The film industry is actually a tough place to survive.

The mentality with African and European people is different.

I think it comes from far away inside me, to be strong to survive everything that comes my way.

I think I’m very defensive, but I’m trying not to be like that anymore.
Maggie Cheung
Even when I was living below the poverty line as a novelist, I was still living better than 99.5% of the human population of the world. But in my little, soft realm of trying to amuse a few dozen middle-class people with my books and articles, I did struggle to survive in my own way.

Rush Limbaugh
What is ominous is the ease with which some people go from saying that they don’t like something to saying that the government should forbid it. When you go down that road, don’t expect freedom to survive very long.

Steve Mann
Roblox is less a game than a 3-D social platform where you and your friends can pretend to be in different places.

For me, it was always that one extra job that you do to survive in the industry. I also realised that I was not well-sculpted as an actor because I was getting a lot of rejections. I stopped acting and focused on casting.
Abhishek Banerjee
Very little is known about Hugh Glass as a real guy that existed 200 years ago, except that he was attacked by a bear, betrayed and left for dead, and has to survive in the winter. I said, ‘What really drives a human to survive those conditions?’

Nicolas Cage
I have met vegetable growers who offer seasonal produce grown for taste rather than the ability to survive weeks in cold storage; meat producers who rear fantastic rare-breed pork, lamb and beef; and delis that stock local produce that will never find its way into supermarkets because it is not made in bulk.

Art is permitted to survive only if it renounces the right to be different, and integrates itself into the omnipotent realm of the profane.
Theodor W. Adorno
I was actually quite surprised how many more mythologies there are about mermaids than the ones our society knows.

In Peru, there is no theatre that produces an annual opera season, and though there is one orchestra in Lima, it’s always struggling to survive. We shouldn’t have just one orchestra, we should have 15, we should have 50! And you should start to build this from the children.

Winnie Madikizela-Mandela

You reach a point where you’re trying to survive. You’re just trying to put the ball in play. You’re not yourself. You’re searching for your identity as a hitter on a nightly basis.

Richard C. Armitage

Bernie Sanders
I was brought up with a scientific outlook on life. It’s the way my father deciphers the world – whether it’s football, politics or hairstyles. So I don’t get anxious about the future, because I was raised to believe and accept that nothing stays the same, and the best way to survive is to adapt.
Anne Wojcicki
I know that there’s a god because I was able to survive everything that I’ve been through – all of the tough times – and I’m still at the top of my game.
Floyd Mayweather, Jr.
In order to survive in a very small tribe, you needed to know how to do lots of things for yourself: how to make your tools, how to get food, and how to make your clothes – things most of us today don’t need to know. The only thing I need to survive is to know history.

Twyla Tharp
It is in the genes of cities to bounce back from disasters – whether natural or man made. The denizens of suburbia have no choice but to survive and move on. But it is the manner in which different cities respond to emergencies that sets them apart.

The United Nations is calling this the decade of action, from 2020 to 2030, because if we don’t take immense action, there will be irreversible damage. If we don’t, we are looking at an increasingly difficult world to survive in.
Aidan Gallagher
My all-time favorite is Brad Pitt in ‘Interview with the Vampire.’ He’s so sexy. I’m a fan of anything he does, but in that film he’s a vampire who doesn’t want to feed. There’s something super sexy about someone who has to feed to survive but doesn’t want to do it.
Kayla Ewell
You’re always going to survive the pain of loss. I can live with that confidence inside of me.

Phil Gingrey
I want my words to survive translation.
Kazuo Ishiguro
Universities used to prepare young adults for the real world. I dare say the graduates today go in without a clue and graduate without a clue.

Dale Archer
I had to fight all my life to survive. They were all against me… but I beat the bastards and left them in the ditch.

Richelieu Dennis
Short fiction and the novel, nonfiction and fiction, electronic texts and books – these are not opposites. One need not destroy the other to survive.
Celeste Ng
‘Blueprint 3’ is made up of songs, but it’s also a commentary on the idea that in order for rap to survive, we have to stretch out the drama. We have to stretch out the audience. It can’t be this narrow – we have to stretch out the point of view.
Jay-Z
We have lost our vision for the future. Before, we say, ‘Nothing will be the same. Cars will fly, and we go to the end of the universe.’ We have this kind of naive but exciting idea of the future. Now, the vision has been reduced to ways to select our garbage and how to survive global warming.
Jean-Michel Jarre

Sylvia Earle
I have a hard time being career-minded, but I want to be able to survive as an actor and do work that I think is important and that says something.
Jason Ralph
Jazz isn’t dead yet. It’s the underpinning of everything in this country. Whether it’s a Broadway show, or fusion, or right on through classical music, if it’s coming out of the U.S., it’s not going to survive unless it’s got some jazz influence.
Dave Brubeck
We must respect the interior laws of creation, of this Earth, to learn these laws and obey them if we want to survive.

