There was a time in my life I wanted that Olympic medal, and all I did was train, train, train and work harder than ever.
I didn't think I would have an Olympic medal at 21, but I knew I would give my best and play my game. I just viewed it as my first Olympics and that I would take it one match at a time, but to bring a silver home made me very, very happy.
The License Raj in India was a time when, to set up an industry, you needed a license. Which made the government an omnipresent and sort of all-pervasive authority.
The media in the States can be quite self-reflective. When I lived in England, I was much more aware of the day-to-day politics that were happening. Living somewhere where the media involvement is greater and so omnipresent, you become pulled into it and, at the same time, because of that, politics changes and the way it's handled changes.
Knowledge born of the finest discrimination takes us to the farthest shore. It is intuitive, omniscient, and beyond all divisions of time and space.
I used to not even be able to order pizza on the phone because I was just so shy. I think that's why so much comes out on-screen: because that's my time to let go in a safe place. When you're doing that, it's all written down on paper, and it's total fiction.
If you go out once a week, they can blast on you that you're always out all the time, but I always put work first, and people sometimes don't see the side of going into the weight room, behind-the-scenes-type stuff with football.
People with mental health problems are almost never dangerous. In fact, they are more likely to be the victims than the perpetrators. At the same time, mental illness has been the common denominator in one act of mass violence after another.
Motown's policy was to build one act at a time or their favorites.
I think maybe chance works better in a situation like music because music exists over a period of time, and you don't maintain constantly the you can't refer back from one area to another area.
I grew up with my career being thrust upon me. It took me a long time to believe that I could do more than that one aspect of our business.
There was a time in my life when one aspect of my lifestyle called for watching a lot of television.
One book at a time... though I'm usually doing the research for others while I'm writing, but that sort of research is fairly desultory and I like to stick to the book being written - and writing a book concentrates the mind so the research is more productive.
I never read one book at a time.
For something that's supposed to be secret, there is a lot of intelligence history. Every time I read one book, two more are published.
I'm like a recovering perfectionist. For me it's one day at a time.
A lot of things have been thrown at me in life, and I've got through it all without a rule book, taking it one day at a time.
You have to take things one day at a time.
I just wrote one song at a time. Kinda like an alcoholic. One day at a time.
The one thing we know about the future is that it comes only one day at a time.
