They don’t have the edge that I need. I’m not interested in reliving 1988.
I’m not interested in gigs unless I really want to do them. I walked away from music in 1997, and then there was a greatest hits in 2002. Thank God, it didn’t do too well because the record company wouldn’t promote it.
So I like that sound, but I am not interested in being retro.
I’m not interested in re-creating the same blues I love so much. I’m interested in pushing boundaries.
I’m very uncomfortable with my body, and I’m not interested in people seeing it on screen.
I am not interested in ratings by Freedom House or whatever.
Doctors and scientists, being part of that two-sex culture, have done everything they can to try to force people who are in-between into one of the two clear types. Intersex people themselves have also generally wanted to fit into one of the two clear categories; most are not interested in being in a ‘third’ type.
It’s very scary to turn things down, but a project has to really mean something to me. I’m not interested in making a lot of money.
People might talk more about Real Madrid and Barcelona than about Atletico, but what matters to me is what happens on the pitch. We compete with them year after year. I am not interested about the club’s reputation.
Sometimes I felt like my columns were like little novels in themselves. But I wasn’t writing what I believed. I’m not interested in what I believe.
I have no connection with Hollywood. I’m not interested. I don’t care.
The last thing I want to do is to write about real things. I am not interested in reality and in real human beings and their real day-to-day problems – I just want to say to them, ‘Hold still, and I’m just going to unpack, see what’s inside.’
I’m not interested in what other people are doing. That’s their business.
I think that if writers are tempted to do other things, they ought to go do other things. They should not write if they don’t feel like it. I say this as a competitor. I am not interested in encouraging people who are in competition with me.
If you’ve followed my career at all, you will know that I perform best in comfortable surroundings. Though other leagues may seem more enticing to other players, it’s something I’m just not interested in doing personally.
I don’t drink anymore, I don’t go up the town and I’m not interested in events and parties.
My idol is Emile Zola. He was a man of the left, so people expected of him a kind of ‘Les Miserables,’ in which the underdogs are always noble people. But he went out, and found a lot of ambitious, drunk, slothful and mean people out there. Zola simply could not – and was not interested in – telling a lie.
I’m not interested in making folkloric records, but I like to push the traditional format around so that familiar patterns get knocked on the head.
I don’t really want to be fat, so I stop before I am. I’m not a vegetarian, but I might go through a phase when I’m not interested in eating protein for a week or so, and then I might go through a phase when I eat nothing but steak.
When I first heard ‘Robocop’ was going to be remade. I said, ‘Yeah, that’s interesting. I’ll probably watch that at some point, but I’m not interested at all to be in it.’
In the studio, if things go wrong, you stop things and fix them. I have never been in a recording studio, really, where the people in the booth were not interested in making a very good album. It’s often a light-hearted atmosphere but serious at the same time.
I’ve been approached many times to write all sorts of books about my past and my personal life. I get interest from people who want to do reality shows, and somebody just offered me a huge amount of money to write my spiritual memoirs. I’m just not interested.
I don’t know if I’m selfless – I still want to make a great record. I want to make a hit record. I want to tour; that’s not completely selfless. But the truth is I’m not interested in people coming to my show for me as much as I am for them coming to my show for themselves. That’s always been how I am.
A lot of the better offenses sacrifice defense to be a good offense and I’m not interested in doing that.
Criticism in good faith is good. When it’s targeted solely to destruction, I’m not interested.
I’m not interested in rumours; what counts is winning with Inter.
When I did win the Tour, I felt I was feted more in the U.K. for being an Olympic gold medallist… Then I come back to Europe to race, and they’re not interested in the Olympic gold; it’s about being the winner of the Tour de France – here he is.
I’ve always been most drawn to fiction that wrestles with that death-fear. Sometimes I joke with my students, ‘If no one is in danger of dying, I’m not interested,’ but of course I’m not really joking.
I am not interested in representing reality. Actually, I am interested in representing reality, but that doesn’t mean a naturalistic approach, which I think is kind of impossible.
If you’re not interested in history, if you’re living for the day, you need some sort of cliche hook. I certainly don’t think of myself as a cult anything. It’s a strange thing to even consider pursuing.
I am not interested in genres. I am interested in doing the best work I can in whatever medium.
In all honesty, I’m not interested in records.
We are not interested in the fact that the brain has the consistency of cold porridge.
I’m very particular who I work with. I’m not interested in portraying women with a cliched, generic look. I’m interested in a model who I can take a portrait of.
I’m not interested in the heroes or the villains. I’m interested in playing people.
I’m not interested in owning a bunch of driveways.
In North Korean culture, love is a shameful thing and nobody talked about it in public. The regime was not interested in human desires and love stories were banned.
I’m not interested in Botox or getting a facelift. There comes a point where you have to let go and accept that you are no longer the youngest and that you have other things to offer.
When I put on my consumer hat, and I’m buying tickets to be entertained, I’m not interested in seeing, like, ‘Don Quixote.’ Unless someone really spectacular is dancing.
I think improvisation is a technique and a tool. I think that even the best of them fail most of the time, and in the end, the audience is not interested in how you got there but in what you’re saying. The more clearly and concisely and artistically you say it, the more effective it is.
I’m not interested in seeing dance die. It’s not to my advantage. Nor is it to our culture’s advantage or anybody else’s.
If anyone comes along, I’m more than happy to welcome them, but I’m not interested in world domination.
I’m just not interested in the norm. The only example I can give you is I can’t go to a hairdresser and talk about holidays. I just don’t live in that world. It’s not me.
The Glassco Commission was really not interested in good science. It was interested in good accounting.
I’m not interested in nostalgia; I’m interested in who I am.
I am not interested in power for power’s sake, but I’m interested in power that is moral, that is right and that is good.
But the customer is the final, final filter. What survives the whole process is what people wear. I’m not interested in making clothes that end up in some dusty museum.
I’m not interested in possible complexities. I regard song structure as a graph paper.
Certainly, I read a lot and follow the news. But as a writer, I am not interested in a political story. I am searching for the humanity of the characters. I never set out to write a book about an ‘issue.’
I’m not interested in blind optimism, but I’m very interested in optimism that is hard-won, that takes on darkness and then says, ‘This is not enough.’
I enjoy reading blogs, but am not interested in having my spurious thoughts out there.
Funny is the world I live in. You’re funny, I’m interested. You’re not funny, I’m not interested.
I’m not going to get in to an argument with anyone about the relative merits of Judaism and Christianity, and what it means for a Jewish kid to be a Christian – I’m just not interested in that argument.
I don’t eschew autobiographical writing, but I’m not interested in mine to be so straightforward. The things that tend to move me the most are often those that I have to figure out its meaning for myself. The human being’s ability to make a metaphor to describe a human experience is just really cool.
I’m not interested in a character’s goodness. I’m interested in what makes them human.
Any conductor who tells you that if he is approached for the directorship of the Chicago Symphony that he’s not interested in it, you know perfectly well he’s lying.
I’m not interested in awards. I never have been. I don’t think they are important. Don’t get me wrong, if somebody gives me a prize, I thank them as gratefully as I know how, because it’s very nice to be given a prize. But I don’t think that awards ought to be sought.
I’m not interested in ‘lovey dovey,’ everything is so great in the world. That doesn’t interest me at all.
I’m not interested in how people move, but what moves them.
Gujarat is engrossed in publicising itself whereas Tamil Nadu, under me, is not interested in just talking and advertising, and is instead focused on helping the people.
