I prefer being able to choose who I want to help or what I want to improve in the world by making a lot of money myself rather than just going out there and talking about things. If you have money to do things, it’s much better than just talking about them.
When you can imagine you begin to create and when you begin to create you realize that you can create a world that you prefer to live in, rather than a world that you’re suffering in.
I like to play unattractive people who think they’re pretty. You can do what you want, but I prefer to look interesting.
As a lifelong Oregonian, I prefer our forests green, not black.
Personal questions, or accusations about delivering flops or not doing good films end up being accusatory sessions where I have to defend myself. That’s why I prefer not to do interviews.
Winter sports aren’t my thing. You can have your boards and blades and your glacier-gripping cleats: My feet prefer to negotiate the ground on a pair of dependable soles.
After a great save or a mistake by a defender, I prefer not to shout on him; I prefer to wait and say it inside of the dressing room. I was always like that. I am relaxed, I try to be normal after a mistake, and when I make a mistake, I don’t want people coming to me on the pitch shouting at me.
I guess I do prefer a ball cap. I have performed without a cap, mostly at funerals and weddings.
To want fame is to prefer dying scorned than forgotten.
At the root of the shy temperament is a deep fear of social judgment, one so severe it can sometimes be crippling. Introverted people don’t worry unduly about whether they’ll be found wanting, they just find too much socializing exhausting and would prefer either to be alone or in the company of a select few people.
It’s not that I find it hard to meet girls – they do come up and chat me up from time to time. Sometimes I’m interested, I tend not to go for the prettier ones. I prefer the quirkier types.
I would infinitely prefer a daughter.
I enjoy writing but I much prefer the experience of having written.
Who am I, really? I prefer to leave that up to the observer, because I will never finish answering that.
I don’t really go out at night in terms of noisy, busy places; I prefer more of a quiet corner somewhere.
I prefer to be true to myself, even at the hazard of incurring the ridicule of others, rather than to be false, and to incur my own abhorrence.
I guess many game music fans prefer original soundtrack albums.
My process is to be by myself when I record. It’s quite an emotional performance to pull off when someone else is in the room. I prefer to go away and have my own time with it, bring it in later.
I love having a lot of content. I prefer to have constant stimulation.
Never speak to an invalid from behind, nor from the door, nor from any distance from him, nor when he is doing anything. The official politeness of servants in these things is so grateful to invalids, that many prefer, without knowing why, having none but servants about them.
I don’t necessarily prefer playing villains. I know a lot of people say they are more fun, but if the scriptwriter has done their work well, you can find something realistic in a villain and find the mistakes in a hero – it’s all down to the writing.
I feel like I prefer movies, but, at the same time, theater is so exciting when you’re doing it. It’s a harder job doing theater.
People have a hard time letting go of their suffering. Out of a fear of the unknown, they prefer suffering that is familiar.
I’m not one to make calculations, I’m spontaneous and I prefer it that way.
If I must fight, I’ll fight; but I prefer not to spit at my enemy beforehand.
I prefer to sing in the shower ’cause the acoustics are really, really good, I mean, when you’re singing against the tile walls then you really hear yourself, hear your voice, you know, throwing itself back at you.
The value of friends has always been a natural thing. I prefer too many to too few.
You lose attitude when you feel too comfortable, so I prefer to wear clothes that have a certain edge to them.
I can certainly be part of the socialite group and walk those carpets every day, but I choose not to because I prefer to be grounded. You can’t be at home and on the red carpet.
I prefer insomnia to anaesthesia.
‘The Last Ship,’ which is a beautifully written piece, is about a love triangle and young men working in a shipyard. Audiences may prefer to see a show that allows them to forget about their worries for an evening.
Too many films today feel formulaic and familiar. I prefer it when the familiar is made to feel strange.
I’m kind of a dork. I don’t have much game. I’m not particularly comfortable in bars or clubs. I much prefer being home playing Scrabble, having dinner with a couple friends, going to see a movie, or losing a whole weekend to Season 14 of Law and Order or The Simpsons.
Growing old gracefully used to begin at about 35, but today women prefer to ‘stay young gratefully’ with thanks to designers, beauticians and plastic surgeons.
My parents are artists and they decided they would prefer to paint in the Mediterranean rather than in Scotland.
Although I’m predominantly known for game-shows, I do prefer to be known as a performer.
Introverts prefer introversion; we tend to gain energy by reflecting and expend energy when interacting. Extroverts have the opposite preference; they tend to gain energy by interacting and expend energy while reflecting.
I don’t think the rating system places too much pressure on chefs. I prefer to put the pressure on my chefs to perform to the top standards.
I love to try the local food wherever I am. But I’m not that adventurous when it comes to eating. I prefer to be safe. I have failed at eating some daring food.
I’m not a big fan of there being voiceovers in movies. I really prefer it when the film tells it story.
There are many who would much prefer that the word ‘climate’ never be mentioned and that the issue be eliminated from our national conversation.
I prefer being as far from the centre of celebrity as possible.
First and foremost, you have to remember that restaurants are businesses and they have to stay in business. And though everyone thinks they want grass fed beef, most people actually prefer the taste of corn fed – it is less dry, more marbled, and less gamey, not to mention much less expensive than grass fed.
I prefer drawing the things I’ve written to handing them off to another artist. Turns out I’m a huge control freak – and because I write in thumbnails, the art is already happening by the time I start writing!
When more Americans prefer freebies to freedom, these great United States will become a fertile ground for tyranny.
I never wanted to be a bombshell; I wanted to be an actor. I would much prefer to be a woman than a man, but if I was a dude, maybe I’d have Johnny Depp’s island because women in this industry after a certain age definitely don’t get to do ‘Pirates of the Caribbean.’
Through school, I saw plenty of theatre my parents weren’t necessarily up on. They would prefer a football game to watching ‘The Nutcracker,’ and that’s fine. I enjoy both.
I love all animals. I just happen to prefer cats. They’re really chill, and they’re loving yet not loving. I relate to them, in a way.
I prefer the emotion that corrects the rule.
I know nothing about producing TV drama and any involvement on my part is liable to prove an obstacle to the producers, so I prefer to be a cheerleader and let them get on with it.
Cannes is a little bit like French wine. There are certain years that people prefer over others.
I don’t think you could get anything worse than losing a child. I think if my child died, I would prefer it if I were dead.
They’re just actors. I much prefer the real thing!
But as I was saying, from my experiences, I think men tend to be more timid in expressing their feelings for you. Regardless, I always prefer a friendship first and foremost.
Children love and want to be loved and they very much prefer the joy of accomplishment to the triumph of hateful failure. Do not mistake a child for his symptom.
Imagination makes us aware of limitless possibilities. How many of us haven’t pondered the concept of infinity or imagined the possibility of time travel? In one of her poems, Emily Bronte likens imagination to a constant companion, but I prefer to think of it as a built-in entertainment system.
My music has a high irritation factor. I’ve always tried to say something. Eccentric lyrics about eccentric people. Often it was a joke. But I would plead guilty on the grounds that I prefer eccentricity to the bland.
People often ask me whether I prefer theater or film, and the answer is that I prefer the one I’m not doing: The grass is always greener.
I prefer to keep my secrets to myself, to the grave… and beyond!
I do know that you have to choose between the logic of reconciliation and the logic of justice. Pure justice leads to new civil war. I prefer the negotiable revolution.
It is possible that blondes also prefer gentlemen.
Happiness is precious, and so I prefer to keep mine private. In a world where everyone shares everything, I can think of a lot of happy moments, but they’re mine.
