I don’t think you ever stop giving. I really don’t. I think it’s an on-going process. And it’s not just about being able to write a check. It’s being able to touch somebody’s life. – Oprah Winfrey
There are days when I’ll write for 15 minutes and have to give up and move around, and I’ll write another paragraph and give up again. On other days I get intensely – focused on the process, sit down at 8 A.M. and won’t get up until 8 P.M. – Rick Riordan
On ‘Darjeeling,’ I was on set every day and I acted as the second unit director and a producer on that film. I was there throughout the whole process. On ‘Moonrise Kingdom,’ I showed up for one day. – Roman Coppola
Music is a whole oasis in my head. The creation process is so personal and fulfilling. – River Phoenix

Everyone has a right to change their consciousness, but ultimately the whole process is misleading. – Robyn Hitchcock
The ambivalence of writing is such that it can be considered both an act and an interpretive process that follows after an act with which it cannot coincide. As such, it both affirms and denies its own nature. – Paul de Man
And my father, being a good Swiss puritan, always really insisted that if I was going to be an actor, I shouldn’t just be an actor, I should know about the whole process. – Rene Auberjonois
Something happens between a novel and its reader which is similar to the process of developing photographs, the way they did it before the digital age. The photograph, as it was printed in the darkroom, became visible bit by bit. As you read your way through a novel, the same chemical process takes place. – Patrick Modiano
When you’re allowing the Executive Branch to deprive somebody of a constitutional liberty without any process, that is something that affects all Americans because that’s a precedent that can be used. – Ron DeSantis
Art and science have so much in common – the process of trial and error, finding something new and innovative, and to experiment and succeed in a breakthrough. – Peter M. Brant
If you can slow the biological process of aging, even a minor slowdown in the rate at which we age yields improvements in virtually every condition of frailty and disability and mortality that we see at later ages. – S. Jay Olshansky
Payfirma has revolutionized the payment process, consolidating mobile, e-commerce and in-store payments under a single solution, much like HootSuite did for social media. – Ryan Holmes
Time begins the healing process of wounds cut deeply by oppression. We soothe ourselves with the salve of attempted indifference, accepting the false pattern set up by the horrible restriction of Jim Crow laws. – Rosa Parks
The temptation to quit and start over infects every creative process I’ve ever been in. Frustration and boredom always fuel this self-doubt. – Robert Lopez

Violence is not to be undertaken by private persons. If a state or administration acts without due and visible attention to agreed international process, it acts in a way analogous to a private person. It purports to be judge of its own interest. – Rowan Williams
The whole process of getting licenses to broadcast, which took place decades ago, was done behind closed doors by powerful lobbies, and wealthy commercial interests got all the licenses with no public input, no congressional input for that matter. – Robert McChesney
After Madrid, we intensified our investigative efforts once again, and we are in the process of bringing about expansions in security laws and creating an index file system. – Otto Schily
It’s a very slow process – two steps forward, one step back – but I’m inching in the right direction. – Rob Reiner
Nucleic acids are the main information-carrying molecules of the cell, and, by directing the process of protein synthesis, they determine the inherited characteristics of every living thing. The two main classes of nucleic acids are deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and ribonucleic acid (RNA). – Richard J. Roberts
The old process of social assimilation used to be mainly about English new money – generated in London, the mucky, brassy North or the colonies – buying those houses and restoring them, and doing the three-generation thing, mouldering into the landscape, and the ‘community,’ identifying with the place in a familiar way. – Peter York
You can open up a centenarian’s brain, and you’ll see some areas that look like that of a 50-year-old or of a 110-year-old. You can have variation in the basic process of aging, called senescence, in different parts of the same body. – S. Jay Olshansky
The process of making a movie is what I love. I thrive on that. It’s an exciting miracle, a mad adventure. I love being part of it. – Orlando Bloom
After I came out of surgery – I was in the hospital for five weeks – I found that I gravitated toward very gentle sounds: chant music, solo bamboo flute sounds, a laid-back record of my own called ‘Inside.’ And the music became a very real part of my recovery process. – Paul Horn
Popularity isn’t just something that happens. You have to give something in exchange for it, and that’s the dangerous part of the process. – Robert Bringhurst
