One of the things I love about acting is that I can enter into these other people's lives. But going back to being me at the end of the day is very important, too. That process of remembering who I am.
‐‐ Sally Hawkins
One of the things I love about acting is that it reveals a certain something about yourself, but it doesn't reveal your own personal story.
‐‐ Jessica Lange
One of the things I love about Africa is the amount of dignity and respect and humility you see all the time. You don't realise how often you're disrespected until you are surrounded by respect.
‐‐ Jill Scott
One of the things I love about cinema is the range.
‐‐ Mike Figgis
One of the things I love about directing is I love actors, because no matter how complex they are, once you get down to working and talking to them and the toughest guy will want you to open them up and he wants to show you stuff he was afraid to show anybody before.
‐‐ James Brolin
One of the things I love about jazz music is that intent is first and execution is second. In classical music, execution is first and intent is second, meaning that you must first learn a piece before you can truly add your interpretation to it.
‐‐ Irvin Mayfield
One of the things I love about music is live performance.
‐‐ Yo-Yo Ma
One of the things I love about New York is that it's one of the only places where you could have an entire restaurant dedicated to macaroni and cheese.
‐‐ Savannah Guthrie
One of the things I love about opera is that it's the combination of all the art forms, and certainly the world of fashion is a big deal in it.
‐‐ Joyce DiDonato
One of the things I love about our source text as Christians, the Bible, is that it teaches us not to avoid conflict. And it teaches us that before the fall of man, in Paradise, there was conflict. God wants conflict to be a part of your life.
‐‐ Donald Miller
One of the things I love about 'Rubicon' is I really recognize the New York City that they're depicting in it, having lived here for 15 years.
‐‐ Annie Parisse
One of the things I love about shooting the most is that there's no specific body type or body build that someone has to have.
‐‐ Matt Emmons
One of the things I love about working with my brother is that there's a commitment there - an unwavering commitment. From our basement in Illinois when I was three years old to Iceland on a frozen glacier with Matthew McConaughey and Matt Damon in spacesuits - there's a commitment to the pure spectacle, the pure cinema of it.
‐‐ Jonathan Nolan
One of the things I love about writing is the way you can use what you know and what you've experienced, without actually writing about yourself. I've given many of my experiences and perceptions to many of the characters in the book, but none of them is me.
‐‐ Kate Grenville
One of the things I love, and I'm a voracious reader as well as a writer, is books that surprise me, that are not predictable.
‐‐ George R. R. Martin
One of the things I love most about being at home is that I'm comfortable there. And since we are the home of Christ, we need to make sure He's comfortable in us.
‐‐ Joyce Meyer
One of the things I loved about my childhood was that I didn't feel like I lost my innocence too young, like some children these days.
‐‐ Danielle de Niese
One of the things I loved about working on 'Portal' was that we'd get emails from people saying, 'I love to play first-person shooters but my girlfriend won't play them with me. But I got her to play 'Portal' and she had a blast.'
‐‐ Kim Swift
One of the things I'm adamant about as a bandleader is not micromanaging. I'm an advocate for the concept of allowing everyone to be fully vested in what they're doing, so everyone contributes whatever they're inspired to contribute.
‐‐ Stefon Harris
One of the things I'm always proud of is 'Promises made, promises kept.' I've never ever not done what I've said I'm going to do.
‐‐ Russell Pearce
One of the things I'm always reminded of when I'm back on stage is how much you have to be aware of and in control of. There is no tight shot. There is no 'we're only shoulders-up this time.' No, from the top of your head to your pinky toe, you're telegraphing part of the story the entire time you're up there.
‐‐ Jim Parsons
One of the things I'm fascinated by as a traveler is watching how different countries control how they let the world encounter them.
‐‐ Hanya Yanagihara
One of the things I'm most proud of about my career is the fact I've managed to keep options open.
‐‐ Clive Owen
One of the things I'm most proud of about my country is the fact that we did lick McCarthyism back in the fifties.
‐‐ Pete Seeger
One of the things I'm proudest of is, on my record 'That Was the Year that Was' in 1965, I made a joke about spending $20 billion sending some clown to the moon. I was against the manned space program then, and I'm even more against it now, that whole waste of money.
‐‐ Tom Lehrer
One of the things I'm really good at is procrastinating.
‐‐ Camilla Lackberg
One of the things I'm trying to do over and over again in my books is create new mythologies, create new ways to understand the complexity of the world. I think what mythology does is impress upon chaotic experience the patterns, hierarchies and shapes which allow us to interpret the chaos and make fresh sense of it.
‐‐ Clive Barker
One of the things I'm trying to get better at is apologizing when I make mistakes. That's been a big priority of mine.
‐‐ Evan Spiegel
One of the things I miss most about the U.K. is political TV, and I have one of those little gadgets, which means I can download British programmes illegally - that's why it's a guilty pleasure.
