The great thing about pastry is there are so many avenues – it’s very hard to get bored doing this.
The great thing about coming to Melbourne is that people talk about Sydney being the food capital but Melbourne is a lot more; it has that residential feel, a feeling of homeliness. When you go to restaurants, it’s known as a creative, artistic city. That’s what you get with the food.
A lot of time, I’d spell things in standard English instead of phonetically because I want people to understand what’s going on. It’s also very lyrical, and the great thing about lyrical prose is even when you’re not totally sure of the words, you can be swayed by the musicality of it.
The great thing about American women is their energy and the way they love to dress. French women don’t really dress; they are too conservative, as it’s always a question of money. In America, women are powerful and strong, determined. If they want to be an object, they choose to be in control.
We certainly had our moments when I was growing up. But the great thing was, if Mom was working on a night shoot, she’d be up making breakfast before school.

The great thing about small children is they’re portable, so we take them everywhere, but when it comes to 2015, Zachary’s going to school, and I want to be there to drop him off and pick him up. I don’t want to just be the father who reads them a bedtime story.
The great thing about being the son of Maya Angelou is that I had the good fortune to grow up around some of the greatest black artists, dancers, singers, musicians, and actors of our time.

The great thing about journalism is that there is so much exposure to all kinds of people who can turn up later as characters, whether you intend it or not.

Community service has been a great thing for me.
To walk around with an ego is a bad thing. To have confidence in yourself is a great thing.

The great thing about country songs is the storytelling.
That’s the great thing about this sport: it’s always different.
I think the great thing about the Jack Ryan films is that the plot and the story always take center stage. If you’ve done your job as the actor portraying Jack Ryan, you are present enough to make an impact, but you let the story shine.
Luckily, I don’t think that I’m too famous. I can still live my life pretty comfortably. Fame has never really ever appealed to me. I think it’s easy to see that it’s not a great thing to have.
That’s the great thing about being an actor, you know, you can just jump to different jobs.

The great thing for me, now, is that writing has become more and more interesting. Not just as a craft but as a way into things that are not described. It’s a thing of discovering. That’s when writing is really working. You’re on the trail of something, and you don’t quite know what it is.
The great thing about catchers is that they do a lot of different things, and they’re basically overlooked.
The great thing about getting older is that you get a chance to tell the people in your life who matter what they mean to you.
I’ve been writing an ongoing letter to my children since they were born, full of recollections of their childhoods. I’ve filled two journals. It’s a great thing to do as a mother – you forget a lot as you go along, but reading over what you’ve written brings all the memories back.
It would be a great thing for my legacy to get in the ring with an all-time great.
Thats the great thing about the Dirty Knobs over the years. Wed play these relatively small places and we wouldnt have any hits. Wed try to win them over in the moment.
Some days I want to look like a hipster kid, and then other days I want to be prim and proper. I really wish I had, like, seven lives so I could go from being a hipster one day to a punk the next. But that’s the great thing about fashion. In a way, it’s like acting, because you can try on all these different roles.
My generation produced some terrific writers from all over, and the great thing about it is that they were all mixed in race.
I used to think that each phase of life was the end. But now that my view on life is more or less fixed, I believe that change is a great thing. In fact, it’s the only real absolute in the world.
The great thing about arriving at this age is that I don’t even care about my career anymore.
I think Linux is a great thing, because Linux is an alternative to Windows, and because, of all the operating systems that are at all relevant today, Unix is the best of a bad lot.
The great thing in the world is not so much to seek happiness as to earn peace and self-respect.
The best messages in any given negotiation are really implied indirectly, come to the other person based on thinking that you’re getting them to do – getting them to get some really solid thought behind their answers. And so a great thing to send someone in an email is, ‘Have you given up on this project?’
A great thing can only be done by a great person; and they do it without effort.
I think it’s a great competition and it’s a great thing to be scoring in the FA Cup.
‘You’re not alone’ can be a great thing to hear when you’re feeling quite despondent and alienated from the world and yourself. But if you’re someone who’s been completely overwrought with the intensity of life and the world, getting some space to be alone can be one of the things you crave most.
It’s a great thing to play a final in your capital city.
Also I wanted to be an explorer when I was a kid. That was my first idea of what would be a really great thing to do in the world: to discover unknown things and pick around in them and see what you could bring back home to go, ‘Look! The world is bigger than you thought it was.’
The great thing about America is that people take its history and mythologise it.
That’s the great thing about music. You can find some ’60s pop record and feel completely invigorated by it, even though it’s so old.

That’s one great thing about my profession, traveling to locations.
Doing theater anywhere, especially in L.A., is a constant uphill battle, and there’s also the unsexy parts of the business that you’re faced with, like getting money. It’s a really great thing to do. You feel like you’re really an artist when you’re doing that and you’re in a company of artists.
That’s another great thing about getting older. Your life is written on your face.
The great thing about the stage is that you have a structured month-long rehearsal period where you’re going in every day. You have to have lots of run-throughs with theater because there are no second takes in front of a live audience.

All it takes is for one person to say, ‘Wow, that looks great on you’ – and then they wear it for the next 10 years. That’s the great thing about guys. They just need that little bit of encouragement.
When I write about my childhood I think, oh my God, how did I ever get from there to here? Not that any great thing has happened to me. But I felt so tiny, so lost.

Probably the best thing for me to hear from my family is telling me that they are proud. To be able to see them smile is a great thing.
The great thing about writing ‘Deadpool’ is that he can demolish expectations and typical comic book conventions with monster truck force. There are few other characters who can transition so easily from one type of story to the next.
