I think it’s important to be able to say that you did live a normal life and struggled to make ends meet. It all has to do with work ethic and how I apply myself to my awesome job now. I’ve always been used to working because I’ve been working since I was four.

We only call at ducks when their rear ends are towards us. If I’m looking at you and you call my name, then I know where the sound came from. But if you had your back to me and I holler and you turn around, you would assume somebody hollered. You want your decoys to represent the sound that you’re making.
Design is the fundamental soul of a man-made creation that ends up expressing itself in successive outer layers of the product or service.

One argument against open systems is that they become open to everything, good and bad.

It’s weird – on almost every film I’ve worked on, the first sequence we storyboard ends up being the first sequence that goes into animation, and ends up being almost shot-for-shot the same.

Kastellorizo is where Europe ends and Asia begins, and its history is fascinating.
Transcendental Meditation, for me, has been a way of turning down the outside racket and turning up the bandwidth of instinct, intuition, concentration, attention. On the light ends, it’s a power nap. On the strong ends, it’s a giant battery, and that battery doesn’t run out.
Because I’m a good girl, I tend to fall for the bad boy persona, and it ends up biting me in the butt. They end up not knowing how to treat me, and I end up completely devastated.

Whether Canada ends up as o-ne national government or two national governments or several national governments, or some other kind of arrangement is, quite frankly, secondary in my opinion.
I hate when a movie just sort of ends and is so open-ended you feel like it wasn’t finished.

Golf has always been a game where you have to control both ends of the club.
I’ve been really lucky thus far with acting, in that I can do things I believe in and feel good about, and feel good about myself. If for some reason one day that ends, I won’t do it anymore. If I feel like I have to compromise myself to continue to be in this industry, I don’t want to do that.

Patriotism has served, at different times, as widely different ends as a razor, which ought to be used in keeping your face clean and yet may be used to cut your own throat or that of an innocent person.

I write synopses after the book is completed. I can’t write it beforehand, because I don’t know what the book’s about. I invent something for my publisher because he asks for one, but the final book ends up very differently.

I made a promise to myself to write songs I liked. I’m an acoustic singer/songwriter, and I need to be able play every song by myself on guitar. No matter what the production ends up being on the record, I’ve got to be able to go out and sell it all on my own. It’s about connection.
Both my mother and my father grew up in Asia, in a time of political instability. They’d earned college degrees before setting foot in the States but had to work menial jobs early on in order to make ends meet.

Barack Obama being President of the United States doesn’t mean racism has disappeared. It’s all a process, and we have to be aware that the work never ends.

President Trump is, some ways, the personification of a new Bolshevism of the Right, where the ends justify the means and acceptable tactics include lies and smears and the exploitation of what Lenin called ‘useful idiots.’

When you give everyone a voice and give people power, the system usually ends up in a really good place. So, what we view our role as, is giving people that power.

I got the most surprising reaction was when I had bleached blonde hair with a black stripe at the bottom – all of the ends were black. That one got the most attention – good and bad.
I’m really interested in how you create a whole new economy of recycling. It’s literally the ‘underground economy.’ All this stuff that on the surface creates growth and profit, ends up with waste, junk, and CO2. So how do you make it economic to bring new players into the ball game?
You know, I don’t think, you know, therapy never ends, really.

Endings are always tough, but I believe when something ends, there are new beginnings, new opportunities and new things to be excited for, too.

I remember when we were making ‘They Call It Pro Football,’ which was our ‘Citizen Kane.’ The first line is ‘It starts with a whistle and ends with a gun.’

Parents today are under a lot of stress, sometimes working two jobs just to make ends meet. They’re trying to find day care for their kids and elder care for their own parents. The Federal Government shouldn’t add to their worries by not living up to its obligations.
The most important thing is how the season ends.
If China is doing business with a company that ends up putting money back into proliferation activities, then we’ll sanction that company and China.
Communication is paramount, and what medium or what format you utilize should be a non-issue.

People don’t change very much, and the things life ends up being about don’t change from generation to generation. Life is about love. And people’s stories don’t really change. Your environment changes dramatically, technology changes, but people don’t change, in the way our minds work.
Every revolutionary ends up either by becoming an oppressor or a heretic.
You know someone is your favorite person when you’ve done a day of press, listened to yourself ad nauseam, listened to them tell every story, and when it ends, it’s like, ‘Are we going to eat something?’
I really don’t like going out. I don’t like restaurants because I don’t like the idea of someone, a waitress, being responsible for my evening. I like seconds, and more, and lots of conversation, and I’ve always hated the idea that in a restaurant an evening just ends. I find that incredibly depressing.
To me, a great company starts with a great product and ends with a great product.
‘Loose Ends’ was an all-female crew and one of the greatest on-set experiences I’ve ever had. We were ahead of schedule every day, and there was a laid-back, calm, supportive vibe that was entirely new to all of us.
Anyone interested in language ends up writing about the sociological issues around it.
This is one of the major problems we have. By the way, it was endorsed by leadership on both sides of the aisle and both ends of the Capitol, by the NRA and also by the gun control groups.

