I find that when I put my spiritual life first, the rest of my life is easy. When I put my career first, that's when I have problems.
Life in the twentieth century is like a parachute jump: you have to get it right the first time.
During the week that I arrived in the United States, I saw an airport, used a telephone, used a library, talked with a scientist, and was shown a computer for the first time in my life.
At the end of the Beatles, I really was done in for the first time in my life. Until then, I really was a kind of cocky sod.
The moment the curtain rose on that first ballet, I knew something wonderful and new had come into my life. I can still see the first scene. The ballet was Divertimento No. 15.
Really it was the first time in my life that I recognised that acting is, I'm just going to say it, I am an artist, I have to do this, I have to do this.

I used to do a little acting in school. It was my first love, and I really thought I would be doing it as a career. I really wanted to complete that part of my ambition.
I love the protest signs protected by the First Amendment - some of them humorous, some of them passionate, some factual, some entirely incorrect - all of them free ideas.
I love Neil Young. His songs were the first songs I learned to play, and I recommend anyone who is starting guitar to learn Neil Young songs first.
The first version of The Beautiful Room Is Empty was the first mss. I'd ever submitted to New York editors.
When making the first album, I think I wrote a song about every six months. The first album was so much about the vocals carrying it.

The very FIRST Step to making your dreams come true....is to wake up from sleep.
