Greatness will come by looking forward – untethered from the politics of the past and anchored by our shared values – and by changing our nation’s future.
I’m one of those people who’s always changing. There’s nothing wrong with it but it means I am a hard person to hold onto, I guess.
I worked with someone who told me they’d never like me. But for some reason, I just felt like I needed her approval. So I started changing myself to please her. It made me stop being social and friendly. I was so unhappy.
Architecture is the will of an epoch translated into space. Living, Changing, New. Not yesterday, not tomorrow, only today can be given form. Only such architecture is creative.

It’s fantastic that the world is becoming more open to different ways of working, but we still have a long way to go in terms of changing perceptions.

I will never apologize for changing the approach or strategy when the facts change.
Musicians – we’re not doctors. We’re not saving people’s lives. We’re not going out and changing the world. We’re not coming up with cancer cures. We’re not any of that. They’re the real heroes of the world.
The voice of the people has been said to be the voice of God; and, however generally this maxim has been quoted and believed, it is not true to fact. The people are turbulent and changing, they seldom judge or determine right.
I’m sorry, it’s true. Having children really changes your view on these things. We’re born, we live for a brief instant, and we die. It’s been happening for a long time. Technology is not changing it much – if at all.
You are who you are and what you are because of what has gone into your mind. You can change who you are and what you are by changing what goes into your mind.
I love every minute of fatherhood, staying up all night, changing nappies, kids crying, I find it really funny and inspiring. It connects you to the world in a new way.
These are matters of external history. They are indeed prominent objects, often changing and giving a new direction to the current; but they tell us not why it flows onward and will ever flow.
We’ve got to put a lot of money into changing behavior.
Cinema is changing every week, and multiplex audiences are demanding every week.
The present moment is changing so fast that we often do not notice its existence at all. Every moment of mind is like a series of pictures passing through a projector. Some of the pictures come from sense impressions. Others come from memories of past experiences or from fantasies of the future.
With evolution, things are always changing, so I sort of think: Should we all be growing three heads?
When you look around right now, Nashville is kind of going through another changing of guard; you’re watching the Martina McBrides and the Faith Hills and all of them that have been the big stars for the last however many years, and the next generation is coming in: Miranda Lambert, Carrie Underwood, those girls.
Gender is not an easy conversation to have. It makes people uncomfortable, sometimes even irritable. Both men and women are resistant to talk about gender or are quick to dismiss the problems of gender. Because thinking of changing the status quo is always uncomfortable.
I hope more people will ask diamond companies to continue changing the way they do business in Africa.
When I was learning to drive, I thought the big milestones were changing gear, changing lane, and three-point-turns.
In the States everyone aspires to be middle class. It’s so engrained into the American psyche: As long as you work hard you’re going to be rich some day. The history of Britain is that if you’re born working class, you’re going to stay there, although that is changing.
I know there are fewer women comics, and I think there’ll continue to be an inherent sexism in many industries, comedy being one, just because things do take a while to evolve. Things are changing, but it’s going to take time. I accept this rather than getting angry about it.
Changing my name was traumatic for me.
My experience on ‘Jarhead’ was life changing.
In my own words, I played some significant part in changing the social-sexual values of our time. I had a lot of fun in the process.
Music is always changing and the changes are unpredictable.
Activating is about changing people’s perceptions of overlooked or invisible spaces. A building can become an archetype, invisible, like for a New Yorker, for example, the Statue of Liberty. You look at it, and it disappears into the thousands of times you’ve already seen it.
I am not at all particular about things like hair styles and colors. Especially with women, changing their hairstyle or color is a bit too commonplace, don’t you think?
If our history can challenge the next wave of musicians to keep moving and changing, to keep spiritually hungry and horny, that’s what it’s all about.
The question of sexual dominance can exist only in the nightmare of that soul which has armed itself, totally, against the possibility of the changing motion of conquest and surrender, which is love.

The ideal of behaviorism is to eliminate coercion: to apply controls by changing the environment in such a way as to reinforce the kind of behavior that benefits everyone.
What a costume designer does is a cross between magic and camouflage. We create the illusion of changing the actors into what they are not. We ask the public to believe that every time they see a performer on the screen, he’s become a different person.
Your body begins to change when it burns and shakes… so when an exercise is challenging, I always think ‘feel your body changing.’
I feel so lucky that I met the love of my life. You know somebody’s in it to win it when they’re changing your IV bag or you’re having a seizure and they’re holding you. And helping you to the bathroom. You know that they love you.
If you don’t change, you’re dead, so I try to keep changing.

The experience of democracy is like the experience of life itself-always changing, infinite in its variety, sometimes turbulent and all the more valuable for having been tested by adversity.
For me, there is a guiding compass that just lives inside of me. Every time I’ve gone against it, something bad has happened. As long as I stay in line and honor it, it has really been life changing.
I may find myself changing my notions about what I want to do right in the middle of a film. And on days when I’m feeling merry, I shoot merry scenes, and on gloomy days, I shoot gloomy ones.
I think that there is a changing wind. There are black conservatives out there, and their voices need to be heard.
Until he announced his immigration policy last week, Obama had the support of most Hispanic voters – but not the enthusiasm they had shown for him in 2008. That may be changing in part because of the decision not to deport young immigrants whose undocumented parents brought them here as children.
Relationships do change throughout the course of your life, and I always think in terms of relationships changing and evolving rather than starting and stopping.
Sometimes I’m really funny, sometimes I’m quiet, sometimes I’m shy, but I’m constantly changing.
I stick closely to the structure of the myths. I may have some fun with the mythology by changing the environment to modern-day, but the structure of the myths, the monsters, the relationships of the gods – none of that is made up.
I see the first ‘Bourne’ movie as really kind of a fulcrum in changing the modern action film, where things are really gritty and really character-driven. Think about how the entire Bond franchise was completely radicalized by Bourne.