Architecture begins where engineering ends.
I like to tell stories that have beginnings, middles and ends.
On my own or with a friend, I’m a shopaholic, and I particularly love the cleaning aisle in the supermarket. But when I’m with my husband, I’m shop shy because he can’t bear it. It always ends up with us making a huge scene on the High Street and then going off in a huff in separate directions.

Humanitarian action cannot be held hostage to political ends.

I believe I fill in every box on both ends of the floor.
We can all be successful and make money, but when we die, that ends. But when you are significant is when you help other people be successful. That lasts many a lifetime.

When you’re together with someone for some time, you will automatically depend on them as if they were a crutch. And then it ends.
The debt ceiling at some point has to be raised.

Under the circumstances, may I suggest another means of encouraging probity in elective office. I refer to term limitations, which can serve ends beyond that of saving congressional souls.
When God desires to destroy a thing, he entrusts its destruction to the thing itself. Every bad institution of this world ends by suicide.
It’s got a lot more room for nuance and an assumption that people have started from the beginning. ‘Bloodline’ ends up being like a really good novel.
If Uber is lower-priced, then more people will want it. And if more people want it and can afford it, then you have more cars on the road. And if you have more cars on the road, then your pickup times are lower, your reliability is better. The lower-cost product ends up being more luxurious than the high-end one.

Breakups are hard for anybody, and no matter how it happens or ends up, they’re just hard.
I’ve sat down and written with a more or less supportable or insupportable idea or thing to say, and it ends. When it’s not 200 pages, people want to call it a story. I guess they’re entitled to do that. In my view, if it were a supportable idea, it would have gone 200 pages, and it didn’t.
Whenever I start a novel, I’m always looking for two things: a bit of science that makes me go ‘what if?’ and a piece of history that ends in a question mark.
We all agree on the core values of a free and open Internet. We simply may disagree on the appropriate regulatory framework for securing those values. And I would much rather have an open and honest debate about the appropriate regulatory framework as opposed to throwing misinformation out there to achieve political ends.
People take the longest possible paths, digress to numerous dead ends, and make all kinds of mistakes. Then historians come along and write summaries of this messy, nonlinear process and make it appear like a simple, straight line.
What are the relationships between power and knowledge? There are two bad, short answers: 1. Knowledge provides an instrument that those in power can wield for their own ends. 2. A new body of knowledge brings into being a new class of people or institutions that can exercise a new kind of power.
I’m terrible at collaborating with people; nothing ever ends up coming out good.
The studios are nervous on every movie. It never ends, because Marty’s movies are so unusual. He doesn’t repeat himself, so they don’t know what to expect. We have to fight hard to keep them from being ruined. Film students can’t believe that when I tell them, because they think, ‘Well, it’s Martin Scorsese.’
For liberals, generally speaking, honoring procedures – means – is the core of what being ‘principled‘ means. For conservatives, fighting for the right outcome – ends – even at the expense of procedural nicety, is what being ‘principled’ means.
I can’t think in terms of journalism without thinking in terms of political ends. Unless there’s been a reaction, there’s been no journalism. It’s cause and effect.
The problem is Jewish-American fiction that always ends with assimilation back into the community.
Fear and its accompanying emotional reactions have become part of the public mindset. Such reactions, while often legitimate, are also being exploited with increasing frequency for political ends.

If you plan to win as I do, the game never ends.
Grief changes shape, but it never ends.

I try to be as honest as I can in writing. That’s what ends up translating and relating to people.
I’ve written a detective series myself, set in an imaginary, and slightly futuristic, Chinese city. The novels have an extremely tenuous relationship with the real world, since the hero is the city’s Hell and ends up with a sidekick who is a demon.
In England, an inventor is regarded almost as a crazy man, and in too many instances, invention ends in disappointment and poverty. In America, an inventor is honoured, help is forthcoming, and the exercise of ingenuity, the application of science to the work of man, is there the shortest road to wealth.
It’s not like suddenly, when you become a working actor all your friends are in the same situation. I have friends who are still handing out flyers for their one-woman show and trying to make ends meet.
God never ends anything on a negative; God always ends on a positive.
One of the nice things about the world of filmmaking is that you make friends in the business. Sometimes directors feel a script needs something, but they’re not sure what it is, so they show it to a friend; if the friend is a writer, he ends up kicking around with that script for a while.
I’m always trying to do weird things – when you have that part of your mission statement as an actor, half of that stuff that ends up being made is probably garbage.

The fact is, in Mike Huckabee’s case, he can say, ‘I was a preacher, I’m a Christian, and so I believe that life begins at conception, ends at natural death.’

For me, a good season is one that ends with a trophy.
If I was a state, I would like to see education left to the schools themselves, but I don’t want the federal government involved in education. I think that it ends up setting standards that cost you time and money and don’t make any difference in education. I want to stop that.
In 1945, when the Second World War technically ends in Poland, the incoming Soviet army liberates some groups of people but begins to oppress the general population, in some ways more harshly than it had happened before.

