First of all, the music that people call Latin or Spanish is really African. So Black people need to get the credit for that.
Canada is like a loft apartment over a really great party.
If you smile when no one else is around, you really mean it.
Information helps you to see that you’re not alone. That there’s somebody in Mississippi and somebody in Tokyo who all have wept, who’ve all longed and lost, who’ve all been happy. So the library helps you to see, not only that you are not alone, but that you’re not really any different from everyone else.
The game of basketball brings people together. It really doesn’t matter where you are coming from. It’s a game all of us love.
If we can’t begin to agree on fundamentals, such as the elimination of the most abusive forms of child labor, then we really are not ready to march forward into the future.
No men who really think deeply about women retain a high opinion of them; men either despise women or they have never thought seriously about them.
I’ve had to accept that – that everyone cannot love me. Because when there’s love, there’s hate. When there’s light, there’s dark. But it was really hard to accept as an artist that there’s a lot of people that hate me, but on the other side, there are many more people who love me. I think everyone goes through that.
Music is really something that makes people whole.
As an adolescent, I was painfully shy, withdrawn. I didn’t really have the nerve to sing my songs on stage, and nobody else was doing them. I decided to do them in disguise so that I didn’t have to actually go through the humiliation of going on stage and being myself.
It is the spectator, and not life, that art really mirrors.
I really like doing good work and working with good people – that’s the thing that drives me.
You can win more friends with your ears than with your mouth. People who feel like they’re being listened to feel accepted and appreciated. They feel like they’re being taken seriously and what they say really matters.
Anytime I’ve been photographed with a glass of champagne in my hand, it’s really Red Bull.
My father, Leo Henry Brown, really was talented – he could write. He had a gift, and he had a great, sly humor.
I play the harmonica. The only way I can play is if I get my car going really fast, and stick it out the window.
Only crime and the criminal, it is true, confront us with the perplexity of radical evil; but only the hypocrite is really rotten to the core.
I’ve always said to my men friends, If you really care for me, darling, you will give me territory. Give me land, give me land.
You can’t make someone learn something – you really can’t teach someone something – they have to want to learn it. And if they want to learn, they will.
When I was 49, I posed for Playboy – I was very flattered to be asked. I was quite honoured, really, considering that most of the models they feature are in their twenties.
I like to show my ability on the field. I’m not one to show off with words. I’m really looking forward to the chance. I’m a calm goalkeeper, and above all, I’ve got a real desire to win. When I get on the pitch, I give everything for the team, everything for the shirt.
This confidence is not something that happens overnight. I have been working on it for a long time. I look in the mirror and do affirmations: ‘You are bold. You are brilliant. You are beautiful.’ If my lower pooch is really popping out that day, I look at it and say, ‘Pooch, you are cute!’
People are always good company when they are doing what they really enjoy.
I really don’t want to say goodbye to any of you people.
I started being really proud of the fact that I was gay even though I wasn’t.

To be a feminist, you could cut your hair really short. You have to be really angry about something.
America is a country founded on guns. It’s in our DNA. It’s very strange but I feel better having a gun. I really do. I don’t feel safe, I don’t feel the house is completely safe, if I don’t have one hidden somewhere. That’s my thinking, right or wrong.
I don’t care too much what happened in the past. I prefer to focus on what is coming next and I am really looking forward to it.
I like to shower for a really long time; that’s a distraction-free zone for me.
You have succeeded in life when all you really want is only what you really need.
The most important kind of freedom is to be what you really are. You trade in your reality for a role. You give up your ability to feel, and in exchange, put on a mask.
Love is a really scary thing, and you never know what’s going to happen. It’s one of the most beautiful things in life, but it’s one of the most terrifying. It’s worth the fear because you have more knowledge, experience, you learn from people, and you have memories.
I’ve experienced the highest of highs and lowest of lows. I think to really appreciate anything you have to be at both ends of the spectrum.
The problem with car dealerships is you’ve already decided what you want to buy before you even go there, and you’re really just going there to talk through some annoying negotiation.
I can’t really change my life to accommodate people who are jealous. I don’t see why I should.
When a woman puts on a heel, she has a different posture, a different attitude. She really stands up and has a consciousness of her body.
When I eat with my friends, it is a moment of real pleasure, when I really enjoy my life.
If you’re climbing the ladder of life, you go rung by rung, one step at a time. Don’t look too far up, set your goals high but take one step at a time. Sometimes you don’t think you’re progressing until you step back and see how high you’ve really gone.
I just really love doing what I do. I know every career is fleeting and there will be time periods when I don’t get the opportunities that I’m getting right now, so I am taking advantage of them.
Love yourself first and everything else falls into line. You really have to love yourself to get anything done in this world.
Sometimes you have to go up really high to understand how small you really are.
One look at an email can rob you of 15 minutes of focus. One call on your cell phone, one tweet, one instant message can destroy your schedule, forcing you to move meetings, or blow off really important things, like love, and friendship.
I really wish I was less of a thinking man and more of a fool not afraid of rejection.
So long as you’ve got your friends about you, and a good positive attitude, you don’t really have to care what everyone else thinks.
What is a moderate interpretation of the text? Halfway between what it really means and what you’d like it to mean?
Eventually, my eyes were opened, and I really understood nature. I learned to love at the same time.
If you make decisions based upon people’s reactions or judgments then you make really boring choices.
You have to rely on your preparation. You got to really be passionate and try to prepare more than anyone else, and put yourself in a position to succeed, and when the moment comes you got to enjoy, relax, breathe and rely on your preparation so that you can perform and not be anxious or filled with doubt.
If we can really understand the problem, the answer will come out of it, because the answer is not separate from the problem.
I really rebel against this idea that politics has to be a place full of ego and where you’re constantly focused on scoring hits against each one another. Yes, we need a robust democracy, but you can be strong, and you can be kind.
I have only one eye, I have a right to be blind sometimes… I really do not see the signal!
The only man who is really free is the one who can turn down an invitation to dinner without giving an excuse.
You will learn more from your failures than your successes – so embrace those mistakes, as difficult as that sounds, and grow from them. When a project is successful, you’re never really sure why, because so many elements come into play. However, when you fail, you always know why. That is how you learn and grow.
I really try to spend as little time as possible on grooming. I think if you have a good moisturizer and a solid razor to clean up the beard, you’re golden.
I enjoyed the position I was in as a tennis player. I was to blame when I lost. I was to blame when I won. And I really like that, because I played soccer a lot too, and I couldn’t stand it when I had to blame it on the goalkeeper.
There are really three parts to the creative process. First there is inspiration, then there is the execution, and finally there is the release.
What really matters is how God sees me. He isn’t concerned with labels; he is concerned about the state of man’s soul.
In twenty years you’ll look back at photos of yourself and recall in a way you can’t grasp now how much possibility lay before you and how fabulous you really looked.
The best part about being alone is that you really don’t have to answer to anybody. You do what you want.
