But I’m very thankful that no one is slamming my head against the wall anymore.
My last divorce was in ’68. What made it come to a head was a promise. See, I had promised her that the next year I wouldn’t work as much. But then I got in trouble with the IRS, and I had to continue working just as much to pay the government. So she said I lied, which is something I never did.
The career of a sage is of two kinds: He is either honored by all in the world, Like a flower waving its head, Or else he disappears into the silent forest.

If I create from the heart, nearly everything works; if from the head, almost nothing.
To go to the synagogue with one’s father on the Passover eve – is there in the world a greater pleasure than that? What is it worth to be dressed in new clothes from head to foot, and to show off before one’s friends? Then the prayers themselves – the first Festival evening prayer and blessing.
I don’t care who you are. When you sit down to write the first page of your screenplay, in your head, you’re also writing your Oscar acceptance speech.
When I rehearse, it ends up doing more harm than good. I think I work a little bit better when it’s right off the bat. Mostly, I try to wrap my head around a role as much as I can without rehearsing and then kind of make it as fresh as possible on the day.
A strength to harm is perilous in the hand of an ambitious head.
I like to read away as much of the afternoon as possible, until real life rears its ugly head.

Bill Goldberg kicked me in the head and ended my career because he didn’t know what he was doing.
The stories are there first, and they come from my experiences wandering around in the world. They will resonate into bigger things, forces sweeping the planet, themes and archetypes, but I’m not smart enough to have lucid integration of all that in my head as I’m writing.
His head is made of stars, but not yet arranged into constellations.
A team takes on the personality of the head coach.

The burdens of being a head coach are different from being an assistant. If I had been an assistant coach for awhile, then become a head coach, I probably would have lasted longer.
Our coach was absolutely out of his head. He must have read Bear Bryant’s book. We had 78 players out. The first day 35 quit. Twenty quit the second day. We ended with 17 players. It was depressing.
If it’s a healthy day, I’ll head to the gym, then have a steak salad at the cafe next door.
Being natural is incredibly empowering for women because it’s just who you are. You’re embracing all the beautiful things about you from your head to your toes. Because when you mask so much of your natural beauty, people don’t get to see that.
He that will believe only what he can fully comprehend must have a long head or a very short creed.
A wise man should have money in his head, but not in his heart.
I paint my own reality. The only thing I know is that I paint because I need to, and I paint whatever passes through my head without any other consideration.
I developed in my head that I’m never any better than my last concert or the last time I played, so it’s like an audition each time. You get nervous just before going onstage. I still have that, but I think it’s more like concern. You’re concerned about the people – like meeting your in-laws for the first time.
I had soaked up all of these ideas about what it meant to be a creative person from media and culture. And I had this idea in my head that if this was your calling it was supposed to be fun. It was supposed to feel good to wrestle with a blank page. And imagine my surprise when it wasn’t fun at all.
I’m probably my biggest critic. I worry that if you spend any quality time reveling in good things then karma will slap you upside the head, so I try to stay as even keel as I’m able.
The monsters are in your own head.
I tend to be freer on the piano. I never took guitar lessons, so my reach exceeds my grasp – what I hear in my head I don’t always know how to play. But I love to play over something else. I’m not a self-starter. I get kind of bored with the same three folk chords that I know.
My mother was very strong. Once, she picked up a coconut and smashed it against my father’s head. It taught me about women defending themselves and not collapsing in a heap.
When I started law school I was shocked to learn that our legal system traditionally had the man as the head and master of the family. As late as the ’70s and ’80s when we were fighting for the Equal Rights Amendment, states like Louisiana still had a head and master law.
I do have in the back of my head that you never know how long it lasts.
Each and every head coach has their own ideas and philosophy. This club had a clear picture of what I would bring, and I was aware of what Norwich City means. I decided to sign here because I’m fully convinced this club is where I want to be.
It was a privilege to direct the music video for Adele’s beautiful, heartbreaking song, ‘Hello.’ When I first heard it, all the images appeared clearly in my head – and her trust and generosity allowed me to work with abandon artistically and emotionally, like she always does. It made me extremely proud.
With optimism, you look upon the sunny side of things. People say, ‘Studs, you’re an optimist.’ I never said I was an optimist. I have hope because what’s the alternative to hope? Despair? If you have despair, you might as well put your head in the oven.
I often begin movies with music in my head; it’s a very important dimension to me. Not just the music itself, but how to use music in film: when and how and subtlety. I don’t like to be too sweet in my stories, and I like the abrasive clang, the contrasting of sounds and cultures.
They might not need me; but they might. I’ll let my head be just in sight; a smile as small as mine might be precisely their necessity.
Regional developers have a clear head start in their home communities. They have been there longer and understand their market. As a result, these markets are, in fact, more competitive than those in Manila.
The insufferable arrogance of human beings to think that Nature was made solely for their benefit, as if it was conceivable that the sun had been set afire merely to ripen men’s apples and head their cabbages.
I actually wash my face with Johnson’s Baby Shampoo. It’s the best face wash. I swear, it’s so good! I mean, think about it. It’s made for a baby’s head. It smells so good, it’s sensitive, and it gives you a super clean feeling.
I’ve still got a brilliant head of hair, which refuses to lay down!
One must just keep having good seasons with many great matches, whether one is with the club or the French national side. For me, this must be a player’s goal in his head, even if it’s an individual trophy, and the first thought must be on the collective.
I don’t think a female running a house is a problem, a broken family. It’s perceived as one because of the notion that a head is a man.
My dad gave me a haircut… and it wasn’t a very good one. When I went out of the house, my friends got on my case and said it looked like someone put a chili bowl over my head and cut around it.
A film is made in somebody’s head – out of their determination to do it at all.
I remember lying out in my bed and looking at the vast, quiet sky. Right up above my head, there were three stars in a row, and I remember thinking, ‘Well, I’ll have those three stars all my life, and wherever I am, they will be. They are my stars, and they belong to me.’
Because I knew how hard I worked, I knew the pain, I knew the sacrifice, I knew the tears, I knew everything. Despite everything, I stuck to it. I toughed it out, and I kept my head in the game, even when the odds were against me.
I can’t imagine how traumatic it must be to have a gun pointed to your head for no reason at all.
In my head I feel like I’m a female transgender to male but also like a drag queen.
That nice, soft pillow and the warm blanket, and it’s all comfortable, and no one wants to leave that comfort – but if you can wake up early in the morning, get a head start on everyone else that’s still sleeping, get productive time doing things that you need to do – that’s a huge piece to moving your life forward.
There is no safe blow to the head, especially for a child.
On ‘Takeaway’ we wear these little earpieces because the show is live, but if you push them into your ear they go further into your eardrum and really hurt. One woman flung her arms around us and crushed my head so the earpiece went in. I nearly fainted. I lost my vision for a bit.
