Oren Etzioni
I’m genuine, and I think people can see that when they watch.

Owen Jones
Gaga the person is much like Gaga the celebrity. She is very sweet, loyal, and funny with her fans, and she is very sweet, loyal, and funny with her friends.

Justin Tranter
I wanted to try and trace the genuine origins of ‘Johnny’ and how he so successfully staged this takeover of ‘Michael Pennington.’ ‘Johnny’ is a contradiction to who I am as a person. I’m not very good at confrontation, I have a tendency to internalise and to carry things around.

Rita Moreno

The intellectually sophisticated person is indifferent to all genuine individuality, because relationships and reactions result from it which cannot be exhausted with logical operations.
Georg Simmel
It’s a great feeling to have genuine friends who I have known since high school. It’s kind of rare, actually, and I love it.
Karrueche Tran
The people in Indiana are so kind and so genuine.
Michael Horse
I’ve never seen myself as a pop singer. I grew up listening to gospel, soul and rock. My approach to pop is that, when I was doing my album, I wanted to have raw, genuine lyrics, but wanted it to be easy to process.
Tori Kelly
Winter is always the hardest period for rough sleepers because of the climate and the post-Christmas dip in generosity towards anyone begging. And there’s a genuine risk to life for anyone having to sleep out as temperatures plummet.
Dawn Foster
It's difficult to find a genuine weakness that makes yo

It’s difficult to find a genuine weakness that makes you appear competent. For instance, telling your interviewer that your weakness is working so hard that you have trouble prioritizing your family life is a little too cliche and comes across as disingenuous.
Travis Bradberry
Failure is authentic, and because it’s authentic, it’s real and genuine, and because of that, it’s a pure state of being.
Douglas Coupland
I think glamour has a genuine appeal, has a genuine value. I’m not against glamour. But there’s a kind of wonder in the stuff that gets edited away in the cords of life.
Virginia Postrel
For me, I prefer to work on my own. I feel like I can tap into a more genuine place, and I feel like my best stuff comes from writing on my own in my own zone.
Tinashe
If you don’t like somebody, just be genuine about it. You don’t have to be anything else.
Nadine Coyle
Our study showed that the false memory and the genuine memory are based on very similar, almost identical, brain mechanisms. It is difficult for the false memory bearer to distinguish between them.
Susumu Tonegawa
That’s so rare in the world of TV or film to have a genuine friendship turn into something that people watch, that people relate to. That’s so unique.
Carrie Brownstein
The first thing that comes to your head is probably the only thing you should say. If you have to sit down and spend ten minutes trying to have something genuine, it may not be all that genuine.
Tyler Childers
When I think of the person that I thought was Bill Clinton, I think he had genuine remorse. When I think of the person that I now see is 100 percent politician, I think he’s sorry he got caught.
Monica Lewinsky
If an essay has a ‘motive,’ it is linked more to happenstance and opportunity than to the driven will. A genuine essay is not a doctrinaire tract or a propaganda effort or a broadside.
Cynthia Ozick
I think, a lot of times, people think they know what they want, but what they really want is something that’s genuine.
Benji Madden
I want nice songs. I don’t want to worry about where I have to place songs on a playlist. I’m looking to make genuine, great songs and put them together into albums.
Rex Orange County
My genuine belief is that if we can get through the eurozone crisis from a political point of view, we’ve got a lot of engines that can drive our economy, that will restore confidence and get us moving on.
Enda Kenny
He greatly valued his possessions, chiefly because they were his, and derived genuine pleasure from contemplating a painting, a statuette, a rare lace curtain – no matter what – after he had bought it and placed it among his household gods.
Kate Chopin
You have the right to kill me, but you don’t have the right to judge me. That’s life. There’s nobility in that. There’s focus. It’s genuine. It’s crystal and it’s pure and it’s available to everybody, so just shut your traps and put down your McDonalds, your vaccines, your Us Weekly, your TMZ and the rest of it.
Charlie Sheen
If I like a person, I don’t have any mask/filter. I will open up a lot. I had hurt myself in the past because a couple of persons took advantage of me. I realised that they are not genuine people. Since then, I take time to open myself up for new people.
Varun Tej
If I’m going to be using social media, it has to be in a genuine way.
Sarah Jeffery
I’m genuine and people can believe what I say.
Romario
The Paris climate agreement may be a harbinger of the spirit and mindset needed to sustain genuine global cooperation.
Joseph Stiglitz
Above all, I’m very genuine with my music. I would never sing about something that I can’t stand for.
