One of the things that people don’t realize is that that natural beauty, those recreational forests, they have an economic development impact for the state as well.
You should know how to take care of yourself. That’s one of the things that I got from my mother most – she always said that if you don’t take care of yourself, no one will.
One of the things that amazes me is the amount of functional illiteracy in this country… people can’t read to get around, or people who can’t read the newspaper but can barely read street signs.
Ronald Reagan knew audiences. It was a key element of his political genius. One of the things at which brilliant politicians are better than mediocre ones is smelling new public concerns over the horizon before they are picked up by polls – before the public even knows to call them ‘issues’ at all.
One of the things you want as a successful writer is the anonymity.
One of the things that was kind of shocking for humans… was to come to terms with was the fact that, hey, we may not be the center of the universe.
The Simpsons are ugly-looking, and they should be. That’s what works. That’s one of the things that’s funny.
That’s one of the things about getting older isn’t it? You suddenly realise that you are what you set out to be. And there are no role models any more.
One of the things I loved about my childhood was that I didn’t feel like I lost my innocence too young, like some children these days.
One of the things you have to deal with is the pressure of expectations. It takes time for people to believe in yourself; to believe you can finish the innings. You try and do it consistently and that’s what you aim to do as a batsman.
One of the things I’ve really come to realise is that the chances of arriving at a universal truth are increased if you remain absolutely faithful to the contingencies of your own experience and the vagaries of your own nature.
One of the things the BBC does better than anyone is period drama.
One of the things I want to do that’s outside the realm of acting and the arts – although both have their place in this – is ending childhood hunger here in America.
It’s one of the things, certainly for me, anyway: I’m learning to take a bigger role in the things that I’m associated with.
One of the things I’ve learned with doing ‘xkcd’ is that you sort of give people, ‘Here’s the thing, and here’s the button you can press to get another thing.’ Sometimes that can be more easy to digest than, ‘Here’s a long page of things.’
I think one of the things we’ve got to look out for is human beings claiming that they know how God operates.
We’ve been merging with tools since the beginning of human evolution, and arguably, that’s one of the things that makes us human beings.
One of the things that I’ve never seen in tabletop gaming is this juvenile notion that the existence of a game that I don’t like, or the existence of a gamer who’s different than me, threatens my very existence and the very existence of my hobby.
One of the things I’ve always liked about my husband is he’s very good at lots of stuff. He was an English teacher when I met him. He wrote poetry and played the guitar. As time went on, he decided to go into economics, so he’s very analytical and mathematical in addition to his artsy side.
With all of their benefits, and there are many, one of the things I regret about e-books is that they have taken away the necessity of trawling foreign bookshops or the shelves of holiday houses to find something to read. I’ve come across gems and stinkers that way, and both can be fun.
One of the things that I’m really proud of is that I have really good timing. It’s very easy for me to see what’s coming up and it’s no coincidence that I went headfirst into wine and then headfirst into new media – none at all.
One of the things that’s influenced me musically was my experience at Brown University. I was surrounded by musicians that I really admired, and felt challenged to come up with music, lyrics, and recordings that stood up to the expectations of those musicians and myself.
One of the things that I’ve learned working with Madonna is you just move forward. It’s really rare that she ever brings up the past.
One of the things I try to be very careful of is not taking a movie when I know I have no inspiration left.
One of the things Mr. Kennedy taught me was that in laying out a new project, you shouldn’t try to cope with every little problem.
One of the things that made the Internet so explosive and such an economic and intellectual force is because of the free-market enterprise in a country like the U.S. controlling access to it.
One of the things the government can’t do is run anything. The only things our government runs are the post office and the railroads, and both of them are bankrupt.
One of the things that makes me most happy about music is that I can look at a picture and see Da Brat, Missy, Lil Kim, Left Eye, and I know Aaliyah is a singer, but to see them all in one photo together hugging and laughing and really having genuine love for each other… I want to feel that with my hip hop sisters.
One of the things I’ve learnt is not to depend on there being a woman in your life to make it work. I love my work, I love my children, I’ve got wonderful friends, you know, I have a nice life.
One of the things I keep coming back to in my writing is that society doesn’t work on this mirror principle, you don’t have an exact replica on the left of what you have on the right. It just doesn’t work that way.
It’s one of the things that ‘Everwood’ – what makes a great ‘Everwood’ episode is when it makes you laugh and cry, sometimes at the same time. From the first season, we’ve always had the chance to deal with death in a very real way, in a way that a lot of other shows can’t or don’t.
I think one of the things about Donald Trump that’s interesting is he lives in a rarified atmosphere where it’s possible that he doesn’t get enough feedback, enough people rolling their eyes at him. It’s a danger more in show business than it is with wealth.
I run the Actor’s Studio on the West Coast, and one of the things I say all the time to the people I teach – many of whom are acting teachers – is that an actor needs to make choices that make him present.
One of the things I love about cinema is the range.
One of the things that concerned me was the way the system operated: the wife who went out to work got a full personal allowance, but the wife who was working at home got nothing. This was particularly hard on wives who gave up work for a time to bring up children.
All of us are mentors. You’re mentors right here and now. And one of the things I’ve always done throughout my life, I have always found that person, that group of people that I was going to reach my hand out and help bring them along with me.
I think one of the things you have to learn if you’re going to create believable characters is never to make generalizations about groups of people.
One of the things about leadership is that you’ve got to show up. And if you want to be president of the United States you’ve got to make a case to the American people that Barack Obama needs to be dismissed from his position.
One of the things that I’ve always appreciated about the ‘X-Men’ style of storytelling versus other Marvel stories is how fluid the line between good and bad and right and wrong is.
One of the things I like about the computer that I use is that I can write a program on it or I can download a program on to it and run it. That’s kind of important to me, and that’s also kind of important to the whole future of the internet… obviously a closed platform is a serious brake on innovation.
I think, Larry, one of the things is I’m a very active person.
One of the things that sells music is when the artist is looked at as someone who’s come up from the streets. Not just any streets, but the toughest, meanest streets of the urban ghetto. And that’s called ‘street credibility.’
One of the things my father taught me was you should not exclude those who are opposed to your ideas.
One of the things I love about ‘Rubicon’ is I really recognize the New York City that they’re depicting in it, having lived here for 15 years.
One of the things I’ve had the advantage of, growing up and being close to the top management of this company and other companies for most of my life, is seeing how CEOs start to believe in their own infallibility. And that really scares me.
Despite the demands of this job, one of the things my wife and I try to do is to spend time together alone. And one of the things we really enjoy doing together is seeing a good movie.
One of the things that has to be faced is the process of waiting to change the system, how much we have got to do to find out who we are, where we have come from and where we are going.
Fundamentally, one of the things I tend to migrate toward when I’m working is a story about people whose stories aren’t told in theater.
One of the things ‘Minecraft’ is most noted for is the freedom it gives the players to build and experiment with the tools. You start off with simple objects; axes, torches, helmets and swords. With a little time and experimentation, you move to switches, complex machines, mine carts, glass.
I think that’s one of the things that has always put me in kind of an odd niche. It’s that all of my understanding of orchestral music is via film, not via classical music like it’s supposed to be. To me it’s the same, it doesn’t make any difference.
