I have to have three or four books going simultaneously. If I'm not impressed in the first 20 pages, I don't bother reading the rest, especially with novels. I'm not a book-club style reader. I'm not looking for life lessons or wanting people to think I'm smart because I'm reading a certain book.
‐‐ Chris Abani
I have to hit the gym. I have beauty appointments. I have to work toward my next job and maintaining my image, just like an athlete.
‐‐ Linda Evangelista
I have to hold a meeting with the rising generation every evening, and that takes time. Henry can say, 'Twinkle, twinkle,' all himself, and Edward can repeat it after his father! Giants of genius! Paragons of erudition!
‐‐ Adoniram Judson
I have to hold up my end of the bargain and do what's expected of me.
‐‐ Austin Seferian-Jenkins
I have to humble myself.
‐‐ Chad Johnson
I have to just come to work every single day. That's not just on the field but off the field, because you have little kids looking up to you; your face is the face of this franchise and this university. You have to understand that every decision that you make is going to be criticized.
‐‐ Chad Kelly
I have to just get up early and make sure I run. I'll do 40 minutes, four miles. It's not easy, but it clears my head.
‐‐ Lindsay Price
I have to just worry about my own opinion and the opinions of the people I'm working with and people who are close to me.
‐‐ Emily Browning
I have to keep explaining to people that screen kissing isn't quite the same; it's close, but it isn't quite the same as a normal, real-life kiss.
‐‐ Margot Robbie
I have to keep healthy; otherwise, I jeopardise my career.
‐‐ Kiki Dee
I have to keep reminding myself: If you give your life to God, he doesn't promise you happiness and that everything will go well. But he does promise you peace. You can have peace and joy, even in bad circumstances.
‐‐ Patricia Heaton
I have to keep reminding myself that I am their mother. Sometimes we are sitting at home and I feel like we are waiting for our mom to come home.
‐‐ Ruby Wax
I have to keep testing myself.
‐‐ Eartha Kitt
I have to keep up with the scientific literature as part of my job, but increasingly I found myself reading things that weren't really relevant to my academic work, but were relevant to gardening.
‐‐ Ken Thompson
I have to know the killer, the victim and the motive when I begin. Then I start to create the characters and see how the novel takes shape based on what these people are like.
‐‐ Elizabeth George
I have to laugh at myself.
‐‐ Anthony Kiedis
I have to laugh because despite the destruction, we cannot let 'them' steal our pleasure. That is always the theme of my performances: I'm here to thrive, not just to survive.
‐‐ Lydia Lunch
I have to laugh to myself. I don't find it work to write music, because I enjoy it. I'd find an evening of bridge hard work because you have to think like hell, and at the end, you get nothing for it.
‐‐ Richard Rodgers
I have to laugh when I receive newsletters from major personalities and when you hit reply, you get a 'do-not-reply' address. It's ridiculous! Don't you want your customers to reply to you?
‐‐ Brendon Burchard
I have to lead a very small life in terms of what people think 'Hollywood' is. It's a full life for me, but I'm not jetting across the world. But life is good.
‐‐ Octavia Spencer
I have to learn the plays before I can worry about getting passes thrown to me.
‐‐ Benjamin Watson
I have to learn to knit.
‐‐ Blake Lively
I have to leave the games now if the announcer says something I don't agree with. I'm thinking, 'Peyton, it is not healthy to be all worked up before a game.'
‐‐ Peyton Manning
I have to leave the government in the year 2012. I have to go.
‐‐ Hugo Chavez
I have to let the general manager do what makes the most sense, or I can't hold him accountable.
‐‐ Jerry Reinsdorf
I have to live authentically at all times. And that's part of what makes me an artist. I'm not scared to do that.
‐‐ Estelle
I have to live for others and not for myself: that's middle-class morality.
‐‐ George Bernard Shaw
I have to live in the truth that this is who I am. That's what I need to focus on.
‐‐ Elisabeth Hasselbeck
I have to live my books before I write them.
‐‐ Dave Ramsey
I have to live with both my selves as best I may.
‐‐ Brigitte Bardot
I have to live within my memories, within my private universe, and continually return to China, the land where my thoughts are locked. This is a very painful kind of existence, this feeling of nowhereness.
‐‐ Ma Jian
I have to look after myself. I go to the gym every day; I have physio every day, I have a couple of guys that work with my body a lot.
‐‐ Adolfo Cambiaso
I have to make a dress out of recycled materials for my kid's preschool 'Project Runway'-like assignment. I'm currently fusing plastic bags.
‐‐ Busy Philipps
I have to make a lot of decisions that aren't in the best interests of individuals, whether they be owners, club executives, players.
‐‐ Roger Goodell
I have to make it my job to be careful with my family.
‐‐ Liam Neeson
I have to make little movies. I have to sit and film.
‐‐ Mal Peet
I have to make my bones with Hollywood to get in. And when I do maybe I'll metamorphose from Mr. Muscles or whatever it is I am now and become an irascible tosser.
‐‐ Tom Hardy
I have to make myself write, sometimes. In the space between poems, you somehow forget how to do it, where to begin. It was good to be task - based for a while. I just came downstairs each day, picked the one I was going to do that day, and wrote.
‐‐ Simon Armitage
I have to make rock records occasionally.
‐‐ Evan Dando
I have to make sure I don't eat too much chocolate. You can't imagine how hard that is for a German to not eat chocolate.
‐‐ Sibel Kekilli
I have to make sure I exercise and that the ingredients that go into my body are completely organic.
‐‐ Janice Dickinson
I have to make sure I get the right amount of protein and iron, and I take supplements for that. I think people would be surprised if they saw my diet, though; it's very normal.
‐‐ Lizzie Armitstead
I have to make sure that I am doing the right thing. I can't afford to make any mistake.
‐‐ Ehud Olmert
I have to make sure that I don't silence myself about the things that I believe in, because sometimes the fear creeps in of 'What if fewer people watch the show or fewer people hire me because I express my politics?' For me, the commitment is to never be quiet just because I'm in the public eye.
‐‐ Kerry Washington
I have to make sure that I make good choices and that if I put my name on it, it's a high-quality endeavor and that I have time to be a human being.
‐‐ Nate Silver
I have to make things right with Tiger first before anything else.
‐‐ Fuzzy Zoeller
I have to make this love affair believable enough. It's very European.
‐‐ Chita Rivera
I have to often read the same sentence over and over before I understand it. And I have to convince myself that what I'm reading is so enjoyable and so exciting and so good for me that it's worth the effort.
‐‐ Philip Schultz
I have to own something before I can say it, and I have to own it before I can sing it as well, emotionally. I only enjoy acting and singing if I am believing what I am doing.
‐‐ Gregory Harrison
I have to paint at least two times a week, and there's not enough time in the day to do everything.
‐‐ Mary Lynn Rajskub
