I wake up every day, and the family fortune is on the line, and that’s a good thing.
It’s a good thing we don’t get all the government we pay for.
All of us in society are supposed to believe that cruelty to animals is wrong and that it is a good thing to prevent needless suffering. So if that is true, how can meat be acceptable under any but the most extraordinary circumstances, such as perhaps roasting the bird who died flying into a window?
Radio used to be dominated by Tom Petty and artists like that. If Tom Petty came out today, he’d be played on country radio – all that stuff would. I think the genre has opened itself up to more styles of country, and I think that’s a good thing.
I don’t have regular TV; I have Apple TV, so I pick what I watch, which is perhaps not a good thing. I read all the big publications and also listen to a lot of podcasts.
I think anyplace people can be themselves is a good thing.
Competition’s a good thing.
Incumbents don’t like it, but political competition is a good thing. Incumbents usually outspend challengers by better than 3 to 1. Super PACs, which tend to support challengers, have nullified some of this advantage.
In the early ’90s, there was an attention to diversity. In this country, diversity was a good thing. People would use words like ‘multicultural’ and like it. Now, politically, those words are out. But I still feel theaters have to be diverse in order to survive.
I feel like ‘The Last Jedi’ is a lot of things that people aren’t going to expect, which I think is a good thing.
Independent dance – and, fine, it’s a very good thing that it remains independent – is a much tougher life: all dancers expect that, and accept that there will be periods of not being able to work, provided there are choice moments during the year when they really can work.
I have never believed that central banks should have rigid inflation targeting. That is not a good thing to stabilize. There is nothing in economic theory to back this.
I can’t say I’ve ever finished a film and been particularly thrilled with myself or patted myself on the back. And maybe that’s what keeps me going, and that’s a good thing. It speaks volumes about how I perceive myself.
There’s very little you’re not exposed to in New York City, in terms of ideas and physical things – sights, sounds, smells, different kinds of people. But one good thing about growing up fast is you get over it fast, too.
I think it’s a good thing for everybody that we see the entire world reflected back at us on our screens.
Now fiscal responsibility is generally a good thing, and so a centrism mindlessly focused on tweaking legislation away from deficit spending has its uses.
If you accept that security is a process, and if you can eliminate the human interaction or intervention in that process by automating more, that is a good thing.
I still get thrilled by the energy that is a live performance, the fear and the panic and the electricity that happens on the night. I think jolting myself every once in a while with that fear is a good thing for me.
I’ve had people say, ‘Oh you’ve made whistleblowing cool.’ But it’s really not. It’s a good thing to do. And it’s the right thing to do. But it’s arduous and difficult, particularly if you are going up against something that’s really powerful and political.
I went back to the notion of story, which is always a good thing to have if you’re trying to get people to pay attention to a book and pick up information along the way.
Baseball is a game based on adversity. It’s a game that’s going to test you repeatedly. It’s going to find your weaknesses and vulnerabilities and force you to adjust. That adversity, in the big picture, is a really good thing because it shows you where your weaknesses are. It gives you the opportunity to improve.
I am able to carry storylines. When you’re good at what you do, you’re going to work. That’s a good thing. But from the standpoint of being an attraction, sometimes too much isn’t good. So it’s a difficult fine line.
The Arab Spring I think we will look back whether it’s two years, five years, ten or fifteen. And say it’s a good thing.
Reading books might itself be a bit weird, but obviously okay, since books were part of school, and doing well in school was clearly a good thing. But comics were more like candy, just flashy wrappers without any nourishment. Cheap thrills.
I think because of how big the women’s teams at Lyon and PSG are, the expectation on the team and the huge fan base – it leaves the door open for so much media. But I think that’s a good thing.
Sometimes, change is a good thing.
No, I can never feel comfortable. It’s not a good thing. Always better to be terrified.
The more people know about an actor the less convincing they become. A bit of mystery’s a good thing.
The one good thing about dance is that if you are truly yourself, then it’s all good.
It’s a good thing that beauty is only skin deep, or I’d be rotten to the core.
My hands make me a little longer, and that’s always a good thing.
I spend a lot of time at my son’s school and I really wanted to do a movie that the kids could see. The good thing about being my age and not having to be the ingenue anymore is that I get to be a mom. I get to have kids in my movies.
But I found that disappointing people is a good thing, because disapproval is freedom.
We have a huge immigration population in Sweden, but when I was younger, I grew up in a small town and, at one point, I was the only foreigner in my class. I really felt different, and I thought I looked different. Sometimes it was a good thing, sometimes I felt insecure.
I don’t think many women would disagree that it’s a good thing that under E.U. law a British woman who becomes pregnant while working in Europe can’t be discriminated against.
I’m always a little innately shy when I first talk to a girl, and I think I always will be! But I think that’s a good thing. You don’t want to lose that.
Chaos is a good thing.
If one takes pride in one’s craft, you won’t let a good thing die. Risking it through not pushing hard enough is not a humility.
When you are president, being able to clearly articulate detailed plans to help the people of this country is a good thing. Knowing what you’re doing is a good thing. And let me tell you, Hillary Clinton absolutely knows what she’s doing.
That’s the good thing about being president, I can do whatever I want.
I’m not the most delicate – I’m not the most graceful person, and I like playing a sport where being not delicate and not graceful is actually a good thing.
It is a good thing that life is not as serious as it seems to a waiter.
Being on a successful television show is a good thing. It’s steady work. It’s a chance to work with a group of people in an intimate way… where you develop a sort of shorthand with each other, and a trust.
I’m a bit of a late developer, generally. But the good thing about being a filmmaker is you still count as young all the way through your 40s.
It’s a good thing I was born in this century, when superfluous television seems to be part of the economy.
When I started writing, I was a great rationalist and believed I was absolutely in control. But the older one gets, the more confused, and for an artist I think that is quite a good thing: you allow in more of your instinctual self; your dreams, fantasies and memories. It’s richer, in a way.
But the good thing about performing every night is I don’t have any excuse not to try something new every day.
If work was a good thing, the rich would have it all and not let you do it.
Building codes are a good thing. People who throw rocks at inspectors are being naive. It’s a lot like police officers; we want them around unless they stop us for a ticket. It’s the same with inspectors.
I’d done kids’ TV in the U.K., but not great kids’ TV. So yes, ‘Submarine’ was the first film and the first good thing that I have done.
We just have to go to that next class, read that next chapter, help that next person. You simply have to do that next good thing, and before you know it, you’re living a good life.
Big money is not a good thing for a little soul: it will only ensnare his feet, and he will fall to his ruin. Wealth is safe only for those who have a wealth of wisdom.
As women, we’re nurturers by nature. We want to make sure everyone is happy. That’s a good thing, but we also have to put ourselves on that happiness list.
I guess sometimes fear is a good thing. It’s a really good motivator.
In high school, sometimes you just can’t help who you have a crush on and who you fall for! If you fall for one of your friend’s exes, for example, it’s really all about communication and telling your friend. Hiding it is never a good thing.
When I’m in the U.K. I can’t resist Maltesers and Twiglets – the evil combination. Luckily, I live in the U.S. so can’t get them easily, which is probably a good thing.
When I heard the word ‘cancer,’ I was in bits. I panicked, I think everyone does, it was very scary, horrible. Thankfully, the melanoma does not appear to have spread. They’ll continue to monitor me, I’ve got scars on my face, on my back. Good thing I was never worried about my good looks.
As a governor, I’ve signed virtually every kind of pro-life legislation that we can sign under existing federal law, none of which have been harsh or punitive, but I think they’ve been important to really point out a pro-life culture in Arkansas. That’s, for me, a good thing.
