Doing nothing is very hard to do… you never know when you’re finished.
Who has fully realized that history is not contained in thick books but lives in our very blood?
A lady‘s imagination is very rapid; it jumps from admiration to love, from love to matrimony in a moment.
The world is changing very fast. Big will not beat small anymore. It will be the fast beating the slow.
Since boredom advances and boredom is the root of all evil, no wonder, then, that the world goes backwards, that evil spreads. This can be traced back to the very beginning of the world. The gods were bored; therefore they created human beings.
I have very short hair. It’s the only cute haircut I think I’ve ever had.
I never had a policy; I have just tried to do my very best each and every day.
I wasn’t close to my father, but I wanted to be all my life. He had a funny sense of humor, and he laughed all the time – good and loud, like I do. He was a gay Irish gentleman and very good-looking. And he wanted to be close to me, too, but we never had much time together.
The only normal people are the ones you don’t know very well.
There is no better time than now, this very Christmas season, for all of us to rededicate ourselves to the principles taught by Jesus the Christ. It is the time to love the Lord, our God, with all our heart – and our neighbors as ourselves.
Loneliness is always there, it’s a phase that comes and goes and it is a very difficult phase.
The real cure for our environmental problems is to understand that our job is to salvage Mother Nature. We are facing a formidable enemy in this field. It is the hunters… and to convince them to leave their guns on the wall is going to be very difficult.

I am a very private person. No one ever knows anything about me as I don’t think it is necessary. I tell people as much as I want them to know about me.
I have been to hell and back. I had a very, very bad nervous breakdown.
Never forget: This very moment, we can change our lives. There never was a moment, and never will be, when we are without the power to alter our destiny. This second, we can turn the tables on Resistance. This second, we can sit down and do our work.
If an elderly but distinguished scientist says that something is possible, he is almost certainly right; but if he says that it is impossible, he is very probably wrong.
I’m a very private person. My life story isn’t for everybody.

Learning to fly an airplane taught me a way of thinking, an approach to problem-solving that was applicable and effective. Pilots are very methodical and meticulous, and artists tend not to be.
It’s very hard to get together with your friends. You rarely see friends as a whole group.
I have a mole in my eye, which is a very specific thing.
It’s very true that you can be both selfless and selfish at the same time. What we tend towards, particularly in filmmaking, is this binary sort of, ‘This is a good guy, this is a bad guy.’ And I quite like the fact that life is a bit more complex than that.
