Ambition. An overmastering desire to be vilified by enemies while living and made ridiculous by friends when dead.
We weren't wealthy but we definitely weren't poor. We were incredibly rich because there was a wonderful community in Shepherd's Bush, where I grew up. All my friends were into villainy and crime.
Do not have evil-doers for friends, do not have low people for friends: have virtuous people for friends, have for friends the best of men.
My family is very good about visiting me, and other friends as well.
I love visiting my friends because it makes me feel normal.
The friends I knew who tutored were well paid for work that seemed far less grueling than waitressing or late-night newspaper copy editing or all the other side gigs I attempted in my early twenties.
I did a few DJ gigs at empty clubs, sort of as a warm-up set before Flume was a thing. I did one when I got big enough, and I had five friends come down, and they were the only ones dancing. That was one of my earliest ones. I was super nervous.
It's awkward going back up to Edinburgh to see my old friends, because I'm not on the same wavelength.
I have weathered many different storms and I know who I am and my friends know who I really am.
Prosperity is no just scale; adversity is the only balance to weigh friends.
Steve Martin is one of the most intelligent, well-read human beings that I've ever come across. He is equally as funny off screen as he is on. But he also has a very intellectual side, and he's a really nice human being. We actually become good friends.
I have three favorite cities: London, Wellington, and Los Angeles. What makes them so good? The friends who live there.
All my friends are Welsh, I speak Welsh, and I feel very Welsh.
WhatsApp I adore. I use it all the time with my friends.
As virtuous men pass mildly away, and whisper to their souls to go, whilst some of their sad friends do say, the breath goes now, and some say no.
I think my friends would say I'm pretty goal-focused but whimsical.
I'm so hard on myself. I play these sketches in my computer for friends and they say 'Gee whiz, the vocal's beautiful.' I hear, 'It needs to be better.'
I got my first guitar when I was 16. I'd play for my family and friends, but taking that guitar out there into the wide, wide world wasn't something I ever thought about.
My father was the president of the Hearst Corporation, and my parents were close friends of the Duke and Duchess of Windsor, and they all had pugs.
I had so many friends over the years - so many, out of the woodwork, telling me, 'When are you coming back to TV?'
