In journalism just one fact that is false prejudices the entire work. In contrast, in fiction one single fact that is true gives legitimacy to the entire work.

Clearly the success of the Netflix model, releasing the entire season of ‘House of Cards’ at once, proved one thing: The audience wants the control. They want the freedom. If they want to binge as they’ve been doing on ‘House of Cards’ and lots of other shows, we should let them binge.
Kevin Spacey
There must be a story within him/her that wants to come out. That’s the reason why ‘Dil Chahta Hai,’ ‘Lagaan,’ and ‘Rang De Basanti’ worked so well: Ashutosh, Farhan, and Rakesh had a story inside them. It’s very important that the director should have the fire in the belly to tell the story.
Aamir Khan
Humans will always babble. If someone wants to tweet th

Humans will always babble. If someone wants to tweet that they can’t decide whether to wear blue socks or brown socks, then fair enough. But when sharing becomes automated, I get the heebie-jeebies.

I can’t even find someone for a platonic relationship, much less the kind where someone wants to see me naked.

Jimmy Kimmel
Our culture is steeped in positive thinking – from the self-help mega-industry to college courses in positive psychology to the enduring pull of the American dream. There is no dislike button on Facebook. Nobody wants to be a downer.
Suleika Jaouad
Our Congress should stay in session all summer – camp out in D.C., and turn off the AC. Put on their stuffiest powdered wigs and sweat it out, until they give in and put their John Hancocks (and their Nancy Pelosis and their John Boehners) on at least one meaningful law that no one wants to repeal.
Kevin Bleyer

Virat Kohli
Any surgery done to improve one’s looks is not really something someone wants to talk about.

Luvvie Ajayi
A man should always consider how much he has more than he wants.
Joseph Addison
The petty man is eager to make boasts, yet desires that others should believe in him. He enthusiastically engages in deception, yet wants others to have affection for him. He conducts himself like an animal, yet wants others to think well of him.

Choosing the narrator for a first-person story like ‘Downriver’ is a crucial decision because the voice has to be one the reader wants to listen to, and the voice has to be a match for the emotion you want the story to carry.
Will Hobbs
One of the best temporary cures for pride and affectation is seasickness; a man who wants to vomit never puts on airs.

Dick Cheney
Mark Winchester has left the band. He’s decided that he’s tired of the road and just wants to concentrate on his career in Nashville. I don’t blame him at all. He’ll certainly be missed.

Charles Stanley
Just because somebody wants to be alone sometimes, it doesn’t mean they don’t love you.
Fred Rogers
It’s really a lot easier to write about things that are problematic. Who wants to hear how happy you are?

Gladys Knight
If you are at United, you need a manager with a winning mentality. We had that with Ferguson. Mourinho has it. He wants to win every game.
David de Gea
I wish everyone well, but you need to focus on yourself. You need to stop putting your hand out. Everyone wants hand outs. Everyone wants things for free. You’ve got to put in the work. You’ve got to grind. You’ve got go through the struggle, and you’ve got to get it.
Conor McGregor
I do think that’s so much a part of what being a director is – in working with actors – to really try and be sensitive to what each actor needs to get to where he wants to be.
Bill Condon
It is a hard thing to let go of mistakes we've made and

It is a hard thing to let go of mistakes we’ve made and sins. God wants us to do that because He knows the guilt and the condemnation will keep us from becoming who He has created us to be.

For death is not the worst, but when one wants to die and is not able even to have that.
Sophocles
I am not self-destructive. I am not a person who wants to die.

Maxwell Maltz
I’m all about showing people that I’m a little messed up, I have a lot of the same problems you have. By exposing myself and putting myself out there, people can relate to me and my act won’t grow stale. I mean, nobody wants to hear a comedian say, ‘Life is great.’
Gabriel Iglesias
You have to write the book that wants to be written. And if the book will be too difficult for grown-ups, then you write it for children.
Madeleine L’Engle
Each generation wants new symbols, new people, new names. They want to divorce themselves from their predecessors.
Jim Morrison
In the end, it is about whether God wants us to be in the final, but I know that is what God wants. This time we will not need the Hand of God, because it is the will of God.
Diego Maradona
I’m terrified about psychic people who have their little shops. I always walk across the street and go somewhere else. Imagine if one of them came out with their face all pale and said, ‘Hurry up and enjoy yourself.’ No one wants to know that.
Mads Mikkelsen
Follow me around. I don’t care. If anybody wants to put a tail on me, go ahead. They’d be very bored.

Matt Gaetz
I think every young cook wants to write a book.
Thomas Keller
There’s absolutely nothing irrational about me; insane, yes, irrational, no. But my dumbest fear would be spinning in the magic tea cups. Who the hell wants to pay to spin around like a bent yoyo for laughs?
Akshay Kumar
At the end of the day you never know what team still wants what player. You just never know with the draft.
Aaron Donald
Whereas fiction is a continual discovery of what one wants to say, what one feels, what one means, and is, in that sense, a performance art, biography requires different skills – research and organization.
Edmund White
If you play the video game, you become more interested and you want to know more about it. You want to read as much about it as you can, see it live and watch as many games as you can. If you’re the type who wants to be as involved as you can in the sport, you’re probably going to want to play ‘Madden NFL.’
John Madden
No trooper, no special forces operative wants to sit behind a desk. We joined up to kick some doors down.
Ant Middleton
There is no virtue in compulsory government charity, and there is no virtue in advocating it. A politician who portrays himself as ‘caring’ and ‘sensitive’ because he wants to expand the government’s charitable programs is merely saying that he’s willing to try to do good with other people’s money.
P. J. O’Rourke
Whoever wants to reach a distant goal must take many small steps.
Helmut Schmidt
The promise of American opportunity and prosperity means something different to each of us. What we each envision varies in terms of wants and needs, and aspirations can change over time. But we all want to see our children have more opportunities than we had.

Monica Potter
When someone calls me up and wants me to do something, of course I am open to it. But I am not going to do it if there isn’t anything interesting or funny about it.
David Faustino
Teach success before teaching responsibility. Teach them to believe in themselves. Teach them to think, ‘I’m not stupid’. No child wants to fail. Everyone wants to succeed.
Al Green
I think you’ve got to watch out for anybody in high school who says he wants to become an economist.
Thomas J. Sargent
How wrong it is for a woman to expect the man to build the world she wants, rather than to create it herself.
Anais Nin
One piece of advice I often give young singers, including my son Vijay, is to not get sidetracked from their primary duty of learning music. This is the age of marketing and hard sell. Everybody wants instant results. But no amount of hard sell will prop you up if you don’t hone your craft.
K. J. Yesudas
Nobody is going to try to confiscate guns, although some Web sites know better: President Obama, they are certain, wants to.
Dick Cavett
I enjoy jokes, smiling, and making people smile. I may be a little different, but that’s OK, who wants to be normal anyway?
Tim Duncan

Rajnath Singh
If you want to fit in, you try to mirror whatever anyone wants from you.
Abi Morgan
The old adage about giving a man a fish versus teaching

