I think one or two of the later Holmes stories are among the best.
It’s frustrating that you only have one or two, maybe three drivers that you can root for who are winning.
I always try to do more than one or two takes if we have the time.
I have decided that I want one or two seasons in England before the end of my career, and I want it to be at Liverpool.
You find a lot of junk when you’re searching through lost and tossed photo ephemera, but every so often you’ll find a gem, a wallet-sized masterpiece you’re certain could hang on the wall of a gallery if only someone with a name had taken it. Find one or two of those and you’re hooked for life.
You know, looking at it objectively, I’ve written one or two good books.
The other political parties are either in alliances or are formed with the collaborations of one or two different parties, but the Congress is different.
I’ve been involved in one or two successes in classical plays but nothing to touch the excitement and the glamour and the gratification of being a children’s hero for so long.
When you have a chef that wants to be in the spotlight, maybe after one or two appearances on a show, they think they’re at a certain level that they haven’t reached yet in the kitchen. Shows like ‘Top Chef’, ‘Hell’s Kitchen’ have helped bring attention to the culinary world.
The United States is walking in the same direction as China, we’re just allowing private companies to monetize left, right and center. Just because it’s not the state doesn’t mean that there isn’t harmful impacts that could come if you have one or two large companies monitoring or tracking everything you do.
I think throughout the day; there are always lines or certain words, and I’ll just keep notes in my phone. It might just be one or two words, and then that could inspire a whole song, lyrically.
The natural thing in Africa is to start playing soccer at 8 or 9. You go outside and you play like kids play basketball here, and you grow a feel for the game. In Africa, the kids start playing basketball at 16 or 17 or 18, and when they get an opportunity to come here, they have been playing for only one or two years.
Create a garden; bring children to farms for field trips. I think it’s important that parents and teachers get together to do one or two things they can accomplish well – a teaching garden, connecting with farms nearby, weave food into the curriculum.
But when you’re six records deep, every record has one or two songs that need to be in every set, so you’re already looking at 12 songs that you know you’re going to play.
When you are playing teams of this quality, you might get one or two good chances in 90 minutes; that is why it is so important that we take them.
I’ve read crime fiction all my life. A thing that’s bothered me about crime fiction is that it’s generally about one or two people, but there’s not much about society. I want to get away from that particular pattern: a lead, a supporting role and backdrop characters.
Where a new guy may only know one or two ways to do something, I know all of the moves, and I’ve forgotten more stuff than the newer guys might even know.
Anytime you look at someone in detail, you’re putting the camera on that person. What I typically look for is one or two or three really strong characters who will hold the narrative throughout the work.
To be honest, a lot of ride-alongs are not that great. There might be one or two calls on the radio – not a lot – depending on what time you go.
Other artists, they write 13 songs, and hopefully one or two of them are successful singles. And the other 11, for the most part, are filler.
For me, a very chilled out day would be me on my couch or cooking, sitting with one or two friends watching TV or films over a glass of wine.
Music is the language of the angels. You can hear just one or two chords, one or two notes of a song, and bam – you’re right back there, you’re right back in that moment, you’re back in that day, you’re back at that prom, you’re back in the car.
I have been advocating for a long time that the Export Import Bank shouldn’t be for one or two companies, and that’s what it’s for, basically.
Some of my team-mates in the Under-18s used to play ‘Call of Duty’ and they told me I should jump on it. I have played it ever since, for my first one or two years I played it pretty much ever day, I was mad about it.
I’d much rather do one or two takes of one thing and then see how it goes.
I know people who have a much better recollection of their childhood than I do. They remember very well when they were a year and a half and two years old. I’ve only one or two daguerreotypes that come to mind.
Some artists get so comfortable now after even one or two albums and think, ‘I’m the biggest artist in the world,’ but it’s like, yeah, you are for now, but you’ve gotta work so that you’re remembered further, and that’s what I’m trying to do.
I go into my workroom seven mornings a week. There will only be one or two mornings a week where it seems to be going well, but to earn those days you have to go through slow, slodgy days where your mind feels like porridge.
If you win one or two matches at home on good wickets, on grassy wickets, you’ll develop confidence automatically.
I’m not that type of fighter that fights one or two times a year. Staying out makes you lose focus, lose rhythm. I have to fight.
Shows like ‘Seinfeld’ and ‘Friends,’ they have, like, one or two damn characters throughout the whole series that are minorities.
When you play against a top side, you know they will have more possession, and they will be in more control, and you have to find one or two counterattacks.
It’s not as if we can’t play bounce well or do well only in India. It’s just that in one or two matches,the batting collapses sometimes.
It’s hard to really get that excited about movies. Think about it like this: how many good comedy movies come out a year? Maybe one or two? And then, in those movies, what are the chances that there’s a character that I’m the best fit to play? It’s really small!
After one or two days of good sleep I feel human again.
I think it’s better to be involved in one or two movies a year.
My dad told me something long before I was in politics, and when your dad gives you advice every single day, eventually one or two of the things stick in your mind. And he said, don’t believe what people say, believe what they do.
Nothing is so great an example of bad manners as flattery. If you flatter all the company, you please none; If you flatter only one or two, you offend the rest.
Even though ‘Vicky Donor’ was a huge success, I have had one or two films which have not done well, but that’s all right.
Everything goes fast in football. You can be transferred tomorrow, as you can be in one or two years.
At the age of 16 I was already dreaming of having a baby because I felt myself to be an adult, but my mum forbid it. Right now, I feel like a teenager and I want to have fun for one or two more years before starting a family.
Standing at my door, I heard the discharge of a gun, and in four or five seconds of time, after the discharge, the small shot came rattling about me, one or two of which struck the house; which plainly demonstrates that the velocity of sound is greater than that of a cannon bullet.
Sometimes I rush my swing because I am so anxious to play well. In Cuba, the quality of the pitching is not the same as it is here. There you might find one or two pitchers at 94 or 95 mph. Here, every day I find several, and each pitcher who comes along throws his hardest stuff.
I remember when I saw ‘The Dark Knight’ movie, and I was sitting there watching it, and there actually came one or two places where I had trouble divorcing myself from the reality of the locations because it was filmed in Chicago, and I know that city quite well.
In football, you never know. There could be one or two injuries that crop up and you may be needed so I always try to prepare myself as though I will be playing in the next game or that I need to be available – that’s my philosophy, even when I’m not 100 per cent.
Representative democracy is a remarkably blunt instrument. Hundreds of issues are bundled together at every election, yet the vote tends to swing on just one or two of them.
It’s funny, I lived my first 38 years of my life with maybe one or two people ever saying that I looked like Greg Kinnear. As soon as I get into the entertainment industry, now it’s 100 percent of people.
I was supposed to do only one or two episodes of ‘Big Little Lies,’ but I realized I couldn’t just step away.
I used to think I had and needed so many friends to feel loved. I know now that if you have one or two, you are good. More than that, you are great.
My mother told me I was begging her to be an actor when I was four. My father and my grandfather saw at least one or two movies a week; they were film buffs, so I guess it just rubbed off on me. And now it’s kind of become a way of life for me.
It is that range of biodiversity that we must care for – the whole thing – rather than just one or two stars.
When you’re struggling, especially mentally, it’s only the team who can bring you out of that situation. It’s not one or two players.
I tend to lean toward a more minimal aesthetic, so when I use wallpapers in my interiors, I like for one or two prints to be the star of the show. I would recommend being careful in your use of strong prints so the room doesn’t get too busy. Use one print that dominates and one as an accent.
