“I believe in mythology. I guess I share Joseph Campbell's notion that a culture or society without mythology would die, and we're close to that.”
Robert Redford
“I had just arrived in New York from California. I was nineteen years old and excited beyond belief. I was an art student and an acting student and behaved as most young actors did - meaning that there was no such thing as a good actor, 'cause you yourself hadn't shown up yet.”
Robert Redford
“The technology available for film-making now is incredible, but I am a big believer that it's all in the story.”
Robert Redford
“I don't believe in elitism. I don't think the audience is this dumb person lower than me. I am the audience.”
Quentin Tarantino
“Everything I learned as an actor, I have basically applied to writing.”
Quentin Tarantino
“A good puzzle, it's a fair thing. Nobody is lying. It's very clear, and the problem depends just on you.”
Erno Rubik
“The moment you are old enough to take the wheel, responsibility lies with you.”
Joanne Kathleen Rowling
“I really don't believe in magic.”
Joanne Kathleen Rowling
“I always believe that to be the best, you have to smell like the best, dress like the best, act like the best. When you throw your trash in the garbage can, it has to be better than anybody else who ever threw trash in the garbage can.”
Lil Wayne
“I believe in God and his son, Jesus.”
Lil Wayne
“I believe music should reflect yourself in some way and not just yourself at the given time. I feel that when you die or when you're going, someone's supposed to listen to that music and know everything about you. And I just try to get that across.”
Lil Wayne
“I believe that everything happens for a reason. People change so that you can learn to let go, things go wrong so that you appreciate them when they're right, you believe lies so you eventually learn to trust no one but yourself, and sometimes good things fall apart so better things can fall together.”
Marilyn Monroe
“A wise girl kisses but doesn't love, listens but doesn't believe, and leaves before she is left.”
Marilyn Monroe
“This life is what you make it. Not matter what, you're going to mess up sometimes, it's a universal truth. But the good part is you get to decide how you're going to mess it up. Girls will be your friends - they'll act like it anyway. But just remember, some come, somg go. The ones that stay with you through everything - they're your true best friends. Don't let go of them. Also remember, sisters make the best friends in the world. As for lovers, well, they'll come and go too. And babve, I hate to say it, most of them - actually pretty much all of them are going to break your heart, but you can't give up becuase if you give up, you'll never find your soul mate. You'll never find that half who makes you whole and that goes for everything. Just because you fail once, doesn't mean you're gonna fail at everything. Keep trying, hold on, and always, always, always believe in yourself, because if you don't, then who will, sweetie? So keep your head high, keep your chin up, and most importantly, keep smiling, because life's a beautiful thing and there's so much to smile about.”
Marilyn Monroe
“I wanted to ask a thousand questions, but there was no one to ask. Besides I knew that people only told lies to children-lies about everything from soup to Santa Claus.”
Marilyn Monroe
“But chiefly, no lies! No lies about there being a Santa Claus or about the world being full of noble and honorable people all eager to help each other and do good to each other. I'll tell her there are honor and goodness in the world, the same as there are diamonds and radium.”
Marilyn Monroe
“Always, always, always believe in yourself, because if you don't, then who will, Sweetie? So keep your head high, keep your chin up, and most importantly, keep smiling, because life's a beautiful thing and there's so much to smile about.”
Marilyn Monroe
“I don't think I ever thought of myself as Superman. But there were people who thought of me that way, and maybe I believed them a little.”
Eminem
“There are a terrible lot of lies going about the world, and the worst of it is that half of them are true.”
Winston Churchill
“In wartime, truth is so precious that she should always be attended by a bodyguard of lies.”
Winston Churchill
“I believe in God, but not as one thing, not as an old man in the sky. I believe that what people call God is something in all of us. I believe that what Jesus and Mohammed and Buddha and all the rest said was right. It's just that the translations have gone wrong.”
John Lennon
“I'm not claiming divinity. I've never claimed purity of soul. I've never claimed to have the answers to life. I only put out songs and
answer questions as honestly as I can... But I still believe in peace, love and understanding.”
John Lennon
“I believe in everything until it's disproved. So I believe in fairies, the myths, dragons. It all exists, even if it's in your mind. Who's to
say that dreams and nightmares aren't as real as the here and now?”
John Lennon
“If being an egomaniac means I believe in what I do and in my art or music, then in that respect you can call me that... I believe in what I do, and I'll say it.”
John Lennon
“A house must be built on solid foundations if it is to last. The same principle applies to man, otherwise he too will sink back into the soft ground and becomes swallowed up by the world of illusion.”
Sai Baba
“I don't want to believe my own hype.”
Christina Aguilera
“I think it's really great when you stand up for something that you really believe, even if you get heat for it.”
Christina Aguilera
“My mom brought me up to believe that my talent is a gift and a blessing.”
Christina Aguilera
“America is a Nation with a mission - and that mission comes from our most basic beliefs. We have no desire to dominate, no ambitions of empire. Our aim is a democratic peace - a peace founded upon the dignity and rights of every man and woman.”
George Washington Bush
“I believe the most solemn duty of the American president is to protect the American people. If America shows uncertainty and weakness in this decade, the world will drift toward tragedy. This will not happen on my watch.”
George Washington Bush
