I never in my wildest imagination dreamed that I would somehow become a sports commentator.

If we divine a discrepancy between a man's words and his character the whole impression of him becomes broken and painful he revolts the imagination by his lack of unity and even the good in him is hardly accepted.

An opera begins long before the curtain goes up and ends long after it has come down. It starts in my imagination it becomes my life and it stays part of my life long after I've left the opera house.

Do not quench your inspiration and your imagination do not become the slave of your model.

I'm not a traditional politician and I have a sense of humor. I'll try to soften it and become boring maybe even very boring but I'm not sure if I'll be able to.

Humor has become so cliche and boring that nothing's funny anymore unless it involves something totally disgusting that offends somebody or makes them feel really uncomfortable.

Humor helps ease the tension of race and the differences in society. If there wasn't comedy I don't know if Obama could have ever become president.

The nation that complacently and fearfully allows its artists and writers to become suspected rather than respected is no longer regarded as a nation possessed with humor or depth.

It's continuously humbling to work hard you know? As long as you've got a good work ethic and a sense of humor I don't think anybody can become too much of an egoist under those circumstances.

Absurdity is what I like most in life and there's humor in struggling in ignorance. If you saw a man repeatedly running into a wall until he was a bloody pulp after a while it would make you laugh because it becomes absurd.

Get well cards have become so humorous that if you don't get sick you're missing half the fun.

I hope that my investment into Atomico will become my best financial investment to date.

President Obama chose politics over leadership. 'Hope' and 'Change' have become bait-and-switch.

I hope that America as a whole and especially its architects will become more seriously involved in producing a new architectural culture that would bring the nation to the apex - where it has stood before - and lead the world.

We're in an emergency situation. The United States has become an absolutely terrifying country and I would hope that I could participate in some way in stopping the horror and the brutality.

I don't remember deciding to become a writer. You decide to become a dentist or a postman. For me writing is like being gay. You finally admit that this is who you are you come out and hope that no one runs away.

I have taken this step because I want the discipline the fire and the authority of the Church. I am hopelessly unworthy of it but I hope to become worthy.

You have to have hope. It's irresponsible to give false hope which I think a lot of playwrights are guilty of. But I also think it's irresponsible to simply be a nihilist which quite a lot of playwrights especially playwrights younger than me have become guilty of.

I don't want to say never but I hope I don't become that 'take me seriously now' guy.

When you are kind to someone in trouble you hope they'll remember and be kind to someone else. And it'll become like a wildfire.

I suppose if I'd got a brilliant first and done research I might still be a don today but I hope not. People become dons because they are incapable of doing anything else in life.

Is Israel going to continue to be 'Fortress Israel'? Or as we all hope become accepted into the neighborhood which I believe is the only way we can move forward in harmony.

In between films I like to travel and hope to visit every continent before I become a mother.

If we become too scared to confront the chief problems of our time there is no hope of ever solving them.
