As an actor, every opportunity, every role, everything that I do is an opportunity to have someone have a human experience with my work. I don’t just want it to be about a cute wardrobe and a high paycheck.
10
When I was a kid, I used to pretend to be Bond; I used to make up scenarios and irritate my sister and annoy my mother and father pretending to be someone else, so I kind of was already acting when I was a child. I just didn’t really know it.
11
People generally let me be me. People are aware that I’m not someone particularly begging for attention. They hold back a bit with me.

If you love someone who’s an addict and their use is life-threatening, you don’t wait until they hit bottom because that can mean that they’re going to die. You have to do everything you can to get them in treatment.

A face is a road map of someone’s life. Without any need to amplify that or draw attention to it, there’s a great deal that’s communicated about who this person is and what their life experiences have been.
30
The environment around you shapes who you are. How you handle an emergency or how you react when someone is rude to you, that’s you.
31

Absolutely not. I have no problem with commitment. In fact, I love having someone in my life.
43
Activism is very seductive, and writing is painful and hard. It’s very scary to have a death threat living over your head. Activism is very sustaining. But I don’t view myself as a political person. I’m just someone who desperately wants to stay alive.
44
45
If you find someone you love in your life, then hang on to that love.
46
If life is a checker game, someone else is moving the pieces. It isn’t us. Don’t be surprised by amazing coincidences. There are no accidents. Consider, as I learned to do, the incredible interconnectedness of all of life.
47
48
When you fall head over heels for someone, you’re not falling in love with who they are as a person; you’re falling in love with your idea of love.
49
I want people to fall in love with themselves and to be really proud and full of joy for the space they take up. If someone else appreciates the space you take up, then that’s icing on the cake.

The world is yearning for strong leadership and moral clarity; someone who knows the difference between good and bad.

Fitness is not about being better than someone else… It’s about being better than you used to be.
55
56
57
Loneliness is, like, when you wish someone else was there, and solitude is when you enjoy being alone. I don’t always wanna be alone, but I definitely like pockets of solitude to recharge and come back to myself. I think that’s so important for everyone.

Love isn’t a switch you can turn on and off. You just can’t get rid of it, regardless of the circumstances, if you truly love someone.
62
63

80
Do what you do and mean it every second of the day. If you don’t, you’re living someone else’s life.
81
Once people are not here physically, the spiritual remains. We still connect, we can communicate, we can give and receive love and forgiveness. There is love after someone dies.
82
I’m not someone who chases illusions.
83

An alcoholic is someone you don’t like who drinks as much as you do.
85
86
87
88
Feelings aroused by the touch of someone’s hand, the sound of music, the smell of a flower, a beautiful sunset, a work of art, love, laughter, hope and faith – all work on both the unconscious and the conscious aspects of the self, and they have physiological consequences as well.
89
You cannot live your life looking at yourself from someone else’s point of view.
90
Expressions of affection, like putting your arm around someone’s shoulder, holding hands, or giving a kiss good night, involve the principle of honesty.
91
The worst possible thing in the world is to have someone who doesn’t believe in you.
92
93
I generally find that comparison is the fast track to unhappiness. No one ever compares themselves to someone else and comes out even. Nine times out of ten, we compare ourselves to people who are somehow better than us and end up feeling more inadequate.
94
95
We need to understand the difference between discipline and punishment. Punishment is what you do to someone; discipline is what you do for someone.

Never deprive someone of hope; it might be all they have.

There are just some really beautiful people in the world. When you’re walking down the street, or you’re at a restaurant, someone catches your eye because they have their own look. It goes way beyond what they’re wearing – into their mannerisms, the way they smile, or just the way they hold themselves.
104
105
One of the oldest human needs is having someone to wonder where you are when you don’t come home at night.
106
107
108
109
It takes someone with a vision of the possibilities to attain new levels of experience. Someone with the courage to live his dreams.
110
111
When someone forces me to do something I don’t do it.
112
113
114
Do more than is required. What is the distance between someone who achieves their goals consistently and those who spend their lives and careers merely following? The extra mile.
115
Solitude is fine, but you need someone to tell you that solitude is fine.
116
I noticed that there are no B batteries. I think that’s to avoid confusion, cause if there were you wouldn’t know if someone was stuttering. ‘Yes, hello I’d like some b-batteries.’ ‘What kind?’ ‘B-batteries.’ ‘What kind?’ ‘B-batteries!’ and D-batteries that’s hard for foreigners. ‘Yes, I would like de batteries.’
117
118
For me, the most interesting people are ones who often work against their best interests. Bad choices. They go in directions where you go, ‘No no no nooo!’ You push away someone who is trying to love you, you hurt someone who’s trying to get your trust, or you love someone you shouldn’t.
119
120
I do have my own personal convictions and values, and I live by those. But as an artist, as a portrait photographer, my job is to tell the truth and to capture someone’s spirit on a certain day. And it’s never the whole truth; it’s the truth I experience in a very intense and intimate fashion.
121
122
Teenagers ultimately don’t mind belonging to a group, because there’s always the opportunity to eventually become someone new. The elderly, by definition, are running out of opportunities for reinvention.

