Because I Can Quotes

I still get nervous on dates. I’ll be sitting at dinner with a guy and I have to excuse myself and go to the bathroom because I can’t breathe Picture Quote #1

And to me, fame is not a positive thing. The idea of being famous is a lot better than the reality. It’s fantastic when you go to premieres and people cheer you, but it’s not real. And it’s totally not my approach to get my name on a club door just because I can Picture Quote #1

I’m not crazy about arenas just because I can sell them out. It doesn’t do anything for my ego at all. I want to play places where people don’t have to sit in the nosebleed seats and wonder what the hell is going on Picture Quote #1

Well, I write in exile because I cannot return to my country, so I have no choice but to see myself as an exiled writer Picture Quote #1

I’m an artist and I can draw very well. I’m amazed that everybody can’t draw well because I can do it so effortlessly Picture Quote #1

I compose my own stuff. I’ve been writing songs with words. I’ve been playing more on the keyboard because I can transpose it to sheet music on the computer Picture Quote #1

I’m tired of being congratulated for being thin because I can more easily fit into sample sizes from the runway Picture Quote #1

My biggest thing is banana pudding, but it’s the devil! So no one is allowed to bring it into my house. Because I can’t control myself. So why put it in my domain? Picture Quote #1

I don’t harp on what I could change about the past, because I can’t go back and change it. But definitely a lot of things I would change Picture Quote #1

Today I will go to wait for her again, because I cannot help it, because my whole being seems now to be bound up in the being of one so different from myself and yet so exquisitely familiar that I can scarely understand what has happened Picture Quote #1

Even when I try to stir myself up, I just get irritated because I can’t make anything come out. And in the middle of the night I lie here thinking about all this. If I don’t get back on track somehow, I’m dead, that’s the sense I get. There isn’t a single strong emotion inside me Picture Quote #1

I will be the answer at the end of the line. I will be there for you. Why take the time? In the burning of uncertainty, I will be your solid ground. I, I will hold the balance if you can’t look down. If it takes my whole life, I won’t break. I won’t bend. It will all be worth it, worth it in the end because I can only tell you what I know, that I need you in my life. When the stars have all gone out you’ll still be burning so bright Picture Quote #1

People invite me to dinner not because I can cook, but because I like to clean up. I get immediate gratification from windex. Yes, I do windows Picture Quote #1

It hurts because I can’t go out there and play football, but it hurts more because I have to be a father and explain what happened to my daughter Picture Quote #1

I live a very ordinary life. The rare awards ceremonies I go to are quite fun, because I can enjoy the irony of one minute walking to the tube, and the next being driven along the same stretch of road in a limo Picture Quote #1

I refuse to eat animals because I cannot nourish myself by the sufferings and by the death of other creatures. I refuse to do so, because I suffered so painfully myself that I can feel the pain of others by recalling my own sufferings Picture Quote #1

I quit because I can’t stand seeing kids come to class hungry and needing shoes. I thought I could do more by organizing farm workers than by trying to teach their hungry children Picture Quote #1

When I go to the cinema, I’m often frustrated because I can guess exactly what is going to happen about ten minutes into the screening. So, when I’m working on a subject, I’m always looking for the element of surprise Picture Quote #1

I’ll cry anywhere because I can do it quite subtly. Walking, that’s a good time to have a cry Picture Quote #1

Just because I can’t change everything, doesn’t mean I shouldn’t try to change anything at all Picture Quote #1

I was blessed with a sense of my own destiny. I have never sold myself short. I have never judged myself by other people’s standards. I have always expected a great deal of myself, and if I fail, I fail myself. So failure or reversal does not bring out resentment in me because I cannot blame others for any misfortune that befalls me Picture Quote #1

I act because I can’t seem to live with myself if I do not. I don’t know any other way to be. It isn’t something you can explain; it is just something that you do; it is something that you are Picture Quote #1

I don’t like to talk to people, because I can’t express myself satisfactorily. I don’t say the things I mean Picture Quote #1

I have to go out for lunch and dinner because I can’t cook. I need a woman to come and save me from my cooking Picture Quote #1

I’d rather a young black actor read about success as opposed to how tough it was. I get these roles because I can act and that’s it. Hopefully that’s it Picture Quote #1

I don’t even like to go out onto the streets sometimes because I can’t get anything done. People want pictures and autographs all the time Picture Quote #1

All my work, really, is based on my brothers and sisters. I had so many adventures with them and a big part of the work is to recreate those. It’s easy for me to be around a lot of people, because I can retreat. I can watch everything Picture Quote #1

Some musicians play blues, others classical jazz or bluegrass. I like to play political roles because I can merge my political interests with my creative interests Picture Quote #1

I’m bugged because I can’t believe I can’t speak every language there is. But I feel I can when I sit and am with somebody, and I can dance for them. Because dance is dialogue without language Picture Quote #1

I rise from bed the first thing in the morning, leaving my couch not because I am dissatisfied with it, but because I cannot carry it with me during the day Picture Quote #1
