Changing your mind is probably one of the most beautiful things people can do. And I’ve changed my mind about a lot of things over the years.
I’m a New Yorker. I was there during 9/11, and I saw how, not only New York City stopped for a moment, we all took an inhale and exhale at the same time – the world united at that time, and it changed my life. I think millions of people were forever changed.
I live in the same house as I did when I started acting. My life hasn’t changed. Only people around me have changed with how they look at me.
They would not find me changed from him they knew – only more sure of all I thought was true.
I care very much about women and their progress. I didn’t go march in the streets, but when I was in the Arizona Legislature, one of the things that I did was to examine every single statute in the state of Arizona to pick out the ones that discriminated against women and get them changed.
In a few decades of reconstruction, even the mathematical natural sciences, the ancient archetypes of theoretical perfection, have changed habit completely!
Especially watching him struggle, cause I was with him when he was struggling – changed his name to The Rock, all of a sudden he has the attitude a little bit, he started getting the mic, started cutting promos. His character just developed.
Playing Etta James in the movie ‘Cadillac Records’ really changed me. It was a darker character, and I realized that if anything is too comfortable, I want to run from it. It’s no fun being safe.
I love rock-n-roll. I think it’s an exciting art form. It’s revolutionary. Still revolutionary and it changed people. It changed their hearts. But yeah, even rock-n-roll has a lot of rubbish, really bad music.
My first show was called ‘I Know I’ve Been Changed’ in ’92. I tried to do this show for years and years. It kept failing over and over and over again. Every time I went out to do the show, nobody showed up. I was like, ‘What is this about?’
I took a workshop from him a few months after that. That experience changed my whole approach to photography. At that workshop in Yosemite in 1973 I decided I wanted to try and see if I could pursue this for myself, and I’m still trying.
Colombians are sick of ‘Narcos’ stories because Colombia is a country that has changed so much. It’s a country that’s completely different from the country that we see in ‘Narcos.’ They reconstructed themselves in 25 years, which is amazing.
When you are chiselling a sculpture, it won’t happen in one day, it happens over a period of time. It’s the same way that my personality has changed over the past 15 years. I am not the same person I used to be and my life experiences are what have made me.
It’s been a long road. I’ve been cut, I’ve been all over the place, but my mentality has never changed.
Benito Mussolini created the word ‘fascism.’ He defined it as ‘the merging of the state and the corporation.’ He also said a more accurate word would be ‘corporatism.’ This was the definition in Webster’s up until 1987 when a corporation bought Webster’s and changed it to exclude any mention of corporations.
137 years later, Memorial Day remains one of America’s most cherished patriotic observances. The spirit of this day has not changed – it remains a day to honor those who died defending our freedom and democracy.
My wife is wonderful. She’s one of the people who has changed my life around… or has allowed ME to change my life around.
Being famous hasn’t changed my perception of myself – I’ve just grown up.
Dad’s Jewish and Irish, Mom’s German and Scotch. I couldn’t say I was anything. My last name isn’t even Downey. My dad changed his name when he wanted to get into the Army and was underage. My real name is Robert Elias. I feel like I’m still looking for a home in some way.
I used to stay up all night, roam around, drink, and carry on like everybody else. That all changed when I got older, started to exercise and play golf. I knew by the time the day was over I would not feel like exercising, so I made it a point to exercise early.
When I was on that boat, I realized the only way I would feel creatively challenged was if I totally changed everything about my environment and put myself in a storm, in a sense.
The moment that changed me for ever was the moment my first child was born. I was happy, filled with hope, and thought, ‘Now I understand the whole point of work, of life, of love.’
But I’ve always been accused of being a bit tight with money, so it hasn’t particularly changed my lifestyle.
I think I understand why baseball players today are a little standoffish, because the world has changed. You don’t know who’s trying to take advantage of you, what people really want.
No novel has ever changed anything, as far as I can see.
I was fortunate enough to hook up with Quincy Jones and had a lot of success. But the music of the ’80s really changed when the ’90s hit. For me to chase that dream or career of music, I started a family, started on ‘Melrose Place,’ so it was something I didn’t have the time or energy.
I’ve been with this young lady for about two years now, and my life changed. I don’t even think that way no more. I feel good, too, that I’m changed. Now I feel regular. I feel like I’m supposed to.
I moved out to New Zealand to live as I thought the warmth and peace and quiet would help me. I went away and changed my whole life routine.
I wasn’t raised Christian. I certainly had to seek Him out and find Him, and it’s changed my life. I’m so glad I did.
‘Star Trek’ put sci-fi on the map and changed television, and ‘Battlestar’ has changed it in another direction by making it a little more mainstream and acceptable to people who wouldn’t normally watch sci-fi.
If I walked back into the booth in the year 2025, I don’t think it would have changed much. I think baseball would be played and managed pretty much the same as it is today. It’s a great survivor.
My style has changed and evolved mainly because I’ve grown to have more confidence in myself.
Most women set out to try to change a man, and when they have changed him they do not like him.
A game’s concept is one of its most important assets. I feel that we must aim to satisfy both beginners and experts, and that hasn’t changed since I was making ‘Kirby’ games.
Las Vegas has the type of audience – and they haven’t changed since my father’s days – they’re still boring and bored. And there’s only that handful of artists that they really enjoy and know how to respond to.
Technically, I have not changed very much. Ask my assistants. They’ll tell you, I am the easiest photographer to work with. I don’t have heavy equipment. I work out of one bag.

Love hasn’t changed, and it never will, no matter what kind of a society we become.
My friendship with The Doobie Brothers never really changed. We’re all still good friends, and I really admire those guys a lot.
When it was first proposed, I was willing to support it as a ‘transitional fuel’ because it had some clear advantages for Hawaii. Much has changed since then. LNG will no longer save us any money.

The Oscar changed everything. Better salary, working with better people, better projects, more exposure, less privacy.
Basically, radio hasn’t changed over the years. Despite all the technical improvements, it still boils down to a man or a woman and a microphone, playing music, sharing stories, talking about issues – communicating with an audience.
While the digital age has done so much to improve our world, it has dramatically changed our social structure, often further isolating us from each other.
My pregnancy changed my relationship with my body because I went from despising it to marvelling at what it can do.
I don’t know really, it doesn’t feel like it has changed to me but I think to have to move with the times. Try out different areas and not get stuck in 1978.
My father is Italian, and I never met my paternal grandparents. The family name was ‘Caroselli’ and it was changed in the mid ’50s. I think they wanted to assimilate, which was pretty common, although I love the name ‘Caroselli.’
Years of drought and famine come and years of flood and famine come, and the climate is not changed with dance, libation or prayer.
I sympathize with the zombies and am not even sure they are villains. To me they are this earth-changing thing. God or the devil changed the rules, and dead people are not staying dead.
When I was eight, I went to the theatre, and I remember looking at the stage afterward and pointing and saying, ‘I want to do that.’ I don’t think that’s ever changed.
Even two of humanity’s most intimate possessions – a sense of self and a body image – are fluid, highly modifiable creations of the brain’s mischievous deployment of electricity and a handful of chemicals. They both can change or be changed on less than a second’s notice.
Sequels are very rarely a good idea, and in any case, the success of the book changed my relationship with the club in some ways.
I’m a very introverted person. Nothing that’s happened has changed that, but one of the reasons I write for teens is it’s a real privilege to have a seat at the table in the lives of young people when they’re figuring out what matters to them.
