The Congo was the most difficult shoot of my life but was also maybe the greatest adventure of my life. – Anthony Bourdain
I have been overcome by the beauty and richness of our life together, those early mornings setting out, those evenings gleaming with rivers and lakes below us, still holding the last light. – Anne Morrow Lindbergh
I wanted to be a painter when I was a kid. And then, I had to make a living. I had a child when I was in high school, so I kind of had that work phase in my life. – Colleen Atwood
I live a very secluded life, a very contemplative life and a very meditative one. That is my ideal life. – Alice Walker
I was already devouring literature and I was the ripe old age of 15 when I decided to be an actor. I just thought plays were the most fantastic way of expressing life. I thought I’d discovered Shakespeare – ‘hey, there’s a new guy in town, don’t know if anyone’s read him.’ I was just excited about the whole thing, from day one. – Chiwetel Ejiofor
My life is scheduled to the minute. I used to be notoriously hard to get a hold of. But now, it would be irresponsible for me to say, ‘I’m not checking my phone.’ – Brie Larson
The gene ‘klotho’ was named after the Greek Fate purported to spin the thread of life, because it contributes to longevity. – Craig Venter
No government, no organisation, no citizen can afford to be less than vigilant in combating bigotry, intolerance and hatred. And frankly, our way of life depends on that vigilance. – Barry O’Farrell
The cycling helmet can save your life, but it doesn’t look good and tends to ruin your hair. – Astro Teller
I’m a teenager, but I’m independent – I have my own apartment, I have my own life. And I think I have learned more than any of those teenagers have in school. I learned to be responsible, leaving my family and coming here alone. – Adriana Lima
We assume that we’ve come so far as compassionate citizens of the world if we do choose to read the news, yet the attitude towards life can be one where we put blinders on and forget that there are civil wars going on. It’s easy to forget that there are so many people starving to death every single day. – Anne Hathaway
I always say that the times in my life when I’ve been happiest are the times when I’ve seen, like, a sunset. – Chris Evans
I’m like Shrek. Shrek’s a nice guy, but people keep alienating him, like they did with me in my younger life. I’m very loving and kind and generous – I’m a sweetheart! – CeeLo Green
I come from playing sports. I compete, so I gotta be better than I was last year. I gotta get better, and that better gotta come from just growing. From learning new stuff to working on it, experience it in life, and failing. – Common
I certainly don’t delude myself that there aren’t certainly more important things to do in life than make people laugh, but I can’t imagine anything that would bring me more joy. – Bob Newhart
I’m a professional athlete. I’ve been paid since I was in my early 20s to go out there and fight with guys who were 40 or 50 pounds heavier than I am and fight for my life. I got into a business where people make decisions based on some of the most stupid things. – Bill Goldberg
As I tell my daughter, when you want something in life – no matter how impossible it seems – you need to fight for it. – Brad Meltzer
You think intercourse is a private act; it’s not, it’s a social act. Men are sexually predatory in life; and women are sexually manipulative. When two individuals come together and leave their gender outside the bedroom door, then they make love. – Andrea Dworkin
I always choose to look, as much as one can, at the supernatural not being something that exists outside of nature, but a deeper, fundamental heart of nature that perhaps humans… have lost touch with. It’s a more primal thing than perhaps we are attuned to in our modern, self-aware way of life. – Alan Ball
To be hopeful, to embrace one possibility after another that is surely the basic instinct – crying out: High tide! Time to move out into the glorious debris. Time to take this life for what it is! – Barbara Kingsolver
I made my first film when I was 35, so I firmly believe that you don’t have to be one thing in life. If you’re doing something, and you have a desire to do something different, give it a try. – Ava DuVernay
Actresses can get outrageously precious about the way they look. That’s not what life’s about. If you starve yourself to the point where your brain cells shrivel, you will never do good work. And if you’re overly conscious of your arms flapping in the wind, how can you look the other actor in the eye to respond to them? – Cate Blanchett
Life in New York can be so, I don’t know, chaotic, overwhelming, busy, frantic, and often, seniors can easily get overlooked. – Aaron Lazar
Some of the most important determinants of life paths arise through the most trivial of circumstances. – Albert Bandura
I hope telling stories though ‘Making a Difference’ – as in my academic work and nonprofit work – will help me to live my grandmother’s adage of ‘Life is not about what happens to you, but about what you do with what happens to you.’ – Chelsea Clinton
I do believe I was put here to tell stories and be creative in that way. It’s given my life so much purpose and meaning, and it’s ultimately what I live for. – Anna Akana
My business life is really simple. It’s like, get check. Put check in bank. Pay rent. I’ve never bought a stock in my life. I never got caught up in that trip. And the truth is, I don’t obsess about money ever. – Bennett Miller
