It is the only thing you can hold on to sometimes, is that ability to say ‘no.’ And I think that in that way, you can create some kind of career.
I love eating. Unfortunately, I have to be really determined and control my foodie temptations. That is the only thing I don’t like about being an actress; the constant need to check my weight. Otherwise, I love my job!

Directing is genderless. The only thing… I love men. I’m not being mean to them, but they can’t hear you. I don’t have a husband, and so I’m not really attuned to it, but I didn’t know that they could not really hear you. Like, I’m talking, and they just walk away.

I left school at sixteen – I was fed up and restless. The only thing that interested me at school was English language and literature, but I didn’t have Latin, and so couldn’t go on to university.

If you had told me in 1997 that even 5 people would be waiting online for me to sign my new book in 2009, I would have jumped around like Joe Carter in the 1993 World Series. I love it.

Christianity, if false, is of no importance, and if true, of infinite importance. The only thing it cannot be is moderately important.
The only thing that’s changed is the competitiveness of the series. It’s only become harder to win in our series as the years have gone by. Competition breeds good things, and that’s what’s happened here.

The only thing I would unequivocally say is that I have never had any interest in romantic comedy I just couldn’t do it. I think I’d be terrible.
I love being in the present. When I was playing for my school, the only thing I wanted to do was get selected for the under-16 or the under-19 district teams.

I was at a book convention, in a cab. On one side of me was Arthur Schlesinger; on the other side was William Manchester – real heavyweights. All they were doing was asking me about Charles Manson. The only thing that enables me not to be bored is the people talking about it – they’re so interested.
I’m terrified of flying and have tried everything from prescription drugs to booze and herbal remedies. The only thing that works is Valium. I don’t know why I’m so frightened – I think it’s from seeing my mum freak out when I was young.
Character is doing the right thing when nobody’s looking. There are too many people who think that the only thing that’s right is to get by, and the only thing that’s wrong is to get caught.

If a man can make me laugh and stimulate me intellectually, then I wouldn’t mind if he was 4 ft. 8 in. with a huge belly. The only thing that would put me off is bad breath – but even that can be fixed. A bad personality isn’t so easy to fix.
The only thing wrong with immortality is that it tends to go on forever.
So in fact the only thing you can judge in this sport its the longterm. You can judge a career or a season, but not one race.
I would have gone right ahead but the only thing, the only phenomenon that’s going on now of course, which is different in my experiences, is that you are getting things planted in the Net by people about the Woman in White on the Net. That’s not a nice change.
All blame is a waste of time. No matter how much fault you find with another, and regardless of how much you blame him, it will not change you. The only thing blame does is to keep the focus off you when you are looking for… reasons to explain your unhappiness or frustration.
I try as hard as I know how to keep my reader relating on a broad level so I don’t lead her someplace where she thinks that’s the only thing that could cause insecurity.
The only thing that makes me uncomfortable is when people that do drink, don’t drink around me.

The only thing I am afraid of is fear.
I think a lot of trainers are forgetting to take care of themselves and focusing only on their clients. You see it with doctors, nurses, and caretakers.

Don’t sell yourself short because without that you can’t go far in life because after sports the only thing you know is sports and you can’t do anything else with that.
Singing is my entire life. I nearly lost that. I am so blessed to be able to do this. It’s the only thing I’ve ever wanted to do.
Digital has really made the fashion industry a lot more transparent. So people can see and understand how the industry really works, and participate in an industry that was very inaccessible to people. The only thing that people used to see before was the end product. Anyone can participate in it now.
The only thing I’ve ever wanted to do is really make people happy, offer some sort of positivity with music that I’ve written. The Chili Peppers do that for people. They’re already established. I still want something that came out of me, and out of my heart.
The truth is, the difference between a studio photographer and a photojournalist is the same as the difference between a political cartoonist and an abstract painter; the only thing the two have in common is the blank page. The jobs entail different talents and different desires.
The only thing that I demand of the audience is that they listen to what I’m saying. Other than that, they owe me nothing. They don’t owe me a thing.
These days kids get paid enough that they probably don’t need to work too much. The problem is when the person is old enough that they need to work to make a living, and the only thing that they know how to do is what they are already washed up in.
I believe that worrying about the problems plaguing our planet without taking steps to confront them is absolutely irrelevant. The only thing that changes this world is taking action.
Prior to Elephant I’d taken about six years of acting classes in Portland, but there’s not a huge market there. The only thing we have is commercial stuff, and that didn’t really appeal to me. So this is really a dream come true.

