The notion of having your muse was not something that was built for women originally. That’s not to say women don’t have muses. I get muses in terms of actors or writers who inspire me, so I understand the concept.
Mostly what I’m focused on is finding people who are younger who haven’t built companies before but have a good idea.
I’d change nothing in my career path. I was never built for being a handsome teenage star. That’s just not in my psyche, I think. I would have hated to have grown up famous.
Life is relationship, living is relationship. We cannot live if you and I have built a wall around ourselves and just peep over that wall occasionally. Unconsciously, deeply, under the wall, we are related.
America was not built on kindness or the Christianity of Christ. It was not built on freedom or liberty. This nation was built on white supremacy.
It has never been, and never will be easy work! But the road that is built in hope is more pleasant to the traveler than the road built in despair, even though they both lead to the same destination.
I’ve built up such a thick skin. It’s very easy to take one comment – whether it be a really mean comment that digs deep or just something rude – and really run with it. It’s so easy: if there are 100 comments, and 99 are nice, you just run with the bad one.
America was not built on fear. America was built on courage, on imagination and an unbeatable determination to do the job at hand.
I was so lucky because what I did in ‘Thor’ was I built the character from the ground up – the foundations of his spirit, really. He was someone who was born with an expectation that he would one day be a king, born with an entitlement.
Well, as we built the business in the 1990’s, as I said, I enjoyed that.
We remain open to explore options on a voluntary approach built on a realistic outlook for the Greek economy and restoration of Greece’s market access.
Golf courses sell real estate and that’s why they’re built.
It was so weird that I would end up directing ‘The Greatest Game Ever Played,’ because, y’know, I’m not a big golfer myself. But I grew up around the game. My mom and dad kind of built their dream house off the 11th fairway of Shady Oaks Country Club in Fort Worth.
In running, I know that I can train as much as I want and I’m never going to break the world record for the five miles. It’s partly genetics; I’m just not built for it. But if I worked really hard, I might be able to cut my time by half. Could I do the same thing with my mind and my well-being?
Typically, if you reward something, you get more of it. You punish something, you get less of it. And our businesses have been built for the last 150 years very much on that kind of motivational scheme.
There is only one entity which I built, which is HCL. And the legacy which I want to leave behind that is in my name. There is only one thing which bears my name in the doorsteps – that is only the University and the foundation. And that legacy will not have a price tag.
I was impressed with what someone like Karl Lagerfeld built and did and the house that he made, but there was never really a female figure I wanted to emulate.
I really believe that what happens one day affects the next, and I think that came from that experience of learning that if I told the score inning by inning, play by play, it built up to its natural climax.
I grew up in Los Alamos, New Mexico, which is my hometown. In Los Alamos is, for people who don’t know, a nuclear lab that built the atomic bomb. The only reason the town exists is to make nuclear weapons and weapons of mass destruction, and that’s still happening there.
I’ve had a good run. I’ve built a lot of things that work and a lot of things that didn’t work.
Children are not casual guests in our home. They have been loaned to us temporarily for the purpose of loving them and instilling a foundation of values on which their future lives will be built.
I’m built like a 14-year-old boy. I have no waist, so anything I wear has to have a lot of trickeration going on. I don’t fit into girl dresses. I can’t just slip it on.
This is really a new NHL and it’s built on speed and young guys.
Generosity has built America. When we fail to invest in children, we have to pay the cost.
The first colony on Mars is not going to be built by a private company. How are you going to make money? You’re not.
I learned from my uncle that jazz, like symphony music, was built to last.
I liken myself to someone who built the house he will live in one day and is preparing to furnish it.
A lot of people have said a lot of great things about Steve Jobs. And for good reason: he built the world’s second-most valuable company, with billions in profits and products that have improved every aspect of our lives. But Steve didn’t get there by being a soft, fluffy, Kumbaya-type leader.
You need in the long run for stability, for economic growth, for jobs, as well as for financial stability, global economic institutions that make sure that growth to be sustained has to be shared, and are built on the principle that the prosperity of this world is indivisible.
One problem was that my direct testimony was in writing, so a lot of people didn’t get to see it. I hope they see it, because I think it built a very strong case.
That a man built the biggest church in the world is not an issue, not something to be excited about. The people of Satan also have money to build a big place and worship him.
The reason why Botswana has done very well is because it’s the only black African country which went back to its roots and built upon its own indigenous institutions.
Traits acquired during one’s lifetime – muscles built up in the gym, for example – cannot be passed on to the next generation. Now with technology, as it happens, we might indeed be able to transfer some of our acquired traits on to our selected offspring by genetic engineering.
I am not a politician. I’m an American businessman and entrepreneur that have built two businesses, and I try to play it straight with people.
Success in the revolution and construction depends on how a party, the General Staff of the revolution, is built and on how its leadership role is enhanced.
This town was built on nepotism.
My brothers were tremendous shack builders. My shacks were horrible. My brothers once built a two-story shack from the ground up that was awesome!
The human brain is built to compare; it’s Darwinian to consider an alternative when one presents itself.
Complexity that works is built up out of modules that work perfectly, layered one over the other.
After you have built a fanbase, people call you to promote their films. Often, it leads to acting offers. After that, it’ just a matter of your film working.
I was in Peru and visited a building near Lima built by the Incas. It was low in height, with no windows at all, but all the way in the back there was air movement. And I couldn’t figure out how they’d done it; it was incredible.
Well I guess my music came to prominence around one piece called ‘In C’ which I wrote in 1964 at that time it was called ‘The Global Villages for Symphonic Pieces’, because it was a piece built out of 53 simple patterns and the structure was new to music at that time.
Despite the belief of many career bureaucrats that elected political leadership works for them, our system is built on the idea that the permanent bureaucracy, such as it exists, works for the elected leadership, which in turn works for and represents the American public.
Over the years, myths were built up about my relationship with Fred Astaire. The general public thought he was a Svengali, who snapped his fingers for his little Trilby to obey; in their eyes, my career was his creation.
As his partner on this amazing journey, I can tell you Mitt Romney was not handed success. He built it.
There are elements of intrinsic beauty in the simplification of a house built on the log cabin idea.
It was not possible to film in California, because all the areas are heavily built up now. Coming to Cape Town is an invitation to step into the past and recreate Los Angeles of the 1930s.
Humanity has nearly suffocated the globe with carbon dioxide, yet nuclear power plants that produce no such emissions are so mired in objections and obstruction that, despite renewed interest on every continent, it is unlikely another will be built in the United States.
No, ancient astronauts did not build the pyramids – human beings built them, because they’re clever and they work hard.
The rockets… can be built so powerfully that they could be capable of carrying a man aloft.
Do you know how many houses all of the nonprofits have built? No more than 5,000 in five years. Do you know how many we lost? Two hundred thousand.
In remembering the appalling suffering of war on both sides, we recognise how precious is the peace we have built in Europe since 1945.
It’s our culture, Christian history, that’s what formed me. Even as an atheist, I believe. We’re just built that way.
I was built for the long run, not for the short dash, I guess.
The chariot was purchased by a private collector who took it home to New York. I take pleasure in knowing that it was built to last for at least a thousand years.
Dad built houses and when they were sold, he moved on to a new town, so I know a lot about my native state.
