It was never my intention to be an actor, and I don't know if I'll ever call myself an actor because I've always said that would be a slap in the face to proper actors, but it's fun, and thankfully, I've had the luxury in my adult life that anything I've done has been fun.

Edge

The book industry is all about community, and it never really feels like anyone is competing against anyone, thankfully.

Adam Silvera

Thankful Pet Us

Thankfully, I'm lucky enough to be able to eat ice cream. I've got to have my cookies and cream! But I work out a lot, so I burn a lot of calories.

Adrian Peterson

Work Thankful Work Out

I'm part of the mushball middle. I consider 'confused' the majority position because, thankfully, most people would rather be uncertain some of the time than 100% positive all the time - even when they're wrong.

Al Franken

Time Thankful Positive

Thankfully, we live in country, unlike Russia, where we have First Amendment rights.

Alan Colmes

Thankful Men Where

America, thankfully, is not an easy nation to commandeer.

Anand Giridharadas

Thankful Thankfully Thank

My first book was so horrible I have deleted all copies of it. Thankfully, it was before the Internet, so there are no lurking caches of it anywhere.

Andy Weir

Thankful Where Thankfully

It's very expensive to treat your dog, and thankfully, I was able to do that.

Ashlan Gorse Cousteau

Thankful Your You

It is rare for an artist to get acceptance by the north as well as the south audiences, and I have thankfully managed that.

Asin

Thankful Art Age

'Master Harold' is about me as a little boy, and my father, who was an alcoholic. There's a thread running down the Fugard line of alcoholism. Thankfully I haven't passed it on to my child, a wonderful daughter who's stone-cold sober. But I had the tendency from my father, just as he had had it from his father.

Athol Fugard

Thankful Wonderful Wonder

I came to New York with $500 and I had to live on that, but thankfully I was taken up by photographers quickly.

Babette March

Thankful York Wit

The American work ethic is, thankfully, still deeply engraved in rural Nebraska souls. This is who we are, and we here in Nebraska have far more to teach Washington, D.C. than Washington, D.C. has to teach us.

Ben Sasse

Work Thankful Work Ethic

What's the nastiest injury I've sustained? Just a frostbitten toe... but thankfully it's still intact.

Ben Saunders

Thankful Us Toe

If I'm happy and joyous, which I have been a lot in my life, thankfully, I'm usually not at the piano writing about it.

Beth Hart

Thankful Life You

One of the things I miss most is that I can no longer read, due to age-related macular degeneration. I get regular injections for this, and thankfully these seem to have arrested its progress, but it's still very difficult for me to read. That means it is hard for me to pick up my Bible and read it like I used to, and I miss that very much.

Billy Graham

Thankful Age Very

Thankfully, I don't think you can be creative without being free.

Bishop Briggs

Thankful You Without

Writing might be unalloyed joy, were it not for the fact that power is always shadowed by responsibility. Thankfully, the absolute power that writers have is not weighted down with absolute responsibility. It can neither be suppressed nor diminished, except by choice.

Brian Stableford

Thankful Power Writing

Thankfully I still have things I want to achieve so I can just set more goals. Now I want to unify, I want to have big fights and then one day move up and become a two-weight world champion.

Callum Smith

Thankful World Champion World

People might think I'm very hard, what with my black make-up, my hair over my eyes, etc. My innocence didn't always help me, but it did preserve something in me that maybe others don't have anymore. I'm inside my bubble, you could say, and thankfully so, because I don't think daily life is always great. It protects me.

Carine Roitfeld

Thankful Life Great

We all turn into something different, I'm just glad that I'm aware that I've had this alter ego since I was five years old and thankfully it hasn't got me into too much trouble.

Cedric Bixler-Zavala

War Thankful Years

Thankfully I have an ecosystem of in-laws, parents and husband, who are my rocks.

Chanda Kochhar

Thankful Who Us

Everyone's gone through a breakup, and I've dated girls in the past where... I've never had a messy breakup, thankfully, but I'm never the one to end it. I'm always caught off guard as to why things ended because I guess I'm oblivious in a way.

Charlie Puth

The intersection of psychology and business is typically seen as being as congested, stressful, and emotionally barren as a peak commute traffic day on the L.A. freeways. But, thankfully, we live in an era in which neuroscientists are teaching us about the malleability of our brain and the emotionally contagious nature of our workplaces.

Chip Conley

Since I was five or six years old, I just wanted to be a professional football player. I wanted to play against the best players. I wanted to play in big stadiums in front of big crowds, and I was desperate to play for my country one day, and thankfully, I was lucky enough that happened.

