No doubt one can, in light of further study and life experience, come to repudiate past convictions.
In the past, I've tried to show the human side of people involved in stigmatised or misunderstood lifestyles. I've tried to resist easy judgments and not pander to prejudices.
One of my favorite activities when I was a teenager was going riding on the back of a horse with a friend of mine. Because we were rather high up, I could see into peoples' lighted windows as we trotted past. Questions would rise up inside: Who lives there? Are they happy? What are they doing? Any dogs or cats in sight?
Country music is always changing but the Opry is always there to serve as a lighthouse for what country music really is. The past, present and future is all encompassed by not only the physical structure of the building but also the radio show.
Past performance speaks a tremendous amount about one's ability and likelihood for success.
Christianity doesn't demand that we worship our ancestors. If we don't remember our ancestors, then, in all likelihood, we cannot also recall the distant past.
Drop the last year into the silent limbo of the past. Let it go, for it was imperfect, and thank God that it can go.
It is our interpretation of the past, our limiting beliefs, and our undigested pain that stop us from being able to move forward with clear direction.
Unlike some, I don't claim to hold the mystic key to the future. But judging from past events, it seems to me that those who want to prophesy the imminent end of America's unique global role have a harder case to make than those who think we will limp on for a while, making a mess of things as usual.
If you were to do a line-up of past suitors, it's definitely a very eclectic group, is all I'll say.
A lot of the films I've done have links to other movies that I've directed in the past.
I was this guy who'd been racing around down there, on that field in 1999, running straight over people, scoring tries, winning games, having fun. And I ended up so sick I couldn't even run past a little baby.
There is no life for girls in team sports past Little League. I got into tennis when I realized this, and because I thought golf would be too slow for me, and I was too scared to swim.
I definitely like the oddballs. There's a song called 'Little Thing,' which is the only song that I have recorded that has no words. And it's the one that I get past my critic inside me.
I did a lot of great things in the past, but I live for today and for the future.
I'm energized by this idea that's live television. In the same way as an athlete when they get on the field or on the court, you have to perform in that moment or it's past you and you've missed.
You have pundits and fans from other teams who will say loads of things and it goes past me. That's life.
I was at sea the other day and loads of meat floated past. It was a bit choppy.
Living the past is a dull and lonely business; looking back strains the neck muscles, causing you to bump into people not going your way.
I've got a long list of books I wish I'd never written-and I've kept them all out of print for the past 20 years.
