I'm pretty much fixated on certain themes. family, but it's family of choice as much as family of blood. individuality, yes, but not at the cost of others' happiness. be true to your friends. remembering to find some wonder and hope in the world. basically it boils down to: treat people like you'd like them to treat you, leave the world a little better than it was when you got here, respect others and stand up for those who can't stand up for themselves.

Find a way to say yes to things. say yes to invitations to a new country, say yes to meet new friends, say yes to learning a new language, picking up a new sport. yes is how you get your first job, and your next job, and your spouse, and even your kids. even if it's a bit edgy, a bit out of your comfort zone, saying yes means that you will do something new, meet someone new, and make a difference in your life. yes lets you stand out in a crowd, be the optimist, to stay positive, be the one everyone comes to. yes is what keeps us all young.

We learnt a lot because we got in with real choreographers who tell you what they need from a song, because a song has to advance the story. then real directors like mike nichols tell you where you can have 'b themes' and 'c themes', and we go oh yes, b themes and c themes! so we were taught in the finest school amongst the finest people. and also by the school of experience.

And then the spirit brings hope, hope in the strictest christian sense, hope which is hoping against hope. for an immediate hope exists in every person; it may be more powerfully alive in one person than in another; but in death every hope of this kind dies and turns into hopelessness. into this night of hopelessness (it is death that we are describing) comes the life-giving spirit and brings hope, the hope of eternity. it is against hope, for there was no longer any hope for that merely natural hope; this hope is therefore a hope contrary to hope.

Some like them hot,some like them cold. some like them when they're not to darn old some like them fat,some like them lean. some like them only at sweet sixteen. some like them dark,some like them light. some like them in the park,late at night. some like them fickle,some like them true, but the time i like them is when they're like you

Life without balance can cost you your relationships. life without balance can cost you your health. life without balance can cost you your spirituality. life without balance can cost you your wealth and your happiness. so find things to motivate you from all areas of life. your success depends on it.

Find a way to say “yes” to things. say yes to invitations to a new country, say yes to meet new friends, say yes to learning a new language, picking up a new sport. yes is how you get your first job, and your next job. yes is how you find your spouse, and even your kids.

Similar Quotes

I must tell you i take terrible risks. because my playing is very clear, when i make a mistake you hear it. if you want me to play only the notes without any specific dynamics, i will never make one mistake. never be afraid to dare.

If the lives of men were relieved of all need, hardship and adversity; if everything they took in hand were successful, they would be so swollen with arrogance that, though they might not burst, they would present the spectacle of unbridled folly-nay, they would go mad. and i may say, further, that a certain amount of care or pain or trouble is necessary for every man at all times. a ship without ballast is unstable and will not go straight.

I love performing, but i never really liked show business. my success is my family. i want to be more successful as a mother.

If you take too long in deciding what to do with your life, you'll find you've done it.
