For me, it's always about the work and the stories I'm telling and the slices of life I feel should be illuminated.
We misjudge risk if we feel we have some control over it, even if it's an illusory sense of control.
Although the events we appear to perceive in dreams are illusory, our feelings in response to dream content are real. Indeed, most of the events we experience in dreams are real; when we experience feelings, say, anxiety or ecstasy, in dreams, we really do feel anxious or ecstatic at the time.
As a theoretical physicist, I feel at once proud and humble at the thought of the illustrious figures that have preceded me here to receive the greatest of all honors in science, the Nobel prize.
For me, honestly, the term 'role model' means for someone to be imitated, and I don't feel like anyone is to be imitated.
The best form of flattery is to be admired, imitated or respected. I've always felt proud our fans look up to us or feel we are inspirational.
I feel like life imitates art, or art imitates life. I always take on roles that I'm passionate about.
Art imitates life. It's definitely helpful to feel that way. You feel that way when you're leading a show and you're on a set.
We were a savage little lot, Liverpool kids, not pacifist or vegetarian or anything. But I feel I've gone beyond that, and that it was immature to be so prejudiced and believe in all the stereotypes.

Probably the only place where a man can feel really secure is in a maximum security prison, except for the imminent threat of release.

I actually thrive on all the challenges, and I don't feel like ADD has impaired my ability.
I am a teacher born and bred, and I believe in the advocacy of teachers. It's a calling. We want our students to feel impassioned and empowered.
I always feel that I am writing for somebody who is bright but impatient. Someone who doesn't have unlimited time. That is my sense of the reader. So I have got to get to the point.
The point really is that a writer tends to write a book that he or she tends to write. It's as simple as that. Of course, it's important to make a living and all that, but the main impulse as far as I'm concerned - and I'm sure as other writers are concerned - is to tell a story that I feel impelled by.
