I started writing a journal, and I was learning so much along the way. How to deal with your family, how to deal with your friends.
I’m definitely one of those chicks that when I feel it, I say it. It is what it is; I’ll deal with the consequences later.
It’s never a done deal until it’s a done deal.
When I was very young in London, I had a bank account, which didn’t have a great deal in it. I should think at least every three months the bank manager would call me up and threaten to strangle me because I had no money, and I was writing checks.
I just want people to finish the book and say, ‘I was entertained.’ When I set out to do it, I had no deal in place. I knew it would be tough. I read somewhere that John Steinbeck was turned down 22 times on his first novel. But I was just going to do it.
Just because Fate doesn’t deal you the right cards, it doesn’t mean you should give up. It just means you have to play the cards you get to their maximum potential.
I make fun of Mensa. I don’t know a great deal about Mensa – that’s the high IQ group – but I say, ‘To get into Mensa, you have to have a high IQ, and once you get in, you spend your time congratulating people who are in Mensa with you.’ To me that’s a pretty stupid way to spend your life.
Hillbillies learn from an early age to deal with uncomfortable truths by avoiding them or by pretending better truths exist. This tendency might make for psychological resilience, but it also makes it hard for Appalachians to look at themselves honestly.
Conflict is drama, and how people deal with conflict shows you the kind of people they are.
I generally make a point to finish my shot in the initial couple of takes with the goal that the execution would be genuine, and it naturally makes a great deal of strain.
I have to be entertained by what I’m writing, so a lot of my stuff has a goofiness or scatological quality. If these characters can entertain me, then I feel like I can deal with the darker or more serious stuff.
I don’t want to go negative on Franklin Delano Roosevelt, but he didn’t pass an economic deal in the first 100 days. We have passed the largest Recovery Act in the history of the country.
I wasn’t a good-looking child. I got screwed out of the genetic deal. My sister looks like a model. I think that’s why I’m a comic. I’m deeply insecure, since I was always feeling ugly. I wasn’t a healthy child. I had poor self-esteem. That’s why I need people’s approval.
For my very first movie, ‘Roger and Me,’ I made it as part of my deal with Warner Brothers that the four people that were evicted in that film, that Warner Brothers would house – would pay their mortgage or their rent for the next two years to give them a chance to get on their feet.
It hurt me a great deal. It put a lot of pressure on me because I was at a young age and the writers around here and throughout the league starting comparing me to Cobb. It put a lot of pressure on me.
Deal faithfully and truly with your own soul.
A great deal of my mail comes from fans of the ‘Oz’ picture – fans of all ages. The scholarly, the curious, the disbelievers write and ask how? why? when? what for? did you fly? melt? scream? cackle? appear? disappear? produce? sky-write? deal with monkeys? etc., etc., etc.
It was a big deal to me to play characters and feel things and connect to somebody in a fake world.
The thing that inspires me most is empathizing with people’s flaws and seeing how they deal with them. That sort of connection you feel with someone when you realize that maybe even the negative things that they’ve said or done are because of insecurities or injuries they’ve endured.
We should all learn from our experiences, but I don’t think hatred is the best way to deal with ignorance.
It took me fifty years to deal with the Holocaust at all. And I did it in a literary way.
To have a successful writing career, you must be willing to sacrifice a great deal. The book, the deadline come first before anything else. Writing is not a job; it is a lifestyle, and it is a roller-coaster ride of highs and lows. You need self-confidence and an iron carapace.
At this point in my career, I don’t have to deal with audition rejections. So I get my rejection from other things. My children can make me feel rejected. They can humble you pretty quick.
I have always said that everyone is in sales. Maybe you don’t hold the title of salesperson, but if the business you are in requires you to deal with people, you, my friend, are in sales.
The dirty little secret on Wall Street: Eighty percent of the Wall Street executives’ and their spouses’ donations go to Democrats. It’s like they’ve got some kind of little sweet deal, where we’ll call you fat cats and demean you and stuff, but you will get richer than your wildest dreams.
