I always wanted to run a major label, and I feel like I got the skills to do that. The one thing about me is that I won’t sit behind a desk the whole time – I’ll go to the clubs and see what’s hot.
What is the source of all this trouble? I’m saying that the source is basically in thought. Many people would think that such a statement is crazy, because thought is the one thing we have with which to solve our problems. That’s part of our tradition.
The one thing I’ve learned in the last ten years is that successful artists don’t get paid to write and sing songs, they get paid for the psychological roller coaster they’re going to have to ride. That’s the hard work.
I’ve played football my entire life, all over the world, and the one thing I’ve learned is that the important thing is to enjoy your work.
Obviously, things evolve; teams see you play a little bit and start try to do things, and the one thing that’ll happen is if one team has success in something, you can bet the next three teams are doing some similar things, too.
The one thing Marvel does is think outside the box, going all the way back to Ang Lee directing the first ‘Hulk.’ They like to go outside the genre.
I think I may have failed at a lot of things, but the one thing I can say, and that I’m proud of, is that I am a good parent.
To help you focus, to help you really understand what you’re doing, you have to say no a lot. When you say yes to everything, you get distracted. When you say no, you have to get the one thing you’re doing really right.
The one thing we can do is invest in the quality of education, especially higher education.
Contrary to all the blather we here about the unique goodness of the American people or our religious heritage or anything else, the one thing that set this country apart from all others was the Bill of Rights.
The one thing about being on ‘ER’ that has changed is that I’m more easily recognizable.
When we were making ‘Arrested Development,’ it was the hardest thing I’d ever done. You know, nobody was watching. We weren’t getting feedback. The job wasn’t paying very well. But the one thing I did feel confident about was: No one will ever be able to do this again. Because no one would be stupid enough to try.
I’m good at many, many things, but the one thing I’ve never been good at is relationships.
Smoking sucks! The one thing I would say to my kid is, ‘It’s not just that it’s bad for you. Do you want to spend the rest of your life fighting a stupid addiction to a stupid thing that doesn’t even really give you a good buzz?’
When punk rock came along, the one thing you were not supposed to be was musical.
Family is the one thing that is definitely not disposable.
The one thing about The Weeknd is that he’s gone between the world of trap music and pop music and blended them together, so it makes it interesting in that way. That’s what I like about him.
The one thing that’s easy to do is go and sign players. What you’ve got to try and do is try and improve them, and get better.
During the struggles, the one thing I remember was the continued support from my wife. I was running up phone bills and did all kinds of things to begin the process. When times were bad we bought food with credit cards. We had bill collectors calling. We maneuvered through this together.
America’s growth historically has been fueled mostly by investment, education, productivity, innovation and immigration. The one thing that doesn’t seem to have anything to do with America’s growth rate is a brutal work schedule.
I’ve always loved watches. It’s been the one thing that I’ve asked for, whether it was every Christmas or a birthday.
It’s sad because I worked so hard to be able to provide for my kids and give them a better life than I ever had for myself but I can’t give them the one thing which they really need more than anything, and that’s me.
I’ve never been one to crave attention, which I know means that this is probably the worst career to pick. I get anxious even when people come up to me for pictures sometimes. That’s the one thing that makes me hesitant about my future. But I love music too much to not do it.
I think the one thing that most stands out is that my father always did what he believed to be the right thing to do and he always told us that we had to go our own way even if he disagreed.
‘Twin Peaks’ is the one thing in my career that I can really look back on, that I really respect and love and honor as something that’s different. The one thing that I can hang onto.
You know, when you’ve been dumped, the one thing you love to do is just forget about this human being, and then go on with your life – but no, you just love them harder.
People accuse me of being Methody, but I’m not at all. The one thing I don’t want people to see is me. I don’t want them to be able to recognize my faults and failures and qualities, and I won’t use those things to spark off emotions or to illustrate.
Music isn’t selling like it used to, but the one thing you can’t steal or download is a live show experience or a T-shirt.
The one thing the Victorians really believed in was philanthropy. I think we’ve forgotten the obligation to be philanthropic. I think we need smaller government, but I want to make it clear I’m not the Sarah Palin of the Cotswolds.
I’ve wrestled since I was 15 years old, and it’s the one thing that I know I do very well.
In my experience, with very few exceptions – I am, as it happens, one of the exceptions – the one thing that most editors don’t want to do is edit. It’s not nearly as conducive to a successful career as having lunch out with important agents or going to meetings where you get noticed.
The one thing about going from the audience to the stage in just three years is that you know how it feels to be down there.
The one thing I’ve always demanded of the records I’ve made is that they be danceable.
The one thing I need to leave behind is good memories.
The one thing you’ve gotta do is that you need to always do the best you can do, no matter what the given situation, no matter what comes up against you. You do the best you can do, and you never give up. Never quit.
The one thing disappointing I had coming out of college was not playing in the Rose Bowl.
An adventure may be worn as a muddy spot or it may be worn as a proud insignia. It is the woman wearing it who makes it the one thing or the other.
What I really like about ‘Grit’ – especially being the guy who goes on TV every week and says ‘Never Give Up’ and who truly tries to live his life to that credo – we recruited 16 people who said, ‘I will never give up.’ And the only way they can leave the contest is by doing the one thing they said they never would.
The one thing you don’t want is that stale sound when you’ve done a line so much you can’t find a fresh approach to it. Drop it.
As a fighter, I recognise that the one thing we fight for is prizes. The one thing that motivates us is money. A lot of fighters do come back because of money. The biggest spur they have is financial, and thank God my finances were secure, and I didn’t need to come back for that reason.
The one thing people are the most liberal with, is their advice.
The one thing you can’t buy, find, or create is time.
The one thing that can solve most of our problems is dancing.
I have to say, if someone literally said to me, ‘You’re going off to a desert island, what is the one thing you would bring?’ I would say, ‘It’s my concealer or you can just kill me now.’ I’ve thought this through! Because I would find, like, berries in a bowl and make blush.
The one thing I think I’ve noticed about shows that are supposed to be funny on television is that they’ve sort of become routinized, so there’s an awful lot of mannerisms and joke lines that are sort of there to trigger laughter, rather than give actors a chance to play a moment.
The one thing you dont want to do is deny young boys and girls, people that want to play the game and support the game, the opportunity to do so because of limited spots.
When you have an intimate encounter with mortality as my family and I did with my mom’s death, I took a long look at my life and I asked myself what was the one thing that I hadn’t done that I had really wanted to do. And it was to write and direct a film.
A college football star, by his senior year, is used to running out there with 110,000 people going nuts. They feel comfortable in that environment. To me, a set feels like that. The one thing that I do know is that, as long as I’m prepared, I know this environment and this world.
The one thing I do know is that I’m the best Taylor Hawkins drummer there is, and that is all I can hope to be. And when it comes to music, musicianship and skill, there is no such thing as better or worse because so much is personal opinion, and I can see that now.
Some people end up becoming just a conservator of the one thing they did and making sure they get their merch out and all that.
The one thing you don’t want to do is go off and keep rewriting. If something’s not quite right, it’s often about modulating what’s already there.
The one thing that all great cities have in common is that they are all different.
That’s the one thing I have to say to females. If you don’t have a certain look, or if you look a certain way, they won’t accept you.
