I’m definitely responsible for the image that I put out there. But it does become frustrating, because I don’t want ‘sexy‘ to be my defining characteristic. I’d love for my ambition and will and intellect and sense of humour to define me as well.
259
260
The thing about film-making is I give it everything, that’s why I work so hard. I always tell young actors to take charge. It’s not that hard. Sign your own cheques, be responsible.

270

271

272
273

276
277
278

279
280
Remember that your imagination is yours and yours alone. You have the inborn capacity to use it in any way that you choose. No one else is responsible for your imagination. Anything placed in your imagination and held there ultimately becomes your reality.
281
The U.S. should be equally responsible for diminishing the cocaine market within the United States as it is in fighting the drug elsewhere.
282
283

I don’t feel responsible for things I didn’t vote for.
287
288

290

292
293
Only by taking responsibility for oneself, to the greatest extent possible, can one ever be free, and only a free person can make responsible choices – between right and wrong, saving and spending, giving or taking.

My focus and that of all members of the Government responsible for delivering services to the public is to make sure that the public sector can use all the skills it needs to do the job the public wants it to do.

306
It strikes me as a sound, honest statement for a prospective voter to say: ‘Look, I haven‘t given this election a minute’s thought, and it’s just not fair for me to cancel out the vote of someone who actually gives a damn.’ Indeed, it’s not just sound and honest – it’s the ethically responsible thing to do.
307
Motorcycle riding has been a passion of mine since my 20th birthday, and as a proud member of the American Motorcyclist Association and the Harley Owners Group, I can attest that responsible riding has many unique recreational benefits for millions of Americans.

309
What I worry about is that when problems are not addressed, people will not know who is responsible.
310

312
313
314
Never has a strong, responsible trade union movement been so needed. With austerity policies biting hard and with no evidence that they are working, people at work need the TUC to speak up for them now more than ever.
315
If you run a business, if you are responsible for a lot of people, you come to grips with the reality that you have to have discipline. You have to protect the enterprise in order to take care of the employees. So, therefore, you can’t be wasteful. You can’t squander things, or you jeopardize other people.
316
We must differentiate between guilt and duty. The soldier on the front, like the common man, who does his duty everywhere, should not be held responsible for the actions of a few who also called themselves Germans.

We are turning against boys and forgetting a simple truth: that the energy, competitiveness, and corporal daring of normal, decent males is responsible for much of what is right in the world.
318
319
Had I been more responsible I might have made something of myself as a junk bond trader, long-haul trucker or perhaps a plumbing contractor.
320

326
Ministers may not be responsible for administrative errors, but they are responsible for major policy blunders.
327
328

333
334
335
336
Obama’s Justice Department has also targeted Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio. Sheriff Joe bills himself as America’s Toughest Sheriff for good reason. Maricopa County is responsible for one out of every four deportations in the country.
337
Sometimes, when I hear people without experience of addiction blame addicts for their behaviour, I feel like saying to them: ‘You simply don’t understand – how can a child be held responsible for doing such a dreadful thing to himself?’ But then again, at other times I have to acknowledge: it was done wilfully.

339
340

341
We’ve suffered a war, and one thing we know: Whenever our nation’s faced war, whether it was in the 1980s when we were winning the Cold War or in the 1940s during World War II, the responsible thing to do has been to borrow money to win the war.
342
343
I’m not blaming my mom for my life because I am responsible for me, and nobody can change me or ruin me easier than I can.
344
We need to teach the next generation of children from day one that they are responsible for their lives. Mankind’s greatest gift, also its greatest curse, is that we have free choice. We can make our choices built from love or from fear.
345

People want a grounded government. They want a government that’s going to be responsible to them.

349
350

351
352
In ‘Tintin,’ it’s like a live-action role. You’re living and breathing and making decisions for that character from page 1 to page 120, the whole emotional arc. In an animated movie, it’s a committee decision. There are 50 people creating that character. You’re responsible for a small part.
353
354
355
President Obama has expressed his commitment to responsible stewardship of our land, water, and other natural resources. And one way of restoring the land to its natural condition is what we are doing here today – breaking pavement for the People’s Garden.

370
I think Netflix is responsible for what will become how we view television.
371
372
373
374

379
The pro skaters I know are responsible members of society. Many of them are fathers, homeowners, world travelers and successful entrepreneurs. Their hairdos and tattoos are simply part of our culture, even when they raise eyebrows during PTA meetings.
380
The responsibility of a minister is to step aside when there is a criminal investigation of the department. That protects the propriety of Parliament and of responsible government.
381
382
Naturally, it is a terrible, despicable crime when, as in Munich, people are taken hostage, people are killed. But probing the motives of those responsible and showing that they are also individuals with families and have their own story does not excuse what they did.
383
Children need to trust and depend upon those who are responsible for them.
384

393

394

399
400
I had that hunger to work and keep growing. So I started to cut hair. When I started getting better, I got my own barbershop. I had a lot of clients in my hometown, so I wouldn’t stop cutting hair. That’s why I think I have such discipline in my job because I’ve always been very responsible.
401

409
410
I don’t want to remember 2005 as a year that the government heaped unnecessary burdens upon American families. Stealing from the poor and middle class and giving to the rich, while increasing the deficit, is hardly responsible.
411
412
413
414

432
433
434

437
438
439

440
441
442
443
To say a scientist is not at all responsible is wrong. But to say that someone who invents a piece of knowledge or technology is responsible for all future uses is ridiculous. It doesn’t have to be that binary.

445
446
447

458
Since St. Augustine announced that Eve – and, hence, collective woman – was responsible for original sin, rabid sexism has been a major pillar of patriarchal religious tradition.

At the end of the day, you are solely responsible for your success and your failure.

469
470
471

472
473
It is the mission of the next Conservative Government to build the Responsible Society.
474

482
Many’s the dead author whose body of work has been marred by overzealous publishers or family members. If this happens to me, I vow to seek out the responsible parties and haunt them to the point of death.

488
489

495
496
We are 100 percent responsible for the pursuit of holiness, but at the same time we are 100 percent dependent upon the Holy Spirit to enable us in that pursuit. The pursuit of holiness is not a pull-yourself-up-by-your-own-bootstraps approach to the Christian life.
497
Don’t depend on other people to be responsible for you. Don’t make yourself stressed out over nonsensical things like material things.
498

499
The vast possibilities of our great future will become realities only if we make ourselves responsible for that future.

501
My ministry’s always been one of social activism. I think a responsible minister must be at some levels involved in the social order.
502

503
504
505
506
The best thing about me is that I am generally very honest – not hurtfully honest, but honest. The worst thing about me is that everybody can make me feel guilty. I feel responsible about things that don’t even concern me.

509
510

511
512
Instantaneous and mass communication is the mother of mass naivety. Should we then lose hope? Is there any hope? But to lose hope is as dangerous as to nurture false hope. Where then can we find hope that is responsible?

516
Liberals in Congress have spent the past three decades pandering to environmental extremists. The policies they have put in place are in large part responsible for the energy crunch we are seeing today. We have not built a refinery in this country for 30 years.
517
518
I really know right from wrong and apply that to my life. At home, I was the oldest of three. My role was to be the responsible one.
519

526
