We are free only if we face the challenge of freedom, do the work of freedom, fight the fight of freedom and die the death for freedom.
Then the challenge is, once you left brain it and build it, then when you're on stage you have to know it so well that you can get lost in it. I don't want to be onstage looking like a robot, I want to be at the end of the day very emotional and what feels like someone being up there rather than reciting things. That's always the challenge, to analyze and then somehow lose yourself in something you absolutely know backwards and forwards. And nothing's going to surprise you, but you have to be surprised by it and let it surprise you.
The challenge artists face today is whether to be an underground, unheard genius, or to dilute their art for the marketplace.
I love a challenge, and I think it's when people least expect you to do something that you often do your best.
Creating a decent pop song is a challenge - and occasionally, once in every decade - it's kind of fun to do that.
Initially, before I came to Hollywood, I thought that the language barrier would be the biggest challenge, but I realized that actors all around the world, regardless of language, are all the same.
The challenge and love, for me, of acting is if you get to transform or do something you haven't done before. That's fun.
I've always been interesting in characters that challenge people and who are not always that easy to like.
I really do believe that if you don't challenge yourself and risk failing, that it's not interesting.
The heart of grief, its most difficult challenge, is not "letting go" of those who have died but instead making the transition from loving in presence to loving in separation.
As a woman, as a lesbian, as a Jew, much of what I call history, others will not. But answering that challenge of exclusion is the work of a lifetime.
I am pretty relentless about exercise. I love working out and doing cardiovascular workouts. I'm now doing the Whole Life Challenge to discover the unhealthy patterns in my diet and to adjust them to more reasonable levels. And more yoga!
It's no fun throwing fastballs to guys who can't hit them. The real challenge is getting them out on the stuff they can hit.
I dare you to be great! I challenge you to be great in every single thing you do!
It's a new challenge to see how people can change your look. I like words like transformation, reinvention, and chameleon. Because one word I don't like is predictable.
I love the challenge of taking something that may be boring to a lot of people but is unarguably important. It's irresistible. I always take projects that I'm paid to learns stuff. I study much harder now than I did when I was in college.
Surround yourself with good people, surround yourself with positivity and people who are going to challenge you to make you better.
The challenge is creating a character that's rich and interesting to warrant following for a number of years.
I've always had a desire to be provocative and to make people think, but it wouldn't be any challenge for me just to be shocking. That is where it begins for me, not where it stops. And I could be much more shocking. I think I've adopted a sense of subtlety. I don't sit around wondering how I can make myself even stranger to the world. I've simply evolved into the monster I created, and I'm quite happy with it.
Some Christians worried about a faith that was so embracing as to be meaningless, that exalted not the Almighty so much as the American way of life. When civil religion bleached the challenge from faith and left behind a watery patriotism, there was room for concern.
