The one thing about 'Beautiful Creatures,' 'The Host' and 'The Mortal Instruments,' which are all well-made movies, is that they were all infected with a dreadful sincerity.
‐‐ Mark Waters
The one thing about being a dude and writing from a female perspective is that the baseline is, you suck. The baseline is it takes so long for you to work those atrophied muscles - for you to get on parity with what women's representations of men are.
‐‐ Junot Diaz
The one thing about being a parent is the ability to be selfless: To give up the things you want and need for the benefit of someone else.
‐‐ Danny McBride
The one thing about being on 'ER' that has changed is that I'm more easily recognizable.
‐‐ Linda Cardellini
The one thing about Billie is he will snap and rip your head off if you point anything out at all other than how beautiful he is and how nice he looks today.
‐‐ Tre Cool
The one thing about comedy, making it become a part of you, the audience loves it, because you become part of them.
‐‐ Bernie Mac
The one thing about doing all those movies and all that television is I know what I'm doing. And I can do what Sean Connery can do. I can do what Clint can do. People even say I look a little like Clint. But that's just because I'm skinny and tall and old. With a receding hairline.
‐‐ David Carradine
The one thing about going from the audience to the stage in just three years is that you know how it feels to be down there.
‐‐ Eddie Vedder
The one thing about my life that's different from others is that I wake up for no one, and for some reason, that's just good for your creativity.
‐‐ Douglas Coupland
The one thing about players today is that they're very sensitive, and very fragile. They didn't grow up with tough coaches.
‐‐ Doug Collins
The one thing about program television that's absolutely incompatible with any concept of art is that all decisions have to be made by program directors, whereas art is autonomous. It may be dependent, but it knows no superiors.
‐‐ Alexander Kluge
The one thing about the business of entertainment is that you have to learn patience.
‐‐ Kevin Hart
The one thing about The Weeknd is that he's gone between the world of trap music and pop music and blended them together, so it makes it interesting in that way. That's what I like about him.
‐‐ Babyface
The one thing an audience always has in common with a comedian is troubles. The Yiddish word for that is tsuris. You're always putting your tsuris on stage whether you like it or not. No one is untroubled, unless they're just, you know, an imbecile.
‐‐ David Steinberg
The one thing coaches cannot tolerate... is the individual who grows arrogant because he excelled at a lower level and believes he has nothing else to learn.
‐‐ Zig Ziglar
The one thing emphasized in any creative writing course is 'write what you know,' and that automatically drives a wooden stake through the heart of imagination. If they really understood the mysterious process of creating fiction, they would say, 'You can write about anything you can imagine.'
‐‐ Tom Robbins
The one thing for an actor that is complete death is if you're bored, because that boredom will show in your work.
‐‐ Benjamin Bratt
The one thing I always think about when I don't get jobs is that it just wasn't yours. You don't want to do something that you're not right for because it won't make the production look good, and it won't make you look good.
‐‐ Timothy Simons
The one thing I am now sure of is that if there is such a thing as destiny, it is a result of our passion, be that for money, power, or love. Passion, for better or worse.
‐‐ M. J. Rose
The one thing I am very strict about is that I don't like spending a lot of money on movies because the more money you spend, I think the worse that they get.
‐‐ Jason Blum
The one thing I can assure you is that I'm not going to do a Prescott.
‐‐ David Trimble
The one thing I could do was voices and impersonations and weird characters, and there was really no call for that, except on Saturday Night Live.
‐‐ Phil Hartman
The one thing I could do with my eyes closed is my Grandma's schnecken.
‐‐ Tom Douglas
The one thing I couldn't identify with was the blue cowboy outfit he put on.
‐‐ Dwayne Johnson
The one thing I did know - because I've seen many, many of the road trip movies that everyone thinks about - is that death to a road trip movie happens when you spend too much time in the car.
‐‐ Ben Falcone
The one thing I didn't do that was kind of controversial was go work for a daily paper, because I didn't like that kind of journalism, and I'm glad I didn't because that's the business model that's going totally extinct.
‐‐ Sarah Lacy
The one thing I didn't understand was the Minor Leagues, how that part of the business works. I'd see Todd Hollandsworth out there one game, and the next game he wouldn't be there, and I didn't understand.
