When I started 'Hudson Hawk,' I realized I was dealing with a strong-willed producer, a strong-willed actor, and, at times, a strong-willed studio, and I was the junior partner in all of this - the guy who hadn't proven anything in terms of box-office success.

I was such a strong-willed child, my parents weren't sure how to deal with me.

People wanted Bitcoin to live so much, they basically willed it back into existence. That showed me how passionate this community was about it.

Adam Draper

Search well and be wise, nor believe that self-willed pride will ever be better than good counsel.

Aeschylus

Good Wise Willed

The women I draw all have the same sort of personality. I can't draw gentle girls; I only know how to draw ones who are strong-willed.

Akira Toriyama

Women Men Willed

If you're doing gags, I think it's important to have characters who are as strong-willed and impactful as possible.

Akira Toriyama

You Willed Will

Though not into films, my family was associated with films. My grandparents financed films. They didn't like me getting into films. But, destiny willed it so.

Asha Parekh

Finance Family Wit

Mum says that, since I was a tiny baby, I've had the most strong-willed and stubborn personality known to man. Although that was a real pain for her, she admired my resolve.

Bat for Lashes

Willed Will Tiny

It is a long story how we finally ended up with the title simply being 'The Legend of Korra,' but in a poetic way, I think Korra's big Type A personality willed it to happen!

Bryan Konietzko

Wit Willed Will

I will make a joke about any of my family members, about me, about my wife, if I really thought that I'm doing it to be funny. If there's some darkness to it, or I think it's ill-willed or mean or not cool, then I won't do it.

Carlos Mencia

Funny Family Cool

I willed myself into being.

Carrie Brownstein

Willed Will T

I am strong-willed, which can be annoying sometimes. And from that I think people assume I have confidence and Hollywood glamour and all that stuff, when actually, in my personal life, sometimes I'm just a goofball.

Catherine Zeta-Jones

Time Life Yin

I willed myself through a junior college to a university and, ultimately, a Ph.D.

Craig Venter

I'm a big fan of independent girls who are strong-willed, vocal in their opinions, and have a sense of humor.

David Lambert

Humor Willed Will

My daughter is very strong-willed and is a great kid. She doesn't drink. She doesn't smoke. She doesn't fold to peer pressure. I think how affectionate my wife and I have been with her over the years all plays into that. She realizes the more people she is exposed to that kids who have both parents around grow up to be much better people.

Doug Flutie

Great Years Year

I'm strong-willed. Architects are strong-willed. You get the best results with a strong client and a strong architect working together.

Eli Broad

Work You Working Together

I found with this record I had to really be strong-willed, because in the past I've tended to tinker and add a thing or take a thing away, and nearly always been wrong.

Elvis Costello

Wrong Wit Willed

The Father willed that his blessed and glorious Son, whom he gave to us and who was born for us, should through his own blood offer himself as a sacrificial victim on the altar of the cross. This was to be done not for himself through whom all things were made, but for our sins.

Francis of Assisi

Willed Will Whom

I'm very strong willed and I'm very impatient as well.

Geert Wilders

Willed Will Well

When I was on dialysis, I willed myself to do 'On the Town.' It accesses my most childlike, joyful love of theater.

George C. Wolfe

Love Willed Will

It seems to me a worthy goal: try to create a representation of consciousness that's durable and truthful, i.e., that accounts, somewhat, for all the strange, tiny, hard-to-articulate, instantaneous, unwilled things that actually go on in our minds in the course of a given day, or even a given moment.

George Saunders

Truth Mom Men

To place oneself in the position of God is painful: being God is equivalent to being tortured. For being God means that one is in harmony with all that is, including the worst. The existence of the worst evils is unimaginable unless God willed them.

Georges Bataille

I'm not strong-willed, actually. I'm a complete pushover. I love to be told what to do.

Helen Mirren

In its entirety, probably, it follows us at every instant; all that we have felt, thought and willed from our earliest infancy is there, leaning over the present which is about to join it, pressing against the portals of consciousness that would fain leave it outside.

Henri Bergson

I didn't know what to expect of real America. What shocked me was the diversity of it and how different every city is. But also just how polite and usually good-willed and optimistic most Americans are.

Hozier

If you wish to spare yourself and your venerable family, give heed to my advice with the ear of intelligence. If you do not, you will see what God has willed.

