We treat sex so casually and use it for everything but what it is-which is ultimately making another human being with thoughts and feelings and rights.

Part of the reason that I wanted to become a footballer was to help my family and friends financially so that was one of the thoughts that kept me going.

I have absolutely no desire and no thought of quitting ever.

When I was younger, I thought about retiring.

I never thought of playing for Italy.

If you feel bored or uncomfortable as you're writing, ask yourself what's bothering you and write about that. Sometimes your creative energy is like water in a kinked hose, and before thoughts can flow on the topic at hand, you have to straighten the hose by attending to whatever is preoccupying you.

There are many who are not guilty of doing anything wrong but very guilty of sins of omission - the things they neglect to do - the good things - the kind, thoughtful words, compassionate thoughts and hopeful attitudes they might have had towards their neighbor.

I love 'Flashdance.' I thought it was so cool!

I write my films with Reema Kagti, and I think all the characters that I have written, somewhere or the other, reflect my thoughts, ideology and morality.

I was always incredibly obsessed with germs and cleaning and taking shower after shower after shower. Even when I was very young, I wouldn't tie my shoelaces because they had touched the ground. I had continuous repetitive thoughts that I couldn't get past. As a child, my mind was a lot busier than I was.

My thoughts on gay marriage are that everyone has the right to love and be loved, and that's the position I take.

I originally came out as gay when I was a teenager, then backtracked when I thought I had closed off the market a bit!

Because being CEO can feel lonely, I journal religiously as a way to express my thoughts, feelings and aspirations. Looking back at earlier entries helps me reflect on challenges and celebrate progress and successes.

The range of what we think and do is limited by what we fail to notice. And because we fail to notice that we fail to notice, there is little we can do to change; until we notice how failing to notice shapes our thoughts and deeds.

I'm thought to be a tough writer, but I'm really a softie.

The man who sows wrong thoughts and deeds and prays that God will bless him is in the position of a farmer who, having sown tares, asks God to bring forth for him a harvest of wheat.

I express myself through song when I can't let people in on my thoughts otherwise. I need the creative process.

I think I've far exceeded what I ever thought I could possibly do.

Once you replace negative thoughts with positive ones, you'll start having positive results.

I'm not glorifying it at all, I'm just basically telling you that sometimes I have suicidal thoughts. And maybe I should seek help, or maybe it's not that deep.
