If the world seems cold to you, kindle fires to warm it.
It's the most amazing thing to be able to forgive.
There is no point at which you can say, 'Well, I'm successful now. I might as well take a nap.'
A drop of water, if it could write out its own history, would explain the universe to us.
You get to choose what monsters you want to slay. I'm sorry to say this again, but let's face it - the Force is with you.
Instant gratification takes too long.
I'm happiest when I'm just hanging out with my friends... it really doesn't matter what we do.
You can never control who you fall in love with, even when you're in the most sad, confused time of your life. You don't fall in love with people because they're fun. It just happens.
I'm very mature for my age, but I'm also innocent in a lot of ways.
I was a big Guns N' Roses fan when I was seven. My friend who lived across the street had long dark curly hair and I had long blonde hair, so I'd dress up as Axl and she'd be Slash, and we'd rock out in front of the mirror singing 'Patience.'
You win a championship, and you feel 7 feet tall.
That's what I love about baseball, that it gives the opportunity for every single guy to develop and play the game. There's not a rule that you have to be 6 foot or you have to be real strong to play baseball or to become a good player.
If I knew I was going to live this long, I'd have taken better care of myself.
I grew up in a family that always believed in God. And I feel like, every morning when you wake up, you have to thank Him just for another day. I do it every day.
It's not like I go out on the field thinking that I'm 5-6 and I'm the smallest guy out there. I'm just trying to help my team win games.
Every actor is somewhat mad, or else he'd be a plumber or a bookkeeper or a salesman.
Fitness has nothing to do with age.
April 2nd is a memorable moment of my cricketing career.
Sometimes I think if I had the same body and the same natural ability and someone else's brain, who knows how good a player I might have been.
You don't realize how easy this game is until you get up in that broadcasting booth.
After I hit a home run I had a habit of running the bases with my head down. I figured the pitcher already felt bad enough without me showing him up rounding the bases.
I have never met a vampire personally, but I don't know what might happen tomorrow.
As for my batting, the best part about it is I have never changed it. I have never changed my thinking, I have never changed my batting style.
A team is where a boy can prove his courage on his own. A gang is where a coward goes to hide.
You can't make people believe in you if you play a horror part with your tongue in your cheek.
I guess I'm pretty much of a lone wolf. I don't say I don't like people at all, but, to tell you the truth, I only like it then if I have a chance to look deep into their hearts and their minds.
Til the day I didn't play under-19 World Cup, nobody ever celebrated my birthday. And the moment I played for Indian team, my family got excited and ordered and cut a cake for me in front of 40-50 family members.
If you know your game, you can handle pressure; you can handle any kind of situation, back yourself, and play your own game and get success.
A lot of people tell me now I'm their inspiration. They say, 'I don't play baseball,' and then they mention whatever - engineer, doctor, college student, high school student - but they're hurt because, for some reason, people feel shame about themselves or embarrassed because they are short or skinny or fat or whatever.
My close-up was magnificent!
I am quite a dreamer, and usually when someone tells a story, I tend to get distracted easily.
I've got my life and "Harry Potter", where I travel the world, I make films, I meet amazing people, I do press junkets and stuff. And then I go back home to Leeds, where I live, and I've got the same friends from before.
Matthew Lewis (actor of Neville Longbottom)
1You can stay true to yourself and your friends, you can do the right thing, you can do with your life whatever you want to. I think that's a lovely message.
I live in Leeds, which is about 200 miles north of London, and I get to go and do all the 'Harry Potter' stuff and make great films and be part of this wonderful thing all around the world, and then I get to go home and chill out with my friends in Leeds and go watch the football and go to the pub.
No villain thinks of himself as a villain, and that's the approach I always take.
I'm a con artist in that I'm an actor. I make people believe something is real when they know perfectly well it isn't.
My family is very conservative.
Hypocrisy is the tribute that vice pays to virtue.
My goal is to cut government in half in twenty-five years, to get it down to the size where we can drown it in the bathtub.
The important thing about tax reform is you make the tax code less complicated, easier for people to understand.
The idea is to choose good roles and good movies. I don't want to act simply to remain in the industry, nor am I here to do glamour roles.
Someday I will get married, and I should be able to watch my films with my children, mother-in-law, and father-in-law.
I was a short, chubby kid, pretty shy.
You don't have to be a Brad Pitt look-alike hero just to be courageous and help out your friends and come through when it really matters. I think everyone can sort of relate to that in some way, particularly back to people's school days.
Every time you cut programs, you take away a person who has a vested interest in high taxes and you put him on the tax rolls and make him a taxpayer. A farmer on subsidies is part welfare bum, whereas a free-market farmer is a small businessman with a gun.
There's nothing like spending an evening with an audience every night.
Powerful people are always in charge. You have to acknowledge that and deal with it as a reality. They're not devils. They're not monsters. They're human beings, like us, that have their share of insecurities and fears. You have to contemplate that as you go through life.
It was a great experience to work with director A. L. Vijay.