The old adage about giving a man a fish versus teaching him how to fish has been updated by a reader: Give a man a fish and he will ask for tartar sauce and French fries! Moreover, some politician who wants his vote will declare all these things to be among his ‘basic rights.’
Thomas Sowell
In the nineties, everybody wants to talk about their rights and privileges. Twenty-five years ago, people talked about their obligations and responsibilities.
Lou Holtz
I’m sure all actors have trouble. The guy who always plays the funny guy, he wants to be taken seriously. And there’s the action guy who wants to do serious stuff. Everyone’s grass is greener.
Jason Momoa
The girl I find who wants to talk about quantum theory in a bar is the one I want to marry.
Brandon Boyd
Everyone wants to play at the top level – everyone wants to play in the biggest tournaments in the world – so, obviously, the Champions League is one.
Harry Maguire
My belief in God is that God wants you. God wants you to believe in him, or it, whatever you would call it.
Jason Segel
Everybody wants to be famous, but nobody wants to do the work. I live by that. You grind hard so you can play hard. At the end of the day, you put all the work in, and eventually it’ll pay off. It could be in a year, it could be in 30 years. Eventually, your hard work will pay off.
Kevin Hart
Everyone loves a love story, and everyone wants to know who’s getting on with who, it’s what makes the world go round.
Scarlett Moffatt
Every fighter, when they box, wants to leave a mark in their sport, or a legacy, and I managed to do that beyond my wildest dreams.
Joe Calzaghe
Everybody around the world wants to send their kids to our universities. But nobody wants to send their kids here to public school.
Walter Annenberg
It’s about having an active lifestyle, staying healthy, and making the right decisions. Life is about balance. Not everybody wants to run a marathon, but we could all start working out and being active, whether you walk to work or take an extra flight of stairs.
Apolo Ohno
The true self seeks release, not constraint. It doesn’t want to be corseted in a sonnet or made to learn a system of musical notations. It wants liberation, which is why very often it fastens on the novel, for the novel seems spacious, undefined, free.
Rachel Cusk
A manager has to convince his hitters that they have to get on base for the next guy and that no player can do it by himself. Sometimes that isn’t easy. In the playoffs, you can get into trouble because everybody wants to be a hero.
Earl Weaver
She’s like a Barbie, then she wants to be a superhero, or coming out of a spaceship and everything’s pink. She makes a certain move that’s ghetto hood mixed with a little robot so its like I’m evolving Nicki Minaj and developing her style. She’s fearless, and I love her.
Laurieann Gibson
I have met 18 million youth, and each wants to be unique.
A. P. J. Abdul Kalam
The key to success for any woman who wants to have a really serious career and a family is to marry a guy who is going to take at least half the responsibility for the house and kids – and sometimes more than half.
Gail Collins
I’m somebody who constantly wants to challenge himself, evolve, and grow. Because if you don’t, you fade. You become stagnant.
CM Punk
My inbox and doormat are full with emails and letters from people who want me to endorse their Higgs board game or to inaugurate the walkway of their new office atrium. There’s even a microbrewery in Barcelona which wants to know what my favourite beer is so they can brew a similar one in my honour. It is quite mad.
Peter Higgs
In terms of playing ability there is nothing to choose between number one and 100. Instead, it’s a question of who believes and who wants it more? Which player is mentally stronger? Which player is going to fight the hardest in the big points? These are the things that determine who is the champion.
Novak Djokovic
At this point I’ve got a bit of a track record. So people realize that when ‘Weird Al’ wants to go parody, it’s not meant to make them look bad… it’s meant to be a tribute.
Al Yankovic
Every mind is a clutter of memories, images, inventions and age-old repetitions. It can be a ghetto, too, if a ghetto is a sealed-off, confined place. Or a sanctuary, where one is free to dream and think whatever one wants. For most of us it’s both – and a lot more complicated.
Margo Jefferson
The cat does not offer services. The cat offers itself. Of course he wants care and shelter. You don’t buy love for nothing.
William S. Burroughs
There is nothing that man fears more than the touch of the unknown. He wants to see what is reaching towards him, and to be able to recognize or at least classify it. Man always tends to avoid physical contact with anything strange.
Elias Canetti
Why is everyone so obsessed with attracting the young? The Telegraph, Radio 4 – everyone wants a younger audience when everyone knows the population is getting older and older, and that older people have more dosh than young people.
Harry Enfield
Leadership is the art of getting someone else to do something you want done because he wants to do it.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
God just has a way of working things out the way he wants to and you have no say in that.
Rihanna
In order to encourage the cattle farmers to raise a herd of all-natural cattle, which is a several-year process, they have to know that it’s not just Shake Shack that wants to buy it. They have to have other buyers who are willing to pay more for all natural.
Danny Meyer
All wealth consists of desirable things; that is, things which satisfy human wants directly or indirectly: but not all desirable things are reckoned as wealth.
Alfred Marshall
I knew I wasn’t going to make money in the beginning, so I found another way to support myself – I was a receptionist. It’s quite smart to work that way. Otherwise, you get vicious and desperate, and no one wants to work with you. Build your career slowly; then people start to trust you and pay you well.
Pat McGrath
All that a husband or wife really wants is to be pitied a little, praised a little, and appreciated a little.
Oliver Goldsmith
For there to be communication within a couple, it is enough for there to be only one person who communicates or who really wants to communicate. Even though a couple consists of two people, if one of the people in a couple puts all their effort into moving a couple along they will move along.
Pedro Almodovar
I don't like it when a player says, 'I like freedom; I

I don’t like it when a player says, ‘I like freedom; I want to play for myself.’ Because the player has to understand he is part of a team with 10 other players. If everyone wants to be a jazz musician, it will be chaos. They will not be a team, and nothing will be possible.
Pep Guardiola
People are obsessed with my haircut; everyone wants to do something with my hair before the ceremony. Very senior figures tell me their hairstylist wants to do my hair for free. It’s surprising. People from television are interested almost exclusively in aspects of my hair and my hairdresser.
Ada Yonath
I think I’m changing the game. In that sense, I’m what Steph Curry is to basketball. Don’t get me wrong: I don’t necessarily think Steph Curry is the best basketball player, but he changed the game, so he’s going to always go down as being remembered. Now everyone wants to shoot the 3 and shoot it from deep.
Le’Veon Bell
People say I’m extravagant because I want to be surrounded by beauty. But tell me, who wants to be surrounded by garbage?
Imelda Marcos
Anyone who wants to sell you overnight success or wealth is not interested in your success; they are interested in your money.
Bo Bennett
I knew I was dog meat. Luckily, I’m the high-priced dog meat that everybody wants. I’m the good-quality dog meat. I’m the Alpo of the NBA.
Shaquille O’Neal
My nation wants the death penalty. That is the decision of the Grand National Assembly of Turkey.
Recep Tayyip Erdogan
I don’t have no story. Everybody wants this Hollywood story, but the world don’t owe you nothing, man. It’s what you owe the world.
Bernie Mac
No one really wants to admit they are lonely, and it is never really addressed very much between friends and family. But I have felt lonely many times in my life.
Bill Murray
‘I wish life was not so short,’ he thought. ‘Languages take such a time, and so do all the things one wants to know about.’
J. R. R. Tolkien
Not a day goes by where I’m not reminded of Gollum by some person in the street who asks me to do his voice or wants to talk to me about him. But because ‘The Hobbit’ has been talked about as a project for many years, I knew that at some point I’d have to reengage with him.
Andy Serkis
I’m very proud of the Italian heritage of my great-grandparents, who came here from Italy, and how they helped be a part of the American Dream, and that’s something we want to continue to make available to everybody who wants to come here.
Steve Scalise
Your Highest Self only wants you to be at peace. It does not judge, compare, or demand that you defeat anyone or be better than anyone.
Wayne Dyer
It’s a rare person who wants to hear what he doesn’t want to hear.
Dick Cavett
My legacy is that I will hustle and grind. No one will stop me from hustling. I’ll be where God wants me to be.
August Alsina
We should reduce total government spending as a percentage of the economy. The left wants to focus on the deficit so they can take us away from the focus on spending as a percentage of the economy.
Grover Norquist
My worst fear is to not able to understand what my director wants me to do. I might not be able to reciprocate to his idea or vision. I may not be able to perform before the camera. Those are my worst fears.
Kartik Aaryan
Everybody just wants to steal each other’s energy.
Ty Dolla Sign
I don’t want to have a real job. No one wants to have a job.
Ad-Rock
Now, if someone wants to spit on me, I just roll up the window of my BMW 540i.
Henry Rollins
The Champions League is the competition everyone wants to be in.
Steven Gerrard
Everyone wants to be happy – people find happiness in different ways. While you want to pursue your career 100 percent, I think it is very hard to give 100 percent in something else. It’s important to find this balance, and priorities change throughout life.
Ana Ivanovic
Man finds it hard to get what he wants, because he does not want the best; God finds it hard to give, because He would give the best, and man will not take it.
George MacDonald
I define fear as standing across the ring from Joe Louis and knowing he wants to go home early.
Max Baer
God is patient with us to become the God’s children he wants us to be but you really can see him weeping.
Desmond Tutu
The Donetsk People’s Republic is the self-declared pro-Russian government that wants to break away from Ukraine.
Richard Engel
The object of rewards is to encourage; that of punishments, to prevent. If rewards are high, then what the ruler wants will be quickly effected; if punishments are heavy, what he does not want will be swiftly prevented.
Han Fei
One is a painter because one wants so-called freedom; one doesn’t want to go to the office every morning.
Marcel Duchamp
Joe Biden’s nomination of gun-grabber David Chipman, who wants to ban, confiscate, and destroy the most popular self-defense and hunting rifle in America owned by millions of American patriots, is a clear indication that the ATF’s war on gun owners is just beginning and is about to crank up.
Marjorie Taylor Greene
Winning covers a multitude of sins. If you play bad and you still win, everyone says that’s the sign of a good ballclub. But when you play bad and you lose, all of a sudden you have problems and everyone wants to know why.
B. J. Armstrong
I’m just an observer of Java, and where Microsoft wants to go with C# is too early to tell.
Dennis Ritchie
Girdles and wire stays should have never been invented.