Do I really need to prove anything to anybody? I don’t feel that I have to prove anything. The only thing that I have to prove is to myself, that I have value.
It became my solace. Because it’s the only thing structured in my life right now. Training is sort of a therapy session, I guess.
People don’t understand that when I grew up, I was never the most talented. I was never the biggest. I was never the fastest. I certainly was never the strongest. The only thing I had was my work ethic, and that’s been what has gotten me this far.
That’s the only thing I don’t like – people always got something to say about my life. I don’t know nothing about their life. People just judge you when they don’t even know you.
The only thing we have to fear is fear itself.
Example is not the main thing in influencing others. It is the only thing.
You have to be narcissistic to be an artist. You have to think you are the centre of the whole thing; otherwise, why do you create? The only thing is to recognise it, and then you make the best of it.

Liberty is the only thing you can’t have unless you give it to others.

Lucian Freud’s career affirms that the only thing an artist can do is remain true to whatever vision, (lack of) talent, or ideas that happened to pick them in order to be made known to the world.
Let the grassroots turn on the hate because that’s the only thing that will make them do their duty.
We cannot change our past. We can not change the fact that people act in a certain way. We can not change the inevitable. The only thing we can do is play on the one string we have, and that is our attitude.
I wasn’t good at anything at school, and acting was the only thing that I really loved doing and was interested in. It was kind of like my only option. For me to get opportunities in acting is so fortunate. I found something I loved doing and wasn’t terrible at; it was quite nice.
I believe the only thing that we really have control over is our attitude. If we focus on the positive things in our lives and learn how to cope with all the surprises, we will be happier people.
I’ve got a very short attention span, and this has been part of the reason I’m so kind of dumbfounded at the fact that I’ve still stayed with music. Nothing has ever stuck for me, and music’s the only thing that’s managed to stick out for a long period of time.
The only thing that I have is the truth, so the only thing I fear is a lie.
The only thing that’s a little tricky about it is sometimes people assume that if it’s a new song, it’s a reflection of what you’re feeling or going through now.
If you want total security, go to prison. There you’re fed, clothed, given medical care and so on. The only thing lacking… is freedom.
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 that might have annoyed some mathematicians was the presumption of assuming that maybe the axiom of choice could fail, and that we should look into contrary assumptions.
The only thing to prevent what’s past is to put a stop to it before it happens.

Old age is the only thing that lives up to its reputation.
The only thing I think I can be accused of about paparazzi is being really naive. I didn’t think about it coming along with the job and I never, during my three years at drama school, fantasized about one bit of it.
The only thing that can save the world is the reclaiming of the awareness of the world. That’s what poetry does.
The only thing that matters is to have charm and expression. Then comes that horrible gnawing doubt of our own magnetism. Is it possible that, though we are not lovely, we are not irresistible either? That we will have to go through life belonging neither to the triumphantly beautiful nor to the triumphantly ugly?
I notice when I’m on these trips, I read like mad. It’s the only thing that seems to center me, bring me back to remembering who I am. Or forgetting who I am!
Therefore I would not have it unknown to Your Holiness, the the only thing which induced me to look for another way of reckoning the movements of the heavenly bodies was that I knew that mathematicians by no means agree in their investigation thereof.
If you know that life is basically going to be horrendously difficult, at best, and all but unlivable at worst, or possibly even unlivable, do you go on? And the choice to go on is the only thing that I think can be called hope. Because if hope isn’t forced to encounter the worst possibility, then it’s a lie.
If I am playing a game, I want to give my best, and that’s the only thing that helps me sleep peacefully at night.
The figure is still the only thing I have faith in in terms of how much emotion it’s charged with and how much subject matter is there.

