We need to drive down requirements for the schools. In the 19th century we increased the quality of the schools by higher education saying 'You can't come in unless you have these skills unless you've taken these courses.' We did that in Wisconsin when I was there it helped to transform the secondary school system.
I have two luxuries to brood over in my walks your loveliness and the hour of my death. O that I could have possession of them both in the same minute.
I never saw my dad cry. My son saw me cry. My dad never told me he loved me and consequently I told Scott I loved him every other minute. The point is I'll make less mistakes than my dad my sons hopefully will make less mistakes than me and their sons will make less mistakes than their dads.
And I love Mel Brooks. My Dad loved his movies too they're awesome the kind of thing that if you're in for ten minutes you're in for two hours.
Courage is fear holding on a minute longer.
It's a really cool time for artists who want to strive for a little more depth in what they want to say to come forward. We live in a very fast world right now. We've got all this media and music which is so accessible to us it's here one minute gone the next.
I think its so cool that you can pick up the guitar and create something that didn't exist 5 minutes ago. You can write something that no ones ever heard before. You have music at your fingertips.
Keep in mind that there are computers that do touch things up. Like when I got a hold of the poster for 'Gold Diggers ' I said: 'Hey wait a minute! Those aren't my teeth!'
Civilization grew in the beginning from the minute that we had communication - particularly communication by sea that enabled people to get inspiration and ideas from each other and to exchange basic raw materials.
One of the most important things that I did to turn my life around was to realize and to accept that from this minute that's all we have. Everything that happened behind us we cannot change so you might as well look to the future.
When I joined Bill Clinton's start-up presidential campaign in 1991 I was confident that women would play an ever more important role but I never gave a minute's thought to what would happen if we won. When we did - and I became the first woman to serve as White House press secretary - it changed my life. But it didn't change the world.
I hope everyone that is reading this is having a really good day. And if you are not just know that in every new minute that passes you have an opportunity to change that.
I remember things that happened sixty years ago but if you ask me where I left my car keys five minutes ago that's sometimes a problem.
I will stay in the car until the last minute that I'm going to jump out and do a standup or jump out and do some interviews.
On the average I don't spend more than 15 minutes in the car - to go to the golf course or the gym. And that's the only time I listen to the radio.
I read murder mysteries. I exercise 40 minutes a day. I watch videotapes while I exercise. I listen to audiotapes when I am in my car. And I try to stay in three different centuries.
A business like acting is 90% luck. You can be a star one minute and out of work the next.
The best argument against democracy is a five-minute conversation with the average voter.
Beauty lasts five minutes. Maybe longer if you have a good plastic surgeon.
Beauty is unbearable drives us to despair offering us for a minute the glimpse of an eternity that we should like to stretch out over the whole of time.
If you go on stage with the wrong attitude or something in your performance is off you can lose an audience in the first minute. That first minute is crucial.
The minute you try to talk business with him he takes the attitude that he is a gentleman and a scholar and the moment you try to approach him on the level of his moral integrity he starts to talk business.
My general attitude to life is to enjoy every minute of every day. I never do anything with a feeling of 'Oh God I've got to do this today.'
Actually I think Art lies in both directions - the broad strokes big picture but on the other hand the minute examination of the apparently mundane. Seeing the whole world in a grain of sand that kind of thing.
When money and hype recede from the art world one thing I won't miss will be what curator Francesco Bonami calls the 'Eventocracy.' All this flashy 'art-fair art' and those highly produced space-eating spectacles and installations wow you for a minute until you move on to the next adrenaline event.
