One thing I hope I'll never be is drunk with my own power. And anybody who says I am will never work in this town again.
‐‐ Jim Carrey
One thing I incorporated in my novel 'The Poe Shadow' was the little-known fact that documents show Poe inherited a slave and decided to free him.
‐‐ Matthew Pearl
One thing I know about the rich, being rich, is that you can take money from me and tomorrow, I'm still going to be rich.
‐‐ Lewis Black
One thing I know from personal experience, judges hate it when parties talk publicly about their cases. There are a lot of things about our criminal legal system that need to be changed, and this is just one of them. Prosecutors know how to play the press. Most defendants don't.
‐‐ Michael Arrington
One thing I know in baseball is you should never be comfortable where you are. It doesn't matter who you are. It's a business. If I got traded tomorrow, no hard feelings; it's a business.
‐‐ Jon Lester
One thing I know is that I don't want to be a director for hire, making genre films.
‐‐ Paul Mazursky
One thing I know that's true about horror fans of any color is they like to be scared. And the easiest place to be scared is in a new thing.
‐‐ Tananarive Due
One thing I know: the only ones among you who will be really happy are those who will have sought and found how to serve.
‐‐ Albert Schweitzer
One thing I learn - I've been in practice now for half a century or more, and the most important ingredient for an architect to do a good building is to have a good client. I think a client counts for as much as fifty per cent.
‐‐ I. M. Pei
One thing I learned a long time ago as a prosecutor is that it's tough to get people to obey a law if there is not penalty for breaking it.
‐‐ Roy Barnes
One thing I learned about Gordon Brown is you've got to have the strength to just get in there and take him on. When you first hear him spouting his statistics and boasting about his record, it can be quite intimidating. But over time, shadowing him, I just realised that a lot of it was rubbish; a lot of it was baloney.
‐‐ George Osborne
One thing I learned about people is that they love to give their opinions about things.
‐‐ Katharine McPhee
One thing I learned about riding is to look for trouble before it happens.
‐‐ Joe Davis
One thing I learned is how much easier it is to write about clothes than it is to make them.
‐‐ Suzy Menkes
One thing I learned is that the park by the river in a recent story, 'Getting Closer,' is the same park by the river that appears for a moment near the end of 'The Eighth Voyage of Sinbad,' a story first published 23 years earlier. This echo at first irritated me, then pleased me deeply.
‐‐ Steven Millhauser
One thing I learned particularly at Yale was how to work with others. Having studied so long trying to master myself, the biggest challenge was learning about the other person's work.
‐‐ Trai Byers
One thing I learned working at magazines was that if you couldn't get people to look at a page or a cover, then you were fired. It was all about how you create arresting works, and by arresting I mean stop people, even for a nano-second.
‐‐ Barbara Kruger
One thing I learned working at the Brooklyn Navy Yard was to be on time. If the day begins at 8 A.M., be there early, get there, punch the time clock; don't just stand there like an oaf.
‐‐ Pete Hamill
One thing I learnt early on my career is that personal gratification takes second place.
‐‐ Brian O'Driscoll
One thing I like about Argentina, they only cook with salt; that's it.
‐‐ Robert Duvall
One thing I like about boxing is that I will not have to deal with the same kind of politics that I had to in skating. In boxing, it is not about your appearance, or how your costume looks, what color it is, or how much it costs.
‐‐ Tonya Harding
One thing I like about historical fiction is that I'm not constantly focusing on me, or people like me; you're obliged to concentrate on lives that are completely other than your own.
‐‐ Emma Donoghue
One thing I like about jazz is that it emphasized doing things differently from what other people were doing.
‐‐ Herbie Hancock
One thing I like about trying to write is that I can possibly write myself a role. Otherwise, you're at the mercy of whatever roles are out there that people are willing to give to you.
‐‐ Linda Cardellini
One thing I like about Twitter is that you can hear it from the horse's mouth.
‐‐ Big Boi
One thing I like about Zen. It doesn't believe in achievement.
‐‐ Agnes Martin
One thing I liked about being in microscopy is it gets you out of your box constantly because there's such a diverse range of applications.
‐‐ Eric Betzig
One thing I'll tell you is the food in Sacramento is off the charts. You've got good Asian food, the farm system where everything is natural, which I believe in. I like organic.
‐‐ George Karl
One thing I longed to do was to design a complete look, from head to toe, so I started a make-up line in 1966.
‐‐ Mary Quant
One thing I love about being back is English rain. Looking out of the window now, it's raining, and the sky is dark; I love it. To me, those are reassuringly English things. I love it when it rains.
‐‐ Kate Winslet
One thing I love about Christmas music is that it has a tradition of warmth.
‐‐ Zooey Deschanel
One thing I love about Josh Turner is his faith; that's why I looked up to him so much.
‐‐ Scotty McCreery
One thing I love is to do children's hospital visits.
‐‐ James Maslow
One thing I love most about New York is the variety of amazing foods you can eat. My all-time favorite is the Chicken Parmigianino at Jean Georges.
‐‐ Melania Trump
One thing I love to do is produce. I've produced a couple of bands. I mean, nothing ever really happened with 'em, but I enjoy getting a young band into the studio and guiding them, and making them feel at ease.
‐‐ Ace Frehley
One thing I love to do when I'm working out is take my watch off, take my heart strap off, and just run - not for time, not for exertion, but just to get the blood flowing.
‐‐ Abby Wambach
One thing I'm doing on the new Titanic recording is actually bringing in different acoustic spaces.
‐‐ Gavin Bryars
One thing I'm hearing a lot is from teachers who have felt that there's something wrong with the extreme group learning, but felt like they couldn't say that out loud. And apparently the discussion is now opening up. I think change is going to be a long time coming.
‐‐ Susan Cain
One thing I'm interested in is what shapes us: the people? The place where we live? It's both of those and more. That's what I keep coming back to.
‐‐ Sharon Creech
One thing I'm not going to do is chase staying alive. You spend so much time chasing staying alive, you won't live.
‐‐ Patrick Swayze
One thing I'm so grateful for is sidestepping the usual venture capital, private equity route. My friends who have gone that way are many times beholden to their boards of directors, to 'sell' ideas to a team.
‐‐ Blake Mycoskie
One thing I'm working on is an episodic web series titled 'One Warm Night.' It's a kinda crazy, quirky series, filled with a lot of misfits, oddballs... ninjas.
‐‐ Justin Lee
One thing I never want to be accused of is not working.
‐‐ Don Shula
One thing I noticed when I moved to America, people don't really know about me, so a lot of them question why I look like a boy or dress like a boy, or why I didn't have longer hair, or what's with the tattoos.
‐‐ Ruby Rose
One thing I noticed working in the Bronx is that leaders come in the craziest places. They don't always show up at community board meetings. Sometimes it's just the guys on the corner that the boys on the block respect.
‐‐ Majora Carter
One thing I often talk about in my business is that an eBook is not like a print book: it's very, very different. It's organic. It's changing.
‐‐ Bob Mayer
One thing I probably share with everyone else in the astronaut office is composure.
‐‐ Sally Ride
One thing I really envy about my friends who have kids is that as their children develop, they're able to revisit their own developmental stages and recognise themselves and undo a lot of things they decided.
‐‐ Chuck Palahniuk
One thing I really hate is experience. Experience for me doesn't work. Everybody's talking about experience this, experience that.
‐‐ Yohan Blake
One thing I really love in my single, 'Just Can't Let You Go,' is the beatboxing; I think it's really cool. Also, in my music, I'm not afraid to say what I want to say. I also think it's relatable for other girls out there.
