- Nov 07, 2020
I have very specific advice for aspiring writers: go to New York. And if you can't go to New York, go to the place that represents New York to you, where the standards for writing are high, there are other people who share your dreams, and where you can talk, talk, talk about your interests.
- Brave
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
As for advice for aspiring authors, the best I can give is to be brave. It sounds like a simple enough thing, but it's not. Rejection is such an integral part of this journey, and it never goes away.
- Democracy

- Nov 07, 2020
The aspiring tyrants of today have not forgotten the lesson of 1933: that acts of terror - real or fake, provoked or accidental - can provide the occasion to deal a death blow to democracy.
- End
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
It is aspiring tyrants who say that 'civil liberties end when an attack on our safety begins.' Conversely, leaders who wish to preserve the rule of law find other ways to speak about real terrorist threats, and certainly do not invent them or deliberately make them worse.

- |

- Hair
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
My teeth are all right, but they are not American teeth, and my hair is not thick and luscious. Los Angeles is dense with beautiful people, and most of the men who are aspiring actors are 5ft 5in, so I tower above them.
- Focus
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I wanted to be Brooke Shields, and my mother was an aspiring photographer, so I was, of course, the only one who would sit still long enough for her to get things in focus, and I loved doing that.
- Heaven
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Heaven and God are not high above us, far away; they are deep within us. Heaven is not a distant country where there are trees and houses and other objects; it is a plane of consciousness within us. Seekers of the eternal Truth will realise their eternal Heaven within their aspiring hearts.
- Never Give Up
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
As aspiring athletes, you should never give up on your dreams. Just believe in yourself, and everything will be possible.
- End
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
The Kosovars were granted autonomy at the end of World War II, but then aspiring president Milosevic had the autonomy revoked in 1989, and the Dayton Accords of 1995, which ended the recent war in Bosnia and Croatia, failed to address the issue of Kosovo's status.
- Goals
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
For aspiring actors out there, I would say stay focused and don't let anyone pull you away from your goals. Shoot for the stars so that if you ever fall short you can land on the clouds.

My father was an aspiring country singer and songwriter. He just didn't get that off that ground. I was afraid, very tentative to do anything with music for years.

- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Growing up in the mid-to-late '90s in London, you start seeing the explosion of drum'n'bass and then the birth of U.K. garage and grime. I decided to focus a lot of my energies as an aspiring MC. It was a very natural way to express yourself as a kid from a certain kind of neighborhood.
- Fight
- |
- Nov 07, 2020

- Children
- |
- Nov 07, 2020

- Love
- |
- Nov 07, 2020

- Learning
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I always tell aspiring documentary filmmakers, 'You have to go into it because you love it; if you go into it for the money, you're an idiot.'

- Nov 07, 2020
My ultimate crush may be Judith McNaught - I met her once more than 20 years ago, and she was incredibly kind and encouraging to me. I adore that woman. But I also fangirl over aspiring or beginning authors, because every time I talk with them, I'm so energized and inspired.
- Must
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I think most Americans would agree that we need sensible solutions that fix our immigration system and deal humanely with aspiring citizens currently in our country. At the same time, these solutions must increase the security of our borders.

- |
- Nov 07, 2020
America's soldiery, like its war dead, comes disproportionately from its southern states and from its aspiring poor - both white and black.
- Life
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I've been so lucky, received so much help and inspiration in my life, so I want to help give aspiring North Koreans a chance to prosper with international support.
- Experience
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
People were being so mean as a result of my ability - a gift, really. So I think that's what makes me fight harder to provide an option to aspiring kids or artists. I wouldn't want anyone to go through what I went through... to see a little girl or a little dancer experience such unnecessary rejection.
- Family
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I'm not in the business of becoming famous. And that's the advice I give to younger aspiring actors. Work onstage and do the little roles. In the end it's not important to be seen. It's important to do. There's a lot of disappointment in this business, but my family keeps me grounded.
- Acting
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Acting is really not what I'm interested in. I'm not an aspiring actor and you should be able to tell.
- Big
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
My advice to aspiring writers of fantasy trilogies or series is that each book needs two main plots. There's the 'big story', the over-arching grand plot of the entire series, and there is the complete-in-itself, one-book plot.
- Being
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I grew up in a home where animals were ever-present and often dominated our lives. There were always horses, dogs, and cats, as well as a revolving infirmary of injured wildlife being nursed by my sister the aspiring vet.