What is a friend? I will tell you… it is someone with whom you dare to be yourself.
124
125
126

141
I want someone that’s caring, funny, who’s similar to me – who doesn’t take life too seriously – keeps their private life private and is mature!
142
143
Loneliness is my least favorite thing about life. The thing that I’m most worried about is just being alone without anybody to care for or someone who will care for me.
144
145
146
You don’t walk away if you love someone. You help the person.
147
148
Without hurting anybody, we all tend to laugh at others’ discomfort. When someone slips on a banana skin and falls it’s funny.
149
Anyone who has declared someone else to be an idiot, a bad apple, is annoyed when it turns out in the end that he isn’t.
150
If you love someone – like, truly love someone – I don’t think that ever goes away. But what does change is your perspective on the relationship and the dynamic.
151
A samurai should always be prepared for death – whether his own or someone else’s.
152
I love quotations because it is a joy to find thoughts one might have, beautifully expressed with much authority by someone recognized wiser than oneself.
153
154
We are from a swipe-right generation, and that just comes to, ‘Oh you’re cute, let’s hook up,’ and that’s that. Where is actual, genuine connection that comes from spending quality time with someone?
155
156
157
The Constitution is worth saving, the rule of law is worth saving, democracy is worth saving, but these things can and will be lost if everyone waits around for someone else.
158
Romantic love is mental illness. But it’s a pleasurable one. It’s a drug. It distorts reality, and that’s the point of it. It would be impossible to fall in love with someone that you really saw.
159
160
Clothes mean nothing until someone lives in them.
161
162
163
164
I take time to get close to, and I don’t immediately throw my arms round someone.

167

Raquel Welch is someone I can also live without. We’ve got some love scenes together and I am dreading them!
169
We can’t help everyone, but everyone can help someone.
170
I will never be happy without having someone. Going to sleep alone kills me.
171
What makes someone sexy in my mind is who they are. It’s not necessarily how they look.
172
Who’s my hero? That’s a great question… Well, I think my dad is my hero, because he’s someone I look up to every day.
173
I wish people would look at me and think, ‘Well, someone like that exists!’ Accept the difference.
174
175
176
177
178
179
I don’t care what people think of me, unless they think I’m mean or something, but I don’t care if they think I’m like someone else because I know I’m not – I’m a total weirdo. I’m not selling a dream; I’m not selling fame like it is some sort of fantastic thing. I’m just trying to sell music and get on with my real life.
180
181
Lying is a cooperative act. Think about it. A lie has no power whatsoever by its mere utterance. Its power emerges when someone else agrees to believe the lie.
182
Everyone has a different life story. Things happen rapidly for someone, and things move slowly for others.
183
184
185
186
187
188
I hate abortions, but just could not make that choice for someone else.
189
Just because someone lives in a hut, that doesn’t mean that isn’t a good person, that that person can’t do better, that person isn’t capable of being great. And just because it’s a hut – whatever that means – doesn’t mean it’s not a home.
190
Someone once told me that something they really liked about me was that they thought that I was really down to earth and not high-maintenance. I think that was cool. It’s important to stay grounded.
191
192
I can’t even talk to someone and make eye contact.
193
Yes, but everyone is beautiful to someone.
194
As the years went by, working on Broadway, I started seeing that I had a fan base and that they were mostly young girls. They are looking for someone that they can look up to, that they see as a role model. And I don’t take that lightly; it’s a big responsibility.
195
If one app or news site or friend gets your attention, that means something or someone else loses it. It comes out of our sleep, our time with family or our reflective time with ourselves.
196
I was so lucky because what I did in ‘Thor’ was I built the character from the ground up – the foundations of his spirit, really. He was someone who was born with an expectation that he would one day be a king, born with an entitlement.
197
198
If you’re you, it doesn’t matter if you’re the most boring person in the world: someone will like you. You’re not trying to be anyone else.
199
The colour of someone’s skin doesn’t explain anything.
200
To bear with patience wrongs done to oneself is a mark of perfection, but to bear with patience wrongs done to someone else is a mark of imperfection and even of actual sin.
201
202
It is precisely the purpose of the public opinion generated by the press to make the public incapable of judging, to insinuate into it the attitude of someone irresponsible, uninformed.
203
204
When someone shows you who they are, believe them the first time.
205
Christmas is doing a little something extra for someone.
206

