Between the kids, the jobs and everything, no matter what color you are, cardio is probably not on the top of your list.

Fame is really strange. One day you’re not famous, and then the next day you are, and the odd thing is that you know intellectually that nothing in the world is different. What mattered to...

Consider all the inanimate matter in the universe, all the dumb atoms, all the mindless molecules, all the oblivious dust grains and pebbles and rocks and iceballs and worlds and stars, all the unthinking galaxies...

I don’t like swearing on the air. As a matter of fact, I’m not a prude, but… I watch HBO and some of the comedy stuff, and I’m constantly asking myself, ‘Why have we gone...

No matter what age you are, or what your circumstances might be, you are special, and you still have something unique to offer. Your life, because of who you are, has meaning.

It’s not about success. Whatever happens, it doesn’t matter. I would like to not go bankrupt or get some incurable disease, but other than that, I’m just happy to keep going.

The older I’ve gotten, the more the need to exert comedy no matter how tragic a character I may be portraying because they are essentials for presenting truth.

I realise that I had the best of serious picture journalism. There was an innocence in our approach, especially in the 1950s and 1960s when we naively believed that by holding a mirror up to...

At best, the renewal of broken relations is a nervous matter.

When CNN does a story and then says, ‘Tweet us what you think’ – why? Why does it matter what I think? Why should my thoughts be broadcast on a national news program? It’s enough...

But I think there’s a genuine joy, too, a sense that no matter what, even if my stomach’s growling, I’m going to dance. That’s what I want to leave people with at the end of...

No matter what as an artist that’s always what you want to do, you want to connect to the audience, you want to be able to send whatever message it is that you’re singing about,...

It’s a question of why they come for your advice. Whatever I tell you, it doesn’t matter, it is completely irrelevant in a way. I know so many actors who were discouraged and put that...

Wanting to be in a Western film won’t get me very far. Unless the opportunity arose, it doesn’t matter how much I want to be in one. But if an opportunity did arise, no actor...

Personally, I prefer contemporary films, but the market calls for more period choices, especially since China opened up a cinema market in Hong Kong. There’s a lot of restriction for contemporary films simply because of...

When Picasso painted in Paris, was he a Spanish or a French painter? It does not matter, he was Picasso, whatever the influences surrounding him. He simply chose Paris because it was the ideal place...

Traditional matter must be glorified, since it would be easier to listen to the re-creation of familiar stories than to quite new and unexpected things; the listeners, we must remember, needed poetry chiefly as the...

I’m learning how to keep my identity and personal life sacred. It’s a matter of knowing my limits. I don’t have to give everything that’s asked of me.

One constant writing ritual, no matter what I’m writing, is that I cannot write if people are around me. It wigs me out – the idea that someone is reading as I’m writing stuff.

It doesn’t matter how precisely the onion is cut as long as the person chewing it is happy.

Cyber attacks are not what makes the cool war ‘cool.’ As a strategic matter, they do not differ fundamentally from older tools of espionage and sabotage.

I was a jazz major in high school, in an all-jazz band. No matter what I do, it features my musical influences.

Racism is ridiculous no matter where it’s coming from.

No matter how brilliant an actor is, there’s always a point where they let you down, but that’s all part of their journey. They might be trying something they need to explore.