‐‐ Raza Jaffrey
One of the things I miss most is that I can no longer read, due to age-related macular degeneration. I get regular injections for this, and thankfully these seem to have arrested its progress, but it's still very difficult for me to read. That means it is hard for me to pick up my Bible and read it like I used to, and I miss that very much.
‐‐ Billy Graham
One of the things I most admire about America is they have created a genuine melting pot society, a country of opportunity; you can be of any religion, colour, ethnicity, persuasion and make it to the top of your chosen field. And that's something I admire about America and hope they continue with.
‐‐ David Cameron
One of the things I noticed about the '2 Broke Girls' pilot was that it looked like a new episode in a season and not a pilot, and that's an amazing sign.
‐‐ Nick Zano
One of the things I noticed is that people really change when they realize their expiration date is coming, and they know what it is. Most of us don't: we just hope we can live as long as we can and do as much good as we can.
‐‐ Justin Baldoni
One of the things I noticed more in this draft than in any recent drafts was the importance of the character issue. Players who had baggage, like Justice, fell much farther than his talent dictated. But a lot of coaches didn't want to take the chance.
‐‐ Ron Jaworski
One of the things I noticed while I lived in New York City was how different the kids and teens were that grew up there versus, you know, my suburban upbringing. They have this innate resilience and toughness to them, and they're incredibly self-sufficient, usually from a pretty young age.
‐‐ Alexandra Bracken
One of the things I particularly enjoyed doing was taking raw sound from locations during the film, like the candy machine, and writing pieces of music to go with them, which is totally unnecessary within the context of the film, because they have their own logic.
‐‐ Fred Frith
One of the things I realized early in my career is that you do what you believe, in knowing that if you don't, you will never like yourself. When you compromise out of fear or ambition, it eats inside you.
‐‐ Samuel Dash
One of the things I realized... is how few success stories there are in websites or products or businesses that exist primarily for an altruistic purpose.
‐‐ Andrew Mason
One of the things I really learned from my first term is the importance of focusing. In that sense, it is a deliberate effort. What I look at with each vote is that priority of whether it's good for the middle class or not.
‐‐ Dan Maffei
One of the things I really like about Ford's films is how there is always a focus on the way characters live, and not just the male heroes.
‐‐ Ken Burns
One of the things I really like about Victorian novels is the close anatomisation of character. People's gestures and mannerisms and the quality of their thought is very closely identified and analysed.
‐‐ Eleanor Catton
One of the things I really love about restaurants is that in many ways, they are the ultimate democratic institutions, where you get to walk in the door, plunk down your money, and for however long that you're there, you can be anyone you want to be.
‐‐ Ruth Reichl
One of the things I really love about TV is this symbiotic relationship you can get between the writers and the actors, and the characters start to come to life because you start to collaborate.
‐‐ Carla Gugino
One of the things I regret is that magazines now are so lifestyle-orientated that the opportunity to do bigger projects is gone. This is a serious misjudgment on the part of magazine editors.
‐‐ Martin Parr
One of the things I regret is that too often in our society a person's whole identity is shaped by their sexuality, or by their sexual orientation. In good Catholic eyes, a person's sexual orientation does not matter.
‐‐ Vincent Nichols
One of the things I reject in our cultural divisions is the clash between faith and reason, and I would say the same about mystery and intellect. They are somehow mysteriously akin to each other.
‐‐ Krista Tippett
One of the things I say is from an evolutionary point of view: probably the ideal rich environment for a baby includes more mud, livestock, and relatives than most of us could tolerate nowadays.
‐‐ Alison Gopnik
One of the things I say is, 'You want to know what it's like to be a baby? It's like being in love for the first time in Paris after four double espressos.' And boy, you are alive and conscious.
‐‐ Alison Gopnik
One of the things I say to people is: Imagine if we succeeded.
‐‐ Ben Horowitz
One of the things I strive for is realism. I need to be as real as possible in the dilemmas my characters face.
‐‐ Tamora Pierce
One of the things I teach my children is that I have always invested in myself, and I have never stopped learning, never stopped growing.
‐‐ Chesley Sullenberger
One of the things I think a lot about, I am perhaps a great example of the enlightened immigration policy of this country where I was able to come here to study and then stay back and work and build a life.
‐‐ Satya Nadella
One of the things I think about as I've evolved as an architect is, 'Where do the poetic impulses come from?'
‐‐ Antoine Predock
One of the things I think is important about 'Watchmen' is that it have resonance within cinematic pop culture as well as superhero culture.
‐‐ Zack Snyder
One of the things I think is unique and signature about Blizzard is that whenever they do their games, and with 'Warcraft' in particular, they take the things they love and put a twist on it. They showed that heroes can come from the most unexpected places, and as a player, you can play as a hero, on all sides.
‐‐ Duncan Jones
One of the things I think we're learning to do as the twelfth insight emerges is to be discerning without being judgmental, because condemning someone certainly feels like a comic event that brings other things back on you.
‐‐ James Redfield
One of the things I think you need to be a good emcee is silliness. And I'm basically a silly guy.
‐‐ Doug Davidson