Snoh Aalegra
Nevertheless, I resist cynicism and continue to believe in the possibilities for genuine democracy.
William Greider
Caroline’ represents the handful of women I’ve met in my life that I would put genuine effort in.
Amine
Children, like animals, and believe me, that’s a compliment in my world, feel the difference. They know where the truth lies. They can feel it in a minute if someone is genuine.
Sean Hepburn Ferrer
I will say that there are genuine and serious concerns about what Hillary Clinton did before the Benghazi attacks, during them, and after them. I think her extremely careless handling of classified information, to use FBI Director Jim Comey’s term, disqualifies her from being president.
Tom Cotton
If you cultivate a relationship in a genuine, thoughtful way, people will be more inclined to want to help you even though they don’t have to help you.
Douglas Conant
I never want to be one of those artists who feels untouchable and extraordinary. I have to be genuine.
Clairo
I am interviewing people with a spirit of genuine interest and compassion, and therefore, the general tone of the site is one of genuine interest and compassion. The moment that culture changes, ‘Humans of New York’ is no longer viable.
Brandon Stanton
A genuine man goes to the roots. To be a radical is no more than that: to go to the roots.
Jose Marti
There are so many different ways to lead. The most important thing is to be genuine. To have people around you trust you, trust in what you stand for and who you are. And I think that if people watch you day in and day out and believe in your motives and they believe that you set a high standard for yourself.
Steve Nash
One can only guess the amount of magic mushrooms a sane person would have to consume to believe that a frisbee constituted a genuine threat to roughly 3,000 police officers.
Mark Thomas
The genuine priest always feels something higher than compassion.
Karl Wilhelm Friedrich Schlegel
Not everybody who opts for surrogacy is doing that to s

Not everybody who opts for surrogacy is doing that to save their figure. People have genuine problems.
Kashmira Shah
I think when you’re telling a story from inside of you that’s genuine, people connect with it.
G-Eazy
Britney Spears is a big influence. Huge. I think people thought I was joking about that for a long time. But when I was a teenager, there was a genuine connection with this sweet girl who also had this very sexual side that people didn’t really want to accept.
Marina and the Diamonds
I value kindness in myself and others. I try to remain super-vigilant about my targets and make extra sure that my sometimes barbed comments are deserved and in response to genuine malefaction.
David Rakoff
A lot of times in coaching, that’s more than half the battle, to get people that are willing to buy in because they trust you and understand that you’re genuine in your motivations.
Duncan Robinson
The end comes when we no longer talk with ourselves. It is the end of genuine thinking and the beginning of the final loneliness.
Edward Gibbon
I make a genuine distinction between loneliness and aloneness. I know what each is like. There are times I’m lonely. But there are also many times when I need to be alone, when I don’t want the feeling of someone else in the house other than the cats.
Edward Bryant
I’ve experienced, in general, in New York, people cut to the chase a little more, and they’re a little bit more straightforward. In L.A. I’ve experienced more wishy-washiness. I will say, though, that the people that are actually from L.A. – like, born and raised in L.A. – are the real nice and genuine people.
Kether Donohue
There’s a lot of distrust of the United States, and I certainly see that. But at the same time, everything that I’ve seen is that the U.S. is a genuine force for good in the world.
Dara Khosrowshahi
Now I’m 18, I’m about to turn 19 – I’ll get a script for, like, a college frat boy type, and if I’d never gone to school, I wouldn’t really have anything genuine to draw from.
Skyler Gisondo
The characters in ‘Be Near Me’ come from a genuine place, a Britain that is more than one country and more than one ideal.
Andrew O’Hagan
Genuine poetry can communicate before it is understood.
T. S. Eliot
I design for the use of a building and the place and for the people who use it… the reputation for arrogance comes because when work is offered to me, I look whether I can find a genuine interest in quality.
Peter Zumthor
You’ve got some very powerful countries: Poland, the United Kingdom, Sweden and others who have a genuine desire to see the euro zone straighten itself out. It’s good for all of us, whether you’re in the euro zone or not, to make sure that it doesn’t lead to a fracturing.
Nick Clegg
I suppose I’ve always had a very genuine curiosity about religion. I loved the atmosphere of churches, the ethos; I adored Evensong.
Richard Coles
I do not conceive of any reality at all as without genuine unity.
Gottfried Leibniz
You need to believe in yourself and what you do. Be tenacious and genuine.