Girdles and wire stays should have never been invented. No man wants to hug a padded bird cage.
Marilyn Monroe
God wants you to be a winner, not a whiner.
Joel Osteen
You know what I really love? The CD players in a car. How when you put the CD right up by the slot, it actually takes it out of your hand, like it’s hungry. It pulls it in, and you feel like it wants more silver discs.
Tom Waits
There’s how, basically, Son Goku from ‘Dragon Ball’ doesn’t fight for the sake of others but because he wants to fight against strong guys. So once ‘Dragon Ball’ got animated, at any rate, I’ve always been dissatisfied with the ‘righteous hero’-type portrayal they gave him.
Akira Toriyama
The totalitarian, to me, is the enemy – the one that’s absolute, the one that wants control over the inside of your head, not just your actions and your taxes.
Christopher Hitchens
One must work and dare if one really wants to live.
Vincent Van Gogh
Our galaxy, the Milky Way, is one of 50 or 100 billion other galaxies in the universe. And with every step, every window that modern astrophysics has opened to our mind, the person who wants to feel like they’re the center of everything ends up shrinking.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
No one who has gotten second place at a Grand Slam is ever like, ‘Yeah, now I feel fine about it.’ Everyone wants the other trophy. But it inspires you to work harder and get yourself in that position again so that you can use what you’ve learned.
Madison Keys
Everyone wants to know why my top lip doesn’t move… I had laser hair removal on my upper lip, oh gosh, 2009, maybe 2008, and I got a third-degree burn. And my face on the right side doesn’t move the way my face on the left side moves. So, that is why.
Brandi Glanville
I just write a song, and it just comes out however it wants to. And some of them are catchy songs like ‘Here Comes The Sun,’ and some of them aren’t, you know.
George Harrison
Trying to guess what the (mass) audience wants and then trying to satisfy that is usually a bad recipe for getting something good.
Aaron Sorkin
I want to use my position of leadership to help move along at a faster pace what I believe and know the Obama administration wants to do around the urgency of climate change.
Kamala Harris
This city will be chocolate at the end of the day. This city will be a majority-African-American city. It’s the way God wants it to be. You can’t have New Orleans no other way.
Ray Nagin
Some people have a hard time getting rid of stuff. If that’s you, pray for God to give you the courage to get rid of things you don’t really need or things He wants you to give away. This will help keep your surroundings organized and clutter-free.
Joyce Meyer
If you put a woman in prison for four years when she’s young and make her pay her time in a horrible place and she wants to come out and work, and become a mother and be a contributor to society and pay taxes and you never give her that chance. There is something un-Canadian about that.
Kevin O’Leary
It certainly is the duty of every true Christian, to esteem himself a stranger and pilgrim in this world; and as bound to use earthly blessings, not as means of satisfying lust or gratifying wantonness, but of supplying his absolute wants and necessities.
Johann Arndt
At Nokia, we have an internal market for ideas. There could be someone in Nokia who wants research, and they will come to us.
Jan Chipchase
It’s like everyone wants to categorize you as this and that until you’ve made your own mark.
James Marshall
Can anything be so elegant as to have few wants, and to serve them one’s self?
Ralph Waldo Emerson
I’m just a guy that wants to entertain.
Dr. Disrespect
I have a long-standing interest in what I like to think of as ‘forbidden knowledge:’ methods of unarmed killing, lock picking, breaking and entry, spy stuff, and other things that the government wants only a few select individuals to know.
Barry Eisler
Nobody wants to lose to bloody Rochdale.
Steve Bruce
When the news wants to tell you something is important, they put dramatic theme music behind it. They scare you into watching the story.
Aaron McGruder
If somebody, without knowing me, comes up to me and wants to upset or belittle me, I think that reflects badly on them, not me… if you’re ever unsure of what to call me or someone like me, my name always does well.
Sinead Burke
I think every athlete wants to get sponsored. If you do really well in your sport, then I think sponsorship can help you get rewarded in that sense: doing what you can for your sponsor. It’s just another achievement in life.
Bianca Walkden
I don’t care about having a fancy car. I don’t have a lot of the wants and needs that a lot of people have where I would need to make a $1 million a fight.
Ben Askren
The future is like heaven, everyone exalts it, but no one wants to go there now.
James Baldwin
Evil wants you to think that its power is absolute, endless. It wants to so make you quake and quiver that all you’ll do is fall down and worship it.
Vernon Howard
One would like to be grand and heroic, if one could; but if not, why try at all? One wants to be very something, very great, very heroic; or if not that, then at least very stylish and very fashionable. It is this everlasting mediocrity that bores me.
Harriet Beecher Stowe
I think everybody respects Real Madrid; nobody wants to play against us.
Luka Modric
Everybody wants to talk about black and white, when the situation is really about rich people against poor people.
Charles Barkley
After 45 years of marriage, when I have an argument wit

After 45 years of marriage, when I have an argument with my wife, if we don’t agree, we do what she wants. But, when we agree, we do what I want!
Jacques Pepin
For a couple that wants to have a child, there’s the option of IVF, but then have a look at adoption as well.
Saroo Brierley
Everyone always wants to find the answer, to feel that things are resolved. But in dreams, maybe there isn’t an answer so much.
Gore Verbinski
Everyone wants to be an arena act, and it’s making country music evolve. People are cutting things more for that arena environment. But who’s to say that that is a sign of any more of a successful career than what James Taylor has been able to do, when he still comes and plays the Ryman every two years?
Tracy Lawrence
I think Christmas is about celebration and come on, on the inside everyone wants to dance.
TobyMac
The man who has gotten everything he wants is all in favor of peace and order.
Jawaharlal Nehru
My whole life is about racing, and of course everybody wants to do the same with your son. Being a father and doing motor racing with him goes hand in hand.
Jos Verstappen
Early in life I learned, just through observation, that right always wins out over wrong. If a person has good intentions in his heart and wants to do the right thing, then there are certain ways that any obstacle can be overcome.
Monte Irvin
We’re all biased, right, in many different ways – politically, religiously, ideologically, the way our family raised us – and that’s fine. Nobody wants to live in a world where everybody thinks exactly the same. The key, though, is to try to figure out where your biases are holding you back from solving problems.
Stephen J. Dubner
We have war when at least one of the parties to a conflict wants something more than it wants peace.
Jeane Kirkpatrick
Though all actors do not make good directors, Dhanush is really one of the finest. He knows exactly how to direct an actor to extract the performance the way he wants it. Perhaps that is happening because he is a performer himself.
Aditi Rao Hydari
Of course, no one wants to ban the vote. Voting should remain available for sporting and recreational purposes. But certain types of votes clearly should be curtailed – ‘assault votes,’ for example, in which the only purpose of the vote is to harm others.
P. J. O’Rourke
I just feel like, with growing up and having peer pressure and what society wants you to be and what you think you should do, I feel like it’s really important to surround yourself around good, understanding, amazing people that actually love you for you.
Storm Reid
If you’re playing a character who says whatever he wants, I felt free to say whatever I wanted on set.
Alan Tudyk
Ever since ‘Single White Female,’ the 1990 novel which was turned into a supremely scary film, the idea of a seemingly normal woman who will stop at nothing to get what she wants has become an abiding literary trope.
Lisa Jewell
The philosophy behind much advertising is based on the old observation that every man is really two men – the man he is and the man he wants to be.
William Feather
The individual who can do something that the world wants done will, in the end, make his way regardless of his race.
Booker T. Washington
The big question society will have to answer is whether it wants computers thinking like humans.
David Smith
Why does a man take it for granted that a girl who flirts with him wants him to kiss her – when, nine times out of ten, she only wants him to want to kiss her?
Helen Rowland
I’m cute – and God I hate that. Because that’s not cool. I’m like your niece, and nobody wants to date their niece. It’s the chubby cheeks. The whole reason people voted for me on American Idol is because I’m an everyday, normal girl.
Kelly Clarkson
Everyone wants to do only those films which they find interesting. That is the way the industry works.
Akshaye Khanna
I don’t think I’m inherently feminist. I think the universe wants me to be feminist, and I think I resonate with that. I think it just chose me to be this female energy… thing. And I’m very drawn to female energy, but I don’t really have any prerequisites in feminism. I just roll with it.
SZA
Nobody really wants to hear about anybody else’s injuries. Or how your back feels. Whose back doesn’t hurt?
Peyton Manning
Every man, and for stronger reasons, every artist, wants to be recognized. So do I.
Albert Camus
When an American heiress wants to buy a man, she at once crosses the Atlantic. The only really materialistic people I have ever met have been Europeans.
Mary McCarthy
People have to go through trials and tribulations to get where they at. Do your thing – continue to rock it – because obviously, God wants you here.
Kendrick Lamar
Like great teams in sports and business endeavors, if there’s a chemistry among the participants, and they truly enjoy fellowship together, everybody wants to be there, stay involved, and just have fun together.
Ed Greenwood
The most important thing is to have a good relationship with the bike… you have to understand what she wants. I think of a motorcycle as a woman, and I know that sounds silly, but it’s true.
Valentino Rossi
Since the Protestant majority in Northern Ireland wants to remain a part of Great Britain, and since Ireland itself has shown little interest in reunification, the IRA’s prospects for success through political channels have always been limited.
James Surowiecki
Everyone wants to be liked. It’s a basic human impulse for some of you, and that explains the turn-on-a-dime hypocrisy from people like Jim Carrey and Sean Penn.
Lisa Kennedy Montgomery
Every parent wants to do what’s best for their child. Whatever I can afford, I’m going to get my kid the best education I can get.
Michael Moore
A little scruff looks nice, but it feels so uncomfortab

