So often, you don't get that opportunity. You only go over everything once and, the next thing you know, you're on set.

Look at people for an example, but then make sure to do things your way. Surround yourself with positive people.

You have to stand for what you believe in and sometimes you have to stand alone.

I decided early on that I was going to put on my crown and rule my world by acting right and treating myself like a queen.

I don’t want to be a supermodel; I want to be a role model.

Every woman is a queen, and we all have different things to offer.

No one ever got ahead by going through the motions. You have to constantly be improving yourself. Make your life the masterpiece you want it to be.

I really don't know how to be anyone else, and whenever I try to be anyone else, I fail miserably. Or I disappoint myself. It doesn't build my self-esteem, and it doesn't help me grow me at all.

The closer you can get to your setting and to primary sources, the more authentic your history is going to be.

The thing is, I can teach. I can teach bloody well. So few chefs have that level of generosity. I demand a lot, a f***ing hell of a lot, but I give a lot back.

The amount of detailed information which an individual has at his command and his theoretical elaborations of the same are mutually dependent; they grow in and through each other.

I can walk the line, if it ain't too straight.

Faith in Christ is able to endure doubts-it's able to endure temptations-bec ause it faces them, not because it pretends they're not there.

Recently, I've been loving Monster Hunter! A film conversion is currently in planning.

The walls of books around him, dense with the past, formed a kind of insulation against the present world of disasters.

Travel is in sad case. It is uncomfortable, it is expensive; it is a source of annoyance to our friends, and of loneliness to ourselves.
