Environmental scientists in Canada said it was impossible for me to get to the Pole in 2004... I said 'no,' it's still OK, and I can still get there, and I did.
I spent six years in Bible study because I needed to get grounded. People really need to spend time in the Bible getting to know the God they claim to love.
You don't sign up for a divorce when you get married. It's very painful. But it's taught me a great deal about myself.
I'm getting optimistic. I think, as I talk to people around the country - they seem to get it. They want a return to those things that made America different and great.
Everyone has their 'Showgirls.' We remember the great films actors have been in, and the rest get forgotten. But occasionally, people like to revisit the ones that get swept aside.
As far as I was concerned the important thing was that the music was getting the attention as well as me so it was always a great way to get more of the public to connect with classical music, and opera particularly.
I work in a medium where I get to be totally invisible and I get great pleasure from that, being a pretty self-conscious person.
If I find something I like, I'll chase it and see what comes out the other side. Once a song gets momentum and gets away from you, that's a good sign.

It was good to learn so early. They're not going to be kind to you. You have to do it and get on, and then gulp down and get better.
Most good programmers do programming not because they expect to get paid or get adulation by the public, but because it is fun to program.
By all means, marry. If you get a good wife, you'll become happy; if you get a bad one, you'll become a philosopher.
Every time there's a really good story, there's women in it. We may not get as many roles, but the roles we get are really good, I think, for the most part.
Love casts out fear, but we have to get over the fear in order to get close enough to love them.
To me, my biggest fear is getting a big head, and that is when I get the hammer. Because it's very easy in this game to believe you're something special.
Hope is the belief we might get it done, and faith is the knowledge we will get it done.
I like getting older. When you're in your twenties you're really forging for your future. Things take shape later on.
We all know funny people who can't get it down on the page - even funny writers who can't get it down on the page.
I was just going at this career - boom, boom, boom! Then all of a sudden, at 38, Oh, my God - I forgot to get married!
You can't get around pain and opposition, but you can try to be joyful in the trial, and thank yourself for the trial, and thank God for the strength to get through it.