A little scruff looks nice, but it feels so uncomfortable. Think about how a guy wants a girl to have smooth legs: It’s expected. Shouldn’t a guy be expected to do the same on his face? I think that’s only fair.
Brooklyn Decker
I never question a guy that wants to win, especially on my own team.
Ray Allen
There’s something about me that wants to grow a big company. I don’t deny that. I enjoy the game, and the only way to really enjoy it is to win. I like to win. It’s more fun.
Bernard L. Schwartz
The government can’t create jobs; they’ll destroy jobs trying to do it. The government doesn’t have any money; all they have is a printing press. We need to free markets to create jobs; if the government wants to help, they should reduce their burden on the economy.
Peter Schiff
If you’re a young person who wants to become an actor, it’s really important to walk into a casting room with a sense of yourself and some life experience. You can really delight a room and have them already choose you before you’ve even said a word!
Kenny Ortega
That’s a battle we are always fighting whenever we cut trailers or promos for films. We always wonder how much to say, and every filmmaker wants to say the minimum. You don’t want to reveal your film and ruin the viewing experience.
Rajkumar Hirani
Each individual garment has its own customizations based on a collaboration between us and the designer. We say what we think our woman wants, and they say, ‘This is what we think we can do with our production.’
Aslaug Magnusdottir
We should so provide for old age that it may have no urgent wants of this world to absorb it from meditation on the next. It is awful to see the lean hands of dotage making a coffer of the grave.
Pearl S. Buck
What the public wants is the image of passion, not passion itself.
Roland Barthes
You can’t deny laughter; when it comes, it plops down in your favorite chair and stays as long as it wants.
Stephen King
There is nothing your highest self wants more than peace. This peace makes you feel worthy of all of the richest blessings of the universe, and when you radiate this out into the world, it is returned to you without fail.
Wayne Dyer
Very often, people are obsessed with what others think of them. It’s like if a flower wants to be a cactus or a palm but it’s not. A flower is a flower, and that’s enough. That’s all you have to do is be a flower.
Stjepan Hauser
Everyone wants to escape, everyone’s drawn to escapism to leave their lives for an hour or two, and we’re all so curious as human beings.
Josh Bowman
What happens when the guy who runs the reactor gets out of bed wrong or decides, for some reason, that he wants to override his instruction sheet some afternoon?
David R. Brower
If my little girl wants a toy or something, sometimes I say, ‘I don’t have the money’. It’s quite difficult to understand why I’m saying that, but she needs to understand that nothing comes easy.
Dejan Lovren
I know some Australian players who were at Dortmund when he was there and found out about him. Wagner is a leader and makes all the decisions, but of course the players have to perform and deliver what he wants.
Aaron Mooy
I don’t think any woman wants to be known for being beautiful or busty. I think you want to be known for who you are.
Jamie Lee Curtis
Every woman needs one man in her life who is strong and responsible. Given this security, she can proceed to do what she really wants to do-fall in love with men who are weak and irresponsible.
Richard J. Needham
Of course I’m schooled in the old school method: taking what I think the director wants, then reworking it through my own brain and heart.
Shirley MacLaine
On every birthday, I ask my wife, ‘What would you like this year?’ and her instant reply is, ‘Diamonds! Diamonds! Diamonds!’ I’m always living in hope that one day she’ll say she just wants me!
Akshay Kumar
I believe in letting a guy live the way he wants to if he doesn’t hurt anyone.
Joe Namath
God loves us; the devil hates us. God wants us to have a fulness of joy as He has. The devil wants us to be miserable as he is. God gives us commandments to bless us. The devil would have us break these commandments to curse us.
Ezra Taft Benson
It is thrifty to prepare today for the wants of tomorrow.
Aesop
We don’t have a monopoly. Anyone who wants to dig a well without a Hughes bit can always use a pick and shovel.
Howard Hughes
I want to meet Denzel Washington when I go to the Oscars. Every man wants to see Halle Berry in person. And, you know, Dolly Parton… I wouldn’t mind seeing Dolly Parton. She’s from Tennessee, I’m from Tennessee.
Juicy J
Marriage is a wonderful institution, but who wants to live in an institution?
Groucho Marx
If the white man wants to live in peace with the Indian he can live in peace.
Chief Joseph
Atlanta is down south, the club. So the most thing played down there is club music. Everybody wants a hit.
Lil Uzi Vert
It’s important to be driven and have goals. You want an independent woman who knows what she wants and isn’t afraid to go after it. It’s attractive to me when a woman is doing what she loves. It makes me want to know more.
Apolo Ohno
This is a bipartisan effort. This is just good common sense. This is where the public wants us to go. They want us to not be so dependent on foreign oil.
Sam Brownback
What woman wants a camera following around her naked butt?
Charlotte Ross
As the times change, people change, and so do their tas

As the times change, people change, and so do their tastes, so I try to understand what the public wants, what they require. I have tried to make the music a bit easier for them to understand.
Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan
I fell in love with a civilian. Not an actress and not a famous actress at that. Because then the attention doesn’t double – it grows exponentially. Because then suddenly everybody wants to be in your bedroom. But I don’t really give them anything.
Matt Damon
It’s difficult to really assess what I’ve done right per say, but if I did have to point out, I’d say that I never really looked to have goals that will limit me. When one knows where he is going to or wants to end up, he/she actually doesn’t realise that the goal is more limiting, than liberating.
Amaal Mallik
Everybody wants to be great at something.
D. L. Hughley
We’re already in a trade war with China. The problem is we’ve not been fighting back. Trump, through tariffs, wants to call a truce.
Peter Navarro
I believe God, Jesus, died that we not just go to Heaven but that we excel in this life. I never think you make money your goal… God wants you to excel. Just keep Him in first place, and God will open up doors you never dreamed of.
Joel Osteen
I don’t diet. I’ll eat fish; I’ll eat baked chicken, pasta, beans. When the body is telling you, ‘You need to indulge in something,’ you need to give the body what it wants.
Jerry Rice
I feel as though the camera is almost a kind of voyeur in Mr. Bean’s life, and you just watch this bizarre man going about his life in the way that he wants to.
Rowan Atkinson
Every actor just wants good writing.
Jeff Daniels
The program director at a radio station, by the way, is not the superstar. If he was a superstar, he’d be out creating songs, but he’s not. But he wants to act like he has control and power.
Kid Rock
I never cake someone who doesn’t want to be caked – at least, I try not to. Sometimes I miss my target. I’m pretty much going through the crowd making sure I find someone who wants to get caked. If you don’t want to get caked, shake your head or tell me you don’t want to get caked. It’s that easy.
Steve Aoki
Our problems are man-made, therefore they may be solved by man. And man can be as big as he wants. No problem of human destiny is beyond human beings.
John F. Kennedy
I think people need to be educated to the fact that marijuana is not a drug. Marijuana is an herb and a flower. God put it here. If He put it here and He wants it to grow, what gives the government the right to say that God is wrong?
Willie Nelson
From the U.S. point of view, negotiations are, in effect, a way for Israel to continue its policies of systematically taking over whatever it wants in the West Bank, maintaining the brutal siege on Gaza, separating Gaza from the West Bank and, of course, occupying the Syrian Golan heights, all with full U.S. support.
Noam Chomsky
Every woman needs a private pin money stash. That is her own personal stash of cash to do with whatever she wants. It gives a woman freedom even if she doesn’t spend it – especially if she doesn’t spend it.
Sarah Ban Breathnach
Of all the things Christ wants for us, loving Him and focusing our attention on Him are the most important.
Charles Stanley
‘Naked’ embodies what everyone, at the end of the day, really wants and how they should feel.
Ella Mai
The actor is too prone to exaggerate his powers; he wants to play Hamlet when his appearance is more suitable to King Lear.
Sarah Bernhardt
Our hubris needs to be downsized, thinking that profiteering on Earth, on whatever level – environmentally, economically, culturally – is unlimited and everybody should get as much as he wants or she wants. Humans need to be shrunk again to their actual size.
Christoph Waltz
Because God gave you your makeup and superintended every moment of your past, including all the hardship, pain, and struggles, He wants to use your words in a unique manner. No one else can speak through your vocal cords, and, equally important, no one else has your story.
Charles R. Swindoll
It needs time. Nobody wants to hear it, but that’s the truth: if you want to have success in the future, you have to be ready to work now.
Jurgen Klopp
Every man is the architect of his own life. He builds it just the way he wants it. However, after he has built what he wants, he sometimes decides that he doesn’t like what he has built and looks for someone or something to blame instead of changing himself.
Sydney Madwed
An Atheist believes that a hospital should be built instead of a church. An atheist believes that deed must be done instead of prayer said. An atheist strives for involvement in life and not escape into death. He wants disease conquered, poverty vanished, war eliminated.
Madalyn Murray O’Hair
President Obama is a utopian at heart. He wants to improve the lives of the downtrodden, which is a good thing. But, he doesn’t understand that damaging the free marketplace in pursuit of ‘social justice’ will eventually harm those whom he wants to help. The nation’s crushing debt is a tsunami brewing off shore.
Bill O’Reilly
Ultimately, I’m not doing that much. I’m only doing what a human being who feels wants to do – in my way, without stepping out of my flow, while staying in my lane. Without, I guess, boring people.
Bad Bunny
The public wants to know that their political leaders will stay true to the promise made to them that Brexit means Brexit.
Priti Patel
Gaming is one of those things that’s pretty amazing because when you think about it, everybody wants to game; whether you’re a casual gamer, or you’re an enthusiast gamer, there’s a large market for us.
Lisa Su
As a former prosecutor, I never presented a case in front of the grand jury that didn’t result in an indictment. Bottom line: If a prosecutor wants to indict a case, the case gets indicted.
Sunny Hostin
There’s a part of me that wants to be known and make a comfortable living but still be able to go grocery shopping. My overall idea of success is having people I want to work with want to work with me.
Lusia Strus
Teddy Roosevelt… once said, ‘Speak softly and carry a big stick.’ Jimmy Carter wants to speak loudly and carry a fly swatter.
Gerald R. Ford
No one wants a default, or to slam the door in the IMF’s face.
Alberto Fernandez
I think every player who truly loves basketball wants t

