I find painting a much slower process than comedy, where you can go a mile a minute verbally and hope to God that some of the people out there understand you. I don’t paint every day. I’m not that motivated. – Jonathan Winters
I hope my books empower kids, and that they learn how to work out their problems themselves. – Jean Craighead George
I think I’ve lived a pretty hard life. What I mean by hard is that… I’ve been kind of reckless with things. I’m a passionate person. I’m a super passionate person. I think there’s definitely been sorrow in my life, good and bad. I think it comes through. I hope it comes through in my writing because to me that’s what artistry is. – Kip Moore
Acting, and the privilege of being able to do it for a living, is so important to me. I don’t turn up and just hope for the best. I really fret about it. I do my homework; I prepare myself for the experience of playing a particular character. – Kate Winslet
I prefer to win titles with the team ahead of individual awards or scoring more goals than anyone else. I’m more worried about being a good person than being the best football player in the world. When all this is over, what are you left with? When I retire, I hope I am remembered for being a decent guy. – Lionel Messi
You know, I do projects that I really care about. I hope I’ll stand by that until the day I die! – Juno Temple
I have learned from my experiences in this industry that there is absolutely no way to control people’s opinions on your performance in your movie. You go out there, promote your film and hope people like the work you did. – Leonardo DiCaprio
I just try to write the best story I can, a story I would love to read, and hope that readers feel the same. – Jennifer McMahon
A Negro girl could never be purely innocent. The vengeful Race Fairy always lurked nearby; your parents’ best hope was that the fairy would show up at someone else’s feast and punish their child. Parents had to protect themselves, too, and protect you from knowing how much danger you all were in. – Margo Jefferson
I hope that people will finally come to realize that there is only one ‘race’ – the human race – and that we are all members of it. – Margaret Atwood
The great irony of management is that the higher up you go, the less actual control you have. When you are but a humble coder, you make the computer do exactly what you want; when you’re a manager, you only hope that people understand what you want, and then trust/pray that they do it both correctly and in a timely manner. – Jon Evans
If family violence teaches children that might makes right at home, how will we hope to cure the futile impulse to solve worldly conflicts with force? – Letty Cottin Pogrebin
The hope of a secure and livable world lies with disciplined nonconformists who are dedicated to justice, peace and brotherhood. – Martin Luther King, Jr.
The empathy I found reading ‘Heidi’ and ‘Little Women’ is empathy we have as human beings that can feed all of our souls. We have our differences, but we’re all so similar in our humanness. So those stories about young girls overcoming meant a lot to me and gave me hope. – Jewell Parker Rhodes
Oprah’s aspiration to inspire her audience with hope – elaborated on her TV show, in her magazine, and on her website – is hardly ignoble. – Lee Siegel

My audiences have given me lots of love as a tennis player. I hope they appreciate my passion for acting. – Leander Paes
Let us hope that good authors who are bad Christians will find salvation through the books they write. – Julien Green
To make films is as boring as watching paint dry – you usually have to do little tiny bits here and there. You go off waiting for lighting, you come back – the energy dies. You hope you can find someone who can keep it going. – Jenny Agutter
Keep America strong. Strong in our values, strong in our economy, and strong in our military might. We hope to never have to use our military strength, but the world counts on a strong America to keep the worst actors from doing the worst things. – Mitt Romney
What is true of the individual will be tomorrow true of the whole nation if individuals will but refuse to lose heart and hope. – Mahatma Gandhi
