But I didn't ask to have somebody nose around in my private life. I didn't even ask to be famous. All I asked was to be able to earn a living making people laugh.

Barack Obama is the most famous living person in the history of the world.

I made my living being 20 or 30 pounds heavier than the average model. And that's where I got famous.

There were a few years there when I was just so enamored with the idea of living some sort of famous person's lifestyle that really isn't suited to me.

When I'm living in the world of luxury and celebrity which is where I found myself for a large part of my life it's a walk-on part. Not a vital necessity like it is for so many people. I enjoy it but I can see right through it!

I like playing music because it's a good living and I get satisfaction from it. But I can't feed my family with satisfaction.

By measuring the proportion of children living with the same parents from birth and whether their parents report a good quality relationship we are driving home the message that social programmes should promote family stability and avert breakdown.

I always wanted my music to influence the life you were living emotionally - with your family your lover your wife and at a certain point with your children.

I've never had a very closely connected family. My parents split up when I was young and I was living with my mom for a little while then I was kind of just on my own really young. It wasn't some kind of global tragedy it was just never really a very close-knit family. So there was support in the sense that they didn't stand in my way.

I have had lots of friends who've been affected by Aids and a very good friend of mine Oscar Moore died of Aids and I was with him in his last year quite a bit. And of course he was a man living in a very rich culture with a wealthy family who was able to afford health care.

Acting is just a way of making a living the family is life.

I think that in a year I may retire. I cannot take my money with me when I die and I wish to enjoy it with my family while I live. I should prefer living in Germany to any other country though I am an American and am loyal to my country.

I would like to be remembered as a man who had a wonderful time living life a man who had good friends fine family - and I don't think I could ask for anything more than that actually.

A family is a place where principles are hammered and honed on the anvil of everyday living.

It is easier to have faith that God will support each House of Hospitality and Farming Commune and supply our needs in the way of food and money to pay bills than it is to keep a strong hearty living faith in each individual around us - to see Christ in him.

One of the joys of being a Christian or being a person of faith is that you believe deep down that death isn't the worst thing you know. Not living your life: that's the worst thing. And death is not it's not all it's cracked up to be. It's not it's not the end of the world.

I stepped out on faith to follow my lifelong dream of being an author. I made real sacrifices and took big risks. But living it seems to me is largely about risk.

There are more people living in Lower Manhattan now than before the terrorist attacks. That's faith for you. There's such a strong spirit here.

But how odd that in this heathen nation of empty pews where churches' bare ruined choirs are converted into luxury loft living a Labour government - yes a Labour government - is deliberately creating a huge expansion of faith schools.

If faith produce no works I see That faith is not a living tree. Thus faith and works together grow No separate life they never can know. They're soul and body hand and heart What God hath joined let no man part.

Today we often think that before we start living a religious life we have first to accept the creedal doctrines and that before one can have any comprehension of the loyalty and trust of faith one must first force one's mind to accept a host of incomprehensible doctrines. But this is to put the cart before the horse.

I come now to tell you for what I am brought here to die and to give you an account of my faith which I shall do as in the sight of the living God before whom I am shortly to stand.

And that's the great thing about living the Christian life and trying to live by faith is you're trying to get better every day. You're trying to improve.

If there was no faith there would be no living in this world. We could not even eat hash with any safety.