I think every player who truly loves basketball wants to be in the game at all times.
Jalen Brunson
Everybody wants to be home. People will rather stay at their home with little than risk everything to try to find more.
Nayib Bukele
Any man who wants to be president is either an egomaniac or crazy.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
The Champions League is always special. I believe every player, every fan, every coach wants this trophy. It is unbelievable, and it is one of the greatest achievements you can have in football.
Marc-Andre ter Stegen
I always tell people that to be the funny person in a Steve Martin movie is like getting a call that Keith Moon wants you to play drums on his record. He should be playing drums on his record.
Jason Schwartzman
Stating my views on Islam has brought me to court on charges of ‘group insult’ and incitement to racial hatred. I am being tried for voicing opinions that I – and my constituents – consider to be the truth. I am being tried for challenging the views that the ruling establishment wants to impose on us as the truth.
Geert Wilders
Nobody wants to hear that you met Harry Truman… I met Harry Truman… But you know what I mean? Nobody’s interested. They want to know you met Rihanna. And that kills me.
Joan Rivers
Although God loves us unconditionally, He does get angry at sin, wickedness and evil. But He is not an angry God. God hates sin, but He loves sinners! He will never approve of sin in your life, but He always loves you and wants to work with you to make progress in living a holy life in Christ.
Joyce Meyer
What reader wants to be told what attitude to strike?
Ian Mcewan
One of my favorite movies of all time is ‘It’s A Wonderful Life,’ which is a pretty interesting choice for a seasonal Christmas favorite, because it’s about a guy who wants to commit suicide and is presented with reasons not to.
Frank Darabont
There are only two things. Truth and lies. Truth is indivisible, hence it cannot recognize itself; anyone who wants to recognize it has to be a lie.
Franz Kafka
The average man does not know what to do with this life, yet wants another one which will last forever.
Anatole France
Of course, every actor wants to play as many roles on the Richter scale as they can, and Rachel Koresh certainly is very different from Supergirl, but she shares a lot of the strength that Supergirl has.
Melissa Benoist
Everything you want is out there waiting for you to ask. Everything you want also wants you. But you have to take action to get it.
Jules Renard
Corporate America doesn’t give a damn about you. It does not care about your feelings. It wants productivity, and whoever doesn’t produce is going to be pushed out, and the way is going to be paved for somebody else to step into your shoes who can do the job.
Stephen A. Smith
Flexibility has become a modern day value that everyone wants. But flexibility comes with a cost.
Maynard Webb
The fiesta of soccer, a feast for the legs that play and the eyes that watch, is much more than a big business run by overlords from Switzerland. The most popular sport in the world wants to serve the people who embrace it.
Eduardo Galeano
The sun sucks. I used to love the sun, but now I hate it because it just wants to kill everything. I always tell everyone, if you don’t want to do skin care, fine, but at least put sunscreen on. The reason why we have little freckles, skin cancer, and wrinkles is because of the sun.
Amber Liu
I’m a woman who wants to reach out and take 40 million people in her arms.
Judy Garland
Everybody wants to be somebody; nobody wants to grow.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Every year that I go out on tour, I think about all the craziest ideas that would be great to go out with, and I think, ‘I should see if Jeff Beck wants to join my band for a month or something.’
Joe Satriani
The writer’s greed is appalling. He wants, or seems to want, everything and practically everybody, in another sense, and at the same time, he needs no one at all.
James Baldwin
All I wanted was just what everybody else wants, you know, to be loved.
Rita Hayworth
No matter what has happened to you in the past or what is going on in your life right now, it has no power to keep you from having an amazingly good future if you will walk by faith in God. God loves you! He wants you to live with victory over sin so you can possess His promises for your life today!
Joyce Meyer
A diabetic always wants to help another diabetic.
Damon Dash
A bride at her second marriage does not wear a veil. She wants to see what she is getting.
Helen Rowland
To achieve success wasn’t to get into the major leagues or have the best season in the world. The best success is to live your life the way God wants you to.
Jose Altuve
The Indian knew how to live without wants, to suffer without complaint, and to die singing.
Alexis de Tocqueville
The New Order wants to implement democracy in economy. It is an order to achieve a social, political, economic, and cultural society with Pancasila and Belief in God Almighty as our moral values.
Suharto
I want a man, but I want a man that also wants to embrace his inner child.
Paula Patton
Money won’t make you happy… but everybody wants to find out for themselves.
Zig Ziglar
Nobody wants to stay in Green Bay and run laps in the s

Nobody wants to stay in Green Bay and run laps in the snow and go boxing in the gym. Everybody has what works for them, and I feel as though this works for me – it keeps me hungry, it keeps me with that edge. Other guys get a hard day’s work in, but they’re on the beach afterward.
Mike Daniels
There’s an art to asking questions. Briefings are valuable but normally communicate primarily what the subordinate leader wants you to know, and often the picture they provide is incomplete.
Stanley A. McChrystal
Poverty is from the devil and that God wants all Christians prosperous.
Benny Hinn
If a person wants to enjoy attention, he will create situations to get it.
Imtiaz Ali
While the radical left wants to dismantle, defund, and destroy, Republicans, under President Trump’s leadership, want to rebuild, restore and renew.
Madison Cawthorn
Man loves everything that satisfies his comfort. He hates everything that wants to draw him out of his acquired and secured position and that disturbs him. Thus he loves the house and hates art.
Adolf Loos
It is our best work that God wants, not the dregs of our exhaustion. I think he must prefer quality to quantity.
George MacDonald
I don’t come with the goal of submitting, knocking out or getting bonuses. I come to do my job, to show that a humble guy can chase what he wants.
Charles Oliveira
Failure worries me; nobody wants to fail. There is a fear that one day, films will not come my way, or if someone doesn’t watch your film, that is a worrying point. It is unpredictable in the industry.
Alia Bhatt
Since the departure of good old-fashioned entertainers the re-emergence of somebody who wants to be an entertainer has unfortunately become a synonym for camp. I don’t think I’m camper than any other person who felt at home on stage, and felt more at home on stage than he did offstage.
David Bowie
Here’s the thing Washington always misses. Washington always wants a deal. America wants a solution. Americans sent us here to solve problems.
Jim Jordan
My manager wants me to dress like a nun and I want to dress like a teenager.
Anna Kournikova
An injured lion still wants to roar.
Randy Pausch
To be a leader, you have to make people want to follow you, and nobody wants to follow someone who doesn’t know where he is going.
Joe Namath
Part of me wants a bunch of jocks to go to Comic-Con and call them all dweebs so they can be like, ‘Pump the brakes a little bit.’ But that said, it’s all positive. It’s just, of course, I’m going to find some cynicism in it.
Thomas Middleditch
I have a gruff side. This is not exactly news… At the same time, anyone who wants to judge me for this can walk a mile in my moccasins. And then we’ll talk.
Marianne Williamson
Every investor around the world wants to invest in U.S. markets because they’re regulated and they’re licensed. They’re trustworthy; they have confidence. If you take that away, the global economy will take a hit like nothing else. We want to create that for Bitcoin.
Tyler Winklevoss
The world is so caught up in the ‘American Idol’ idealistic sort of tendency in regards to just thinking that this whole thing is what everybody wants, but it doesn’t help you make a better record.
Maxwell
People who got on their feet and freaked about were called idiot dancers. and nobody wants to be called an idiot dancer. But the whole idea of rock and roll is to get people off their arses – that’s what it’s about.
Steve Marriott
Having had that experience… I think, what modern culture wants to see is the relationship with the woman. I don’t think you can tell a story on film nowadays where the woman simply is there for the man when he decides to settle down.
Tom Selleck
Narcissism is a fact of life – it’s a natural part of growing older, right? It’s a part of your development. So being angry about the younger generation being ‘narcissistic,’ that’s like saying ‘Oh, this young generation only wants to poop in their diaper! They don’t want to use the bathroom!’
Adam Conover
On this Twitter thing, at least five people a day say ‘bring back the mullet.’ My wife told me I’m not allowed. Troy Tulowitzki wants me to grow a rat-tail for his charity. I was like, ‘What the heck is a rat-tail?’
John Kruk
The mental is more important than the physical. You know, that voice in your head telling you to give up if it gets tough. That’s my main opponent – making sure that if your body wants to stop, your mind won’t let you.
Anthony Joshua
Everybody wants the Hollywood glamour of the Premier League.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer
Every married man who wants peace in the relationship, should learn the trick to avoid that one question – ‘How is the food?’
Emraan Hashmi
America wants its respect.
Tupac Shakur
Everyone wants to get behind the red rope, but actually: be yourself, don’t believe what you see, don’t believe all this marketing.
Daphne Guinness
Don’t trust the heart, it wants your blood.
Stanislaw Jerzy Lec
There are times when even the best manager is like the little boy with the big dog, waiting to see where the dog wants to go so he can take him there.
Lee Iacocca
‘The Museum of Innocence’ is not about politics; it’s a love story, but I think it’s political in the sense that it wants to capture how a man suppresses a woman.
Orhan Pamuk
Nobody wants to pay higher taxes. But do you want your kids to get a good education? You have to pay for that. Do you want Medicare for senior citizens? I do. We have to pay for it.
Shelley Berkley
I want to be an NBA all-star and help my team win. That

