I need to be in a stable environment right now in my career. What I mean by that is a place where I can play and not have too much pressure on me and a place I can develop. Monaco WANTED me and did WHATEVER they could to GET me so I feel very very GOOD about that.

There was a stage when Balanchine and I didn't talk. I was trying to develop my classical technique as opposed to the fast-track technique that he was pushing. We were very quiet with each other. But after two years he saw what I was doing and sent MESSAGES through other people that, YES, this is GOOD.

You've got to eat while you dream. You've got to deliver on short-range COMMITMENTS, while you develop a long-range STRATEGY and vision and implement it. The success of doing both. WALKING and chewing gum if you will. Getting it DONE in the short-range, and delivering a long-range PLAN, and executing on that.

I really believe that you grow up a certain WAY in New York. There's a New York MORALITY, a sense of loyalty. You KNOW how to win and LOSE. There's a thousand kids outside, you know who to PUSH and who not to push. There's a sixth sense you develop just because it's New York.

I THINK WOMEN don't grow up with the harsh world of CRITICISM that men grow up with, we are more sensitively TREATED, and when you first experience the world of film-making you have to develop a very tough skin.

The MENTAL focus it takes to COMPETE against the best players in the world is not easy to MAINTAIN. Developing mental toughness is a learned trait, and if you can't develop it in your pursuit of success, you likely won't last in any competitive line of work for more than a CUP of coffee.

When you grow up as the daughters of George and Laura BUSH, you develop a SPECIAL appreciation for how blessed we are to LIVE in this great COUNTRY.

On the stage you DEVELOP a CHARACTER that's different from yourself. In a film they're always SAYING, 'Walk over here. SAY this LINE. Be you.'

It never CEASES to amaze me what it takes to DEVELOP and BRING to mass production a PRODUCT.

A FAMILY can DEVELOP only with a LOVING WOMAN as its CENTER.

The fundamental premise is that NEITHER the United STATES or the INTERNATIONAL community is going to allow Iran to develop a nuclear WEAPON.

You have to DEVELOP ways so that you can TAKE up for yourself, and then you take up for someone else. And so sooner or later, you have ENOUGH COURAGE to really STAND up for the human race and say, 'I'm a representative.'

As a REPORTER, you DEVELOP an EAR for dialogue because it's your job to capture it accurately.
