If you ask people what attracted them to the person they love, they never tell you of some perfect feature that focused them on sheer surfaces but rather an imperfection that allowed them to see into their uncharted depths.
I love unisex perfumes because men don’t realize they’re attracted to the way that other men smell. I’m like, ‘I smell like a dude right now, and you don’t even know!’
An artist is attracted to certain kinds of form without knowing why. You adopt a position intuitively; only later do you attempt to rationalize or even justify it.
In terms of ‘American Horror Story’ and ‘Nashville,’ what attracted me to those, and ‘Friday Night Lights,’ for that matter, is that they felt like something innovative and something that we hadn’t seen before. As an actor, that’s exciting.
That, to me, is the core of fantasy – real people in a crazy environment, dealing with crazy problems. That’s what I think the books of ‘The Witcher’ did really well, and it’s what attracted me to them, in the first place.
What attracted us and allured us to Old Trafford are all the great things, all the great history, and all the great heritage. People keep saying ‘what are you going to change?’ And the thing I keep saying is people aren’t going to notice a change.
I get attracted to different things. I have a different take on everything. I like to do different things. I don’t like the regular stuff.
Cincinnati attracted its first permanent white settlers by flatboat in 1788. It took its name from the Society of Cincinnati, an organization of Revolutionary officers. That name came from Cincinnatus, the Roman farmer and general.
I’ve always been attracted to the ‘don’t follow the rules’ type of girl, the rocker girl. I’ve always been attracted to somebody who you can lose yourself in the moment with. You can hang out with her, and it’s like you’re the only two people in the room.
To feel nervous; to feel threatened and vulnerable and alive and engaged in that sense when interacting with someone you’re really attracted to? I think that’s wonderful. That’s usually the best part. In fact, it’s almost always downhill from there.
I think I’m attracted to writers who tell us something about ourselves.
I am attracted to the complexities and deeper truths of characters, and I can’t name a favourite role any more than I can name a favourite food!
I think there’s a quality of passion to the American actor. I’m certainly attracted to it, and I like to hope that underscoring it is a characteristic of my work. That quality is certainly also present in some British actors, but I tend to feel the mechanical and intellectual process is dominant in the British.
So I think rather than being attracted so much now to working with my heroes, I’m sort of more attracted to working with completely unlikely strangers because it’s more exciting really.
The fact is that people are attracted to new work and by new work.
I’m attracted to roles that are unpredictable, and if I can get my hands on something like that, I’m thrilled. I like performances where you don’t know what’s coming, moment to moment.
The thing that attracted me the most was comedy acting and people like Catherine Tate and Olivia Colman; people doing funny voices and accents.
It is important that those that do come to settle in the U.K. gain a sense of British identity and share British values. We have always attracted the best and brightest.
Woody Allen’s sense of humour has always attracted me, and I love the way he can make life so meaningful and yet show us what a farce it can be at the same time.
I’m attracted to stories that excite my imagination, stories that, as I’m reading the script, I feel it, I can see it, I can hear the characters. I’m attracted to characters that are real, that tap into something inside me that I haven’t explored yet.
What kind of woman am I attracted to? Really? Can I just say I like what most human beings want?
It was this society and culture that among other things – including economic opportunities here and repression in Europe – attracted subsequent generations of immigrants to this country.
Not only am I physically and emotionally attracted to women, I also wonder what being a woman would be like.
I would try to write ‘realistic’ fiction, and someone would fly, or there would be a black hole full of demons or a girl who attracted frogs.
What I like about pop music, and why I’m still attracted to it, is that in the end it becomes our folk music.
I’m in the business to push it. I’m not likely to be attracted to characters I’ve already done.

‘Let the Bullets Fly’ indeed attracted an audience, but how it did this is also a question for me.
I’m attracted to things that make a point or have a certain point of view, but it’s not a conscious thing that I decide to do every morning. Unconsciously, what I like has a social commentary in it, or it’s about race, or it’s risky to do. That’s what I like doing.
I love acting because you don’t have to do the same thing over and over again, every day, and that’s what attracted me to wanting to do this for a living. So to be given an opportunity to create something completely different and live that out is the dream. It’s incredibly rewarding.
Beijing was such a different city. There were so few cars, I could walk in the middle of the road. In the summer, the streetlamps attracted swirling bugs. I loved those bugs: crickets, praying mantis, all kinds of beetles. I also have a vivid memory of dazzling sunlight coming out of the sky.
Look, you’re on the set for six months, with someone who’s rooting to be attracted to you, and you’re rooting to be attracted to them. I never understood the separation of work and life in that situation. But the time I spent with Megan was our own thing.
I think that gay men in particular need to just listen to bisexual people and believe them when they say they’re attracted to different genders.
At least in part, people are attracted to subjects where they can identify at a basic level with the people who do it. The extraordinary aesthetic of the natural world is not obvious to someone who never leaves the inner city. Appreciation of the elegance and power of physical law is an acquired taste.
Because I had a lot of emotional upheaval in my life, I’m attracted to stories about characters whose lives are full of wounds and secrets. I’m not interested in who’s going to ask me to the prom. I never went to a prom.
I got a young black woman agent, and she kinda just knew what I would be attracted to. She sent me this pilot for ‘Insecure.’ I never saw myself as a comedy director, but when I read those pages, I said, ‘Wow – this is my life on the page.’
The best thing about the Kentucky Derby is that it is only two minutes long. It is the quickest event in sports, except for Sumo-wrestling & Mike Tyson fights. Maybe Drag-racing is quicker, but I have never been attracted to it.
A lot of what attracted people to Nirvana was that they were like the people you went to high school with.
After college, I did a bunch of different jobs – taught English in Mexico, worked in public radio, worked for a web design company – but there was something about documentaries that really attracted me.

Whenever you have chemistry on-screen, then you have to be very attracted to the person.
I’ve spent a lot of years confused. Am I straight? Am I bi? Is there something wrong with me that I’m not attracted to girls? Everyone’s always expecting me to be gay. I’m like, ‘No, I love men.’
Chefs become attracted to being able to get product and then clientele – those are the two things that attract you as a chef.
I’m interested in extrovert characters, people who are doing something. But I used to only be able to photograph people I was interested in or attracted to, either psychologically or physically. That all changed when I did the ‘Go Sees.’
I’m more of a tough girl, and I’m attracted to things that reflect that in my perfumes. That means sandalwood, musk, amber, and vanilla notes.
I’m attracted to wilderness in any sense. Which is why I’m attracted to New York in a way, because I feel like it’s a wilderness of people and textures. Just like, there’s so much life and richness here. And you can get lost in it.
I think the cruise industry has come of age. And older people my age are attracted to the cruise ship industry. And they are booming right now, and all over the world they are booming. And I think they’re for the golden oldies, and there are more and more of them around.
Hollywood’s a big place, and they make all sorts of different movies. Some movies I’m attracted to; a lot of the movies I’m not. But there are some terrifically talented people over there that I’d love to work with.
I’m definitely attracted to the idea of people that have these big aspirations that the audience know might never happen, but they’re lost in them.
We have two kids, so it’s a busy house. I want a place where the kids feel comfortable and like they can really live. I’m attracted to clean and modern but also feeling like you can plop yourself onto a couch and cuddle up.
