I think the idea of participation trophies has gotta be a really, really great thing. Kids are under enough pressure as it is without encouraging them to be the best too early.
I jumped to the WWE, and the perceived notion was I became more successful. I got to touch more people’s lives and influence more people and perform in front of more people, and that was a great thing.

The great thing about rock and roll is that someone like me can be a star.
Everything about ‘Adventure Time’ is the purest form of kid’s play. A kid does not live in the Land of Ooo. That is one of the wonderful things about the show; it doesn’t pretend to be real. That was the great thing about ‘Pee Wee’s Playhouse’; it existed in a world completely outside any reality a kid recognized.
That’s the great thing about entering a convent: There are things that you simply can’t do, so you don’t have to worry about them.
But every so often we’ll get to this place where everyone in the room is fully focused on what’s happening. You see it happens in sports sometimes, when there’s a really important moment. It’s a great thing when you can get to those places, when you look up you don’t see a bunch of phones out.

The ideal would be to have a career like Meryl Streep’s or Kate Winslet’s. It’s just unbelievable how they manage to make such incredible choices one after the other. If you could have a career anything like that, then that would be a great thing.
A great thing happening now in art is that artists are using the figure, the body, clothing, life.
The great thing about stand up is you get to do other things. You get to do your stand up tours but you also get to do ‘Have I Got News For You.’ You get to do a sitcom, but you also get to do the ‘Great British Bake Off: An Extra Slice.’ I’m easily bored, so I like the variety.
Yes, but the great thing about all the people – and I don’t think there is any exception – who I’ve worked with is they’ve all been very, very talented musicians.

I think that’s the great thing about the NFL. You’re out there, and there are very few perennials. It’s a battle every single year. You can go first to worst, worst to first.

Driverless cars are a great thing.

That’s the great thing about university: you’ve got people around you who are taking a risk and trying things out themselves. It gives you the confidence to try and take it to the next step, which was drama school.
‘Invisible Man’ holds such an honored place in African-American literature that Ralph Ellison didn’t have to write anything else to break bread with the remembered dead. But he did try to go on, because if a writer has done one great thing, then the pressures to do another are intense.
The great thing about the Young Turks is that we’ve always stayed true to our principles.

My goal is people associate November with COPD awareness month as much as they notice October with breast cancer and pink. That’d be a great thing if it happened. The fact that COPD kills more people than breast cancer and diabetes put together should raise some red flags.
The great thing about being an actor is things happen to you very quickly. I like to put myself in the way of surprise.
Latinos, Asians, African-Americans, women – we’re all trying to find our place in this world of cinema and television and theater. And the great thing with comedy is that most of the time, you could be orange. It doesn’t matter, as long you’re funny.

I feel it’s my job as a serious investigative journalist to witness all kinds of behaviour and then report back to the audience through the prism of my own anger and bitterness.
The great thing about running is that you can get away to your own thoughts and get in a little bubble.
That’s the great thing about ‘Corrie’: it is an ensemble cast, and it didn’t rest on one person’s shoulders by any means.
