The thing I have to do as a writer, and that God permits me to do, is that I have to be willing to fail.
‐‐ Mary Karr
The thing I learned from 'Pride and Glory' is that people like to feel a little better leaving the theater than they did coming in.
‐‐ Gavin O'Connor
The thing I like a lot about acting is I'll never learn enough. I'll never know it inside and out.
‐‐ Dylan O'Brien
The thing I like about astronomy is being outside at night and seeing the stars in a dark sky. It makes you feel small.
‐‐ Jimmy Walker
The thing I like about baseball is that it's one-on-one. You stand up there alone, and if you make a mistake, it's your mistake. If you hit a home run, it's your home run.
‐‐ Hank Aaron
The thing I like about decathlon is also the thing I dislike: It's the maximum challenge, but also the maximum frustration.
‐‐ Ashton Eaton
The thing I like about my body is that it's strong. I can move furniture around my apartment. I can ride my horse... I can play basketball. It's a well functioning machine.
‐‐ Cindy Crawford
The thing I like about singing duets is that I get things out of my voice I never get singing by myself.
‐‐ Linda Ronstadt
The thing I like most about books is that anybody can afford them. They have an innate valuelessness.
‐‐ Chris Ware
The thing I like most about flying in space is not the view. The thing I like about it is doing something I feel very, very strongly about.
‐‐ Scott Kelly
The thing I like most about football is it's a meritocracy.
‐‐ Andrew Luck
The thing I like most in my kitchen is my marble counters. Everybody said not to use marble because it's fragile, it stains, it cracks, and it doesn't remain beautiful. But I love marble.
‐‐ Ruth Reichl
The thing I like to do most is shop.
‐‐ Madison Pettis
The thing I love about acting is that it's got nothing to do with me; it's about bringing forth a director's vision. It's like a release. I'm glad it's come back into my life.
‐‐ Lenny Kravitz
The thing I love about acting is that you can bring something very personal into the open and at the same time remain hidden because you're always playing a character in a story that someone else has imagined. You're always protected.
‐‐ Ben Whishaw
The thing I love about being a novelist is that with each project, you invent a new world. You approach it with a different set of aesthetic and structural ideas, and you grapple with a different series of problems in figuring out how to tell the story. And yet there are certain concerns that stay constant.
‐‐ Adam Mansbach
The thing I love about being an actor is the ability to travel and experience new cultures.
‐‐ Paul Wesley
The thing I love about diving is the flowing feeling. I like a sport where the whole point is to move as little as humanly possible so your air supply will last longer. That's my kind of sport. Where the amount of effort spent is absolutely minimal.
‐‐ Linus Torvalds
The thing I love about electric vehicles is not stopping in gas stations. We're so accustomed to that... Now I'm in control of when I refuel.
‐‐ Franz von Holzhausen
The thing I love about making movies is the peace of mind that I know I don't have to be perfect the first time. I can be perfect the second time or the third time.
‐‐ Gene Wilder
The thing I love about music is that you can take things that are painful, deep things that hurt you, and you can turn them into something beautiful.
‐‐ Ray LaMontagne
The thing I love about Myspace is it's a safe place where I can talk to fans every day.
‐‐ Art Alexakis
The thing I love about off-road racing is the pride in how abusive it is.
‐‐ Jimmie Johnson
The thing I love about political interviews is, if you're really prepared, you can make great headway because these are the people for whom, theoretically at least, the buck stops.
‐‐ Soledad O'Brien
The thing I love about Rome is that is has so many layers. In it, you can follow anything that interests you: town planning, architecture, churches or culture. It's a city rich in antiquity and early Christian treasures, and just endlessly fascinating. There's nowhere else like it.
‐‐ Claire Tomalin
The thing I love about science is finding out something new and different.
‐‐ Peter C. Doherty
The thing I love about sketch is sometimes it leads you as opposed to you leading it.
‐‐ Harland Williams
The thing I love about vampires that I find so fascinating is that, unlike other sci-fi creations, they aren't monsters from the get-go, they're human beings first... and so what kind of human you are would dictate what kind of vampire you would be.
‐‐ Rachelle Lefevre
The thing I love is that my home life hasn't changed. I still help out with the garbage. I still help out with the lawn.
‐‐ Taylor Lautner
The thing I love most about acting is that your capacity evolves as you evolve as a human being.
‐‐ Ben Whishaw
The thing I love most about going on vacation is that I get to leave behind any kind of schedule. My entire life is scheduled from morning to night, and when I'm on vacation, there is no schedule.
‐‐ Kelly Clarkson
The thing I love most about my job is watching people age backward, becoming more lively and energetic as they free themselves from situations that are toxic to their essential selves.
‐‐ Martha Beck
The thing I loved about Alfred Hitchcock is that he left a lot of open ends there, a lot of clues that didn't really add up the way you think they would, and sometimes, not at all.
‐‐ Kim Novak
The thing I loved about the cartoons I grew up with is, to this day, I'm still just starting to get certain references from Bugs Bunny cartoons. I'll see some film noir movie and go, 'Wait, that's what Bugs Bunny was quoting!' I like the idea we made the unfolding fortune cookie for ten years from now.
‐‐ Christopher McCulloch
The thing I loved the most - and still love the most about teaching - is that you can connect with an individual or a group, and see that individual or group exceed their limits.
‐‐ Mike Krzyzewski
The thing I'm always trying to do when I write is hit that sweet spot where the book both keeps you up late at night, and yet a week after you've finished, it still pops back into your head.
‐‐ Marcus Sakey
The thing I'm having a hard time with are the Christians who will stab you in the back in a wink.
‐‐ Reggie White
The thing I'm most focused on today is, how am I maximizing the effectiveness of the leadership team, and what am I doing to nurture it?
‐‐ Satya Nadella
The thing I'm most proud of is my family, the way they've turned out.
‐‐ Dick Van Dyke
The thing I'm most proud of is that I've raised a lot of money for certain charities - breast cancer and the Caldecott Foundation and the NSPCC. But as far as my self-esteem is concerned, doing 'The Graduate' for 11 months was fantastic.
‐‐ Jerry Hall
The thing I'm particularly interested in is natural history. In its heyday, the mid- and late-nineteenth century, when people were going out and gathering the first huge caches of data and trying to understand what was living and growing everywhere, there was such a sense of freshness to that pursuit. It's very exciting.
‐‐ Andrea Barrett
The thing I'm scared of most is not fulfilling my work. There's so much anxiety around trying to get a movie made that you don't really get to be afraid of anything else.
‐‐ Vin Diesel
The thing I'm the most proud of in my personal life is that my daughter actually thinks that I'm fabulous.
‐‐ Brooke Shields
The thing I miss about L.A. is time. I feel like I had much more time there, partly because no one is ever really doing anything.
‐‐ Emily Mortimer
The thing I miss about performing is being with people.
‐‐ Tim Federle
The thing I miss about Russia the most is what is called 'black bread.' It's rye bread, and everyone eats it. I slice mine up and put sunflower oil and salt on it... the best thing ever. It was like a little treat for me when I was a kid.
‐‐ Olesya Rulin
The thing I miss the most about Scotland is the football.
‐‐ Robert Carlyle
The thing I most connect with is the idea of not giving up. And that's a thing I have in my own life. You have to trust your instincts and keep trying.
‐‐ Callie Thorne
The thing I noticed about Jack was when we did a reading of the script, just to warm up.
‐‐ Amanda Peet
The thing I ran up against was everybody wanted a song so fast. It took me two years to finish 'Touch Me in the Morning.'
‐‐ Michael Masser
