People talk to me about celebrities all the time and which ones do I admire, and it’s so hard because you can’t tell who’s doing it for themselves and who hired a stylist.
I admire an actor that can do a lot with doing nothing really, for the most part. I like doing a lot by doing so little.
In God, the characteristics of men and women that we admire in men and women are combined. That’s been a traditional Catholic teaching that God is the combination of opposites.
The machine of awards season is very stressful. But this is the Oscars! It’s your peers, your heroes, people you admire, the people who inspired you to get into this work in the first place. It’s a pretty overwhelming feeling when you think about it.
I know what it’s like to meet someone you admire and have them be a complete jerk.
Of course ‘we humans’ have a funny relationship with the beings with whom we share our planet. We eat them, we care for them, we admire them, we use them.
From a very early age, I made my decisions based on careers that I admire. The one thing that all the actresses I love have in common is that they have diversity in their careers.
I really admire the fact that whenever Marc Singer gets a call from someone running late, he says he’s running late, too. I don’t admit that even when it’s true. Small, unnoticeable acts of generosity are sometimes the most impressive.
I admire many actors, though I don’t think there’s anyone whose career I would want to mirror sort of by the beats. What I’m really looking to do is constantly defy expectations. I’m very curious to see if you can actually have a character actor and a movie star’s career combined.
I started boxing because of my brother. And then I came to admire the all-time greats, like Roberto Duran and Muhammad Ali. I’d say I admired Ali more than any fighter in my life.
The jargon of sculptors is beyond me. I do not know precisely why I admire a green granite female, apparently pregnant monster with one eye going around a square corner.
Even a pacifist should admire the military virtues.
Al Gore’s problem, in my view, is that he never liked politics. He’s actually deeply uncomfortable in it but felt he had to do it because of his father. He’s much more comfortable in a private sector role and has, in fact, been much more successful in a private sector role, and I admire him for that.
I believe in a world where there are no heroes, and I’ve read and know humanity a lot. There are moments that I admire in a person courage, intellect, hard work. These are the qualities I admire in an intellectual, in a writer, and there are so many people who have these things.
I admire the Elsie Tanners and Barbara Windsors of the world: people who have crawled back from the abyss. I’m quite camp in that respect.
I work with people I admire and respect. It’s never because of who they are.
My greatest influence has and always will be my mother. I admire her strength, fearlessness, and optimism.
I want to be very close to someone I respect and admire and have somebody who feels the same way about me.
Many admire, few know.
Being taught to despise your body is being taught to perhaps admire someone else’s body more than yours – being taught that your body is good for certain things and not for others.
I really admire Werner Herzog and Spike Lee. They’re amazing documentarians. If you took away all the narratives, they’d just be amazing documentarians.
One of the things I most admire about America is they have created a genuine melting pot society, a country of opportunity; you can be of any religion, colour, ethnicity, persuasion and make it to the top of your chosen field. And that’s something I admire about America and hope they continue with.
When the suggestion was made that I might consider doing music of Joni Mitchell, I thought it was a fantastic idea. Joni, I admire not only for her music but for her person, because she’s a person that really stands out for what she believes in.
I’m excited about the new judges on ‘American Idol.’ Jennifer Lopez was a real mentor to me my season and I admire her so much. And I kind of have a crush on Steven Tyler. It’s going to be interesting to see is one person going to stand out among the judges or if everyone will sort of be equal.
When I came to the industry, many directors like Krishna Vamsi and Puri Jagannath had encouraged me a lot. Krishna Vamsi is my mentor, and I admire him. That’s why I give chances to new directors.
I admire Gaga. She’s very talented and wise, that girl.
I’ve always looked up to Nicole Kidman. I think she’s an elegant and talented actress. You can tell how much she commits to her characters, and I admire that.

I’m such a comedy fan that I just love laughing and so admire comedians who have brought me joy.
I admire people who operate from a place of love and who have gone through the rigorous process of finding and articulating their purpose, whatever it may be.
It’s really hard for me to be around people I admire.
I really admire Nick Hornby – for example, the way that he can make ordinary stuff so beautiful!
There are some tremendous actors in the U.K. who have been knighted, and I’ve spent much of my life admiring many of them, like Laurence Olivier. So it’s very flattering to be in their company. But you also end up in the company of people you don’t admire, including some rather dodgy politicians.
Our first visit to the Creature Shop is one of the days I will never, ever forget. There was just so much to see and admire and be gobsmacked by.
I wish I was a more religious person. I really admire Martin Sheen for his Catholicism. It’s such a bedrock. I wish I had that in my life.
The whole idea of a festival to me is that filmmakers get to interact. You see someone strolling, you get to meet them and tell them you like their work, you admire their story.
I think it is perfectly natural for any artist to admire intensely and love a young man. It is an incident in the life of almost every artist.
Following in the footsteps of Berry Gordy, I always admire what he did.
I really admire actresses like Meryl Streep; I would love to have a career like hers.
Acting on TV is ruled out. I admire those who do it, but I found it quite strenuous.
I respect and admire the Mormon faith. And I am eternally grateful that we live in a country where we have the freedom to worship as we choose.
I actually admire some of the books by a lot of the writers who write magic realism very much, but it’s not for me. It’s not what I can do, but even if I could, I don’t really want to try.
The actors I admire, like Ben Kingsley or Daniel Day-Lewis, they totally reinvent themselves in every part. I hope I get a chance to do that.
I picked up some wonderful things just listening to other pianists that I appreciate, and that would be Herbie Hancock, Oscar Peterson, Vladimir Horowitz, and Art Tatum. Those are the pianists I really enjoy and admire.
I couldn’t recommend more that people put themselves in a situation where they can see a lot of work that they admire, and for free.
Whatever you do for the sole purpose of having others admire you, your efforts will most likely be in vain.
You’ve got to admire Sir Richard Branson. He is a completely different style of businessman to me, but you have got to admire what he has achieved.
There were a few models who used to stay close to my building. I used to admire them and tell my friends that I did. Those models told me get into modeling.
I admire Arsenal and the philosophy that the young players have. Liverpool, with their Spanish players, they also have an incredible squad. And Manchester United and Chelsea are teams that are very big, like Real Madrid and Barcelona, with money and incredible players.
I admire American ideas.
Being editor of ‘Slate’ is the best job I’ve ever had because of the freedom and support given to me by Don Graham and the Post Co. and because of the opportunity to work with colleagues I admire and adore.

I really looked up to Tina Fey as a writer, and because I did have a background in writing, she is someone whose career I really did admire.
Real novelists, those we admire, those we consider timeless in their language and character and scene, those who receive accolades for inventive language and form, have writing lives we imagine in specific ways.
There are many actors I really like and whose work I admire.
People don’t realize this, but throughout my career, I grew up patterning my game after Scottie Pippen’s. I admire him for his versatility.
Tom Sleigh’s poetry is hard-earned and well founded. I great admire the way it refuses to cut emotional corners and yet achieves a sense of lyric absolution.
I greatly admire how the essence of Nitesh Tiwari’s films resonate with you long after you’ve left the theatre.
Ditko isn’t a direct influence, but I really admire his work and how his personality always comes through the drawing. There’s a honest and quirky humanity to it, and you always feel the artist behind the comic. That’s really rare.
