Ian Somerhalder quotes about
world looks actors
Models-turned-actors are a bit of a cliché... It is a huge cliché but you have to look at the positive aspects. I learned a lot about the world and took a lot of knowledge away from it.
teacher medicine firefighter
The will to live that possesses us to create medicine, to become firefighters or teachers, is the same will to live that is woven into all living beings.
positive moving fighting
I can't let time move on without fighting tooth and nail and hopefully being a part of a revolution that is positive.
emotional different emotional-life
To explore different parts of yourself and different emotional lives... not to hide from who you are but to actually explore who you are.
political agendas actors
I never wanted to be one of those actors with a political agenda.
years elephants ivory
I was pretty shocked to learn that as many as 30,000 elephants are being killed every year to fuel the ivory trade, despite an international ban since 1989, and that 60% of forest elephants have already been wiped out. At this rate, experts say populations will become extinct in the next decade. No one needs ivory.
heart men way
They say the way to a man's heart is through his stomach. It's the same way with women... or at least the ones I want to be with.
would-be alternatives actors
I don't know how to do anything else other than be an actor. If I wasn't in this, I would be in alternative energy and conservation.
beach mind acting
It's one of those things that hits you when you're not even looking for it. It's a moment when you find those words surging through your mind - "I feel so alive right now." There's varying degrees of it. Acting definitely makes me feel so remarkably alive. Sitting on a beach or walking through nature makes me come alive always.
wise sexy powerful
We love things that are dangerous yet sexy. We love things that are powerful and wise.
fun get-away poke
When you're really close to someone, they can make fun of you a lot and get away with it. But they sort of poke you in all of the right places.
rivers differences tree
We are the environment. The world is literally one biological process. The trees are our lungs. Look at the Amazon River system next to a human cardiovascular system, look at corals or trees and look at our lungs, you literally cannot tell the difference. They’re the same. So when we destroy our environment, we’re effectively destroying ourselves.
father unique plant-life
Whether that expansion is towards the beings around you or flora, fauna, and creatures. Love has so many unique yet consistent forms. People like Branson - he's an idea guru. Guys like Allan Savory - he's like Father Earth. Allan has literally discovered how to stop desertification and make Africa come alive with plant life. In each of its forms, love has an infinite scope of potential expansion, all of which I see leading to growth.
mean problem really-cool
I mean it’s never a problem making out with Nina Dobrev, I mean that’s always really cool!
