When I did ‘The Great Escape,’ I kept thinking, ‘If they were making a movie of my life, that’s what they’d call it – the great escape.’
I spent most of my life locked in my bedroom, miserable about my raging acne.
I haven’t understood a bar of music in my life, but I have felt it.
I choose not to think of my life as surviving, but coping.
My music must reflect whatever’s going on in my mind, and my life needs to evolve for me to discover who it is I’m becoming.
I have three phobias which, could I mute them, would make my life as slick as a sonnet, but as dull as ditch water: I hate to go to bed, I hate to get up, and I hate to be alone.
One of the most important days of my life was when I learned to ride a bicycle.
My life is like driving down a road. I occasionally glance in the rearview mirror, but I’m not focused on the past or looking back anymore.
I’ve been a cook all my life, but I am still learning to be a good chef. I’m always learning new techniques and improving beyond my own knowledge because there is always something new to learn and new horizons to discover.
I was set free because my greatest fear had been realized, and I still had a daughter who I adored, and I had an old typewriter and a big idea. And so rock bottom became a solid foundation on which I rebuilt my life.
At various stages in my life, I could have stopped, or took the long rest. For some reason, my heart told me otherwise. I just kept going. Half of the time, I wasn’t sure where I was heading. The other half, I was probably taking the wrong turns. No matter.
You know, when I was a kid waiting on the bus, I remember that was when I imagined my life. I imagined everything that I was gonna be when I grew up and I imagined all of these amazing journeys and amazing people I’d meet. Of course, all of it has kind of come to fruition.
I would rather drudge out my life on a cotton plantation, till the grave opened to give me rest, than to live with an unprincipled master and a jealous mistress.
I enjoyed my life when I had nothing… and kinda like the idea of just being happy with me.
My life is PG-13 sometimes, and I really want Josh Grogan to propose to me, and he just won’t do it.
My life has been a blessing. I’m grateful for everything I do have and the places I’m going and the things I’ve seen.
I’ve never been with a losing team in my life, and I don’t think I’ll start now.
Whoever wants to be caught up in my life, first of all, you should be living yours because I’m damn sure not worried about your life.
The very contradictions in my life are in some ways signs of God’s mercy to me.
I live my life through fear. If I’m afraid of it I’ll do it just so I’m not afraid of it anymore.
All I want is to live a peaceful life, to regain my life and be happy.
I have a phone obsession. It’s really hard on set sometimes because I’ll be checking Instagram, and then I have to remember, ‘Oh, crap, I have to shoot a scene or rehearse.’ Every now and then, I have to turn it off and live my life.
My life path number is 7. One of the qualities is leadership. If I’m not being a leader, I’m not doing what I’m supposed to be doing.
Some people have been kind enough to call me a fine artist. I’ve always called myself an illustrator. I’m not sure what the difference is. All I know is that whatever type of work I do, I try to give it my very best. Art has been my life.
Making films has never just been a job to me; it is my life. I have some interests outside of acting – I sing and I’ve written books, for instance – but acting is what keeps me going: it’s what I do; it gives life purpose.
My mother has been the greatest influence on my life, morally. When I get right down to it, my mother and father are two people I can count on no matter what.
I have no regrets. I wouldn’t have lived my life the way I did if I was going to worry about what people were going to say.
People spend a lifetime thinking about how they would really like to live. I asked my friends and no one seems to know very clearly. To me it’s very clear now. I wish my life could have been like the years when I was writing ‘Love in the Time of Cholera.’
I have a motto of my life, ‘If you behave young, your face becomes young, too.
Smoking calms me down. It’s enjoyable. I don’t want politicians deciding what is exciting in my life.
I made the record that my life had me make. Each one is like a diary.
I posed nude to show my parents they couldn’t dictate to me any more – that I control my life.
I had one of the best days of my life. I spent the afternoon with my two kids and my ex-wife at Serendipity. Then I came to the theater, and you know, I think I did the play the best I’ve ever done it.
You can look at my palm and see the storm coming. Read the book of my life and see I’ve overcome it.
I am deeply interested in the progress and elevation of journalism, having spent my life in that profession, regarding it as a noble profession and one of unequaled importance for its influence upon the minds and morals of the people.
I made a conscious decision to live my life the best way I could and that meant to publicise myself as little as possible.
It really does frustrate me when I watch MLS, and I see our best U-17 players – who, again, are so talented and so capable – being rostered… but then not being put on the field much to actually play. I watch that, and I just think about how I was given a chance… a real chance… and it changed my life.
I see what happens when one gets very attached to material things. That’s just not what my life is.
I will live my life full of love and full of fun. It’s the only way I know how.
At least in my life, I cannot hold onto grudges. It’s a waste of energy, a waste of time.
Would I lay down my life to save my brother? No, but I would to save two brothers or eight cousins.
Life for rent means that my life isn’t really my own, I only rented it for a while, but if I don’t manage to buy it, to own it, then nothing of what I think is mine is really mine.
I want to live my life so that my nights are not full of regrets.
My best background is, like, smash opponents. I all the time go forward. I all the time try to take down somebody. Make him give up. This is my style, you know. This is what I do all my life.
My workout was running down fly balls, stealing a base, or running for my life on the football field.
I write from my life, my experience. I’m selfish that way.
I live my life day by day, and that’s how I continue to live it.
I’m going to be true to what I want to do, because if I care what people think about me, I’m a puppet. Which I have been in my life. And you can’t live life that way, man!
I lead no party; I follow no leader. I have given the best part of my life to careful study of Islam, its law and polity, its culture, its history and its literature.
I want to wake up every day and do whatever comes in my mind, and not feel pressure or obligations to do anything else in my life.
Being able to live my life transparently does empower me to feel like I can be myself more. It’s easier for me to flirt with girls now that girls know that I’m gay. It almost makes it a sexier encounter than if I was trying to pretend that I was straight.
I have never smuggled anything in my life. Why, then, do I feel an uneasy sense of guilt on approaching a customs barrier?
For the past 33 years, I have looked in the mirror every morning and asked myself: ‘If today were the last day of my life, would I want to do what I am about to do today?’ And whenever the answer has been ‘No’ for too many days in a row, I know I need to change something.
I’ve committed to surfing the rest of my life.
I’m at the age where food has taken the place of sex in my life. In fact, I’ve just had a mirror put over my kitchen table.
Timing has always been a key element in my life. I have been blessed to have been in the right place at the right time.
When Shanthi Ranganathan was the featured turn on ‘Hip Hop Saved My Life With Romesh Ranganathan,’ we learned she didn’t allow him to have a girlfriend until he’d finished university, and she learned – to her unfeigned horror – that he used to sneak girls into the house when she was out.
The people I love, I’m committed to loving for the rest of my life.
If I had to live my life over, I’d live over a saloon.
I’m enjoying my years, I’m enjoying my life, I’m enjoying my family. I’m just happy – a happy person.
I wish you could see some of the girls I have genuinely had crushes on in my life. They’re not the girls you would assume.
My life is full of mistakes. They’re like pebbles that make a good road.
One of the most wonderful memories in my life was when I sang at the Opera House in Sydney. I will never forget that. It is one of the most beautiful Houses I have ever sung in my life.
I’m living my life, not buying a lifestyle.
I’m not a one-man show. I was never that in my life, and I never want to be that.
As soon as it was understood that we could handle things in our own way, it was the thrill of my life to walk out on that stage with people just hemming the band in.
Small change, small wonders – these are the currency of my endurance and ultimately of my life.
