I think any band we played with would be a weird match. We’re on our own, a little out there, but it’s a good thing. I think we’re complimentary to each other.
Being scared is really a good thing. It’s being scared of being scared that’s bad. Being scared of walking through your fear, going to a place of true creativity – that’s what an artist is, that’s what he does. If you do that, then being inspired by your contemporaries or people from the past is really great.
If I can, for whatever reason, inspire and motivate people, that’s a good thing.
I suppose being fierce is a very good thing, and a very cool thing. But more than fierce, I think I’m a strong person and a strong individual. And that’s what I take with me every day.
Television’s grown up a lot. It’s a little more adult, which I think is a good thing. It allows actors to tell more complex stories. I’m happy to see where it ends up.
Marketing is a very good thing, but it shouldn’t control everything. It should be the tool, not that which dictates.
Having built-in video recording capabilities for a game that focuses on user-generated content might be a very good thing.
You cannot just be the feature act, not that that’s a bad thing, because that’s a good thing, especially nowadays. But as an artist, you want to express yourself and you want to know what you want to express.
Well, when you’re recording an album, artists have what they feel like is good music, and the label, they’re trying to sell the album. So those two ideas clash sometimes, but in the end it always works out. When you put the two together, that’s a good thing.
I think it’s a good thing that there are bloggers out there watching very closely and holding people accountable. Everyone in the news should be able to hold up to that kind of scrutiny. I’m for as much transparency in the newsgathering process as possible.
Marriage is a very good thing, but I think it’s a mistake to make a habit out of it.
It’s always fair to criticize, to question, to engage about things like whitewashing and violence against women and choices of lack of diversity. All those things are really, really a good thing to talk about.
I would go into practice pushing the body despite any injuries. It’s a good thing but a bad thing. It’s good because your body is quick to adapt, but it’s a bad thing because you are forcing your body, and it can’t recover as well.
I’m competitive, and I love to create challenges for myself. Maybe that’s not always a good thing. It can make life complicated.
I wouldn’t rule out the idea of four-day Test cricket, if we can get the playing conditions right and the right circumstances it might be a good thing in some parts of the world.
I’ll get in that habit of throwing the ball over the plate too much. You want to keep it going, get those guys back into the dugout. But it’s not a good thing when you’re over more than a third of the plate.
A lot of the TV shows, they do long hours, and they do a lot of days, and you don’t get a lot of time. But the good thing is, if you get one that’s made in L.A., or made in a place you want to be, you get to go home every night.
An acting career usually has about a shelf life of ten years before people get sick of seeing you. It’s a good thing to have a job to fall back on and I really do enjoy directing.
I never write with constraints, which I don’t know if it is a good thing or a bad thing.
I was raised that emotion was a good thing.
The idea that happiness could have a share in beauty would be too much of a good thing.
Controversy is not necessarily a bad thing. It’s a good thing at times.
The good thing about acting is that it always keeps you on your toes… It’s not like any other job where you can go in and do the same thing as yesterday.
Knowing what to expect from a teacher is a really good thing, of course: It lets you get the right answers more quickly than you would otherwise.
One of the lessons of history is that nothing is often a good thing to do and always a clever thing to say.
My life has totally changed. It’s like, if someone cuts me off in traffic, I used to think about stopping and pulling them out of their car to deal with them. Now that I’ve got a kid, I totally re-think moments like that. There are a lot of things I can’t do anymore and that’s probably a good thing.
The whole, ‘Is the Internet a good thing or a bad thing’? We’re done with that. It’s just a thing. How to maximise its civic value, its public good – that’s the really big challenge.
Choosing a spouse with religion in mind is not always a mistake, especially if your heritage and your faith are important parts of who you are. The trick is, as always, to recognize a good thing when you see it – and never mistake the bad for something more.
It’s a very good thing to have a group that stays together and understands each other as well.
In democracy – and the good thing about democracy, big change does not happen quickly, and you need a buy-in and a convincing, a selling, an arm-twisting to get big change. And that takes time.
Greece has given Europe the opportunity to fix a defect in the euro zone, that is the fact that we did not have a fiscal union. Now steps have been taken to begin that process. And there is more solidarity from nation to nation, and that is a good thing. That has been Greece’s gift to Europe.
When I first started out, I got criticism for the way I looked. I think, now, it’s a good thing because, why would you want to look like everyone else?
I actually defeated an incumbent Republican senator who was part of the Jesse Helm’s political machine in North Carolina, the result of which is I’m now the senior senator from North Carolina instead of Jesse Helms, which is a very good thing for this country.
It is a good thing to happen to you, to have that taste of fame because then you don’t hanker for it.
The Confederate flag was the flag of the American South during the civil war. It was the flag of people who were fighting against their own government in an attempt to retain slavery. It was the flag of people who thought slavery was no problem, who thought slavery was a good thing.
My body’s feeling it a little bit. But one good thing, my back is in good shape, and that’s my main concern. I know that my legs are going to take awhile to get back to where I was a few years ago, but as long as my back is solid, I feel that I can play many years.
Since I was younger, I’ve always had the same body. Older guys would always be like, ‘Oh you a stallion.’ I finally had to ask, like, is that a good thing? Everybody pretty much took it and ran with it, and then I put it as my main name on Twitter. Ever since then everybody’s just been calling me Stallion.
When you model, you don’t really have control over your image. It can be a good thing, it can be a bad thing. It can be a good thing in the sense that, actually, you have to get reintroduced to yourself. You don’t always get that opportunity in your normal life. You can kind of hide from yourself.
A well-seasoned and properly cleaned wok will always have micro-pores in the metal that hold some oil or food particulate, etc. – that’s a good thing.
The good thing about songwriting is you don’t have to delineate between what’s true and what’s fiction; records aren’t put on the shelf that way. Books are, movies are, but records aren’t.
Any show that’s bringing in a young audience is doing a good thing, because that’s the only way that theater will continue to grow. All the other audience members are going to be dead soon!
The good thing about a dealer’s derivatives portfolio is that it is marked to market.
I think the world is much more transparent now, and I think that’s probably a good thing. On the other hand, I think it makes it really tough for people who are natural born leaders who could be guiding us and leading our countries.
We really didn’t have any literature telling us it was a good thing to be a woman artist. When I was trained, there were no precedents, and that was something to get really angry about.
One good thing about music, when it hits you, you feel no pain.
I have two main hair people I work with. They’re always with me. I’m like, ‘I’m bored! I wanna change my hair!’ That’s the good thing about a weave. You can do whatever with it.
Given how few young people actually read the newspaper, it’s a good thing they’ll be reading a newspaper on a screen.
It would be fun to have someone in the White House who has worked in the private sector… and someone who understands that wealth creation is a good thing and they want more of it. Wealth is good.
I think it helps me. You know, I’ve got two more meets under my belt, and that’s always a good thing.
We can’t do every good thing there is to do in the world. Too many Christians live under the terror of total obligation, thinking every act of injustice, every opportunity of ministry, and every urgent appeal are our responsibilities.
Certainly I get a lot personally out of it as well, there’s the recognition and things like that but mostly I try to take that as an opportunity to explain why I hope we could see more projects like Apache out there and why it’s a good thing for society.
In most cases, a year older is a good thing. More wisdom, more experience, and less damns given.
I wasn’t a person who hated working. When I was working and training, I loved it. I loved that I had to work that hard. I think it transformed into the gym and then transformed into the octagon. It was a good thing.
