‐‐ Kate Winslet
It's often been observed that the first casualty of war is the truth. But that's a lie, too, in its way. The reality is that, for most wars to begin, the truth has to have been sacrificed a long time in advance.
‐‐ L. Neil Smith
It's often been said that I'm an extremely depressing, cynical writer. I've never known what to make of that.
‐‐ Ann Beattie
It's often been said that you learn more from losing than you do from winning. I think, if you're wise, you learn from both. You learn a lot from a loss. You learn what is it that we're not doing to get to where we want to go. It really gets your attention and it really motivates the work ethic of your team when you're not doing well.
‐‐ Morgan Wootten
It's often better to read first-rate science fiction than second-rate science - it's far more stimulating, and perhaps no more likely to be wrong.
‐‐ Martin Rees
It's often difficult for conservatives to separate overall government intervention from a question as simple as the census.
‐‐ Patrick McHenry
It's often difficult for those who are lucky enough to have never experienced what true depression is to imagine a life of complete hopelessness, emptiness and fear.
‐‐ Susan Polis Schutz
It's often difficult for us to act compassionately, but sacred art eases the difficulty by ennobling us.
‐‐ Huston Smith
It's often difficult to get perspective on your own stories, on your own experiences, without talking them through with someone who is genuinely interested in thinking about them. And that's the key.
‐‐ Phil Klay
It's often difficult to slough off all that we've acquired, all the comforts and safety nets modern life provides for us, and realize that in those days, people were living very much on the edge - life was incredibly hard!
‐‐ Derek Jacobi
It's often discouraging sitting working at home, wondering whether to put the heating on, answering the doorbell to the gas board, feeling it's all utterly pointless.
‐‐ Rachel Johnson
It's often hard for us to imagine going without some of our luxuries like travel, dining out, or Internet, much less our basic necessities like food and water. But try for a minute to imagine how life would be with such deprivations.
‐‐ Marcus Samuelsson
It's often hilarious to me that I'm writing about Tonga or some tropical place and there's a blizzard outside and the cows are on their backs with their hooves in the air.
‐‐ Tim Cahill
It's often just enough to be with someone. I don't need to touch them. Not even talk. A feeling passes between you both. You're not alone.
‐‐ Marilyn Monroe
It's often meaningless to talk about a genetic trait without also discussing the environment in which that trait appears. Sometimes, genes don't work at all until the environment awakens them.
‐‐ Sam Kean
It's often out of my own insecurity. If I'm picky, it's for that reason. I want to be able to bring my best to the table. So if I'm not connecting to something, then I'm not gonna hold up my end of the bargain, and that's really embarrassing.
‐‐ Rachel McAdams
It's often said that costume designers are a faceless group of people. But we can contribute to fashion in a way that might be new and different.
‐‐ Colleen Atwood
It's often said that life is strange. But compared to what?
‐‐ Steve Forbert
It's often said that you're the product of the five people you spend the most time with. If you allow even one of those five people to be toxic, you'll soon find out how capable he or she is of holding you back.
‐‐ Travis Bradberry
It's often the case that successful people invite criticism.
‐‐ Michael Gove
It's often the case that the most strained moments in books are the very beginning and the very end - the getting in and the getting out. The ending, especially: it's awkward, as if the writer doesn't know when the book is over and nervously says it all again.
‐‐ Robert Gottlieb
It's often the case with directors that they don't like to share credit, which is the case of Stanley. He would prefer just A Film By Stanley Kubrick including music and everything.
‐‐ Terry Southern
It's often wrong to write for specific actors because one ends up using what is least interesting about them, their mannerisms and habits. I prefer not to write for specific people.
‐‐ Claude Chabrol
It's OK for China to invent cancer drugs that cure patients in the United States. We want them to catch up. But as the leader, we want to keep setting a very, very high standard. We don't want them to catch up because we're slowing down or, even worse, going into reverse.
‐‐ Bill Gates
It's OK, I guess, if you really need the money, but luckily, I'm not in that position.
‐‐ Shirley Booth
It's OK if Tim McGraw goes and does a movie, and it's OK if Justin Timberlake does a movie, but it's not OK for an actor to become a singer. I never understood that.
‐‐ Christian Kane
It's OK showing yourself some love.
‐‐ Mary J. Blige
It's OK to argue with your friends. Guys can do it better than girls, usually, but if you ever get into a fight with a true friend or a spouse or a boyfriend, get it out, fight, be angry for five minutes, and then move past it. Don't let it fester; don't hold a grudge. If you do, that's when it will get worse and worse.
‐‐ Ike Barinholtz
It's OK to be outspoken about your faith.
‐‐ Tim Tebow
It's OK to burn a Bible, that's OK. OK to burn a flag, OK, that's all right. But just, you know, for heaven's sake, don't say anything that might offend someone of the Islamic religion.
‐‐ Louie Gohmert
It's OK to do cute little things like kissing a turtle, but you can't kiss another person because he's a different color? Give me a break. And you have to remember, I'm from Dallas, Texas.
‐‐ Aaron Spelling
It's OK to have a little bit of curve.
‐‐ Miranda Lambert
It's OK to have a plan, to invest in your future - for your financial security, your love life, your personal fulfillment, and even your happiness. To have personal happiness as a stated goal doesn't detract from it if you get there.
‐‐ Karen Finerman
It's OK to have your eggs in one basket as long as you control what happens to that basket.
‐‐ Elon Musk
It's OK to joke about yourself and have self-perspective, but, like, when you constantly put yourself down to get other people to tell you you're good, that annoys me. Have confidence!
‐‐ Tove Lo
It's OK to let your children see you cry.
‐‐ Regina Brett
It's OK to not be political unless your country is falling apart.
‐‐ Rickie Lee Jones
It's ok to show all your colors.
‐‐ Luis Guzman
It's OK to sit in the Golden Globe room and look around and think, 'Oh, Helen Mirren's a loser tonight, so is Nicole Kidman. Meryl Streep lost tonight. Jessica Lange didn't win.' If you're gonna be in the company of losers, that's the company to be in.
‐‐ Sarah Paulson
It's OK to stand back. But it's also good to demonstrate that it's fun to be involved. As long as you are willing to say, 'This looks fun. I'd like to try this, too,' your child will mimic your example of openness, playfulness and optimism.
‐‐ Julia Cameron
It's OK to turn down stuff that isn't really interesting and spend the summer with my family.
‐‐ J. K. Simmons
It's okay for a guy to be a baddie, but a woman? No, we can't deal with that.
‐‐ Nikolaj Coster-Waldau
It's okay for me to be gay, but God didn't make me that way.
‐‐ David Copperfield
It's okay if you finish cooking something easy after your guests arrive - some dishes must be prepared a la minute, as chefs say. Just remember to keep talking.
‐‐ Ted Allen
It's okay saying sorry, but when you are drunk you say what you really feel.
‐‐ Vidal Sassoon
It's okay to be a fat man. It's prestige and power and all of that. But fat women are seen as just lazy and stupid and having no self-control.
‐‐ Camryn Manheim
It's okay to be a freak.
‐‐ Lisa Bonet
It's okay to be crazy, but don't be insane.
‐‐ Sean Combs
It's okay to be fat. So you're fat. Just be fat and shut up about it.
‐‐ Roseanne Barr
