The sporting fields where Australia’s greats began their careers are built and rebuilt with Commonwealth help, as are the halls and community centres where our most of our well-known stars first felt the magic of the stage.

I’d always felt very strongly in the power of vocation.

I just wrote what I felt like writing since they seemed to sell.

I’ve always felt that work – learning from people who know more than I know – is what keeps you going.

I had older brothers and sisters who were high achievers, and I felt different, misunderstood by my family. That’s not my family’s fault; it was my perception.

I felt my whole life was a facsimile of a life.

I don’t feel at home in New Orleans. I don’t feel at home in Austin or L.A. And I just felt immediately at home in northern Australia.

I learned by listening to other people sing and doing impressions of them. And there are things no one can ever teach you, like phrasing. By listening to Sinatra, for instance – you felt that everything he sang had happened in his life.

No, only disappointment in myself on those occasions I didn’t manage to rise to the occasion as I felt I should’ve done. I can always see how to do it, and then the challenge is, Can I manage that each and every day?

If you ever felt alone, come to my cottage and drink the whole bottle; it is not so bad to be abnormal for a while.

I always felt like Broadway was not for me – in terms of ticket price, in terms of what was on there. I never saw myself reflected in the mirror of the Great White Way.

I always felt, as a listener at a show, that when there was too much banter between the artist and the audience that it detracted from the show. I more enjoyed shows where the guys came out and they just played.

While I have always, felt like an outsider, it’s because of the professional choices I have made, so it’s not like I am planning to throw myself a giant pity party.

Two main definitions of a true leader; His presence is noticed and his absence is felt…!

When I was in Beck’s world, I felt like the little sister. I’m in the big brother’s room with all his friends. You just hang out and keep your mouth shut so they don’t realize you’re there and kick you out. I like being in situations where I can be an underdog, where I can...

Music isn’t just heard, it is felt.

I had decided after ‘Hollow Man’ to stay away from science fiction. I felt I had done so much science fiction. Four of the six movies I made in Hollywood are science-fiction oriented, and even ‘Basic Instinct’ is kind of science fiction.

Songs are a way to express what I have felt. A way to understand what happened to me or to other people.

They were singing, Gillette, the best a man can get, with a lot of guys hugging their fathers and sailing and riding bikes. I suddenly felt a long way from the best a man could get and I thought it would be nice to get from there to the best.

Cue actor platitude, but I’ve been very fortunate and worked pretty consistently and have felt rather annoyingly grateful that I got to do what I got to do.

It was dripping and, you know, and there was a whole line of cameras and microphones. I felt like – you remember the honor guards, only it was a dishonor guard.

I love New York, but I’d felt like an outsider here.

You can wish as hard as you like but all that really matters is the shape you’re in on the day of the race. I’ve always felt these really big races aren’t necessarily won by whoever is the fastest. They’re won by the athlete who is the smartest and in the best shape on the...

To err is human; but contrition felt for the crime distinguishes the virtuous from the wicked.

I never quit trying. I never felt that I didn’t have a chance to win.

As one who has often felt this need, and who has found refreshment in wild places, I attest to the recreational value of wilderness.

I’ve always felt that the human-centered approach to computer science leads to more interesting, more exotic, more wild, and more heroic adventures than the machine-supremacy approach, where information is the highest goal.

As I got more successful, I felt it was more incumbent upon me to help the other people. I did more and more and the more I did the more I wanted.

Oh God, I don’t know if I ever really felt beautiful. I don’t, really.

I started working on OpenBSD, and many earlier projects, because I have always felt that vendor systems were not designed for quality.

I felt invincible. My strength was that of a giant. God was certainly standing by me. I smashed five saloons with rocks before I ever took a hatchet.

The best form of flattery is to be admired, imitated or respected. I’ve always felt proud our fans look up to us or feel we are inspirational.

When I first played ‘1234’ it was on stage in San Francisco at some kind of, like, sticky-floored club. And it felt like a punk song. I mean it’s ridiculous to say that now, but it had that kind of, like, piercing straight melody. And then this fist-pumping ending, you know that pa-dap-pada.

I’m glad to say my father never felt ashamed of me, but my mother probably did.

The only kind of restaurant I could imagine doing would be the extraordinarily snooty restaurant with three or four tables, and I would cook what I felt like cooking. And you could eat it or not.

I am not a spiritual guy, but all of a sudden I felt the need to really feel things.

I’m a fifth generation Jew from the South, and I would say that I felt this connection to my religion, but it wasn’t a spiritual connection.

When I was trying to find work after drama school in London, it felt like the same actors always got the plum roles, especially in television. We have a smaller market place, vastly fewer drama-producing networks, and they seem to compete for the same established names for those projects.

I felt weary of the responsibility of owning houses and was glad enough to pass mine on to others.

At the very beginning of my career I felt very strongly about what type of artist I wanted to be.

I have always felt like a loved, valued and equal member of my family.

I always felt that church is where I’m going to find my community and people to live my life with.

I never felt that I didn’t have a chance to win.

We felt that although they were patchy, there was a tremendous political energy in the Henry plays.

i felt her absence. it was like waking up one day with no teeth in your mouth. you wouldn’t need to run to the mirror to know they were gone

I don’t know why, but I never felt I was gonna stay with the Stones forever, even right from the beginning.

I thought it was all a flash in the pan. It wasn’t until Broadway came along that I felt I had really made it.

I felt, this is what I want to be in my life. I want to be an actress.

We do not merely perceive objects and hold thoughts in our minds: all our perceptions and thought processes are felt. All have a distinctive component that announces an unequivocal link between images and the existence of life in our organism.

I never felt hard done by and never wanted for anything, but I grew up in a wealthy area where I saw people being handed things on a plate. So it made me want to earn some money and be able to buy things for myself.
