I’d rather have just one person who reads and feels my work deeply than hundreds of thousands who read it but don’t really care about.
As an actor, these kinds of big-comedic-centerpiece characters is just one thing that I love to do.
I didn’t apply for shadow cabinet, because as an MP, I had nine critic portfolios, and so it doesn’t make any sense for me to be focusing on just one of those as an adviser on policy to the party.
I’m not into just one thing; I always felt like I had to have my hand in everything revolving around what I do, whether it’s directing videos, making beats, making music, performing.
People will say, ‘Just one picture please.’ That is how it starts. There is just one picture and then somebody else wants another. And when I say ‘No’ I feel guilty.
Experience taught me that working families are often just one pay check away from economic disaster. And it showed me first-hand the importance of every family having access to good health care.
I read so slow. If I have a script, I’m going to read it five times slower than any other actor, but I’ll be able to tell you everything in it. It kills me that there are standardized tests geared towards just one kind of child.
There is just one thing I can promise you about the outer-space program – your tax-dollar will go further.
Women look at the full measure of the man, not just one comment.
I mean, it’s not just one day you get up, bang, and you got Osama bin Laden. It’s the kind of thing where an awful lot of people over a long period of time – thousands have worked this case and these issues and followed on the leads and captured bad guys and interrogated them and so-forth.
Having more than one legal system running is not a sign of a healthy or inclusive society. It is just one less thing that people have in common.
I’m like the drunk in the bar who wants just one more for the road.
Our greatest weakness lies in giving up. The most certain way to succeed is always to try just one more time.
I’ve started getting acclimated to writing on the road and on the spot. I just let whatever I feel at the time come out, instead of really sitting there and taking days to write just one song.
For my 100-day project, I decided to keep a journal. It could be just one sentence. Often, it was just one word, occasionally the F-word. But it gave me a sense of structure.
I think the female gaze is important because we cannot have just one perspective on anything.
Richard Pryor – he had stories, he had characters, he had short jokes, and he had bits. He had all those things. Eddie Murphy has all those things, and he can sing. A comedian is a bunch of stuff; it’s not just one area.
We want people to listen to records, to a whole body of music. I want you to buy into my life, not just one subject in my life.
I love to fool you once, I love to fool you twice, I love to fool you a third time. And just when you think it’s all over, I have what I call that Carrie hand-out-of-the-grave moment. Just when you think it’s all over, I’m going to hit you with just one more. I can’t help myself.
When I went to AC Milan, they were four points away from the relegation zone, and by the end of the season, we were just one goal away from being in the Europa League.
Impact Day is just one part of the hundreds of thousands of volunteer, pro bono, and professional training hours Deloitte offers to nonprofit organizations nationwide throughout the year. It’s a day to celebrate all we do to make an impact that matters in the communities where we live and work.
There’s just one thing I can’t figure out. My income tax!
When you’re in a fighter jet and there’s a dark layer of clouds with just one blue hole with the sun going through it, you shoot for that hole. You go vertical into the light, and suddenly, instead of gray and dark, it’s light and blue. You are totally connected with the elements. You are in another world.
Our nation’s vital infrastructure – such as power grids and transportation hubs – becomes more vulnerable when individual devices get hacked. Criminals and terrorists who want to infiltrate systems and disrupt sensitive networks may start their attacks through access to just one person’s smartphone.
Boxing is serious. It’s not a game. Just one punch – change life.
Just one step. Just one mile. Just one dollar. Just one kiss. Just one person. When we look at life through the lens of ‘one,’ everything becomes that much more attainable.
Ideas, like large rivers, never have just one source.
Comedy is just one of the many professions that women are taking over.
Most great people have attained their greatest success just one step beyond their greatest failure.
Senator McCarthy’s reckless and unfounded attempt to impugn my loyalty is just one more example of his typical tactic of attempting to tie up to Communism anyone who disagrees with him.
All it takes is one teacher – just one – to save us from ourselves and make us forget all the others.
Can I, just one time, play the good guy?
The worst of the action films are the ones where everything is one shout from beginning to finish. And there’s no differentiation between beats, like small or big, or quiet or expansive. It’s all just one loud shout.
Obama and the Democrats’ preposterous argument is that we are just one more big tax increase away from solving our economic problems. The inescapable conclusion, however, is that the primary driver of the short-term deficit is not tax cuts but the lack of any meaningful economic growth over the last half decade.
Technology is just one of the factors affecting the world of work. Economics, demographics, sociological trends, and government policies are four other core influences reshaping labour markets and determining how we will work for years ahead.
I remain just one thing, and one thing only, and that is a clown. It places me on a far higher plane than any politician.
