Theater isn't there to provide answers. Only possibilities. I just ask the questions. But I believe hope comes from the fact that there is a potential for redemption. At the core, that's what matters in the theater I'm attracted to. Do we dare to hope? Do we allow ourselves to hope?
— Joe Mantello
Americans appreciate the way our friends around the world are sticking by us, and we all hope for their continued support in what's going to be some very trying times.
— Joe Lando
You have teams on and off the field. You have your team off the field in terms of your family, friends, and people that you work with, and then you have your team on the field. You have to give to receive and be there for people and hope that they do the same for you.
— Joe Hart
There used to be an old bad joke. I hope it's not so much a good joke anymore. 'Everybody's from Scranton; no one's in Scranton.'
— Joe Biden
I would hope to get together with the Latino community, if I could ever have them talk to me without screaming and threatening me. So I hope to get together with the community and try to explain what we do, so that's going to be one of my missions coming up.
— Joe Arpaio
I like the encouragement I get from doing new things. I like to feel scared or challenged in the hope that I can pull it off. That little bit of fear creates an energy that I can channel into the performance.
— Joanne Whalley
Alexander Gustafsson, he's the biggest fighter in Europe. I like him so much and I hope I'm gonna be the biggest in Europe next to him.
— Joanna Jedrzejczyk
I hope they make a show like M*A*S*H, which dealt with a lot of difficult subject matter but was very funny.
— Joan Severance
One of the main secrets to staying young is staying healthy. I've sometimes had to suppress a smile when some young lady, who has obviously not taken care of herself through diet or exercise, says admiringly, 'Ooh, I hope I look as good as you do when I'm your age!' Although it's intended to be complimentary, it's actually a back-hander.
— Joan Collins
The Government has boxed itself in by trying to codge together this weird fake Brexit in the hope of committing people to somehow delivering on the referendum result.
— Jo Johnson
I did a 10-minute role in Rajkahini, in Manikarnika and a Telugu film too. I hope those left an impact on the audience.
— Jisshu Sengupta
I think my favourite thing about doing conventions is the parents taking their kids to see their favourite drag idols, because open-minded, progressive parents are making such a change in the world right now. The more open-minded these kids are being raised, the more hope I have for the future.
— Jinkx Monsoon
When I escaped from China and came to Hong Kong, the contrast was that China was like hell and Hong Kong like heaven. Though I was very poor, I smelled the air of freedom and was full of hope for the future. That's the way I thought heaven is.
— Jimmy Lai
I haven't seen or spoken to Ray Collins in at least 10 years so I don't even know if he's alive. I hope so.
— Jimmy Carl Black
Hope is a moral choice.
— Jim Yong Kim
My whole life is geared to play guitar. I play what I want when I want and I hope the listener gets as much pleasure listening to the music as I get playing it.
— Jim Sullivan
I did plays because I liked plays. I studied psychology because I was fascinated by the subject, and I hope to keep doing films because I love the medium.
— Jim Sarbh
If at the end of the day, people look at it and say, oh, yeah, I liked his stuff, or for the most part I liked his stuff, or I've enjoyed watching some of the things he's done, that's all I can hope for.
— Joe Mantegna
Whether it's raising the minimum wage, fixing our broken immigration system or supporting an economic climate that gives our businesses that chance to succeed, I hope to continue to fight these important battles on behalf of my constituents.
— Joe Kennedy III
My hope, my real hope, is that whatever you hold in your heart, whatever you truly believe, and you've put your faith in, that that's what 's waiting for you. I think that'd be wonderful. You know what I mean? I think that would be the culmination of the life of the devout, or the believer.
— Joe Carnahan
The Middle East is hopeful. There's hope there.
In 2008, I was one of millions united for hope and change. As 2010 dawns, change looks to me like more of the same. Instead of peace, we got more war. Instead of health care reform, we have an industry win that requires Americans to buy health insurance without any real cost controls.
— Jodie Evans
In the ongoing effort to combat Ebola, more needs to be done to rewrite the public-health narrative. It must move from one that has been infused with fear to one that recognizes the hope for survival that supportive care can offer infected people.
— Joanne Liu
Being in New Mexico was such a great experience for me, and I hope to get back there one day for some more films or TV.
