I know, for me, that I have always been very conscious of how I dress when I go to the studio, I'm very conscious of my body language when I'm working - a lot of times, I'm the only female in the room. It's a very male-dominated profession. I'm always around guys. Guys are going to try you all day, and they're going to flirt all day.
A cook never knows if the dish he perfected for hours was described properly or if a guest even liked his food. It's hard to spend hours perfecting a dish only to relinquish control. But chefs need to put aside their egos and trust the people serving the food.
Feeling sorry for yourself, and your present condition, is not only a waste of energy but the worst habit you could possibly have.
One side-effect of the so-called war on terror has been a crisis of liberalism. This is not only a question of alarmingly illiberal legislation, but a more general problem of how the liberal state deals with its anti-liberal enemies.
Many people believe that they are attracted by God, or by Nature, when they are only repelled by man.
There's an enormous amount of obliviousness: a desire among young gentrifiers to see only the city they want to see.
The Union next to our liberties the most dear. May we all remember that it can only be preserved by respecting the rights of the States, and distributing equally the benefits and burdens of the Union.
I took a Russian class at Notre Dame. Never in my wildest dreams did I think I would fly someday in a Russian spacecraft with two cosmonauts, speaking only Russian.
For under certain conditions the chemical atoms emit light waves of a specific length or oscillation frequency - their familiar characteristic spectra - and these can come in the form of electromagnetic waves only from accelerated electric quanta.
Actors make bad lovers. Their most important kiss is for the camera. Not in a superficial way, in a really deep way. They can only give everything if they know someone is going to shout cut!
It is not only that Germany has been defeated in the war, Kaiser Wilhelm's Germany was defeated.
I don't have regrets, there are only lessons. You learn from them, and you become a better person.
My characters are fictional. I get ideas from real people, sometimes, but my characters always exist only in my head.
The distinction between children and adults, while probably useful for some purposes, is at bottom a specious one, I feel. There are only individual egos, crazy for love.
Dogma not only blinds its protagonist, but it muzzles all other opposition.
Existence itself does not feel horrible; it feels like an ecstasy, rather, which we have only to be still to experience.
Many have said of Alchemy, that it is for the making of gold and silver. For me such is not the aim, but to consider only what virtue and power may lie in medicines.
There is only one legend. That's me.
I spent as much time watching telly and films when I was a kid as I did lying around reading books. I think it's crazy that writers are only allowed to say that certain books have influenced them.
The weird thing about working in television is that you only see the people that you're in scenes with.
Here take back the stuff that I am, nature, knead it back into the dough of being, make of me a bush, a cloud, whatever you will, even a man, only no longer make me me.
I'm only going to work now when I'm terrified.
'Singaporeans first' is different from saying 'Singaporeans only.'
It is only our conception of time that makes us call the Last Judgement by this name. It is, in fact, a kind of martial law.
I am interested in mathematics only as a creative art.
Could we change our attitude, we should not only see life differently, but life itself would come to be different.
Pope John Paul II not only was a powerful spiritual leader for Catholics but also a world leader of extraordinary consequence during the last quarter-century.
Yes, some people say to me you're too skinny, but never a skinny person says that to me, only people who could lose a few pounds say that.
I must be honest. I can only read so many paragraphs of a New York Times story before I puke.
The only actual solution is the eventual collapse and demise of civilization... I think it needs to happen, but no one, not even me, really wants it to happen.
If you dispute with me you will only quarrel with your bread and butter.
Sainthood is acceptable only in saints.
My only true harmony lies deep within my soul, wherever that is. I know that somehow I am in tune with the universe.
I'm very supportive of women getting to a place in life when it's right for them to start a family. It's important for women to take their time to come into their own. I only want to say we might not have as much time as we think we have.
I always, always meant to be on stage. I only ended up even auditioning for television and movies because I was understudying a Turgenev play on Broadway and was so broke that, when I got a mini-series, I had to take it and was so ashamed because I was such a snob.
'Babel' is about the point of view of others. It literally includes points of views as experienced from the other side. It is not about a hero. It is not about only one country. It is a prism that allows us to see the same reality from different angles.
