All my children have spoken for themselves since they first learned to speak, and not always with my advance approval, and I expect that to continue in the future.

The mind is never satisfied with the objects immediately before it, but is always breaking away from the present moment, and losing itself in schemes of future felicity... The natural flights of the human mind are not from pleasure to pleasure, but from hope to hope.

Creativity has always depended on openness and flexibility, so let us hope for more of both in the future.

These interviews, sometimes they jog your memories, like what you were doing when you were 10 years old. They're always searching for your past; they can keep you living there. I want to go on to the future.

In love, unlike most other passions, the recollection of what you have had and lost is always better than what you can hope for in the future.

People have long feared that mechanization might cause mass unemployment. This never happened because, as old professions became obsolete, new professions evolved, and there was always something humans could do better than machines. Yet this is not a law of nature, and nothing guarantees it will continue to be like that in the future.

My parents taught me to never give up and to always believe that my future could be whatever I dreamt it to be.

The future is always a dystopia in movies.

I'm always thinking about creating. My future starts when I wake up every morning... Every day I find something creative to do with my life.

You know when you're young you think you will always be. As you become more fragile, you reflect and you realize how much comfort can come from the past. Hymns can carry you into the future.

It is always wise to look ahead, but difficult to look further than you can see.

The reason people find it so hard to be happy is that they always see the past better than it was, the present worse than it is, and the future less resolved than it will be.

What we need to do is always lean into the future; when the world changes around you and when it changes against you - what used to be a tail wind is now a head wind - you have to lean into that and figure out what to do because complaining isn't a strategy.

The future is always beginning now.

There is never time in the future in which we will work out our salvation. The challenge is in the moment; the time is always now.

I think if I'm with a friend group, I try to be as funny as possible, and I don't always succeed, obviously.

What amazes me with 'Will & Grace' fans is how young they are and how straight they are. The guys always come up and go, 'You are so funny on that show. My girlfriend watches that show.'

I am a very open person, and I'm always nervous of being misconstrued. Sitting in the middle of a restaurant makes me nervous. I feel like I'm being judged. And it's funny that I should feel that way.

Every movie I do, I always use things that have happened in my life. Funny moments, anything. If it just sticks out I'll write it down and use that, too, because it has to come out of you. But no one can work when they're depressed. I don't think I'd physically be able to do it if I were depressed.

You know, I've always thought that it would be really funny if somebody made a romantic comedy where absolutely everything went well from beginning to end.

My parents were from New England. It's very funny, but when I grew up, you always had to say, 'Yes, ma'am' and 'Yes, sir.'

I'm the youngest in my family, and everyone is very funny, and I was always trying to keep up with them. I just loved making people laugh.

And the funny thing is, I've always been an optimist - it's practically a congenital disorder with me.

I've always thought the word cow was funny. And cows are sort of tragic figures. Cows blur the line between tragedy and humor.