208
209

211
212
213
I would like to be remembered as someone who did the best she could with the talent she had.
214
215
The most exciting thing is not doing it. If you fall in love with someone and never do it, it’s much more exciting.
216
All human beings are inherently good, so when someone goes off the rails, there must be some mitigating factor – he was bullied, was a loner, had an abusive father, or a domineering mother, etc.
217
218
219
220
When a person is going through hell, and she encounters someone who went through hellish hell and survived, then she can say, ‘Mine is not so bad as all that. She came through, and so can I.’
221
Well I think if you really go out with someone for quite a long time you do get to know each other very, very well, you go through the good times, you go through the bad times. You know both personally, but also within a relationship as well.
222
223
Difficult as it is really to listen to someone in affliction, it is just as difficult for him to know that compassion is listening to him.
224
225
The first thing is to love your sport. Never do it to please someone else. It has to be yours.
226
The thing you can’t measure is someone’s heart, someone’s desire. You can measure a 40, his vertical, his bench press, and that might let you know things like, yeah, he can jump high. But desire, his dedication, his determination, that’s something you can’t measure. That’s something you can’t measure about Rod Smith.
227
Empathy is about standing in someone else’s shoes, feeling with his or her heart, seeing with his or her eyes. Not only is empathy hard to outsource and automate, but it makes the world a better place.
228
Sometimes you just got to give yourself what you wish someone else would give you.
229
230
An elite is someone who’s for themselves and not for the country.
231
232
233
Red is such an interesting color to correlate with emotion, because it’s on both ends of the spectrum. On one end you have happiness, falling in love, infatuation with someone, passion, all that. On the other end, you’ve got obsession, jealousy, danger, fear, anger and frustration.
234
235
236
237
Someone who thinks the world is always cheating him is right. He is missing that wonderful feeling of trust in someone or something.
238
Friends can help each other. A true friend is someone who lets you have total freedom to be yourself – and especially to feel. Or, not feel. Whatever you happen to be feeling at the moment is fine with them. That’s what real love amounts to – letting a person be what he really is.
239
No one really knows what I’m really like, and you won’t unless you spend a day with me, or if you’re my friend. No one ever knows what anyone is really like. Read all the interviews you want on them, it’s just the media talking and you can’t really get to know someone that way, obviously.
240
They say a person needs just three things to be truly happy in this world: someone to love, something to do, and something to hope for.
241
If you don’t know someone who’s had a problem with addiction, you will.
242
There are times when I get really depressed, when I’m going through difficult times and when I want someone to hold my hand. Sometimes I’ll think, ‘Forget it. I want to be this way.’ I often feel that way. But when we started the Love Yourself World Tour, I stopped having those thoughts.
243
244
All I can tell you really is if you get to the point where someone is telling you that you are not great or not good enough, just follow your heart and don’t let anybody crush your dream.
245
246
He played the king as if afraid someone else would play the ace.
247
I’ve always hated criminals and crime. Life is hard enough without someone walking into your life on purpose and making it worse.
248
Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma – which is living with the results of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of others’ opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition.
249
An important part of dating is communicating. We communicate by sharing our thoughts, ideas, and feelings. We enjoy being with someone when we have an easy time communicating or when we have a lot to talk about.
250
251
A hero is someone who has given his or her life to something bigger than oneself.
252
253
254
I’ll never, ever be full. I’ll always be hungry. Obviously, I’m not talking about food. Growing up, I had nothing for such a long time. Someone told me a long time ago, and I’ve never forgotten it, ‘Once you’ve ever been hungry, really, really hungry, then you’ll never, ever be full.’
255
Putting forward your positive energy connects you back to basic human values which we all share. Good Deeds Day shows that no matter the size of the gesture, a smile that brightens someone else’s day or volunteering in your community, we can all take active part in making a difference.
256
257
I just don’t believe in the basic concept that someone should make their whole career in public service.
258
259
260
I’m a standup comedian who can’t drive. I have never learned. I don’t trust my hand-eye coordination. You’re looking at someone who once dropped a cricket ball on to his own head during a routine catching practice; I don’t think it’s a great idea to have me in control of a high-speed metal death robot.
261
One in 200 stars has habitable Earth-like planets surrounding it – in the galaxy, half a billion stars have Earth-like planets going around them – that’s huge, half a billion. So when we look at the night sky, it makes sense that someone is looking back at us.
262
I like someone who embraces life; who wants to be on a long journey but has no particular plan or destination in mind. An adventurous man, open to the concept of living life in the moment.
263
When someone hands you a flyer, it’s like they’re saying here you throw this away.
264
265
