I’d like my grandchildren to be able to see that their grandmother stood up for something, a long time ago.
My own way of thinking is to ponder long and I hope deeply on problems and for a long time which I keep away for years and years and I never really let them go.
I realized a very long time ago, that I was never going to be the guy who, ‘Oh, you look so big, let’s push him in the main event and see,’ or, ‘Oh, this guy’s got the best physique ever, let’s put him in the main event and see.’ It was always going to be the hard way.
Nothing happens in a vacuum in life: every action has a series of consequences, and sometimes it takes a long time to fully understand the consequences of our actions.
I felt for a long time that this is what I want to do so I’m happy at this point to just take my time and work on projects that I feel strongly about, and the rest of the time just live my life.
I’m really happy here at City. It’s a second home to me, so it was an easy decision to stay for the long term. I knew from the beginning when I started here that I wanted to stay for a long time – I can’t see any place better than here.
The true nature of all wealth is temporary; those who have wealth must here and now do good deeds that will live for a long time.
I was shot when I think it was number one. That was the catalyst for the interest in the show. Certainly it went on for a long time after that but that’s what really kicked it off. Of course a lot of people watched it just because of the novelty of the situation.
I’ve been gone for a long time. I really want to give the fans something that they deserve to have. So, I’m working really hard on this. I really want to make it the best work I’ve done so far.
When George asked me to be the prequels, it was the same kind of meeting – it was very short and to the point. It was nice to see him after a long time, and we met in a hotel room.
I’ve lived with myself for a very long time, so I’m aware of what I look like. I’m under no false pretense that I’m a stunner, so if somebody comes up and says something about my physical appearance, it’s okay.
The future for us is the foreseeable future. The South Asian, however, feels that it is perfectly realistic to think of a ‘long time’ in terms of thousands of years.
I believed in the Catholic position, the Catholic view of ethics and aesthetics, for a long time. But I wanted something not intellectual, some conviction not mental – in fact I wanted faith.
So I did that for a long time in my career, and I waited for parts to play myself just physically down a little bit. But I do feel like I’m at a place in my career now where I don’t necessarily fret about that too much anymore.
For a long time, I’d been vaguely fascinated by the idea that Charles Lindbergh flew the Atlantic and Babe Ruth hit 60 home runs in the same summer.
Things take a long time, but when it’s right things move fast.
It’s taken me a long time to become the person I am, for all the ugliness to fall away. The rotten flesh is gone, and the seed is there. I can touch that now.
You know, now it’s sinking in. It’s taken me a long time to realize – and it is sinking in – how important this book is. And I have a certain distance now. I’ve done it such a long time ago.
My parents and I didn’t speak for 10 years. It took a long time to rebuild that relationship.
Eventually, there will come a day where I’m not making games at Bethesda. Hopefully that’s a long time away. But I want to make sure that who we are, what the worlds are, what the company is, that’s sustainable far beyond me.
You can have all the talent in the world, but it’s the ability to go out there every day and try to get better. And that’s the key to being successful and being successful for a long time.
What happens to people like myself, who have been involved with computing for a long time, is that you begin to see how many of the ‘new’ ideas are simply old ones coming back into view on the swing of the pendulum, with new and faster hardware to back it up.
For a long time, I lost faith in humanity, especially men.
If I went by all the rejection I’ve had in my career, I should have given up a long time ago.
For a long time, I was an assistant in the NFL to George Allen, and George was paranoid that other teams were cheating on him… that they were offering bounties, that they were wiring our locker room, that they were putting food poisoning into the pregame meal of the other team’s stars, stuff like that.
I don’t want to retire, because you stay retired for an awfully long time.
I’ve said, for a long time, my favorite part of my career is when I’m creating a new thing where I’m pulling from a new place.
I would never complain about ‘One Day’ taking off, but it made me painfully self-conscious for a long time.
For a long time I had a vintage stall, where I sold men’s vintage clothing, and my girlfriend was convinced it was just to do with a problem I had where I just couldn’t stop buying senseless clothes, even if they didn’t fit me.
I’ve been into music for a long time. I started playing drums when I was 8 and piano when I was 10, then bass and guitar when I was 18.
It wasn’t until I did ‘Hugo’ where I sort of started to think that this could be something that I do for a long time – not necessarily the rest of my life, but we’ll see.
A 10-pound sack of potatoes lasts a long time.
I define my life around happiness, being safe, being able to enjoy life and live this life for a long time.
Women have been called queens for a long time, but the kingdom given them isn’t worth ruling.
I’ve been a fan of Metallica and friends with those guys for a long time and that was just great – half Alice In Chains and half Metallica playing together.
‘Paul’s Boutique’ was a bust, right? That was a bummer. We didn’t pause on it for a long time – we didn’t go through therapy – but it was weird. And because it was a bust, we didn’t go on tour.
Music is something that should speak for itself, straight from the heart. It took me a long time to understand that.
I studied classical music for a long time, maybe 10 years, and I realized finally I was never going to have the hands to play that stuff.
I’d read Up in the Old Hotel, and I wanted to do something with Mitchell’s stuff for a long time.
I sing and play guitar and harmonica. I’ve been doing it for a long time.
Loneliness is a huge issue for both individuals and for society. It’s taken a long time for the issue to be treated seriously and for us to begin to understand the impact it can have.
It’s really important to be free and be open and honest about the things you want to do. Just ’cause you want to make a solo record or another record with another band, it doesn’t have to be an insult or a slight to the band you’ve been with for a long time.
Side note: When I dressed up like Harley Quinn on TV a long time ago, everyone was like, ‘Who is that?’ And now she’s got an entire merchandise line.
I spent a long time working in the movies to figure out that kind of acting and also how to write and produce for the screen.
Music I can discover a part of myself that I haven’t been able to for a long time, and acting is the opposite. I’m in love with both of them and I would never choose one over the other.
The script was just the best I’d read in a long time and I love the humor, which I wasn’t expecting, and I like the fact that my six year old daughter can see the show without being, you know, protected from it.
I wanted to write it long before I wrote Every Night, Josephine! I’d been thinking about it a long time.
The trouble with being educated is that it takes a long time; it uses up the better part of your life and when you are finished what you know is that you would have benefited more by going into banking.
I remember most all of my devoted fans, the ones who have been fans for a long time.
There is, however, a change going on in the world. There’s far more interest in drawing now than there has been in a long, long time. Schools are beginning to teach drawing again in a serious and meaningful way.
I think, in America, for a long time you had groups that wanted to be stars more than they wanted to make music.
So for a long time I closed my eyes to the possibility of America having a white voice.
Hollywood has lost touch with their audience a long time ago.
One bit of advice I can give people is to remember that anything worthwhile takes a long time.
I like America anyway. In Japan we are much more formal. If two friends are separated for a long time and they meet they bow and bow and bow. They keep bowing without exchanging a word. Here they slap each other on the back and say: Hello, old man, how goes everything.
I spent a long time in London on the stage, and you knew exactly what you were going to be doing. You not only knew the performance, but you also knew exactly where you would stand.
As a band, we always took a really long time to make records, so unfortunately, we got into that habit of, like, ‘We’ll work on it tomorrow.’
I don’t know where we got the notion that God wants us to suffer. Every living thing tends toward the good or we would have been gone a long time ago.
I’ve known John Toshack a long, long time because I grew up with his son Cameron. If he was English, there is no doubt that he would be mentioned in the same breath as someone like Terry Venables.
