Tough Quotes

That jury is still out Picture Quote #1

When people hear that I’m a neuroscientist, they ask me tough questions. ‘Will grandpa learn to walk again after his stroke?’ ‘How can my son overcome his dyslexia?’ ‘What could have caused my best friend to become schizophrenic?’ When I can’t give satisfying answers, they look disappointed - and I feel embarrassed Picture Quote #1

I don’t need to be liked, but I need to be vital - on set or on stage - and I think that probably would be my advice: Stay vital. It’s about saying ‘no’ and asking the tough questions and believing in yourself when no one else will, but you have to know the rules to break them Picture Quote #1

When you’re walking at the airport, you’re expected to smile at people because they know you... I find that tough. I’m only trying to protect myself. So I don’t take my eyes off the floor.

I worry when athletes are simply used by their universities to produce revenue, to make money for them, nothing to show at the back end.

My job is to get people back to work and make tough decisions. I’ve been willing to do it Picture Quote #1

It’s tough being a dictator, but I’ve always thought it must be tougher being a hanger-on to a dictator.

It’s a tough problem that a company faces once they branch out beyond one set of offices in California into that big bad world out there Picture Quote #1

Evil is a really tough concept for me. The idea of a villain that is bad for bad’s sake seems kind of absurd Picture Quote #1