Christian Louboutin
In a world where distrust of Wall Street has never been higher, we’re holding ourselves to a different standard. We also know that if we don’t stay really genuine to that, it’s very easy for this to sound incredibly disingenuous.
Baiju Bhatt
My confidence wavers between being genuine and being insecure.
Bob Saget
Between now and then and I just felt it was ready and it was a long enough period gone by. I obviously didn’t want to hurt anybody, you know. It was done out of a genuine memorial or tribute whatever you want to call it.
Jack Bruce
You want to be honest with a character and play it truthfully, and you want to be genuine with your character.
Mila Kunis
I have quite a strong sense of wanting to sort of, wanting to help others. I’m not claiming I’m a saint, but I have a genuine, genuine belief in trying to help others.
John Key
Some prescient American collectors, including Vicki and Kent Logan and Mera and Donald Rubell, began collecting Chinese art before 2000 with a genuine passion, but as the auction prices exploded everyone was beating a path to the galleries and artist studios in China. It became the ‘China thing.’
Arne Glimcher
The only kind of dignity which is genuine is that which is not diminished by the indifference of others.
Dag Hammarskjold
There’s things you can say about me, but here’s what you can’t say about me: that I’m not being genuine.
Leah Remini
No genuine choice is ever simply a matter of the arbitrary exercise of will. Take your choice of lunch today. You can’t decide to want anything, but what you want will at least in part be a result of a series of other choices and judgments you’ve made in your life to date.
Julian Baggini
I’m definitely someone who’s really picky about who I work with and how I want things to go, because I have a high standard of integrity for my music. I want it to be genuine.
Natalie Prass
If men and women are to understand each other, to enter into each other’s nature with mutual sympathy, and to become capable of genuine comradeship, the foundation must be laid in youth.
Havelock Ellis
The genuine artist is never ‘true to life.’ He sees what is real, but not as we are normally aware of it. We do not go storming through life like actors in a play. Art is never real life.
Wallace Stevens
When somebody comes across as authentic and genuine and sweet, people just want to spend time with that person.
Pete Holmes
Act so that the effects of your actions are compatible with the permanence of genuine human life.
Hans Jonas
I envy Muslims their practice of regular and genuine pr

I envy Muslims their practice of regular and genuine prayer. It’s a beautiful practice that enriches their daily lives.
Jay Parini
Without imagination, there can be no genuine ardor in any pursuit or for any acquisition, and without imagination, there can be no genuine morality, no profound feeling of other men’s sorrow, no ardent and persevering anxiety for their interests.
William Godwin
I try to be as real and honest about everything and very genuine with people and say, ‘Listen, I’m a Christian, and I’m not perfect. I screw up every day, but I think that’s what grace is all about.’
Tim Tebow
My dad was always genuine with the fans and said, ‘You must appreciate every single one of them,’ and I always did. I always tried to make time for every autograph or every picture. What’s an autograph? It’s the simplest thing in the world.
Bret Hart
If you want to know the taste of a pear, you must change the pear by eating it yourself. If you want to know the theory and methods of revolution, you must take part in revolution. All genuine knowledge originates in direct experience.
Mao Zedong
To kill a relative of whom you are tired is something. But to inherit his property afterwards, that is genuine pleasure.
Honore de Balzac
I don’t think the North Korean leadership is interested in a genuine deal to end their WMD programs or their stranglehold on the North Korean people.
Lee Hyeon-seo
Until you separate the speculative behaviour of the financial sector from the real economy and the financing of the real economy, then we are not going to see the kind of stability or the capacity to drive genuine, income-led growth as opposed to debt-fuelled, speculative behaviour.
Sharan Burrow
I have two great examples of a father. My dad is honestly my hero and sets the bar high for how a man should treat a woman. My stepmother is a caring, genuine and supportive woman. My mom is a spunky strong woman with a huge heart. And my sister is just a pure angel. There is a lot of love in my family.
Kaitlyn Bristowe
Antonio Stradivari of Cremona, Italy, made about 1,200 violins, half of which still survive. After his death in 1737, factories churned out hundreds of thousands of copies. And every day, people bring violins with Stradivarius labels to appraisers, thinking they have bought the genuine article for a song.
Daniel Pearl
Genuine cosmopolitanism is a rare thing. It requires comfort with real difference, with forms of life that are truly exotic relative to one’s own.
Ross Douthat
I made the decision to turn pro, and I remember what Ali said to me: ‘Get Angelo Dundee. He’s the right complexion with the right connection.’ He knew boxing. Our relationship was so genuine, so sincere.