Timothy Noah
I think the guys who are sort of infantry in Somali piracy are not unlike low-level drug dealers in urban areas in America, who see it as, you know, not having many other options. I think it comes down to money and needing to survive.
Cutter Hodierne
I think my dad really wanted me to survive the world. He knew as a psychologist how difficult the world is, and I think he wanted me to be tough.
Molly Bloom
I have been in the most dangerous of places just in order to survive. An intelligent man would stay in a safe place to survive.
Reinhold Messner
I was depressed after the transplant because it’s very tough to understand the trauma you still face. I remember emptying a big bag of medication and just crying and thinking, ‘For me to survive another day, this is what I’ve got to take. For the rest of my life. I’m not sure I can continue.’
Andy Cole
What are you going to do to preserve a tradition that is the peculiar and unique culture that Judaism inculcates? The American Jewish community is not going to survive by lining up against its common enemy.
Arthur Hertzberg
We generally pretend to be something to survive in a society. So the characters I play, I want them to be wholesome characters. They are not necessarily the most wise people, but they do have a heart and soul.
Vikrant Massey
I wanted to be heard myself, which is hard in a household of people who were very showy. It forced me to find myself and define a personality and a way of being different, and that’s a thing that’s going to help me to survive in a world of many people playing the guitar.
Martha Wainwright
When Kogi started, I was dead broke, selling tacos on the street just to survive.
Roy Choi

Karyn Kusama
I spent four years in the United States Army between 1985 and 1989, and I certainly learned how to survive out in the woods.

I’ve been able to survive a lot of things, and I am especially interested in survivor stories.

Padgett Powell
Unlike Hezbollah, Israel’s more modest aim is to survive, and that it has done.

Monica Crowley
Being at a very high quality level was the only way for us to survive.
Pier Luigi Loro Piana
There are lots of different strategies that an animal can use to survive. What a worm does is try to convert food into worms as soon as possible. In three days a single worm produces 300 progeny. So why put your resources into developing if you can make a brand-new worm in no time at all?
Cynthia Kenyon
We all rely on technology to communicate, to survive, to do our banking, to shop, to get informed, but none of us knows how to read and write the code.
will.i.am
Humanity needs dreams to be able to survive the miseries of daily existence, even if only for an instant.
Oscar Niemeyer
It’s a false choice to say we either have job safety or job growth. It’s a false choice to suggest that the only way for a business to survive is to make sure workers have low wages and little or no benefits. There are ample models across this country where we’ve demonstrated the contrary.
Tom Perez
North Korea is still my homeland, my country. I suffered on the outside because I was alien, without identity. I was nobody. I was in the worst situation, fighting for everything, to survive.
Lee Hyeon-seo
When you grow up in poverty and learn how to survive it, it’s something that stays with you forever.
Arnel Pineda
I want my words to survive translation. I know when I write a book now I will have to go and spend three days being intensely interrogated by journalists in Denmark or wherever. That fact, I believe, informs the way I write – with those Danish journalists leaning over my shoulder.
Kazuo Ishiguro
We’re all playing a role. You’re playing a role at home, you’re playing a role at work, you’re playing a role to survive.

Gina Miller
High corruption and the influence of big business and the wealthy elite keeps the poorest Nigerians trapped in poverty and cut off from the benefits of economic growth and basic services. Some people – searching for the means to survive – became vulnerable to groups like Boko Haram.

Satyadev Kancharana

Michelle Paver
If you look at our original business model with the verticalized law firm, a lot of these companies that have this kind of full stack model are not going to survive. A lot of these companies, Atrium included, did not figure out how to make a dent in operational efficiency.

