You can’t be successful in business without taking risks. It’s really that simple.

Life is a matter of really tough choices.
While drawing, I discover what I really want to say.
People overcoming the odds is actually a really important part of humanity, and I don’t think we kind of get to celebrate that as much as we should.
No country can really develop unless its citizens are educated.
My belt holds my pants up, but the belt loops hold my belt up. I don’t really know what’s happening down there. Who is the real hero?
Social media is an amazing tool, but it’s really the face-to-face interaction that makes a long-term impact.
You hear about quality time a lot but I really think that quantity time with a person is really what strengthens a relationship. That’s when you really get to know somebody. You get to know their strengths and their weaknesses and that brings you closer. That’s what ‘Time Is Love’ is all about.
I’ve met some incredible people who I really admire.
Living is like tearing through a museum. Not until later do you really start absorbing what you saw, thinking about it, looking it up in a book, and remembering – because you can’t take it in all at once.
Misfortune shows those who are not really friends.
What I really am is a homebody. I was a homebody even before I had a family. My days are filled with home stuff.

It sounds like a cliche but I also learnt that you’re not going to fall for the right person until you really love yourself and feel good about how you are.
Discipline is doing what you really don’t want to do so you can do what you really want to do.
Why do two colors, put one next to the other, sing? Can one really explain this? no. Just as one can never learn how to paint.
The past is never the past. It is always present. And you better reckon with it in your life and in your daily experience, or it will get you. It will get you really bad.
To be really great in little things, to be truly noble and heroic in the insipid details of everyday life, is a virtue so rare as to be worthy of canonization.
There are times pop music is the end result when I’m in the studio, but I don’t really go in and say, ‘Today I am going to make a pop song,’ but it can happen.
He who passively accepts evil is as much involved in it as he who helps to perpetrate it. He who accepts evil without protesting against it is really cooperating with it.
If you go to a restaurant and you go with people you like, your food will always taste really good.
Food is a lot of people’s therapy – when we say comfort food, we really mean that. It’s releasing dopamine and serotonin in your brain that makes you feel good.
Honestly, I never really put the mic down.
I’ve prioritized taking care of my mind, having fun, and doing things that make me laugh. And eating well – as in, really good food, like steak or pasta or fresh vegetables or an amazing dessert. You know, ‘treat yo’self.’
A lot of fashion is really inspired by vintage and it’s the forefront of fashion.
Financial support is one thing, but I always think what becomes really sacrificial is your time.
I really admire Airbnb as a pioneer of the sharing economy and for building community. They’ve found an elegant way to help hosts make more money and for guests to have authentic experiences. It brings those people together in a unique way.
I’m Italian; I take my time. We’re not really fast. We’re very slow. I had my first child at 40, my second child at 45, James Bond at 50. I’m so curious as to what’s next!
The rainbow is a part of nature, and you have to be in the right place to see it. It’s beautiful, all of the colors, even the colors you can’t see. That really fit us as a people because we are all of the colors. Our sexuality is all of the colors. We are all the genders, races, and ages.
Country music is the people’s music. It just speaks about real life and about truth and it tells things how they really are.
Thailand is a really beautiful place, culturally and spiritually. You appreciate it the longer you stay.
One of the lessons that I grew up with was to always stay true to yourself and never let what somebody else says distract you from your goals. And so when I hear about negative and false attacks, I really don’t invest any energy in them, because I know who I am.
It was my 16th birthday – my mom and dad gave me my Goya classical guitar that day. I sat down, wrote this song, and I just knew that that was the only thing I could ever really do – write songs and sing them to people.
Everything seems really simple on paper until you take a camera out of the box.
I’m just going to say I’m not gay. I really, really like women. That’s all I can really say about that.
Life is hard, but there are moments, sometimes hours – and, if you’re really lucky, full days – where everything feels just right.
If you are not living this moment, you are not really living.
Family holidays and weekends are really brightly colored memories, full of my mother and father, rather than our nannies and au pairs.
You know, all that really matters is that the people you love are happy and healthy. Everything else is just sprinkles on the sundae.
Life is a series of punches. It presents a lot of challenges. It presents a lot of hardship, but the people that are able to take those punches and able to move forward are the ones that really do have a lot of success and have a lot of joy in their life and have a lot of stories to tell, too.
To this day, nothing makes me happier than finding a TV show I really love.
If you compromise what you’re trying to do just a little bit, you’ll end up compromising a little more the next day or the next week, and when you lift your head you’re suddenly really far away from where you’re trying to go.
That inner voice has both gentleness and clarity. So to get to authenticity, you really keep going down to the bone, to the honesty, and the inevitability of something.
I’m very happy with my life. I am what I am. I don’t worry about anything that I can’t control. That’s a really good lesson in life.
I love sneakers on a girl. I don’t know why, but I guess it’s because I’m still a young. I really like just like a girl who has style – a girl who does her own thing, is unique in what she’s wearing and works what she’s got.
I savor life. When you have anything that threatens life… it prods you into stepping back and really appreciating the value of life and taking from it what you can.
Technology is a bit of a double-edged sword. Used right, it’s a wonderful tool, but unfortunately, it makes it easier for a lot of mediocre people to get really crappy ideas out.
Understand that everybody has their own struggles, regardless of whether you can see it or not. Just surround yourself with the people who love you, and know you’re not really alone.
There is nothing better than getting shot at and missed. It’s really great.
Coming to Australia, it was just really magical for me. It just had the wow factor of a different sort of place and, more so, just being with a family that wanted to love me and to have me, because I knew back then, before coming to Australia, there was no way of getting back home or finding my real family.
Nothing can be more abhorrent to democracy than to imprison a person or keep him in prison because he is unpopular. This is really the test of civilization.
It sounds really corny but I think that if you’re beautiful inside it shows on the outside, for sure.
In all our contacts it is probably the sense of being really needed and wanted which gives us the greatest satisfaction and creates the most lasting bond.
I suffer from low self-esteem. I had horrible self-esteem growing up. You really have to save yourself because the critic within you will eat you up. It’s not the outside world – it’s your interior life, that critic within you, that you have to silence.
If people concentrated on the really important things in life, there’d be a shortage of fishing poles.
Nobody climbs mountains for scientific reasons. Science is used to raise money for the expeditions, but you really climb for the hell of it.
Really, running an underdog, insurgent political campaign against an opponent many folks think can’t be beat, and going out and meeting folks and talking about your ideas for America and Washington, is a lot of fun and a real privilege.
The Internet is so crazy, and you’re exposed to so many things. In an hour, you can really jump around.
You may say, ‘Well, dragons don’t exist.’ It’s, like, yes they do – the category ‘predator’ and the category ‘dragon’ are the same category. It absolutely exists. It’s a superordinate category. It exists absolutely more than anything else. In fact, it really exists.
Having children really changes your priorities.
I went to a Catholic school but did not really fit in.
If you don’t make mistakes, you aren’t really trying.
I’m not a big fan of religion for that reason. But I am a true believer in God, and I have great faith, and I think that a spiritual connection with something is a really important part of our experience. That doesn’t necessarily have anything to do with the church.
