One of the things that drives me crazy as a professional woman is you'll have bought a suit, and you get home and realize you don't have a shirt to wear with it.
‐‐ Christine Quinn
One of the things that Dumbledore is always trying to do is to empower the kids to take ownership of issues and be creative and involved. That's what we see today. We need to empower America to be a creator of its solutions going forward in a new, very confusing world.
‐‐ Paul Gosar
One of the things that evangelicals do really, really well is to make giving a joyous, social enterprise. Too often, the world sees giving as a burden, a sacrifice, when in fact it's more like an opportunity to help others and oneself at the same time.
‐‐ Nicholas Kristof
One of the things that fascinated me about modeling was that you had the freedom to look any way you wanted.
‐‐ Veronica Webb
One of the things that fascinates me most about the toys of the Sixties and Seventies is that they were characters without stories, as such.
‐‐ Chris Roberson
One of the things that fascinates me most is when people are so charmed by the universe that it becomes part of their artistic output.
‐‐ Neil deGrasse Tyson
One of the things that first attracted me to chess is that it brings you into contact with intelligent, civilized people - men of the stature of Garry Kasparov, the former world champion, who was my part-time coach.
‐‐ Magnus Carlsen
One of the things that Flipboard is great at is certainly looking at the news in a realtime format, which a lot of the personal news aggregators don't really focus on, so you can see things right up to the minute.
‐‐ Mike McCue
One of the things that frequently gets lost in descriptions of depression is that the depressed person often knows that it is a ludicrous condition to feel so disabled by the ordinary business of quotidian life.
‐‐ Andrew Solomon
One of the things that gets confused often is the difference between marriage and good marriage. Marriage is a theoretical concept of the institution, and 'you should be married,' is actually meaningless. Marriage is pretty meaningless without the notion of having a specific person to whom you are married.
‐‐ Rebecca Traister
One of the things that goes with getting older is that one becomes more conservative - and I emphasise that when I use the word conservative I do not mean politically.
‐‐ Jeffrey Bernard
One of the things that got me interested in genetics was the relationship between genes and environment. We are all dealt a certain deck of cards, but our environment can influence the outcomes.
‐‐ Anne Wojcicki
One of the things that happens in my house on the holidays is after dessert, we sit down to a very ambitious men-versus-women game of Trivial Pursuit. It's brutal. And there's a trophy.
‐‐ Bobby Flay
One of the things that happens in the business is that success is a very strange thing in that if you are involved in something very successful the next person wants you to repeat it.
‐‐ Elmer Bernstein
One of the things that happens to everyone who is grief-stricken, who has lost someone, is there comes a time when everyone else just wants you to get over it, but of course you don't get over it. You get stronger; you try and live on; you endure; you change; but you don't get over it. You carry it with you.
‐‐ Edward Hirsch
One of the things that happens to people in grief is they secretly think they're crazy, because they realize they are thinking things that don't make sense.
‐‐ Joan Didion
One of the things that happens when people make the leap from a certain amount of money to tens of millions of dollars is that the people around you dramatically change.
‐‐ Dave Chappelle
One of the things that has always motivated me to write is the desire to get it out and look at it in an objective way, so that it doesn't cause me any serious pain by staying inside.
‐‐ Carly Simon
One of the things that has been truly incredible to observe though, is the amount of venture investment that has gone into early stage security technology.
‐‐ John W. Thompson
One of the things that has been very difficult in Libya is the sense of uncertainty - the sense that they haven't actually finished the revolution, that there was still a great deal of uncertainty. That uncertainty has made Libya harder for business in terms of oil and other things as well.
‐‐ Fareed Zakaria
One of the things that has happened with technology is that it can only be helpful if it is useful, of course, but it can only be helpful too if it's accessible, and it can only be helpful if it's affordable.
‐‐ Hector Ruiz
One of the things that has made America exceptional - compared to other crisis-prone and class-conflicted countries - is that it has long enjoyed a benefit no other modern nation in the world could claim: the ability to engage in ceaseless, endless movement outward.
‐‐ Greg Grandin
One of the things that has really hit home for me is that the world is how we decide it is going to be. Very few things just happen. They grow out of history, and they grow out of the present, and the more we can get a sense of how our actions lead into other actions in the future, hopefully we'll learn to make better decisions.
‐‐ Deborah Ellis
One of the things that has to be faced is the process of waiting to change the system, how much we have got to do to find out who we are, where we have come from and where we are going.
‐‐ Ella Baker
One of the things that helps me tell a story through music is to create a character. I have to have a muse, whether it's Frida Kahlo, Martha Graham, Marlene Dietrich, or Pippi Longstocking.
