I never had a role model. I ended up wanting to be the best version of myself.
A lot of shows, things will just simmer and simmer and maybe never explode into the open, or only risk exploding into the open when it's clear that the series has gotten to its endgame. So I'm always impressed - but not surprised - when 'Scandal' just completely goes for it.
True love stories never have endings.
I'm a comedian, and my comedy has never endorsed violence towards gays.
I have never endorsed Roy Moore. Just the fact that he was forced off the state supreme court is enough for me.
I believe a true Hindu in India could never have endorsed the killing of the Mahatma.
I did say that in-group, authority and purity are necessary for the maintenance of order, but I would never give them a blanket endorsement.
That Man indeed can never be good at heart, who is full of himself and his own Endowments.
I'm like the man who is always supposed to fight, but never ends up fighting. He just spends money.
We didn't rehearse or play the songs to death before we recorded them, and that let us catch a freshness and energy level we've never really felt while making records.
In the history of America, we've never had an energy plan. We don't even realize the resources we have available to us.
I'm an advocate for a full spectrum of energy policy, but we're never going to get there with solar cells that are going to power this country.
Rules must be established and enforced, and, as numbers are increased in prisons, the necessity for vigilance increases. These rules, let it be understood, may be kindly while firmly enforced. I would never suffer any exhibition of ill-temper or an arbitrary exercise of authority.
What I have never been afraid of is to be a little silly, and you can engage people that way. My view is, first you get them to laugh, then you get them to listen.
The battle for freedom and liberty really never is over, and there are really low points in it, but I'm not giving up, and I'm not gonna engage in phony pep talks, either.
Inspirations never go in for long engagements; they demand immediate marriage to action.
I think our capacity for wholeheartedness can never be greater than our willingness to be broken-hearted. It means engaging with the world from a place of vulnerability and worthiness.
I would never talk just to be social. Now, to sit down with a bunch of engineers and talk about the latest concrete forming systems, that's really interesting. Talking with animal behaviorists or with someone who likes to sail, that's interesting. Information is interesting to me. But talking for the sake of talking, I find that quite boring.
I never got any training in how to write novels as an English major at Oberlin, but I got some great training for writing novels from anthropology and from Margaret Mead.
I was an English major at Brown. I never enjoyed history classes.