— Joanna Going
I hope I'll die on stage at the age at 105, playing Peter Pan.
— Joan Fontaine
I have hope in people, in individuals. Because you don't know what's going to rise from the ruins.
— Joan Baez
I tend to think the world is a bit of a miserable place, so anyone who can add to people's optimistic, cheerful side is doing a good job, which is what I hope I'm doing.
— Jo Brand
When I'm doing an exaggerated character, I hope it's clear I don't think this is how women do, or should, act. There's aspects of Looney Tunes in drag. But there's something poignant about a man dressed as a woman, talking about gender. It can make you realize how similar the genders really are.
The most passionate fans are from India, and I hope that I can motivate more Indians to pursue wrestling - or any athletics, for that matter - and become champions.
— Jinder Mahal
I was absolutely blessed. And I'm really fortunate that my parents were there for me. And I hope that I can give back to society the way they have and the way - I just - I was very fortunate.
— Jimmy John Liautaud
I know that life is full of lessons to be learned, and my children will have to learn their own, but I hope I have broken the cycle of shame and fear that plagued my childhood.
— Jimmy Barnes
Hope unbelieved is always considered nonsense. But hope believed is history in the process of being changed.
— Jim Wallis
I hope to soon be in contact with the man who is searching for Noah's ark.
I'm a fan of Lucha Underground and hope they are successful.
— Jim Ross
I hope that I have gained the reputation of being someone that would do anything. I think that that's an admirable reputation to have if you're an actor.
— Joe Lo Truglio
America became great through immigrants... I hope that this great country will recall what has made it great.
— Joe Kaeser
I hope I can become a good enough filmmaker where I can take a script that I'm not 'heart and soul' into, but I could still make something really great out of it.
I believe that 'MasterChef' brings something more to the table, so to speak, than simply being another reality food TV show. My hope is that it will inspire America to get more involved in the food they eat, how it is prepared.
— Joe Bastianich
I think my legacy will be in what most people don't like about me: my style - the separation between judge and lawyers, judge and politics, the real independence of the judiciary from the executive, from the legislative, from money. I'm criticized in Brazil because of that. In the end, I hope to prevail.
— Joaquim Barbosa
I could never go into politics, because I'm far too impatient and I'd want to be a dictator, albeit a benevolent one... I would hope.
— Joanna Lumley
If you keep dating and keep out there, you keep a higher level of hope, and also, your skills at doing it improve because you're doing it more often, and you are bringing less anxiety to the table.
— Joanna Coles
I wanted to show those characters discovering it is possible to find common ground, as they make their way through a plotline that I hope is engrossing enough to keep the reader a willing participant.
— Joan D. Vinge
So I hope women will consider a life in politics. We need women, you see. We need them.
— Jo Swinson
There is one final point I would like to make this week. As I said on the floor of the House during deliberation of this latest supplemental, hope is something Americans should never lose. Let each of us, both by our words and actions, continue to provide that hope.
— Jo Bonner
I hope people realize that drag queens and queer people, we're not just archetypes and stereotypes. We're human beings with a lot to share. And a drag queen doesn't have to just be a clown, she can also be like a cooking TV personality or like a DJ, or a talk-show host. We should be able to infiltrate TV everywhere.
I hope I can get to more and more of the Chinese audience and kind of lead the way to maybe, y'know, inspire seems like a big word, but y'know... inspire to get people into entertainment because I think we can be just as good as anybody else.
— Jimmy O. Yang
When I was a kid, you would tune in to 'The Tonight Show' before you went to sleep. Johnny Carson. A big treat. I know it's a privilege of mine to be able to be in people's homes. So I hope I make everyone proud, including my parents, and do a good job in this.
— Jimmy Fallon
There are new children arriving and trying to reach our lucky country every day, and I hope that we can all work together to help them find their dream, too.
Now, I look at where I am now and I know what I wanna to do. What I would like to be able to do is to spend whatever time I have left and to give, and maybe some hope to others.
— Jim Valvano
When I started in the comic book business, 'Art Of' books were strictly the provenance of the greats, like Rembrandt and Da Vinci. But times change, and so do attitudes. Now the comic is considered an art form, and I hope 'A Life in Words and Pictures' contributes a little to that art form's history.
— Jim Starlin
