Pain is easy; pain is something with which I am familiar.

As an actor, I’m familiar with having bursts of energy, where you’re giving things a try, and then you have down time.

I don’t think there is anybody who’s watching television right now who wants to see something because it looks good rather than feel something because it feels right or familiar or new or whatever.

The power of storytelling lies in its ability to make the familiar strange and the strange familiar

America’s genius has always been to take something old, familiar and wrinkled and repackage it as new, exciting and smooth

People have a hard time letting go of their suffering. Out of a fear of the unknown, they prefer suffering that is familiar

It was the beginning of the war. I was twelve years old, my parents were alive, and God still dwelt in our town.

Bite your lips, little brother…Don’t cry. Keep your anger, your hate, for another day, for later. The day will come but not now…Wait. Clench your teeth and wait…

I don’t travel with them, but they can’t be missing in my home. There have to always be dominoes. I used to play with my family—dad, my grandpa, my uncles

The fame isn’t important to me. It’s a blessing to have. Having so many people that support me, that love me and listen to my music, is beautiful.

Of course I miss playing for Manchester United. I played there for six years and that’s a long time. I am still interested in watching Manchester United and, you never know, maybe in the future I could return to play there. It’s always possible. I want to fulfil my contract here but, in the future, only God knows. I will not say I am not happy here at Real Madrid. I am really happy and everyone knows this is my club but, of course, I miss Manchester United, the boss, the players, because I left family there.

Tuesday will be a tough night for me. It’s like to return to the family who have not seen you for a long time. I spent a wonderful time there.

Sadly we in Britain have been all too familiar with acts of terror and members of my generation… know that we have been here before.

Become familiar with your home, but know also about your neighbors.

Son, when the Marine Corps wants you to have a wife, you will be issued one.

Dad almost died of a heart attack in the middle of making Apocalypse Now, the biggest movie of his life. It doesn’t make you want to jump into that business.

Our ancestors lived out of doors. They were as familiar with the night sky as most of us are with our favorite television programs.

Every mother contains her daughter in herself, and every daughter, her mother; and every mother extends backwards into her mother, and forwards into her daughter.

We might as well be true with ourselves

It seems impossible that any man could adequately describe his mother. I cannot describe mine

I got married, going to become father soon, being No. 1 in the sport that I love with all my heart. I mean, it’s pretty awesome.

In the Sagrada Familia, everything is providential.

Be civil to all, sociable to many; familiar with few, friend to one and enemy to none.

I’m interested in the gorgeous side of life, but also familiar with the dark side too.
