I don't want to spend the rest of my life in politics. When I'm finished with my term as governor I'm going back to the life that's waiting for me in the private sector.

There are no true friends in politics. We are all sharks circling and waiting for traces of blood to appear in the water.

Writing a book of poetry is like dropping a rose petal down the Grand Canyon and waiting for the echo.

Publishing a volume of verse is like dropping a rose petal down the Grand Canyon and waiting for the echo.

When you've seen beyond yourself then you may find peace of mind is waiting there.

Whatever we are waiting for - peace of mind contentment grace the inner awareness of simple abundance - it will surely come to us but only when we are ready to receive it with an open and grateful heart.

Sometimes they are a matter of luck the photographer could not expect or hope for them. Sometimes they are a matter of patience waiting for an effect to be repeated that he has seen and lost or for one that he anticipates.

I can imagine few things more trying to the patience than the long wasted days of waiting.

The Scriptures contain many stories of people who waited years or even decades before the Lord's promises came to pass. What modern believers can learn from the patience of biblical saints like Abraham Joseph David and Paul is that waiting upon the Lord has eternal rewards.

It is strange that the years teach us patience that the shorter our time the greater our capacity for waiting.

That's the way this business works: if your movies do well at the box office you will be offered more movies. It doesn't matter if you're a nice guy or you're a prick. If your movies do well there's a job waiting for you in Hollywood. It's not any more complicated than that.

The present moment is nice but it does not last. Living in it is like waiting in a junction town for the morning limited the junction may be interesting but some day you will have to leave it and you do not know where the limited will take you.

In this respect early youth is exactly like old age it is a time of waiting for a big trip to an unknown destination. The chief difference is that youth waits for the morning limited and age waits for the night train.

Marilyn Monroe was no fun to work with. She would report to work around 5:00 in the evening. You've been in make-up since 8:30 in the morning waiting for her.

Sometimes I lose a whole morning waiting on journalists and other people who look for me. But I always find some time for reading talking to my friends and feeling what is happening in this world.

It is a challenge with the global fame to try to act like I put my pants on one leg at a time when in fact I have Pippa Middleton help me put my pants on every morning. She's my lady-in-waiting as well.

It's never really that much fun for me to do movies anyway because you - you know you have to get up very early in the morning and you have to go in and you spend a lot of time waiting around.
