A good movie is made by an initial burst of energy, the way that, when you are in school, your class exercises are always better than your final projects.
I went to school and made good grades and went to college. So I was afforded an opportunity through my parents' hard work that most people don't have.
The decisions I've made have not always been the most popular, but when I look back, I want to know I've played for good football teams.
I did enjoy Nashville a lot of the time, because I made really good friends who were really good songwriters, and they would be a joy to hang out with.
My parents had a great marriage. Interestingly, it made it harder for me in relationships because I knew what a good relationship looked like.
The other thing that I started doing for myself was, I went through my diary of ideas that I keep and made sure that the translation of the comic to the movie was good.
When you are angry or frustrated, what comes out? Whatever it is, it's a good indication of what you're made of.
If you introduce person A to person B, and then person B is able to solve a pain point in his life, then you just made a good connection.
My appearance was always good and my ability to play on the piano, especially ragtime, which was then at the height of its vogue, made me a welcome guest.
I'm the one who made many of the bold comments that we'd seen the technologies from AMD as pretty good. Their technology in many areas was leading. But those are transient.
Acting was something that just came along. But I made good money, so it wasn't something I was just going to put aside and pretend it didn't exist.
There was definitely a lack of any sort of villain in the Clinton era, which is why, when Columbine happened, it was easy to pick on me. My face was around, and it made good TV.
If you do one good thing, that doesn't define you either. Being around the kids in the juvenile center, they were engaging, they made us laugh but they were there for doing something terrible.
I always feel like there's something magic in recording studios. There's a reason good music continues to be made in them. It's just some mojo element.
I had strong legs that would have made me a good sumo wrestler and I used that to my advantage, but my home runs were achieved by technique.
Kennedy had made a mess in Cuba at the Bay of Pigs. He had to do something to look good. The Apollo program of going to the Moon was quite a goal.
What is a movie star? It is an illusion. It was everything I ever wanted to be, but it became a kind of shell, non? It was what made me famous and got me women. But it wasn't real.
I had no desire to be famous; I just wanted to make the greatest music ever made. I didn't want anyone to know who I was.
The mysteries of faith are degraded if they are made into an object of affirmation and negation, when in reality they should be an object of contemplation.
We not only romanticize the future; we have also made it into a growth industry, a parlor game and a disaster movie all at the same time.
In future, lots of things will be made from beans and fibres grown on the farmers' fields. This new science is called chemurgy. Plastics, for industry, will come from the soil.
