At the end of my life, is it better to say that I empowered people to make great stuff, or that I died with a net worth of $10 billion? Obviously I'm picking the former, although I would not mind both.
Those 62 million girls who are not being educated around the world impact my life in Washington, D.C., in the United States of America. Because if we aren't empowering and providing the skills and the resources to half of our population, then we're not realizing our full potential as a society, as mankind.
I got real important relationships in my life that are very empowering relationships.
If I look at my old lyrics, they seem to be full of rage, but empty. There was an emptiness in my life.
The regular things in my life now - training sessions and playing matches - will all fall away. That will leave a big empty space and it will need to be filled.
I just have been so surprised and delighted with what has happened with 'Hamilton.' It really has been one of the most enchanting experiences of my life.
I don't walk off and come back for encores. I figure I can add four weeks to my life that way.
Music is probably the only real magic I have encountered in my life. There's not some trick involved with it. It's pure and it's real. It moves, it heals, it communicates and does all these incredible things.
I feel like I've known Hunter S. Thompson for most of my life. I first encountered him in 1981, when I was 12.
All my life, I've had a fear of being told what to say, so I'm not telling people what to think. I'm encouraging them to say what they think.
It was definitely some tough moments throughout my life, but I kind of stayed focused and came through the other end of the tunnel.
All through my life what I've loved doing is watching movies. I love the escapism of film, I love stories. So it is incredible to be able to be in them as much as I am, to see them from the first stitch in a costume to the end product.
If my films fail, I will work on something else; my life will not end. And the film is not the end-all of my life.
I sometimes wish I were suffering in a good cause, or risking my life for the good of others, instead of just being a gravely endangered patient.
I am endlessly busy, bringing up five young kids, and trying to keep up with the three older ones. I still spend most of my life driving car pools.
I have had so much at heart. Defeated, not conquered; disappointed, not discouraged. I have but to be more energetic and more faithful in the difficult and painful vocation to which my life is devoted.
I am happy to say that everyone that I have met in my life, I have gained something from them; be it negative or positive, it has enforced and reinforced my life in some aspect.
I have, I must admit, despised the English countryside for much of my life - despised it and avoided it for its want of danger and adventure.
I have never thought of my life as being an enigma.
Being able to take control of my life again, take control of what I'm eating and my fitness is enlightening and empowering.
