New York has always had a love for Southern artists. There's no place else that makes me feel like the city does. I just love the immediate nature of the city, you can get whatever you want whenever you want it and do whatever you want whenever you w...
There's always going to be someone out there... who doesn't believe in you or who thinks your head is too big or you're not smart enough. But those are the people you need to ignore, and those are the times you need to just keep doing what you love d...
I always wanted to be a film-maker when I was younger, not an actor. I was an eight-year-old who dreamed of being a writer on 'The Simpsons,' which was a weird dream to have. But I started taking acting classes as a way to learn how to direct actors ...
Cameras love pretty girls and craggy, old character men more than they can take craggy, old character women. But that's what's always happened. Work out how you can fit into it, and make that work. There are never going to be millions of parts for ol...
I made the big turnaround in the early Nineties when I started hearing all the tenth generation punk bands like Green Day and Offspring and all those people. It just made me fall in love with punk again and remember my roots, and since that time I've...
For me, movies and television are interesting because they are the dominant storytelling form of our time. My first love will always be fiction, and especially novels, but I'm a writer... I write poetry and essays and criticism and I'd love to write ...
You weren't born to live a life of failure. God brought you into this world to fight with faith and courage until each and every one of your battles is won. So by all means, always keep your mind strong, head up, and keep on fighting.
A lot of things in life take time to manifest into reality. But as for self-love, there's no excuse to not have it in your life right at this very moment. It is free, and it's only a matter of changing your thoughts and beliefs to always compliment y...
I truly agree that every man should treat his woman like a Queen. But in return, his woman should appreciate him by treating him like a King. We should always be willing to give as we expect to receive from others.
Regardless of what some people might say about you, always remember that your presence on earth truly matters. However, you should never forget that your stay on earth is to consistently strive to make a positive difference.
Never waste your time on those who speak ill of you, because they will never matter in your life. Miserable minds are always seeking for people to suffer with them. Therefore, it is your sole daily responsibility to never permit them to turn you into...
Always doing what seems easy is not where your true potential in life lies. Instead, you have to start doing the things that fear you the most. You truly have more abilities in you that you could ever possibly imagine.

No matter what you are going through in life at the moment, always remember that your circumstances can never determine your future. You can still turn things around if you keep your eyes fully focused on the big prize that lies ahead.
I don't make friends based on how big their pockets are or how well connected they are; rather I make friends based on how positive their minds are. It is hard to end up with a very complicated lifestyle if you are always surrounded by positive minde...
Be the best representation of your true positive self, because people will always have something to say no matter how you choose to live your life. So you might as well live your life the best possible way that makes you happy.
No one can make your life miserable without the consent of your frequent thoughts. Frequent negative emotions and feelings can only be created in your mind. Therefore, always guard your mind against negative self-talk, because thoughts create feeling...
I'm fascinated by the ways in which people express themselves, because their responses are often counter to what they're actually feeling. Like when they're frightened, they tend to freeze. When they're angry, it doesn't always come out as volume. Th...
I was always drawn to teachers who made class interesting. In high school, I enjoyed my American and English literature classes because my teachers, Jeanne Dorsey and Dani Barton, created an environment where interaction was important.
That's what we want to do here at Johnson Space Center. I think what we have always brought to NASA and brought to the country is trying to push the boundaries, trying to go to the next level.
As comfortable as I was with my adoption, the nature-versus-nurture question has been a big one for me. I adore my parents, but I always wondered if I would feel a different kind of love-not more or less, just different-for someone who was biological...
