I always want my books to reach a positive point in the end.
In ‘Laurence Anyways,’ Nathalie Baye is Laurence’s mother, and she is quite an awful mother. Still, she is the only one in the end who truly accepts her daughter.
I made that first record in 2008, alongside the EP, but my label at the time waited three years to release it. They thought maybe someone bigger would buy it, but they didn’t, so in the end they just released it themselves.
As a child, I always wanted to come to the Premier League, so when I made the move, I was very happy. Chelsea were on the up – they were doing really good – so I was very excited, and in the end, everything went well here for me.
I strongly believe that the art of the novel works best when the writer identifies with whoever he or she is writing about. Novels in the end are based on the human capacity, compassion, and I can show more compassion to my characters if I write in a first person singular.
The fact is that censorship always defeats its own purpose, for it creates, in the end, the kind of society that is incapable of exercising real discretion.
You look at Michael McDonald and people like that; I think they just tried to write music that was true to themselves. That’s our bottom line. Whatever people view us as, I think as long as we try to create good music that will win out in the end.
That is football. In the end, all clubs spend money.
In science, you can say things that seem crazy, but in the long run, they can turn out to be right. We can get really good evidence, and in the end, the community will come around.
My gymnasts are always the best-prepared in the world. And they win. In the end, that’s what matters.
Everyone has opportunities and different doors that are opened to them in different ways. In the end, if you’re talented you’ll get work, if you’re not, you won’t, so it doesn’t really matter who you know.
Everybody’s got something. In the end, what choice does one really have but to understand that truth, to really take it in, and then shop for groceries, get a haircut, do one’s work; get on with the business of one’s life. That’s the hope, anyway.
The dreadlocks were easy to maintain: I got up in the morning and flicked my head. If they got too big, I’d pull them apart every now and again. In the end, I got too old for them.
I’m very lucky that people are able to say, ‘Oh, that’s that Moody Blues guy!’ I’m very fortunate with that. That’s all. Without the songs, I think, I’d just be a pretty average karaoke singer. In the end, it comes down to the songs: the strength of the songs.
I think I will be able to, in the end, rise above the clouds and climb the stairs to Heaven, and I will look down on my beautiful life.
Growth doesn’t hurt. This is what I’ve learned. In the end, it doesn’t hurt. It hurts while it’s happening. But in the end, you know, for life, for parenting, and for the arts, it’s not a bad – not a bad thing to try for.
If you think about movies that are adapted from books, they never feel like enough. There’s always too much cut out in the end. You either make a five hour movie or you leave out stuff that should be in there.
In the end, if you can’t trust each other, what’s the point of being married?
All the truly great stand-ups say, ‘I go onstage, and I work on jokes. The inspiration will happen while I’m doing my work.’ To me, in the end, the surest thing is work.
I loved ‘Welcome to the Dollhouse.’ That was one of the most influential movies ever. You know that genre with the nerdy girl, and she redeems herself in the end. Like ‘Napoleon Dynamite.’ And in ‘Welcome to the Dollhouse,’ she doesn’t. She sucks. It’s like, that’s what’s real. That’s what’s heartbreaking.
Look, we want freedom and we want liberty in this country. But we’ve also got to have the guts to stand up and run a tight ship in America. Morality is now a word that many people consider very square and outdated. But if we don’t stand up for it, we deserve what we will get in the end – unprincipled anarchy.
It is very difficult for us to know we love somebody because it is an insecure position to be in. But in the end, it is important to be honest about your love because life is not that long.
Look at a football field. It looks like a big movie screen. This is theatre. Football combines the strategy of chess. It’s part ballet. It’s part battleground, part playground. We clarify, amplify and glorify the game with our footage, the narration and that music, and in the end create an inspirational piece of footage.
Hard work always wins in the end.
Religion works. I know there’s comfort there, a crash pad. It’s something to explain the world and tell you there is something bigger than you, and it is going to be alright in the end. It works because it’s comforting.
In the end, nature is inexorable: it has no reason to hurry and, sooner or later, it takes what belongs to it. Unconsciously and inflexibly obedient to its own laws, it doesn’t know art, just as it doesn’t know freedom, just as it doesn’t know goodness.
In the end, I want to be able to say, ‘My life was what I made it.’
The curse of the romantic is a greed for dreams, an intensity of expectation that, in the end, diminishes the reality.
I don’t like the idea of having a public image. In the end, you have an image of someone, which becomes true whether it is or not.
And in the end, bin Laden died in a squalid suburban compound surrounded by his wives and children and far from the front lines of his holy war.
Usually, one of us will bring a song to the group that they think we could arrange and perform well. If the group agrees, we arrange it. It doesn’t always work out though. We’ve tried to arrange a few songs that just we ended up canning in the end.
The Christian religion, though scattered and abroad will in the end gather itself together at the foot of the cross.
What is the basic principle of democracy? In the end, it is loyalty to the nation. We Central Europeans know from historical experience that sooner or later, we will lose our freedom if we do not represent the interests of our citizens.
I would never disrespect any man, woman, chick or child out there. We’re all the same. What goes around comes around, and karma kicks us all in the butt in the end of the day.
In the end, I was doing night shoots on ‘Gilmore Girls’ and then wrapping and going straight from ‘Gilmore Girls’ to ‘Roadies.’
Sonic Youth has a very democratic process for the most part. It almost doesn’t matter who brings in an initial idea; everything gets worked over by the band and kind of co-written by everyone in the end because everyone’s ideas get contributed to it.
Getting the Games for London has been the fulfilment of a dream. It is one which I truly believe can change the lives of hundreds of thousands of young people for the better. But in the end, nothing can quite compare with winning your first Olympic gold medal.
The only formula we have when we work together is that we both have to have a product we can endorse when we finish. Something we both like. It’s a matter of compromise. In the end what you get is what both of us can agree on. In that comes Tears for Fears. I don’t know what the mix or magic is, that’s just what it is.
I think in the end, when you’re famous, people like to narrow you down to a few personality traits. I think I’ve just become this ambitious, say-whatever’s-on-her-mind, intimidating person. And that’s part of my personality, but it’s certainly not anywhere near the whole thing.
A good home must be made, not bought. In the end, it’s not track lighting or a sun room that brings light into a kitchen.
You have to know what you’re worth and you have to stick with that because you’re only going to hurt yourself in the end if you bring your price point way down, as well as impact others in the market.
Cristiano is not obsessed with scoring goals. Goals always come in the end when he works hard and the team works hard, too.
You can coddle your child and tell them, ‘You’re the best no matter what.’ But in the end, when they go out into the real world, I think it’s pretty tough out there and other children are cruel.
The miners lost because they had only the constitution. The other side had bayonets. In the end, bayonets always win.
Really, it is all so worth it when you have your precious baby in the end.
Unless you’re involved with thinking about what you’re doing, you end up doing the same thing over and over, and that becomes tedious and, in the end, defeating.
I have no sympathy for debunking human achievements that, in the end, gave ordinary people liberty.
In the end, Kane will be remembered as a character I played on TV. In that respect, I want people to remember me for more than that.
In the end, I am confident that we can revise our rules to provide necessary and appropriate flexibility for local broadcasters while preserving and/or improving the experience of those watching children’s programming.
You’ll work hard to create characters that are compelling and unforgettable. But in the end, it’s the story that matters.
Learning how to be a good parent was easy in the end because I’d basically had the What Not To Do manual.
Some people like you, some people don’t. In the end you just have to be yourself.
In the end, you don’t want music to be noticed as much as digested and integrated into the storytelling. And make audiences sit forward in their seats and enjoy the movie.
