Have patience. All things are difficult before they become easy.

I think most artists create out of despair. The very nature of creation is not a performing glory on the outside it's a painful difficult search within.

Complex statistically improbable things are by their nature more difficult to explain than simple statistically probable things.

Nobody was listening when I learned how to play music. But there's something about being on stage talking to the audience looking at them and smiling that's always been difficult for me. I'm a lot more comfortable now but there are still moments of awkwardness.

I think the difficult thing is the transition between TV competition series and going into the actual music industry. There still seems to be a slight disconnect there.

I started getting these attacks in 2009 just as my music career was taking off. I'd be doing photo-shoots and started to feel like I was having heart attacks. Increasingly I found it difficult to step outside my flat. Things started to get better after I saw a therapist who told me I needed to make peace with my panic attacks.

Music is my shining light my favorite thing in the world. T get me to stop doing it for one second would be difficult!

I think what made it difficult for people to get and still makes it difficult for people to get is the theatrical nature of the work and the fact that my music doesn't exist without the performance-art element.

I find playwriting to be incredibly difficult compared to screenwriting. Part of it is that I grew up watching movies and not watching plays.

I'm intrigued by films that have a singular vision behind them. A lot of studio movies have ten writers by the time they're done. You have a movie testing 200 times making adjustments according to various people's opinions. It's difficult to have an undistilled vision.

In movies there are some things the French do that Americans are increasingly incapable of doing. One is honoring the complexities of youth. It's a quiet difficult undertaking requiring subtlety in a filmmaker and perception and patience from us.

The more unique your film is and unusual it is and difficult it is the harder it is to get it financed. That's why a lot of good filmmakers are doing television. They do HBO movies.

It's difficult to do a genre film well and it doesn't matter if you're talking vampire movies or 'Dawn of the Dead' or 'The Thing' or 'Escape From New York.' Those kind of movies they understand what the old-school B-movie is supposed to be they get the throwback of it.

I cry a lot you know. Which is very difficult for a man to recognise but I do. I cry in movies you know just watching movies.

Making movies is difficult and you get disorientated sometimes - even when you're working with fantastic talent.

I wanted to do another movie that could make us laugh and cry and feel good about the world. I wanted to do something else that could make us smile. This is a time when we need to smile more and Hollywood movies are supposed to do that for people in difficult times.

I used to hear about guys who played saying how difficult it is getting up in the morning and now I'm experiencing it those same effects.

Ice skating is very difficult. It takes a lot of discipline and a lot of hard work. It's fun but you are there on the ice every morning freezing and trying to do these moves and these tricks.

I'll always remember when I bumped into Good Morning America's Robin Roberts on a flight to my mother's funeral in 1994 and how kind she was during that difficult time.

Waking up with a bad head in the morning is difficult sometimes.

My personality when tasked with creating meals goes something like this: Is there a way we can make this more difficult? Because let's do that. I don't mean to complicate things. It's just - why buy pre-packaged potato salad when you can spend your morning boiling potatoes and flipping out because there's no dill in the house?

I'll never forget one morning I walked in and I had a hell of a bruise - it had been a difficult night the night before - and a client said to me 'Good God Vidal what happened to your face?' And I said 'Oh nothing madam I just fell over a hairpin.'

Money is the seed of money and the first guinea is sometimes more difficult to acquire than the second million.

They see me as being this Super Mom on TV who also can more than handle a difficult husband and they assume I'm going to be just full of wisdom as a mother and wife myself.
