Sometimes in the past when I played something might make me lose focus, or I would go home after a game where I thought I could have played better and I would let it hang over my head for a long time when it shouldn’t.
I do not believe it makes sense to say that nuclear weapons are inherently evil. In certain circumstances, they can play a positive role – as they have in the past. But clearly they have a power to do great harm.
I have in the past overly trusted people and was, in turn, let down by some. Since then, I have learned the difference between putting faith into people and blindly trusting them.
I think partly the problem with Yes – and I’ve had this discussion with people from the Hall of Fame in the past – is that it’s going to be difficult to decide how many of the members of Yes you’re gonna put in it and how many you’re not because of the extensive membership of the band through the years.
DeLillo has said that he no longer feels a compulsion to write long, compendious books. In his later years, Saul Bellow said something similar. DeLillo, of course, has written very long in the past, notably with the 850-page Underworld (1997), and his story has been America.
Whenever I’ve been stuck on a project, it’s always brought me solace to the return to books that moved me in the past. It’s a nice way to get outside my own head; and it brings me back to one of the most important reasons I write at all: to bring some pleasure to readers, to make them think or feel.
If you want to make more money, you’ll have to do things differently. You will have to do things you never even thought of doing in the past. You will have to do things out of your comfort zone.

With light field technology, there is a huge opportunity for creativity in photography that hasn’t been available in the past.
The nature and the DNA of IMAX has been redefined in the past years to shoot these huge blockbusters. But I think that it’s not the sole purpose of IMAX to capture cars exploding in your face.
In our case, we have no script. So the only people we can work with are people who have been working with us in the past, and they know we are going to do something; it’s kind of a trust.
In the past 20 years and more since China embarked on the road of reform and opening up, we have moved steadfastly to promote political restructuring and vigorously build democratic politics under socialism.
Every time I’ve talked about my family in the past, people have ended up getting upset. So I said to my friends and family: ‘I shan’t refer to you at all, and there’s nothing for you to get upset about. There’s the deal.’
I’m very lucky because I don’t half get some juicy jobs. But I can’t tell you the number I’ve turned down in the past 20 years because I wanted to be at home, looking after my son. There was never any question about that. Alfie and I are dead close. I can’t bear it when he’s away.
People always think that because of ‘Dr. Quinn’ that I just play nice family stuff. But the truth of the matter is that ‘East of Eden’ was a very successful thing for me in the past. I’ve played a lot of very evil people in my time.
Sometimes you need other people to embody situations so that you can talk about things that for you are important. And I think that being able to hope for the future is what builds in us the strength to just get rid of things that, in the past, can hurt.
In the past, when we’ve tried gene therapy, we haven’t had tools that have allowed targeted gene correction.
When it’s the same team that’s created magic at the box office in the past, you know you are in safe hands.
In the past, I’ve allowed myself to record songs that I wish I had not, but agreed to for one reason or another.
I made some choices that weren’t right in the past. It cost me in terms of my confidence and everything.
In the past, a writer had to go outside and get to know others before learning about their work, but the Internet has made humanity more accessible for misanthropes like me. I read blogs, tweets, Facebook posts and Reddit threads where people detail their jobs.
In the past, TSR and now Wizards of the Coast have asked me to do game stats for my characters, and I’m never comfortable doing that. It’s all relative after all.
Floods, droughts, and natural disasters are a fact of life for farmers, ranchers, and foresters. They have persevered in the past, and they will adapt in the future – with the assistance of the scientists and experts at USDA.
There are too many leaders anointed because they have a public voice – television, radio, or record, or whatever. That even includes myself. In the past, I’d say, ‘Don’t anoint me when you can anoint yourself.’
In the past, people used to tell me to shut up a bit. But what I believe is to put out your opinion and let everyone else react. If I’m wrong, I’m wrong.
I was bashing Israel in the past because nobody else was exposing its true record. Many people are doing it now, so I switched hats from a critic of Israel to a diplomat who wants to resolve the conflict. I have not changed, but I think the spectrum has moved.
But in the past, US companies have been able to increase their profits through downsizing in the US, through colonizing other people’s resources, and through the increase of globalization.
Comparing in the past years, Tamyra Gray and everyone else that didn’t win but their careers are doing well.
The movies that I’ve done in the past, everybody’s been like, ‘Cam always gets away in a movie playing Cam.’ So, like, I’m trying to step outside the box a little bit just to show my range in acting.
I haven’t collected memorabilia. I am not a person who lives in the past.
Everyone’s gone through a breakup, and I’ve dated girls in the past where… I’ve never had a messy breakup, thankfully, but I’m never the one to end it. I’m always caught off guard as to why things ended because I guess I’m oblivious in a way.
The history is important because science is a discipline deeply immersed in history. In other words, every time you perform an experiment in science or in medicine, what you’re actually doing is you’re answering someone, answering a question raised by someone in the past.
I’d like to do something where there’s a strong female character and some action. I’ve done a few stunts in the past.
Yes. I do about 70 shows a year, in the past year I’ve been to Italy, Australia, Japan, China, just about everywhere. I do it because I love singing. The money is a bonus.
I have, in the past, been attracted to really strong and dominant men. But on the other side, I have been attracted to very androgynous men. I don’t typically fall for your average jock. I just like people that are a little atypical.
I think I’ve learned how to be a better boss. I’m the one running the show now, and in the past, I’ve always kind of been looking at other people to make the decisions. I feel more confident to run not just my show, but behind the scenes, too.
We all sort of do want incentives for creative people to still exist at a certain level. You know, maybe rock stars shouldn’t make as much; who knows? But you want as much creativity to take place in the future as took place in the past.
I don’t try to match wine with food, I just drink what I like. And I think a lot of people are going towards that now, which never used to be in the past.
Trump, of course, has been very wrong in the past about important issues such as President Barack Obama’s place of birth and Mexican immigrants, but the Republican frontrunner is correct in saying that former Republican President George W. Bush did not keep the country safe during the 9/11 terrorist attacks.
I know more now than I did in the past about the process of democratization. I know more about the pitfalls.
If I’m too busy looking in the past, how can I see what’s in front of me with the future?

From the moment that a fight ends, that fight is in the past, win or lose.
I must be careful not to get trapped in the past. That’s why I tend to forget my songs.
I’m not someone who lives in the past; I find other people live in my past. I live in the present and the future.
I have turned away from the thought of writing fiction in the past through what I suppose is, actually, fear. The direct, raw invitation for the reader to come in and explore my imagination is fairly scary for me so I have busied myself with so much else.
That was one of the lessons I had to learn – just relax and play. Don’t worry about what’s happened in the past; don’t worry what’s going to happen in the future. You are playing a game you dreamed your whole life about playing. There’s no sense in ruining it by worrying or doubting.
In the past, there’s always been one leader that has led the pack to development of the music.
In the game of cricket, a hero is a person who respects the game and does not corrupt the game. The one who doesn’t or corrupts the game, they are the villain. They should be punished, and they have been punished in the past.
I’m not a tart. I feel like I’ve been treated like one in the past.