‐‐ Madonna Ciccone
One of the things that hold together a human society is the existence of basic politeness among its members.
‐‐ Yair Lapid
One of the things that I always say about bioterrorism, whether it's ourselves at the federal level, folks at the state level, or folks in the private industry, we've done many great things, especially since 9/11.
‐‐ Mike Johanns
One of the things that I am happy about in my life as an artist is that I am not considered a Hispanic artist.
‐‐ Andres Serrano
One of the things that I am learning is that each generation will have its own negotiations with identity. And one generation can not necessarily help the other generation with it.
‐‐ Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni
One of the things that I cannot fathom is young actors who will not audition and won't read.
‐‐ Daniel Radcliffe
One of the things that I'd like to get back to that I did as a younger actor was to work on, you know, a rep season for a summer where you did two or three Shakespeares, and you'd do a couple of either new plays or classic plays, and you did a different one almost every night.
‐‐ Thomas Gibson
One of the things that I did before I ran for president is I was a professional speaker. Not a motivational speaker - an inspirational speaker. Motivation comes from within. You have to be inspired. That's what I do. I inspire people, I inspire the public, I inspire my staff. I inspired the organizations I took over to want to succeed.
‐‐ Herman Cain
One of the things that I do that I've found from being newly married is that my husband and I, we go in the bathroom and brush our teeth together. And that's when we talk about what's going on in the day, so we get to bond that way.
‐‐ Sherri Shepherd
One of the things that I find so exciting about life is that you're constantly surprised. You never know what's going to happen, and it's certainly like that making movies; every once in a while, one will come along that transcends all of your expectations.
‐‐ Jeff Bridges
One of the things that I first remember wanting to be was a 'geolisty' - that was the best I could say when I was a kid. That was right after I stopped wanting to be a fireman or a truck driver. Because my dad is a paleontologist who worked with the Smithsonian, I got to see the bones up close and the exhibits behind the scenes there.
‐‐ Craig Mello
One of the things that I found very confronting in my early working life was that people thought I was some sensitive doe-eyed lovelorn boy, because they'd seen me do that a couple of times. What tends to happen is you get a run of similar roles.
‐‐ Ben Mendelsohn
One of the things that I have admired about India is the spiritualism of the people.
‐‐ Stephen Covey
One of the things that I have learned since trying to bring in an interesting story in under 28 pages is that we already agree on great chunks of typical superhero stories.
‐‐ Bill Williams
One of the things that I love about crime novels is that you can turn the volume all the way up. If I can make somebody blow their subway stop, I win.
‐‐ Marcus Sakey
One of the things that I love about voiceover is that it's a situation where - because you're not encumbered by being seen - it's liberating. You're able to make broad choices that you would never make if you were on camera.
‐‐ Mark Hamill
One of the things that I love to do is travel around the world and look at archaeological sites. Because archaeology gives us an opportunity to study past civilizations, and see where they succeeded and where they failed. Use science to, you know, work backwards and say, 'Well, really, what were they thinking?'
‐‐ Nathan Myhrvold
One of the things that I loved about listening to Miles Davis is that Miles always had an instinct for which musicians were great for what situations. He could always pick a band, and that was the thing that separated him from everybody else.
‐‐ Branford Marsalis
One of the things that I'm fascinated about generally is the rise and fall of everything, from civilizations to families to companies.
‐‐ Satya Nadella
One of the things that I'm realizing is that in voice-over work, you have to actually do more work with your facial muscles and your mouth. You have to kind of exaggerate your pronunciation a little bit more, whereas with live action, you can get away with mumbling sometimes.
‐‐ Mark Valley
One of the things that I'm really proud of is that I have really good timing. It's very easy for me to see what's coming up and it's no coincidence that I went headfirst into wine and then headfirst into new media - none at all.
‐‐ Gary Vaynerchuk
One of the things that I miss about Canada is that even the strangers, you have an immediate rapport, there's just an understanding that we're all good people, let's be nice to each other. And Kiwis have that. I find the Kiwis have that.
‐‐ Evangeline Lilly
One of the things that I miss the most about cricket and batting in particular is that meditation of cricket, that involvement of myself - mind, body and spirit - to delivering that one specific process, which is to execute a cricket shot. It is a beautiful feeling; it is very hard to replicate.
‐‐ Matthew Hayden
One of the things that I realize is that if you look at big business, I mean, they - and what they fund and what they do, they don't really - they don't fund the small non-profit community-based organizations that really are out there on the front lines helping people. They fund the big philanthropies. They're safe.