If there was a fire at my house I would throw more things on it. The only thing I would take out? Myself!
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.
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.
You know, at the end of the day, the only thing you have is trust and honor in this world. That’s all you have. All you have is your reputation built on trust and your personal honor. When you don’t have that anymore, well, you know, there you go. Trust was broken.
The only thing I can give to young gay people is that when I was growing up, there were no role models that were blokey that were men. Everybody was flamboyant and camp, and I remember going, ‘That’s not me, so even though I think I am gay, I don’t think I fit into this world.’
The only thing I’ve ever wanted in my life is to be a mom and a wife.
I think it’s a mistake if people just fall in love and think that that’s the only thing you need to keep you happy. There’s a lot more to being with someone than just love.
The only thing I can do is tell the truth as I see it and let the chips fall where they may.
The only thing that matters is the theater!
Bitty was a nickname. When I became an actress I kept it. It’s the only thing that went with Schram!
The only thing you have then to believe in is your craft.
I started rapping because my mom died when I was about 11 years old, and I was a very rebellious kid. I’ve been kicked out of every school I’ve ever been in since 6th grade on, expelled and dropped out in the 11th grade. Music was the only thing that I could really use to express myself, so I started rapping.
I was gaining weight very rapidly and read about the idea of restricting carbohydrates as an alternative to going hungry. I had a big appetite, so that was the only thing I would even consider.
I know I can fight; that’s the only thing that matters to me.
There’s a broad range of male rappers, so if they’re going out on a limb and they sound different, it’s okay, because we have 20 other rappers doing what the radio wants… as far as females, there aren’t as many, so if you want to compete, you have to sound just like this, because that’s the only thing hot right now.
The only thing I have ever really cared to be known as is a musician.
I believe the human mind is a very fallible thing, but it’s the only thing that I can really know, I guess.
My husband says I can do anything I put my mind to, but the truth i, the only thing I want to do is act.
The only thing I don’t have is hips.
I believe that if you work hard and you never get to enjoy it then what’s the point. You can’t take any of this with you, the money or nothing. The only thing you can take is experiences, memories and good times, so I like to get amongst it as much as I can.
I don’t buy things now, I buy plane tickets. The only thing I want is to make enough money to be able to travel with my children.
Hot Lips changed a lot in eleven years. Initially, Margaret Houlihan behaved as though a man were the only thing that could complete her life, and she didn’t see what richness her life contained. She gained a lot of self-esteem through the years, and she came to realize that what she did, what she offered, was valuable.
I would leave school and go to my theater class, and that’s when I’d actually sit down and listen. I wouldn’t pay attention in school, or I’d sing in class and get in trouble – I’d always get in trouble. Theater is the only thing I always came back to.
I always pass on good advice. It is the only thing to do with it. It is never of any use to oneself.
The only thing about my life that’s really changed is the fact that a lot of people know me now. I’m still the same person.
My whole artistic life has always been about change, change, change, move on, move on. It’s the only thing I find interesting.
It was weird that most people knew me as someone let go from ‘SNL.’ I had the best time there, and in retrospect, it was the perfect amount of time. The only thing that matters is what you do with yourself in that moment after. If you decide, ‘I’m the girl who was fired from ‘SNL,’ you’re just that.
I suppose the only thing at 50 you can really start to look forward to is just total irresponsibility. As you get older, you can just sit in a chair, wear anything you want, you know you can walk down; old people dress cool. You know they wear sweatpants. The elderly have it down.
I think the only thing I knew for sure is that I wanted to, whatever I did, I wanted to travel with my work, an adventurous spirit.
The only thing that can stop me from being me is me.
The only thing you can worry about is what you can control.
There are times as an actor when you don’t work for two months, sometimes three or sometimes six, and the only thing that’s going to keep you sane is if you give back and live your life. I’ve definitely gone through that. It’s like, ‘Okay, I’m out of work for two months.’ That’s two months I can paint.
It is when I am on stage that I feel most comfortable. It is my home. It is the only thing I have known since I was a kid.
