I got Type 1 diabetes at 30. It hit me in 1982 when I was a White House Fellow in Washington. I had viral pneumonia. I lost 35 pounds in six weeks. And I couldn't see anything. Everything was blurry. I was always thirsty.
I always had to diet. I'm diabetic, so it's a lifestyle for me anyway just to stay healthy and not end up in the hospital.
A diabetic always wants to help another diabetic.
All my life, I've been a type 1 diabetic. I've always taken life day by day.
As a touring musician over the last 15 years, before streaming and iPods, you had to listen to terrestrial radio wherever you were. That's always been my way of connecting to a location. Turn on the radio, search through the dial.
Quite frankly, I've always listened to the black side of the radio dial. Where I grew up, there was a lot of it and there was a lot of live music around.
I've always been very in tune to my voice and to other people's voices and how they express themselves vocally. And I always loved accents and dialects - I collected them like stamps.
I've always been able to recount things, and I have a really good memory about dialog and what people have said before and this and that.
Good first drafts and speedy responses to consumer dialog will always trump lawyered corporate speak.
I always wanted to make big action movies as a kid, and that was my dream. In a way, 'Swingers' was the thing I suffered through the most doing because of all that dialog, so I could eventually be allowed to do a big dumb action movie, honestly.
I have always viewed my role as a sort of ambassador or bridge between groups to help provide a dialog.
I've always been a follower of silent movies. I see film as a visual medium with a musical accompaniment, and dialogue is a raft that goes on with it.
When you see a movie, they always put the Latino on the bad side or in a tacky way. It's not like that. Latinos are shining like a diamond.
I always loved James Brown, Diana Ross, Aretha Franklin, Sam Cooke.
We always reminisce about how everyone tried to get Diane Lane's attention, to very little success.
Though my father was Norwegian, he always wrote his diaries in perfect English.
I never travel without my diary. One should always have something sensational to read in the train.
I always say, keep a diary and someday it'll keep you.
I always had music growing up, but music was also like a journal. It was like my personal diary or personal journal. A lot of the things I couldn't express to an individual, I would express them in my music.
I always kept a diary - not a diary like, 'Dear Diary, we got up at 5 A.M., and I wore the weird hair again and that white dress! Hi-yeee!' I'd just write.