I want to be an NBA all-star and help my team win. That’s what it’s all about, is winning. I’m a competitor… People said a lot about me being selfish and stuff like that. Getting into the league, I can’t wait to shut that down. I’m a guy who wants to play and to win and love my teammates.
Shabazz Muhammad
No one wants to die, and no one wants to die poor. These are the two fundamental truths that transcend culture, they transcend politics, they transcend economic cycles.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
Argentina wants to have good ties with the entire world.
Mauricio Macri
Satan wants us to constantly focus on everything that is wrong with us and look at how far we still have to go. But God desires for us to rejoice in how far we have already come.
Joyce Meyer
Who the heck wants to go to school after you just played in the Super Bowl?
Cris Collinsworth
I can think of films that I’m producing right now that are extremely hard-hitting, graphic films, that nobody necessarily wants to see, graphic in terms of violence, of adult content and racial and historical subject matter.
Aaron Eckhart
Don’t ever break someone’s trust. Once you do, then nobody wants to do business with you.
Robert Budi Hartono
Man wants but little here below, nor wants that little long.
Oliver Goldsmith
I was born and brought up in Liverpool with my clever little sister Jemma, who is 14 and wants to be a vet. My mum Jane is an administrator and my dad Peter is a taxi driver.
Jennifer Ellison
No one wants to go back to a situation where, if you have a pre-existing medical condition, you, you can be deprived of coverage. No one wants to go back to a situation where, if you get seriously ill, you can get thrown off your insurance. Seniors don’t want to go back to paying more for their prescription drugs.
David Axelrod
Everyone and his Big Brother wants to log your browsing habits, the better to build a profile of who you are and how you live your life – online and off. Search engine companies offer a benefit in return: more relevant search results. The more they know about you, the better they can tailor information to your needs.
Barton Gellman
At some point in time, we’re going to have to stop addressing the kneeling, and we’re going to have to start addressing what led Colin Kaepernick to kneel. That’s the issue that nobody wants to talk about.
Shannon Sharpe
I pity the man who wants a coat so cheap that the man or woman who produces the cloth will starve in the process.
Benjamin Harrison
My wife wants sex in the back of the car and she wants me to drive.
Rodney Dangerfield
Everybody in the Middle East wants to explain why they’re right.
P. J. O’Rourke
The United States is definitely ahead in culture of innovation. If someone wants to accomplish great things, there is no better place than the U.S.
Elon Musk
Most of the things we buy are wants. And we call them needs, but they’re wants.
Dave Ramsey
Everybody wants financial security for their family, and when a player says otherwise, he’s lying.
Richarlison
I was always a happy kid. I’d play the piano fairly well. I did all sorts of things fairly well. But who the hell wants to be happy all the time? It’s a miserable state to be in permanently. Can you imagine how dreary that would be?
Christopher Plummer
Sure, every young person dreams about being famous, but nobody wants to be famous – unless they’re Zsa Zsa Gabor – every single moment of every single day.
John Ritter
I’m not big on plastic surgery for me but I don’t fault it for someone who wants it for them. You have to do what makes you feel good, but it’s not my thing.
Sharon Stone
I guess my music career is my personal life. You know, I’ve always been a writer who wants to write about my experiences. And so this experience being added to that, I – I want to live extraordinary experiences. And when I give advice to people, I want it to be sage advice.
Jason Mraz
I’m not a non-profit person. I think of myself as an entrepreneur who wants to work on global education.
Adam Braun
I am my city. Nobody from my city wants to hear about my city.
Lil Wayne
God wants us to know that life is a series of beginnings, not endings. Just as graduations are not terminations, but commencements. Creation is an ongoing process, and when we create a perfect world where love and compassion are shared by all, suffering will cease.
Bernie Siegel
Nobody wants to see teams out of contention showcased in December and January. I’m sure this is something that will be discussed again this off-season.
Al Michaels
No one wants to be picked at. At the end of the day, we’re all human beings with feelings and emotions. Nobody wants to be critiqued and picked apart, but it’s the nature of the business. It comes with the territory. For me, if they’re not talking about you, that’s where you can run into some trouble.
Roman Reigns
Nobody wants to buy a $60,000 electric Civic. But people will pay $90,000 for an electric sports car.
Elon Musk
You’ve got to want to play defence. Nobody really wants to play defence. It’s boring. It sucks. You don’t get the flashiness, the scores, the dunks. But you’ve got to have it.
Marcus Smart
I think what makes people fascinating is conflict, it’s drama, it’s the human condition. Nobody wants to watch perfection.
Nicolas Cage
A man who wants time to read and write must let the grass grow long.
Sloan Wilson
Fighting means you could lose. Bullying means you can't