I actually have, in all seriousness, in the back of my mind someday to write a book, the title of which would be 'Quit Now and Other Practical Advice for the Aspiring Actor.'
- Comfort
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
'Shun security,' I advise aspiring novelists when they complain to me that they are stuck. 'Get disoriented. Maybe your agonizing writing block isn't agonizing enough. Your enemy is comfort.'
- Environment
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
It's not easy making a living as a writer, and for many years I worked at a Waterstones in Dublin. It was a good environment for an aspiring writer, with lots of events and authors appearing.
- Day
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
It is essential that we put an end to steroid abuse and set a better example for aspiring young athletes to follow, so that some day, when they make it in the All Star Game, it will be because of their own natural talents, and not because of a performance enhancing product.
- Life
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
The only advice I can give to aspiring writers is don't do it unless you're willing to give your whole life to it. Red wine and garlic also helps.
- Life
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I think that society is aspiring towards racial indifference, but the reality of life is not that. And so when you meet someone, you can see their race - it's right there on their face - and I feel like it's interesting.
- People
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
My advice to an aspiring actor would be to never stop learning or working for what you want. Nothing comes easy, ever, if you want something, you have to work for it.

- Friends
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Some of my educated Filipino friends were aspiring poets, but their aspirations were all in the direction of the United States.