Sugar Ray Leonard
Americans care a lot about authenticity, rightly so. Every election is a quest for the genuine article. This is precisely what makes the long con of American politics such a rich and mystifying study.
Ben Fountain
There is a very genuine belief that without diversity of thought, companies can’t innovate.
Julie Sweet
People can smell when things aren’t genuine.
Doja Cat
All emotion is involuntary when genuine.
Mark Twain
Fake news is cheap to produce. Genuine journalism is expensive.
Toomas Hendrik Ilves
I wear crop tops and stuff, but I genuinely like that style, so it’s just has to be genuine. Once you start getting to that world where you’re using sexuality to try to propel something, you’re losing the moment. You’ve lost; people are not focusing on that anymore.
Kiesza
I think the most important part of anyone creating videos or creating anything is just being genuine and having it be true to what you want to do and who you are.
David Dobrik
For whatever reason, I’ve always been interested in those types of things – leadership books and different ways to connect with people in a real, authentic, genuine type of way.
Sean McVay
My guiding principles in life are to be honest, genuine, thoughtful and caring.
Prince William
I can make a record with six-part string arrangements and the best musicians in the world and have it be not genuine. I’d rather make a genuine record that I truly stand behind and have it fall where it may.
Julien Baker
I’ve come to learn that the determined and gifted and genuine sociopath has far more power to deceive than we realize.
Walter Kirn
Kids are the most genuine thing to me: everything they say and do, they mean it.
Paul Pierce
I’m genuine and I’m available. I want people to be at their best. I want them to love and be loved to their fullest ability. My friends call me their relationship nanny, so we have a good time working through problems. Now, I don’t claim to be an expert, but I am a woman who has been through everything.
Niecy Nash
Equality legislation, and audits on gender pay gaps, ethnicity and disability, – within companies and public authorities – all aim to stamp out the informal transfer of power through social networks, in favour of appointment through genuine merit.
Dawn Foster
I know many Catholics love God with all their heart. I have genuine respect for anyone who truly has given their life to Christ. We read about Mother Teresa and what a wonderful example she was.
Bill McCartney
The more one does and sees and feels, the more one is able to do, and the more genuine may be one’s appreciation of fundamental things like home, and love, and understanding companionship.
Amelia Earhart
You’ve got to be genuine and not try and be someone else – but be a better you all the time.
Owen Farrell
The best way to begin genuine bipartisanship to make America stronger is to work together on the real crises facing our country, not to manufacture an artificial crisis to serve a special interest agenda out of touch with the needs of Americans.
John F. Kerry
I’ve been wrestling for many years; I’ve accomplished a lot – but I take pride in being genuine, honest, and down-to-earth. Those are the qualities I really respect about myself, so I’m really pleased when I see that the energy that I want to exude is well received.
Rob Van Dam
The English countryside, its growth and its destruction

The English countryside, its growth and its destruction, is a genuine and tragic theme.
E. M. Forster
If anything, the genuine human struggles in ‘Sicko’ raise questions about our society that run much deeper than what passes for political discourse today. Why does such a rich nation let people suffer and die without health care?
Ari Melber
I see musicians like Bonnie Raitt and Emmylou Harris as more than just musical icons: they are planets, with a gravitational pull – from how they flip their hair just-so when they bow, right down to their hearty backstage banter. It takes decades to learn the innuendos of being gracious and genuine all at once.
Grace Potter
When people meet me, I hope that they say this: ‘This is a guy who, number one, loves the Lord, but he also loves people, and he wants to make a difference in people’s life. And he wants to help everyone he comes in contact with, and he is genuine, he is real, and he cares about people.’
Tim Tebow
I think being genuine, and being authentic, is a big part of leadership.
Brian Flores
There is no doubt our earth is warming and our seas rising – or that humankind is the cause. There is no evidence to refute this – or any genuine scientific counterargument in the climate change debate.
Bill Shorten
There is no reason inherent in the real resources available to us why we cannot move rapidly within the next two or three years to a state of genuine full employment.
William Vickrey
I like to be in the now, now. Sometimes musicians have to wait for me to be genuine with it. As an actor, I don’t have that luxury. You have to make it legit when they say ‘action.’
Jill Scott
There are certain players, certain leaders where, genuine and authentic, their message is going to resonate different than a coach.
Sean McVay
There is nothing like Southern hospitality. It’s such a beautiful and genuine thing.
