In Britain I'm sometimes regarded as a suspiciously Europeanized writer, who has this rather dubious French influence.
Sometimes in politics one must duel with skunks, but no one should be fool enough to allow skunks to choose the weapons.
Sometimes the times were dark and the outlook was lonesome, but where there is a will, there is a way. I pitched in and dug at my work until now I am where I am.
Sometimes, when you don't have spark, someone in the dugout has to create something.
I've always said I can't tell sometimes that people even have an album out until I see them nominated for a Grammy. I think country gets dumped on across the board by the Grammys.
That's the thing I'm worst at: resting. I have to be forced to do it. Sometimes I think of loopholes. 'Oh, I'm just going for a walk, up a dune that's 45 degrees, but I'm walking, so it's not a workout.'
I have done films only for the sake of money and sometimes, I have been duped into believing that the film is a sensible project.
Operas elucidate, in a way sometimes absent in other theatrical productions, the very human fact that in every hero, there is a thread of duplicity. In every villain, there is another side to consider: We don't have to like him or her, but we are compelled to think about motivation.
Fortune pays you sometimes for the intensity of her favors by the shortness of their duration. She soon tires of carrying any one long on her shoulders.
Sometimes that Dutch consensus approach doesn't move you forward fast enough.
Sometimes you just can't walk away from films you're offered, like the Dylan Thomas thing.
I never try and do the same show, ever. The audience controls the dynamic of the shows. Sometimes they listen, and sometimes they ask a million questions.
My eagerness to please sometimes gets the better of me.
Sometimes the early bird gets the worm, but sometimes the early bird gets frozen to death.
Some of our early work was two minutes twenty when it actually came out on vinyl, very, very, very short. Sometimes if you made a three-minute record they would make you do an edited version for radio, particularly in America.
I sometimes think my earnestness is confused for stupidity, but it shouldn't be.
The generosity of the super-rich is sometimes proffered as evidence they're contributing as much to the nation's well-being as they did decades ago when they paid a much larger share of their earnings in taxes.
I do like having my ears pierced, because there's a lot more choice in pierced earrings than there is with clip-ons, and they're a lot more comfortable to wear - Sometimes I completely forget I've got them in and end up going to sleep wearing them.
There are ways to win fights, and sometimes you don't always choose the easiest way to win a fight.
Sometimes I feel that old desire. Then my body tells me it is 50 years old. I take the easy way instead.
