Part of the issue of achievement is to be able to set realistic goals, but that's one of the hardest things to do because you don't always know exactly where you're going, and you shouldn't.
George Lucas

It is no use trying to sum people up. One must follow hints, not exactly what is said, nor yet entirely what is done.
John Greenleaf Whittier

I'm on this search trying to figure out exactly who I am and what I have to say to people.
Natalie Merchant

I started at 5 years old in the kitchen table with my family supporting me. I know where I'm from and I know exactly where I'm going.
Celine Dion

Well, I've always been interested in approaching a big city in a train, and I can't exactly describe the sensations, but they're entirely human and perhaps have nothing to do with aesthetics.
Edward Hopper

For the kind of thing that we were showing, the budget was sufficient. As we were speaking of in Haiti, we had not done that before in exactly this form and we had to have costumes for it.
Katherine Dunham

I did everything. I ran my life exactly as I wanted to, all the time. I never listened to anybody. I'm pig-headed.

English is clipped in speech. Texas is exactly the opposite.
Michael Caine

Pete Townshend

What the Who is all about is exactly that and it always has been. If it exists today for this concert, it's in response again to a function which is happening out there on the street.
Pete Townshend

Harvey Fierstein

Not exactly hit them, but I've restrained a few people.
Chuck Zito

It wasn't success, because Teller and I, by the time Asparagus Valley got together - within a year, we had achieved all our goals. I mean, our goal was to earn our living doing exactly what we wanted. Which is many people's goal.
