As a transgendered artist, I have always occupied a place outside of the mainstream. I have gladly paid a price for speaking my truth in the face of loathing and idiocy.
My dad is a writer, and to see him always in front of a typewriter gave me the inspiration to write. He was my idol, my hero. I wanted to be just like him.
To get overprotective about particular readings of the Bible is always in danger of idolatry.
I've always idolized people who can write songs.
I've always idolized Jay-Z He's one of my favorite persons, even before I knew him personally.
I have always idolized eccentric people.
I always idolized Zidane.
All the idols made by man, however terrifying they may be, are in point of fact subordinate to him, and that is why he will always have it in his power to destroy them.
Rural towns aren't always idyllic. It's easy to feel trapped and be aware of social hypocrisy.
I was always a happy and loving person. Many would say that I was living an idyllic life.
If I could always read, I should never feel the want of company.
Some cats, Iggy Pop, they're going to always have that hunger.
People always say, 'You look like Iggy Pop.'
For me, as a performer or a songwriter, Stevie Nicks is always a huge inspiration as well as Iggy Pop.
I loved stories as a kid, both being read to me and enjoying on my own. All these stories inspired my imagination, and that's what I have always aimed at doing for my readers: ignite their imaginations.
We actors are superstitious creatures. We do all the homework, and we put all of the components together, but there's always one key aspect that we're not in charge of, really, and that's magic. You are always on the lookout for where and how that magic is going to ignite.
Why can't death - if we must have it - be always glorious, as in 'The Iliad?'
Racists seem obsessed by the idea that illegal workers - the hardest-working, poorest people in America - are somehow getting away with something, sneaking goodies that should be for Americans. You can always avoid this problem by having no social services. This is the refreshing Texas model, and it works a treat.
It's illegitimate to talk about a post-scarcity Utopia without talking about questions of distribution. There have always been these Utopian predictions - 'electricity too cheap to meter' was the atomic promise of the 1950s.
I grew up among farmers in Illinois and so you always have to have the tools you might need in the eventuality of a flat tire or a broken window.