Rebecca Serle
My life also prepared me to play T-Dog. That was what my entire life was about – surviving. To be on the set of ‘The Walking Dead,’ it was like being back home. I had to survive again, though in the fictional world.
IronE Singleton
I think there’s definitely a potential there for a congregation to survive without the Crystal Cathedral. The congregation is the people. It’s not the building.
Robert A. Schuller
You get to a certain age, and you are forbidden access. You’re not going to get the kind of coverage that you would like in music magazines; you’re not going to get played on radio, and you’re not going to get played on television. I have to survive on word of mouth.
David Bowie
Cricketers have a very short shelf life. On an average, you make money through cricket for five years, but you need to survive for sixty years.
MS Dhoni
If mountain gorillas are to survive and propagate, far more active conservation measures urgently need to be undertaken. The question remains, is it already too late?
Dian Fossey
When our forefathers put down roots in desolate places, the thing that allowed them to survive was that they had a faith to see them through the tough times.
Lee Greenwood
Humor was not important only for me, humor was important for this nation for centuries, to survive, you know.
Milos Forman
One thing about the entertainment industry – it’s not something that people need to survive.
Satoru Iwata
Time and time again, our species has escaped existential threats by reinventing ourselves, finding new skills not coded in our genes to survive new challenges not previously encountered.
David Grinspoon
For any relationship to survive, one needs excellent communication.
Kunal Khemu
As I represent the next generation of the Akkineni clan, I’m expected to do much more. It’s the only fear that makes me realize how hard I have to work to survive.
Akhil Akkineni
I guess becoming an adult and learning how to survive on your own is exciting.
Maika Monroe
The only way to survive is to have a sense of humour.
Bob Newhart
A lot of people need technology to survive. And if you’re renting it and you don’t own it or have control over it, you’re at the mercy of whoever does.
Zoe Quinn
I remember I used to go school with guys who couldn’t afford notebooks, pens, paper: the necessary tools needed in order to survive in school. It’s a lot of kids in Gary who are at a disadvantage without that.
Freddie Gibbs
I think that when you decide to dedicate yourself to creative endeavors and surround yourself with people who are creative, you very quickly learn how hard it is to survive doing those kinds of things, not to mention make a living at them.
Oscar Isaac
For me, basketball was always about survival because I was just trying to get out the hood, right? When I got to Chicago, I’m like, ‘I’m just trying to survive, and anybody I got to step on or break, so be it.’
Metta World Peace
Traditionally, in the technology industry, companies need to re-invent themselves every 3-7 years to survive. If the company misses one transition, it can still recover, but if it misses two, it is usually fatal.
Maciej Kranz
There’s no agents or managers to represent them. Dancers don’t have any voice. They have nothing. Nobody can afford a flat to live in. They have to share to be able to survive. In a place like the Royal Ballet, that shouldn’t happen.
Sergei Polunin
I had to figure out how to survive in New York, and most of my time was occupied in getting an apartment and getting money. A lot of older jazz guys looked out for me and found me gigs and places to stay.
Wynton Marsalis
I was a monster. I don’t deny it. I wasn’t a monster until a few years ago. But you have to be a monster to survive in New York City. New York City doesn’t give a damn about violence.
Bernhard Goetz
We shall require a substantially new manner of thinking if mankind is to survive.
Albert Einstein
Overall, my life has been one of survival, and the decisions that I have made along the way, including my identification, have been to survive.
Rachel Dolezal
I’ve always been fascinated by the Gold Coast. The homes themselves are spectacular, unlike anything you’ll see other than in Newport, Bar Harbor or Palm Beach. It’s a very special area that, because of local demographics, is not going to survive much longer.
Nelson DeMille
I’ve been a Cub all my life. I came up here when I was 20 years old and spent my whole career here in Chicago. I’ve always been an optimist; I believe you have to be in order to survive, to be honest with you – in health, with what I’ve been through. That’s the way I am.
Ron Santo
I think power will do anything to survive and one of its main techniques is the rule of exceptions. So it makes an exception out of people and we worship them, whether that’s Nelson Mandela, Martin Luther King or Rosa Parks. These people become beatified beyond recognition.
Jess Phillips
Any comic is a tragic soul. Comedy is one of the things that allows one to survive. Particularly if one has been in the process of separating off the emotions, it’s one place you can process them.
Twyla Tharp
I took some voice lessons here and there as a teenager but nothing too serious. I started taking it more seriously when I was in Miss Saigon. I needed to improve my technique in order to survive doing that show as many time a week as I was doing it. It’s not an easy show to sing, so I needed all the help I could get.
Lea Salonga