- Hope
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I hope, for my generation and for children at high school aspiring to be rugby players, that they will hear the name Speight and associate it with rugby more than anything else.
- Beautiful Places
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Those in technology who can afford to stay in Silicon Valley all know it as one of the most beautiful places to live in the world, but a wariness has sunk in as folks from other walks of life are forced to leave: coffee shops are wall-to-wall with aspiring entrepreneurs, and restaurants buzz with talk of valuations and venture capital.
- Government
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I do think that the elections of 2010 and 2012 are going to determine the trajectory of the country. Either we're going to be aspiring and improving opportunities based on freedom and responsibility, or we're going to go down the path that dictates and mandates a dependency on government.
- Book
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
At any comic book convention in America, you'll find aspiring cartoonists with dozens of complex plot ideas and armloads of character sketches. Only a small percentage ever move from those ideas and sketches to a finished book.
- Music
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Gay men are accepted in films, music and politics because people came out and broke the mould and stereotype in those industries. What I am trying to do is break the trend in rugby and sport in general and show any aspiring sportsman, regardless of his age, that the mould has been broken.
- Football
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Being a woman is of special interest only to aspiring male transsexuals. To actual women, it is simply a good excuse not to play football.
- Inspiration
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I find it always pleasurable talking with young people, particularly those aspiring to be writers, out of nostalgia, and because I've always felt that we oldies can learn so much from them and draw from them inspiration in our flagging and rickety years.
- Dream
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Usefulness! It is not a fascinating word, and the quality is not one of which the aspiring spirit can dream o' nights, yet on the stage it is the first thing to aim at.
- Own
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
If I could say anything to aspiring writers, it's to keep your own counsel, first and foremost.
- Never
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
When you're an aspiring actor, you do so many self-tapes that it gets to a certain point where you have to develop a thick skin, otherwise you will never survive.
- Felt
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
As a young aspiring journalist, I felt I was put into a box.
- Father
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Nan Gorman was born in Memphis, Tenn., on St. Patrick's Day. She moved to Hazard in 1929 when her father, James Hagan, a recent medical school graduate and aspiring surgeon, went to work there.
- Life
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
With my somewhat vague aspiring mind, to be imprisoned in the rude details of a most material life was often irksome.
- Guest Star
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I remember we would get young, aspiring actors to come on '77 Sunset Strip' - I remember George Kennedy was one of those - and they would do a big guest star part, a lead, and they'd be paid maybe $850.
- Past
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
We as a club should be aspiring to have the best players playing for us. We’ve had that in the past. We’re in for players if the manager wants to be.
- Look
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
When I was aspiring to play for India, I'd look at the Ricky Pontings and the Matthew Haydens and think they were very intimidating.
- Live
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Well, to aspiring writers, I would tell them that we live in a wonderful time where you're able to make your work visible, easily.
- Being
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
It's very motivating, very aspiring to have the knowledge of me being able to be successful so young and have players go out of their way to talk about me.
- Chance
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
The chance to interact with big shots is drawing scads of aspiring entrepreneurs to Quora, along with venture capitalists and other Valley players.
- I Am
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
As someone of Korean descent, I am certain my road was a bit hard. I have to say anyone who's an aspiring actor has a difficult road regardless of race.
- Fans
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
A lot of artists are aspiring to fill an archetype as opposed to being themselves. Even if they can’t quite put their finger on it, fans can tell.
- Best
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
The single best piece of advice I give to aspiring writers is to always write about things that they know. I suggest that they write about people and places and events and conflicts they are familiar with. That way their writing will be real and hopefully readers will respond to it. I try to take my own advice.
- Feel
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Being on stage is a seductive lifestyle. My advice to aspiring actors is think twice. People sometimes go into acting for the wrong reasons - as a shortcut to fame and fortune. If these goals are not attained, they feel a bitter disappointment.
- People
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I'm always amused when people point out that Benjamin's naivety about the publishing process is just so unbelievable in Starborn #1 since, of course, no aspiring writer in reality could ever be so naive.
- Meetings
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Every week, I take two phone calls or meetings with an aspiring producer or director.
- Me
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
When aspiring writers ask me about how they should target their writing, I tell them to pay no attention to that kind of thing. It will restrict you. You will end up falling into stereotypes in an effort to tailor your work toward a perceived genre category.
- How
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Literary interviews are inevitably packed with the nuts and bolts of how writers do their work, and there's very little that aspiring writers do more readily than fling other people's nuts and bolts into their toolboxes.
- Chance
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Increasingly, staying in the middle class - let alone aspiring to become middle class - is becoming a game of chance.
- Early 1990s
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
It was only in the early 1990s - during my student years as an aspiring scientist at Delhi University - that I discovered the world of cinema.
- Like
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
People like Pedro Infante, Jorge Negrete, Antonio Aguilar, Pedro Fernandez, Vicente Fernandez - these are probably all names that many people don't know, but they are very popular in the music industry. They were people that I grew up listening to and aspiring to be like one day.
- Ideal
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
In many ways, a degree in the history of ideas is the ideal training for an aspiring writer.
- Cell Phone
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
'Dial Star' is about an aspiring actress who finds the cell phone of AnnaLynne McCord and impersonates her.
- Change
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
At Venture for ,we've worked with hundreds of aspiring young entrepreneurs who want to build businesses and change things for the better.
- People
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I see a minimum living wage as a long-term solution, but I'm not sure that's my favorite. I think society benefits if all the human race is empowered and aspiring to do great things. Giving people the skill sets to do great things will take work.
- Never
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Like so many aspiring writers who still have boxes of things they've written in their parents' houses, I filled notebooks with half-finished poems and stories and first paragraphs of novels that never got written.
- Music
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I think it's important to remember that music supervision is not just about a fantastic record collection or knowledge of music, although that certainly helps for aspiring music supervisors.
- Men
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Pride is still aiming at the best houses: Men would be angels, angels would be gods. Aspiring to be gods, if angels fell; aspiring to be angels men rebel.
- Ideas
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
One of my top tips for aspiring entrepreneurs: Tell everyone you know about your idea. This runs contrary to the instinct that most people have, because they're afraid someone is going to 'steal my ideal.' Ideas alone are worth very little; it's in the execution and market feedback that companies are made.
