My personal challenge as an artist has been having a day job which is intellectually satisfying and fun - and thus can easily supplant the desire to make art.
My day one fans - my fans from my mix tape days - know my life now. They know where I've been. You don't want to have a disconnection with those fans. You have to give them all of you because they feel like they've known you.
Not knowing my birthday had never seemed strange. I knew I'd been born near the end of September, and each year I picked a day, one that didn't fall on a Sunday because it's no fun spending your birthday in church.
Jobs are central to the American dream - and President Obama has focused on jobs from day one.
I considered myself engaged in a war from Day One. And my objective was to force the federal government - the Kennedy administration at that time - into a position where they would have to use the United States military force to enforce my rights as a citizen.
Since day one, since the first time I touched the pen, I wanted to be the best at what I do.
I have carried the burden of my dad's image since day one. They never see me as just another guy trying to make his career in the film industry. I am always 'Megastar' Chiranjeevi's son first, and Ram Charan only later.
I been me from day one, I'm not ‘bout to start acting different, talking different, treating people different, or looking different.
I want to thank my momma for pulling up. I want to thank my boys who was with me since day one; thank you for pulling up on me.
One day, one of my dreams is to someday get to do Nemo in '20,000 Leagues Under the Sea.'
The first day one is a guest, the second a burden, and the third a pest.
Just build your brand from day one, man. Your brand is your name, basically. A lot of people don't know that they need to build their brand, your brand is what keeps you moving.
From day one, I got addicted to being on stage and getting the applause and laughter.
I've always been singing. Since day one. I started doing musical theater and you have to sing in musical theater and so that's where I got most of my training. So singing on stage, you just inevitably, when you're around other vocal artists, you get better at singing.
Did people care about how a singer sounded live back in the day? I don't really feel like they did. Not everything was being filmed. Today, one huge mess-up, and millions are seeing it. There's a lot more on the line nowadays. We're so cautious and scared of messing up. It adds a lot of stress to a career.
I try to focus on my fans, who I know have been there since day one.
From day one, I told people there are consequences for not abiding by the law.
My preference is that, that day when someone sticks a tripod in front of you with a camera on the top, it is not day one.
My day-to-day life changes; I don't have any standard day.
A rare experience of a moment at daybreak, when something in nature seems to reveal all consciousness, cannot be explained at noon. Yet it is part of the day's unity.