Abigail Spencer
It’s all being true to yourself, being genuine and being the most authentic version of yourself that you can be. I think that can lead to a really happy and joyous life.
Stephanie Labbe
For me to work with someone, I have to know who I’m working with so I can learn how to deal with each other and try to help each other. At the end of the day, it really just comes down to building a genuine relationship. I think that’s a very important factor in business.
Ski Mask the Slump God
CNN wants me to tell the news in a way that seems genuine and authentic. They don’t want me to be Ron Burgundy.
Jake Tapper
Some people have interpreted the title of the show – ‘Love’ – as ironic. For me, it’s sincere. The idea that we have to agree with love is a genuine statement about love.
Paul Rust
I would much prefer that they take me as I am, that way the experience is genuine between the both of us.
George Duke
In a band with humor, it’s easy to be a caricature, especially when you’ve been around as long as we have. But we sing those songs as genuine as we can, always from the heart. When we do the fish sounds in ‘Rock Lobster,’ Cindy and I are pouring our hearts out.
Kate Pierson
We need true free thinkers, people who really say what they feel and have good, genuine intentions.
JPEGMAFIA
It’s amazing to be nominated for the Brits’ Critics’ Choice Award 2016. It’s such a significant award that highlights the importance of new music, so it’s a genuine honour to have been nominated alongside some other incredible new acts from the U.K.
Jack Garratt
The music is really about sharing an experience. That’s why we call it Stay Human. It’s like we’re sharing this genuine human exchange.
Jon Batiste
When you cry, you don’t look very attractive; you look snotty and blotchy. People seem to manage to cry quite prettily these days, and to me, that smacks of not being very genuine.
Jo Brand
It’s hard to be a good doctor if you don’t think about the social circumstances of who you’re treating. There are many Tory doctors, but I think it’s difficult to be a doctor and a genuine right-winger.
Robert Winston
The virtual choir would never replace live music or a real choir, but the same sort of focus and intent and esprit de corps is evident in both, and at the end of the day it seems to me a genuine artistic expression.
Eric Whitacre
The belief that all genuine education comes about through experience does not mean that all experiences are genuinely or equally educative.
John Dewey
Real education is about genuine understanding and the ability to figure things out on your own; not about making sure every 7th grader has memorized all the facts some bureaucrats have put in the 7th grade curriculum.
Aaron Swartz
When it comes to China, there are genuine giants that need to be conquered and dragons to tame. Protecting intellectual property rights and leveling the playing field for international trade are serious matters that must be resolved. But that will happen through honest negotiation.
Neil Bush
These seem to me so ambiguous, so vague, so easily misunderstood in comparison to genuine music, which fills the soul with a thousand things better than words.
Felix Mendelssohn
I just need to find a guy who is nice to me and I want to be nice to. It’s that simple. A genuine partnership. The two of you against the world.
Andi Dorfman
I’m a Kiwi country boy, approachable, genuine, never getting too far ahead of myself, a straightforward kind of bloke.
Beauden Barrett
I do want love. Genuine love.
Jill Scott
Ultimately a genuine leader is not a searcher for consensus but a molder of consensus.
Lloyd Banks
If smart technology can transform 3-D from a crude novelty to a genuine visual enhancement, why shouldn’t a sophisticated odor synthesizer follow a similar path?
Charles Platt
I think NASCAR and racing have been around for a long t

I think NASCAR and racing have been around for a long time. I certainly enjoy it, and there’s a lot of connects to people. People drive to work every day, and there’s a lot of genuine connection there. If people are interested in seeing that, building into that, I’m proud of what I’m a part of.
Chase Elliott
AOC understands how to be famous. It’s got to be natural. It’s genuine.
Dan Crenshaw
The essence of Hinduism is the same essence of all true religions: Bhakti or pure love for God and genuine compassion for all beings.
Radhanath Swami
Well they’re very, very genuine concerns at present as to the status of the 800 people who are to be sent by Australia to Malaysia. There’s concern about the status of asylum seekers in Malaysia generally, but there’s concern about the status of the 800 to be sent.
Julie Bishop
Almost the first thing Obama did in the White House was to return the bust of Winston Churchill to the British embassy. That suggests a major re-ordering of things. It’ll be fascinating to see what happens from now on. It was a genuine break with the recent past – perhaps to re-connect with the past past.
Amanda Foreman
The more deeply connected you are with the people that you’re working with, the better the work and the character, and then, I think, that really translates to life. It will help you in life to be more grounded and genuine.
