The only thing I want to be able to do is come in and learn the offense, go out there and compete, show what I am capable of doing and try to get better as a football player.
For years I've wanted to write about the Australian countryside, but, like most Australians, I've only got a tourist's knowledge of it. I thought that if I disobeyed that basic rule of writing - write about what you know - I'd write a thin and inauthentic book.
The reality is when you make 'America First' a bumper sticker and pump it overseas, what you're telling them is 'America Only'.
People think SEALs are cold-blooded, heartless, wound-up, brainwashed killers. They imagine you can just point a SEAL in a direction and say, 'Go kill.' The truth is you're talking about a bunch of kind-hearted, jovial guys. The only thing that separates them is mental toughness.
Look, only in Washington is not raising taxes considered a tax cut. Nobody's getting a tax cut here. We're not cutting taxes. We're preventing tax increases from occurring.
We have a government that borrows $4 billion a day. We have a government that owes trillions of dollars in debt, half of that to foreigners, most of that to Chinese investors. I don't - that is extreme. Not only is it extreme. It's insane and it's unsustainable.
I have a theory that I really want my kids to know - the only coloration that they make between dad being in films and reality is just a lot of people doing a lot of hard work.
You are only as successful as the people who work for you want you to be.
My public caricature - that of a self-confident alpha male - is only partly accurate.
Truly great performers reveal not only their characters but bring everything they know about the world with them. It's not just what's in the script but the story of everything you've done and of who you are. If you're Chaplin, you're the immigrant. No matter what he's doing, he's always the little guy trying to make his place in the world.
An actor is only a part of the film, not the whole, and very often, he is moulded by the director. That is why a good director can make so much difference to a film.
After all, science is essentially international, and it is only through lack of the historical sense that national qualities have been attributed to it.
People say Malala's voice is being sold to the world. But I see it as Malala's voice reaching the world and resonating globally. You should think about what is behind Malala's voice. What is she saying? I am only talking about education, women's rights, and peace.
Being a villain is great, even though I've only gotten to do it a few times.
Advertisements contain the only truths to be relied on in a newspaper.
Knowing very little about a band only adds to the allure.
Emotionally, a person is tied to the land of his birth. It's only human.
If I care about poverty, I have to care a lot about investments in the private sector. The private sector creates the vast majority of jobs in the world, and social protection only goes so far.
I come from a culture where we wear white for weddings. In India, it's different. But I really feel that there should be no set notions, and a bride should only wear something when she's comfortable in it.
If the Bible is correct, and the Earth is only 6,000 years old, that means there were no dinosaurs, and museum curators have been messing with us. Or the dinosaurs were here, and we never noticed them. Or a lot of people saw them but didn't want to say anything.
There is only one real failure in life that is possible, and that is, not to be true to the best one knows.
Love is a special word, and I use it only when I mean it. You say the word too much and it becomes cheap.
There is no original truth, only original error.
Nonsense is so good only because common sense is so limited.
Whoever said love is blind is dead wrong. Love is the only thing that lets us see each other with the remotest accuracy.
When an organization is willing to support only lawmakers who are with it 100 percent of the time, it virtually guarantees that the debate will be bitterly partisan.
I suffer depression only in the sense that I am a writer. We don't have proper jobs to go to. We are on our own all day. Show me a writer who doesn't get depressed: who has a completely stable mood. They'd be a garage mechanic or something.
You can only realize change if you live simply. Once people want enormous excess, you can hardly do social change.
Only the unknown frightens men. But once a man has faced the unknown, that terror becomes the known.
The art of the cuisine, when fully mastered, is the one human capability of which only good things can be said.
The great actors we had came from the actor-manager theaters. Not only did they create a team, they were the generals working with the soldiers.
If you're in trouble, or hurt or need - go to the poor people. They're the only ones that'll help - the only ones.
I think the industry is oblivious to the fact that most people listen to all kinds of stuff. I personally don't know of anyone who listens to only one genre of music. It's vanity because no one does.
The future doesn't exist. The only thing that exists is now and our memory of what happened in the past. But because we invented the idea of a future, we're the only animal that realized we can affect the future by what we do today.
I never felt that I was typecast, but I was concerned about it. I certainly made an effort to take as many parts in theater and film that resisted that. If you only learn how to act a certain kind of role, it is very difficult to grow as an actor.
It's really important to me that the songs not only stand out individually but work as a full body of work, too.
