One of my mother's friends said to me, 'Your ex-boyfriends didn't stand a chance with you and your mother.' And I think I probably was unfair to them because she was the first person and the last person I called about every single thing. Sorry, ex-boyfriends.
‐‐ Lily Rabe
One of my motivations in life is to be a billionaire.
‐‐ Birdman
One of my motivations to become a blood specialist was to study malaria in red blood cells. But in science, you discover something and you want to go this way, but your work goes that way.
‐‐ Peter Agre
One of my mottos not only just in skating but in life in general and I try to enforce it as well, is like no regrets and just like going for it.
‐‐ Kristi Yamaguchi
One of my movies was called 'True Lies.' It's what the Democrats should have called their convention.
‐‐ Arnold Schwarzenegger
One of my objectives when I started Biocon was to make sure that I create a company for women scientists to pursue a vocation.
‐‐ Kiran Mazumdar-Shaw
One of my obsession is animals. I'm into dog rescues. It drives me crazy when people go to pet stores and buy dogs. There are so many dogs that need a good home. And this sounds crazy, but I really believe they know what is happening and are appreciative, and I just think they make for the best pets.
‐‐ Jim O'Heir
One of my officers said to me that Trinidad and Tobago is seen like an ATM card... you come in with the card and you come back out with cash. It cannot happen anymore. It just cannot happen.
‐‐ Kamla Persad-Bissessar
One of my oldest friends has a cottage on Smoke Lake in Algonquin Provincial Park, and it's one of my favorite places in the world.
‐‐ Alexi Zentner
One of my other nicknames was Thomas Edison, because I invented so many moves.
‐‐ Earl Monroe
One of my passions is photography. I always carry a camera in my bag whenever I travel. I always take pictures wherever I go, and some of them end up being really crazy ones.
‐‐ Sunidhi Chauhan
One of my personal indulgences is getting a weekly massage - it helps to re-align my body. I usually feel so much less tense after I've gotten rid of some knots in my shoulders and back.
‐‐ Noureen DeWulf
One of my personal plights in this business is about playing 'The Sassy Black Girl.'
‐‐ Gabourey Sidibe
One of my pet peeves about biblical epics was that the characters' costumes always looked like they're just out of the dry cleaners.
‐‐ Roma Downey
One of my pet peeves about Nashville is that it tends to be copycatted. I don't want to do that. I've got to be different.
‐‐ Blake Shelton
One of my pet peeves is that sometimes the talents of my band get overlooked because, and it was the same problem that Frank Zappa had, with a lot of groups that use humor, people don't realize there's a lot of craft behind the comedy.
‐‐ Al Yankovic
One of my primary objects is to form the tools so the tools themselves shall fashion the work and give to every part its just proportion.
‐‐ Eli Whitney
One of my principal childhood memories is hearing one of the Liszt Hungarian Rhapsodies waft throughout the house.
‐‐ Katharine Graham
One of my problems is I am getting so mature that I have to pick up a TV and toss it through the coffee table just to remind people of who I am. I want to go ranting and screaming into the grave.
‐‐ Michael O'Donoghue
One of my problems is I'm not really sure if I slot into rock or not. I've always tried to combine world music, folk, jazz, blues and rock, and have done since Traffic.
‐‐ Steve Winwood
One of my problems is that I'm very honest and direct. You pay a price for that.
‐‐ Amy Irving
One of my problems is to find the self.
‐‐ Max Beckmann
One of my problems, so to speak, is that, in America, we tend to think in relatively short-term. In the Middle East and Asia and other parts of the world, they think in terms of centuries or 500 years or 1,000 years.
‐‐ Jay Rockefeller
One of my problems with a lot of things I watch is that everybody's too pretty, and it takes me out of the film because I'm thinking that all these people look like I've seen them in a cafe in Los Angeles.
‐‐ Cary Fukunaga
One of my producers said this business is like a hamster on that little wheel thing that goes around and around. You may have a great day and get great ratings, but then you've got another show to do - whatever moment of success or happiness you have you've got to keep grinding it out for the next day.