Fighting means you could lose. Bullying means you can’t. A bully wants to beat somebody; he doesn’t want to fight somebody.
Andrew Vachss
Someone who wants to write should make an effort to write a little something every day. Writing in this sense is the same as athletes who practice a sport every day to keep their skills honed.
Anita Desai
There’s a battle between what the cook thinks is high art and what the customer just wants to eat.
Mario Batali
If the United States wants access to Chinese, Indian or Vietnamese markets, we must get access to theirs. U.S. protectionism is very subtle but it is very much there.
Azim Premji
Whoever wants to know the heart and mind of America had better learn baseball, the rules and realities of the game – and do it by watching first some high school or small-town teams.
Jacques Barzun
In terms of pace, every captain wants pace in their attack.
Joe Root
That was an organic relationship. He reached out to me, and I was like, ‘Oh my God, I cannot believe somebody like Laquan Smith wants to put his clothes on me.’ He comes from a small place, and he has big dreams, and what I like about him the most is that his clothes curve with your body.
Cardi B
I always distrust people who know so much about what God wants them to do to their fellows.
Susan B. Anthony
I’m not a guy who wants to skydive and open my parachute at the last minute. I want to open my parachute right away and know what’s coming.
Kirk Cousins
I think Michelle Obama ought to wear her hair exactly the way she wants to wear her hair. I am not looking for Michelle Obama to cut her hair off like I have mine, very short. I’m not looking for her to do twists. I’m looking for her to wear what’s comfortable for her.
A’Lelia Bundles
Doing DJ sets is like – is difficult to me. Cause you have to find that happy medium of playing what the crowd wants and what you want.
Mac Miller
Whatever it is that my heart wants, I’ll do it, which is different than I used to be. I used to tell my heart what it wanted.
Kevin Parker
Leaders receive and give assignments. This is an important part of the necessary principle of delegating. No one appreciates a willing volunteer more than I, but the total work cannot be done as the Lord wants it done merely by those doing the work who may be present at meetings.
James E. Faust
There’s a lot of talented guys, but at the end of the day, you’ve got to go out there and get it. It’s really about who’s competing and who wants it more on both ends of the floor.
Jayson Tatum
Everyone wants to talk about it, and right now music, flat-panel televisions, a whole host of new handheld devices are fun to talk about and very exciting to look at.
Kevin Rollins
Anytime a member of Congress wants to travel abroad – which we do from time to time as part of our official duties – we are required to check with the House Committee on Ethics as to whether the trip follows the ethics rules by which federally elected officials are bound. Not so with Supreme Court justices.
Mike Quigley
Good listeners have a huge advantage. For one, when they engage in conversation, they make people ‘feel’ heard. They ‘feel’ that someone really understands their wants, needs and desires. And for good reason; a good listener does care to understand.
Simon Sinek
No one wants to follow a pessimist… You can be skeptical, you can be realistic, but you can’t be cynical. If your boss is Eeyore, do you want to work with someone like that? Oh, bother.
Bob Iger
Look at our society. Everyone wants to be thin, but nobody wants to diet. Everyone wants to live long, but few will exercise. Everybody wants money, yet seldom will anyone budget or control their spending.
John C. Maxwell
Even if you flippin’ fries at McDonald’s, if you are excellent, everybody wants to be in your line.
Oprah Winfrey
I don’t think anyone in this country wants to hear anything about President Trump from below the waist, below the belt.
Abby Huntsman
Anyone who seeks power wants absolute power.
Robert Shea
I think the best thing with any superstar is to try to limit his touches. Try not to let him catch the ball where he wants it, try to deny him some, double team him some, throw different looks at him.
Danny Green
From creating a new sovereign to affairs of the heart, majestic moments to everyday life, when monarchy wants to send a message it uses a photograph.
Lucy Worsley
In Paris, everybody wants to be an actor; nobody is content to be a spectator.
Jean Cocteau
Human nature doesn’t change. When enough people are comfortable enough financially, there is going to be human nature that wants to spend more money on better quality and, to some degree, status symbols as well.
Danny Meyer
The whole point of the kingdom of God is Jesus has come to bear witness to the true truth, which is nonviolent. When God wants to take charge of the world, he doesn’t send in the tanks. He sends in the poor and the meek.
N. T. Wright
Because Lincoln is so closely identified with what it is to be American, everyone wants to claim him, to rewrite his story to satisfy their own particular needs.
Henry Louis Gates
The heart, like the stomach, wants a varied diet.
Gustave Flaubert
The best thing about being a dad? Well, I think it’s just the thing that every man wants – to have a son and heir.
George Best
Atoms are very special: they like certain particular partners, certain particular directions, and so on. It is the job of physics to analyze why each one wants what it wants.
Richard P. Feynman
I don't have to jump up and smile just because TV wants

I don’t have to jump up and smile just because TV wants me to.
Walter Payton
Nobody wants to give up good players.
Vince Lombardi
If you want to give a tangible present, but you know the recipient wants cash, give a little bit of both. This strategy is helpful for occasions that involve a public opening of presents, like a bridal or baby shower. You can give something that can be wrapped and opened, along with a card containing a check.
Jean Chatzky
To put it rather bluntly, I am not the type who wants to go back to the land; I am the type who wants to go back to the hotel.
Fran Lebowitz
If anybody wants to beat me, let them run a world record.
Steve Prefontaine
I’ve been in situations where I was the only black guy. We’re in a time now where nobody wants to see that. But it still happens.
Dak Prescott
I think that most people believe that Russia, because of its – it has regained some of its military strength. And they do rattle the saber a bit. It wants to be a player.
Charlie Rose
Your customers are the lifeblood of your business. Their needs and wants impact every aspect of your business, from product development to content marketing to sales to customer service.
John Rampton
No one has ever loved anyone the way everyone wants to be loved.
Mignon McLaughlin
Everyone’s a critic: when you are doing something good, everybody wants to bring you down, and that’s something I’ve been told. People want to see you do good, but not too good.
Roman Reigns
I think a man needs to be a man. To hold a woman the way she wants to be held. Just do whatever your woman wants, and you’ll be fine.
Jason Momoa
Do good ’cause God wants you to be happy. When you come to church, when you worship Him, you’re not doing it for God, really. You’re doing it for yourself because that’s what makes God happy.
Victoria Osteen
There’s many things that I am. And all of those things come together at some point. If somebody wants to limit me, you know and they’ll say, ‘Well, this is Walter Mosley, the mystery writer.’ I don’t like that. Because I do many things.
Walter Mosley
The way I look at it, everything is a trade. You acquire some money, so then you’ve got no financial burdens, but everyone wants your money and so who can you trust? Or you’ve got no money and you can trust anyone, but then you’ve got the worry to pay bills. Which is worse?
Matt LeBlanc
No sensible author wants anything but praise.
A. A. Milne
God has a team. It’s made up of African-American, Anglo, Hispanic, Asian, Middle Eastern, and a variety of other people and cultures. He never wants you to make your distinction, your history, or your background so precious to you that it messes up His team.
Tony Evans
None of us wants to be judged by our worst act on our worst day, and we consistently judge Burr for that. He was not a perfect man, but he’s not a villain. He’s a dude, just a guy.
Leslie Odom, Jr.
When a man comes to me for advice, I find out the kind of advice he wants, and I give it to him.
Josh Billings
I like to take every day just searching my own heart, making sure that I’m on course, and I’m doing what God wants me to do. I’m real good with not looking to the critics and looking straight ahead.
Joel Osteen
The policies the Left wants to push are both morally and financially bankrupt.
Madison Cawthorn
My mum wants the best for me. And I like having my mum around me.
Dionne Bromfield
Medical decisions have been politicized. What doctor wants a state legislator in his consulting room?
Garry Trudeau
It makes it easy for a player when you’ve got really good teammates and when everyone wants the same thing.
Sadio Mane
Talent does whatever it wants to do. Genius does only what it can.
Eugene Delacroix
No director wants to be directed, but no good director… would shy away from the good ideas of others.
Tommy Lee Jones
Good management is the art of making problems so interesting and their solutions so constructive that everyone wants to get to work and deal with them.
Paul Hawken
The last thing an Englishman wants to hear is a man from Brussels trying to imitate his language – you want to hear a different point of view. You may not be able to understand the details, but you can understand the feeling.
Stromae
I think everybody wants to redeem themselves after they’ve done something that might be considered negative. I don’t think anyone wants to go to the grave negative.
Ice T
All business is basically about customers and marketing and making money and capitalism and winning and promoting it and having something someone really wants.
Roger Ailes
For the longest time, Indian women have been okay with being curvy. But I think the modern Indian woman needs to get toned. I don’t endorse being thin. Anorexia and bulimia are a reality in India because everybody wants to be thin.
Bipasha Basu
No child wants to fail. Everyone wants to succeed.
Al Green
Threescore years and ten is enough; if a man can't suff

