I like to be the only one who uses my toothbrush.
One of the hardest things I've had to deal with in my career is keeping my material topical even though I only release albums every three or four years.
'Rolling Stone,' my first single, was only a hit in Portugal, but when we recorded my second single, 'Can The Can,' I got that hair-on-the-back-of-the-neck feeling, and I knew it would be huge. It topped the charts in the U.K. and Australia in 1973, and I got my first gold disc.
Shakespeare's naturalness is attested to by the strange fact that he is the only classical author who remains popular. The critical termites are massed and eating away at the foundations, trying to topple him. Whether they will succeed will be a test of his robustness.
The only Zen you can find on the tops of mountains is the Zen you bring up there.

To be exempt from the Passions with which others are tormented, is the only pleasing Solitude.
I'm interested in art for all. I don't want it to be only the sons and daughters of Tory MPs who get to see my plays.
A claim for equality of material position can be met only by a government with totalitarian powers.
When you get started in comedy, you're at the bottom of the totem pole. Not only are you not getting paid at these open mics. You're actually paying to do them.
My father was this big, tough guy, almost heroic in proportion to me as a child. It was only later that I saw how fearful he was.
The only tough thing is admitting to my wife how much a certain article of clothing costs.
The reason bin Laden staggered the planes going into the towers was so every camera would be focused on the second tower when the plane hit. It was not only the murder, but the perpetual image of the horror that permeated into people's consciousness.
We toyed with the idea of making it a double album, but I think that would only have confused everybody even more, so we decided to stick with the songs we picked.
When I was a kid, nobody in my family had a car. And I didn't have many toys. The only toys I had were the ones I would steal.
I am careful about fiction. A novel is not a tract or an essay. If I want to write about land reforms, or Hindu-Muslim relations, or position of women, I can do it as it affects my characters as in 'A Suitable Boy.' I could only write about issues specifically through essays. But I'll do that only if I have something worthwhile to say.
Only a portion of my intestinal tract was working.
There are only three things that can kill a farmer: lightning, rolling over in a tractor, and old age.
The clash between capital and labour, between those seeking to maximise profit and those with only their toil to sell, was the driving force for the creation of the trade unions in the 19th century.
But the question is to find and rear leaders that are really one with the masses. This can only be accomplished by the masses, the political parties and the Trade Unions, by means of the most severe struggle, also inwardly.
