I think it's been a little difficult at times for the audience because they've told me they see me as a family member. So to see your little sister sing about sex... I think they are pretty used to it now.

I just want to be healthy and stay alive and keep my family going and everything and keep my friends going and try to do something so that this world will be peaceful. That is the most ambitious and the most difficult thing but I'm there trying to do it.

It seems to me that unless you or someone very close to you has had a bad head injury you really can't fathom it. You have no concept of what it is all about. It was so difficult for my whole family not just me.

The most difficult is the first family to bring someone out of the world.

Greece's European neighbors were able step in and bolster the weak foundation on which Greece's free-spending budget was based.

Humor has always been important to me. If there is a shield of faith that you can keep up against difficulties humor is the Teflon coating.

I guess my religious faith sustained me more than anything else. Family is also very important. If I didn't have children it would have been too difficult. Even if you are strong you still need people who would support you all the way.

My faith is an important part of my life and over the years I've learnt that it takes a proud man to say he doesn't need anything. It has been a quiet strength and a backbone through a lot of difficult times.

Over the years my mother's steadfast faith in God has inspired me particularly when I had to perform extremely difficult surgical procedures or when I found myself faced with my own medical scare.

May it not be that just as we have to have faith in Him God has to have faith in us and considering the history of the human race so far may it not be that 'faith' is even more difficult for Him than it is for us?

The difficulties we face originate from one of three sources. Some are sent to us by the Lord to test our faith others are the result of Satan's attacks and still others are due to our own sinful choices.

Getting ahead in a difficult profession requires avid faith in yourself. That is why some people with mediocre talent but with great inner drive go so much further than people with vastly superior talent.

My Brat Pack buddies and I didn't exactly handle celebrity very well. Success at an early age is far more difficult to handle than failure.

Coming to terms with the fact that my marriage was a failure was devastating and very difficult.

I find writing very difficult. It's hard and it hurts sometimes and it's scary because of the fear of failure and the very unpleasant feeling that you may have reached the limit of your abilities.

To harmonize the One with the Many this is indeed a difficult adjustment perhaps the most difficult of all and so important withal that nations have perished from their failure to achieve it.

For families across the UK who are income-poor but more than that whose lives are blighted by worklessness educational failure family breakdown problem debt and poor health as well as other problems giving them an extra pound - say through increased benefits - will not address the reason they find themselves in difficulty in the first place.

It is not because the truth is too difficult to see that we make mistakes... we make mistakes because the easiest and most comfortable course for us is to seek insight where it accords with our emotions - especially selfish ones.

The course of the flight up and down was exceedingly erratic partly due to the irregularity of the air and partly to lack of experience in handling this machine. The control of the front rudder was difficult on account of its being balanced too near the center.

I decided blacks should not have to experience the difficulties I had faced so I decided to open a flying school and teach other black women to fly.

Making movies is a very different experience in a lot of ways. It's difficult when you're used to owning the copyright and having a landlord's possessory rights - I rent my plays to the companies that do them and if I'm upset I can pull the play. But the only two directors I've worked with are pretty great.
