Bruce Lee // "To spend time...is to pass it in a specified manner. To waste time...is to expend it thoughtlessly or carelessly. We all have time to spend or waste, and it is our decision what to do with it... Don't waste time, for time is what life is made up of."
Martin Luther King Jr. // "There comes a time when one must take a position that is neither safe, nor politic, nor popular, but he must take it because conscience tells him it is right."
Andy Warhol // "As soon as I became a loner in my own mind, that's when I got what you might call a "following." As soon as you stop wanting something, you get it."
Josephine Baker // "I'm not intimidated by anyone. Everyone is made with two arms, two legs, a stomach and a head. Just think about that."
David Bowie // It occurred to me after watching MTV for the past few months...I'm just floored by the fact that there's so few black artists featured... The only few black artists that one does see are on about 2:30 in the morning until around 6. Very few are featured predominantly during the day... There seems to be a lot of black artists making very good videos that I'm surprised aren't used on MTV. Mark Goodman (MTV) // Of course...we have to do what we think, not only New York and Los Angeles would like to see but also...the Midwest that would be scared to death... We have to play the music we think an entire country is going to like. David Bowie // Well I'll tell you what maybe the Isley Brothers or Marvin Gaye means to a black 17 year old and surely he's part of America as well... Do you not find that it's a frightening predicament to be in?
Alan Rickman // "Always."
Marilyn Monroe // "I used to think...there must be thousands of girls sitting alone like me, dreaming of becoming a movie star. But I'm not going to worry about them. I'm dreaming the hardest."
John Cleese // "I noticed years ago that when people (myself definitely included) are anxious, they tend to busy themselves with irrelevant activities, because these distract from and therefore reduce their actual experience of anxiety. To stay perfectly still is to feel the fear at its maximum intensity, so instead you scuttle around doing things as though you are, in some mysterious way, short of time."
Bob Dylan // "I always knew that there was something out there that I needed to get to. And it wasn't where I was at that particular moment... I was heading for the fantastic lights. Destiny was looking right at me..."
Dolly Parton // "The way I see it, if you want the rainbow, you gotta put up with the rain."
Anjelica Huston // "I watched my father at the end of his life; physically, his possibilities became narrower and narrower. As they grew narrower, his mind expanded and he became more gentle, more loving, more giving, more vulnerable, more creative...I would hardly call that a regression. It was a fantastic, inspirational thing to witness."
George Lucas // "Always remember, your focus determines your reality."
