Fatherhood isn’t always a planned thing, but when it happens you just do it. It’s very natural and in that sense it’s not really difficult.
It’s infrequent that that happens – great performances and magical cinematography and great direction.
Bernard Herrmann used to write all his scores by himself. So did Bach, Beethoven and Stravinsky. I don’t understand why this happens in the movie industry.
I believe in feeling connected. Love is something that grows, that comes from nourishment; it builds. But there is a great feeling that happens, that is telling you, I don’t want to leave this room!
I think everything happens for a reason and all the things that happened to me – good, bad – I’m glad they did. It’s made me ready for life, for adulthood.
You know those award shows. The cliche is that it’s an honor just to be nominated, but that happens to be true. Whoever wins it in the end, I don’t know, sometimes it feels arbitrary. Sometimes it feels like it’s deserving.
Everything happens at one step at a time.
Conforming happens so naturally that we can forget how powerful it is. But the thing that makes us human are those times we listen to the whispers of our soul and allow ourselves to be pulled in another direction.
It’s not about success. Whatever happens, it doesn’t matter. I would like to not go bankrupt or get some incurable disease, but other than that, I’m just happy to keep going.
This is unexposed film of Greenwich Village because nothing ever happens there.
Children show scars like medals. Lovers use them as secrets to reveal. A scar is what happens when the word is made flesh.
Why are we born? We’re born eventually to die, of course. But what happens between the time we’re born and we die? We’re born to live. One is a realist if one hopes.
Everything that happens happens as it should, and if you observe carefully, you will find this to be so.
Everything happens for a reason, if you work hard for it.
I was very influenced by The Magic Mountain. It’s a book that had a huge impact on me. I loved that as a shape for a novel: put a bunch of people in a beautiful place, give them all tuberculosis, make them all stay in a fur sleeping bag for several years and see what happens.
I don’t think politics just happens in Parliament. It happens on the streets and in classrooms.
Nothing happens in cricket, ever. Even the highlights resemble a freeze frame.
I think, definitely, this country needs a lower corporate tax rate and tax reform so that we can get our profits that we’ve made overseas back into the country without heavy penalties. And if that happens, I think that would be very good for the market and all of that.
Make the best use of what is in your power, and take the rest as it happens.
Whether the ice caps melt, or expand – whatever happens – the anthropogenic global warming theorists claim it confirms their theory. A perfect example of a pseudo-science like astrology.
What happens when the guy who runs the reactor gets out of bed wrong or decides, for some reason, that he wants to override his instruction sheet some afternoon?
There is this myth, that America is a melting pot, but what happens in assimilation is that we end up deliberately choosing the American things – hot dogs and apple pie – and ignoring the Chinese offerings.
I think what happens is you write how you grew up. And I was born on the prairie, and so everything is kind of spare on the prairie. And so I’m just used to writing in that way. ‘Sarah, Plain and Tall’ was that way. And most of my fiction is. I like writing small pieces. Somehow it just suits me.
One truth stands firm. All that happens in world history rests on something spiritual. If the spiritual is strong, it creates world history. If it is weak, it suffers world history.
I’m an artist who happens to be in drag. And I think that’s why my drag is a little different.
I would expect illegal alien parents to take care of their children. If it means the kids go back home with them, that’s what happens. If it means there are legal relatives in the United States that can take care of them, that can happen to. But I believe it’s the parents responsibility to take care of the kids.
I never try and play a bad guy to be bad and to be brutal and to be nasty and vicious, because I think you’re going to be very cliche there. You know, you’ve got to find the truth in that character and what he believes in. It just happens that, you know, he’s wrong.
If I’m making everyone wait, which happens… at least charm it on a bit. Go, ‘Oh I’m so sorry I’m late.’ Make up something.
Dabbling with Tagore was always scary. It happens with masters, with contemporary poets you know their vibes and their meaning. Tagore was different; his aura and the feel of his language was different.
The pharmaceutical industry isn’t the only place where there’s waste and inefficiency and profiteering. That happens in much of the rest of the health care industry.
Music happens to be an art form that transcends language.
First of all, what happens is, when you’re good at something, you spend a lot of time with it. People identify you with that sport, so it becomes part of your identity.
It’s not what happens to you, but how you react to it that matters.
Life doesn’t stop because something happens to you.
I spent a lot of years on the road, and what happens is you find out who your real friends are and you find out where your strengths and weaknesses lie in communication. I’ve had the same friends for 20 years now and I can count them on one hand.
I’m definitely doing better. I never realized that I would get the support that I’ve gotten from everybody – from my fans, to people that I’ve idolized my whole life. So it’s overwhelming, it’s amazing and I believe that everything happens for a reason so I’m in a really good place right now.
According to the Law of Cause and Effect, every effect must have a cause. In other words, everything that happens has a catalyst; everything that came into being has something that caused it. Things don’t just happen by themselves.
I’m a true centrist: my beliefs put me in the middle… You know what happens to people who drive in the middle of the road? They get run over.
I like the idea that something happens to everybody who comes to L.A. – whether they are Mexican, Irish, black, or hillbillies. You come here, and you leave all your traditions behind. And since there’s no traditions here, you just make one up.
When you think of the sort of things that happen when a genocide happens, it’s again not people who are intrinsically evil.
In a very real way, ownership is the essence of leadership. When you are ‘ridiculously in charge,’ then you own whatever happens in a company, school, et cetera.
I question myself every day. That’s what I still find motivating about this. I don’t have the answers, I don’t pretend that I do just because I won the match. Just keep fighting and maybe something good happens.

I am a teacher. And I think I am a serious one who happens to be enjoying life.
Bullying happens at all ages and levels.
I just feel like a Filipina, a Filipino woman, and it just so happens that when I was growing up, I was very much an Australian, and I think you can be both.
The worst sense of security is a false one. It’s hard for people to wrap their heads around the idea that those in charge – federal, state and local agencies – might be cheating the system. But, all too often, that is exactly what happens.
You write to become immortal, or because the piano happens to be open, or you’ve looked into a pair of beautiful eyes.
Notice the difference between what happens when a man says to himself, I have failed three times, and what happens when he says, I am a failure.
Doubting what you see is a very odd experience. And doubting what you remember is a little less odd than doubting what you see. But it’s also a pretty odd experience, because some memories come with a very compelling sense of truth about them, and that happens to be the case even for memories that are not true.
You’re not looking for perfection in your partner. Perfection is all about the ego. With soulmate love, you know that true love is what happens when disappointment sets in – and you’re willing to deal maturely with these disappointments.
The awkward thing for me is when the realization happens that I actually might like this girl. Then I become awkward.
In the Stephen Sondheim song, when something bad happens in the circus, they send in the clowns. In America’s political circus, they send in the lawyers.
Without promotion, something terrible happens… nothing!
This confidence is not something that happens overnight. I have been working on it for a long time. I look in the mirror and do affirmations: ‘You are bold. You are brilliant. You are beautiful.’ If my lower pooch is really popping out that day, I look at it and say, ‘Pooch, you are cute!’
They have horses in ‘Snow White?’ I am lucky nothing nasty happens to horses in ‘Snow White.’
