Nobody likes to be found out, not even one who has made ruthless confession a part of his profession. Any autobiographer, therefore, at least between the lines, spars with his reader and potential judge.
It’s one thing to hear that someone likes your show; it’s a completely different thing to have them come take their time and film something with you on a sidewalk.
Writers have opinions – that, in part, is why they write. Therefore they have strong likes and dislikes.
I’m a conservative who likes small government and lower taxes.
I’m me: I’m a fun, easy-going guy that likes to work hard, who’s very driven and determined.
I definitely am the sort of person that likes to be constantly learning things.
If there’s anything worse than a woman living alone, it’s a woman saying she likes it.
It’s funny when people say, ‘I don’t think Julia likes me.’ Honey, if I don’t like you, you’re going to know about it.
When an actress is younger, she likes to lower her age, but when she is older, she likes to add to her years.
The pharmaceutical industry likes to depict itself as a research-based industry, as the source of innovative drugs. Nothing could be further from the truth. This is their incredible PR and their nerve.
Certainly Nancy Reagan had an extraordinary effect on her husband. I’m truly not sure that, say, Laura Bush had that much effect on the Bush administration. She certainly, you know, seems to be a nice person who I think the public likes. But I can’t really put my finger on any huge impact she’s had.
Every artist in the world likes his or her work to make people think.
In general, great companies prefer to grow ‘organically,’ as Wall Street likes to say. That is, from the inside out, by finding new markets or by taking market share from their competitors.
It is important that the United States remain a two-party system. I’m a fellow who likes small parties and the Republican Party can’t be too small to suit me.
The thing about my fridge is, it’s a family fridge, so there’s a little of something everybody likes in there.
I’m that sensitive, honest guy who likes people, wants to know why, and who puzzles everyone by continually putting himself in harm’s way.
Everyone likes birds. What wild creature is more accessible to our eyes and ears, as close to us and everyone in the world, as universal as a bird?
If you like a man and he likes you, you should get married as fast as you can. Otherwise, you both are going to change your minds. There’s plenty of time for that after marriage.
I think everyone likes to see somebody achieve their goals.
When you get into a car, and there’s trash, or it’s dirty, or one of the hubcaps is off, you’re like, ‘Come on, dude.’ Every woman likes the confidence and self-respect that says, ‘I get oil changes. I look after my vehicle.’ That’s what I recommend: Act like you don’t care, but take care of your body.
I was an athlete in college, and Wall Street likes athletes because they’re very competitive people that are willing to do anything to win. So I got a job at Bear Stearns in the summer of 2007.
Balance in life is the key, as Aristotle taught us. Nobody likes a naive Pollyanna, but neither do we like to be around people who are constantly complaining and finding fault.
Everybody likes the underdog, because everybody feels like the underdog. No matter how successful you are, you always think, ‘No one’s being nice enough to me!’
I’m a big fish eater. Salmon – I love salmon. My sister loves Chinese food and sushi and all that. I’m not as big of a fan, but she likes it so we eat it a lot. So I’m beginning to like it more. I don’t like the raw sushi. I liked the cooked crab and lobster and everything.
This story’s gonna grab people. It’s about this guy, he’s crazy about this girl, but he likes to wear dresses. Should he tell her? Should he not tell her? He’s torn, Georgie. This is drama.
A lady likes to be complimented on her looks, her eyes, her figure. But the personality comments are much appreciated.
And my daughter really likes Justin Bieber, so I think she’ll have fun watching him. But I think Rihanna is the perfect match for the Victoria’s Secret show because she’s really beautiful, she’s really sexy, and she’s really talented.
Maybe we should shut Wall Street down for 24 hours, see how everybody who blames Wall Street for everything likes that. Maybe we should shut energy down for 24 hours, see how people like that.
Being put in a group, I hate that. I don’t think anyone likes it. Everyone just wants to be their own person.
Nobody likes having salt rubbed into their wounds, even if it is the salt of the earth.