‐‐ Sean Hannity
One of my proudest moments is I didn't sell my soul for the sake of popularity.
‐‐ George W. Bush
One of my proudest moments was probably 2013 Worlds because I proved to myself that I could do things that I didn't think I could.
‐‐ Simone Biles
One of my psychoses is that I feel like I can do anything. Actually, I believe anybody can do and make anything, even things that don't exist. The making isn't the hard part; it's having faith. If you do only reasonable things, you'll never start your own business.
‐‐ Bre Pettis
One of my real goals was to hear someone whistling a song I'd written.
‐‐ Mac Davis
One of my really good friends in New York is a musician and looks just like Lindsay Buckingham. We always fancied ourselves the nice Fleetwood Mac.
‐‐ Lauren Cohan
One of my reasons for living in California is its close proximity to Mexico. The Latin influence is in every corner of the community. My love of Spanish music hasn't wavered since the '50s. I could hear the blues voicing from the Flamanco families and I always dig for inspiration in Latin music.
‐‐ Eric Burdon
One of my resolutions is to quit smoking. I've tried for the past two years, but this year I am going to stick with it.
‐‐ John Oldham
One of my rules is: If it's good for the planet, it's usually good for your wallet.
‐‐ Jean Chatzky
One of my rules is never explain. A writer is a lot like a magician, if you explain how the trick works then a lot of the magic turns mundane.
‐‐ Laurell K. Hamilton
One of my rules is: Never listen to your old stuff.
‐‐ Lou Reed
One of my rules is pay more, eat less. You do get what you pay for, and if you're willing to pay more for pastured eggs or grass-fed beef, you're getting something that's more delicious, and you'll feel better about eating it.
‐‐ Michael Pollan
One of my school friends' parents owned a minigolf course, and a bunch of us kids would play there all day in the summer. Two-under deuces was a good score.
‐‐ Jack Nicholson
One of my 'Secrets of Adulthood' is: Somewhere, keep an empty shelf. I know where my empty shelf is, and I treasure it.
‐‐ Gretchen Rubin
One of my sensory problems was hearing sensitivity, where certain loud noises, such as a school bell, hurt my ears. It sounded like a dentist drill going through my ears.
‐‐ Temple Grandin
One of my side strange abilities is to hear a good song, no matter how it's being performed. Even if you get a bad performance, I can still hear that there's a good song.
‐‐ Manfred Mann
One of my signature strengths is the love of learning, and by teaching, I have built it into the fabric of my life. I try to do some of it every day.
‐‐ Martin Seligman
One of my sisters is physically and mentally handicapped. She took a lot of my parents' attention, so I grew up in my own world, playing in my room for hours and hours.
‐‐ Alex Kingston
One of my songs was on a jazz station for awhile. It was a song that I wrote for a jazz sax player friend of mine, and I sang and played the guitar on it.
‐‐ Trevor Donovan
One of my strengths is my ability to talk and communicate with people.
‐‐ Ertharin Cousin
One of my strengths is my explosive power. Especially at the start line, where you have to accelerate faster than your competitor. I train for that by lifting barbells. It helps your hips thrust and your muscles twitch faster, and it builds strength. But I don't do too much gym work because I don't want to bulk up.
‐‐ Bryony Shaw
One of my strongest memories is my father playing bongos in the living room in Detroit listening to Motown radio. He was this skinny white bald guy, but he was really moved by blues and Motown and funk.
‐‐ Sufjan Stevens
One of my style commandments is to always have beautifully radiant skin.
‐‐ Brad Goreski
One of my teachers once said that the way you know you're on the right path is that it works. Now, that doesn't mean you don't run into blocks and brick walls, but it does mean that you can find a way around them or find a way to change yourself or your project in order to find the flow again and have it work.
‐‐ James Redfield
One of my teachers says the sound you hear in the center of the universe is laughter. I don't know if it's true, but if you do something and 30 years later it still produces laughter, that's a fantasy you can't make up.
