I admire people who just do the right thing, not looking to screw people up. I love all people.
Actors I admire? Ed Harris, or course, I think he’s terrific; because I know he always had to fight being what he looked like a lot, but I think he’s a terrific actor.
I’ve tried to say that I admire and respect Sen. Obama. He has accomplished great things, and he has motivated people, and so – and he loves his country, just as I do.
I want to literally quit drag and go live in the woods somewhere and write music for my favorite female singers, like Miley Cyrus or Kacey Musgraves. I would love to be able to write music for them and hear these women I admire sing my songs. That would be like doing drag without having to get into drag myself.
I admire President Chavez for his strength to resist the United States. Instead, Bush is waging a war of terrorism against the world.
One of the things I admire most about millennials is they celebrate individualism, and their singularity is encouraged. To be different is to be cool as opposed to weird.
I certainly admire people who do things.
Some of my best experiences are with writer/directors. Guy Ritchie is one. I feel they have a clearer view of what they want to do. They haven’t got to try and interpret someone’s writing; it’s all theirs. I really admire that.
I can’t think of anyone I admire who isn’t fuelled by self-doubt. It’s an essential ingredient. It’s the grit in the oyster.
A lot of people would say ‘sexy’ is about the body. But to me, ‘sexy’ is a woman with confidence. I admire women who have very little fear.
I respect our greats. I admire them.

I guess that in this process of trying to incorporate or to be faithful to the films I admire so much, that’s how I start to find my own voice. The admiration I have for filmmakers, this gratitude, perhaps that’s my only way to become specific.
I have spent a great deal of my life being part of minorities. Some of the people I admire the most in the world have had the courage to defend, against wind and tide, minority viewpoints in those frightening times when any disagreement with universal conformity is identified as treason.
I admire those people who hold on to their elegance in old age but I’d rather have fun.

When I look at women, older than I am, in their 50s, 60, 70s, 80s, and I see women that I admire, I think, ‘Oh, I get it; that’s how I’m going to be.’ I’m not scared. I want to be that.
When you read a piece of writing that you admire, send a note of thanks to the author.
I was a young boy when I met the Surrealists and the Dadaists. I admired them, and that is what they taught me: to admire. Admiration is very important. People who are unable to admire others lose an important part of their soul. My soul developed from a very early age through encounters with admired people.
I like Stella McCartney, Chloe, Alexander McQueen, Aaron Featherstone, normal Chanel if I can ever afford it, I’d be wearing that all the time! I like to admire from afar.

The quality I most admire in a man is steadfastness.
Eddie Murphy, Bill Murray, Will Ferrell, those guys mean so much to me because I watched those guys and how they transform and watch the commitment to what they do. I admire them.

The actors that I admire are able to step into so many different roles.
All of the great writers whom I admire have died. I guess the most recent one would be Marquez.
I’ve seen people with a tremendous amount of educational background in the field not turn out to be terribly good actors, and I’ve seen people with no education in the field turn out to be people that I admire quite a bit.
I admire Johann Strauss a lot. I believe he was a genius of his time.
I admire people who come to politics because it takes a lot of courage to be in politics in India.
If you agree with a critic, you admire him or her. If you disagree, you despise them. We all feel a great need to be confirmed in our opinions.
I admire people who are creative.
People who are comfortable in their own skin I admire, but you don’t know what’s really going on. If you meet someone who says they nail being a human, they are as far away from nailing it as a human as you can possibly imagine.
Find people not to envy but to admire. Do not the profitable but the admirable deed. Live by ideals.
The best way to learn to be present and develop presence is to have the experience of someone you respect and admire being present with and for you.
I admire pop songs that are perfect at three minutes.
The people I admire most are those doing outstanding things for the poorest children, such as Michael Wilshaw at Mossbourne academy, Dan Moynihan and all those at the Harris academies, and those at chains such as Ark and the Haberdashers, who are driving up standards in the poorest areas.
Any dictator would admire the uniformity and obedience of the U.S. media.
When I meet someone who I really admire, I enjoy nothing more than trying to connect with them and asking them about their career. I want to know who the people are behind the performances and how they relate to their performances. But it’s maybe not as novel as it once was.
When people are in the midst of really heavy stuff and still have a sense of humor, I admire that.
Fools admire, but men of sense approve.
I have a great deal of respect for other clubs and admire the good football they play, but ultimately, Real Madrid are Real Madrid.
I admire anyone who can show they can dig deep. Ballesteros and Sergio Garcia, people who are obviously mentally strong. Or Graham Thorpe. He is your fighter. He’s the kid who is bullied at school but will stand up in a fight when it matters.
I feel lucky that so many people admire me.
I always try to find something I admire about every character I play.
I always admire people who do commercials because they have to put together a beginning, a middle, and an end in 30 seconds.

There are many people, including me, who admire the original mission of WikiLeaks.
I admire artists who really take risks and aren’t afraid to do smaller movies and obscure, abstract things. It would be really cool if my career neared that.
I admire people’s marriages, and I think it’s a wonderful thing to have, but I don’t think it’s the only way to live. I think there are many ways to live and many ways to establish intimate support in your life that can be from family or friends or great roommates that you like.
I have role models, but I take the attributes of the people that I admire, and I use them to create my best self.

All I’m saying is that there are many different kinds of political theatre and many plays I greatly admire: ‘Antigone,’ ‘Mother Courage,’ ‘All My Sons.’ But, if I tackle a political theme, I have to do it in my own way.
I see a ton of theatre whenever I’m not working to stay inspired. I love feeling like I’m a part of the theatre community and following the work of actors and writers I admire. I’m a big reader, too.
I admire Brad Pitt, honestly, just because of how he started and the obstacles he had to overcome to have the career that he’s had.
I tend to admire dead people more than the living. All too often, human reality diminishes the glowing reputation.
The leaders who we admire who have been able to bring great change in the past – Gandhi, Martin Luther King, Nelson Mandela – they’re all inspirational religious leaders and smart tacticians. It would be nice to find the Muslim Gandhi, wouldn’t it?
I was named after the great emperor Cyrus as my father, Farokh Broacha, was a great admirer of the Persian emperor. Continuing the tradition, I have named my son after Mikhail Gorbachev, someone whom I admire. He gave his people freedom.
It seems obvious to say, but I really admire the creative sides of Steve Jobs.
I like to get suggestions on what to read. I’ll look at Twitter, people I like, people I admire… I’ll go and research the book, download it on my phone and read it while I’m on the road.