To succeed at selling a losing product, you must develop seriously superior sales techniques. In addition, you have to be massively competitive and incredibly hungry to survive in that environment.
Ben Horowitz
Overtime, hatchery fish tend to show signs of domestication and these traits adapted to the hatchery environment can make it more difficult to survive in the wild.
Norm Dicks
Companies that tend to survive are the rebels.
Dave McClure
For me, my realism has stood me over 15 years, so the kind of films that I have done has garnered enough respect for me to be able to survive the industry.
R. Madhavan
Extreme rules, hardcore wrestling – whatever they want to call it – was born out of a necessity to survive.
Terry Funk
It used to be that people needed products to survive. Now products need people to survive.
Nicholas Johnson
Having started with Bollywood and then moving to Telugu industry, I feel that it is not possible to survive without talent in any industry.
Raashi Khanna
We need to direct our efforts toward one goal, and that is to survive.
Lucio Tan
Any fool can make enough money to survive. It’s another thing to keep yourself consistently entertained. It’s a lot of work, and a lot of fun, to make a life.
Robert Fulghum
There is a psychological and physical toll from the pressure to recreate ourselves in midlife. To survive as workers, we have to deny, on some level, the realities of our bodies – bodies that age and give birth.
Alissa Quart
I believe in myself, and that’s why I take criticism. You need to be very strong to survive in Bollywood. If someone calls me a bad actress, I won’t live with it but will work towards improving myself.
Esha Gupta
We need a feminist movement that is robust enough to survive women who have preyed on others without trying to justify their behavior or maligning their victims.
Bari Weiss
We believe in some basic human principles – everyone should have the opportunities not just to survive, but to excel with their God-given talents and abilities. Those are the values that should be reflected in our budgets.
Patrick J. Kennedy
I respect anyone who could take a stagecoach ride from the East Coast to the West. You had to be a very special kind of person to survive that because it’s the most uncomfortable ride in the world.
Sinbad
Here on Earth, we’re exposed to asteroids hitting the Earth, eventual changes in the Sun, changes in the Earth’s climate, things we’re doing to the Earth’s climate. If we want to survive, we need to become a multi-planet species. That’s further down the road, but the first wave is going to be the explorers.
John M. Grunsfeld
I wanted to write something that reflected the violence and horror of the world, but I also wanted to reflect the way people fight to survive, even when society wants to crush them.
Sabaa Tahir
When you are a beginning film maker you are desperate to survive. The most important thing in the end is survival and being able to get to your next picture.
George Lucas
It breaks my heart to hear of our theatres struggling to survive. As well as playing a vital role in community life, they’re guardians of our heritage and should be cherished.
Prunella Scales
I have to laugh because despite the destruction, we cannot let ‘them’ steal our pleasure. That is always the theme of my performances: I’m here to thrive, not just to survive.
Lydia Lunch
If any civilization is to survive, it is the morality of altruism that men have to reject.
Ayn Rand
The best actors just stay in the moment,and whatever happens in the scene is a genuine surprise. You really do not know what’s going to happen next. But living that out in life is very dangerous because it throws you into a place where you don’t know if you’re going to survive.
Lee Grant
The study of consciousness that can extend beyond the body is extremely important for the issue of survival, since it is this part of human personality that would be likely to survive death.
Stanislav Grof
I think we’re all survivors, to be honest. I mean, some of us more than others – some of us have to survive far more horrendous things than others. It’s all relative: whatever your experience is.
Passenger
It has always been very difficult for writers to survive commercially in India because the market was so small. But that’s not true at all any more. It’s one of the world’s fastest growing and most vibrant markets for books, especially in English.
Aravind Adiga
Ju jitsu is very Buddhist. All that we fear we hold close to ourselves to survive. So if you’re drowning and you see a corpse floating by, hang on to it because it will rescue you.
Tom Hardy
I grew up in the East Village, in Alphabet City, when it was a very dangerous neighborhood. To survive there, I had to learn to be a little bit invisible.
Josh Pais
When I first came out, I was a film student, and my mom sewed clothes. I was already doing a million things then, whatever it took to survive. If I had to braid someone’s hair to get one pound for my lunch money, that’s what I did.
M.I.A.
We lived in the bowels of New York City. It was a struggle just to survive. This nice suburban kid hadn’t had to do much of that before.
Peter Bergman
Persia is 7,000 years old and will fight to survive.
Richard Engel
Comedy is a way to make sense of chaos. It’s a way of dealing with things that are overwhelming, that threaten you; it’s a way to survive and get closer to the truth.
Laura Linney
I think that we need to get along together if we want to survive in the twenty-first century.
Sarah Polley
