I started as a straight actor. I’d go onstage, and I’d think, ‘Wow, this is the only thing I want to work really hard at. I will rehearse fifty times on a single scene; I don’t care – I’ll do it again.’
The only thing we are as actors are messengers. That’s all we are. Correct? We are delivering the playwright’s intention through the concept of the director. And I come on stage; if I feel confident in the role, then I give it away.
The only thing that differentiates you and me from a couple of fourteen year old pyromaniacs is balistic glass!
Pablo really felt the suffering of people and so became a political animal. But he wanted to bring down extradition because this was the only thing he feared, and it became his obsession, his crusade, his cross.
If you can’t read, the only thing you can do is enjoy the pictures, not the whole story. Reading is the key to knowledge. Knowledge is the key to understanding. So read on, young man! Read on, young lady!
The only thing I don’t like about acting is that it takes so much time away from my family. Otherwise, I don’t have any complaints.
The only thing that I don’t like is my kids watching comedy that isn’t actually funny. There’s a lot of supposed tween comedy on TV that isn’t particularly funny, but it’s got a lot of laugh track. And I go, ‘Please don’t watch that. Please just watch something that’s actually funny.’
The only thing I know is that I paint because I need to, and I paint whatever passes through my head without any other consideration.
My dad didn’t believe that I was going to make it through school, and that was the only thing I was determined to do, because he said that I wasn’t going to do it.
I was brought up to believe that the only thing worth doing was to add to the sum of accurate information in the world.
When I attack a role, be it TV, film or stage, the first thing I say is, I don’t want to know anything. If it’s good I don’t want to hear it; if it’s bad I don’t want to hear it. The only thing either thing can do is distract me. I like to stay focused.
There were no clippings of Ambedkar. The only thing I had was a two-and-a-half minute film which I saw countless times. Nobody knows how he walked, how he spoke, or how he behaved. I had to conceive all those things in my mind. I had to work a lot on the make-up, too.
Do you know the only thing that gives me pleasure? It’s to see my dividends coming in.

Words mean nothing. Action is the only thing. Doing. That’s the only thing.
Test cricket is the only thing that counts. One-day and T20 performances are fine, but you rate a player by his status as a Test player. By the time I finish, I want to play at least 80 Tests and be known for my achievements in Tests.
The only thing I change mainly is my sneakers. I love sneakers. But everything’s sort of black or jeans. Jeans, always.
In the past, my brain would never stop. Now I’m a father; the world no longer revolves around me. When I’m with Bronx, he’s got my complete attention. He’s the only thing that occupies my thoughts.
When I did get captured, the only thing I held onto was the fact that my teammates were going to come get me. Period.
Thing is, I don’t really like free time. People are always warning me that I’m going to burn out. But the truth is, the only thing that tires me out is hearing people tell me that.
I think art is the only thing that’s spiritual in the world. And I refuse to forced to believe in other people’s interpretations of God. I don’t think anybody should be. No one person can own the copyright to what God means.
I paint my own reality. The only thing I know is that I paint because I need to, and I paint whatever passes through my head without any other consideration.
I’m still kinda old-school. We’re twittering, and we’re all twitterers. And we write tweets. The only thing I don’t love is twits.
The only thing I wanted to accomplish was to finally get recognized by the music industry. If you know the awards, answer me this question: Do you see an award for soul music? No. They have R&B, funk, hip-hop and all sorts of contemporary things.
The only thing I have ever really cared to be known as is a musician.
Foreign languages was the only thing that interested me when I was at school, so playing in another language… it is quite demanding because if it is not your mother tongue, you are missing some connotations and some emotional depth of certain things.
The only thing in life that really gives me any peace is just being lost in the process of creating something, whether it’s the film or painting and drawing, which has been a big part of my life, for a long time.

Once I’m on set, the only thing I’m really interested in is being in the room. Being present. And trusting that what I’ve done is sufficient, and I’m also trusting that I’ve also left room for magic.
Football fans share a universal language that cuts across many cultures and many personality types. A serious football fan is never alone. We are legion, and football is often the only thing we have in common.
I’ve come to a point in my career where it doesn’t matter if I dribble or nutmeg someone. The only thing that matters is whether I was decisive, did I put the ball in the back of the net today, and did it help the team win.
As far as I can see, about the only thing I’ve missed is a college education.
I guess I’m attracted to these off beat roles because my life has been a bit abnormal. The only thing I have a problem with is being labeled.

I believed the only thing that could turn around this government spending and mounting debt would be if the people rose up.
I don’t know why you are treating me like this. The only thing I have done is carry a pistol into a movie.
‘Unicorn Island’ is the synonym for my happy place. It’s a really beautiful message: that happiness is one of the hardest things you’ll ever fight for, but it’s the only thing worth fighting for.
I admit that the direct model has done a lot for Dell. That’s the only thing the company has ever really accomplished.
The only thing I did is, I wore the same pair of socks in every decathlon I was ever in.

The only thing growing faster than the federal government’s deficit is Chris Matthews’ man-crush on Barack Obama.
At this time, the only thing that would get me back in the ring is something that would positively impact those in need. If selling out another major event would allow me to bring a ship full of supplies to hand out to those in need, I’d say that would be very significant.
I double majored in English education and theater with a musical theater minor. Teaching is the only thing that makes me as happy as performing.
The only thing we have to fear is fear itself.
Men mess up. Women create this big illusion in their head that the man they’re going to be with is going to be perfect. Nobody’s going to be perfect, and people are going to let you down. The only thing that you can hope for is someone that’s going to be honest with you.
It is a comfortable feeling to know that you stand on your own ground. Land is about the only thing that can’t fly away.
It’s a 12-hour cooking class for me on the set of ‘Chopped.’ You’d think I’d get sick of it, but it’s a source of endless interest to me. The only thing I don’t like about it is it’s a long day and my feet hurt. Otherwise, I love it.
Love is really the only thing we can possess, keep with us, and take with us.