We will not be thanked by anyone for dragging the country out of the E.U. on a deal for which the public have shown no enthusiasm. For MPs that would be an abdication of responsibility.
Sometimes my brother and I – we’re twins, and sometimes we joke that we’re like a two-headed monster. We can be hard to deal with because we don’t break ranks; we stick together.
I’d rather deal with a Mob guy shaking hands on a deal than a Hollywood lawyer, who, the minute you get the contract signed, is trying to figure out how to screw you.
Let’s just get a deal done then let’s worry about expanding it.
People need to realize bullying has just as much of an impact online because words are so cutting and difficult to deal with.
A marriage ends up being a business deal: no matter how long or short it is, somebody owes somebody money.
I guess the first big name I worked with was Sissy Spacek, and that was really interesting just because she’s so incredible and I learned so much from just watching her. But she’s also so unassuming that I loved working with her. It wasn’t like working with a star, it was Sissy. Not a big deal.
In short, Republicans under Trump have finally destroyed the New Deal, turning the government over to a small cadre of wealthy businessmen, unhampered, to run the country as they see fit.
I have a great deal of company in the house, especially in the morning when nobody calls.
I like to listen. I have learned a great deal from listening carefully. Most people never listen.
I think that huge Christian institutions deal a lot with corruption. You see it happen with so many institutions. We’ve seen the questions with Catholicism, we’ve seen the questions with some other mega churches that really do exist.
I’ve talked about sex a great deal in my music for a great while now. I feel very comfortable with it.
An approximate answer to the right problem is worth a good deal more than an exact answer to an approximate problem.
Nothing really surprises me anymore. You put yourself out there – you’re open and honest with what you have to deal with.
God made me the way I am for a reason and I would never change that. I lead a normal life as much as possible and deal with the bumps in the road as they come along with my head held high and a smile on my face!
What I quickly learned after my diagnosis is that the world of a cancer patient has many parts and a good deal of uncertainty.
The science of booby-trapping has taken a good deal of the fun out of following hot on the enemy’s heels.
My salary is converted to bitcoin, and taxes are taken out. You have to do all the tax computations in dollars because the IRS does not deal in bitcoins.
Well, I thought the deal was, when you went to work for the government you weren’t supposed to make money!
After all it is those who have a deep and real inner life who are best able to deal with the irritating details of outer life.
My uncle is a hemophiliac, and my brother is one as well. I am a carrier, and it’s a disease that my kids also deal with. It’s something that has affected my family and I for so long, and I think it’s actually what drove me to comedy as a means to cope during tough times.
Throughout life people will make you mad, disrespect you and treat you bad. Let God deal with the things they do, cause hate in your heart will consume you too.
Not a great deal is known about the factors in childhood that doubtless underlie a person’s choice of career – I’m talking now about a career to which one is passionately committed, in contradistinction to a career chosen merely as a means of earning a living.
How you deal with adversity says a lot about the kind of players you’ve got and the kind of team we’ve got.
Like I said, everybody has got something they have to deal with health-wise, and everybody’s human. I should look after myself better, but so should everybody, right?
Things present themselves to you, and it’s how you choose to deal with them that reveals who you are. We all say a lot of things, don’t we, about who we are and how we think. But in the end it’s your actions, how you respond to circumstance that reveals your character.
I’m proud that I’ve even had a career, but ‘proud’ isn’t the first word I’d use. I feel lucky that I moved to Manchester when I was 12 because I don’t think I could have done this in Ireland. And I feel lucky that the government took care of me from the age of 16 to when I signed my first record deal at 19.
People love to be scared. I guess it’s a primal deal.
The work is intense. You have to calculate a great deal very quickly which requires football intelligence and real concentration. Part of my role is to shuttle between the defense and the attacking lines to make sure that the ball circulates well and quickly.
