Unexpectedly, a fierce sense of protectiveness comes over me. Except I fight it back because I can hardly look after myself these days.
I worked for 20 directors as a production designer, most male. I was on the set to witness firsthand a range of sometimes atrocious emotions - well-documented firings, yellings, fights between directors and actors, hookers, abusive things, budget overages, lack of preparation. A man gets a standing ovation for crying because he's so sensitive, but a woman is shamed.
I'm ready to fight, I've been looking for my baby all night. If I get her in my sight, boom, boom, out go the lights.
I have always believed that women are not victims, we are agents of change, we are drivers of progress, we are makers of peace -- all we need is a fighting chance.
We just fight our way through it. But you can't just get up and walk out without repeating the behavior over and over.
I'm fighting for the girls that never thought they could win.
My next fight is always the most important fight, so regardless if I'm fighting for the title or not, I always have to go in there and give everything that I've got.
But the U. S. has to be careful. If our strategy depends on Sunnis doing the fighting to clear Mosul and Ramadi - and, as near as I can tell, that is the strategy - then you have to be careful that Sunnis don't perceive the U. S. to be operating arm in arm with Iran or with Iranian-backed Shiite militias that Abadi - Prime Minister Abadi is using in Iraq, so that, in effect, we're fronting for Iran.
And it is essential that in fighting terrorism, sacrifices should not be made on democracy.
when someone you love dies, he becomes your enemy; he fights you tooth and nail from a hidden position; he successfully raids what small provisions you have gathered to keep yourself going.
I'm not a pacifist. I feel that there are situations where fighting is inescapable, but we don't go looking for those things.
The fight against HIVAIDS requires leadership from all parts of government - and it needs to go right to the top. AIDS is far more than a health crisis. It is a threat to development itself.
Taiwan and China are related ethnically and close neighbors geographically. There's no reason to resent or to fight against each other.
Four years ago, I was fighting for the world championship title in Puerto Rico. The spectators bad-mouthed me; they called me a faggot. They told my opponent to pluck my feathers. In Puerto Rico, when you talk disparagingly about a gay man, you call him a duck. That's when I realized that something had to change.
I've been boxing for 25 years and I need exciting fights.
I respect a person that has had to fight and howl for his decency.
Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting my friends
Be kind to one another, because most of us are fighting a hard battle.
Prepare, and be forewarned in time. If thou hast tried and failed, O dauntless fighter, yet lose not courage: fight on, and to the charge return again and yet again. . . Remember, thou that fightest for man's liberation, each failure is success, and each sincere attempt wins its rewards in time.
My intention was to fight Durán ASAP because I knew Durán's habits. I knew he would indulge himself, he'd gain 40–50 lbs and then sweat it off to make 147.
