It’s true that I’m drawn to unusual stories. Normal roles don’t really attract me.
I was always drawn to tough girls. I liked that domineering thing.
I’m drawn to furniture design as complete architecture on a minor scale.
Natural selection shaped the human brain to be drawn toward aspects of nature that enhance our survival and reproduction, like verdant landscapes and docile creatures. There is no payoff to getting the warm fuzzies in the presence of rats, snakes, mosquitoes, cockroaches, herpes simplex and the rabies virus.
We’re sometimes treated like the stupid cousin, so I’m always drawn to characters that make you feel good about being Welsh.
I look for material that both interest me and challenges me. If I am drawn to the material and I have to work hard at it, the characters and the plots reflect the hours and hours of research.
I like hearing the sort of harmonies people get into in different parts of the world. I love music that has a sense of allure to it, and exotic tunes. That’s what I’m drawn to.
Mediaeval mythology, rich and gorgeous, is a compound like Corinthian brass, into which many pure ores have been fused, or it is a full turbid river drawn from numerous feeders, which had their sources in remote climes.
I have been drawn to stories that are attempting to turn suffering into beauty.
I’m always drawn to stories about characters who are somewhat isolated inside themselves by their inability to communicate in some way. That’s what interested me about ‘Children of a Lesser God.’
But in my heart of hearts, this is the kind of thing… this is what everyone is struggling with in their lives – relationships and family. To me, it’s always an interesting area to mine. I’m drawn to it.
Modern science says: ‘The sun is the past, the earth is the present, the moon is the future.’ From an incandescent mass we have originated, and into a frozen mass we shall turn. Merciless is the law of nature, and rapidly and irresistibly we are drawn to our doom.
So much of my work is about children and/or parenting; it’s something I’m drawn to without being able to completely articulate why.
I seem to be drawn to these smaller forms, and I seem to be drawn to things that can be written and also read in one sitting.
I was not a punk rocker, absolutely not, but I certainly knew quite a lot of them, and I definitely went to the Mab – it was raw, interesting intense scene, so I was very drawn to it, but I was a total outsider.
In my 20s and early 30s, I was drawn to scripts that had memorable dialogues and some kind of lingering message.
As I read more and more fairy tales as an adult, I found massive collusion between their ‘subjects’ and those in my fiction: childhood, nature, sexuality, transformation. I realized that it wasn’t by accident that I was drawn to their narrative structure and motifs.
Both the United States and the world economy have already reached – and surpassed – their sustainable physical limits. Ground water is being drawn down, soils eroded, forests cut faster than they grow, fish caught faster than they reproduce, non-renewable fossil fuels burnt without developing substitutes.

I’m drawn to stuff with a certain darkness, and darkness with beauty within it.
The most real characters in a great play are those who are so meticulously drawn that the audience could predict how many pairs of shoes they might have in their closet or how many close friends they had in grade school. Have any of our public figures been as fully developed in the media?
I don’t think an artist should always know why they gravitate toward something or someone. You are just drawn to things, and that’s OK.
I’m very drawn to characters who are very flawed. I’m less interested in characters who are just good or bad, because to me then they’re not real people.
I definitely am drawn to strong females who are successful, smart women because I am a woman like that. I think it’s important to portray those kinds of women on film and television.
Proverbs are short sentences drawn from long experience.
If you walk into the room, and you’re smiling and have a pep in your step, people are going to be drawn to you. If you walk into a room and you’re sad and you look insecure, it’s bad energy.
I’d always loved watching YouTube videos, and that’s what inspired me to make them myself. Initially I was drawn to makeup tutorials – I learned everything I know about makeup from YouTube.
I just don’t have this magnetic personality that everyone is drawn to. I don’t make friends easily… I’m just not one of those people.
I’ve always drawn a lot. I like the idea of turning a 2-D sketch into a 3-D thing very quickly. And clothing is really good for that.
My sensibility is such that I automatically get drawn to films that have a good story, good characterization.
‘The Searcher,’ as the title suggests, is about someone in search of something, and I have always loved quest stories and so was drawn to writing one myself.
I have always been drawn to fashion from an aesthetic and consumer standpoint. I honestly never thought that I could take my business training and apply it here. I worked in retail and was into fashion. It was something I liked, and people trusted my opinion.
Animation is not the art of drawings that move but the art of movements that are drawn.
A line drawn with love can make us as vulnerable as what the line depicts.
I think we are drawn to anti-heroes because that is what most of us are most of the time and it is good to see that we are heroic.

Before I went to work for ‘Playboy,’ I planned to apply to Yale to get a public policy master’s. I felt drawn to go into politics. Even before that, my dream was to wind up either in the Senate or on the Supreme Court. I had big dreams as a little girl.
I was drawn to bakery and pastry. It’s the same discipline you employ in dance – you take the instruction, and you keep on practicing, seeking perfection. You never achieve it, but you strive.
The fascination of somebody with original creative gifts is something that’s always drawn me. I get attached to them, but I can’t call it being in love, because the words are so debased.
Using adult stem cells drawn from bone marrow and umbilical cord blood system cells, scientists have discovered new treatments for scores of diseases and conditions such as Parkinson’s disease, juvenile diabetes, and spinal cord injuries.
I don’t like to rehearse, and the film-makers that I have been drawn to are interested in provoking something between people rather than nailing a scene in advance.
Like a lot of inwardly drawn young people, I spent a lot of time in libraries. At my high school, I often spent my lunch breaks there.
Oddly enough, I’ve always really loved Nightcrawler. You know who else they didn’t use enough was Phoenix. I just thought her story line was so tragic. I was just really drawn to that character as well.
A disaffected America can be drawn into a civilized – but disruptive – dialogue about political change and reformation.
As a young boy, I was very interested – as I still am – in all sorts of adventure and exploration. I thought about being an astronaut, a dinosaur scientist, or marine biologist, but I clearly was drawn to the ocean and to the water.
I think something I’ve been drawn to about the people I work with is that they seem to be – like me – people who are a little insane, and have to make music. It’s not a choice they’re making for the sake of vanity – like it’s cool to be in a band.
While ‘Twilight”s popularity was undeniable among both the teenagers they were aimed at and middle-aged women who flocked to the series in droves, Meyer has drawn her share of criticism for her writing. Some feminist critics assailed what they saw as Bella’s mooning over her vampire lover.
I’ve always been a fan of Nintendo. My first memories of playing games are on my Nintendo 64 with ‘Mario Kart,’ so when I found out that Nintendo 3DS made a fashion game, I was drawn to it. ‘Style Savvy Trendsetters’ is great because anyone can play it.
I want people to be drawn into the space of the work. And a lot of people are like me in that they have relatively short attention spans. So I shoot for the window of opportunity.
I am drawn to humorous art that is ironic.
I’ve seen ‘Lord of the Rings’ and ‘The Hobbit’ about 25 times each, so I like all kinds of movies, but I’m drawn, as an actor, to dramas about humans living lives I can relate to.
I’m drawn to the unconventional because I’ve been drawn unconventionally. I believe that I’m supposed to topple over these false images of what’s idealistically beautiful. Because, of course, these intangible qualities are very attractive to women. Sincerity. Sense of humor. Success.