‐‐ Rick Santorum
One of the things that I really like about young adult fiction is that you can explore the relationships between teens and their parents. I definitely think that teens are a product of their parents. You either end up just like them or you consciously make the decision to be unlike them.
‐‐ Maggie Stiefvater
One of the things that I share with Bryan Becket is this hole in my childhood memory. There's about five years of my life that's virtually gone. I've thought about it a lot, and I've come to the conclusion that it might be for my own protection that those memories are gone, and maybe I don't want to dredge up those things.
‐‐ Tim Daly
One of the things that I tell beginning writers is this: If you describe a landscape, or a cityscape, or a seascape, always be sure to put a human figure somewhere in the scene. Why? Because readers are human beings, mostly interested in human beings. People are humanists. Most of them are humanists, that is.
‐‐ Kurt Vonnegut
One of the things that I think I do well as a CEO is that I'm present. When I'm with my employees, I'm there in the moment.
‐‐ Dick Costolo
One of the things that I think is such a constant in country music is that the song is so much a story. I believe it is supposed to be based around a story.
‐‐ Suzy Bogguss
One of the things that I think makes me successful is the way in which I collaborate with others. In my opinion, nothing great is ever the product of one mind. It's always a consequence of some sort of self-critical collaboration.
‐‐ Nick Hanauer
One of the things that I think you see sometimes in politics is a certain degree of caution. It's usually advised by consultants who don't want to see you march to the end of a limb.
‐‐ Elizabeth Edwards
One of the things that I thought really worked was that you have 'Smallville' on television and 'Superman Returns' come out in the theater, and it was fine. Nobody freaked out; nobody thought they were competing.
‐‐ Geoff Johns
One of the things that I try to do when I have a tough time with anything - whatever it may be - is just look at someone else's situation. Here in Staten Island, look, I have people that have children that haven't been back in their home for 18 months after Sandy. They lost every worldly possession.
‐‐ Michael Grimm
One of the things that I've always loved to do is brainstorm ideas with friends and get together and talk about what they're building... Essentially, my day-to-day is just going around and meeting entrepreneurs and talking to them about what they plan on launching.
‐‐ Kevin Rose
One of the things that I've always thought I would like to do is to develop an environmental index. Then people can measure their own environmental performance on an index as they do in other ways.
‐‐ Maurice Strong
One of the things that I've been doing recently in my scientific research is to ask this question: Is the universe actually capable of performing things like digital computations?
‐‐ Seth Lloyd
One of the things that I've been trying to do with my characters, one of the things that does lead to me turning things down, is I don't really want to repeat myself.
‐‐ Stephen Moyer
One of the things that I've come to understand is that as I talk a lot about Picard, what I find is that I'm talking about myself.
‐‐ Patrick Stewart
One of the things that I've learned working with Madonna is you just move forward. It's really rare that she ever brings up the past.
‐‐ Guy Oseary
One of the things that I was always, and still am, is quite resourceful.
‐‐ Kate Winslet
One of the things that interests me about the Regency period is how women began to stir under the thumbs of men, wanting more and bigger freedoms.
‐‐ Julia London
One of the things that is assumed about actors is that they are extrovert, which is almost never the case, in my experience.
‐‐ Bill Nighy
One of the things that is counterintuitive about BuzzFeed is that there's not a natural corollary to what we're doing because it isn't possible to distribute content through word-of-mouth in print.
‐‐ Jonah Peretti
One of the things that is devastating is I realise I haven't been living a different life than when I was, like, 12. I'm shocked at how reclusive I've been since then. I was unaware of it until recently.
‐‐ Gus Van Sant
One of the things that is not so good is that a decision was made long ago about the size of an IP address - 32 bits. At the time it was a number much larger than anyone could imagine ever having that many computers but it turned out to be to small.
‐‐ Jon Postel
One of the things that is particularly precious about working at Apple is that many of us on the design team have worked together for 15-plus years, and there's a wonderful thing about learning as a group. A fundamental part of that is making mistakes together.
‐‐ Jonathan Ive
One of the things that is very important to me is how I feel about my team. And not just what their jobs are but what they mean to one another.
‐‐ Anne Sweeney
One of the things that is very silly - and I hear from educators all the time - is that schools essentially teach kids to learn. They don't need school for that. Learning is what they do best.
‐‐ Ricardo Semler
One of the things that is wrong with America is that everybody who has done anything at all in his own field is expected to be an authority on every subject under the sun.
‐‐ Elmer Davis
One of the things that is wrong with religion is that it teaches us to be satisfied with answers which are not really answers at all.
‐‐ Richard Dawkins