How many cares one loses when one decides not to be something but to be someone.
266
It’s human nature to blame someone else for your shortcomings or upsets.
267
268
269
Respect goes a long way when you carry yourself a certain way and show manners when you first meet someone. If you do that, then it’s hard for somebody not to like you.
270
271
I’ve never given my phone number to someone on the street, but when someone is a gentleman, I appreciate the compliments.
272
With every book, you go back to school. You become a student. You become an investigative reporter. You spend a little time learning what it’s like to live in someone else’s shoes.
273
I don’t have much patience for people who are self-conscious about the act of eating, and it irritates me when someone denies themselves the pleasure of a bloody hunk of steak or a pungent French cheese because of some outdated nonsense about what’s appropriate or attractive.
274
275
276
277
We need someone who will stand up and speak up and speak out for the people who need help, for people who are being discriminated against. And it doesn’t matter whether they are black or white, Latino, Asian or Native American, whether they are straight or gay, Muslim, Christian, or Jews.
278
One of the greatest victories you can gain over someone is to beat him at politeness.
279
280
If you’re going to hold someone down you’re going to have to hold on by the other end of the chain. You are confined by your own repression.
281
282
It’s sad when someone you know becomes someone you knew.
283
284
I know what the important things are in life. I know that just because I pretend to be someone else for two hours on the silver screen doesn’t make me a better person than the next man. So, I mind all those things. Simple things.
285
You want to stop playing ‘Fortnite,’ man, because you aren’t having fun anymore? Good. Go watch someone else. Go play another game.
286
I don’t care what gender someone is, or what race they are. Those things don’t matter to me.
287
288
289
I am a recovering narcissist. I thought narcissism was about self-love till someone told me there is a flip side to it. It is actually drearier than self-love; it is unrequited self-love.
290
291
I am not someone like A. B. de Villiers, Gayle, or Dhoni. I don’t have that much power. I have to use my brain to manipulate the field and stick to my strength, which is to hit through the lines.
292
293
294
I’m a massive fragrance fan – I think fragrance is part of someone’s hygiene, and I’m a big believer in leaving an impression through scent.
295
296
297
298
To be offended is a choice we make; it is not a condition inflicted or imposed upon us by someone or something else.
299
I like someone who is a little crazy but coming from a good place. I think scars are sexy because it means you made a mistake that led to a mess.
300
I know how to learn anything I want to learn. I absolutely know that I could learn how to fly the space shuttle because someone else knows how to fly it, and they put it in a book. Give me the book, and I do not need somebody to stand up in front of the class.
301
It’s one thing, holding open the door for someone at a grocery store, or the library, or just about anyplace else. But the doughnut shop is a different thing altogether. This is a get-in-and-out-as-fast-as-you-can operation. There’s no room for courtesy or chivalry here.
302
I’d rather be someone that’s underrated than overrated.
303
There’s a big difference between falling in love with someone and falling in love with someone and getting married. Usually, after you get married, you fall in love with the person even more.
304
305
I never give advice unless someone asks me for it. One thing I’ve learned, and possibly the only advice I have to give, is to not be that person giving out unsolicited advice based on your own personal experience.
306
God’s plan for enlarging His kingdom is so simple – one person telling another about the Savior. Yet we’re busy and full of excuses. Just remember, someone’s eternal destiny is at stake. The joy you’ll have when you meet that person in heaven will far exceed any discomfort you felt in sharing the gospel.
307
To me, a leader is someone who holds her- or himself accountable for finding potential in people and processes. And so what I think is really important is sustainability.
308
Growing up in America, I experienced two puberties. The first opened me up to the possibilities of adulthood. The second reinforced that for someone like me – an immigrant, a minority, an Asian-American – there were limits.
309
310
311
312
313
Sooner or later we’re all someone’s dog.
314
People need realness, reality. People can sense when someone is being pretentious or fake. It’s because you feel it; you see it in someone’s body language.
315
The wagering thing for a lawyer is very interesting. Will there be mobile sports wagering? Will there be mobile prop betting? Conceivably, someone sitting in basketball area placing prop bets on a mobile phone while the individual is 10 feet from the court? Some of the possibilities are angst-producing.
316
I am not someone who is ashamed of my past. I’m actually really proud. I know I made a lot of mistakes, but they, in turn, were my life lessons.
317
318
I’m old enough and cranky enough now that if someone tried to tell me what to do, I’d tell them where to put it.
319
I have learnt one thing in life: that if you love someone, you have to accept that person with his/her flaws.
320
Being human always points, and is directed, to something or someone, other than oneself – be it a meaning to fulfill or another human being to encounter.
321
I’ve known my best friend since I was a baby, and I don’t know what I would do without her. She is always straight with me and can make me laugh hysterically. Everyone should have someone like that in their life.
322
