The nice thing about a protest song is that it takes the complaint, the fussing, the finger-pointing, and gives it an added component of sociable harmony.
‐‐ Nicholson Baker
The nice thing about a series is you can end on cliffhangers all the time. You can be like, 'You know what? Here we go, this person just died, end of book.' And with the end of the series, you're very conscious of all the plotlines that were left hanging. There's a balance there to wrap those up but still leave it exciting.
‐‐ Richelle Mead
The nice thing about anger is that, as an emotion, it's strong enough to unplug me from the comedian's mind for a minute and just be a frustrated member of the citizenry.
‐‐ Seth Meyers
The nice thing about animation is that you can realise your inventions without understanding all the hard theory.
‐‐ Nick Park
The nice thing about 'Arrow' is we never say never on the show. Hopefully the show will have a nice long life, and all manner of things can potentially happen.
‐‐ Marc Guggenheim
The nice thing about asteroids is that once you've found them, and once you have a good solid orbit on them, you can predict a hundred years ahead of time whether there is a likelihood of an impact with Earth.
‐‐ Rusty Schweickart
The nice thing about being a celebrity is that, if you bore people, they think it's their fault.
‐‐ Henry A. Kissinger
The nice thing about being a writer is that you can make magic happen without learning tricks.
‐‐ Humphrey Carpenter
The nice thing about being detained in Canada is it's like being in a Days Inn; it's very clean and very nice.
‐‐ Bill Ayers
The nice thing about building up your own studio is if Hollywood decides to hate faith-based films, it doesn't matter to us. We have an audience and continue to serve that audience.
‐‐ David A. R. White
The nice thing about doing a crossword puzzle is, you know there is a solution.
‐‐ Stephen Sondheim
The nice thing about doing a weekly record is you're rehearsing all week and working on getting the script better. Come Friday, when it's time to actually film it, you feel like you've done most of the work!
‐‐ Rory Kinnear
The nice thing about 'Farscape' is that you got to be the good guy and still do the bad guy things.
‐‐ Ben Browder
The nice thing about 'Futurama' for me personally was that it was a way to honor some of the traditional ideas in literary science fiction, not so much movie or television science fiction - although we have that too, obviously. Our situation, a workplace comedy, led to all sorts of stuff.
‐‐ Matt Groening
The nice thing about 'Honeymoon in Vegas' is we're not talking about some crazy smash hit where everyone is coming and comparing my performance to Nicholas Cage.
‐‐ Rob McClure
The nice thing about 'Miranda' especially is that the audience that we had was school kids right through to pensioners. It seems to be a show that people watch as a family, so it was the first job I've been involved in that certainly my oldest daughter and my middle daughter are big fans of, and proud that I'm in it, which is a nice feeling.
‐‐ Tom Ellis
The nice thing about New York is that you're finally able to wear those winter clothes that have been sitting in your closet in mothballs.
‐‐ Kyle MacLachlan
The nice thing about publishing later in life is that you already know who you are. You don't have to hang out with the 'Paris Review' crowd to try to make yourself feel like a legitimate writer.
‐‐ Hanya Yanagihara
The nice thing about quotes is that they give us a nodding acquaintance with the originator which is often socially impressive.
‐‐ Kenneth Williams
The nice thing about Reddit is, we don't have to sell your data or build a profile of you or do stuff that makes people feel uncomfortable.
‐‐ Sam Altman
The nice thing about student drama is that you're allowed to get things wrong, because it doesn't mean no one will ever hire you again.
‐‐ Anna Popplewell
The nice thing about the Bible is it doesn't give you too many facts. Two an a half lines and it tells you the whole story and that leaves you a great deal of freedom to elaborate on how it might have happened.
‐‐ Howard Nemerov
The nice thing about the gallery shows is that without having to pay any money you can just go and see it.
‐‐ Yoko Ono
The nice thing about the world that I've been able to inhabit for the last couple of years is that I'm given a lot of freedom. Not all artists really get that.
