The Gen X generation never got past 'Reality Bites,' apparently, and my generation, the Gen Yers... Facebook? Maybe a conservative revolution?
When was the last time you bought an American-made radio or television? If you're Gen X or younger, the answer is 'never.' Does the label on that shirt or skirt you're wearing say 'Made in the U.S.A.'? If so, you probably got it at Goodwill, or maybe at a Smithsonian garage sale.
'Singin' in the Rain' was the one for me. Yeah. I mean, Gene Kelly could just sway and never fall. He'd just sway and sway as he danced.
We never can tell how our lives may work to the account of the general good, and we are not wise enough to know if we have fulfilled our mission or not.
My father was a general manager with Hyatt, so we lived in the hotel so he would be close by if there were any problems. My mum was always adamant about us not abusing it. So I still had to clean my room. Housekeeping would never come and do it.
You can never underestimate the stupidity of the general public.
I think one of the things you have to learn if you're going to create believable characters is never to make generalizations about groups of people.
Generals don't panic; then the troops never panic.
At the age of four with paper hats and wooden swords we're all Generals. Only some of us never grow out of it.
Maybe it's a generational thing, but I never wanted to be the best black dancer in the world. I just wanted to be the best.
When I'm in New York, I have, like probably everybody else in Manhattan, a white-noise generator to use at night: a Marpac Dual-Speed Dohm-DS. It is terrific. I've never slept better in the city.
Even as a kid I was never the generator of humor, but I always knew who was funny, who to hang out with.
Unless generosity of spirit prevails among men, there can never be upon earth an ideal life.
In running, I know that I can train as much as I want and I'm never going to break the world record for the five miles. It's partly genetics; I'm just not built for it. But if I worked really hard, I might be able to cut my time by half. Could I do the same thing with my mind and my well-being?
What is the Geneva Convention on wars! I have never read it.
You know that genie where you get three wishes? One that has never changed for me is I would like to sing, and move an audience through song.
I never dreamed that in my lifetime my own genome would be sequenced.
The truth does not require a majority to prevail, ladies and gentlemen. The truth is its own power. The truth will out. Never forget that.
I have never met a geologist or leading scientist who believes adding more carbon dioxide to the atmosphere will have any significant effect on climate change.
For nine years I worked to change what was hairdressing then into a geometric art form with color, perm without setting which had never been done before.