People think that it’s ok to degenerate and disrespect someone just because they’re in the public eye.
323
324
When I have sex with someone I forget who I am. For a minute I even forget I’m human. It’s the same thing when I’m behind a camera. I forget I exist.
325
I like animals, all animals. I wouldn’t hurt a cat or a dog – or a chicken or a cow. And I wouldn’t ask someone else to hurt them for me. That’s why I’m a vegetarian.
326
To love someone means to see him as God intended him.
327
328
Reading is an exercise in empathy; an exercise in walking in someone else’s shoes for a while.
329
Someone needs to tell the truth, but it shouldn’t be my job.
330
331
The taxpayer – that’s someone who works for the federal government but doesn’t have to take the civil service examination.
332
Find out what you like doing best and get someone to pay you for it.
333
334
You can search throughout the entire universe for someone who is more deserving of your love and affection than you are yourself, and that person is not to be found anywhere. You yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe deserve your love and affection.
335
336
337
I do not have much patience with a thing of beauty that must be explained to be understood. If it does need additional interpretation by someone other than the creator, then I question whether it has fulfilled its purpose.
338
Can miles truly separate you from friends… If you want to be with someone you love, aren’t you already there?
339
The pop-star thing bores me because it’s somebody programming someone else. Stand over here, sing that, no, sing it like this, talk like that, when they ask you this, don’t say that, say this, hold that, drive this, stay here, live there – you’re not even a human being. You’re a puppet.
340
341
342
It is easy to criticize me from behind a pen or a microphone, from someone who never set foot on a football field.
343
When you see a person, do you just concentrate on their looks? It’s just a first impression. Then there’s someone who doesn’t catch your eye immediately, but you talk to them and they become the most beautiful thing in the world. The greatest actors aren’t what you would call beautiful sex symbols.
344
345
At one point, I recognized that Warren Buffett, though he had every advantage in learning from Ben Graham, did not copy Ben Graham but, rather, set out on his own path and ran money his way, by his own rules… I also immediately internalized the idea that no school could teach someone how to be a great investor.
346
347
348
Grief is like a moving river, so that’s what I mean by it’s always changing. It’s a strange thing to say because I’m at heart an optimistic person, but I would say in some ways it just gets worse. It’s just that the more time that passes, the more you miss someone.
349
350
351
That’s the beauty of coaching. You get to touch lives, you get to make a difference. You get to do things for people who will never pay you back and they say you never have had a perfect day until you’ve done something for someone who will never pay you back.
352
353
The moment you’ve convinced someone that you truly understand her dreams and feelings, mental and behavioral change becomes possible, and the foundation for a breakthrough has been laid.
354
If you’re talking to a man who wouldn’t fight with you under any circumstances whatsoever, then you’re talking to someone for whom you have absolutely no respect.
355
356
When you love someone and care about them, you want what’s best for them, and it’s always the hardest thing to realize maybe you aren’t what’s best for them, how hard you try.
357
358
359
People don’t care about what someone says about you in a movie – or even what you say, right? They care about what you build. And if you can make something that makes people’s life better, then that’s something that’s really good.
360
My one regret in life is that I am not someone else.
361
I am who I am, and I think I have a good nature, by and large. But if someone takes advantage of that good nature, well then, you know, I’m not that nice a guy.
362
Someone who knows too much finds it hard not to lie.
363
A good attitude is really important. And a sense of optimism, someone who has ideas and isn’t afraid to pitch them no matter what level she is. Someone who is proactive. Someone with efficiency and common sense. They don’t always go hand-in-hand, common sense and, well, everything else.
364
Don’t do anything by half. If you love someone, love them with all your soul. When you go to work, work your ass off. When you hate someone, hate them until it hurts.
365
I have a different vision of leadership. A leadership is someone who brings people together.
366
367
Ultimately, you have to pursue your own path, not someone’s idea of the right path. You need to stay on your path.
368
I will forever be a Bond. It’s a small group of men who’ve made this role. Someone said, More men have walked on the moon than have played James Bond.’
369
I personally believe that if you love someone, and you get your heart broken, and you can learn to love someone else just as deeply as the first, then that is the greatest lesson we can learn on this planet.
370
Empathy is really the opposite of spiritual meanness. It’s the capacity to understand that every war is both won and lost. And that someone else’s pain is as meaningful as your own.
371
Every time somebody speaks of my honesty, there is someone who quivers inside me.
372
To love someone is to see a miracle invisible to others.
373
374
375
Play a jungle record from 1993 to someone in 1989 and it would have sounded like something so new that it would have challenged them to rethink what music was, or could be.
376
My definition of an intellectual is someone who can listen to the William Tell Overture without thinking of the Lone Ranger.
377
If I asked for a cup of coffee, someone would search for the double meaning.
378
379
