I was the class clown in high school, but I always took it too far, so nobody liked me. I was annoying. Like, I would get a laugh and then keep going and keep going.
Things are forgotten and then perhaps picked up again, if we’re lucky, it lasts… if not, then it’s in the lap of the gods. The important thing was to do some work that I liked and hopefully that some others might also like, whether for a minute, a week, a month, a year.
One thing I really liked about David Winfield, man, just… the way he played the game, and such a class act he was on and off the field.
George Roy Hill, Redford, and I have been looking for a script to do together for 13 years. We haven’t been able to find one that we liked enough for the three of us to be in it together.
I’d always liked to read, but when I picked up books I wasn’t getting the same kind of excitement from them that I was from going out clubbing. I wanted to get the same kind of feel.
When I got into all the grunge stuff, I really liked Hole. I actually saw them in concert when I was a sophomore in high school. It was kind of rare to see a successful female rocker get down and dirty with the guys. And Courtney Love did. It was fun to be a fan of something different.
I always liked circuses, so I would have enjoyed that.
When I was a very young kid, the first music that really turned me on was a new wave of British heavy metal – big, dumb rock music. There was a band called Diamond Head – they were basically the band that inspired Metallica. But I also liked bands like Saxon and Iron Maiden.
My mother never breast fed me, she told me she only liked me as a friend.
I always liked strange characters.
I never liked horror up until I was like 10 years old.
I think if you’re too concerned with being cool or hip or liked, you can’t really make good TV because sincerity and coolness are opposites.
I always liked serve-and-volley players and big athletes.
I liked the koala, wallaby, and I chilled with a kangaroo a bit. There was a wombat that I quite enjoyed also.
I don’t think my parents liked me. They put a live teddy bear in my crib.
My father was a man who didn’t consider himself learned. He was a man who liked to be a farmer. He enjoyed his dairy farm and felt the calling. So there was a dedication. I was dedicated as a child to the service of God, and so there was this continual centering of a greater purpose than your own.
In the past I’ve made movies that were pretty universally liked. You can’t really hate them. You can discard them, but you can’t really hate them.
We do this for the art, not the adulation. I’d rather our music get liked and we get ignored. I don’t want to be adored for anything other than the music.
I liked myself better when I wasn’t me.
I love classical music, but I hated classical guitar. But I like flamenco, because there was something else there going on. It wasn’t just the notes being thrown at you. And there were certain kinds of jazz that I really liked and other kinds that just went right over my head.
I was always drawn to tough girls. I liked that domineering thing.
Seven years I worked in landscaping. It was a good job, I don’t complain. I liked going out to different houses every day, traveling.
Orchestra had a little brass ensemble on two tracks as well, but the rest was me. I knew I couldn’t continue in this direction, even if people liked it, because I can only duplicate myself.
Stylistically, though, I’ve always liked Carlos Condit, because he at least amounted to at least the level of doing what I do. I mean, but I think he stands a little upright.
No one had ever told me that whites were supposed to sing one kind of music and blacks another – I sang what I liked in the only voice I had.
The reason I took Early Edition – besides the fact that I liked it – was that it enabled me to start a production company in New York City. It’s a low-budget film company to produce and direct movies.
As a kid, I liked the ‘Halloween’ movies and ‘Nightmare On Elm Street’ and all that kind of stuff. But as an adult, I really don’t watch much horror, to be honest.
I really liked it best when I was a nobody.
When I was four, I just wanted to drive, I collected toy cars. Where does that sort of thing come from? In hindsight you go, ‘Oh, liked it because of this.’ Maybe it’s just the wheel.
‘Barney Miller’ was a lot of fun. I’m very fond of Abe Vigoda. Most – a lot of people on that cast – I really liked.
I didn’t realize how much people liked to bash SNL until I was on. I’ve always just liked it, and I’ve always watched it and been into it.
Somebody gave me this drum machine and somebody else asked me to program something for a project. I really liked programming and I was really interested in using the drum machine.
All my way through college, I worked my way as a window dresser for Lord & Taylor, so I always liked fashion. I always loved fashion and I love that we can do it and not take it seriously.
Every musician liked Peggy Lee, but not the general public.
Walt had a marvelous intuition. And because he understood people very well, liked them and had great respect for people, there was nothing cynical about Walt.
I hope that people like us next year like they liked us last year.
I have met a few Casanovas I like and a few I have not liked – and I hope to meet a few more.
I liked singing, but I didn’t like all the politics and nonsense that went with it.
I’ve always liked new writing.
Ever since I was little, I’ve always liked to smash things.
I started out as a football player. I liked to inflict pain. In basketball, it was the same thing.
I found Mick Jagger… very bright. I always liked him very much and still do.
My mom decorated with lots of antiques. I never liked it when I was a little girl – I wanted to live in a modern house. But now I love it.
I’ve always liked to dress up. I’d choose a halter top over a Led Zeppelin T-shirt when I was in high school.
Both parents were very encouraging – especially my father. My father thought the sun rose and set with me. Neither one had a musical background or any musical talent. They liked classical music, but neither could carry a tune.
I don’t like music that much… I put on the TV. But I often play things like fast-tempo disco or Queen. I’ve liked those since way back when.
I’ve never had a relationship with a record executive. I always went to the record company by someone that liked my playing. Then they would get fired, and I’d be left with the record company. And then – because they got fired – the record company wouldn’t do anything for me.
I have always had sympathy for Atletico Madrid because, among other things, I have friends there, and my father always liked Atletico.
You can inspire the world. Or you can be liked by all. You don’t get to do both.
I’ve always liked Dennis Chambers, he’s real flashy.
I’ve never particularly liked bankers.
Facebook is uniquely positioned to answer questions that people have, like, what sushi restaurants have my friends gone to in New York lately and liked? These are queries you could potentially do with Facebook that you couldn’t do with anything else, we just have to do it.
Even as a child, Muhammad Ali got perverse pleasure out of being different. He liked the attention it got him, but most of all he just liked being himself: odd and independent.
Yes the moustache appeared for the first time about 10 years ago and it was grown as a joke of course but I discovered I quite liked it. I preferred it and my wife prefers it. I got married in it and she wont come near me when Im clean shaven.
I was a very good student. Procrastinating gives me anxiety, and getting a B really ticked me off. Sure, I didn’t always want to do my homework, but I actually really liked school. As nerdy as it sounds, I love learning.
I liked the so-called Volcker Rule. I would have separated investment banking and commercial, deposit banking, as we did under the Glass-Steagal Act. I would have brought back Glass-Steagal.
Maurice was a silly man. Maurice liked being silly.
Everyone liked me when I went up on the stage at a talent search in elementary school, and that’s when I decided to become a music artist.
I liked St. Louis, when they were in the American League, because that was going home. I had all my family and friends there.
I also have always liked the monster within idea. I like the zombies being us. Zombies are the blue-collar monsters.
My parents put skates on me at age 2, the way it should be if you’re serious, and I’ve always liked it.
I liked the idea of all of humanity fitting inside a sugar cube because more than 99.9% of matter is space.
I’ve had mentors who were kind of the troubadour singer-songwriters, like Merle Haggard, Loretta Lynn, Joni Mitchell, Bob Dylan and Neil Young, and that’s just what I’ve always liked – people who would talk real honestly about their lives and their circumstance.
I also found child’s play – stuff that was not considered serious, but goofy – was the stuff I liked to do, so I still do it as an adult.
I’ve always liked shape-shifter characters. I gravitated towards characters like Mystique from ‘X-Men,’ Zam Wesell from ‘Star Wars,’ and Tonks from ‘Harry Potter.’