‐‐ Giancarlo Stanton
The one thing I do have is good ears. I don't mean perfect pitch, but ears for picking things up. I developed my ear through piano theory, but I never had a guitar lesson in my life, except from Eric Clapton off of records.
‐‐ Eddie Van Halen
The one thing I do know is that I'm the best Taylor Hawkins drummer there is, and that is all I can hope to be. And when it comes to music, musicianship and skill, there is no such thing as better or worse because so much is personal opinion, and I can see that now.
‐‐ Taylor Hawkins
The one thing I do like is lotion and moisture on my hands and face. I love to have my face moisturized. I like different ones. I like Natura Bisse.
‐‐ Lil' Kim
The one thing I do not want to be called is First Lady. It sounds like a saddle horse.
‐‐ Jackie Kennedy
The one thing I do that nobody else does is jump three and four times for one rebound.
‐‐ Dennis Rodman
The one thing I don't consume during 'Today' - which surprises many people - is coffee. I find that a lot of water helps wake me up, without the buzz. I love coffee, but usually reserve a double espresso as an afternoon pick-me-up before settling in to do the weekend 'Nightly News.'
‐‐ Lester Holt
The one thing I don't do, that helps make me successful, is I don't rob Peter to pay Paul. All of my businesses have to stand on their own.
‐‐ Tony Stewart
The one thing I have learned as a CEO is that leadership at various levels is vastly different. When I was leading a function or a business, there were certain demands and requirements to be a leader. As you move up the organization, the requirements for leading that organization don't grow vertically; they grow exponentially.
‐‐ Indra Nooyi
The one thing I have never been afraid of is standing before important people and speaking my mind. I represent women who may never have the opportunity to go to the UN or meet with a president. I'm never afraid to speak truth to power.
‐‐ Leymah Gbowee
The one thing I have wanted to stay away from is the steroids. When I had an attack two years ago in my home state of Mississippi, they put me on steroids, thinking they were doing the right thing, and I had a violent reaction.
‐‐ Mary Ann Mobley
The one thing I haven't done that would be so cool would be, like, an action movie. Like a real action, Jason Bourne movie or something.
‐‐ Judy Greer
The one thing I learned the most about acting is it takes a tremendous amount of courage to go there and stand still. It takes courage and guts to step out of your mind frame and depict something.
‐‐ Carson Daly
The one thing I like about being a celebrity more than anything is being able to get into any restaurant I want.
‐‐ Tyra Banks
The one thing I like about 'Playboy' is they don't have the anorexic look. The women are voluptuous. So I didn't really want to diet. I just wanted to tone up.
‐‐ Jenny McCarthy
The one thing I loved so much about making 'Pitch Perfect 2' - especially in comparison to a movie like 'Ten Thousand Saints' - is you can go and be yourself, and you just know that all your weirdness and craziness and imperfections are completely embraced and accepted.
‐‐ Hailee Steinfeld
The one thing I'm absolutely obsessed with lately are gadgets! New cell phones; I walk around with three phones because I have all the new ones, and I can't choose which I prefer.
‐‐ Bar Refaeli
The one thing I'm convinced George W. Bush is good at is bipartisanship. It's clearly something he enjoys personally.
‐‐ Tucker Carlson
The one thing I'm not tempted to ever do is stop working. Retirement would be too tough for me. As a workaholic and an insomniac, I identified with my subject, General Dumas, who, according to field reports, would ride on patrols without sleep sometimes for two nights on end before going into battle - and winning.
‐‐ Tom Reiss
The one thing I'm proud of as a filmmaker is that people are entitled not to like my films - that's the privilege of the public - but I think I have my own imprint.
‐‐ McG
The one thing I'm really excited about is that the Saint Heron shop is not grounded in just fashion and clothing. We have connected with artists and artisans in every landscape.
‐‐ Solange Knowles
The one thing I'm really the most confident in as an artist is my songwriting ability and ear for pop music. I'm really excited to show that off. It was a side that I wasn't able to show on 'American Idol.'
‐‐ Nick Fradiani
The one thing I'm very aware of is I've never been particularly good at relationships.
‐‐ Thomas Sadoski
The one thing I miss is hitchhiking. Now there's no more of that. When's the last time you saw a hitchhiker? It's not that I consider it a great sport, but it was my way of seeing the country. The open road, especially in the western United States, is still very pristine, but everything else around it has changed.
