The Rat Pack was the piece that really kicked me out of that little funk that I was in and then Ted called me up and asked me if I wanted to be the dad in Blow.
I really love travelling to places where I get to learn something new about a new group of people or a new place. Learn some history, contemplate some business ideas, and sort of get off the beaten track a little bit.
I don’t really have studios. I wander around around people’s attics, out in fields, in cellars, anyplace I find that invites me.
I did a lot of things that I regretted and I certainly paid for my mistakes. You have to go and ask for forgiveness and it wasn’t until I really started doing good and doing right, by other people as well as myself, that I really started to feel that guilt go away. So I don’t have a problem going to sleep at night.
I had a really hard time in Orange County. I was a nerd. I was watching foreign cinema when I was 13 and talking about how ‘Hope and Glory’ should be a foreign film.
High expectations are really intimidating.
Only the gentle are ever really strong.
Every day or two, I strolled to the village to hear some of the gossip which is incessantly going on there, circulating either from mouth to mouth, or from newspaper to newspaper, and which, taken in homeopathic doses, was really as refreshing in its way as the rustle of leaves and the peeping of frogs.
People intoxicate themselves with work so they won’t see how they really are.
I’m firmly convinced that true beauty only springs from the acceptance of oneself, from an awareness of who we really are.
The more social media we have, the more we think we’re connecting, yet we are really disconnecting from each other.
You really don’t find too many good people. You really don’t. Keep them around.
It’s not necessary to go far and wide. I mean, you can really find exciting and inspiring things within your hometown.
Love always involves responsibility, and love always involves sacrifice. And we do not really love Christ unless we are prepared to face His task and to take up His Cross.
I’m obsessed with the power of music and image together. There’s also something about music videos that are incredibly glamorous – there’s a fetishistic aesthetic to them that you don’t really see in movies in the same way.
Really, every day is the perfect day to boss up. Every day that you wake up is a perfect day to boss up. It’s all about continuing to put one foot in front of the next. That’s what it’s about. Whatever you think you’re going through, just put one foot in front of the next.
My only fault is that I don’t realize how great I really am.
In family relationships, ‘love’ is really spelled ‘t-i-m-e,’ time. Taking time for each other is the key for harmony at home.
My favorite room in the house is the living room. We have two big couches, six recliners and over 20 pillows. It’s a really comfortable place to hang out with my family.
I feel like if you’re a really good human being, you can try to find something beautiful in every single person, no matter what.
If you really want something you can figure out how to make it happen.
My life isn’t focused on results. My life is really focused on the process of doing all the things I’m doing, from work to relationships to friendships to charitable work.
I never looked at my parents’ marriage or really anyone who had been married more than 30 years and thought, ‘I gotta get me some of that!’
It has been great journey from where I have started to where I am today. I am really blessed with God’s grace.
Instead of a national curriculum for education, what is really needed is an individual curriculum for every child.
The priesthood is not really so much a gift as it is a commission to serve, a privilege to lift, and an opportunity to bless the lives of others.
It’s really not about what you have. It’s about how you’re able to enjoy life in general.
Life is full of tough decisions, and nothing makes them easy. But the worst ones are really your personal koans, and tormenting ambivalence is just the sense of satori rising. Try, trust, try, and trust again, and eventually you’ll feel your mind change its focus to a new level of understanding.
I believe the only thing that we really have control over is our attitude. If we focus on the positive things in our lives and learn how to cope with all the surprises, we will be happier people.
If you’re raised with a poverty mentality, nothing is going to change it. I do know some really stingy billionaires. I come from such a generation of hand-to-mouthers.
All I can tell you really is if you get to the point where someone is telling you that you are not great or not good enough, just follow your heart and don’t let anybody crush your dream.
Design is a funny word. Some people think design means how it looks. But of course, if you dig deeper, it’s really how it works.
I’m a blessing to whoever gets to really know me.
Curly hair is not just a hairstyle: it’s kind of a lifestyle. There is something really free and careless about it and loose and kind of naughty. I love it.
Despite everything, I believe that people are really good at heart.
I can’t really define it in sexual terms alone although our sexuality is so energizing why not enjoy it too?
If you want to do really important things in life and big things in life, you can’t do anything by yourself. And your best teams are your friends and your siblings.
I’m an optimist in the sense that I believe humans are noble and honorable, and some of them are really smart. I have a very optimistic view of individuals.
In football, the result is an impostor. You can do things really, really well but not win. There’s something greater than the result, more lasting – a legacy.
Honesty and integrity are absolutely essential for success in life – all areas of life. The really good news is that anyone can develop both honesty and integrity.
Natural beauty really entices men. They will tell you this time and time again, and studies consistently prove it.
My favorite things in life don’t cost any money. It’s really clear that the most precious resource we all have is time.
I never thought of Green Day as a punk band. Just bubblegum, really.
Kindness is really important to me in finding my own prince – so are patience and a sense of humor. Without those qualities he’s no Prince Charming!
My number one thing? Don’t overleverage yourself. Don’t say you can do something when you really can’t.
It is a fine game to play – the game of politics – and it is well worth waiting for a good hand before really plunging.
The evening is really hard for me. I have to force myself not to eat.
I have no regrets. I don’t believe in looking back. What I am proudest of? Working really hard… and achieving as much as I could.
Melody is king, and don’t you ever forget it. Lyrics appear to be out front, but they’re not; they’re just an accompanying factor. If they’re good, you’re really in good shape. Lyrics are written to be rewritten.
Love is really the only thing we can possess, keep with us, and take with us.
To keep everyone invested in your vision, you have to back up a little bit and really analyze who the different stakeholders are and what they individually respond to.
Unconditional love really exists in each of us. It is part of our deep inner being. It is not so much an active emotion as a state of being. It’s not ‘I love you’ for this or that reason, not ‘I love you if you love me.’ It’s love for no reason, love without an object.
Once you really know yourself, can’t nobody tell you nothing about you.
I just want to say, don’t be afraid, believe in yourself, whatever comes your way you have to experience it to really know what that is. So if you have too much fear inside you may let go of certain opportunities or chances, so trust in yourself and stick with it.
Basically, when you get to my age, you’ll really measure your success in life by how many of the people you want to have love you actually do love you.
The long, forensic interview really matters.
Most of us aren’t defeated in one decisive battle. We are defeated one tiny, seemingly insignificant surrender at a time that chips away at who we should really be.
We don’t really have any big family traditions; just spending time with each other is the most important part.
The trickster’s function is to break taboos, create mischief, stir things up. In the end, the trickster gives people what they really want, some sort of freedom.
Fame is really strange. One day you’re not famous, and then the next day you are, and the odd thing is that you know intellectually that nothing in the world is different. What mattered to you yesterday are the same things that matter today, and the rules all still apply – yet everyone looks at you differently.
Whatever your heart clings to and confides in, that is really your God.
When you take a flower in your hand and really look at it, it’s your world for the moment. I want to give that world to someone else. Most people in the city rush around so, they have no time to look at a flower. I want them to see it whether they want to or not.
All girls like guys who are tough. Obviously, riding a motorcycle – I don’t want to say that there’s a bad boy quality – but there’s definitely a tough and macho thing about a guy who rides a motorcycles and that element of danger. That’s really sexy.
