I find I’m not one of these composers that are, you know, walking along a beach or walking on the mountainside in County Donegal that’s, you know, ‘Oh, a melody.’ It’s more a matter of eventually taking that moment with me to the studio, and it begins to evolve. – Enya
When it comes to photo shoots, there was a clear moment for me when I thought, ‘I’m going to have to enjoy this because it’s going to be a part of what I do.’ – Clemence Poesy

We were trying to get all of the planes down out of the sky. And we watched as the towers of the World Trade Center collapsed – something no one expected and anticipated. And you could sit there and see and be aware that thousands of people were at that moment being killed as a result of the terrorist attacks that struck the United States. – Dick Cheney
A ten- or twelve-page story seems too easy, which is a funny thing to say considering that writing a decent short story is devastatingly difficult. Yet it still seems easier than a novel. You can turn a short story on a single good line – ten pages of decent writing and one good moment. – Ethan Canin
The men I idolized built their bodies and became somebody – like Sylvester Stallone and Arnold Schwarzenegger – and I thought, ‘That can be me.’ So I started working out. The funny thing is I didn’t realize back then that I was having a defining moment. – Dwayne Johnson
In the moment when you’re doing a show, you’re thinking of that moment, but you don’t think of, ‘Here’s down the line how people will be relating to the characters.’ There’s something very universal about ‘Sex and the City’ that people are still tapping into, where every generation seems to be discovering for itself. – Darren Star
When you’re on stage, unless you surrender to the moment, you’re not telling the truth. I look for people that tell me the truth. – David Sanborn
I think the thing about acting and making music is that it’s easy to do both. I’ll shoot a movie for three months, and then I won’t have to work for however long I want to. So, I can do a movie for a couple of months and then come and do music for a couple. But whatever’s hot at the moment is what I’ll gravitate toward. – Christopher Mintz-Plasse
That is what leadership is all about: staking your ground ahead of where opinion is and convincing people, not simply following the popular opinion of the moment. – Doris Kearns Goodwin

Sexiness, particularly in movies, is the chess game in the ‘Thomas Crown Affair’. It’s, it’s, I don’t know, but Faye Dunaway comes up a lot in that thinking. It’s the subtlety of sexiness. The moment you try to be sexy, then it’s not. – Daniel Craig
There is a certain amount of commerce in the film industry in as much as you have value, and for a moment, your value goes up, then it all disappears again. – Eddie Redmayne
Character is the ability to carry out a good resolution long after the excitement of the moment has passed. – Cavett Robert
There’s a lot of things in life that we don’t know why they’re coming exactly at this moment. – Marat Safin
SuperMemo is based on the insight that there is an ideal moment to practice what you’ve learned. Practice too soon and you waste your time.

Coming back in that AFC Championship Game against the Steelers, that was a poignant moment for me for a lot of reasons – the magnitude of the game and having not been able to play for quite a while and to be able to get on the field for that game. That one stands out. – Drew Bledsoe
I don’t even think whether I play the blues or not, I just play whatever feels right at the moment. I also will use any gadget or device that I find that helps me achieve the sort of sound on the guitar that I want to get. – David Gilmour
Nineteen sixty-eight was one exciting moment in a much larger movement. It spawned a whole range of movements. There wouldn’t have been an international global solidarity movement, for instance, without the events of 1968. It was enormous, in terms of human rights, ethnic rights, a concern for the environment, too. – Noam Chomsky
There is something very unsettling about being with someone when they die. People say it’s peaceful. It’s not peaceful. It’s the most personal thing you can do, is die, and you feel almost like you’re invading someone’s most personal moment by being there. – George Clooney
After the 1954 Geneva international conference, Vietnam was divided into two parts. On paper, North and South Vietnam were twin countries born at the same moment. – Nguyen Cao Ky

There have been times I’ve planted stuff in songs where four years later I’ll be singing it from a subconscious, kind of chameleon little lizard mind… and at a certain moment, all of a sudden, I’ll hear a line from a different vantage point and it’ll change its meaning. It’s something I wrote but it changed because I did. – Feist
