With all the media attention, all the love from the fans, I felt I needed to prove myself. Prove that I’m not a marketing tool, I’m not a ploy to improve attendance. Prove I can play in this league. But I’ve surrendered that to God. I’m not in a battle with what everybody else thinks anymore.
Because I’m a sweet, kind guy, everybody thinks I’m an idiot, I’m weak.

NI love watching science fiction because I feel like when it’s done well, it’s not just monsters, but philosophy. Really good science fiction like, ‘2001,’ for example, or the first ‘Matrix.’ But it takes someone who’s got a brain and thinks in order to do really good science fiction.
See, that’s the thing: I’m not one of those actors who thinks, ‘God, I’ve got to improvise and make it my own.’ No, my first job as an actor is to take what’s written and make it work. And then, if they want me to improvise, I’ll do that.
My boyfriend thinks it’s crazy that I wear a different bikini every day on holiday.
The Christian conceives of his abode on Earth in no more delightful colors than the Jainist sectarian. He sees in it only a time of sad trial; he also thinks that his true country is not of this world.
I thinks it really interesting how they throw the world music samples in there. I often wonder what it would be like to do something like that, but use my lyrics and my kind of style.
No one gives a damn what Iran thinks on any significant issue. The only reason Iran is at the big boys’ table is because of their nuclear weapons program.
A proud man is seldom a grateful man, for he never thinks he gets as much as he deserves.
Every man has a right to utter what he thinks truth, and every other man has a right to knock him down for it. Martyrdom is the test.
Anybody who thinks talk is cheap should get some legal advice.
Silence has been destroyed, but also the idea that it’s important to learn how another person thinks, to enter the mind of another person. The whole idea of empathy is gone. We are now part of this giant machine where every second we have to take out a device and contribute our thoughts and opinions.
If you’re an actress or a musician, everyone thinks you’re hot.
At some point in their life, everyone thinks they should go to law school. You may in fact think you want to go to law school now.
Donald Trump is well known for liking people he thinks are tough.

Every pilot thinks they’re the best pilot in the world. I think I’m the best pilot.
I am sure Mr Heath thinks he is honest but I wish he didn’t have to have his friends say it so often.
Man does not speak because he thinks; he thinks because he speaks. Or rather, speaking is no different than thinking: to speak is to think.
No one sits in front of a drum set and thinks they invented it all out of whole cloth. The fact that the set is there means that you’ve got some dues to pay to Baby Dodds.
The true barbarian is he who thinks everything barbarous but his own tastes and prejudices.
I don’t have a model’s body. But I’m not one of those crazy girls who thinks that they’re fat. I’m okay with what I have. I can rock this body, you know?

The only one who thinks the world is safer since the occupation of Iraq is Bush.
My mom taught me, ‘There are a lot of doubters out there.’ It doesn’t matter what everybody else thinks.
You don’t seem to realize that a poor person who is unhappy is in a better position than a rich person who is unhappy. Because the poor person has hope. He thinks money would help.
In the beginning, everybody that gets to work with me, thinks I’m nice. But three weeks later, they hear a bell ringing. Then they realise I meant everything I said during that first week. It’s not my fault people are not taking me serious from the first moment.
The book to read is not the one which thinks for you, but the one which makes you think. No book in the world equals the Bible for that.
I don’t really care what others think of me. You’re not going to please everybody. I care what I think and what my children and my husband thinks.
I spent most of my career in business not saying the word ‘woman.’ Because if you say the word ‘woman’ in a business context, and often in a political context, the person on the other side of the table thinks you’re about to sue them or ask for special treatment, right?
Everyone thinks you have to grow up to know who you are, but kids already know who we are. The world just beats it out of us.
Some golfers, we are told, enjoy the landscape; but properly, the landscape shrivels and compresses into the grim, surrealistically vivid patch of grass directly under the golfer’s eyes as he morosely walks toward where he thinks his ball might be.
People think of the inventor as a screwball, but no one ever asks the inventor what he thinks of other people.
I do not think that the educational program of our schools should be determined by what the community thinks it needs.
America somehow thinks that leadership relates to governance, and it certainly does. But society is much bigger than governance, and some of the truly great leadership of our society is outside the governance arena.
One is just an interpreter of what the playwright thinks, and therefore the greater the playwright, the more satisfying it is to act in the plays.
I think that’s the most beautiful thing about being confident – just loving yourself, not caring what everybody else thinks. Because you could be Mother Theresa, and people are still going to try to find some imperfection.
In talking with people that have experienced it, I learned that PTSD is something that a person in a position of authority sometimes thinks they’re not supposed to have. They don’t always have an avenue to personally address it or even discuss it.
Each country thinks its school is in a specific crisis, without ever linking the school’s crisis to that of the society around it.
What anybody else thinks about you is really of no consequence. It’s what you think of yourself.
Everybody thinks that when new technologies come along that they’re transparent and you can just do your job well on it. But technologies always import a whole new set of values with them.
If somebody thinks they’re a hedgehog, presumably you just give ’em a mirror and a few pictures of hedgehogs and tell them to sort it out for themselves.
I like people who are minimalist with their words. Jack Nicholson thinks a lot then says something, and it’s always spot on. Nelson Mandela is the same.
We still need a voice that thinks before it speaks.
Jonny doesn’t want to do TV interviews because he thinks that he comes across as an idiot.
It is always brave to say what everyone thinks.

I will not vote for a candidate who thinks you can ‘pray away the gay;’ I will not vote for a candidate who thinks that he has more rights to my uterus than I do; I will not vote for a candidate who thinks that it’s okay to dump toxic waste in the ocean.
The dissenter is every human being at those moments of his life when he resigns momentarily from the herd and thinks for himself.
Insecurity is a natural part of human nature, and there are times we feel our stories are not worth telling, so we turn to the people we admire for strength. If we dress like someone everyone thinks is cool, perhaps we’ll be seen as cool.
Our regulatory bodies strive to create honest dealings, fair trades, and a situation in which no one has an advantage over anyone else. But human beings aren’t honest. And all trades are made because one person thinks he’s getting the better of the other, and the other person thinks the same.
No comedian’s wife thinks he’s funny. The first few years of the marriage, maybe. I was funny as hell the first couple of years.
Jon Stewart hires people that he thinks are funny. That’s it. That’s the only requirement.
