Personally, I have detested Gordon Brown since the moment in 2001 when he tried to make cheap capital out of the Laura Spence affair; as his troubles have piled up, I have felt no sympathy for him at all. – Justin Cartwright
I have sometimes played my best Davis Cup matches away from home when you stay in the moment a bit more. But it is tough when half the crowd are spitting on you. – Lleyton Hewitt
No, people back home don’t realize why there is this kind of need for heroes in America at the moment. People in Britain don’t really understand what’s going on here. They don’t understand why Camp X-ray exists. – Jon Ronson
It would have been amazing to have been a student at Oxford during that golden moment in the 1910s, rubbing elbows with the likes of Aldous Huxley and T.E. Lawrence, before World War I shattered everything forever. – Kevin Kwan
I got a manager, and I thought, since I was going out on auditions, I should do this for a living. Then there was this moment on set when I realized I was having a lot of fun, and I really wanted to do this forever. I want to do different stuff, but I want it all to be just as good as this film. I want to be consistent. – Jared Gilman
When politicians began to see that every last thing that they did in public could be broadcast to a mass audience, the fact that the stakes were so much higher now that every moment became fraught caused them to become more cautious, and the consultants very gradually but inevitably became literal reactionaries. – Joe Klein
We rob ourselves of so much by focusing on the wrong stuff. And the ability to get into the moment and deal with what is, that’s the real opportunity. – Kathy Mattea
I had never done a 90-minute play with no intermission, so it is a bit like you get onto the train and you don’t get off until it’s over – and it’s over very quickly, so don’t miss a moment of it. That experience is very rare and specific so don’t miss a minute, because there aren’t very many minutes of it. – Lily Rabe
Things go in cycles. It’s like fashion, like flares go out then skinny jeans come in, people want something fresh. It’s the strongest ever urban scene at the moment and I hope it can progress and keep getting stronger and be the base for something larger. – Katy B
You can repeat things because it’s on a set and there are actors. But if it’s a great moment and you don’t capture it, it’s rare to get that moment again. – Larry Charles
You have to react to what’s around you in the moment, whatever the music is. Just think of it as some place you have to enter and you need to find the key. – Jan Garbarek

I hate going into a room with people in it and the feeling of them staring. I find every moment excruciating. – Kate Dickie
Of course, if this season turns out to be terrible for me – if I get injured again and this prevents me from reaching a satisfying level, then I could change my decision again. But at this moment, it absolutely feels like the right thing for me to continue through 2003. – Laurent Jalabert
At the moment we’re trying to keep what we’ve learnt. Because we learnt a terrific amount with ‘Deep Purple In Rock,’ it took six months to make that album: we think it paid off, really. I can honestly say that it’s the first album we’ve been 100 percent satisfied with; it gave us a hell of a lot of confidence. – Jon Lord
But only a brief moment is granted to the brave one breath or two, whose wage is the long nights of the grave. – Muhammad Iqbal
I think people thought I was crazy for leaving Mexico when I had any project I wanted falling at my feet. But I risked everything to come to Los Angeles, where no one knew who I was, and start all over again. It was a very hard step to take. However, it was the moment I thought it was right to take a risk in my career. – Karla Souza
No, I see it as meaning very little at the moment because none of the groups are about anything. – Lester Bangs
I always want the audience to identify with my character in some way. I mean, sometimes you’ll get characters that aren’t very identifiable. Sometimes you can’t relate to your character at all. I think it’s important to keep the audience interested. But the best advice that I’ve gotten is to live in the moment. – Liana Liberato
I was 16 and got my boyfriend’s name tattooed on me. Don’t do it. ‘Cause it hurts. The moment you do it, the next month, the next year, you’ll be broken up – trust me – and cover-ups hurt. You can show your love in other ways. Ink is not it. Write it on a piece of paper and mail it to him. – Lauren London
I always did something I was a little not ready to do. I think that’s how you grow. When there’s that moment of ‘Wow, I’m not really sure I can do this,’ and you push through those moments, that’s when you have a breakthrough. – Marissa Mayer
The decisive moment in the defeat of upper class, capital-S, Society may have come when, in newspapers all over the nation, what used to be call the Society page was replaced by the Style section. – Joseph Epstein
I remember the moment I first became aware of aging. I was 30. I looked down at my knees, and the skin above them had become a little loose. And I thought, ‘And so it begins!’ – Kate Christensen
Everyone’s favorite breakfast dish can be prepared in a moment’s time with just a few ingredients and minimum effort. – Marcus Samuelsson
Become a worry-slapper. Treat frets like mosquitoes. Do you procrastinate when a bloodsucking bug lights on your skin? ‘I’ll take care of it in a moment.’ Of course you don’t! You give the critter the slap it deserves. Be equally decisive with anxiety. – Max Lucado