‐‐ Brad Paisley
The nice thing about the zodiac as a system is it is quite comprehensive as a range of impulses and psychological states it can speak about.
‐‐ Eleanor Catton
The nice thing about writing at home is that it's almost as though I'm doing it already. I get out of bed thinking of my work, and I don't have to go anywhere to do it.
‐‐ Patrick deWitt
The nice thing is that, at least in Los Angeles, I'm known as a character actor and I do auditions for other things besides just cartoon shows.
‐‐ Dan Castellaneta
The nice thing with the Arabs is that with age comes respect.
‐‐ Maurice Flanagan
The nice way to meet a guy is through getting to know them first. Then you can really judge their personality. What I can't take is meeting someone, going on a date, getting to know them, then finding out they're a complete psycho - 'Great, I've just wasted all this time on you!'
‐‐ Katy B
The nicest characters in 'A Week in December' are, in fact, Muslims - and their religious devotion is one of the things that defines them.
‐‐ Sebastian Faulks
The nicest notes I've received from readers are those that tell me I've gotten them back into reading for entertainment. For me, there is no greater compliment.
‐‐ Jeff Abbott
The nicest part of the prize, perhaps, is the effect on my friends and family. Each of them feels proud and happy to have the relationship with me that they do. In a way, it's as though they received an award too, and I like that very much.
‐‐ Bruce Beutler
The nicest thing about coming of age is that I can do whatever I like.
‐‐ Cilla Black
The nicest thing about standards is that there are so many of them to choose from.
‐‐ Ken Olsen
The nicest thing for me is sleep, then at least I can dream.
‐‐ Marilyn Monroe
The nicest thing is to open the newspapers and not to find yourself in them.
‐‐ George Harrison
The 'niche' effect of charter schools guarantees a swift and vicious deepening of class and racial separation.
‐‐ Jonathan Kozol
The Nicholas Brothers were the best tap-dancers. I'm not talking about their flash-dancing, I'm talking about tap-dancing. They were really saying something with their feet.
‐‐ Savion Glover
The Nigerians have been very instrumental in preserving stability in Sierra Leone. They have done this at considerable cost in dollars and Nigerian lives. The US should encourage Nigeria to stay in Sierra Leone.
‐‐ Ed Royce
The night before, go over your schedule and see what you're going to do and what the purpose of what you're doing is. I advocate having a two-column schedule. On the left, put down all your appointments and phone calls. On the right, put down what the purpose is.
‐‐ Robert Pozen
The night before I began my career as a presidential campaign reporter, in September 2007, I finished Theodore White's 'The Making of the President,' the classic account of the 1960 race, which opened up a new era of campaign reporting.
‐‐ Michael Hastings
The night before I compete, I like to have steak. Meat is especially important for female athletes because it provides them with the nutrients they need to perform at their best.
‐‐ Sasha Cohen
The night before 'The Elephant Man' opened, we had a sleepover for 12 kids. Being organized is the key.
‐‐ Scott Ellis
The night before the Nobel announcement every year, I've gone to bed feeling quite anxious. I was optimistic, and also I knew it might never happen.
‐‐ Randy Schekman
The night before Tilbury, the Cordon Bleu gourmet dinner turned out Cordon Brown. Six out of ten to the chef for trying and ten out of ten to us for eating it.
‐‐ Spike Milligan
'The Night Cafe' and 'The Starry Night' still emit such pathos, density, and intensity that they send shivers down the spine. Whether Van Gogh thought in color or felt with his intellect, the radical color, dynamic distortion, heart, soul, and part-by-part structure in these paintings make him a bridge to a new vision and the vision itself.
‐‐ Jerry Saltz
The night cometh when no man can work.
‐‐ Sheldon Jackson
'The Night Following' is very interior; the events are, to a large degree, mental events.
‐‐ Morag Joss
The night has always been my friend. When I go out I feel good, then I always score goals.
‐‐ Romario
