There was no relationship between a wedding dress and fashion. There was no good taste either. I realized that I could make an impression in terms of changing and readdressing the whole industry of bridal.

I've only recently realized that I have a radically different relationship with my parents than a lot of people.

I can't cultivate a relationship with my child if it's between takes. I tried that on a movie and realized 'This is not going to work.' It will work some of the year but not 12 months a year.

Almost all first ladies have had tremendous power on personnel issues whether the public realized it or not whether it was Barbara Bush or Nancy Reagan or whoever.

Let us realize that: the privilege to work is a gift the power to work is a blessing the love of work is success!

You have power over your mind - not outside events. Realize this and you will find strength.

If you realized how powerful your thoughts are you would never think a negative thought.

I really believe that's one of the many reasons that God had put me right in the middle of the Backstreet Boys. There are so many stars today that don't realize the impact they have on young people. Being a superstar is great as long as you can be a positive role model.

I've realized the extraordinary power of sports to heal unite and inspire. I believe the Olympics will serve as the ultimate platform to provide positive changes and I hope to inspire all of Japan through my strong showing there.

I realize I will always be the poster child for police brutality but I can try to use that as a positive force for healing and restraint.

I realize myself that hate wastes a lot of time and energy and I would rather re-direct any energy that I have to good and positive use.

If the amount of money going into the war economy were invested in landscape restoration we would be in a far more positive position. It may get a little dire before we pull together but I think when the prosperous nations and in particular the U.S. realize they're wrecking their own kids' lives there will be a mass change in value.

I like to encourage people to realize that any action is a good action if it's proactive and there is positive intent behind it.

As I've gotten older I've gotten more liberal and my father is increasingly conservative. It's so shocking to me because I always thought we had the same politics. The day I realized we voted for different presidents I practically fell out of my chair.

If we tried to write about politics you'd realize that we're all a bunch of idiots.

I will go to the next election saying to Australians vote for me vote for the Liberal Party and I will become your PM. So I'm offering myself as the alternative PM - that's one way people describe the Leader of the Opposition - but I'm not in politics for myself to realize a personal ambition.

The more that I know of politics the more it makes me realize that being a politician is largely useless.

You realize that for all the shenanigans that go on in the big circus of politics everybody wakes up and goes to work.

Politics I supposed to be the second-oldest profession. I have come to realize that it bears a very close resemblance to the first.

Poetry's always dead you know? You don't realize how good poetry is until 15 years later.

I realized poetry's the thing that I can do 'cause I can stick at it and work with tremendous intensity.

I've written poetry since I was in the first grade and it wasn't until I was a little bit older that I realized poetry could be put to music and become a song.

I never thought I'd be doing poetry books. I never really studied poetry. But the first one I did was after my mother died and I realized that people sort of think and talk about her style and fashion but in fact what made her the person she was was really her love of reading and ideas.

You know people speak in poetry all the time. They just don't realize it.
