I watched the Trade Center buildings go down from my balcony, and it was a terrifying moment. I couldn't get my mind around it at all.
I have a cultural map in my head, where I find similarities between different cultures. For example, domestic Japanese pop music sounds like Arabic music to me - the vocal intonations and vibrato - and, in my mind, Bali is next to New York. Maybe everyone has these geographies in their head. This is the way I've been working.
I wanted to be a ballerina. I changed my mind.
One of the things that we have to keep in mind on Iran is Iran is also a country with ballistic missiles, cyber capabilities.
I start my day with a hot water and lemon routine. I meditate. And I take my problems lightly, like my mother always said: treat them like helium balloons and let them go. I devour a lot of books to feed my mind.
For the mind disturbed, the still beauty of dawn is nature's finest balm.
It's hard for me to view Baltimore outside the context of what Baltimore has always been in my mind: a violent place.
This is my own little rock theory: In my mind, Nirvana slayed the hair bands. They shot the top off the poodles.
George W. Bush is always protesting that he has the fate of the world in mind and bangs on about the 'freedom-loving peoples' he's seeking to protect. I'd love to meet a freedom-hating people.
Emotions are products of our mind, and we can actually train ourselves to choose whether we banish or embrace them.
I think I'm absolutely perfect. Because if I'm not good at something I completely banish it from my mind. Completely. Like it never happened.
I'm winning even if I have zero pence in my bank account, because my mind's free.
We don't mind having sanctions banning us from Europe. We are not Europeans.
I can only say the first thing that pops into my mind is I remember, years ago, seeing kind of a has-been country singer working - when I first moved to Nashville - in a bar in a Holiday Inn.
Caste is not a physical object like a wall of bricks or a line of barbed wire which prevents the Hindus from co-mingling and which has, therefore, to be pulled down. Caste is a notion; it is a state of the mind.
When a man is discontented with himself, it has one advantage - that it puts him into an excellent frame of mind for making a bargain.
Never let it be said that the world of international economics isn't exciting or adventurous. OK, I exaggerate, because not even the most imaginative mind could construe the annual meetings of the International Monetary Fund and World Bank to be a nail-biting barn burner.
Age is no barrier. It's a limitation you put on your mind.
I could never understand why they did that to Barry Sanders in Detroit. I know that's one of the reasons why he retired, because they took him out on third down and let someone else catch the ball. I thought they must be out of their mind because Barry is such a threat.
Always be ready to speak your mind, and a base man will avoid you.
