The writer should never be ashamed of staring. There is nothing that does not require his attention.
My parents have ensured that we never develop starry airs.
I was a huge fan of the original 'Star Trek,' and I'd never even dreamed that I would someday be captain of a starship.
Possibly because I did start off as a journalist, my starting point has always been that you've got to keep an audience with you. Whatever you're doing, you always want a script to be a page-turner. It's very important never, ever, to feel above that.
I was never concretely aware of the extent of anti-Semitism in the United States and in the upper levels of the State Department.
When I was in the state legislature, we asked for different examples of voter fraud, and the Republicans could never produce any sort of in-person voter fraud examples.
At the state level, we must take a careful look at what went wrong and make sure it never happens again. The buck stops here, and as your governor, I take full responsibility.
Love is never stationary.
I never wanted to be a statistic. I never wanted to be that cat who tried and never made it.
We must accept life for what it actually is - a challenge to our quality without which we should never know of what stuff we are made, or grow to our full stature.
I earn - I'm not - I don't want to claim I'm a scholar of great stature, but I have made a certain reputation for myself, I've published several books, I've never been able to get a permanent teaching job.
I exercise to stay strong, healthy, and stage-ready. I never prepare for a red carpet - I just go with the flow.
I've never looked at myself and said that I need to be a certain way to be around a certain sort of people. I've always wanted to stay true to myself, and I've managed to do that. People have to accept that.
I want to evolve each season. I never want to be one of those brands where people know what they're going to see. I always want an element of surprise. One thing I never want to do is copy what anybody else is doing. I have a signature, and it's very important to me to stay true to that.
I never subscribe to the stay-at-home policy. I'm not sick of the road or sick of eating in good restaurants around the country. I like to travel.
One always hopes that you're going to have influence and staying power, but you never know.
Since 2005, I have been on a steadfast journey inward as a self-proclaimed Spirit Junkie. And I've never looked back.
I'm a guy who never wanted to hold a steady job, because I was worried about the monotony.
Actors need steely determination. It's a tough profession with plenty of knocks along the way. You have to be very determined and never take 'no' for an answer.
I've never felt that I was doing anything more worthwhile musically than when I was with Steely Dan.