Hulagu Khan

I was emancipated at 15 and off to Japan on a contract working. I felt for my parents. I apologized profusely years later, but I was just very strong-willed and strong-minded and had my own idea - thought outside of the box.

Jaime Pressly

A director must be patient and unflappable. I think I was always pretty relaxed. I don't find shooting as traumatic as some directors do. Some hate it. But you also have to be strong-willed and persistent enough to get what you want.

James Ivory

I'm not strong-willed enough or unkind enough... or maybe simply not wise enough to tell a journalist that a subject is out of bounds.

James Nesbitt

I had a very strong-willed mother, who I totally adored. She was always in control of her life.

Jan de Bont

In this business, I don't know how you can have a plan or how you can orchestrate anything. But I've been lucky with my choices. I'm very strong-willed, so I've been able to stick with it. I'm lucky there.

January Jones

The U.K. voted for Brexit and a lot of weak-willed, lily-livered people will say 'yeah but the people did not know what they were voting for, they had no idea of what this was going to entail.' Those are the people who are saying 'lets get a second referendum, let's make the people aware this time that there is, in fact, a lot more to this.'

Jeremy Kyle

I think I was born strong-willed. That's not the kind of thing you can learn. The advantage is, you stick to what you believe in and rarely get pushed out of what you want to do.

Joan Jett

Adversity will only sharpen our wits and make us more strong-willed, resulting in the political awakening of more Hong Kongers, not to mention the international community's support.

Joshua Wong

I can assure you we are all strong-willed, forceful personalities and the president encourages vigorous debate.

Karen Hughes

I'm strong-willed, but that doesn't mean I can't work with people if we're all in the mission of trying to make a good movie.

Karyn Kusama

The willed recovery of what's been lost - often forcibly, I suppose - is what keeps me going. It is this reason I found myself a poet and a collector and now a curator: to save what we didn't even know needed saving.

Kevin Young

I've always been this strong-willed person and I've always been in love with acting.

Kristy Swanson

Journeys, like artists, are born and not made. A thousand differing circumstances contribute to them, few of them willed or determined by the will-whatever we may think.

Lawrence Durrell

My mom is such a strong, independent, strong-willed woman, and she always taught me to accept my worth for how I viewed myself and female empowerment, and it's okay to be independent and also need someone at the same time. I kinda get to be both.

Lily Collins

As Jamaicans, we're very resilient and strong-willed people.

Lyriq Bent

There's no controlling Billie - she's an authentic person. She's strong-willed and speaks her own mind, but she also listens to reason.

Maggie Baird

There were 100 intellectual reasons not to pursue 'Wicked.' There were times where it was very challenging, where the mind said, 'This is maybe too challenging,' but the heart willed it. The heart willed it to succeed.

Marc Platt

Since pre-Emancipation, black 'females' have had to fight for the whites-only privilege of being deemed 'ladies': cultured, educated, sexually desirable in a socially respected way. Michelle Obama has managed to get all this without yielding her right to be smart and strong-willed.

Margo Jefferson

The paradoxical War on Terror is based on a kind of willed stupidity; the willed stupidity of wishful thinking. Only the logic of dreamwork can suture 'War' with 'Terror' in this way, since terrorists were, by classical definition, those without 'legitimate authority' to wage war.

Mark Fisher

My mother was a strong-willed and opinionated woman - a Sicilian! - and if she didn't like something, she'd let you know about it. So her undying support of her kids went a long way in proving to us that we were on the right path.

Marlo Thomas

Architecture is not a profession for the faint-hearted, the weak-willed, or the short-lived.

Martin Filler

When I started 'Hudson Hawk,' I realized I was dealing with a strong-willed producer, a strong-willed actor, and, at times, a strong-willed studio, and I was the junior partner in all of this - the guy who hadn't proven anything in terms of box-office success.

Michael Lehmann

A lot of children are interested in fairies, especially young girls, and Tinker Bell is the ueber-fairy. She's the pin-up girl of fairies. She's the ultimate fairy, but she's also got a mischievous spirit and she's very strong-willed. I think a lot of youngsters recognize themselves in Tinker Bell.

Michael Sheen

My mother was strong-willed, demanding, and very supportive all at the same time.

Michael Spence

It's so necessary to try and record the cultural memory of people. To set it down for generations to come. To better understand where we are headed. The problem is, a good portion of what we choose to remember is about willed forgetting. Which we all do, I believe, to protect ourselves from what is too difficult.
