I just wanted to go to New York and be on Broadway, but then I was accepted by Juilliard, where they trained me in classical voice. It was great in the end, but at the time, I thought, ‘What am I doing here? This is not my path.’ But it was absolutely my path and where I was meant to be.
I think loathing begets fanaticism, and in the end, loathing begets hatred and violence.
In the end, for me, music is such an internal thing that to let the outside world influence would be against my modus operandi.
I had two experiences. I had a wonderful experience in rehab, and I had a terrible experience in rehab. But, to be honest, in the end, it wasn’t rehab that got me sober. It was just finally surrendering and saying, ‘I don’t want to do this anymore. I can’t do this anymore. Somebody help me.’
It’s all about people. It’s about networking and being nice to people and not burning any bridges. Your book is going to impress, but in the end it is people that are going to hire you.
In the end, the Super Bowl is just a football game. You try to take a couple of big, deep breaths and convince yourself it’s just another game. You try to, anyway.
I was ready in 2008 for the Olympic Games but unfortunately I missed the Kenyan trials with a thigh injury. I watched those Olympics but it was tough to watch. But it was good in the end because a Kenyan, Wilfred Bungei, was the champion.
My relationships are based on personal reciprocity. Being a Dodger was a matter of heart, but in the end I felt they didn’t want me.
Not playing guitar on ‘World On Fire’ gave me additional time to fine-tune lyrics and melodies, which improved the songs in the end. I’m very happy with how it turned out.
You just have to trust your instincts and hope that if someone doesn’t like your idea, you can prove them wrong in the final process. In the end, you can please some of the people some of the time, but that’s about all you can do.
I was always in trouble for chatting. My school reports all used to say, ‘Donna is a very bright girl, but she must stop talking in class.’ In the end, I made a career out of it.
First, I would find an object which I would think is suitable for my characters and stories, then write about it, and in the end, I ended up with a house full of thousands of objects.
In the end, all new schools, public or private, snobby or not, add value to the education market, making it bigger and more efficient, in the same way that Zuckerberg added wealth to the economy even for non-Facebook fans.
The trickster’s function is to break taboos, create mischief, stir things up. In the end, the trickster gives people what they really want, some sort of freedom.
But even race-neutral policies and recruitment efforts designed to achieve greater diversity are, in the end, not race neutral.
The scandal happened and I made the best of it. I kind of feel like in the end it was a blessing.
In the end, the only people who fail are those who do not try.
I don’t know what really makes a great musical or not. In the end, you write it, and you write it because you want to write it.
You want to leave something; you really do. I mean, in the end, statues and all those things, that doesn’t mean anything. Leave something that we’re all going to benefit from. I think that’s what I’d like to do.
I’m not going to beat this life. It’s gonna get me in the end. So accepting that is a real freedom and finding a joy in working that I haven’t allowed myself before.
We made a clear commitment to NATO’s two percent goal. I know that we can’t get there from one day to the next, but I’m just as clear on the fact that we must get there in the end.
People are going to figure out that I don’t know anything. I always thought I’d be discredited in the end.
In the end, ‘Star Wars’ insists that you can’t be redeemed without attachment. That’s the strongest message of the saga, and that’s what makes it speak to people’s deepest selves.
As is well known, ‘McCarthyism’ was an alleged focus of political evil in the 1950s: Accusations of Communist taint, without factual basis; bogus lists of supposed Communists who never existed; failure in the end to produce even one provable Communist or Soviet agent, despite his myriad charges of subversion.
In the end, the sign of Aretha Franklin’s artistry is that she always leaves her mark – first, on the music, then on us.
If you come into success too soon, you’ll burn out and be finished before you know it. If you let the maturation process happen naturally, you’ll be happier with yourself in the end.
If you get too attached to how you want it to come out the other side, you freeze. I try to trust that it will work out in the end.
I’m not motivated by money or power or fame. In the end, it doesn’t bring much happiness. The only thing that is driving me is self-satisfaction, self-validation.
I hope in the end that people will remember what Reagan said: that if he could get 80 percent of what he wanted, you call it a win and move on.
In the end, only a good actor stands out; if I am not a good actor, I won’t stand out.
Injustice in the end produces independence.
That was one of the big problems when I was at Harvard studying music. We had to write choral pieces in the style of Brahms or Mendelssohn, which was distressing because in the end you realized how good Brahms is, and how bad you are.
Even though I believe a superlative translation can achieve timelessness, that doesn’t mean I think other translators shouldn’t attempt other versions. The more the better, in the end.
It’s really cool when the thing you are working on as a small team gets embraced by millions, but in the end, it’s about your character and the script and your director and the rest of the cast and crew.
But there was no question in my mind that I was gonna still go for it. I was still going for the win. I wasn’t skiing for second or third place today, and in the end I think that’s probably what got me there.
My parents weren’t keen on the giving up of school at the beginning to go into singing and dancing, but once they saw I was serious about it, they gave support. I was quite stubborn about my decision, and in the end, they realised it was for the best.
In the end, for me, football is still a game. Even if you are a professional, you need to have fun when you are on the field. If you don’t enjoy your job, you don’t have fun.
Keep the circus going inside you, keep it going, don’t take anything too seriously, it’ll all work out in the end.
In the end, does it really matter if newspapers physically disappear? Probably not: the world is always changing. But does it matter if organisations independent enough and rich enough to employ journalists to do their job disappear? Yes, that matters hugely; it affects the whole of life and society.
In the end, the great leveler in any sport is performance on the field or on the court. Kids don’t care what language players speak or if they eat tacos, rice, or sauerkraut. They don’t care if they’re white, black, or brown.
Here I am, a black man with a white man’s heart. In the end, that’s what God wants us to do. He wants us to help, and he wants us to share.
Wolfsburg might be a smaller club when you look at reputations and I thought about it long and hard. I could have stayed at Chelsea. Mourinho told me that I would get my chance. You have to make a decision, though, and in the end I only wanted to play football again.
I think I bought into that whole rock n’ roll lifestyle, and all that does in the end is kill ya. So I don’t recommend it to anyone.
The individual who can do something that the world wants done will, in the end, make his way regardless of his race.
You have to be somewhat ruthless with your work. You have to let things go. Even your favourite little part might not work in the end.
To me, a bag in a tree is like a flag of chaos, and when I remove it, I’m capturing the flag of the other side. In the end, it doesn’t matter how ironic or serious or even effective on a larger scale bag snagging may be.
I am confident that, in the end, common sense and justice will prevail. I’m an optimist, brought up on the belief that if you wait to the end of the story, you get to see the good people live happily ever after.
Allowing casinos to operate without having races could result in the end of dog racing in Florida as we know it. Right now, greyhound racing is in many cases a money-losing proposition, but the dog tracks are forced to continue it because they have to have races in order to operate the lucrative casinos.
I believe that refusing to quit and refusing to fail will trump talent and brilliance in the end.
In the end, we should not forget that playing football is our job. So people should accept that wages will always play a role in a player’s decision-making.
Home is, in the end, not just the place where you sleep, but the place where you stand.
People seem to expect when that happens, for players to be brought in that are so much better than the ones that have left. In the end they might be better but in the beginning they might be worse. Because they all have to gel and get to know each other and get to know you.
Barcelona has always had issues with Brazilian players: Neymar, Romario, Ronaldinho, and me. We were all treated badly by the club in the end, despite all our contributions and dedication.
