I was a common man, and I will always remain a common man. No amount of stardom will ever consume my soul. Money comes, money goes. Fame comes, fame goes. I believe every human being is a celebrity in their own right.
A. R. Rahman
I wish I came from a more pure place. I don't have something to say from the bottom of my soul. I just know how to take stuff I like and repackage it in a slightly different way.
Adam Brody
Because it appears to me a hazardous thing to exchange my soul for my shadow.
Adelbert von Chamisso
O, my past years in Rangoon are spectres to haunt my soul; and they seem to laugh at me as they shake the chains they have riveted on me.
Adoniram Judson
I care what my reader thinks. There is no fancy recommendation you can give me that would matter to me as much as Mary Jane from Youngstown writing me a letter. There is not one. Don't need it, don't want it, don't require it, does not fill up my soul. It's about her, not about the rest of it.
Adriana Trigiani
My fate cannot be mastered; it can only be collaborated with and thereby, to some extent, directed. Nor am I the captain of my soul; I am only its noisiest passenger.
Aldous Huxley
When I have been exposed to so many films that are so bad, my soul gets crushed. I just feel intoxicated.
Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu
People say I am mad. I am not mad. I am trying to heal my soul.
Alejandro Jodorowsky
My mantra is: Let there be happiness in my soul, and let me share it with the world.
Alexandra Stoddard
I have fallen deeply in love with songs - musical theatre songs included - over the years, and this experience has taught me to hear and honor the writer's voice in my soul.
Alice Ripley
My soul desires a pre-industrial world, and since I can't have that, I don't really care for anything material.
Alison Moyet
To join or not to join films was the biggest choice I had to make. I'd done two years of biogenetic engineering, was an economics graduate and a gold medalist. I had also been a Bharatanatyam dancer from age five, always won the best actress award in school. Finally, I decided to do things for my soul, chose to act.
Amisha Patel
Love-making is so personal to me that if I do it on screen, it is like I am leaving a part of my soul. I cannot do that.
Amrita Rao
I hate getting my photograph taken; just because I'm a musician doesn't mean I should have to sell my soul and have pictures of myself on stage with a red face and sweaty armpits plastered over 'Heat!' every week. I'm not a model.
Amy Macdonald
I feel in the depths of my soul that it is the highest, most sacred, and most irreversible part of my obligation to preserve the union of these states, although it may cost me my life.
Andrew Jackson
I grew up a skinny Asian kid who was often ignored or picked on. It stuck with me and branded my soul. As I grew up, I tried to stick up for whoever seemed excluded or marginalized.
Andrew Yang
Your face makes my soul want to eat chocolate pudding!
Andy Milonakis
I think theater probably remains my favorite, sort of where my soul lives. It takes a lot of discipline, and you have to show up eight shows a week, no matter how you feel physically, mentally, emotionally - there's nobody to cut around that: you've got to tell the story yourself for two hours.
Anna Gunn
Suffer not thy wrongs to shroud thy fate, But turn, my soul, to blessings which remain.
Anna Seward
O Lord have mercy on me, to God I commend my soul.
Anne Boleyn
To Jesus Christ I commend my soul; Lord Jesus, receive my soul.
I'm always a big fan of a big pot of chicken soup. I like to make a big pot of that, and I keep it in my freezer so when I come off the road and I just want to sit in my pajamas on my couch and catch up on the DVR and dig into a nice big bowl of chicken soup. It feeds my soul.
I know nothing of God or the Devil. I have never seen a vision nor learned a secret that would damn or save my soul.
Art has been good for my soul. And it's been good for my brain. I think I'm a better painter now than I was a musician growing up. You struggle to see things and translate an image through your hands to a canvas.
I have a calling in my soul, if you like, to try to make my life in some way worthwhile. What is the value of my existence?
I've worked hard and tried to approach my career with as much honesty and integrity as possible. I've also had many blessings along the way and feel very fortunate to have a career that speaks so much to my soul.
When every court was saying 'no,' I believe God was still saying yes. I had to somehow find that faith and reach deep down in my soul and believe in the teaching that my mother taught me as a young boy, that God can do everything but fail.
My music is my soul speaking, literally. It's spiritual. It has a lot of feelings, a lot of pain.
When I sing, I go somewhere else. Every time after I sing, I'll ask, 'Did I do OK?' Because I feel like it's like my soul squeezing out of my vocal chords. I don't sit there and think about 'I'm gonna do this next...' I just sing. I sing from my heart, and my heart's got a little lonesome in it.
Music is my soul, and I love singing and dancing, but being on the road is not a real way of life for me anymore.
I remember specifically a couple of performances that I saw when I was young - River Phoenix in 'Stand by Me' and also Michael Jackson, in particular his ability to command such power and love while maintaining such deep vulnerability. It really moved my soul from a very young age.
It's really important for me that the people who listen to my music get something that can hopefully help them get through whatever they're going through. Music is the only thing that's able to help sooth my soul in that way, and my goal is to always put things out there that that do the same thing for other people.
Music is my soul and I can easily say, it is the secret of my youth.
Yes, it was love at first sight. I feel that after all these years, I have finally found my soul mate.
I love creating things that come from my gut and my soul.
I am very thankful and blessed that I haven't had to sell my soul and be anything that I'm not.
My Soul to Keep is the ultimate love story with a black man and a black woman. I call it the ultimate love story. It's about an immortal. We're shooting for this Fall and that's been a six year development right there.
I'm sick of giving creeps money off my soul.
It is my fondest wish that the gift of song that God has given me will flow from my soul to yours and help ease any burden that might weigh upon you.
I shall allow no man to belittle my soul by making me hate him.
I can take all the negative energy and turn it into a positive simply by purging my soul through music. That's how powerful music can be.
As a teenager, my dad taught me about the idea of unintended consequences, and I've had the experience, and how to deal with it, pounded into my soul over the years.
I don't deal well with being told what to wear and sit on a mark. It just feels like my soul is being ripped out.
My soul is not my own any more. I cannot live like I want to. I am going to give up films.
My husband and I are best of friends first and foremost. We fight like cats and dogs, but never stay mad for long. I was lucky to find him, he is in every way, my soulmate.
I can't tell a joke to save my soul. It's just not my thing, though I love to listen to jokes.
If you hear that my soul mate still tells one or more of his exes he loves her, I want to know. Audio recording is preferable.
My soul is not for sale.
As the hart desires the spring of living water, so my soul desires to leave the prison of this dark body and see You in truth.
I myself owe everything to French books. They developed in my soul the sentiments of humanity which had been stifled by eight years of fanatical and servile education.
