The meeting of two personalities is like the contact of two chemical substances: if there is any reaction, both are transformed.
Every politician, every president gets votes by getting people that don't like him to like him. That's why politicians are slippery: because they talk out of both sides of their mouth.
I tell people I live in Atlanta. Georgia's outside of Atlanta, absolutely. But my family's from the very rural south. My family's from Tuskegee, Alabama. And they're from Eatonton, Georgia. Places like Greenwood, Georgia, my family is from... so I've seen it both ways.
If I ever did cross over I would like to do it tactfully. I don't want to offend anyone in country. Can you have the best of both worlds? I sure like the idea of it!
As a kid growing up, I was never like, 'I want to go to the Olympics,' so having to pass on 2012 because I was too young didn't bother me at all.
Athletes don't like to get up early, but it never bothered me.
It has bothered me all my life that I do not paint like everybody else.
I like semi-torn-down places where I could get nestled in and get something done without anyone bothering me.
People have the right to call themselves whatever they like. That doesn't bother me. It's other people doing the calling that bothers me.
I had Botox and I hated it. For four long months, I looked like a different person.
I don't care what I look like. I must be comfortable. Some of my friends have plastic surgery and Botox, but I'm not interested in it.
I'll take my wrinkles. I don't like the Botox thing.
Meeting Franklin Roosevelt was like opening your first bottle of champagne; knowing him was like drinking it.
I like to keep a bottle of stimulant handy in case I see a snake, which I also keep handy.
I've definitely had my share of calls where I just laugh. Someone came to me once and wanted to do a signature Hawk cologne. I was like, 'Of what? Sweaty pads? Am I wringing out my pads into a little perfume bottle?'
The bottom line in the Christian life is obedience and most people don't even like the word.
If I need to steal from a difficult spot, I like to use a 'bottom-up' attention strategy to direct the focus.
When kindness has left people, even for a few moments, we become afraid of them as if their reason had left them. When it has left a place where we have always found it, it is like shipwreck; we drop from security into something malevolent and bottomless.
To analyze Trump is to discover only bottomless appetite and need, and to carve at him is like carving at an online troll: The only thing to discover is the void.
My mama never wore a pair of pants when I was growing up, and now that's all she wears. It was so funny for me when I first started seeing Mama wear pants. It was like it wasn't Mama. Now I've bought her many a pantsuit because she just lives in them.
