A basic rule of life for reporters is that you should spend your time talking with and learning about people who are not sending you press releases, rather than those who are.
What I've come to know is that in life, it's not always the questions we ask, but rather our ability to hear the answers that truly enriches our understanding. Never, never stop learning.
I was learning things in school rather than learning how to teach myself, which is what you have to do in life, so I just abandoned it and did ceramics for a year and a half.
We are the creative force of our life, and through our own decisions rather than our conditions, if we carefully learn to do certain things, we can accomplish those goals.
Don't ever give up. Believe in yourself or no one else will. My personal saying is: 'I'd rather die knowing that I tried to do what I love.'
I write about what haunts me, and I write the books I myself am dying to read. I love it. I can't think of anything I'd rather do.
I would love to try to win another game. Obviously, it's more fun when you win. I'd rather try and not win than not try at all.
I'm always shy when I meet people I admire so I wouldn't be able to say anything rather than, 'How do you do? Love you! Bye!'

It is not one's negative situation that causes stress in one's life; rather, it is one's frequent negative interpretation of it that has the power to do so.
I prefer to underplay scenes rather than, you know, be big and drive them. And sometimes you have to do that, but I like the more natural styles.
An advanced city is not a place where the poor move about in cars, rather it’s where even the rich use public transportation
Increasingly, consumers don't search for products and services. Rather, services come to their attention via social media.
When will our consciences grow so tender that we will act to prevent human misery rather than avenge it?
The last thing in the world my parents would want to do is get on a stage or do a movie. They would probably rather die. But they let me be who I was, and they supported me.
As we watch TV or films, there are no organic transitions, only edits. The idea of A becoming B, rather than A jumping to B, has become foreign.
I can't bear the thought of my mother having to push me around in a wheelchair. I'd rather die quickly.
I had rather believe all the Fables in the Legend, and the Talmud, and the Alcoran, than that this universal frame is without a Mind.