Cameron Mathison
One Saturday in 1984, I walked into my first AA meeting. I went regularly for six years and only stopped when I came to realize my underlying problem was not genuine alcoholism, but depression.
Jack Dee
People want to see you be genuine.
Nina Turner
I just like stuff that’s raw, itself, real and genuine. I think that’s the way art should be. That’s the kind of stuff that people can connect to more.
Kali Uchis
I’m sort of an optimist, a high energy type of enthusiastic guy. Someone that tries to be genuine with the players, I’m not a guy that’s going to come in and be a drill sergeant.
Frank Vogel
When I go out and I see the genuine appreciation from the people, that’s a big thing for me.
Yami Gautam
An essay is a thing of the imagination. If there is information in an essay, it is by-the-by, and if there is an opinion, one need not trust it for the long run. A genuine essay rarely has an educational, polemical, or sociopolitical use; it is the movement of a free mind at play.
Cynthia Ozick
We all lose when bullying and personal attacks become a substitute for genuine conversation and principled disagreement.
Alicia Garza
I do hope President Trump’s calls for bipartisanship are genuine, and I also hope he takes the actions needed to unify the country.
Jeff Van Drew
People often ask whether Obama passes the ‘kishka test:’ whether he likes Israel special, not in the same way he likes Taiwan or South Korea? Does he? I think the kishka test was decided when he visited Israel. I think the reaction there was emotional and genuine.
Michael Oren
If your response to a problem or scandal isn’t genuine, followers will sense it. And remember, by saying nothing, you’re saying something.
Judy Smith
I do bits about dating but mainly about what I did and how incompetent I am, not any genuine people writing to me.
James Veitch
The majority of autists – as well as their parents – seem to be genuine victims of environmental stress.
Nikolaas Tinbergen
When I went to Australia, I had this feeling, like, ‘Wow, this is really a different country.’ I think that feeling of genuine foreignness, that this is a very different culture, which is increasingly rare in our globalised world.
Naomi Klein
I’ve been in this business long enough to recognize genuine talent.
Sajid Nadiadwala
It’s a fact that if Hillary Clinton is elected, the country’s chance to have a Supreme Court that values the Constitution – and the genuine liberty and self-government for which millions have died – is gone. Not for four years, or eight, but forever.
Eric Metaxas
I don’t believe in hopping from one social issue to the next to be a part of the movement for a moment. Anything I’m involved in is something that I would die for. I can’t support things that don’t feel genuine.
Machine Gun Kelly
Watergate showed more strengths in our system than weaknesses… The whole country did take part in quite a genuine sense in passing judgment on Richard Nixon.
Archibald Cox
It’s time to wake up to the reality that ignoring the genuine concerns of the ‘fringe,’ until it becomes the majority, is patently ridiculous. That the scapegoating of alternative opinions doesn’t work.
Margarita Simonyan
Having a profile means you have to be cautious of who you let into your world, as you don’t know if they’re being genuine or not, but it’s more that it can be a strain on your relationships.
Jesse Metcalfe
Genuine talent does shine through but, in my experience, ambition will get you much further than pure talent.
Alexander Armstrong
I had played ‘Mortal Kombat’ back I arcades in London, and I loved it. I came to the movies as a genuine fan of the intellectual property, and I think that counts for a lot.
Paul W. S. Anderson
Experts on romance say for a happy marriage there has to be more than a passionate love. For a lasting union, they insist, there must be a genuine liking for each other. Which, in my book, is a good definition for friendship.
Marilyn Monroe
I’m not handled. I’m not crafted by slick, high-priced consultants. I’m a real person, a genuine person, a struggling person in Connecticut.
Lee Whitnum
You seem to think that the only genuine existence evil can have is conscious existence – that no one is evil unless he admits it to himself. I disagree.
Gene Wolfe
Based on the role’s requirement whether it needs genuine portrayal or going over the top, I understand the whole process and deliver the performance.
Supriya Pathak
Pakistan has assured that it would not allow its territ

Pakistan has assured that it would not allow its territory to be used against India for any acts of terror. India must also reciprocate and address our concerns which are very genuine. Dialogue is the only way forward. Absence of dialogue leads to tension.
Asif Ali Zardari
There’s been a vacuum with movies that people can relate to. There’s been a paucity of dramas that people can relate to. I think audiences are clamoring to connect – particularly after 9/11 – with things that are genuine and real and I think documentaries are filling that need.
George Hickenlooper
Society can take two roads – the road to genuine prosperity, or the road to artificial stimulus. The first results in a permanent higher standard of living for all; the latter creates an inflationary boom that cannot last.