If you look at cricket per se, if you didn’t have T20 cricket, Test cricket will die. People don’t realise. You just play Test cricket, and don’t play one-day cricket and T20 cricket, and speak to me after 10 years. The economics will just not allow the game to survive.
Ravi Shastri
Our fate is determined by how far we are prepared to push ourselves to stay alive – the decisions we make to survive. We must do whatever it takes to endure and make it through alive.
Bear Grylls
What we discovered, counter-intuitively, is that when you start killing a cancer cell, one of the things it does in order to survive is to spread even further. It causes itself to form new blood vessels. We’ve termed this ‘reactionary angiogenesis.’
Patrick Soon-Shiong
Comedians have to write to survive because you don’t get cast for your beauty.
Sally Phillips
Typically in ‘Game of Thrones,’ people who are honest and just and do things for the right reasons tend not to survive.
Richard Madden
I think naturally, if you’re an actor, there’s a high level of assertiveness that you need to have to survive this business. There’s boldness in being assertive, and there’s strength and confidence.
Bryan Cranston
I love what I do for a living, it’s the greatest job in the world, but you have to survive an awful lot of attention that you don’t truly deserve and you have to live up to your professional responsibilities and I’m always trying to balance that with what is really important.
Tom Hanks
You have to be self-reliant and strong to survive in this town. Otherwise you will be destroyed.
Joan Crawford
I don’t know how television or radio is going to survive without newspapers because that’s where they get all their news. It’s going to be hopeless.
Dan Jenkins
When you have these huge personalities at home you have to keep proving yourself to survive.
Aishwarya R. Dhanush
As long as artists can make something, artists will continue to survive.
Victoria Legrand
Books are our umbilical cord to life. They connect us deeply, and with more meaning, to the world. They aren’t about escaping from ourselves but expanding ourselves and finding within us the tools we need to survive.
Matt Haig
You have to be kind to yourself to survive in the world.
Paul Dini
We obviously need to make money to survive, but we aren’t going to sacrifice our creative integrity to do anything that doesn’t feel like us.
Chad Gilbert
Hitman does well and it certainly does well enough to survive, but at the same time I don’t want to involve the character into the DC Universe even if it meant more sales, to the point where we sort of upset the balance that we have at the moment.
Garth Ennis
That’s the goal, to survive your gift.
Itzhak Perlman
I always thought of my mother as a warrior woman, and I became interested in pursuing stories of women who invent lives in order to survive.
Lynn Nottage
We have to look for opportunities if we’re going to survive the next 50 years. We can’t depend on what we have now.
John Gokongwei
All my life, I have been a positive thinker… I have always been able to survive by telling myself that no matter how bad things are, they will one day be better. And that out of every event – no matter how tragic – one can always find a way to survive and even, perhaps, to be a little bit happy.
Zsa Zsa Gabor
If democracy is to survive Facebook, that company must realize the outsized role it now plays as both the public forum where our strident democratic drama unfolds and as the vehicle for those who aspire to control that drama’s course. Facebook, welcome to the big leagues.
Antonio Garcia Martinez
My mission in life is not merely to survive, but to thrive; and to do so with some passion, some compassion, some humor, and some style.
Maya Angelou
The film business was a great lesson in business combat and what it takes to survive.
Larry Wilcox
My father would go to work and try to survive every day just to get home to my mother so they could be at each other’s side. That’s what I want.
Johnathon Schaech
We have to fight sometimes to survive.
Jan Berry
After a bath, we all love to dry off with a towel. But do we need it to survive? No. It’s a luxury.
Victoria Coren Mitchell
I’m well past the age where I’m acceptable. You get to a certain age and you are forbidden access. You’re not going to get the kind of coverage that you would like in music magazines, you’re not going to get played on radio and you’re not going to get played on television. I have to survive on word of mouth.
David Bowie
Memphis breeds hustlers, I feel. It’s just cutthroat living period, so to survive around vultures and savages like that, it prepares you for whatever profession you go in.
Yo Gotti
I wouldn’t go so far to say that destiny preserves me. I managed to survive and to succeed.
Ariel Sharon
If I had been brilliant or a genius, I wouldn’t have needed to break the law just to survive.
Frank Abagnale
I pride myself in being able to survive just about any situation on stage now. I can handle pressure.
Billy Crystal
We are born with two kidneys and only need one to survive. Maybe God gave us the other one so that we could give it away.
Natalie Cole
I have a master plan as an artist. I’ve always said I’m not going to be punching nobody’s clock. I will work as an artist to survive in this world.
Erykah Badu
Good dreams don’t come cheap, you’ve got to pay for them and If you just dream when you’re asleep this is no way for them to come alive… to survive.
Harry Chapin
I will never create a romantic angle to survive on a game show.
Karishma Tanna
