You can choose, you can go one of two ways. you can be the person i probably admire more and say 'well i don't care and i'll continue not to bother to brush my hair.' or you can be a weak-willed person like me and think 'oh i'd better get my act together. and maybe my mother was right and i do need to put my hair back and tidy myself up a bit.' so i did tidy myself up a bit. but i do often resent the amount of time that it takes to pull yourself together to go on tv, i really do. if i sound bitter, then that accurately reflects how i feel about the subject.

More From J. K. Rowling

You make new year's resolutions. and you make them into the teeth of old resolutions which were different. then you don't keep your new resolutions and you tell yourself you are weak-willed. you aren't weak-willed, you are simply obeying yourself as of yesterday.
New Year Years Yesterday
If you spend your own money on yourself, you care how much you spend and how well you spend it. if you spend your own money on someone else, you care how much you spend, but you don't care how well it is spent. if you spend someone else's money on yourself, you don't care how much you spend, but you do care how well it is spent. and finally, if you spend someone else's money on someone else, you don't care how much you spend, and you don't care how well it is spent. that is government.

Because you think an explosion has taken place and you're looking at the shards and you say, 'well, can we put this back together?' and by god, maybe you can put it back together. and maybe it won't be the same, but maybe it will be different, and maybe it can even be better in a different way.
Taken Thinking Together
My mother got sick when i was rich. and my mother, you know … i don’t really want to get into it, but my mother was sicker than my father. and my mother’s alive. my mother’s fine, ok? i remember going to the hospital to see my mother and wondering, ‘was i in the right place?’ like, this was a hotel. like it had a concierge, man. if the average person really knew the discrepancy in the health care system, there’d be riots in the streets, ok? they would burn this m-therf—ker down!
Mother Father Men
I need a good book i need a good story. i need a good book. the kind that explodes off the shelf. i need some good writing, alive and exciting, to contemplate all by myself. i need a good novel, i need a good read. i probably need two or three. i need a good tale of love and betrayal or perhaps an adventure at sea. i need a good saga. i need a good yarn. a momentous and mightily or slight one. but with thousands and thousands and thousands of books, i need someone to tell me the right one. -john lithgow
Betrayal Book Writing
I want men to admire me, but that's a trick you learn at school--a movement of the eyes, a tone of voice, a touch of the hand on the shoulder or the head. if they think you admire them, they will admire you because of your good taste, and when they admire you, you have an illusion for a moment that there's something to admire.

Similar Quotes
We come to our own and would make friends with matter, which the ambitious chatter of the schools would persuade us to despise. we can never part with it; the mind loves its old home: as water to our thirst, so is rock, the ground, to our eyes, and hands, and feet. it is firm water: it is cold flame: what health, what affinity!

A fellow told me he was going to hang-glider school. he said, 'i've been going for three months. ' i said, 'how many successful jumps do you need to make before you graduate?' he said, 'all of them. '
