When I was younger, I made some decisions that I shouldn’t have. And, in hindsight, I’ve almost always been wrong when I haven’t listened to myself.

I’m exhausted almost all the time.

It was almost enough to make me feel emotion.

The Grameen clinics prove that a medical system ‘for the poor’ can be almost entirely self-supporting, and we hope we can make it fully self sufficient so we can expand it across Bangladesh.

For me, growing up in Detroit, scarves meant cold weather. But I remember working in a store, and we had some silk scarves – like, wide scarves with fringe – and because I had seen...

That which has always been accepted by everyone, everywhere, is almost certain to be false.

Almost everything is like a machine.

I’ve always worked on all different types of music, some with specific project goals and deadlines and some not. Sometimes I would write a piece of music that is almost like a film score or...

When I first came out with my fans and the wind hit me, I almost took off.

An enthusiastic desire of visiting the Old World haunted me from early childhood. I cherished a presentiment, amounting almost to belief, that I should one day behold the scenes, among which my fancy had so...

I think we’ve made tremendous progress on racism. We’ve even made progress on war. We’ve made almost no progress on poverty.

Abraham is the shared ancestor of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. He stands at the heart of these three faiths. And yet you know almost nothing about him.

In almost all my work, I try to re-invent Christian images and stories and themes. You’d be amazed by the letters I get from young Christians who recognise this and enjoy it.

I made so many mistakes in my first successful business I’m almost embarrassed to recount them.

In a country of such recent civilization as ours, whose almost limitless treasures of material wealth invite the risks of capital and the industry of labor, it is but natural that material interests should absorb...

Dreiser… I love… and almost wouldn’t speak to anyone who ever attacked him.

My family is almost exactly like the one in ‘Monsoon Wedding’. We are very open, fairly liberal, loud people.

In visual perception a color is almost never seen as it really is – as it physically is. This fact makes color the most relative medium in art.

Thanks to decades of accumulated federal budget deficits and, more significantly, imprudent Medicare and Social Security policies, we’ve stolen almost $60 trillion from our children.

You dream about the Olympics for so long and you have that one day, then it’s over, and when you don’t run well there is this huge letdown. It took me years to deal with...

In the preseason, in the month of October, I work out almost every day, lifting weights for 20 or 30 minutes, and then during the season I usually lift weights twice a week, sometimes a...

Fantasy/science-fiction stories have been around almost as long as each genre, but every hybrid now lives in the shadow of ‘Star Wars.’

My criteria for what makes a book an official ‘favorite,’ is based almost entirely on how desperately I don’t want the story to end.

The Lamb’s Club is going to be a luxury bar and grill; we’re not doing an overly fancy restaurant. We wanted to make a space that people will come to every day, almost like a...

I think diva is an inevitable outcome of the industry, and I don’t think it reflects on the person at all. You take a normal human being, and basically, for 24 hours, seven days a...

I became famous almost before I had a craft.

On ‘Metallica,’ I recorded six or seven different guitar solos for almost every song, took the best aspects of each solo, mapped out a master solo and made a composite. Then I learned how to...

Interstate highways dull the reality of place and distance almost as effectively as jetliners do: I loathe their scary monotony.

I like to speak on matters which matter to human beings, and almost everything matters to human beings.

Nothing good gets written without the writer suffering along the way, in my opinion. Writing should be a pleasure, but unless you feel almost broken many, many times in the journey to a novel, you...

I think that one of Elvis’ charms was that he could sing almost any kind of music. I am sure that in his heart, which I don’t know what was there, but just from his...

In ‘There Will Be Blood,’ my character was someone who was an actor himself almost. He had a rehearsed quality about him. He was a performance artist in a way.

We are, at almost every point of our day, immersed in cultural diversity: faces, clothes, smells, attitudes, values, traditions, behaviours, beliefs, rituals.

I get one shot at life, and I can say that I’ve lived a crazy one, and I’ve pushed the limit almost at every turn, and I’m super proud of that.

I’m a terrible cook. I am not allowed to go in the kitchen anymore after I almost burned down the apartment in New York.

In 2011, I announced that I was going to retire, and my agent panicked. So she says: ‘No, no, no. You have to write a book with your husband.’ My husband is a writer of...

I had a very vivid, almost hallucinatory moment in which I was engaged in a dialogue with my father.

I mean, no offense, but I don’t really see why, like guitar players from Creed, or something like that, are on the cover of guitar magazines. Almost anybody can sit down and learn to play...

It is almost the definition of a gentleman to say that he is one who never inflicts pain.

One of my main techniques for acting is I try to know almost nothing beyond the words that I have to say, because that’s my zone of control.

Show me one dictatorship in the world that has not been supported by the United States government or some European governments. It almost doesn’t exist. I think a dictatorship and hegemony are part of the...

In poetry everything which must be said is almost impossible to say well.

If it didn’t happen in your life before, then you’re not paying attention you don’t think it’s possible. But almost all important events never happen in your life before.

These mountains appear to be almost entirely composed of stratas of rock of various colours (mostly red) and are partially covered with a dwarfish growth of pine and cedar, which are the only species of...

I never understood that if you sweat as much as I used to every night, you drain your body of salts. So I got very, very, seriously ill. I got to the stage where I...

Well I think the media has a very powerful influence on almost anything and everything we do because the general public gets their perception of what is going on in things they don’t have immediate...

You can almost judge how screwed up somebody is by the kind of toilet paper they use. Go in any rich house and it’s some weird coloured embossed stuff.

Almost everyone wears rubber on their feet these days, but there was a time when it was considered cheap. Luxury shoes had leather soles, which were rigid and heavy.

If you take my stuff apart, you’ll find my choruses of repetitions are picked up almost verbatim from Kurt Vonnegut, and my distanced fracture quality is all from Amy Hempel, who’s probably my favourite writer.

In early 1993, a hostile observer might have had grounds for thinking that the Unix story was almost played out, and with it the fortunes of the hacker tribe.
