When I stopped touring in the early '80s for a few years, it was a mistake looking back. I lost touch with my audience in a way and I think that was a bad career move.
Outside from with my older brother - and this would have stopped about age 12 - I haven't been in a physical fight in my life. We used to punch each other, but that was little kid punching. You're too scared to hit anybody really.
When you have stopped learning you have begun to die.
I stopped painting in 1990 at the peak of my success just to deny people my beautiful paintings, and I did it out of spite.
The US is headed for ruin and revolution. The revolution will almost certainly be put down, violently. But the ruin cannot be stopped.
I stopped beating up on myself. I stopped asking myself why I didn't sell this number of records, why I don't have corporate sponsorship. I just don't buy into any of that anymore.
Honey, some boys stopped by to see you. They had wood.
Parliaments have stopped laughing at woman suffrage, and politicians have begun to dodge! It is the inevitable premonition of coming victory.

I had never stopped thinking about the ideal car… All I had to do was construct a plant to build it.
I can't remember a time when I wasn't acting, so I can't imagine what I would do if I stopped now.
Well, I decided to stop. And I did. I stopped smoking, and I stopped speed at the same time.
The US tactical nuclear weapons are in Europe, let us not forget this. Does it mean that the US has occupied Germany or that the US never stopped the occupation after World War II and only transformed the occupation troops into the NATO forces?

And ever since, I've never stopped, I've never stopped playing music. I never went through a period where I didn't want to do it.
The runner stopped dead, lost his balance, froze in one of those violent attitudes in which the photographers petrify living reality.
As much wrong as I did in life and as many people as I hurt, I can say that God never stopped talking to me. I just stopped listening.
I was aware of my success, but I never stopped trying to get better.
High school is just horrible in general. So, I think it was a good time for me to have stopped acting. I got to be normal in high school.