We have a deeply rooted misconception in our country that unhoused people have done something to deserve their conditions – when the reality is that unhoused people are living the consequences of our government’s failure to secure the basic necessities people need to survive.
Cori Bush
The WWE definitely needs to reinvent itself if it wants to survive.
Paul Walter Hauser
I nearly died three times in 2008, and when you go through those experiences, you realize that you’re blessed every day that you wake up. My world changed, my life changed, and with the help of my wife Jane, I was able to survive.
Jon Anderson
I’m doing this to survive. I’m doing this for my livelihood. I’m fighting with my heart and my soul and my passion. I’m going to give it everything I’ve got.
Diego Sanchez
I went into acting because I had to make a good living. I had a child now and I had to support him any way I could… I wasn’t happy, but I wasn’t unhappy. I was just doing what I had to do to survive.
David Soul
I don’t need to make a fortune, I need to survive.
Solomon Burke
As Christians, we are responsible for our fellow brothers and sisters suffering and fighting for the basic resources we all need to survive. To deny this is to turn a deaf ear to God’s teachings.
Catherine Cortez-Masto
To survive, China had to open up to the West. It could not survive otherwise. This was after many millions have died of hunger in a country that was like North Korea is today. Once we became part of global competition, we had to agree to some rules. It’s painful, but we had to. Otherwise there was no way to survive.
Ai Weiwei
My mother had two unshakable beliefs that she tried to drill into me. The first was that I had to study and work twice as hard as my white peers if I wanted to survive in America, and the second was that it was delusional and dangerous to believe I possessed the same freedom white people had to pursue my dreams.
Jenny Zhang
Our ancestors relied upon their advanced brains to survive during times of food shortage, and fortunately, the human brain is able to utilize body fat as an extremely efficient fuel to sustain function when glucose-providing food is unavailable.
David Perlmutter
The intensity of the Premier League is incredible. The levels of fitness you have to reach just to survive in it is absurd.
Jack Wilshere
The most fundamental fact about the ideas of the political left is that they do not work. Therefore we should not be surprised to find the left concentrated in institutions where ideas do not have to work in order to survive.
Thomas Sowell
Mammals are sentient beings that want to live and are afraid to die. Evolution vouchsafed us all with an instinct to survive, reproduce and flourish.
Michael Shermer
‘California Bones’ is the first volume in my trilogy about Daniel Blackland, a wizard trying to survive in a world that eats wizards. It’s a book about friends and family, trust and betrayal, the love of power and the power of love.
Greg van Eekhout
The physical and emotional qualifications to survive an apocalypse are naturally equalizing.
Lauren Cohan
This thing called nationalism is a treasure that a country uses to try to develop and a nationality uses to try to survive. China has lost this treasure.
Sun Yat-sen
You had to be tough to survive in my neighborhood.
Patty Smyth
And in which we say that life is eternal but continue to struggle to survive.
Neale Donald Walsch
For a film to be viable, it has to survive this process of scrutiny. I think most filmmakers have obsessive-compulsive tendencies and would be completely unemployable in any other job – so it’s great to be able to channel your psychological anomalies into something productive and creative.
James Marsh
Fear, separation, hate and anger come from the wrong view that you and the Earth are two separate entities, the Earth is only the environment. You are in the centre and you want to do something for the Earth in order for you to survive. That is a dualistic way of seeing.
Thich Nhat Hanh
Unfortunately, I think we’ve probably all had the experience that if we’re in a relationship where one of the partners is doing it ‘my’ way, that relationship is not going to survive.
Twyla Tharp
In the crowded and difficult conditions of a steep hillside, houses have had to struggle to establish their territory and to survive.
Stephen Gardiner
We have to have humor to survive 22 episodes a year of network television.
Sallie Patrick
It’s the Punjabi film industry that sustained me and my family for eight years. It is because of my work in Punjabi films that I was able to survive.
Raza Murad
That callousness that comes from feeling like you have to survive on your own – I really empathized with that.
Jodie Turner-Smith
Being funny wasn’t a career choice growing up, it was my way out of situations; a way to survive another day.
Tracy Morgan
Talent was not rare; the ability to survive having it was.
Neal Stephenson
You gotta have a good beat to survive in modern country in general. Everyone wants to feel good, laugh, dance, and cry. But at the same time, they all want it to sound happy.
Jon Pardi
When will the day come that our dignity will be fully restored, when the purpose of our lives will no longer be merely to survive until the sun rises tomorrow!
Thabo Mbeki
You have to kill to survive. People have been doing it forever. I eat meat, and I eat fish. If I were on a deserted island I would need that to survive.
Benicio Del Toro
