really hard. It’s easy to do when you’re writing a chapter of a book or writing poetry, but it’s really hard to do when you’re confined to a melody line.
After sessions, I keep working and practising with the left foot. Hopefully one day, it’ll just be fluent.
