Drama is hard for me. Crying is much harder for me than laughter.
I pray to God every day that he makes me the biggest superstar, but before that, I ask God to make me a good actor. Being a star is hard, but being an actor is even harder. I want to be both before I am done.
Work harder than anybody you’ve ever seen. That’s what I believe.
It took me a few years to realize that throwing harder wasn’t always better.
I don’t happen to think magazines should be full of thin people. What I do say is that we can all work a little harder with what we have. It is possible to achieve a better body shape and heart rate with nutrition and exercise.
Conservative humor is frankly harder than liberal humor. You get points for just being liberal. You can get more points if you make fun of your own side sometimes.
If anything, it just motivates me to work a little harder. Anytime your organization invests a big amount of money like that into you, you want to do everything and more to thank them.
Any voice where you’ve got to scream over a battle or whatever, that’s always difficult. It’s harder than it seems.
Work harder than everybody. Read scripts, watch movies. Help other writers, it makes you better. And probably move to L.A.
Every minister knows it’s harder to get the guys to church than the women. We ought to be asking why this is.
I would put my pictures up against anybody’s in this world. Certainly in my own day I bow to no one. I don’t think there’s another director in the world who works harder to make better films than I do.
Fifteen years before I became a screen actor, I was in the theatre. A lot of my work was comedy, which I loved doing. It’s harder.
It’s becoming increasingly harder and harder; there’s no such thing as independent film anymore. There aren’t any, they don’t exist. In the old days you could go and get a certain amount of the budget with foreign sales, now everybody wants a marketable angle.
I do think a lot of people are trying to do important things still, and I think it is really a great thing that entrepreneurship is getting easier. When I started, it was just much harder to begin a company.
As you get older, it’s harder to maintain your weight and to fly through the air for those routines. It’s also the lifestyle; you train seven to eight hours a day, five to six days a week.
You always feel when you look it straight in the eye that you could have put more into it, could have let yourself go and dug harder.
Having a track record to live up to and the history of successes had become a hindrance. It becomes harder to break out of what people expect you to do.
If we’d know we were going to be the Beatles, we’d have tried harder.
Surely these women won’t lose any more of their beauty and charm by putting a ballot in a ballot box once a year than they are likely to lose standing in foundries or laundries all year round. There is no harder contest than the contest for bread, let me tell you that.
The harder you work, the less mistakes you make. The fewer mistakes you make, the better your chances of winning.
In Beverly Hills, the faster you climb, the harder you fall.
When someone drew a picture of Pope John wearing an Avis ‘We try harder’ button, those words no longer meant which car rental to patronize, and yet some of the overtones from its original meaning are there and make a contribution to the new situation.
I have no regrets, except perhaps one: I should have tried harder to be a better actor.
So writing a song is much harder than doing a classical piece for me, because in a classical piece, I can just let the mood dictate what’s going to happen.
It’s important not to make Spider-Man masculine because he’s a kid. As soon as you make him masculine, it’s harder to relate to him if you are younger and are in high school. I definitely was not masculine in high school.
When you have a passion for something then you tend not only to be better at it, but you work harder at it too.
Comedy is such a personal thing. Everybody can cry at the same thing, but it’s a lot harder to get everyone to laugh at the same thing.
I wonder if it is harder for a woman who was beautiful to get older or a woman who was never looked at.
Certainly, I, as an audience, am stricken with terror if I see only two people onstage. And one person, I think, is even harder for people to take.
I know that Bush, for political reasons, is going to nominate a minority, a Hispanic man or someone where it will be harder for people on the progressive side to oppose and split some of the traditionally progressive or democratic constituents.
You’ve just got to have a sense of respect for the person you have children with. Anger doesn’t help anybody. Ultimately you have to say forgiveness is important, and honoring what you had together is important. But it’s easy to say and harder to do.
People want to be part of something that’s bigger than themselves. It’s motivating. It helps all of us to work harder.
The statues of Lenin and Stalin are down, but the fight against their ghosts seems harder.
I love everything about Philadelphia, and its food is like the city itself: real-deal, hearty, and without pretension. We’ve always had an underdog vibe as a city, but that just makes us try harder, and I love our scrappiness and scruffiness.
Life is hard, but we make it much harder.
The harder you work… and visualize something, the luckier you get.
Hopefully with each thing that you do you’re learning something, you’re growing, and you’re pushing yourself a little harder in some way or another. So I think you’d be in real trouble if each new thing that you create didn’t feel like ‘Oh, wow. I feel like I’m doing something a little different this time.’
With work increasingly invisible, it’s much harder to grasp the human effects, the social contours, of the Internet economy.
Life does throw some hard stuff at you as you get older, much harder. But you are more able to deal with things.
Although I have to say, it’s become a lot harder for me since I won the world series because everyone wants to beat me. For example, bluffing is really tough now, because there’s always someone who calls me on the off-chance that they’ll then be able to say they read a world champion’s bluff.
One of my contemporaries, a colorless chap who worked much harder at his law studies, is now Prime Minister.
There have been actresses who transitioned and nobody knew. But for me, with everybody knowing my history, it will be harder. I’m sure there are some great scripts calling for an ultra-glamorous woman. And I’m prepared to be ultra-glamorous.
Listening is harder than just acting. Listening is the hardest part.
You know, when you’ve been dumped, the one thing you love to do is just forget about this human being, and then go on with your life – but no, you just love them harder.
Sometimes the better the writing, the harder it is to play because you really want to service it.
As you get older it is harder to have heroes, but it is sort of necessary.
You just keep pushing yourself harder and harder to achieve more and more – I don’t think it’s ever quite as glamorous as it appears on the outside.
The more unique your film is and unusual it is and difficult it is, the harder it is to get it financed. That’s why a lot of good filmmakers are doing television. They do HBO movies.
I was very awkward as a kid. I was a square trying to fit into a circle and it never worked for me. The harder I tried, the harder I fell. For some reason I was a real target and I got beat up and called names.
The harder you work, the luckier you get.
I think we’re still in a muddle with our language, because once you get words and a spoken language it gets harder to communicate.
From a motivation perspective, helping others enriches the meaning and purpose of our own lives, showing us that our contributions matter and energizing us to work harder, longer, and smarter.
We believed that there’s no such thing as good art or bad art. Art is art. If it’s bad, it’s something else. It was a much, much harder line in the ’50s and ’60s than it is now, because the idea of art education didn’t exist – they didn’t have a fine arts program when I was a kid.
The further we distance ourselves from the spell of the present, explored by our senses, the harder it will be to understand and protect nature’s precarious balance, let alone the balance of our own human nature.
Hard work pays off. The harder you work, the more people will notice.
I have such a respect for comedy. It’s a lot harder than doing drama, in my opinion; you have to have sort of an innate sense of humor. There are rules to comedy you can learn. But ultimately, it really does require a certain point of view on the world, and that really does appeal to me.
It is easy not to support the death penalty when there is doubt about the culpability of the person sitting in the chair; it is harder to sustain such principles when the crime of the accused is morally indefensible.
I probably work harder, putting in a lot of time and effort, than a lot of drivers because all I think about, and all I do, is to do with racing, trying to make myself a better driver.
I just feel like it gets harder and harder every year with Ace getting older and time away from my husband and even family events such as birthdays and friends’ weddings and things that I’ve always just missed out on because of softball.