Chris Coleman

Prior to going to college, I had a pretty strong accent, and that was one of the things I had to work on a lot. I went to North Carolina School of the Arts; my speech teacher... that was one of the things we really had to work on over the years, and thankfully I think it finally worked.

Chris Parnell

In the '60s when I was a student, there was this campaign to destroy 75 percent of the old buildings in Paris, replacing them with modern architecture. I realized this as a dangerous utopia. This modern vision did not understand the richness of the city. Thankfully, such destruction did not happen.

Christian de Portzamparc

Thankfully, I have my mom and a small group of close friends who are there for me 24/7 and whom I can trust and depend on.

Christina Aguilera

I'm very happy where 3-D is going, which is that it's becoming a choice - and thankfully, most people are still choosing 2-D.

Christopher Nolan

It's deep in the south of India and next to Goa, but thankfully the folk who like Goa haven't worked out that Kerala is a lot nicer and just next door. You do feel that you are discovering somewhere entirely new in Kerala. It makes you feel like you are on a totally different planet.

Claudia Winkleman

Thankfully, gratefully, cancer did not get the best of me.

Cobie Smulders

I anticipated we would go to college, and then we would fade out - that was kind of what we wanted at the time - but social media hung onto my brother and I, and thankfully, fans hung onto my brother and I, and I think it's one of the reasons that this reemergence can come back with a little more strength, and I'm very thankful for that.

Cole Sprouse

Thankfully, God blessed me with some legs that move pretty good, and we also get to wear pads, so I should be alright.

Colin Kaepernick

I think the challenge is going out in front of a paying audience with absolutely nothing and trying to entertain them for two hours. Thankfully, I only think about that right before we go on, and then once we're out there, everything's fine.

Colin Mochrie

Thankfully, my manager didn't talk me into 'Big Brother' or 'I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here!'

Craig David

I've lived in Hawaii long enough now where people don't make a big deal about me being there; I'm just a part of the community, thankfully.

Daniel Dae Kim

Life as a pro is definitely an individual sport. Thankfully that's how I've always been so I like it that way.

Daniel Dubois

I had one relative who passed away but fortunately none others. So my sort of experience of it is quite limited, thankfully.

Daniel Radcliffe

Thankfully, I was able to go to Marquette University and get my education, a Catholic education, so I could please my family, because I think they wanted me to be a priest.

Danny Pudi

I've been using the same editor, thankfully, she's been sticking with me, but I've been doing it full-on guerilla style... I haven't gotten any public sponsor or anything, because I don't want to seem like I'm trying to sell any particular thing.

Daryl Hannah

I got into sports, thankfully, because I didn't listen to my mother.

Dat Nguyen

That's right, fall in one pit and start over from the beginning! Well, thankfully my buddies practically tied me to my chair until I put in extra lives and I'm glad they did.

David Crane

Early on, I tried fiction, but I wasn't very good at it. I wrote a very bad novel that is thankfully sitting in a drawer somewhere.

David Grann

The joy of my career is I've been very blessed to be able to be an actor in major films, television, theater, and also British radio. In fact, my dream as an actor when I started out was to be able to work in all the media. Thankfully, that's what I'm being given to do.

David Suchet

Thankfully, I've got great support around me to keep my feet on the floor.

Dele Alli

After 'American Idol,' I got a lot of 'stuck up' rumors that just fueled the never-ending flames of high school drama. Thankfully, my real friends always stood up for me and knew I wasn't like that.

Diana DeGarmo

I'd like to get back home to Nova Scotia more, but thankfully, with technology you can call and text and FaceTime. But physically being in Toronto or Nova Scotia... there's nothing like it.

Diego Klattenhoff

Thankfully, roads have opened that could lead us out of this Brexit crisis. One obvious solution, which is fast gaining support, is to hand the issue back to the country. I would add that we also need formally to take no deal Brexit off the table, because that way lies chaos and disaster.

Dominic Grieve

You'd have to have one hell of an imagination to completely make up a story, but historians are very anal about what they think should be portrayed on screen. Thankfully they don't make movies; we do.

Dougray Scott

The beauty of Rome is that you can wander into a pizzeria just about anywhere and get a real Italian pizza that's thankfully worlds away from the Super Supreme I used to order at Pizza Hut as a kid.

Ed Stoppard

It was never my intention to be an actor, and I don't know if I'll ever call myself an actor because I've always said that would be a slap in the face to proper actors, but it's fun, and thankfully, I've had the luxury in my adult life that anything I've done has been fun.

Edge

I was an assistant director for a year, and I realized, 'God, this is a lot of hard work. This is going to take time. So what's the shortcut? What's the better option?' Then thankfully, someone said, 'Why don't you become an actor?'

Emraan Hashmi
