Possessing things is not that interesting. Living in a grand environment to show myself and others that I have wealth has zero appeal.
It was amazing to have Mourinho call me, even though I’d been warned before how he would appeal to me. I listened to his arguments about why I should move to United. But at that time I was hesitant between staying at Leicester or leaving for Chelsea.
I know why people lie to themselves in life, but I’ll never understand the appeal of the dishonest theater where the actor doesn’t make some earnest attempt to include their own honest humanity in their collaboration with an author. It’s so ugly to me that it hurts sometimes to see it happen.
At the end of the day, Democrats go out and appeal to 30 percent of the far left; Republicans go out and appeal to 30 percent of the far right. Hey, there’s a big middle ground here that’s not represented. I think that, Bill Weld and myself, I think the Libertarian Party really occupies that ground.
Before vampires were aesthetically appealing, they were physical anomalies and ostracized outsiders whom we banished to the dark, and they didn’t have the appeal that they do now.
I love to cook, and my wife loves to cook. Sometimes it’s the appeal of the simplest of dishes – things you’ve grown up with in your life. Your emotional memory – something that not only affects your taste buds but that you’ve got an emotional attachment to.
The truth is, that’s what we moved to Nashville to do – to learn how to write hit songs. We weren’t necessarily trying to get on college radio. We’re trying for mass appeal.

Seeing so many comments on our YouTube channel from people all over the world, even if they don’t understand Japanese, made me realize that music has worldwide appeal.
Cinematically speaking, there’s more of a striking appeal to karate. It’s kicking and punching action. Jiu-jitsu is dudes rolling around and wrestling.
The landscape is television has changed so much, because there are so many outlets, that the odds of getting a zeitgeisty hit – you know how ‘American Idol’ seems to appeal to every human being on the planet? Doing that in comedy nowadays is very, very hard.
All the cliches of glamorous sophistication have little appeal to me. Do I want to live the British version of ‘Dynasty?’ No thanks!
With literary fiction, generally a film maker falls in love with a book. In commercial fiction, it’s a producer or studio falling in love with a book they can make into a movie with worldwide appeal.
Sex appeal is a good thing for commercial cinema. Though I can’t sit at home and consider myself a sex symbol, it is for people to do so. I want to be known as an interesting actor.
Loveleen Tandon, the casting director of ‘Brick Lane,’ understood my capacity and suggested my name to director Sarah Gavron. The film has such universal appeal that given a chance I would like to remake it in Hindi.

I did a big thing with Ritz Crackers – great cracker. Am I now the Ritz chef? No! Do I think the cracker has a lot of diversity and appeal? Yeah! Does it mean that’s my foundation of cooking? No!
One consequence of Russia’s klepto-capitalist model is the growing appeal of government jobs, with their lucrative opportunities for payoffs.
I think a family is the best way to open up the appeal of a show because everyone has a mother. Everyone has a father. Everyone has cousins or siblings. Everyone’s trying to pursue their romantic ideals and their relationship ideals.
If I could, I want to take a page from the George Clooney-like actors of the world. They do things that are relevant, things that don’t necessarily have huge box office appeal, but they matter.
No one can persuade another to change. Each of us guards a gate of change that can only be opened from the inside. We cannot open the gate of another, either by argument or emotional appeal.
The modern form of things had begun to appeal to me, also (as material for satire) politics, and the lives of the great and little, high up in the social scale.
A vital part of Trump’s appeal was his promise to make America emphatically great again, staunching the haemorrhage of jobs and investment to China and Mexico, and cutting back on handouts to NATO and illegal migrants.

For network TV, you obviously have to appeal to a wide viewership.
The Republicans love alpha-males, and they’re sick of the corruption, too. Not that Trump will do anything about it. But at least he’s not bought. And he throws in just the right amount of racism to appeal to the Republican base.
The symptoms of fascist thinking are colored by environment and adapted to immediate circumstances. But always and everywhere they can be identified by their appeal to prejudice and by the desire to play upon the fears and vanities of different groups in order to gain power.
I’d have signed for Real in a heartbeat. They’re a club with more glamour than Milan; more prospects, more appeal, more everything. They strike fear in their opponents, whoever they happen to be.
The primary source of the appeal of Christianity was Jesus – His incarnation, His life, His crucifixion, and His resurrection.
I love collegiate wrestling but the thought of training for international stuff just didn’t really appeal to me.

I was a ‘name’ in Europe because the type of picture I appeared in and the characters I played had a special appeal for them.
In places like the U.S. and Germany, women’s professional boxing is already quite big, but I’d like to be the name that makes it bigger and gives it more global appeal.
For me, the association with rock is one of force and anger and aggression. And definitely, in the past, I’ve made songs that attack like that. But what I usually try to appeal to is peoples’ everyday feelings, the things that they’re going through as they deal with the system on a one-to-one level.
If you have a film that’s talking about God, you would think that it would appeal to people that consider themselves religious, whatever denomination they’re attached to.
The Democrats take the black vote for granted so they don’t have to appeal to anything… I haven’t heard Mrs. Clinton talk about the urban pathologies in the American ghetto that are the result of progressive urban policies – failed policies.
The occasional nomination of a Todd Akin or Christine O’Donnell or Sharron Angle is a problem for the GOP. But it’s really just a symptom of a much more serious malady: an environment on the right that demands and rewards an ideal of ‘purity’ that has little appeal outside of the conservative movement.
I have fought all over the world, and I am excited to be in ‘EA Sports MMA’ because this game is going to show the global appeal of mixed martial arts.

Anne Boleyn is an intriguing character. She seems to appeal to modern-day women in a very potent way. Because she was such an independently opinionated and spirited young woman, which at the time was unheard of.
The word ‘success’ – who’s defining it? It’s about whether or not it makes me feel good. Four billion people don’t have to see or hear it. If I’ve enjoyed the process of creation and I’m at peace, then what happens next is just entertainment. If mass appeal were actually something, Marilyn Monroe wouldn’t be dead.
The bottom line is that red carpet helps us broaden the appeal of the brand. Calvin Klein used to be about a very specific woman, but we’ve dressed so many different women at awards.
The funny thing is, though I write mysteries, it is the one genre in adult fiction I never read. I read Nancy Drew, of course, when I was a kid, but I think the real appeal is as a writer because I’m drawn to puzzly, complicated plots.
