I began my career with infantile dreams of becoming a composer.

I think basically becoming famous has taken the place of going to Heaven in modern society hasn't it? That's the place where your dreams will come true. It's an act of faith now they think that's going to sort things out.

You control your future your destiny. What you think about comes about. By recording your dreams and goals on paper you set in motion the process of becoming the person you most want to be. Put your future in good hands - your own.

There's a joy and a pain about directing where the dreams you have are becoming concrete but the attention to detail the need for time is such that it's overwhelming at times and the stream of responsibility.

The situation in the United States is becoming more dire for average ordinary Americans and the last thing we need to do is to spend money on death destruction and war.

The death of anti-gay hate speech is no doubt being hastened by the head-spinning speed with which gays as a group - to say nothing of gay marriage - are becoming an unremarkable and even quite traditional parts of American life.

The death penalty is becoming a way of life in this country.

Life is a process of becoming a combination of states we have to go through. Where people fail is that they wish to elect a state and remain in it. This is a kind of death.

Although becoming a singer was my plan A after first hearing Whitney Houston when I was 17 I started off with plan B by going to the teacher-training college that my dad went to. It was a slow coming of age.

I am an obsessive garage cleaner - my wife and the neighbors make fun of me. I remember that my father was the same way and now when I'm out there unearthing things in the garage I realize I am becoming my dad!

I had my heart set on becoming an English teacher but stumbled into acting after meeting a theatrical agent in my dad's restaurant in San Diego.

The only time I think about life beyond F1 is when I contemplate becoming a dad. But there's no way that's going to happen while I'm still racing. To be successful in F1 you need to be very selfish in lots of ways and you're away from home for long periods. That's not the kind of father I want to be.

Becoming a dad means you have to be a role model for your son and be someone he can look up to.

Becoming a dad was the proudest moment of my life. Playing football does not even compare.

I was 35 years old and in a position to take a shot at whatever I wanted to try. The Air Force said I was too old to fly fighter jets. I thought about becoming a fishing boat captain before deciding that acting seemed pretty cool.

It's really cool to see glowsticks at the show to see dance music culture infiltrating and becoming one with the metal community.

Theaters are always going to be around and doing fine. With computers and technology we're becoming more and more secluded from each other. And the movie theater is one of the last places where we can still gather and experience something together. I don't think the desire for that magic will ever go away.

On the other hand in a society whose communication component is becoming more prominent day by day both as a reality and as an issue it is clear that language assumes a new importance.

When characters change on screen it makes you feel better about yourself. You think 'Oh I change too I'm constantly becoming a better person.'

Becoming a mother cannot help but change things. An author's life is reflected in their writing whether they want it to be or not and parenthood is one of the biggest life changes there is.

You can close more business in two months by becoming interested in other people than you can in two years by trying to get people interested in you.

Information technology and business are becoming inextricably interwoven. I don't think anybody can talk meaningfully about one without the talking about the other.

I think we risk becoming the best informed society that has ever died of ignorance.

Priests are not men of the world it is not intended that they should be and a University training is the one best adapted to prevent their becoming so.
