The only line that's wrong in Shakespeare is 'holding a mirror up to nature.' You hold a magnifying glass up to nature. As an actor you just enlarge it enough so that your audience can identify with the situation. If it were a mirror, we would have no art.

The only living works are those which have drained much of the author's own life into them.
‐‐ Samuel Butler
The only logical thing I can think of is that I knew there were such things as artists, and I knew there were none where I lived. So I knew that to be an artist you had to be somewhere else. And I very much wanted to be somewhere else.

The only love affair I have ever had was with music.
‐‐ Maurice Ravel

The only meat I eat is from animals I've killed myself.
‐‐ Mark Zuckerberg
The only medal that I am certain I deserved is the Purple Heart.
‐‐ Bob Kerrey
The only medicine for suffering, crime, and all other woes of mankind, is wisdom. Teach a man to read and write, and you have put into his hands the great keys of the wisdom box. But it is quite another thing to open the box.
‐‐ Thomas Huxley
The only message that terrorists need to get is that they're going to be beaten.
‐‐ Jose Maria Aznar
The only method by which people can be supported is out of the effort of those who are earning their own way. We must not create a deterrent to hard work.
‐‐ Robert Taft

The only model to follow is pure Islam.
‐‐ Abu Bakar Bashir
The only model to me that correlates with big success in the NFL is having a Hall of Fame franchise quarterback.
‐‐ Jeffrey Lurie
The only moment I become aware of being the only woman in a meeting is when actresses are being discussed. If someone's critical of how a woman looks, they turn to me and apologize.
‐‐ Jane Goldman
The only moral question with suicide bombing is who the target is. And in that sense, the suicide bomber is no different from the stealth bomber or the cruise missile. If it is targeted at civilian people, then it is morally wrong, whether done by Bush, Blair, or a suicide bomber.
‐‐ George Galloway
The only mountain that I would still like to climb: I'd like to break 85.
‐‐ Peter Falk
The only movie I can watch on a loop, over and over, is 'Help', the Beatles movie. It's so funny and irreverent and great.
‐‐ Emma Stone
The only movie that I would ever even consider retrofitting is the first 'Jurassic Park,' which I think would look pretty spectacular in 3D. That's the only one of my films that I would consider doing in 3D.
‐‐ Steven Spielberg
The only movies I want to do are the ones I'm passionate about. I care about school, and I'm still a kid. I want to live like that while I can.
‐‐ Lily-Rose Depp
The only music we ever listened to out in the piney woods was Roy Acuff and the Grand Ole Opry. That was the only night of the week I was allowed to lay in the middle of the bed with Mama and Daddy, just long enough to hear Roy Acuff sing; then I had to go back to bed.
‐‐ George Jones

‐‐ Tim Duncan
The only normal people are the ones you don't know very well.
‐‐ Alfred Adler
The only objects of practical reason are therefore those of good and evil. For by the former is meant an object necessarily desired according to a principle of reason; by the latter one necessarily shunned, also according to a principle of reason.

The only one I really like is a song called Saccharine.

The only one that got through was Jimmy Walker, because he plays the gas station attendant. I mean, there's nothing wrong with it, it's just that we were kind of purists at the time, and we didn't want any comedians.
‐‐ David Zucker
The only one that seems to be able to hold the business is Disney. They do it is because they have a fabulous philosophy about marketing- but even they wavered.
‐‐ Don Bluth
The only one who can beat me is me.
‐‐ Michael Johnson
The only one who can change the heart of man is the Lord. And that will make us want to make things fair for other people.

The only other human endeavor on which there's more 16-millimeter film than pro football is World War II, and we're going to pass that in 2013.
‐‐ Steve Sabol
The only other thing I can really remember wanting to do besides acting was a gas station attendant. At the time, that seemed like a great job - wash the windows, pump the gas - it looks so cool coming home with black hands. There's a natural transition, from wanting to be a gas station attendant to being an actor, right?
‐‐ Daniel Stern
The only other thing that interested me as a kid was being a bricklayer. So if I hadn't become an actress, I would probably be a bricklayer.
‐‐ Nikki Cox
The only other thing that's like video games for me is watching tennis on TV. I can have it on, and there's a rhythmic quality to it - I can be watching Wimbledon or the U.S. Open and still be working.

The only other thing which I think is important is: Don't write a book or start a book with the expectation of communicating a message in a very important way.
‐‐ Norton Juster
The only other things, and again these things are hearsay, is that he could be pretty rough on directors, because he knew exactly the way he wanted to play the part. And he did so.
‐‐ Tommy Bond
The only other time I can recall my dad getting upset at me was when I missed a hockey practice. My parents were away, so my buddy and I decided to skip it. I never told my dad about it, but he found out from the coach.
