“It took me getting to my 50s before I could say "Whatever!" about other people's criticism, especially when it's not true.” Quote by Sally Field
“I don't know what happiness is. I have periods of feeling joyous and peaceful and excited about what I'm doing, but I am also frequently very sad.” FeelingsExcitedPeacefulJoyousVery Sad Author:Sally Field
“I find that I'm not as worried anymore about what other people think. That's a comfortable place to be. And I'm starting to let go of the feeling that I need to push myself to do things I don't want to do - an impulse that has always been linked to the feeling that I'm not enough.” PeopleThinkingEnoughFeelingsLetting GoWorriedImpulse Author:Sally Field
“You don't know what unconditional love is. You may say you do, but if you don't have a child, you don't know what that is. But when you experience it, it is the most fulfilling ever.” IfsKnowsMayChildrenLove IsUnconditional LoveFulfillingUnconditional Author:Regina King
“I was into David Bowie. I attracted long hair and earrings when it was quite a risque thing to do in Dublin. We didn't have the liberation that America and Britain in the '60s but I did always look to England and America, mainly because of the music that came from there.” LongLiberationLong HairRisque Author:Gavin Friday
“We became friends in Dublin through music and we had real names, Fionan Hanvey and Derek Rowan - what a dreadful name. And Paul Hewson. We gave each other nicknames just the way most kids do, but the nicknames had more to do with how we physically looked or our essence and I had quite square features as a young kid. I was called Wavin for awhile, but I'm a bit softer - I'm a little softer than a surge pipe so they changed that to Gavin. I didn't chose it, it was Bono and Guggi who gave it to me.” RealKidsChangedPipe Author:Gavin Friday
“Friday was added to my nickname because I have a talent of getting on with most people. So it's a bit of a man Friday thing.” PeopleMenTalentFriday Author:Gavin Friday
“We had similar interests with Derek Rowan and Paul Hewson; it sounds really pretentious at 12, 13 year old kids were like into art and poetry, but we were. We weren't into football, we were into making music or being into music and painting and stuff like that. And we called this sort of little gang Lypton Village and we made up imaginary games and this is one day we'll form bands and one day we'll make movies and one day we'll do this and one day we'll do that. A lot of kids do this in their own way, except 25, 30 years later legend happens because some of us have become quite well known.” ArtKidsInterestFootballPaintingOne DayImaginaryWell KnownGangPretentious Author:Gavin Friday
“I think a lot of kids do dream in their own way, except 25, 30 years later legend happens because some of us have become quite well known. So the myth becomes magical. So I tend to sort of see it very practical for me. When I go out for a drink, Bono can buy the pints because he has more money than me. We're the same guys, do you know what I mean.” ThinkingMeanDreamKidsGuyDrinkMythWell Known Author:Gavin Friday
“I've always as a performer on stage tend to sort of throw myself into the character, whatever I've written about, so it depends on how I'm writing or what I'm writing about.” WritingCharacter Author:Gavin Friday
“A lot of singers don't really know who they are. They have this massive insecurity and this massive ego and they are sort of pulled between both. I mean, why do you want a lot of people to look at you all the time and listen to you? There is something going on there, there is sort of need to express and attention. It's not just ego, it's some sort of complex thing and sometimes you create characters to say something you want to say and then you just throw yourself into that.” PeopleMeanSometimesCharacterAttentionEgoInsecurity Author:Gavin Friday
