As a young teenager I looked desperately for things to read that might excuse me or assure me I wasn't the only one, that might confirm an identity I was unhappily piecing together.
If you're in America a lot, it's easy to get into playing American. All of it, the sounds, the energies, all very different. But it's really hard to do the accent. I tend to try and stay in it all day, which is the only way I can manage it.
I've seen many, many movies over the years, and there are only a few that suddenly inspire you so much that you want to continue to make films.
All this technology for connection and what we really only know more about is how anonymous we are in the grand scheme of things.
Coming in and out of Hollywood for pilot season, I may have to thicken my accent or hear that, physically, I'm not Latino. I not only am, but there's another 50,000 people who look exactly like me.
Youth doesn't need friends - it only needs crowds.
If you're not a first-round pick or you're not 6-2, they always say you can't be the best. But the only time there's a weight class is before the draft. This is the NFL. It's all about what you do. I can run past guys and get done what I need to. I can do everything the big guy can do.
The only thing that I have to be assured of is that the character must be negative for a sensible reason. She should not be behind everyone's life just for fun, which is the case in many serials. Moreover, it will also test my potential as an actor, so playing a negative character would be an interesting challenge for me.
I went through a phase when I was 13 where I would only fall in love with people over the age of 19 or 20. I never had a real relationship with any of these people, but it was definitely the guy I wanted to hang out with and wanted to go on trips with. I would be like, 'But, Daddy, he's a musician!'.
Freedom of opinion can only exist when the government thinks itself secure.
The only pair of trousers a guy needs are grey flannel.
Politics is almost as exciting as war, and quite as dangerous. In war you can only be killed once, but in politics many times.
If you start any large theory, such as quantum mechanics, plate tectonics, evolution, it takes about 40 years for mainstream science to come around. Gaia has been going for only 30 years or so.
Pleasures flit by - they are only for yourself; work leaves a mark of long-lasting joy, work is for others.
And I used to go the punk clubs such as a gay club in Poland Street that everyone would go to because it was the only place you could go to looking like that without getting beaten senseless.
Renewables is part of social responsibility, but the information revolution is the only main thing I am interested in.
When I was a boy the Dead Sea was only sick.
There's only so many small shows you can do. A lot of the smaller things are more side project things. Not everything is appropriate for Sonic Youth to do.
It takes stamina to get up like an athlete every single night, seven to eight performances a week, 20 weeks in a row. And there are many young performers who only learn their craft in the two minute bits it takes to film a scene. You never learn the arc of storytelling, the arc of a character that way.
Some song ideas absolutely require a kind of rigid discipline, and others require absolute chaotic abandon. The form is only valid if you know how to un-form it. I don't mean to sound like an intellectual here!
Eating rice cakes is like chewing on a foam coffee cup, only less filling.
I've always been fascinated with the juxtaposition of technology in music, not only in recording, but in the keyboard. It's amazing the way you can apply technology to an art form.
Protecting the rights of even the least individual among us is basically the only excuse the government has for even existing.
Man only likes to count his troubles, but he does not count his joys.
Success is always temporary. When all is said and one, the only thing you'll have left is your character.
Freedom only for the members of the government, only for the members of the Party - though they are quite numerous - is no freedom at all.
It may be that when the angels go about their task praising God, they play only Bach. I am sure, however, that when they are together en famille they play Mozart.
This is what a family is all about - one another, sitting around the table at night. And it's very, very important, I think, for the kid to spend time not only around the table eating with their parents, but in the kitchen.
The acts of the human race on the world's stage have doubtless a coherent unity, but the meaning of the vast tragedy enacted will be visible only to the eye of God, until the end, which will reveal it perhaps to the last man.
It is not the employer who pays the wages. Employers only handle the money. It is the customer who pays the wages.
Hopefully you marry someone who you not only love, but who you like as well.
I only wear black. I think it suits me.
The Olympic stadium may have been built only in the early 1970s but it was clear for a long time it had no future. For many reasons it is not good enough for modern football and today's fans.
It rarely adds anything to say, 'In my opinion' - not even modesty. Naturally a sentence is only your opinion; and you are not the Pope.
I adore adverbs; they are the only qualifications I really much respect.
The full potential of labor can be utilized only if there is mobility in labor.