The only thing that’s helped me get through some really hard times was just being able to write and express – it’s very cathartic for me. I’m hoping that, by writing and performing for other people, it affects them the same way.
Capturing intimacy is pretty much the only thing I’m interested in. That’s what excites me and what I find beautiful in movies personally – that almost obscene sense that we shouldn’t be this close to these people. I find that very inviting and meaningful as an audience member.
In the end, the only heritage we have is our planet, and I have decided to go to the most pristine places on the planet and photograph them in the most honest way I know, with my point of view, and of course it is in black and white, because it is the only thing I know how to do.
The only thing I wanted to do when I was a young naive kid was to become a New York stage actor.
The only thing I know is that no one ever sat in a therapist‘s or a psychiatrist‘s room saying, ‘My parents just loved me too much.’ The only thing you can do is love them and be around. Kids don’t really care what your car is like or how big their house is. All they really care about is that you are around.
I like Toronto a lot, it’s a good city. The only thing that really annoys me about Toronto is that you’re turning Maple Leaf Gardens into a grocery store, which is absolutely nothing short of disgusting.
Sometimes the only thing that keeps me going is knowing I can help inspire young kids to be themselves, that they’re waiting for me to put out awesome content for them.
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 was brought up to believe that the only thing worth doing was to add to the sum of accurate information in the world.
If the only thing you knew about Oman was its location, you might never go at all.
Love songs are one of the great essences of life, the only thing that’s lasting.
The only thing I feel passionate about is my wife.
We should learn to accept that change is truly the only thing that’s going on always, and learn to ride with it and enjoy it.
I don’t blame or complain about things like the economy, the government, taxes, employees, gas prices, or any of the external things that I don’t have control over. The only thing I have control over is my response to these things.
Nothing’s holding me back. If I’m held back, the only thing holding me back was me.
As a parent, the only thing I am absolutely certain of is my own fallibility.
The only thing approaching art in a movie is the script.
The only thing that being killed off on ‘Graceland’ helped me with on ‘Game of Thrones’ is that it made me available to actually do the job.
You have to compromise all the way. The only thing that counts is the result.
The only thing I believe is this: A player does not have to like a manager and he does not have to respect a manager. All he has to do is obey the rules.
Beauty is the only thing that time cannot harm. Philosophies fall away like sand, creeds follow one another, but what is beautiful is a joy for all seasons, a possession for all eternity.
The only thing is we didn’t have the supporting cast.
The only thing that really annoys me is when all of a sudden you hear yourself on the radio advertising Smith‘s tyre shop or Blenkinsop’s jam. They simply can’t do that. And in Australia, occasionally I have to take action.
Ummm… well, the only thing I want to do is stuff with people who care about what they’re doing, which sounds obvious, but it’s really not.
People don’t understand the devastation the murder of a child does to someone. Eighty percent of parents of murdered children wind up in divorce. The only thing you have in common is that horrible sadness. You can’t see the joy of your previous life.
I think we judge talent wrong. What do we see as talent? I think I have made the same mistake myself. We judge talent by people’s ability to strike a cricket ball. The sweetness, the timing. That’s the only thing we see as talent. Things like determination, courage, discipline, temperament, these are also talent.
Art was, seriously, the only thing I’d ever wanted to own. It has always been for me a stable nourishment. I use it. It can change the way that I feel in the mornings.
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.’
About the only thing that I have – or had, because it’s failing me lately – is my memory. I had a really good memory. I was always terribly protective of that fact.
Things happen for a reason, and the only thing you can do is at night time get on your knees and ask God for forgiveness for anything that you did that you didn’t feel was right.
I’m pretty much an atheist, so I’d say this world is the only thing we got.
My father was a civil servant in northern India where I was born. As a boy I saw the dire effects of poverty and illiteracy, especially on women and children. It often seemed that the only thing separating me from them was luck.
The only thing I think that is wrong with modern gaming now is the free-to-play stuff on mobile phones. I think it’s very cynical and cold and weird.
