There was one theory put forth by a journalist recently. I have a lot of friends that have died prematurely and a lot of friends that have died of natural causes. I've lost a lot of people over the years. This journalist basically recommended to me that God keeps me around because I amuse him.

Al Jourgensen

My mom is proud of me. My pops proud of me. Everybody keeps motivating me.

A Boogie wit da Hoodien

I usually work on a film soundtrack for two years, turning in a song every few months, and that keeps my creative energy high, because I'm constantly rotating projects. The trick is to make sure I don't work too hard and get exhausted.

A. R. Rahman

My films are so new and unique that I don't know where I will end up. Fear keeps me alert. And it's also a part of an excitement.

Aamir Khan

I like teaching and the contact with young minds keeps one on one's toes.

Aaron Klug

Exercise is more important than diet for me because it's a twofer. It keeps me in good physical shape, and it relieves stress. And when you're a representative of the public, there's never a shortage of things to do.

Aaron Schock

A statesman who keeps his ear permanently glued to the ground will have neither elegance of posture nor flexibility of movement.

Abba Eban

What keeps me up at night is poverty and unemployment.

Abdullah II of Jordan

Karthi is such a wonderful human being. He is always focused towards improvisations and keeps working on it.

Abhimanyu Singh

All work is a process of failure. Every single thing I write, I look at it and go, 'Do better. That's not good enough. Do better.' And so, that keeps me up at night.

Abi Morgan

Literature is a beautiful way of keeping the imagination alive, of visiting worlds you would never have time to in your day-to-day life. It keeps you abreast of a wider spectrum of human activities.

Abraham Verghese

When you first win a trophy, you want to do it again and again. It keeps you hungry.

Ada Hegerberg

When you go to Best Buy and see a DVD of your movie, you think it's amazing. But then there's a whole other world that comes with it. It's a very small percent that's difficult, stalker-like, or annoying. Most people are just so gracious and so nice. As cheesy as it sounds, that's the thing that really keeps you going.

Adam Green

Yeah, I think speculation keeps things really interesting.

Adam Lambert

Facebook can spend and talk endlessly to defend itself so long as it keeps printing money.

Adam Lashinsky

People have to respond to the characters and respond to the situations that they're in. That said, it still has to be a compelling narrative that drives along and keeps people coming back week after week. So really, with any successful show you could name, there has to be a mysterious blend of both of those.

Adam Rayner

When you're coming into training camp, there's not a whole lot that is familiar. When you can grab something from it, it keeps you calm and helps you just play football.

Adam Thielen

I get called 'Mayor West' a lot in airports. I've been very fortunate to have a fan base that keeps growing, and the work gets such a warm response and humor from people.

Adam West

If it's a cliche to say that intellectual curiosity keeps your mind sharp, your senses alert, and your capabilities cutting-edge, that's because it's true.

Adena Friedman

I think the most appealing characters for the audience are the ones that you never know whether to root for them or whether to hate them. That's what keeps people drawn to their television sets.

Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje

Every actor feels that he can do much better and keeps on learning and experimenting all the time.
