If you have the money and you find the one player who can make you win and make the difference, no matter how expensive he is, you should do it. But there are not many players in the world who will make a real difference.

Arsene Wenger

I've always had a burning desire to help people and make a difference in the world. I didn't know how I could do that in modelling when it can be such a fake world. But my dad told me I could make a difference by being true to myself and teaching people what I've learnt about spirituality, health and nutrition.

Miranda Kerr

Don't make art for other artists or for 'intellectuals', make art for people - and if you can touch just one person in a lifetime and make a difference - you have succeeded.

Ray Conniff

It doesn't make any difference what religion you are, or how young you are or how old you are-if they go to these abortion mills and stand there and pray-that would make a lot of difference.

Norma McCorvey

No matter how many shows or how much work we do, we are not going to make a difference. It's only the masses that will make a difference.

Terri Irwin

We're here to bring beauty to the world and make a difference in this planet. That's what art forms are about.

Charlie Haden

If you want to be successful in the art world you've got to look to the art world; you don't make it for the bloke next door and then hope the art world is going to look at it. That's one of the big mistakes people make.

Grayson Perry

It's important that I make a difference in some way. It's not necessarily how I make a difference, but I want to make sure that I do.

Clay Aiken

Obviously, psychologically, it would make all the difference in the world. But I think it would also make a big difference financially. If people understood, that, "Y'know, having all those things, that I was told I was supposed to have, to be successful, really is not a measure of success, and I can't have them anyway -" Yeah, that would make a big difference. It would've made a big difference, I think, in my life.

Neal Gabler

Reality cannot be photographed or represented. We can only create a new reality. And my dilemma is how to make art out of a reality that most of us would rather ignore. How do you make art when the world is in such a state? My answer has been to make mistakes, but when I can, to choose them. We are all guilt victims choosing mistakes, and as Godard said, the very definition of the human condition is in the mise-en-scéne itself.

Alfredo Jaar

The seven of us on board [the Space Shuttle] represented five different religions. But we were all agreed - it just doesn't make sense how people on earth treat each other. It doesn't make any difference what language we speak. It doesn't make any difference what country we come from. It certainly doesn't make any difference what the color of our skin is. We are all children of God traveling on spaceship earth together.

Jake Garn

I believe it's true that one person can make a difference. But how much more difference 100 people make, or rather 99.

Robert Hayden

I know how to make the difference. When I make the difference, I often do it at the end of the match, and that shows that I am fresh.

Eden Hazard

To me, success is making a positive difference through art - making art that affects the world and that changes the way people feel about themselves and the world.

Kat Graham

It's very human to want to make an impact, to contribute to the world. But it's hard to know the how and why. Like, 'Will my small thing make a difference?'
