I really don't feel like just going to WWE is the absolute end-all, be-all in wrestling.
Adam Page
What I would say to anyone who wants to be a model is, have something else. This shouldn't be your be-all and end-all in life: there are so many other amazing things to be done in the world. I also think that the industry really celebrates a woman who does something else. So keep at it, but always have something else.
Adwoa Aboah
It's great when you see things on a massive scale and you see these huge sets, but it's not the be-all and end-all - it can be about characters as well.
Alfie Allen
We never made attempts to say we were anybody's role model or the be-all-end-all of what people should look up to. We have always just been very open about the fact that we have difficulties and we are messed-up people, just as our fans are.
Andy Biersack
I have always believed that awards are like accessories to a car. They are very similar to the rear view mirror in a car, which gives you the confidence to drive. They sure mean a lot; however, they are not the be-all and end-all of life.
Atul Kulkarni
Having the letters UFC behind my name is not the be-all, end-all it is for someone. Some people think once they get into the UFC, that's it.
Ben Askren
In a healthy republic, there is a need for figures who understand that the presidency is not the be-all and end-all of the people.
Ben Domenech
I've kind of stopped valuing laughter as the end-all measurement of what I'm doing.
Bo Burnham
The WWE is the be-all and end-all of sports entertainment. They just do things right.
Bobby Roode
I was in TNA for over a dozen years. I had a great run there - I had a great career - but obviously, WWE has always been the be-all, end-all of sports entertainment. Until you get there and experience it on a personal level, you just don't know.
If somebody gives you accolades, that's nice to hear but it's not the end-all, be-all for me.
Brad Stevens
My mom and dad - they were always there. They were always on the set. They focused on our family life. The entertainment business wasn't the end-all. They weren't out to get the next big paycheck or the next big movie. It was about 'What can we do as a family.'
Candace Cameron Bure
I do think about marriage, but it's not the end-all goal.
Chelsea Handler
It's not necessary, in order to be a complete person, that I have a man. It's not the end-all, be-all of my life.
Cher
The entertainment business is not the be-all and end-all for me.
Dan Aykroyd
Humour is the be-all and end-all medicine of human existence.
Debra Granik
We want 'Doll & Em' to be something we're proud of. We'd love to do another series, but it's not the be-all and end-all. Our friendship is the be-all and end-all.
Dolly Wells
People tend to put too much focus on the lyrics. It's not the be-all and end-all of our songs.
Elizabeth Fraser
I consider acting a day job - it's not my dream; it's not my be-all, end-all.
Evangeline Lilly
I think it's all about the people who listen to your music, and loving playing and writing. Once you've got those two, and they're your main two priorities, then radio and TV and all the other stuff that comes with it will come. But that's not the be-all end-all.
Gabrielle Aplin
I'm a huge Freddie Mercury fan. I think he was the end-all. I love his lack of inhibition, his talent, the chances he took. He made mistakes on his records, and he didn't care.
Personally, I have nothing to fall back on, and that creates a weird ambition that you have to be good at acting because you can't be good at anything else. I wish I had gone for my degree - that acting wasn't this be-all-and-end-all.
I had a very brilliant father who was not only intellectual, but was street-smart and very curious to boot. The day I found out that he didn't know everything, I grew up. It was a shock. I just thought that the man was the end-all of everything, and he knew the answer to everything. Then I found out I'd have to find out my own answers.
The Olympics was always my be-all and end-all, so when I won, it was the best feeling in the world. But I didn't realise how much it would affect me mentally. All that pressure. I was only 19; I still didn't know everything about taekwondo, I wasn't experienced. I just did amazing on that day and won.
Marriage is absolutely not something I'm scared of, but it isn't necessarily the be-all and end-all.
Is it my end-all and be-all to become a standup comic? No.
I do have to say, there is this incredible benefit to being older. I never thought I'd say that. I've figured out that show business isn't the end-all. I thought I'd never be tired of Hollywood, of the experience, and I have to say there's some relief. As you get older, your taste changes.
Growth is not the end-all-goal of politics, but it is one of the most compelling deliverables.
I am not an enormous believer in research being the be-all and end-all. I get suspicious when I read about actors spending six months in a clinic, say, in order to play someone who is sick.
I don't use 'always do this,' 'never say that' and I never give advice because I'm not the end-all, be-all authority.
I would like to be the best in the world, but that's not the be-all and end-all. I want to have fun in my sport, and I want to take it as far as I can. Obviously, I do have big goals like that. But they don't take over who I am as a person and my family and everything else that's important in my life.
I hate art as a be-all and an end-all.
Hollywood executives believe that money is both the be-all and end-all to the moviemaking process.
Back in the days of Barbara Stanwyck and Bette Davis, beauty wasn't the be-all and end-all it is today.
I was brought up by parents who embraced the 1960s and taught me that being faithful isn't the be-all and end-all.
It's a really skewed part of our culture that happiness is the end-all be-all. The people that force themselves to be happy all the time often end up being the most broken.
I think you have to make time for yourself so that work doesn't become the end-all be-all.
People ask me, 'Is being a parent the be-all, end-all?' And I say, 'Oh, it definitely is up to the person, and it is difficult, it can be very difficult, and it can be extremely healing.' That's what I have found, that the children are mirrors. Everyone is a mirror, but children especially because they're day and night and all day long.
Audrey Hepburn, for me, was the end-all, be-all style icon.
The character I play in Star Quality says acting is the be-all and end-all of her life. I'm not like that. I do enjoy working and I give every job my best shot but I never feel, What on Earth am I going to do now?
My first wife tried to get back with me a year later, but there was no way. I used to think she was the be-all and end-all, but I got my stinky little pride back.
If the be-all and end-all of your ability is, 'Have you got a trophy to your name,' I find that hard to understand. It's so naive in terms of what the job of being a football coach is all about.
When I was a kid, I remember my parents would say, 'Baseball is what you do, but that's not who you are' - like that might be my job, but that's not the end-all, be-all. I feel like I might even be able to use it to help other people or open some doors or explore more opportunities.
Bret and I were friends, but we were young, and we made bad decisions. We couldn't see outside the wrestling business. It was the end-all, be-all. You were in that box constantly, so that's all you thought about. It affects your decision-making.
If you think the music business is the be-all and end-all of life, you're in big trouble.
My career is important but it's not the be-all and end-all of my life.
Writing songs about fancying people in dance clubs is all very well but it's not the be-all and end-all. There are other topics.
If you look at 1983, the film of the year was 'Terms of Endearment.' 'Scarface' was lumped in under the gratuitously violent banner. I mean, we knew it was violent, that it depicted a violent time and place. But it wasn't the end-all of the thing.
If my films fail, I will work on something else; my life will not end. And the film is not the end-all of my life.
New York is fantastic, and I've done several films in Los Angeles which I really enjoyed, but I don't think that America is the be-all and end-all. I'll follow the good work wherever it may be.
