We can be revisionist, and that’s a good thing to be at times, but we shouldn’t airbrush our history, so we can only make judgments in the objective conditions of that time.
The good thing about Curtis is he’s very confident and secure in himself, so he doesn’t waste his energy on any negative comments.
I think that, whether you liked the outcome or not, the reasons for doing ‘Ultimatum’ were necessary. The Ultimate Universe had become too much like the regular Marvel Universe, and that was certainly not a good thing for the line.
I had a daughter, and that’s a good thing.
I suppose Spotify is a good thing. The ads are quite annoying, but a lot of people seem to like it and use it. I don’t myself, but it seems like a good idea, and the labels are getting a huge amount of money off it, but the artists aren’t, so that must be good for them… but not us.
Separation, I think, in an early-stage company or a startup environment is not a good thing. You need to basically live and breathe the entire environment.
In no way am I supporting or suggesting that a Conservative government is a good thing, far from it.
Do whatever rejuvenates you. It might be a cooking class, cocktails with the girls, or just private time with the hubby. We all have our moments where we run out of steam because we’ve given everything we’ve got to everyone else. Whoever decided that was a good thing? It’s not. Everyone needs to refuel.
I canceled the Russian shows because, from the days of the first Dire Straits album, I’ve supported Amnesty International. It’s not a good thing to read about people being jailed for no reason, so I raised my hand and made a small objection. It was good to do – but where do you stop?
I think the hedge-fund industry has taken a reputational turn for the worse, this dog-eat-dog stuff. I’m not just talking about Herbalife or J. C. Penney, but in other situations where the media really focuses on who’s long and who’s short. I don’t think it’s a good thing for the industry.
If I can encourage other women to think about setting up their own businesses and being entrepreneurs and making a contribution then I think that’s a good thing.
This is the good thing about commercials, is one week I’m working with Derek Cianfrance and the next week I’m working with another really good friend.
I am not that attached to material things. And the good thing is I can make choices. I have very few possessions. Luckily, as a man you don’t need much… a few papers, a couple of books, and a few shirts, jackets, sweaters. It fits in a little thing, in a paper bag, so it’s very easy.
The Men at Work thing is always there, it’s always going to be there. It’s not something I consciously think that much about anymore. The thing that stays with you is the songs, which is a good thing for me, because the songs are the things that stand the test of time.
The good thing about ‘Have I Got News For You’ is it’s a compact show but it still gives everyone space to breathe, and everyone always gets a chance to say something if they want to. It’s a very difficult show to dominate, and guests who come on and dominate always fall foul.
I find some really cool, unique stuff in vintage shops. The good thing about vintage if that it doesn’t quite fit you can customise it, like, make it shorter. The shorter the better!
So we should preserve it. I don’t think that digital storage is necessarily a good thing, but I definitely think that digital manipulation is interesting.
We keep some distance between ourselves when we’re not working. I think that’s a really good thing.
Stress is a good thing, of course. Hunger, thirst are both stresses; if not for them, we would not survive. It is only the way we deal with stress that we need to examine.
One of the main reasons people get bullied, in any walk of life, is because they are different. So I think that to throw kids in at the deep end when they are young is a good thing. It gets them used to other people and some of the things they will face. It takes them out of their comfort zone.
Because, you know, resilience – if you think of it in terms of the Gold Rush, then you’d be pretty depressed right now because the last nugget of gold would be gone. But the good thing is, with innovation, there isn’t a last nugget. Every new thing creates two new questions and two new opportunities.
Multiple cat households are a good thing.
A dash of frugality is a good thing for everyone.
Anytime rock and metal can get on mainstream TV at all, it’s a good thing.
I think this Occupy Wall Street thing is great. I think that is a good thing and that people need to stand up, voice their opinions, and be heard.
One good thing about being a woman is we haven’t too many examples yet of what a genius looks like.
Any good thing that happens to someone you love can only be good for you too.
In my relationship with a young guy I was going with in a band – his name was Sylvester, and I think he had another little girl on the side – I told him, ‘If you lose me, you’re going to lose a good thing.’ And I went home and put that poem to music.
That’s the good thing about music: you can sing about people’s lives in its stages and feelings. Some songs can put something in context that you couldn’t. They can free your mind or can make you think or can be redeeming.
International cricket and Test cricket in particular is hard and you are going to get injuries but, if you’ve got a strong pool of players to pick from who can all come in and do a job, well that can only be a good thing for English cricket.
I was adopted. I was born in Edinburgh, and adopted when I was about two weeks old. And it’s a good thing, I think, really, that back then, in ’75 when I was born, you were really given a lot more information than you’re given now when you’re adopted. And you know, you can access that information when you’re older.
The Left masks its distaste for the Bible’s condemnation of homosexuality in a straw man argument that Bible believers are violent bigots. They are not. Citing the Bible doesn’t make you a bigot against human beings – it makes you a bigot against sin, which is a good thing.
The ongoing argument over whether the Enlightenment is a good thing is hardly a new facet of American political life.
I have always thought of myself as someone for equal rights. I don’t mind being called a feminist, and I get really upset when female celebrities resist the title as if it’s a bad thing, because it’s a very good thing.
So often, when somebody dies in the family, whether a child or a parent, there is no one to lean on. When something like that happens, you go into a shell, but on the other hand, it’s a really good thing to talk it over and say how you feel.
Money is a good thing and it’s obviously useful, but to work only for money or fame would never interest me.
The good thing about flying solo is it’s never boring.
Humility is always a good thing. It’s always a good thing to be humbled by circumstances so you can then come from a sincere place to try to deal with them.
I have never done anything to my brows, though sometimes I tweeze the intersection of the left and right brow, which is either a really good thing or a really bad thing.
I think there’s a lot of different kinds of love: not just between a boyfriend and girlfriend, but love with your family, love with the people around you. I think that’s really important and, I think, would really be a good thing for the world and make a better world for everybody.
Everyone is trying to do something that hasn’t been done and that’s a really good thing. You can only do so much with a story and some scripts don’t give you the opportunities and other scripts do give you the opportunities to do things that haven’t been done before.
I’m not sure that the culture of literary prizes is always a good thing, but while there are literary prizes, it’s nice to be nominated.
When I had a full-time job, I really wasn’t that busy, but now I’m really busy. I guess that’s a good thing.
I do support people eating more vegetables. It’s a good thing to do.
Fantasy football is not only a good thing, but a great thing.
You have to invest the money in a certain thing, because, you know, at 40, I want to enjoy my life. So I do a lot of investments. Apartments back in Russia and New York. It’s a good thing to do.
You work every day with your player development, try to improve through the draft, you have free agency and you have trades. I think you have to be very aggressive in each area. Sitting back and waiting sometimes is not a good thing.
When it all started, record companies – and there were many of them, and this was a good thing – were run by people who loved records, people like Ahmet Ertegun, who ran Atlantic Records, who were record collectors. They got in it because they loved music… Now, record companies are run by lawyers and accountants.
Lately Fish and I have been hooking up more, which is a good thing because it’s just been a struggle for me as a bass player to play with someone who’s so creative on the drums, and lately it’s been really good, especially during sound checks.
My father worked in a post office and never made probably more than $8,000 a year as an employee of the post office, so when people can rise up from very modest circumstances and do well economically, I think that’s a good thing about America, and we should encourage that kind of activity.