What makes me sad about school is that the people who are unhappy are unhappy because they don’t believe it will change. And I just want to say: ‘It does! High school ends and it’s over.’ I will tell anyone that it’s OK to be unhappy at school, make lots of mistakes and then it will be over.
He who looks in the crystal ball ends up eating glass… They’re way, way close.
Some of our stuff ends up looking too corporate. I’m going to be a lot stricter from now on.

I think we often live at a surface level, and that ends up with us in a lot of difficulty because we just function on assumptions and secondhand knowledge.

I am a literary animal. For me, everything ends in literature.
I am planning my one woman show. It will be a showcase of my life. It starts at the beginning and ends where I am today. It will have every single inch of my life – as much as you can get into an hour. I will be touring everywhere.
There are a whole lot of little tales told in ‘Presumed Innocent,’ whether it’s about the Hobberly kid, who was an important witness who ends up assassinated, or an accountant named Marcy Lupino, who meets a horrible fate in a state penitentiary. There’s less of that in ‘Innocent,’ and deliberately so.
When I was in my early teens, I remember coming to the conclusion that your life never ends.

A lot of people in this country right now are living with multiple generations under one roof, struggling to make ends meet.
One of the things psychologists used to say was that if you are depressed, anxious or angry, you couldn’t be happy. Those were at opposite ends of a continuum. I believe that you can be suffering or have a mental illness and be happy – just not in the same moment that you’re sad.

In the long run, we shape our lives, and we shape ourselves. The process never ends until we die. And the choices we make are ultimately our own responsibility.
It is not history which uses men as a means of achieving – as if it were an individual person – its own ends. History is nothing but the activity of men in pursuit of their ends.
Instruction ends in the schoolroom, but education ends only with life. A child is given to the universe to be educated.
I think a lot about how ideas spread, how information spreads, why is it that something you’re really proud of and you spend a lot of time creating sometimes doesn’t go anywhere, and something that you kind of do on the side, on a lark, ends up getting shared and passed around and having this big impact.
An opera begins long before the curtain goes up and ends long after it has come down. It starts in my imagination, it becomes my life, and it stays part of my life long after I’ve left the opera house.
Being busy does not always mean real work. The object of all work is production or accomplishment and to either of these ends there must be forethought, system, planning, intelligence, and honest purpose, as well as perspiration. Seeming to do is not doing.

Media outlets that are exploiting Ebola because they want a sensational story and politicians using it to their own ends ought to be ashamed.

I just don’t think of myself as a star. This is what I do for a living; I’m fortunate that I make ends meet.
You get really scrappy when you’re making things for zero dollars, and you just have to keep thinking like that. It’s not like, ‘Oh, we now have a little bit more money, let’s do things differently.’ If you just keep boiling it down to the simplest possible way to make it, I think that always ends up being the best.
You know those movies where the people in the audience are screaming, ‘Don’t go in that door!’ because you know the killer is there? Well, it is the same thing with this debt. We know how this ends.

No athlete ever ends his or her career the way you want to. We all want to play forever. But it doesn’t work that way. Accepting the end gracefully is part of being a professional athlete.

That a friendship ends doesn’t mean it was weak from the outset; that it ends says nothing about its importance.
Reformation ends not in contemplation, but in action.
When I do a movie, I have the script. I know how it begins and how it ends. I know what my character does and where he’s going. If I have ideas I want to express or changes I want to make, there’s one guy: the director. It’s different in television.

Cakes are special. Every birthday, every celebration ends with something sweet, a cake, and people remember. It’s all about the memories.
I’m not a fan of grilling meat, since that tends to dry it out, and I find grill marks leave a bitter taste. A good steak house will offer different options for preparation, and I would ask them to broil or pan-roast the steak and finish it with butter. It ends up a dark chocolate color and stays very juicy.
My mother always wanted to be an actress. She was an extra in movies and stuff. I have a feeling this is the classic story: The mother wants to be an actress, and the child ends up doing it. But it was never a jealousy thing between us. It was like – well, I was making my mom happy.
No one’s built like me. I play 110% on both ends of the floor.

If privacy ends where hypocrisy begins, Kitty Kelley’s steamy expose is a contribution to contemporary history.
Moral justification is a powerful disengagement mechanism. Destructive conduct is made personally and socially acceptable by portraying it in the service of moral ends. This is why most appeals against violent means usually fall on deaf ears.
I wouldn’t say I’m the best player. On the competitive level, I am the best competitor. I don’t think there’s anybody like me. I play my heart out on both ends of the floor, and I give my all.
I love to collaborate! That’s totally my preference. And I feel like everything I do ends up being that way.
The reason I write romance is that I like happy endings. The idea, you know, ‘It’s not literature unless is ends badly,’ and I really don’t like that. There’s enough misery and bad things happening in the world.
There is no upside to making a disparaging remark about a colleague. If your remark is accurate, everybody already knows it, so there’s no need to point it out. If your remark is inaccurate, you’re the one who ends up looking like a jerk.
I always like stories where the egg ends up on my face.
The battle to win – on the pitch and in the boardroom – begins and ends in one’s head.