Mark Skousen
As a stand up, and often in acting, there is no place for the most intense feelings. Rage, genuine sorrow, naked hope… These things don’t fit on a comedy stage and if you act you’ll get to express them once in a while. Music is a place for the intensely personal.
Hal Sparks
Old is authentic. Old is genuine. Old is valuable.
Billy Graham
For me, it’s very easy to write a horror movie that’s just a succession of scary sequences, but it’s hard to find horror movies that have a genuine theme to them that are really exploring some aspect of our psychology and our fears.
Ehren Kruger
If you can’t relax during your interview, then nothing you do to prepare will matter. Being yourself is essential to the selection process, and interviewers will feel it if you’re too nervous. Showing fear or anxiety appears weak compared to a relaxed smile and genuine confidence.
Travis Bradberry
Popular music is one endless love song that, I suspect, the basically solitary Ella Fitzgerald approached much as the basically solitary Marianne Moore approached poetry: reading it with a certain contempt for it, Moore said, you could find a place in it for the genuine.
Margo Jefferson
Support for charities takes many forms. Some people give their money, some their spare time. I give my name and my voice. We give what we can to make a difference to the people and issues that matter to us. But what’s most important, especially for celebrities, is giving our genuine commitment.
David Harewood
I’ve always been very open and very honest with my fans. I want them to know that I’m genuine, and I am who I am, and I’m not faking it for the camera.
Colleen Ballinger
It’s so refreshing when I walk in and see a bunch of Asian actresses all competing for the same role because it makes me feel like I have a genuine shot.
Lana Condor
I don’t ever see myself retiring totally from music, because I have a genuine love and passion for it.
Dr. Dre
There is only one secure foundation: a genuine, deep relationship with Jesus Christ, which will carry you through any and all turmoil. No matter what storms are raging all around, you’ll stand firm if you stand on His love.
Charles Stanley
You come across those real, genuine friendships so rarely in your life and they are so precious, you know the people who really have your back, who love you unconditionally and aren’t your family. You don’t stumble across those people very often.
Jane Fallon
I’m laid back, I’m genuine, I’m easy to get along with.
Ginuwine
In the modern world, there’s a real genuine fear of loss of individuality, and I think the undead speak to that. I also think the idea of the dead coming back to life, and this unstoppable foe that just keeps coming and coming but rather slowly just chases you, is a real primal fear.
Paul W. S. Anderson
Scandinavia was awash with Maoism in the ’70s. Sweden had Maoist groups with a combined membership and periphery of several thousand members, but it was Norway where Maoism became a genuine popular force and hegemonic in the culture.
Tariq Ali
Praise is good. Some people over-praise, though. Genuine appreciation is rare to come by.
Raashi Khanna
I don’t think I could have a genuine relationship with someone who didn’t love to travel and appreciate new foods. Traveling is a big part of my life, and I want to share that with the people close to me.
Candice Accola
I think Putin’s popularity was genuine when he first came to power. He was seen as a welcome relief from the Yeltsin era.
Masha Gessen
A beautiful homily, a genuine sermon, must begin with the first proclamation, with the proclamation of salvation. There is nothing more solid, deep and sure than this proclamation.
Pope Francis
It is only through such real-life daily struggles and challenges that a genuine sensitivity to human rights can be inculcated. This is a truth that is not limited to school education: it applies to all of us.
Daisaku Ikeda
Once serious political dialogue has begun, the international community can assume that we have achieved genuine progress along the road to real democratisation.
Aung San Suu Kyi
I’m genuine! I’ve not got some dark, shadowy corporation behind me pulling the strings.
Limmy
Leadership that exploits and sacrifices young people on the altar of its goals is nothing more than raw, demonic power. Genuine leadership is found in ceaseless efforts to foster young people, to pave the way forward for them.
Daisaku Ikeda
No matter what the outcome is, as long as you pray to Him and be genuine – because He knows when you’re genuine and when you’re not – and maintain the faith, I think things will turn around for you. I know things will turn around for you. And ultimately, you will always be victorious when it’s all said and done.
Marquise Goodwin
So many times, genuine health workers and genuine NGO folks are really just trying to help other humans in whatever capacity they can. But they are perceived as being CIA, and therefore, it blocks their effectiveness.
Valerie Plame
A true leader has to have a genuine open-door policy so that his people are not afraid to approach him for any reason.
