A man’s own judgment should be the final appeal in all that relates to himself.
Physical attributes can make you appealing, but to keep the appeal going, one has to draw from within. You have to be a real person. Your fans and the people you associate with have to be able to see beyond your looks. You have to be a good friend, dutiful son and a good family man.
I’m one of those artists who doesn’t really believe in fame. You can be a normal person these days, you don’t need celebrity appeal.
If L. Frank Baum had written ‘Wicked,’ I’d have done. It doesn’t appeal to me at all and never did.
We have to really appeal to that sensible center.
The appeal all too often is to the gallery, hungry for sensation.

Believe me, when you’re sitting on death row, you want the appeal process to take time; as long as you’re going through it, you’re going to be alive.
He will go down as a legend along with Elvis and the Beatles and Michael Jackson. Bob Marley is right up there. He was a leader for reggae music – he really made it appeal to a world audience.
I still want to be the candidate for guys with Confederate flags in their pickup trucks. We can’t beat George Bush unless we appeal to a broad cross-section of Democrats.
We were going for simplicity with the Minions and, frankly, I think that’s a huge appeal of the characters. They’re essentially pills with goggles. A child can draw them quite easily.
I’m sorry, but Juicy Couture tracksuits and Ugg boots don’t move me in any way, shape or form. I refuse to wear them. Modern fashion doesn’t appeal to me; the 1950s were better in every way, don’t you think?
It’s ironic that socialism and similar left-wing ideas appeal to people who fashion themselves as ‘anti-establishment,’ when you can’t have socialism without political repression.
Certainly there’s a huge appeal to the ’60s, because it was such a big turning point to everyone. It was the era of change, the boiling point. People rebelled against things – the hippies, the feminists, the protesters. All these things just built up and boiled over. I think people can relate to that today.
Nevertheless, this type of propaganda has a special value, for it serves to convince those who sign the appeal, of the necessity for carrying on propaganda; so a corps of propagandists, if I may use the term, is thus trained.
The whole reason that InfoWars was shut down was because the DNC saw him as a threat. The whole reason me and the Proud Boys were shut down is because the DNC hated our millennial appeal.
I’m kind of a good girl – and I’m not. I’m a good girl because I really believe in love, integrity, and respect. I’m a bad girl because I like to tease. I know that I have sex appeal in my deck of cards. But I like to get people thinking. That’s what the stories in my music do.
We can’t do every good thing there is to do in the world. Too many Christians live under the terror of total obligation, thinking every act of injustice, every opportunity of ministry, and every urgent appeal are our responsibilities.
Let’s face it, staying at home has its appeal. The modern family set-up with both parents working is fraught with challenges most of us will have experienced.
Light, trivial comedy does not appeal – it is not something I go to see.
It is like a voyage of discovery into unknown lands, seeking not for new territory but for new knowledge. It should appeal to those with a good sense of adventure.
I honestly think part of the appeal of ‘Rumours’ was that it was sort of heroic. We managed to push through in the face of so much personal adversity.
I do not enjoy being away from Richmond, my friends of a lifetime, and my home… I do not enjoy working 6 days a week and almost every night at a time when I had planned to be tapering off. There are compensations which appeal to any lawyer who is proud of his profession. The Supreme Court is an awesome place.
I am looking for a character that connects to me on some level. It has to be about something, it has to have depth to it and it has to be about something. The story of the character and their relationship with the people and places around them appeal to me and are what I look for.
But in our age the appeal to authority is weak, and I am of my age.
My grandfather was a Welsh dock-worker who voted Tory. Some of my friends are investment bankers who have voted Labour. It takes all sorts, and the best Tory values appeal to all sorts.
I have always marveled that so many religions exact such revenge against dissenters. It only weakens the appeal of their faith and contradicts any claims they might have made that ‘all religions are basically the same.’ If all religions were indeed the same, why not let someone be ‘converted’ to another religion?
I think I’m very fortunate to have a pan-Indian appeal.
The Minister of Transport issued this appeal to motorists: Can anyone give him a lift to Leicester?

I think any good literature, whether it’s for children or for adults, will appeal to everybody. As far as children’s literature goes, adults should be able to read it and enjoy it as much as a child would.
Let me appeal to the consciences of many silent, responsible citizens of the white community who know that a victory for democracy in Jackson will be a victory for democracy everywhere.
I understand that being able to appeal to the public and having an amazing sense of humour is not something that comes easy. It’s definitely a gift and for which I’m thankful.
It’s impossible to beat Katrina Kaif in looks and sex appeal. She’s too hot!
In my 40s – when I was giving to the Red Cross, United Jewish Appeal and other charities – I said to myself, this is all well and good, but these are really amorphous things, and maybe there are some causes out there that I really give a damn about.
Interesting stories appeal to me, much like it appeals to the audience. Or else I might as well become a banker and make more money.

You make a film and you don’t know who it’s going to appeal to.
There’s an appeal to the American sense of exceptionalism, that we’re morally superior, as way to not be self-critical. I think that’s a bit dangerous.
It’s an appeal as old as America and its presidency: This is an extraordinary country populated by hard-working, big-dreaming, freedom-loving people graced by God when they’re not pulling themselves up by the bootstraps.
I’d never heard of Robert Hellenga; I didn’t think a book with the name ‘Snakewoman of Little Egypt’ would hold any appeal for me at all.

Minorities have a right to appeal to the Constitution as a shield against such oppression.
I grew up listening to hits, and if I write something I feel, I think that’s pretty mass appeal. I’m not very elitist with music. Love is universal; a great melody is universal; it goes around the world; it’s not just American. A great song can touch the world.
I keep trying to write a bad boy and they always come out nice. I don’t see the appeal of someone who is going to demean me in some way.
I have a dirty mouth sometimes, and I’m very liberal, and that doesn’t always go down well in the film industry – especially when you’ve got to appeal to mums and daughters.
I think ‘NH10’ could have been done equally well by anybody else, and it’s not a ‘female-centric’ or ‘male-centric’ film. It’s the story that will appeal to the audience.
The appeal of the Golden Age heroes for me is their simplicity, even their naivety – they represent the fundamental building blocks of the whole superhero genre, whether it’s a ‘super’ man able to lift cars, or a vigilante who terrorises criminals at night like Batman.
I know that people think I’m sexy and I am looked at as that. It is cool with me. It’s wonderful to have sexy appeal. If you embrace it, it can be a very beautiful thing.
Logic is like the sword – those who appeal to it, shall perish by it.
I have often said that I wish I had invented blue jeans: the most spectacular, the most practical, the most relaxed and nonchalant. They have expression, modesty, sex appeal, simplicity – all I hope for in my clothes.
I think part of the appeal of Antarctica is experiencing some sort of power, the forces of the natural world.
The more dubious and uncertain an instrument violence has become in international relations, the more it has gained in reputation and appeal in domestic affairs, specifically in the matter of revolution.
Human judges can show mercy. But against the laws of nature, there is no appeal.
