First of all, I choose the great roles, and if none of these come, I choose the mediocre ones, and if they don’t come, I choose the ones that pay the rent.
That word ‘prodigy’ has such a derogatory implication. It is used to describe people who are forced to play a lot of concerts very early, people whose audience comes because of their youth, people who are exploited. None of the above really applied to me.
Every person is responsible for all the good within the scope of his abilities, and for no more, and none can tell whose sphere is the largest.
Part of the success of This American Life, I think, is due to the fact that none of us sound like we should be on the radio. We don’t sound professional; we sound like people you would know.
Show respect to all people, but grovel to none.

New York – that unnatural city where every one is an exile, none more so than the American.
I don’t want to run around and look at a shot through a monitor. That doesn’t improve what I’m trying to do. I figure, once I’ve done my job, it’s none of my business.
Reason gains all people by compelling none.
The climate, the economic situation, rising birth rates; none of these things give me a lot of hope or reason to be optimistic.

On the day I started college in 1979, no woman had ever been on the United States Supreme Court or served as the Speaker of the House. None had been an astronaut or the solo anchor of a network evening news broadcast. Not one had been president of an Ivy League college or run a serious campaign for president.
I was a pretty nerdy kid. I was pretty nerdy. I’m still kind of nerdy. I have all of the worst qualities of being a nerd – all of the affect and none of the smarts. I’m a useless nerd! That’s pretty bad.
I have no regrets about not having children. I still wait for the pang of guilt, but I have none. I tune into the television show ‘Nanny 911’ occasionally which reminds me how much patience and love it take to be a good parent.
Too much and too little wine. Give him none, he cannot find truth; give him too much, the same.
I’m a decent cook; I’m a decent chef. None of my friends would ever have hired me at any point in my career. Period.
I’ve been incredibly blessed with good roles the past few years, but none of them compares to the experience of playing Ellsworth on ‘Deadwood.’ There are times when I’ve had as much fun or had comparably great material, but as a body of work, playing Ellsworth tops anything else in my lifetime.
None of us will ever accomplish anything excellent or commanding except when he listens to this whisper which is heard by him alone.
Two quarters doesn’t make a trend, but it’s a heck of a lot better than none.
On ‘Taxi,’ I had the great fortune of directing many wonderful episodes, none more classic than Reverend Jim’s driving test. It was maybe the funniest show I did.
You have to grow from the inside out. None can teach you, none can make you spiritual. There is no other teacher but your own soul.
The singer-songwriter has always played music that was stylistically rooted in the ’30s and the Great Depression and the Dust Bowl. But the fact of the matter is that none of us remember the Depression firsthand.
Of all the depressing abuses of language in business, there is none that gets me so incensed as the rampant overuse of the word ‘passionate’ in company slogans, marketing blurbs, mission statements and on the sides of vans.
The rhythm of my career has always been very static, staccato and then silent, and then a lot of work, and then none.
It’s not scary to make a horror film because you get to pull back the curtain and see that none of it’s real. When you’re watching one, the terror bombards you.

Don’t feel embarrassed if you’ve never heard of William Lane Craig. He parades himself as a philosopher, but none of the professors of philosophy whom I consulted had heard his name, either.

Of all follies there is none greater than wanting to make the world a better place.
I don’t join the New Atheists. So, for example, I wouldn’t have the arrogance to lecture some mother who hopes to see her dying child in Heaven – that’s none of my business, ultimately. I won’t lecture her on the philosophy of science.
I’ve always told the truth. I think that’s been part of the foundation of my career. I don’t put myself above people. I don’t put myself different than people. And I, for one, know that none of us is immune.

All of my favorite people – people I really trust – none of them were cool in their younger years.
‘Caught’ is a novel of forgiveness, and the past and the present – who should be and who shouldn’t be forgiven. None of my books are ever just about thrills, or it won’t work.
No, I see it as meaning very little at the moment because none of the groups are about anything.
None of the constitutional, legal or other principles bars me from returning to the judiciary, since the judiciary remains independent if the actors remain independent and fair.
I’ve never seen the point of the sea, except where it meets the land. The shore has a point. The sea has none.
There are no journalistic ethics that transcend the value of human life. There are none. In a situation where you can save a human life, you must. There isn’t any conflict in my mind.
I’ve been out with lots of other artists opening for them on tour, and you just learn that none of their success came easy – it was all hard work for them, and you have to buckle down and get ready for the hard work yourself, too.
