My stand-up is quite good now, people say. It's just like a big conversation each time. Every gig is a rehearsal.
We had to do a lot of rehearsals to get it so that it was playable. What it did was make you practice. That's good for any musician to have that kind of pressure. It brings things out of you that might not come out if you don't have to reach for something all the time.
What I enjoy most with acting is when it's a good scene with one or two other actors, and you feel a strong connection, and you don't know how you're going to respond, and everybody is listening to each other and getting affected by each other, and even though you've rehearsed it many times, it feels like it's happening right now.
I have too much product, and I'm trying to rein it in and sell more of my main collection. I wish you didn't have to design so often; it would be good if you could keep on selling the same things for a few years and not have to do new things all the time.
My mother made me believe in reincarnation, in karma. If I live a good life, I believe I will be reincarnated as a higher being. If I live a bad life, I believe I will be reincarnated as a lower being.
The most heinous shift in American films is that they reinforce good things like 'couples' and 'relationships.'
I want to prove to people that every single business can be reinvented and fixed. And I want to prove to myself that I'm good at it.
My mom would say Iβm a good kidβ¦ but I put them through a lot. I was rejecting religion and, not permanently, also kind of rejecting the things that theyβd taught me, and just trying to think for myself.
Rejoicing in the good fortune of others is a practice that can help us when we feel emotionally shut down and unable to connect with others. Rejoicing generates good will.
When language is treated beautifully and interestingly, it can feel good for the body: It's nourishing; it's rejuvenating.
As the nation watches, Democrats and Republicans should reflect the interspersed character of America itself. Perhaps, by sitting with each other for one night, we will begin to rekindle that common spark that brought us here from 50 different states and widely diverging backgrounds to serve the public good.
I know someone young whose husband left her for another woman. He later came back and wanted to rekindle the relationship. It was too late. His ex-wife had found someone else. Good for her.
Every relapse is dangerous, but often it takes multiple relapses before someone finally gets sober for good.
Right now, we don't have a very good relation with creation.
I'm just a purist. What is important in my life is that I can do something that can influence many people and influence China's development. When I am myself, I am relaxed and happy and have a good result.
I'm just not one of those naturally funny, relaxed actors who enjoy the spotlight and are so good at it.
There really was nothing like it at the time. We had good ideas for implementation, so we proceeded. I think it was an excellent solution to the reliability issues with existing search engines.
Positive social emotions like compassion and empathy are generally good for us, and we want to encourage them. But do we know how to most reliably raise children to care about the suffering of other people? I'm not sure we do.
There's no good reason that reliably liberal states should be electing senators as friendly to Wall Street as Cory Booker.
Obama just came swiftly out of nowhere, which was a relief to those of us who care about the Republic, and at first he seemed a very good thing.