Threescore years and ten is enough; if a man can’t suffer all the misery he wants in that time, he must be numb.
Josh Billings
Everyone wants immediate success, immediate celebrity, and that doesn’t produce what used to be artists.
Colin R. Davis
There are some concerns that are universal. Everyone wants to be loved, and everyone wants to feel like they belong somewhere in the world. Everyone wants to do something and feel like they have a sense of purpose. These are just the things that I think about and the things that make their way into my songwriting.
Tracy Chapman
With Quentin Tarantino, he makes movies imagining himself as the audience. To be specific and true to what he wants resonates to people who like his movies.
Paul Rust
It’s always marvelous to have somebody who, you know, you feel understands and wants to encourage.
Prince Charles
Masks are wonderfully paradoxical in this way: while they may hide the physical reality, they can show us how a person wants to be seen.
Joanna Scott
To be told that one can be dependent on one’s parents until age 26 should strike a young person who wants to grow up as demeaning, not as something to celebrate.
Dennis Prager
Find out what the other team wants to do. Then take it away from them.
George Halas
You can’t expect everyone to love you. I’m not someone who just wants to throw out hate, just because.
Khloe Kardashian
Everyone is living for everyone else now. They’re doing stuff so they can tell other people about it. I don’t get all that social media stuff, I’ve always got other things I want to do – odd jobs around the house. No one wants to hear about that.
Karl Pilkington
How does it feel? Really, I don’t know because I never try to feel more or less than any player in Leverkusen or Mexico. I don’t feel like I’m more famous than other players; I’m just one more footballer who wants to achieve their dreams and to try to help their team as much as they can to do that.
Javier Hernandez
It’s really hard coming of age in today’s society, where society wants you to make the decision of what you want to do with your life by the time you’re 16 years old. Most kids don’t know what they want to do. How could they? They haven’t lived in the real world yet.
Rooney Mara
None of us wants to be reminded that dementia is random, relentless, and frighteningly common.
Laurie Graham
Coach Skiles is tough. He’s been my only coach in the NBA, so I’m used to it. His rules are a little different at times. At the end of the day, he just wants you to play hard defense, and you can’t fault him for that.
Brandon Jennings
What makes a good nanny? A good nanny is someone who really wants to do the job. Someone who loves children, who really values what she does and, of course, is valued by her employer.
Robert Klein
Everybody who cares about me wants me to do therapy, but I just can’t do therapy.
Lil Peep
No one wants to see curvy women.
Karl Lagerfeld
Unfortunately, we can never truly know if we’re making the right decision. What we do know is that wherever we are, that’s where the Light wants us to be. It’s the best place for us to be now. And as long as we don’t try to control the situation, then we won’t end up in the place we shouldn’t be.
Yehuda Berg
Well, no American wants to in any way hurt our capabilities to national defense, but that doesn’t mean an unlimited amount of money, and a blank check for anything they want at any time, for any purpose. Not at all.
Chuck Hagel
The average tourist wants to go to places where there are no tourists.
Sam Ewing
Be stupid, be dumb, be funny, if that’s who you are. Don’t try to be someone that society wants you to be; that’s stupid. So be yourself.
Christina Grimmie
I told Celine Dion not to record that ‘Titanic’ song. That’s about as big as you can get. ‘Flashdance?’ I thought, ‘Welder by day, disco dancer by night – who wants to see that?’
David Foster
You can’t go wrong with pirates. I mean, they’re pirates. It’s what everyone wants to be when they’re a kid. Ninja, assassin, or a pirate – and now you can kind of be all three.
Ralph Ineson
I believe that the FCC and Tribal Nations share the same goal-ensuring high-speed Internet access to anyone who wants it, while respecting and preserving sites with historic, religious, and cultural significance to Tribes.
Ajit Pai
When I was a boy I used to do what my father wanted. Now I have to do what my boy wants. My problem is: When am I going to do what I want?
Sam Levenson
The United States is the only advanced country that permits the pharmaceutical industry to charge exactly what the market will bear, whatever it wants.
Marcia Angell
The thing with acting is I’m at the liberty of someone who wants to book me. With music, I can do it all the time. With acting, I could, too, if I wanted to write a script and do that whole thing, but music is a constant thing. Acting, I have to audition.
Ross Lynch
Nobody ever wants to really make someone feel bad.
Patrick Wilson
Conversion is a complete surrender to Jesus. It’s a willingness to do what he wants you to do.

Nancy Reagan
Terror is only justice: prompt, severe and inflexible; it is then an emanation of virtue; it is less a distinct principle than a natural consequence of the general principle of democracy, applied to the most pressing wants of the country.
Maximilien Robespierre
If you're in a workplace you don't like right now, be e

If you’re in a workplace you don’t like right now, be encouraged because God will use it for your good. Think about it this way: He wants you to be a light in the darkness – and He’s putting His confidence in you!
Joyce Meyer
It’s incredible to win an individual award in a team sport and also one where everybody wants to be able to say, ‘I’m the best.’
Kaka
I like meeting people on a genuine level. Like, ‘OK, if this person wants to meet me and I want to meet them, let’s do it.’ I don’t like forcing things.
Lil Peep
The patient’s autonomy always, always should be respected, even if it is absolutely contrary – the decision is contrary to best medical advice and what the physician wants.
Jack Kevorkian
I distrust those people who know so well what God wants them to do, because I notice it always coincides with their own desires.
Susan B. Anthony
That is what war is and dancing it is forward and back, when one is out walking one wants not to go back the way they came but in dancing and in war it is forward and back.
Gertrude Stein
A sound mind in a sound body, is a short, but full description of a happy state in this World: he that has these two, has little more to wish for; and he that wants either of them, will be little the better for anything else.
John Locke
At twenty a man is full of fight and hope. He wants to reform the world. When he is seventy he still wants to reform the world, but he knows he can’t.
Rodney Dangerfield
We should not be flying a flag of a group who wants to erase our history and bring mass destruction to our country through Communism.

Sooraj Pancholi
A man sees what he wants to see, And disregards the rest.
Paul Simon
Nobody wants to get rid of their life experiences – you are who you are because of them, no matter if they’re good or bad.
Jennifer Connelly
The government of the United States doesn’t want peace. It wants to exploit its system of exploitation, of pillage, of hegemony through war. It wants peace, but what’s happening in Iraq? What happened in Lebanon? Palestine? What’s happening? What’s happened over the last hundred years in Latin America and in the world?
Hugo Chavez
Poverty wants some, luxury many, and avarice all things.
Lucius Annaeus Seneca

Young Thug
What the American public wants in the theater is a tragedy with a happy ending.
William Dean Howells
Barack Obama wants to change America. Barack Obama wants America to be more like the rest of the world. We don’t want to be like the rest of the world. We want to be the United States of America.
Marco Rubio
The true man wants two things: danger and play. For that reason he wants woman, as the most dangerous plaything.
Friedrich Nietzsche
I don’t get recognised in London or at home either – very seldom anyway. Either that or I look so crazy no one wants to come up to me.

Charles Barkley
No person will make a great business who wants to do it all himself or get all the credit.
Andrew Carnegie
Jeff Wilson goes to a dark place every single game. It’s different than it is in practice. You can tell he’s angry, he attacks it, he wants contact, he deals contact. He delivers pain. It’s awesome. You can just see it in his eyes.
George Kittle
A fact is a simple statement that everyone believes. It is innocent, unless found guilty. A hypothesis is a novel suggestion that no one wants to believe. It is guilty, until found effective.
Edward Teller
People don’t want their lives fixed. Nobody wants their problems solved. Their dramas. Their distractions. Their stories resolved. Their messed cleaned up. Because what would they have left? Just the big scary unknown.
Chuck Palahniuk
I cannot believe in a God who wants to be praised all the time.

Vitali Klitschko
Everybody wants a robot that will do psychotherapy. But

Everybody wants a robot that will do psychotherapy. But If you don’t have empathy, you don’t have psychotherapy. The robot doesn’t know about life.
Sherry Turkle
Everyone wants instant everything, and they want instant success, but I always think you should treat things in the arts like a garden, and let them grow.
Penelope Keith
The interesting thing is when we design and architect a server, we don’t design it for Windows or Linux, we design it for both. We don’t really care, as long as we’re selling the one the customer wants.
Michael Dell
Capitalism has worked very well. Anyone who wants to move to North Korea is welcome.
Bill Gates

Jay London
As far as getting publicity whenever he wants it, Trump is the white Al Sharpton.
Jimmy Breslin
I don’t just want a better deal for Britain. I want a better deal for Europe too. So I speak as British prime minister with a positive vision for the future of the European Union. A future in which Britain wants, and should want, to play a committed and active part.

Victoria Osteen
Every account of a higher power that I’ve seen described, of all religions that I’ve seen, include many statements with regard to the benevolence of that power. When I look at the universe and all the ways the universe wants to kill us, I find it hard to reconcile that with statements of beneficence.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
It is not good to be too free. It is not good to have everything one wants.

Bill Gates
Nobody wants to kiss when they are hungry.
Dorothy Dix
When young players become one of the best in the world, everyone wants to sign them.

Bernie Sanders
I lost some weight, grew my hair and now every woman in America over 40 wants to date me. It’s their daughters I want to convince.
David Krumholtz
Who wants to live forever?
Freddie Mercury
Either you are extrovert or introvert, and so I am an introvert in that sense. I’m not a social person that wants to go to parties.
Gautam Adani
I like to make music, I like rap music. Even if I’m white, I support that music. If I want to support it or any other white kid wants to support it more power to them.
Kid Rock
God gave our first parents the food He designed that the race should eat. It was contrary to His plan to have the life of any creature taken. There was to be no death in Eden. The fruit of the trees in the garden was the food man’s wants required.
Ellen G. White
Anyone who wants to look at sunlight naturally wipes his eye clear first, in order to make, at any rate, some approximation to the purity of that on which he looks; and a person wishing to see a city or country goes to the place in order to do so.
Athanasius
I really like the idea of being a bit unpredictable. I’m known for being a nice, easy-going person with a straightforward exterior. So I think a bit of me wants to be sort of sly and devious.
Mark Haddon
Whoever wants peace among nations must seek to limit th

Whoever wants peace among nations must seek to limit the state and its influence most strictly.
Ludwig von Mises
I’m not a big fan of doing what my mother wants me to do, like any daughter.
Gabourey Sidibe
I think that it is mad that everything always has to have a label – whether it be the clothes by designers, or whether you are in a relationship or not. Everybody always wants to have that label when it is not always necessary.
A. J. Pritchard
I realize everybody wants what they don’t have. But at the end of the day, what you have inside is much more beautiful than what’s on the outside!
Selena Gomez