380
A true friend is someone who is always there during the ups and downs, I actually have a song called ‘True Friend’.
381
382
If someone doesn’t respond to a phone call, I think they’ve died.
383
Don’t hope someone gives you an opportunity: create one for yourself.
384
385
386
387
If there’s any message to my work, it is ultimately that it’s OK to be different, that it’s good to be different, that we should question ourselves before we pass judgment on someone who looks different, behaves different, talks different, is a different color.
388
Good listeners have a huge advantage. For one, when they engage in conversation, they make people ‘feel’ heard. They ‘feel’ that someone really understands their wants, needs and desires. And for good reason; a good listener does care to understand.
389
After every war someone has to tidy up.
390
391
392
393
394
Someone who just has a really good heart – it’s so attractive: someone who makes you feel beautiful and encourages you – makes you better.
395
I used to believe that love was finding someone who would lead you through the deep water.
396
My attitude is, if someone’s going to criticize me, tell me to my face.
397
You can’t just slander someone, defame them, lie about them. You can’t incite people to crime. There’s all sorts of reasonable restrictions on free speech that are already codified in the British common-law system.
398
Sometimes, magic is just someone spending more time on something than anyone else might reasonably expect.
399
400
401
A good upbringing means not that you won’t spill sauce on the tablecloth, but that you won’t notice it when someone else does.
402
The true measure of a man is how he treats someone who can do him absolutely no good.
403
To insult someone we call him ‘bestial. For deliberate cruelty and nature, ‘human’ might be the greater insult.
404
You don’t have to be an angel, just be someone who can give.
405
I’m not one to take revenge. If someone does something wrong to me I leave it in the hands of the universe to take care of that person.
406
Most of us don’t invent ideas. We take the best ideas from someone else.
407
408
409
410
411
I’m a real extrovert, but when I’m round someone new, I’m super shy.
412
We don’t want to wait on someone to hire us and give us a check. We want to create our own opportunities.
413
414
To be a leader, you have to make people want to follow you, and nobody wants to follow someone who doesn’t know where he is going.
415
I just want to be there for my husband. I don’t ever want him to think that he’s not getting everything at home – love, attention, encouragement, a meal. I just want him to feel the best he feels at home. I think that’s what a good wife is. Someone who is very attentive to her husband.
416
Abortion and racism are both symptoms of a fundamental human error. The error is thinking that when someone stands in the way of our wants, we can justify getting that person out of our lives. Abortion and racism stem from the same poisonous root, selfishness.
417
If you’re going to tear down a hero, you should never forget that you’re tearing down someone else’s hero. You’re tearing down somebody else’s son. You might have to face her one day.
418
419
420
421
422
My definition of country music is really pretty simple. It’s when someone sings about their life and what they know, from an authentic place.
423
424
When you are not practicing, remember somewhere someone is practicing, and when you meet him, he will win.
425
I built my talents on the shoulders of someone else’s talent.
426
427
428
I have friends who don’t even know I’m diabetic. I don’t hide it, but it’s the last thing I need to tell someone. I take my insulin with every meal and have kidney drugs twice a day, but that is, like, habit. That’s how I deal with it.
429
When you’re drowning, you don’t say ‘I would be incredibly pleased if someone would have the foresight to notice me drowning and come and help me,’ you just scream.
430
An expert is someone who has succeeded in making decisions and judgements simpler through knowing what to pay attention to and what to ignore.
431
432
It’s all fun and games ’till someone loses an eye, then it’s just fun you can’t see.
433
434
I like girls who are self-deprecating. I like girls who make fun of themselves. If you can’t poke fun at yourself, what are you? I just want someone with a good soul. That’s about it. The rest I’m really flexible on.
435
I want someone who can make me laugh and just be normal and understand my lifestyle and how I wanna live it.
436
437
You women could make someone fall in love even with a lie.
438
And who knows? Somewhere out there in this audience may even be someone who will one day follow my footsteps, and preside over the White House as the president‘s spouse. I wish him well!
439
440
441
I know I might sound a little bit picky, but someone like a muse who can inspire me is my ideal type.
442
443
I look at the Samurai because they were the artists of their time. What I think struck me when I read Bushido is compassion. ‘If there’s no one there to help, go out and find someone to help.’ That hit me, because I try to lead my life like that.
444
I would tell anyone who wants something from someone else to feign not wanting it. People are perverse. If you show great affection to them, they’ll run the other way.
445
446
It is hard to read a newspaper or watch a television newscast without encountering someone who has come up with a new ‘solution’ to society’s ‘problems.’
447
You never know what’s going to happen in your life, and you never know what’s going to happen in someone else’s life either.
448
Our faith is faith in someone else’s faith, and in the greatest matters this is most the case.
449
Make a difference today for someone who’s fighting for their tomorrow.
450
