People see that I have my own voice, my own opinion, my own likes. The album really reflects that.
You can’t simplify my taste and say, ‘Parker likes big wines,’ because it’s just not true.
One likes people much better when they’re battered down by a prodigious siege of misfortune than when they triumph.
The only rule I have in how I let characters tell stories is that they must always tell the reader their version of the truth. No one likes being outright lied to, even in fiction.
I’m a baseball player who likes to enjoy himself and leave everything to God. He knows what’ll happen.
I’m an economic human without any likes or dislikes!
As a man gets older, if he knows what is good for him, the women he likes are getting older too. The trouble is that most of them are married.
No one likes to feel helpless. We find it psychologically unbearable and inside ourselves we may try to make ourselves part author of our misfortune rather than simply the recipient of it.
I hope they get something of interest out of it, but I’d rather they all hate it and I like it, instead of vice versa… I make films to please myself first, and if the audience likes them, all the better.
Lately, I’ve been getting too much attention with the Met Gala and work going so well that I try to find rejection in my day. I’ll seek out someone on the street or at the farmers’ market and ask for something where I know they’ll say no. No one likes rejection, but it’s real. And I don’t want to lose that feeling.
Fashion can be a very fickle lady, especially when it comes to models – fashion likes to turn on its own.
Everyone likes to strike while the iron is hot. That’s a philosophy I’ve always liked.
America is exceptional: but because it yields the likes of Obama, not the likes of Bush.
Every child is so different. Their experience growing up and their experience relating to the world has so much to do with their temperament, and their likes and their dislikes.
Mum had done everything you need to educate a kid. She made me a kid who likes books and she told me about ‘Wind in the Willows’ and read it and I thought this is weird, Rat, Mole, Toad and my first ever Bolshie thought – you know about ‘The Wind in the Willows.’
Our audience is really upbeat. Likes to have a good time. They’re not introverted or shy.
We don’t make movies for critics. I’ve done four movies; there’s millions upon millions upon millions of people who’ve paid to see them. Somebody likes them. My greatest joy is to sit anonymously in a dark theater and watch it with an audience, a paying audience.
Once you find out that someone likes a certain game on Facebook, now you know what kind of virtual gift you can get them. You can send them a little decoration. Social games give you goals where you can help and reward your friends.
I’ve always been a guy who likes to stretch my limits – to find out if I have any, really.
I know that Liz Meriwether likes to keep things as honest and complicated as life can be, which is really fun for all of us.
I remember meeting the likes of Johnny Carson and Jimmy Stewart for the first time and being completely starstruck.
I’m always trying to figure out what my taste is, what my likes and dislikes are.
Of the thousands of people, celebrated and unknown, who have sat before my camera, I am often asked who was the most difficult subject, or the easiest, or which picture is my favorite. This last question is like asking a mother which child she likes the most.
You go to a Japanese restaurant and have a wonderful dish, and the thing to do is take a picture with your phone, put it on Facebook, and see how many likes you get. If you don’t share your experiences, they don’t become part of the data processing system, and they have no meaning.
A person might see that I’ve blurbed a certain book and decide they want nothing to do with it! Like, ‘If that reprobate Toews likes it, forget it!’ So, it’s a crapshoot. But it feels good to be able to praise a book that I love or that has been written by a new writer.
Life likes jokes; life is constantly making jokes, even at the most inopportune moments.
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid likes to reminisce about being an amateur boxer. But his Senate tenure has often looked like an endless rope-a-dope.
I’m an actor, in particular, that likes to have a mask or something that can help me distance myself from the character. Like the moustache or an accent.
If we enter into the kind of world that Google likes, the world that Google wants, it’s a world where information is copied so much on the Internet that nobody knows where it came from anymore, so there can’t be any rights of authorship.
We say, ‘You may drink at the age of 21 but not at the age of 20.’ Why? Because humans like to create terribly neat categories out of nature because it allows us a nice, tight social organization. The truth is, nature doesn’t care that we like nice, neat social organizations. Nature likes variety.
I have never met anybody who likes ‘The Detectorists’ that I don’t like.
Hollywood is the kind of town that likes to make everything larger than life: movie premieres, aging actress’ lips, and murders. Actors come from all over the world to find their sliver of fame on the street of L.A. Many stars rise, but many more fall.
I was one of the original drummers. What everyone likes to do is think of Lynyrd Skynyrd as the band that picked up again in ’73. But I was one of the original members, and I was a big part of that.
Everybody likes money. I like money. I need money to survive. But I don’t love money. Money is not my god.
What I really enjoy the most is seeing what the crowd likes. I enjoy making people laugh.
Trudeau claims he’s wary about Chinese espionage, but also says there’s nothing wrong with Chinese state-owned enterprises buying up as much of Canada’s resource sector as it likes.
A part of me likes to pretty up feelings that aren’t so pretty.
Maybe strong leaders are not quite as alluring as we think, and we should celebrate the fact that our leaders are just like us. Just because one candidate can’t remember his whole speech and the other likes to put his feet up on the job doesn’t mean they can’t govern.
Kennedy said that if we had nuclear war we’d kill 300 million people in the first hour. McNamara, who is a good businessman and likes to save, says it would be only 200 million.
Actually, I think it’s interesting that when I put the weight on, I was already with him. I don’t know, maybe I felt safe. And he likes me like this. He likes me whatever size I am.
In some ways, it’s better that Obama got elected than McCain. I’d rather be stabbed in the chest with an Obama steak knife than to have been slowly bled to death with McCain paper cuts. Say what you will, but Obama has brought about a patriotic and civic renaissance, the likes of which I have never seen.
Man only likes to count his troubles, but he does not count his joys.
My opinion, having done this now for two cycles, is I think the national media really likes me and likes what I have to say. But, at the end of the day, ‘He’s a Libertarian,’ and that denotes some loose screws, maybe.
In a great romance, each person basically plays a part that the other really likes.
I like to make my husband like me more, and he likes it when I’m wearing makeup.
Believe me, nobody likes to loaf more than me.
Hollywood always likes to create a star.
My daughter is the most normal towards me. For her, I am just her mom. I am just a regular mom, and the actor comes after that. If she likes something that I am wearing, she tells me, and if she doesn’t, she still makes it a point to let me know.
While you are improvising, you need to be prepared, and I like to have a sense of who the character is, what she likes to read, where she grew up, where we went to school, and what she has for breakfast, so that when I go to set, I’m free to explore.
I was something that is always hated in Hollywood – a perfectionist; nobody likes a perfectionist, you know.
The guy I played in ‘The Xpose’ is more like a spoiled brat who likes to have his way than a villain. No more negative roles after ‘The Xpose’ for me. I’ve enough problems dealing with the negative image I’ve been saddled with in some sections.
Our species likes being social.
If you’re an investor who wants a little bit more from the capital-appreciation side of things, but still likes this concept of getting ‘paid by the company,’ then we would tell that investor to pursue shareholder yield.
Everybody likes driving through scenic, winding roads. It’s hard to find people who like sitting in traffic in cities.
They’ve got a great tool in the Internet. If you’ve really got a good movement, you can see who likes you.
It might sound strange now from where I’m standing as a world boxing champion, but I harboured serious thoughts, at the age of nine, of putting my whole life into snooker. I remember being fascinated by the game, watching the likes of Steve Davis, and thought I would do it.
The reason that everybody likes planning is that nobody has to do anything.
I usually get myself into situations that cause sparks. I mean I’m a girl that likes the storms. I love feeling alive, I love walking out in the cold in my bare feet and feeling the ice on my toes.