The only thing I do to my bat is put some tape around the handle to build it up a little bit because I broke my finger about six years ago and can’t really close it the way I want to. Other than that, the same bat, same Louisville Sluggers.
Actors are like Swiss Army knives – we’re ready to use any lever at any moment. But I learned long ago that, unfortunately, this industry only sees the one thing sticking out that they know us from, and that’s the only thing they can imagine.
The only thing I find difficult to watch – horror movies – not that I don’t like them. Like ‘The Shining,’ it’s one of my favorite movies, but it’s terrifying. I feel like I’ve watched a marathon afterwards.
The only thing I pray for is the strength to go out without complaining.
I used to throw on soundtracks, and orchestral stuff would be the only thing I could write to, maybe ‘Dead Can Dance’ or ‘Cocteau Twins‘ or something. Mostly, it was movies scores that would kind of inspire me.
Where is women’s sports prominently displayed with the men? Tennis is the only thing I can think of.
The only thing at the back of my mind is longevity, and I’m really lucky that I’ve constantly been in work since I left drama school.
The only thing I can’t change is the elasticity of my skin.
The only thing simple about the past is that it’s not now.
The only thing that’s better in a group versus being by yourself is the companionship. You have to do a lot of thing by yourself as a solo artist. But it’s cool. It’s worth it.
A revolution can be neither made nor stopped. The only thing that can be done is for one of several of its children to give it a direction by dint of victories.
The only thing I can’t do is hear. I can drive, I have a life with four kids, I work on TV, I do movies, so the deafness question, is it that they want to know because, what? Not sure.
I am no David Beckham. I have not changed my life since I was 15 years old. My family is the only thing that has changed for me.
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.
And erm, perhaps looking like this it was perhaps the only thing I could do.
Sometimes the only thing we women want is a dick and no arguments. What could make us happier?
The only thing that’s been a worse flop than the organization of non-violence has been the organization of violence.
You were in the midst of a chaotic, unfair, didn’t-know-how-it-was-going-to-end story, and the only thing you could do was… keep moving.
If you suffer from depression, anything that makes you feel has to the most important thing in your life, because it’s the only thing that can save you.
I’d watch my parents work and think, ‘Yeah, I’m going to do that.’ It wasn’t even a thing. It’s the only thing I know how to do.
Music is by no means something I was like, ‘I’m going to make a career out of this!’ It’s the only thing I know how to do, so it was more like, ‘I hope to God I can make a career out of this!’
The only thing better than going to Pitcairn in the first place, is going again.
Tonya Verbeek is a rival of mine I always come up against in the semis or the final of the Olympics. We have been fighting each other for a long time, so she knew my wrestling, and I knew hers… I was thinking that the only thing I could do was somehow to deceive her, anticipate her and get in my tackles.
The only thing to know is how to use your neurosis.
I have my own experience in Indonesia, of course. Sometimes in these transition situations, the new governments are still clumsy and awkward in responding to this new environment in which they operate. The only thing in their DNA is the old regime.
I never thought about ‘being’ in comedy when I grew up, because I didn’t know it was a real job. But looking back, it’s the only thing I ever really cared about.
I think the only thing I’ve got going for me as an actor specifically is the fact that I can change.
The beautiful thing about baseball is that anything can happen. It’s like life in that way. As soon as you think you have it all figured out, something happens that makes you realize – you know nothing. The only thing that’s guaranteed is that it will be an exciting ride.
I think being sublimely happy is the only thing I could ever hope for in life.
Let me tell you – when I was standing there on top of the world, you become so humble. You don’t think about breaking records anymore, you don’t think about gaining scientific data – the only thing that you want is to come back alive.
When I retire, the only thing that concerns me is that no one can say that I was a bad team-mate or disrespectful or self-important.
I mean, you’ve kind of got the track down, especially with ovals. The only thing that improves is that when race conditions come, you know what to expect slightly more from the track and from your car.
The only thing major labels can really offer is money.
The only thing I did well was learn how to make money.
Good nature is the cheapest commodity in the world, and love is the only thing that will pay ten percent, to borrower and lender both.
The only thing that we cannot control is our supporters.