There is nothing heavier than compassion. Not even one’s own pain weighs so heavy as the pain one feels for someone, for someone, pain intensified by the imagination and prolonged by a hundred echos.
451
452
You can’t please everyone. There’s always going to be someone disappointed, so you might as well make yourself happy and Be You.
453
I love that idea that if you know someone’s story, it’s impossible not to love them. This is potentially hokey but incredibly true, as far as I’m concerned.
454
If there are nine guys auditioning and they’re all gorgeous, I have an advantage, because gorgeous guys are a dime a dozen. But if they need someone else – like a goofy guy with bad hair who is just okay – then that’s me. And finally, the other 2 percent who audition are geniuses that I could never touch.
455
You have to be someone.
456
457
Our chief want is someone who will inspire us to be what we know we could be.
458
Electric communication will never be a substitute for the face of someone who with their soul encourages another person to be brave and true.
459
My father, Dennis Popham, was a very handsome, talented artist, and as my mother always reminds me, ‘someone who had wonderful style.’ He was half Samoan-German, half New Zealander, and their first date was to a Fleetwood Mac concert, which I love the thought of.
460
461
Leadership is getting someone to do what they don’t want to do, to achieve what they want to achieve.
462
463
464
465
When you meet someone who gives you good advice for your own, you must have the humility to listen.
466
467
468
When you love someone, and you’ve lost that one, then nothing really matters.
469
470
471
Next time I tell you someone from Texas should not be president of the United States, please pay attention.
472
I pefer an ugly truth to a pretty lie. If someone is telling me the truth that is when I will give my heart.
473
I don’t wish to be everything to everyone, but I would like to be something to someone.
474
A professor is someone who talks in someone else’s sleep.
475
476
Leadership is the art of getting someone else to do something you want done because he wants to do it.
477
‘Be in’ is all about passion. Life is short. There are so many interesting things we can do in our life, and I feel like if someone is just kind of showing up, it’s not worth it for them or for us.
478
Let me alone, and go in search of someone else.
479
I’ve always been really curious about things and slightly confused by the world, and I think someone who feels that way is in a good position to be the one asking questions.
480
So many people prefer to live in drama because it’s comfortable. It’s like someone staying in a bad marriage or relationship – it’s actually easier to stay because they know what to expect every day, versus leaving and not knowing what to expect.
481
True beauty is when someone radiates that they like themselves.
482
483
A true friend is someone who is there for you when he’d rather be anywhere else.
484
I’d rather lose my own money than someone else’s.
485
486
When you have to go away from someone you love or vice-versa, whatever the reason, it really shatters your life.
487
488
A liberal is a person who believes that water can be made to run uphill. A conservative is someone who believes everybody should pay for his water. I’m somewhere in between: I believe water should be free, but that water flows downhill.
489
490
A conservative is someone who makes no changes and consults his grandmother when in doubt.
491
I never understood why anyone would do magazines. Like, why would someone put their face out there so much? It’s because those people reading magazines will go see the movie, so you do it.
492
Is someone different at age 18 or 60? I believe one stays the same.
493
494
495
Don’t ever break someone’s trust. Once you do, then nobody wants to do business with you.
496
When you massage someone, the levels of oxytocin go up in the brain, and oxytocin is one of the chemicals that drives attachment.
497
There’s too much darkness in the world. Everywhere you turn, someone is tryin’ to tear someone down in some way; everywhere you go, there’s a feeling of inadequacy, or a feeling that you’re not good enough. I want to bring a certain light to the world.
498
499
All of a sudden, someone threw me in front of this rock and roll band. And I decided then and there that was it. I never wanted to do anything else.
500
As someone who’s run for office five times, if the Devil called me and said he wanted to set up a meeting to give me opposition research on my opponent, I’d be on the first trolley to Hell to get it. And any politician who tells you otherwise is a bald-faced liar.
501
I don’t have the time to think about what someone else thinks of me because I’m busy making films.
502
503
Beauty is only skin deep. If you go after someone just because she’s beautiful but don’t have anything to talk about, it’s going to get boring fast. You want to look beyond the surface and see if you can have fun or if you have anything in common with this person.
504
505
506
We write for the same reason that we walk, talk, climb mountains or swim the oceans – because we can. We have some impulse within us that makes us want to explain ourselves to other human beings. That’s why we paint, that’s why we dare to love someone – because we have the impulse to explain who we are.
507
A champion is someone who gets up when he can’t.
508
The essence of conversation is not which media format we choose to talk to each other with, so we don’t differentiate between snaps and chats. It’s just someone wanting to talk to you.
509
You just have to find your activism, and don’t let anyone tell you what that should look like. If you’re doing the work, and you’re getting someone to think, you’re on the right path.
510
Conscience is the inner voice that warns us that someone might be looking.
511
512
513
Everyone wants to be appreciated, so if you appreciate someone, don’t keep it a secret.
