I was in uniform for four years, and I know that heroism doesn't occur from taking orders, but rather from people who through their own willpower and strength are willing to sacrifice their lives for an idea.
There are horrible people who, instead of solving a problem, tangle it up and make it harder to solve for anyone who wants to deal with it. Whoever does not know how to hit the nail on the head should be asked not to hit it at all.
There are some people so addicted to exaggeration that they can't tell the truth without lying.
We define family in many different ways: not just by blood but by people with whom we find a common ground and a common bond.
Every New Year comes with a list of predictions. Self-predictions, world predictions, how many times Lindsay Lohan will get arrested predictions, etc. I reserve the annual trend for people with genuine psychic ability and/or bloggers.
I can't believe that people actually know my first and last name. I think it's really, really, gosh-darn neat.
I have no methods; all I do is accept people as they are.
There are people to whom heroism under fire comes naturally and seemingly without effort, but Patton was not one of them.
Some people are so famous that the legends about them and the cultural aftermath of their life altogether obscure the real human being.
I have survivor skills. Some of that is superficial — what I present to people outwardly — but what makes people resilient is the ability to find humour and irony in situations that would otherwise overpower you.
Why is it so hard for people to believe that white people are poor?! I wouldn't say I lived in a ghetto; I'd say I lived in the 'hood. The same friends I had back then are the same people on tour with me now.
There are a handful of people whom money won't spoil, and we all count ourselves among them.
Because sorry to say, women run the house. They run the family. They hold things up. I mean, it's like you don't ever see your mom get sick because she handles everything. And it's kind of amazing I think to show people just how strong women are.
Too many people today know the price of everything and the value of nothing.
I think many people can relate to that excruciating pain of love gone wrong. I'd rather have a broken arm than a broken heart.
Five billion people have played Hamlet. 'To be or not to be'. And how do you do that and find your way into your own journey, your own way of telling it?
If you can open people's hearts first, then maybe people's minds get opened after that.
I like wearing things that other people wouldn't want to wear, to be a bit edgy.
I feel like people are expecting me to fail; therefore, I expect myself to win.
I suppose leadership at one time meant muscles; but today it means getting along with people.