For British cinema to survive, you really need a British film culture, and it’s got to start down there, with young kids watching films in the cinema – so they can be transported to a different world.
Gurinder Chadha
Because of outdated regulations, workers in different types of contract often have unequal access to healthcare, pensions, education, and training, as well as other social benefits. This has to change for countries to remain competitive and for our businesses and workers to survive in the digital age.
Alain Dehaze
Anxiety is a kind of fuel that activates the fight-or-flight part of the brain in me. It makes sure that a velociraptor isn’t around the corner and that you do as much as you possibly can to survive. Because Hollywood has a lot in common with ‘Jurassic Park’ and its primeval-dinosaur universe.
Ben Affleck
In America especially, if you’re Chinese and you work at a restaurant, there’s a certain connotation among the Chinese immigrant community: It’s the first generation that opens restaurants as a way to survive. You open to support your family so your kids can become doctors and lawyers.
Lulu Wang
If we choose to walk into a forest where a tiger lives, we are taking a chance. If we swim in a river where crocodiles live, we are taking a chance. If we visit the desert or climb a mountain or enter a swamp where snakes have managed to survive, we are taking a chance.
Peter Benchley
We depend on nature to survive… it is our responsibility also to take care of our home, planet Earth.
Albert II, Prince of Monaco
Independence feels like a luxury, where the reality is that it’s hard to survive financially for so many people out there.
Keiko Agena
I think it’s the human spirit inside of all of us that has an enormous capacity to survive.
Amanda Lindhout
To survive, men and business and corporations must serve.
John Henry Patterson
I was very fascinated by the time when firearms went from being fire sticks to being something people could use to hunt and to survive.
Joe Perry
Love and peace of mind do protect us. They allow us to overcome the problems that life hands us. They teach us to survive… to live now… to have the courage to confront each day.
Bernie Siegel
The hardest part of this whole ordeal is not knowing if your children are getting what they need to survive.
Susan Smith
We don’t need fashion to survive, we just desire it so much.
Marc Jacobs
In order to survive, I created a certain type of aura about myself that I was the baddest chick walking down the street. Anytime somebody underestimates me, Thug Rose comes out.
Rose Namajunas
I think it’s realistic to have hope. One can be a perverse idealist and say the easiest thing: ‘I despair. The world’s no good.’ That’s a perverse idealist. It’s practical to hope, because the hope is for us to survive as a human species. That’s very realistic.
Studs Terkel
Customers are willing to try new things, and if you can survive, you will have fewer competitors. It’s like entering the eye of the storm. As long as you are strong enough to survive, you can end up in still water by yourself.
Brian Chesky
I was the seventh of nine children. When you come from that far down you have to struggle to survive.
Robert Kennedy
I am ready to do whatever I need in order to survive.
Shakti Mohan
So what is so strange about saying I want Barack Obama to fail if his mission is to reconstruct and reform this nation so that capitalism and individual liberty are not its foundation? I want the country to survive. I want the country to succeed.
Rush Limbaugh
You’re taught that you can keep going in the military. Your point of collapse is not what you thought it was. Your body is built to survive, and when you think you’re going to collapse, you still have so much more left in you.
Kiesza
I’ve been told by the BBC that if I make one more offensive remark, anywhere, at any time, I will be sacked. And even the angel Gabriel would struggle to survive with that hanging over his head. It’s inevitable that one day, someone, somewhere will say that I’ve offended them, and that will be that.
Jeremy Clarkson
Jerry Ormand was already a legendary Texas oilman when I met him. Yet he took the time to introduce me to the fine points of the oil business and how to survive and prosper amid the chaos of a rough-and-tumble industry.
Dan Pena
If you want to survive the zombie apocalypse, you need to focus on increasing your stamina.
Tom Payne
The Big Five publishing companies are dinosaurs trying to survive in a post-meteor world. They won’t.
Tucker Max
Any poet, if he is to survive beyond his 25th year, must alter; he must seek new literary influences; he will have different emotions to express.
T. S. Eliot
When you come to Roblox, the player participates in things that are created by the community. You can hang out in a restaurant and try to survive a tornado. All of this is created by our creative community.
David Baszucki
I have become limitless and stronger. You don’t need that attitude to survive in Bollywood, but when you are doing a film like ‘Raaz,’ you can’t go on set with inhibitions.
Kriti Kharbanda
Everywhere people are at work to build a better world in which we – and some of the beauty of this world – will be guaranteed to survive. Everywhere they are at war with the forces threatening us and the planet.
Rebecca Solnit
We continue to subsidize highways and aviation, but when it comes to our passenger rail system, we refuse to provide the money Amtrak needs to survive.
Corrine Brown