Harold S. Geneen
As an MP, I could hardly meet my constituents’ genuine needs as the funds at an MP’s disposal are meagre.
Vijayashanti
Genuine solutions that could help heal divisions in society have been ignored.
Kemi Badenoch
Facebook has become the richest and most powerful publisher in history by replacing editors with algorithms – shattering the public square into millions of personalised news feeds, shifting entire societies away from the open terrain of genuine debate and argument while they make billions from our valued attention.
Katharine Viner
Usyk is less of a puncher than Lomachenko but comes wit

Usyk is less of a puncher than Lomachenko but comes with just as high a work rate, so Usyk has to take some to give some to be exciting, whereas Lomachenko has genuine power, and he can stop fighters with that power.
Tony Bellew
I’d like to talk about free markets. Information in the computer age is the last genuine free market left on earth except those free markets where indigenous people are still surviving. And that’s basically becoming limited.
Russell Means
The short form, speed, and consistency of communication by Trump beat Clinton’s nuanced, detailed, and long-form communication. Trump came across as more genuine, Clinton as less than transparent. Trump engaged directly with his community; Clinton spoke through the media in a careful and less frequent manner.
Richard Edelman
In my case what happened next in 1999 was that I fell apart over that back nine. When I saw I was in genuine contention that year I felt like throwing up. That remains probably the most nervous I’ve ever been on a golf course.
Lee Westwood
I have a very clear, genuine vision about what political work should be, what politics and politicians should contribute to the nation.
Suresh Gopi
I speak plainly, I don’t beat around the bush, and I’m just genuine.
Ben Askren
Most years, if you were to ask me how much I make, the genuine answer is that I have no clue. I usually find out the answer to that question once a year, at tax time, when my accountant tells me.
Simon Sinek
Archer has a loose-limbed approach in a run-up that is not very long. He gets into a good position at the crease and releases the ball late from a very high action. He snaps the ball down at genuine pace. He has rhythm to his bowling.
Jonathan Agnew
What the world needs is people with integrity, people with genuine thoughts and intentions.
Navya Nair
There’s that stigma about New Yorkers, how they’re so mean, but in my experience it was quite the opposite. People were very genuine and very nice, even on the subway.
Taylor Kitsch
I love Buffalo. The people here are wonderful, genuine; they look you straight in the eye.
Ian Gillan
Decades of anti-migrant rhetoric in parliament and the press has resulted in few voters having realistic ideas of the genuine level of migration, on both a national level and in their local community.
Dawn Foster
The American experiment with representative democracy has been a great success, but we need to realize that it needs to be a genuine representative democracy where ordinary people have a vote, have a voice in choosing the candidates who represent them.
Richard Painter
When you’re true to yourself – not the audience that reads about me in the newspaper or sees a clip someplace, but the audience that actually comes and watches, just like Oprah – they get to know you and they sense something genuine.
Glenn Beck
But today, I feel the genuine warmth, the affection, and although I may joke about it, I am touched.
Perry Como
If you take ‘Agni Natchathiram,’ it is about two half-brothers and their emotions and those are genuine, which can be made into a very hard-hitting film just that it can be presented in an entertaining fashion. Similarly with ‘OK Kanmani,’ it is a genuine film; it is not a flippant film just for commercial purposes.
Mani Ratnam
I am a fraud. I have cobbled together my personality from hundreds of little bits. I am simultaneously the most genuine and the most artificial person you will ever meet.
Sebastian Horsley
It is not astonishing that there are many journalists who have become human failures and worthless men. Rather, it is astonishing that, despite all this, this very stratum includes such a great number of valuable and quite genuine men, a fact that outsiders would not so easily guess.
Max Weber
We genuinely believe to this day that it was an honest genuine mistake and we never imagined the punishment would be eight months. The precedent dictated that it was unlikely to be that. We don’t regret he played for that period.
David Gill
Honestly, trolls don’t affect me anymore. In fact, I want to use social media for the benefit of my genuine followers – I pick up one or two tweets and use my sense of humour to entertain them.
Taapsee Pannu
I want to see genuine talent rewarded.
George Osborne
Now that we are used to globalisation it’s hard to imagine a time when the countries behind the iron curtain were largely obscured from the western gaze. The Soviet bloc was a genuine mystery. Such was the dehumanisation of the Soviets that Sting could wonder in song if ‘the Russians love their children too.’
Mark Fisher
As I grew older, I realized that it was much better to insist on the genuine forms of nature, for simplicity is the greatest adornment of art.
Albrecht Durer
