The care of the public health is the first duty of the statesman.
I realized that the reason why my head was so cluttered and why I was so unstable and not taking care of myself, all of these things, was that I was unhappy. If I wanted to get to a happier place and find some kind of peace, I was going to have to address problems with myself, things from my life up until that point that I hadn't dealt with: insecurities, fears, and those kinds of things.
I'm a lot happier in people's living rooms weekly than I think I would be if I was really, really relying on a movie career to keep me fulfilled and excited.
If there's anything about the business that I love and that I'm extremely happy about, is that my career started at that time and that I met some of the greatest entertainers at that time and some are still here.
I still think my whole career was accidental. I didn't pursue it. I feel like I'm cheating sometimes.
I woke up one morning, went downstairs, said 'Good morning' to my mother and nearly scared both of us to death.'
I am the kind of person that if something scares me then I feel like have to do it. That's something I have to conquer. I need to break that fear and go to it.
I happen to be a proponent of a single-payer universal health care plan.
If you like your doctor or health care provider, you can keep them. If you like your health care plan, you can keep that, too.
Faith is huge and I am a proud Christian. I think it would be difficult to have a career like the one we have without having faith.
Oh, the cares of men! how much emptiness there is in human concerns!
I probably hold the distinction of being one movie star who, by all laws of logic, should never have made it. At each stage of my career, I lacked the experience.
I found a new me. When I first came over to America, it was like, 'How can I be rich? How can I build my movie career? How can I become the most muscular man?' It was all about me, and then there was this turn, and I found it was really great to do this.
It's something that I think I'm going to have to fight against for most of my career, for people to take me seriously as an actor as opposed to a good-looking guy. It's not what I want to be known as.
I'm much more creative when I've actually taken care of myself.
At the moment, our society’s notion of success is largely composed of two parts: money and power. But it’s time for a third metric, beyond money and power - one founded on well-being, wisdom, our ability to wonder, and to give back.
I went to Brunel University and very much wanted to go on to do a PhD in management, but then my acting career started to take off. In those days when you switched on the box there were hardly any brown or black faces.
I think my Italy career is over - it's only right they begin a new era without me. Besides, you have to run a lot under Conte!
A German philosopher once wrote that he who fights monsters must take care that he doesn't become one himself.
I chose a career in obstetrics and gynecology because there's something about honoring women, honoring the birth process. We all come from women, and there's something extraordinary about the mothers who raised us.
I think the must-have power qualities for a female or male power leader are really the ability to focus, to work hard, to be extremely goal oriented and to not let the noise and the nonsense interfere with your mission - what you really feel you want to do with your career and your life.
I had never even thought I'd be an actress - I was supposed to be a lawyer. But the motivation is the same: when you act, you defend a role; you have to be convincing. It's the same career.
That's such a thrill - a story I wrote at the beginning of my career, and it's still packin' the house.
You should be accumulating really great relationships throughout your career.
My mom was a great cook so I always wanted to eat and make stuff. I did cooking in 4-H but it wasn't until I was out of college that I decided I wanted to make this my career.
