When I'm writing, I separate from everyone. Even my band. I push myself, and I'm alone with my thoughts. Separating from friends and comforts and family lets you think a lot deeper about subject matter. Working alone drives me a little crazy, but it makes the writing as honest as possible.
— Vic Fuentes
There's a lot of drama that goes into just buying a house, let alone renovating a house.
— Vanessa Ray
I didn't think I'd even know a president of the United States, let alone work in the White House. Even though my parents always said you can do whatever you want to do, I never dreamed of this kind of an opportunity.
— Valerie Jarrett
The attempt to devote oneself to literature alone is a most deceptive thing, and often, paradoxically, it is literature that suffers for it.
— Vaclav Havel
If you write a novel alone you sit and you weave a little narrative. And it's O.K., but it's of no account.
— V. S. Naipaul
A movie like House of the Dead with around $7 million budget or Alone in the Dark with around $16 million budget are much easier to make profit than the typical $50 million major motion picture.
— Uwe Boll
What got me into MMA first was that I was a wrestler, and I was a gangbanger getting into trouble a lot and getting into fights. I grew up in a family of 15 in a four-bedroom house. It was dysfunctional, so that alone made me want to be an MMA fighter. It's really the only sport where you gotta basically depend on yourself.
— Tyron Woodley
From the beginning, my songwriting was from writing in a journal; it was completely unfiltered. I don't know if I really meant to show everyone this side of me, but when I saw how people resonated to the things I was saying, some of the questions I was asking, I realized I was not alone.
— Tyler Joseph
If we read the Bible asking first, 'What would Jesus do?' instead of asking 'What has Jesus done,' we'll miss the good news that alone can set us free.
— Tullian Tchividjian
All my friends were doing just dumb stuff that kids do, like making out with people at parties and starting to date... I didn't know any gay people growing up or any queer people growing up, and so I just really felt alone and kind of lost, and I just wasn't experiencing life.
— Troye Sivan
As actors and directors, I feel like our job, more so than anything else, is to shine a light on a subject and to let people know that they're not alone.
— Trevante Rhodes
Share shame so you are not left alone with it. If you can't find another person, get a journal. I didn't say make a video on Snapchat. It's for you, not anyone else.
— Tracee Ellis Ross
I never really had to deal with a death in the family, let alone my brother.
— Torrey Smith
If I was writing songs just for me I'd only play them in my living room, alone.
— Tori Amos
Largely this is a class thing - writers tend to be cosseted little middle-class kiddies who think that the world owes them a royalty cheque. But just doing it - being in your room for years on end, locked in your head, alone with invented ghosts - it weakens and softens the body. And I know I can't just live in my head.
— Tony Parsons
I love being on the road with others, with a camera, but also being alone writing poetry.
— Tony Harrison
I just want to be left alone.
— Tony Bellew
I really like the group tour better than going it alone. First of all, it kind of takes the pressure off a little. I'm not a naturally extroverted person. But I also like it because it brings in new fans. For example, someone who really loves Aprilynne Pike's books might pick up mine and vice versa.
— Veronica Roth
I think Finns in general, we are quite calm and I think we're mentally in general quite strong, and we don't mind to be alone. We are lonely wolves, a lot of us.
— Valtteri Bottas
People say it's a quiet flow, that it sounds like I'm in a library. That could have come from when I was living in my old place, a nice loft. I was the youngest person in the building, and I would be working alone on my music. I would get emails two or three times a month about 'loud' music, so I became quieter and quieter about making beats.
— Valee
I have always moved by intuition alone. I have no system, literary or political. I have no guiding political idea.
I think Alone in the Dark was too much an action creature movie than a horror creature movie.
For every game we play, I might have spent 12 hours working on the video alone. In an hour, the players have to understand everything you have seen in 12 hours.
— Unai Emery
Walking alone, just thinking - that's treatment, man. That's the most comforting rehab I've known.
— Tyrann Mathieu
I always find that the best collaborations are when you work with people that know what they're doing, and you leave them alone to do it.
— Twyla Tharp
The gospel alone liberates you to live a life of scandalous generosity, unrestrained sacrifice, uncommon valor, and unbounded courage.
If I have a show at night, I like to spend the whole day alone in silence. I know that might be crazy.
— Trixie Mattel
I eat with my hands when I am home alone!
— Travis Fimmel
I was watching the Nina Simone documentary alone in my room, and I said out loud to myself, 'Why do we not know that this woman is beauty? She is beauty! Why did no one tell me this growing up? Why was her name not next to 'beauty' in the dictionary?'
No one deserves to die alone. No matter who you are, you deserve to have someone by your side. And as a volunteer with hospice, we provide that love, comfort, and respect.
— Torrey DeVitto
I have so many different personalities in me and I still feel lonely.
I am quite hard to live with, and I know that if I go through a bad run, I'm not the best company and am best left alone. But I'm not nearly as bad as people like to make out.
— Tony McCoy
The writing is really hard. You're alone. It really pulls it out of you. You pull it out of your head. But when you're a director, you're shopping - you're picking this actor, you're picking this scene. It's like the most intense kinetic high-speed shopping of all time. You sit in a chair and it will all come rushing at you like a wind tunnel.
— Tony Gilroy
You need a whole community to raise a child. I have raised two children, alone.
— Toni Morrison
He alone loves the Creator perfectly who manifests a pure love for his neighbor.
— Venerable Bede
I know having a Jason Bourne all alone in a field firing at bad guys is much more dramatic, but it's not real.
— Valerie Plame
All I want is to be left alone to write my books.
— Vaclav Smil
The writer is all alone.
Alone is a much better film than House of the Dead and better than most horror movies out today.
There are lots of people in the world who have money. Lots of people in Morecambe have money, let alone the world. And Morecambe is quite a small place.
— Tyson Fury
Nowadays, if somebody in America is feeling alone and wants to find a coming out story, they just search 'coming out,' and they'll find millions of first-person examples of people telling their story.
— Tyler Oakley
'The Creative Habit' is basically about how you work alone, how you survive as a solitary artist. 'The Collaborative Habit' is obviously about surviving with other people.
We are not facing China alone; we are facing China together with a lot of other people in the region.
— Tsai Ing-wen
Anyone who writes knows that ultimately the majority of your time is spent alone in a room with a piano or a guitar, no matter what the project is.
— Trey Anastasio
I think my ability coming into the NBA is going to make it that much easier for me with the space and the different type of players here. I think just by the spacing alone is going to make my game that much easier and that much better for my teammates.
— Trae Young
It is not a liberty of circumstance, conceded to us alone, that we wish; it is the adoption absolute of the principle that no man, born red, black or white, can be the property of his fellow man.
— Toussaint Louverture
Sometimes, when I'm alone, I put on six inch heels and wear nothing else and dance around in front of the mirror and do my little stripper dance.
— Tori Spelling
When I was growing up with Chris, I was the little brother that was kind of annoying: 'Can I come?' 'Get out of here.' 'Can I play?' 'Get out of here.' So that's our relationship. I just do my own thing. I leave him alone.
— Tony Rock
Like most musicians, I'm good at becoming immersed in the music that I am currently working on. We seldom lift up our heads to contemplate even the music we will be doing in the future, let alone what we've done in the past.
— Tony Levin
Children need stimulation and stability. That can come from grandparents, cousins, teachers, nannies, childcare centres - as long as they engage with the children and are really fond of them. There are also times when children need to be left alone to learn to be independent and to encourage their imaginary friends.
— Tony Buzan
