Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well-preserved body.
Aim for the moon. If you miss, you may hit a star.
Never take counsel of your fears.
Live your life, do your work, then take your hat.
You only get one chance at life and you have to grab it boldly.
If you want to conquer fear, don't sit home and think about it. Go out and get busy.
Life's too short, you know? If you find something you love and that other people love, why not do it?
I'm a director because I directed a movie. And if I have any advice for people, it's, 'Go write something; go direct it. If that's what you have a desire to do, go do it. If the movie stinks, just put it on the shelf and try to do it again.'
Forget safety. Live where you fear to live. Destroy your reputation. Be notorious.
Go as far as you can see; when you get there you'll be able to see farther.
When I say about 'dream is free,' I don't only mean about basketball or to be in the NBA like Serge Ibaka. No. I mean in general, in anything you do. You can do anything you want, anything you dream about. You can do it. You just have to know the dream is free. And dream is free for everybody.
Attempt easy tasks as if they were difficult, and difficult as if they were easy; in the one case that confidence may not fall asleep, in the other that it may not be dismayed.
Being comfortable isn't the way to learn to expand your abilities.
Life is fragile. We're not guaranteed a tomorrow so give it everything you've got.
Keep your feet on the ground, but let your heart soar as high as it will. Refuse to be average or to surrender to the chill of your spiritual environment.
The whole point is to live life and be - to use all the colors in the crayon box.
You should set goals beyond your reach so you always have something to live for.
Keep true to the dreams of your youth.
My advice to new artists is to not follow a trend, but to start one. By that, I mean to not be tempted to do what business people might suggest to you, to jump on the bandwagon, but to be strong.
Do what you fear and fear disappears.
You can't put your feet on the ground until you've touched the sky.
My greatest mistake is that my dreams were too small.
Don't live down to expectations. Go out there and do something remarkable.
As an artist, you want to stretch. That's the only way you're going to grow. If I stay inside my comfort zone, do roles that I've done before, then I'm never going to get better as an actress.
Life has to be a roller coaster ride. Otherwise, what's the point of living? Why should I make a song and dance about mine?
