I couldn't sustain myself if I skimped on FOOD - I work 16-hour DAYS, I need the ENERGY, I can't AFFORD to be stingy on what I eat.

We need to think deeply about WHETHER we can sustain banks that are not only too BIG to FAIL, but potentially too big to bail.

Thus it cannot be DENIED that the masses which TODAY form our highest mountains were originally in a liquid state; for a long time they were COVERED by waters which did not SUSTAIN any LIFE.

Different mediums are giving a different kind of SATISFACTION. The REASON I do television, if I do WEB for the same reason, I will not be able to SUSTAIN it, and vice versa.

But it's HARD to sustain a SUCCESSFUL acting career TODAY.

We have over 500,000 ILLEGAL immigrants living in ARIZONA. And we SIMPLY cannot sustain it. It costs US a tremendous amount of MONEY of course in health care, in education, and then, on top of it all, in incarceration. And the federal government doesn't reimburse us on any of these things.

I THINK it's REAL easy to be famous these DAYS; it's not real easy to SUSTAIN success.

And I think the ROLLING polls put more pressure on them to SUSTAIN their beliefs and to improve their DELIVERY of the policy and their delivery of the ideas so that they can garner SUPPORT for whatever principle they're articulating.

You get a chance like that maybe once in your lifetime, and you are lucky to SUSTAIN it over that period of time. It doesn't MEAN to SAY that whatever I do in the future has no substance to it - I may present some new material I've got, and there are definitely new ANGLES of doing it - but I'm not looking to recreate another Led Zeppelin.

We only won our FREEDOM because of our ALLIES, and we can only SUSTAIN it because of them.

I don't answer the phone or do my email; I don't do anything until I've got the DAY's writing DONE. I have a WORD count for every day: 500 for fiction, 1,000 for non-fiction, and JOURNALISM is 1,500. That's a LEVEL I can sustain.

That is what I define as a novel: something that has a beginning, a MIDDLE and an END, with characters and a PLOT that sustain INTEREST from the first SENTENCE to the last. But that is not what I do at all.

It's one of the HARDEST things in the world to SUSTAIN a monogamous relationship for many years. People out there who have been with their partners for 30 years or more - I salute you. But it's just as HARD to admit SOMETHING isn't working and then try to MANAGE a civilised separation as best as you can.
