I was warned not to do it. Actors who play Jesus are supposed to have a hard time getting other roles to follow, but I felt this was a myth. After all, how can you be typecast as Christ?
It's hard to lose when your standards are so low.
The only thing that overcomes hard luck is hard work.
It would be very hard to bring a wife to Afghanistan. In America, I'd have no problem with her doing whatever she wanted, but in Afghanistan, that's not the case.
I just go out every day and try to work hard.
Your greatest creation is yourself. Like any great work of art, creating a great self means putting in hard work, every day, for years.
If you read the novel, you have expectations. And, if you've seen something first, it's just hard to do.
It is hard to overstate the debt that we owe to men and women of genius.
When you work really hard for something for a long time it's almost impossible to believe that it's coming true.
It's really hard to make something that doesn't sound like everything else.
Die Hard 2 was okay. It was a little outside the template but it was okay, a hard movie to make technically. Did well at the box office. Successful.

The hard thing about death is that nothing ever changes. The hard thing about life is that nothing stays the same.
Hard work leads to low returns. Insight and doing what we want lead to high returns.
Befriending provides a valuable lifeline to many people who feel isolated in their communities often as a result of ill health or poverty. I would like to thank all those who volunteer as befrienders and I hope that your numbers will increase in coming years. Your kindness and hard work is, I know, very much appreciated by those you help.

I remember listening to the radio as a kid and finding that the songs always made me feel more peaceful. Funny, but the more hurtin' the music was, the better it made me feel.
