Quote examples
Jaden Smith
American Actor
Sometimes, life just gets to me where I just get so frustrated to the point of tears. If my blood sugar drops too low, then I will get upset about anything. If too many things happen in a row, especially being on tour and getting ready to release all of these emotions into the world - I'm just an emotional person in general.

Quote examples
Fred Couples
American Athlete
I could go away five or six weeks in a row and never touch a club. I would just look at them and say, 'I just don't want to; it's not that important.' And it wasn't that important. Golf - I don't want to answer loosely - I pay a lot of attention to it, but I don't ever really think about it.

Quote examples
Steve Jobs
American Businessman
For the past 33 years, I have looked in the mirror every morning and asked myself: 'If today were the last day of my life, would I want to do what I am about to do today?' And whenever the answer has been 'No' for too many days in a row, I know I need to change something.

Quote examples
Martin Scorsese
American Director
I think when you're young and have that first burst of energy and make five or six pictures in a row that tell the stories of all the things in life you want to say... well, maybe those are the films that should have won me the Oscar.

Quote examples
Gonzalo Higuain
Argentinian Athlete
Football, for me, is the most ever-changing sport in the world, because you can go seven games in a row, scoring in all of them; then, you don't score for two games, and already you're doing badly. You're in crisis.

Quote examples
Golda Meir
Israeli Leader
There can be no doubt that the average man blames much more than he praises. His instinct is to blame. If he is satisfied he says nothing; if he is not, he most illogically kicks up a row.

Quote examples
John Lithgow
American Actor
If it's well written and well directed and you've got good actors to work with, acting is easy. But making sure all the ducks are in a row is the hard part. It's very rare.

Quote examples
Phil Hellmuth
American Celebrity
It's always pretty cool to hit a card on the river, especially when you're lucky enough to do it two days in a row. But good fortune doesn't last forever.

Quote examples
Gennaro Gattuso
Italian Athlete
It's important that everyone rows in the same direction because I need all my players, those who don't get much playing time too.
