In wintertime I like to wear flannel button down pyjamas, and in summer I prefer to wear, well… nothing.
I prefer lump charcoal over briquettes but I do use both for different reasons and different recipes and sometimes I combine them both when I really want the woodsy aroma from the lump charcoal and long, even heat from the briquettes.
Just as most of us prefer to watch a trapeze artist work without a net, we like to be absolutely sure that a virtuoso is giving us our money’s worth, and a seemingly effortless performance, no matter how spectacular it may be, deprives us of that slightly sadistic thrill.
Like many men, I am highly skilled in the art of losing things but prefer to outsource the recovery process.
We tend to prefer candidates that don’t talk about us one way in Scranton and another way in San Francisco.
What I prefer is an audience who listen. And are intelligent. Which I try and assume every audience is. And that if something goes wrong, it’s generally my fault and not theirs.
I prefer being known for my stand-up because I write it. I love being an actor, and saying other people’s words is great. But then, when I do stand-up, I love getting my own point of view out there.
I prefer to break new ground, but it gets harder and harder with the territory that’s already been walked on.
Through the years I’ve found that I prefer live playing to recording. I still do lots of recording – but I treasure the live shows.
Golf seems to be an arduous way to go for a walk. I prefer to take the dog’s out.
I kind of prefer to be sort of ahead of the pack checking things out, priming the canvas, if you will, for the younger guys that are going to come up and try to make their own statements about what they feel and what they have to contribute.
I prefer to make common cause with those whose weapons are guitars, banjos, fiddles and words.
I prefer to play the bad guy – it gives you more freedom as an actor.
I prefer cynical people. Nice guys grow on trees.
Exhort all your household often that all those who serve you shall know to serve God and you, faithfully and painstakingly, and for the will of God to prefer in all things to do your will and pleasure in all things that are not against God.
I wear a lot of boyish stuff, but I prefer to throw a fur coat on top just for the hell of it.
I prefer to think that God is not dead, just drunk.
I went into raw vegan for a while, but I prefer cooked food, the way it smells, the way it feels going through your system.
I prefer to live in the country where it’s quiet. Woody Allen movies there are dubbed into Italian.
Everyone is different, but I’m not standoffish at all. I’m not one of those people who prefer to write a note. I’ll walk right up to you and ask you out! Even if the answer’s no, I’m totally cool with it.
I don’t tweet. I prefer face-to-face communication and sometimes Instagram.
People say that life is the thing, but I prefer reading.
I would much prefer that they take me as I am, that way the experience is genuine between the both of us.
Prefer a loss to a dishonest gain; the one brings pain at the moment, the other for all time.
That’s why I do what I do, and that’s why I wanted to be an actress from the time I was six years old. If I can’t effectively move people, then I would prefer not to do it.
I probably prefer comedy. Why? I’m not sure. I feel like the energy of a comedy is a better fit for me. I try to be a happy guy! It seems that most of my life has the energy more for a comedy than for drama. I’m grateful to do both, but I would have to lean towards the comedy side of acting.
Few people have the wisdom to prefer the criticism that would do them good, to the praise that deceives them.
I prefer to look at a natural woman. A woman should be courageous to become older, not desperate to look younger than her age.
I love TV. I know all the theme songs from the shows I watch. I’m not one of those who’d rather be a movie star. I prefer TV because of the rushed way of working-on a movie set, you sit around and wait and wait to do a scene because they’re adjusting the lights.
I gravitate toward the team thing. I’m not a golfer – I much prefer basketball.
I think we have really integrated well around Manchester. This is the place where we feel at home. We like it here, we love the English way of life and we prefer it much, much more than the south of Europe.
I prefer hanging out with my small group of friends, maybe head to the beach once in three months, pursue my hobbies, and just be happy with the small joys of life.
I’m not a good storyteller – I much prefer to be with people who are chatty, to have the luxury of listening.
I have some women friends but I prefer men. Don’t trust women. There is a built-in competition between women.
I had to accept that I was an alcoholic, that was the main thing. I think you’ve got to. But I try not say that I’m an alcoholic. I prefer to say that it’s a disease I’ve got.
I prefer to be out of the spotlight, to be honest. I’ve always been that kind of personality.
I would prefer to keep my clothes on. Unless there’s a brisk breeze or something, I tend to keep them on.
I prefer to be scared in a way that a 12-year-old would want to be.
I would prefer to be forgotten, then rediscovered in a different age.
I prefer Princess. I would love to be known as a diva later on in life when I’ve had far more experiences.
I much prefer STEAM to STEM. The insertion of the A is arts writ large, and when you learn how to think, that means that you actually need to understand how others have thought before you, how have others made sense of the world.
I don’t really do a big Saturday supper. I prefer entertaining in the daytime.
I prefer leaving things to the market as much as possible.
I prefer winter and fall, when you feel the bone structure of the landscape. Something waits beneath it; the whole story doesn’t show.
I prefer the rather old and battered, things with character, to the brand new.
I prefer working behind the camera.
Chocolate’s okay, but I prefer a really intense fruit taste. You know when a peach is absolutely perfect… it’s sublime. I’d like to capture that and then use it in a dessert.
I much prefer touring to anything else. Studio work is great, and can be hugely satisfying, but live work has the excitement and the lifestyle that I love.
I would always prefer radio or working behind the scenes where I don’t have to be seen. I don’t like how appearance oriented TV is (especially now that I’m middle aged!). But I am developing a show revolving around animal rescue which will hopefully entertain and maybe do a bit of good for the cause as well.
I can make a better living as an actor than I can as a director. Though I certainly would prefer to be directing movies.
I guess I prefer to be quite private. It’s a myth that actors are exhibitionists.
I prefer film to the stage. I always like the rehearsal better than I like performing.
I cannot and do not live in the world of discretion, not as a writer, anyway. I would prefer to, I assure you – it would make life easier. But discretion is, unfortunately, not for novelists.
A lot of people prefer to be alone. They would rather be a palm tree on an island. I don’t get it.
It would be enough for me to have the system of a jury of twelve versus the system of one judge as a basis for preferring the U.S. to the Soviet Union. I would prefer the country you can leave to the country you cannot.
I prefer surveying for a week to spending a week in fashionable society even of the best class.
I prefer to make movies which not only have a message for ‘then’ but a message for ‘now.’
I don’t like these commercial films I do. I’d far prefer to do more artistic films, more cult films.
I would prefer to have a more appealing job. If I could still change careers, I would prefer it. This unfortunate art is made for long beards and ugly faces rather than for a relatively well-endowed woman.
I actually prefer soothing music – and maybe that’s the skater in me.
I believe in justice, maybe not in this life, but there has to be justice. And if there isn’t a God, I think it would be very depressing. I’d prefer to believe there is.
It is not contrary to reason to prefer the destruction of the whole world to the scratching of my finger.
I think he is an entertainer. I would prefer if he were a performer.
I prefer old-world wines like Lafite Rothschild and Margaux.
I prefer not to fly, but sometimes it’s unavoidable.
I prefer being penetrated by iron to seeing Palestine is loose.
I tour more than I need to, more than is good for you. But it’s my favorite part of music. I much prefer it to studio work.
I eat healthily because that’s the way I prefer to eat, and I’m sure it helps keep the weight off.
These maxims and the art of interpreting them may be said to constitute the premisses of science but I prefer to call them our scientific beliefs. These premisses or beliefs are embodied in a tradition, the tradition of science.
To prefer evil to good is not in human nature; and when a man is compelled to choose one of two evils, no one will choose the greater when he might have the less.