If I think of a reader while I am writing, the only reader who really matters for me is my wife. It’s most important to me that she likes what I write.
My wife likes history and documentaries, but I’m not so keen on them. I generally go and do some work if there’s one of those on.
I’m somebody who likes to gravitate toward people who aren’t necessarily famous.
My dog Tucker likes to walk late at night because it is a good way to keep me awake. Apparently, the one time I took him for a stroll around midnight represented, to him, a commitment similar to marriage.
No one likes someone who’s really overconfident.
The creator of the universe works in mysterious ways. But he uses a base ten counting system and likes round numbers.
Everyone likes a bit of variety. I’m sure none of my readers only want to read about anti-heroes or villainous protagonists any more than they only want to read about square-jawed heroes doing the right thing. I just write characters than entertain me and hope they’ll be ones that other people want to read about, too.
I love all insider memoirs. It doesn’t matter whether it’s truck-drivers or doctors. I think everybody likes to go backstage, find out what people think and what they talk about and what specialised job they have.
Now, I think perhaps I got it wrong over Prince Philip. I think he loves pretty women, and he likes flirting, but I’m not sure how important actual sex is to him, put it that way.
My mum is very driven and has always kept me busy… She used to say to me, ‘Nobody likes a teenager. So use your teenage years to work. Then enjoy your life when you’re slightly older.’
I guess lyrically they’re similar because they’re talking about escaping the kind of misery that likes company. ‘The Last One Alive,’ for me, is very simple. It’s just about alienation, really, that causes anger.
I’m a guy who likes to keep fighting five, six times a year, so if I ask for too much money, they might say, ‘Well, we pay you too much. We can’t let you keep jumping backwards and forwards and promote it.’ The money I’m making is good to keep grabbing short-notice fights. I love them; they’re my favorite ones.
Bad faith likes discourse on friendship and loyalty.
Any lady who is first lady likes being first lady. I don’t care what they say, they like it.
The phenomenon of vampires has always appealed to me. Everyone kind of likes a vampire story because it almost could be true.
There is power in naming racism for what it is, in shining a bright light on it, brighter than any torch or flashlight. A thing as simple as naming it allows us to root it out of the darkness and hushed conversation where it likes to breed like roaches. It makes us acknowledge it. Confront it.
I’m a person who likes to hang out. I would never go on a blind date. That sounds like the most uncomfortable thing on the planet earth. It’s like, ‘Hi. Nice to meet you. So, what kind of music do you like?’ Date ended.
Be it a musician or an artiste, everybody likes to be in their comfort zone because that’s where you are most happy.
The human heart likes a little disorder in its geometry.
I don’t know if the camera likes me, but I do like the camera.
Sometimes Congress likes to milk an issue.
I’m by nature someone that quite likes to understand how things are working, likes some sense of structure, and I’ve fallen into the worst possible trade for that.
I’m a happy man, because I am successful in what I do, of course; but what makes me most happy is I have people around me that I love and who love me back. This, for me, is the most important thing. Nobody likes to be alone.
I feel like Hollywood likes to use gay people to tell either really sad gay stories starring straight actors, or everything’s about a struggle. Everything’s about coming out. Nothing was about just living and breathing as a human being who happens to be gay.
A woman’s whole life is spent making chicken curry while her husband works. Then, any time he likes, he can kick her out.
Whoever likes football always likes to see the best player on the pitch.
Nobody likes a bad sport, no matter what the circumstances are.
I like fantasy. I’ve always been the kind of kid who likes to dream about other things I could be and exotic situations I could be in.
John Kerry wants to be the hero in his own drama. He likes King Arthur and the Round Table. He likes the young swashbuckling Churchill, and he loved the early antics of Theodore Roosevelt.
I like to play the grey areas in life – that’s the most uncomfortable place to be. Nobody likes to be in that in-between state where there don’t know what’s going to happen. There’s a lot of tension in that, and a lot of stuff to play with – where it’s uncomfortable and awkward and sad and scary.
