I think about that with kids – you want to do everything for them, but you realize if you do everything, and you make it easy on them, they won’t learn anything, and then they will walk around life needing their mamas all the time, and that isn’t attractive.
Being 36 years old changes you a lot, and so does eight years away from career, fame, needing attention, needing to be loved by strangers on some level. I was loving anonymity. I was loving the fact that I could meet a girl who didn’t know who I was. I enjoyed it very much, I have to say.
Needing to have things perfect is the surest way to immobilize yourself with frustration.
Back in the early 1970s, what got me and another 400,000 kids out of bed without needing to be called twice was the latest issue of The Amazing Spider-Man.
I’ve always seen myself as one of those ‘show people.’ My earliest memories are wanting and needing to entertain people, like a gypsy traveler who goes from place to place, city to city, performing for audiences and reaching people.
I left with nothing and needing to begin a new career.
All the characters in my films are fighting these problems, needing freedom, trying to find a way to cut themselves loose, but failing to rid themselves of conscience, a sense of sin, the whole bag of tricks.
I’m less needy about needing to express myself through acting. I have many different lives outside of this that are extremely fulfilling.
Mother’ is not just about the physical mother but the fact of needing to be mothered, needing to have something that surrounded me.
I think it’s because it’s so different and it takes risks. Plus, it’s really smart humor. It gives the audience credit in terms of not needing to tell them when to laugh. I love that about the show. There’s no laugh track.
I remember that the first time I looked at my son, of course I felt love. But I think the first feeling was not love: it was fear. Someone is needing me. If something happens to him, what am I going to do? Maybe I won’t survive if something happens to him? The fear was as big as the love.
No one is immune to needing to sit or needing to go down at the right time, and you want to give guys a chance.
The back story of a songwriter isn’t important to me – I don’t listen to music needing to know who the guy is.
I’d got into the habit of needing that security, love, and acceptance from a guy to make me happy.
I have OCD and, literally, walking on the left, needing things to be in even numbers with few exceptions. One and seven, any number that ends in seven, that’s all me. All the tics like the pulling of the ear and scratching of the palms, all me.
Stay true to your own voice, and don’t worry about needing to be liked or what anybody else thinks. Keep your eyes on your own paper.
There’s a little vanity chair that Charlie gave me the first Christmas we knew each other. I’ll not be parting with that, nor our bed – the four-poster – I’ll be needing that to die in.
The theme of sisters – of missing sisters, of needing sisters, the special love that sisters share or the antagonism sisters share – is something that is very close to me.
I’m in a very good place to make records. Needing to make money off music is very dangerous.
Biden can talk about politics not needing to be a raging fire. But it is.
If I wasn’t plagued by needing to write things, that would perhaps be a blessing.
There’s an underlining nice feeling of needing to be needed constantly.
I work so I don’t need to make rent through my songs, and I think if more people engaged with music without needing it to provide for their welfare, you’re not beholden to anyone.
I operate with this sense of needing to live up to what I am asking of people. I am, by far, my own worst critic.
The entire idea of building a series of systems in a business is simply this – to create the tools that allow you, as a business owner, to increase productivity and get the job done. The idea behind these systems, of course, is to quit needing your judgement or input in every area of the business.
