On the other hand when I give it closer thought I realize I'm not enough of a dictator to conduct an orchestra because it requires a pretty awful person. When you read these biographies of famous conductors they are all awful people who fail in their private relationships.

It's always a little mind-boggling to realize that these famous actors know who I am.

When you're rich and famous you are the dominant force in a relationship even if you try hard not to be. I've talked of sacrificing everything for Fleetwood Mac but I realize now that it is simply the only thing I've ever wanted to do.

I always loved working as an actress but I didn't understand why I couldn't just opt out of being famous. And then I realized you can and I think I did. And eventually I came to understand that you can do that and also keep working.

The first time I went to Johnny Depp's house in LA is when I realized what I was getting myself into. I knew he was famous but I didn't really know what that entailed.

I would look at a dog and when our eyes met I realized that the dog and all creatures are my family. They're like you and me.

Family's first and that's what matters most. We realize that our love goes deeper than the tennis game.

God's dream is that you and I and all of us will realize that we are family that we are made for togetherness for goodness and for compassion.

On Thanksgiving I will stop to give thanks that my family is safe and healthy especially because I realize that following the tragedies of this year it is all too real a possibility that they might not have been.

I realized my family was funny because nobody ever wanted to leave our house.

I woke up one morning thinking about wolves and realized that wolf packs function as families. Everyone has a role and if you act within the parameters of your role the whole pack succeeds and when that falls apart so does the pack.

It just took all of that to come to a screeching halt to get to the point of having nothing for me to finally realize Hey what are you fighting with this for? Until then I hadn't claimed my faith as my own I had just grown up with it.

Bad religion is arrogant self-righteous dogmatic and intolerant. And so is bad science. But unlike religious fundamentalists scientific fundamentalists do not realize that their opinions are based on faith. They think they know the truth.

Sectarian divide has created a schism in our society that is a major challenge. As monarch of all Bahrainis it pains me to see many harmed by the actions of a few. And yet I am optimistic and have faith in our people. We all realize that now is the time to strike a balance between stability and gradual reform.

Let's say black the whole black religious experience here is very impressive to me because when I first arrived I realized that people carry their faith with so much pride.

I realized that my truest passion was for helping people change through faith in a higher power. That meant for me belonging to the church. Using my abilities to bring Christian doctrine to a postmodern world.

Anybody who has been seriously engaged in scientific work of any kind realizes that over the entrance to the gates of the temple of science are written the words: 'Ye must have faith.'