I’d like to think I’ve overcome. I was not a person that was supposed to survive New York City, that was ever going to write my own songs or have children.
Shawn Colvin
The first time I was paid was with ‘The Lobster,’ because with the Greek films, we just had to pay ourselves – work for free while making commercials in order to survive.
Yorgos Lanthimos
It takes a real soldier to stay in the music industry and live off the things that have been put before me and be able to survive all this time because it has not been easy.
Chubby Checker
My parents instilled a really good work ethic from when I was little – if you want to have money to spend on holidays, you earn it. So I’ve always been someone who wanted to be able to survive by myself, but I think you have to let down the barriers a little bit – let other people in.
Emilia Fox
You kept quiet… When these victims wanted your help to survive, you kept quiet.
Paul Kagame
In the early ’90s, there was an attention to diversity. In this country, diversity was a good thing. People would use words like ‘multicultural’ and like it. Now, politically, those words are out. But I still feel theaters have to be diverse in order to survive.
Kenny Leon
As a social primate species, we modulate our morals with signals from family, friends and social groups with whom we identify because in our evolutionary past, those attributes helped individuals to survive and reproduce.
Michael Shermer
The earth is going to survive, it’s the people that aren’t.
Sixto Rodriguez
In the jungle, I can kill and eat a poisonous snake to survive. But on Bigg Boss’ I’d be chewed alive by those man-eaters.
Abhinav Shukla
Illicit trade corrupts corporations and governments alike, allows dictators to survive, and obscures oppression, including modern day slavery.
Sharan Burrow
But when you’re deprived of it for a lengthy period then you value human companionship. But you have to survive and so you devise all kinds of mental exercises and it’s amazing.
Wole Soyinka
There is pressure that comes with everything being a big deal. I remember thinking, ‘I need to survive the Shins. I don’t know what I’m going to do to make a living otherwise, but I really don’t want to do the Shins right now.’
James Mercer
Everybody likes money. I like money. I need money to survive. But I don’t love money. Money is not my god.
Rafael dos Anjos
It’s wrong that so many hardworking people – people working full-time, or even multiple jobs – need public assistance just to survive.
Tom Perez
I was looking for a husband, but meanwhile to survive, I had to work.
Helen Reddy
I appreciate every batsman in the world for different reasons. If I want someone to tough it out in the middle, I’d pick Steve Waugh. If I want someone who I know is going to have the technique to survive, you want a player like Tendulkar.
Brian Lara
As a single parent, I had become tyrannical in order to survive, and anything I couldn’t control caused me enormous anxiety. As a naturally untidy, disorganised man who never made lists or kept receipts, morphing into someone who could take care of a toddler on his own may have caused me to overcompensate a little.
Simon Van Booy
The film industry is a tough place to survive.
Daisy Shah
I do believe in humanism, and I believe that we should treat each other with respect and care and look after each other. All human beings should have an equal chance to survive in society, and inequality is a big problem in society.
Stellan Skarsgard
Don’t get me wrong, I’m grateful for everything, but I don’t wanna make it seem like I wouldn’t be able to survive without fame. ‘Cause I did it for 13 years.
Danielle Bregoli
In these dangerous times, where it seems the world is ripping apart at the seams, we can all learn how to survive from those who stare death squarely in the face every day, and we should reach out to each other and bond as a community, rather than hide from the terrors of life at the end of the millennium.
Jonathan Larson
We started our company out of a need to survive, but we’ve built it based on a mission not only to help others survive but to prosper. Because of that, our purpose – to empower people to live more beautiful lives – compels us to keep community at our core.
Richelieu Dennis
I’ve always been able to survive by writing, though.
John Milius
I believe that if we are going to create jobs in this country, then let’s create jobs that will absolutely put the working-class people at work to the point where they have one job. They don’t have to work three because they have to work Wendy’s, McDonald’s, and Walmart to survive.
Richard Ojeda
We need happy, productive citizens on our planet for us to survive.
Kimberly Elise
We don’t have to eat the best food to survive: a basic diet will get us through. We wear clothes to stay warm and hide our modesty, they don’t need to be the latest designer collection.
Laura Whitmore
Life isn’t meant to be easy. It’s hard to take being on the top – or on the bottom. I guess I’m something of a fatalist. You have to have a sense of history, I think, to survive some of these things… Life is one crisis after another.
Richard M. Nixon
I came from the outer suburbs of Melbourne, so you do learn how to survive in that environment.
Ben Mendelsohn
My strength of character is a privilege. I can do anything to survive. I don’t break easily.
Gina Miller
If you want to get an education in how to get a story and how to survive, then get a street reporter job in New York City.
John Tesh
In order to survive, you have to be alone with yourself to regenerate the spirit.
