One the other hand, the publishing trend is ghastly, isn't it? Two hundred and something distributors are now down to 10 or 12? And what's the recruiting drive?
‐‐ Jerry Pournelle
One theme I ran into over and over while writing about the periodic table was the future of energy and the question of which element or elements will replace carbon as king.
‐‐ Sam Kean
One thing a lyricist must learn is not to fall in love with his own lines. Once you learn that, you can walk away from the lyric and look at it with a reasonable degree of objectivity.
‐‐ Hal David
One thing a narcissist doesn't like is to look in a mirror that is in any way genuinely reflective of what's on the other side of it.

One thing about a skater: they never quit. So a skater, to sum it up, is awesome.
‐‐ Lil Wayne
One thing about an artist, it doesn't matter how much your work sells for in your life, it's going to sell for ten times more than that after you're dead, and that's what you have to protect.
‐‐ Tracey Emin
One thing about Apple is they have these fanboys - as I always say, 'Sell to the people who love us.' For example when they came up with iPad mini, everyone who had an iPad went out and bought a mini as well.
‐‐ John Sculley
One thing about being a celebrity that I learned a long time ago was that I pretty much gave up the right to fair treatment.
‐‐ DMX
One thing about being a stand-up is it's a one-man show. You gotta do everything. You're the producer, writer, director, and the actor. You just gotta be out there and perform and give your all. It's such an honest form of art that it just taught me so much, and it kind of prepared me for manhood at an early age.
‐‐ Nick Cannon
One thing about being famous is the people around you, you pay all their bills so they very rarely disagree with you because they want you to pick up the check.
‐‐ Charles Barkley
One thing about being successful is that I stopped being afraid of dying. Once you're a star you're dead already. You're embalmed.
‐‐ Dustin Hoffman
One thing about championship teams is that they're resilient. No matter what is thrown at them, no matter how deep the hole, they find a way to bounce back and overcome adversity.
‐‐ Nick Saban
One thing about costume design - and I think design in general - but especially costume design, is people have a misconception that it's very glamorous work.
‐‐ Colleen Atwood
One thing about creativity is, when you feel confident and respected, you're more likely to pitch more interesting stuff because you're not as precious with it. You feel like, 'This is going to land, and I'm going to be supported in this.'
‐‐ Aisha Tyler
One thing about God's will, you can never see God's will before it happens. You can only see at the end of it.
‐‐ Ray Lewis
One thing about liberals: It doesn't even occur to them that there is another side to an argument. They are so convinced of the righteousness of their own position that it doesn't dawn on them that a reasonable person might have a different viewpoint.
‐‐ Monica Crowley
One thing about living in a small town, I knew everybody and everybody knew me.
‐‐ Anna Nicole Smith
One thing about Los Angeles is it feels like it's not new. It feels like it's already been built, and it's deteriorating, except for the places they're trying to make nicer. But in general, you drive all through the city, and the city feels like it was new a long time ago.
‐‐ Albert Brooks

One thing about me is that I'm very much like the Black Madonna. I love to reinvent myself and that's because I am a very free person.
‐‐ Lil' Kim
One thing about open source is that even the failures contribute to the next thing that comes up. Unlike a company that could spend a million dollars in two years and fail and there's nothing really to show for it, if you spend a million dollars on open source, you probably have something amazing that other people can build on.
‐‐ Matt Mullenweg
One thing about playing the real jazz is that you can't count it.
‐‐ Mahalia Jackson
One thing about 'Star Wars' that I'm really proud of is that it expands the imagination. That's why I like the 'Star Wars' toys.
‐‐ George Lucas
One thing about television in Britain is that they're so scared about complaints. It curbs a lot of drama.
‐‐ Alice Lowe
One thing about television, it brings out personality. People are able to watch me in action. They hear my voice and see my eyes. There's nothing I can hide. That's me. Television brings out your flaws, your weaknesses, your strengths, and you truths. The audience either likes you or it doesn't.
‐‐ Donald Trump
One thing about Texas people, they're very passionate about their Rock N' Roll, and I love it.
‐‐ Steven Adler
One thing about the business and investing world that I connect to very intimately is that there is little room to deny the harsh realities of your mistakes. A bad call can lose you many millions.
‐‐ Joshua Waitzkin
One thing about the fantasy dinner party idea that no one considers is whether these people are going to get on. I would say John McEnroe and Ian McEwan, but what would they have to say to each other?
‐‐ Robert Webb
One thing about 'Thelma & Louise' we can't forget: Brad Pitt. Oh, yes.
‐‐ Kristan Higgins
One thing about these storms, we know how disruptive things can be when we depend on the system to keep working. What would happen if the terrorists do it? Knock down the power, destroy bridges, cut the water supply?
‐‐ Geraldo Rivera
One thing about writing 'The Sarah Silverman Program' was the concern that I don't give myself the best story, you know what I mean?
‐‐ Brian Posehn

‐‐ Anatole France
One thing all stage mothers share is an overpowering ambition for their daughters.
‐‐ Lawrence Welk
One thing all the way through the show to me is boring. I don't care how great the artist is. I find that if my audience is very young, and they want to hear very young songs, my show will be dominated by that. But there'll be some ballads here and there and some swing tunes.
‐‐ George Benson
One thing an exceptional employee never says is, 'That's not in my job description.' Exceptional employees work outside the boundaries of job descriptions.
‐‐ Travis Bradberry
One thing any backpacker will tell you is that it's tedious and monotonous. You're bored sometimes, so you really have to make the fun in your head.
‐‐ Cheryl Strayed
One thing any DJ needs in his crate, especially at a barbecue, is a selection of 15-minute-plus jams.
‐‐ Adam Mansbach
One thing at a time, all things in succession. That which grows fast withers as rapidly; and that which grows slow endures.
‐‐ Josiah Gilbert Holland
One thing bothered me as a student. In the 1960s, human behavior was totally off limits for the biologist. There was animal behavior, then there was a long time nothing, after which came human behavior as a totally separate category best left to a different group of scientists.
‐‐ Frans de Waal
One thing Britons have always been celebrated for, and that is being able to stick it out in a tight place.
