I really would rather have gone to New York, since all my training had been in theater, but I didn't have the guts to go there alone. I knew only one person in New York, and that was a man. What I needed was a woman. That's the way Southern girls thought.
The only folk I can judge are people like Woody Allen who I think is a genius, largely because I think he has beaten the system. He has his own company, and his films are all his own ideas. It's his direction, and so it comes out the way he imagined it.
The Soviet Union had only one party. You couldn't express yourself freely; you couldn't admit belief in God. And yet this terrible regime understood that human beings have to express themselves, through music, even at a bad level. All kids studied music automatically, just as they did maths or languages or sport.
Theatre people, who are an adaptive species, know that to remain sane in the process of production where everyone and his uncle has an opinion about how to fix a show, you must pick the people whose knowledge and taste you trust and stick only to these few. The Tweetocracy is no place to look.
Art attracts us only by what it reveals of our most secret self.
In times of war, starvation, hunger and injustice, such tragedy can only be put aside if you allow yourself to be uplifted through music, film and dance.
It's like they had a backlash the first 11 years. I think the reason why it always seems like there's a backlash is because when bands are unknown, they only get written about by fans.
It is the small owner who offers the only really profitable and reliable material for taxation. He is made for taxation.
'24' is such a unique show. I've done a lot of television, but the real-time aspect - where we're shooting over 10 months and actually only doing one day - it's just crazy.
Life improves slowly and goes wrong fast, and only catastrophe is clearly visible.
We shot 'Delusion' in the middle of the desert and outside of Las Vegas where they did those underground nuclear bomb testings. So I only ate oysters and drank coffee because I didn't want to turn into a mutant.
No form of Christianity is absolutely and only true.
For only as we ourselves, as adults, actually move and have our being in the state of love, can we be appropriate models and guides for our children. What we are teaches the child far more than what we say, so we must be what we want our children to become.
And now here is my secret, a very simple secret: it is only with the heart that one can see rightly, what is essential is invisible to the eye.
Only in spontaneity can we be who we truly are.
My best country record only sold 200,000 copies.
There is only one passion, the passion for happiness.
In my opinion, he only may be truly said to live and enjoy his being who is engaged in some laudable pursuit, and acquires a name by some illustrious action, or useful art.
I only ever involve myself with brands I truly adore.
The only prize much cared for by the powerful is power.
What is it that love does to a woman? Without she only sleeps; with it alone, she lives.
I just feel that the only power I have is setting a good example.
If you only design menus that are essentially junk or fast food, the whole infrastructure supports junk.
I don't have newspapers in my house. I have a news application which only gives me important news, no Bollywood. So even if there is some report about me, I don't know.
We should be concerned not only about the health of individual patients, but also the health of our entire society.
I think I'm the only actor in the history of film who got to slap Sam Jackson on the face and butt and lived to tell about it.
I was the one that brought it in, but not only for the north-east, for every area so we can develop all the regional economies, lift up the national productivity, get greater wealth and share it more evenly.
Kosovo is too close to Europe. It is not only close to Albania, it is close to Greece, Italy, Germany and Switzerland, where there are still many Kosovo refugees. Spontaneous reactions could multiply.
I don't think the only place to fight for freedom is in the halls of Congress.
Being a father or a mother is not only a great challenge, it is a divine calling. It is an effort requiring consecration.
That's the whole thing: You only roast the ones you love. That's why I never make fun of the French.
There's no reason to keep a piece of furniture in your house that is so sacred and rare that you can't put your feet up on it and a dog can't jump up on it. Likewise, a book that sits on a shelf like a piece of porcelain, only to be admired, never to be read again, is a dead book.
Only the really plain people know about love - the very fascinating ones try so hard to create an impression that they soon exhaust their talents.
The only exercise I excel at is jumping to conclusions.
People need to know that they have all the tools within themselves. Self-awareness, which means awareness of their body, awareness of their mental space, awareness of their relationships - not only with each other, but with life and the ecosystem.
Judgments, value judgments concerning life, for or against, can in the last resort never be true: they possess value only as symptoms, they come into consideration only as symptoms - in themselves such judgments are stupidities.