514
When you spend a lot of time, like I do, just standing around and waiting, or being moved from place to place, every minute gets consumed by something someone else has set up for you. And it’s not like I’m always in a beautiful place wearing something gorgeous.
515
A mentor is someone with a willingness to help others, who has a capacity to inspire, a determination to work hard, a clear sense of vision, an inspiring purpose, a deep sense of integrity and an appreciation for joy.
516
517
It doesn’t matter if we grow old and get replaced by a new younger generation as long as there is still someone talking about us because they will still remember how we shone so bright.
518
If someone says something hurtful to you or makes you feel down on yourself, then you just gotta stay positive and keep moving forward because they might not know much about you, or they may not understand the situation.
519
Night comes to the desert all at once, as if someone turned off the light.
520
Hold up a mirror and ask yourself what you are capable of doing, and what you really care about. Then take the initiative – don’t wait for someone else to ask you to act.
521
You can’t hire someone to practice for you.
522
I feel like it’s important for me to expand, to create my own label. With a label, I can just give someone the opportunity that I was given, you know? That’s what it’s all about, just helping.
523
524
Nothing is so embarrassing as watching someone do something that you said couldn’t be done.
525
I just want to be master of my own time. It is ironic that someone in the watch business should not be in control of his time.
526
One of the worst things you can give to your people is someone you’re not.
527
My biggest fear is death because I don’t think I’m going anywhere. And since I don’t think that, and I don’t have a belief… I’m married to someone who has the belief, so she knows she’s going somewhere.
528
529
530
You learn a lot about someone when you share a meal together.
531
Becoming a dad means you have to be a role model for your son and be someone he can look up to.
532
I have no problem if someone wants to hug me – if I know him!
533
I am someone who always gets up again, even if there are setbacks. I have a survivor instinct. I’m not sure where it comes from, but probably from all the little things that make you into who you are.
534
I have no illusions at all about being a sex symbol. None of my former girlfriends ever thought of me that way, and I don’t have any packs of women chasing me down the street like a Brad Pitt or someone like that.
535
536
It’s never nice to lose someone close to you; unfortunately, life goes on, and we have to make peace with it and move on.
537
I’m lucky enough to be with someone, and I am happy.
538
Music is a part of someone’s soul. Music is a feeling for me. And if that soul is evil, then I don’t want anything to do with it.
539
Never interrupt someone doing what you said couldn’t be done.
540
541
I don’t think it is important to be a role model, because if you are a role model, you are pretending to be someone else.
542
The simplest and most psychologically satisfying explanation of any observed phenomenon is that it happened that way because someone wanted it to happen that way.
543
I struggle with insecurities. I struggle with forgiveness. I struggle with letting someone go that did me dirty without vengeance, which is an evil thing.
544
545
If someone is going down the wrong road, he doesn’t need motivation to speed him up. What he needs is education to turn him around.
546
You can only hate someone whom you have the capacity to love, because if you are really indifferent, you cannot even get up the enough energy to hate him.
547
548
Someone else is going to read for me or go at my place to the mosque, and/or to tell me you shouldn’t take anything from the West because the West is the enemy and so on. It is to me to decide. I am intelligent enough to be critical towards the West and take what I need and reject what is bad for me.
549
The advice I would give to someone is to not take anyone’s advice.
550
The art of acceptance is the art of making someone who has just done you a small favor wish that he might have done you a greater one.
551
In almost every profession – whether it’s law or journalism, finance or medicine or academia or running a small business – people rely on confidential communications to do their jobs. We count on the space of trust that confidentiality provides. When someone breaches that trust, we are all worse off for it.
552
My goal in life is to enjoy what I do, and never to look back and say I wish I would have done that, and to go to UCLA, and to become someone great in life!
553
554
555
Leaders know the importance of having someone in their lives who will unfailingly and fearlessly tell them the truth.
556
Changing someone else’s life positively changes yours for the better as well.
557
There’s always someone following your next step.
558
If you love someone truly, just look into her eyes. You will find your soul in her.
559
It took me a long time not to judge myself through someone else’s eyes.
560
561
If you want to go somewhere, it is best to find someone who has already been there.
562
The Trevor Project provides crisis-intervention and suicide-prevention services to lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and questioning teens and young adults. It’s truly a lifeline to so many young people who just need someone to listen to them.
563
564
One of my great regrets, and I don’t have many, is that I spent too long putting people’s status and reputation ahead of their more important qualities. I learned far too late in life that a long list of letters after someone’s name is no guarantee of compassion, kindness, humour, all the far more relevant stuff.
565
I’m not someone who feels settled.
