As far as men of the past, I guess I’m comfortable looking at those roles and thinking that I want to be like them for the period of filming.

I love exploring the relationship between fathers and daughters. I think that’s a special thing, especially with daughters who are dealing with being adults. That’s fascinating to me.

Commitment is an act, not a word.
I’ve heard a lot of variation of similar questions, but it’s interesting to see the variations of audiences and how different people respond, so I think it’s all valid. I don’t take it personally at this point, which I probably would have at Sundance. But it’s really thrilling.

I get to thinking about my life, and it sometimes makes me want to make it interesting.
The ideals which have always shone before me and filled me with the joy of living are goodness, beauty, and truth. To make a goal of comfort or happiness has never appealed to me; a system of ethics built on this basis would be sufficient only for a herd of cattle.
One of the interesting things about “outsidership” is that underneath it there’s a longing to belong. I just wish the thing I refused to belong to – the species, Western capital culture – was a little more respectable.

Our friendship was like our writing in some ways. It was the only thing that was interesting about our otherwise dull lives. We were better off when we were together. Together we were a small society of ambition and high ideals. We were tender and patient and kind. We were not like the world at all.
The Analytical Engine does not occupy common ground with mere ‘calculating machines.’ It holds a position wholly its own, and the considerations it suggests are more interesting in their nature.
There’s a lot of muscles in your eyes even that you dont ever work, but little human traits like showing signs of exertion while running, you couldn’t do that.

Life is interesting. Non-life, not so much.
I really just enjoy listening to talk [to John Hurt and Charlotte Rampling]… not even about acting or anything. It’s interesting because I felt really connected to all these people very easily.

Possibly the most interesting first impression of my life came from the world of dreams.
Women in their 40s have gone through quite a few different things, and so the roles are going to reflect that. People say, ‘Oh, it’s done by 40,’ and now everyone knows it’s not. I actually feel like the roles are a lot more interesting.
How uninteresting interesting things can become.

I just really like the characte [Jasper Hale], and I love the story [Twiglight], I think it’s a very strong character and I respect him. It’s interesting; I respect the character that I play. I don’t understand it, but I do. That’s a good thing. I think so, I think so. I never felt like that before with a character.

The interesting thing about a lot of serialized television is that it’s a blessing and curse. Smart writers really take their time in investing in backstories and characters.

My first review for the TV movie The Bionic Showdown said I was as interesting as a bus ride.

The interesting thing for me is that everybody felt that I was really wild when i was unbalanced and desperate to communicate something and didn’t have a sense of purpose. But I’ve never been so crazy and wild as I am with my son or as I am now.

We all come from our own little planets. That’s why we’re all different. That’s what makes life interesting.
When I read educational articles it often seems to me that this important side of the matter, the purely personal side, is not emphasized enough; the fact that it is so much more agreeable and interesting to be an educated person than not.

If your mind is expansive and unfettered, you will find yourself in a more accommodating world, a place that’s endlessly interesting and alive. That quality isn’t inherent in the place but in your state of mind.

It is interesting just generationally that you see that people are much more comfortable, and that’s part of life now for this next generation of actors and just people in the world.

Same thing with harmonies. If you hear something that harmonically is interesting, express it. So that’s what I’m saying about talking the music rather than just playing through.
Love is an interesting thing. Perhaps I’ve never been in love before – I don’t really know? I think I have. I guess it’s subjective in that way.

The key thing about me is that I’m really not very interesting.
I suppose with any good writing and interesting characters, you can have that awfully overused word […] – a jouuuuuurney.
My sense of Los Angeles was very New York provincial, as in ‘all those people are crazy out there’ (which they are), and stupid (which they’re not), and immoral (it’s more interesting than that).

Screwing things up is a virtue. Being correct is never the point. I have an almost fanatically correct assistant, and by the time she re-spells my words and corrects my punctuation, I can’t read what I wrote. Being right can stop all the momentum of a very interesting idea.
I must say the more interesting songs to me were the black ones because they were more simple.
Sometimes I think I’m a really interesting guy.
Every story I read about Google is about us vs some other company, or something else, and I really don’t find that interesting. We should be building great things that don’t exist. Being negative is not how we make progress.
I’ve had a life that has taken many interesting paths. I’ve learned a lot from mentors who were instrumental in shaping me, and I want to share what I’ve learned.

The music has to be as interesting. It has to keep taking you into places that you’re at least not used to.
It’s a very interesting fight [Klitchko vs Tyson Fury] because this is the first time [Wladimir] Klitschko is fighting someone as big as him and with longer arms.

It’s interesting and somewhat dismaying how many people will look up to anyone who wins a multimillion-dollar lottery – but will deride anyone who has worked either hard or smart to attain prosperity and real success.
If I were not able to separate the art from the artists, I think I would limit myself a great deal, and life wouldn’t be nearly as interesting.
I love what I do, and for me, acting can be anything. It could be in America. It could be in India. It could be in England. It could be anything. As long as it’s an interesting part and an interesting opportunity, I would love to do it.
Obviously I find women more interesting than men to write about.
I think that there is philanthropy and there is publicity. If you can marry the two to do something good, then I think it’s great. Some of the other guys go around and slag people as a profession. That’s not so interesting to me, because it’s easy to take down, it’s harder to build.
Cats are so interesting – endlessly fascinating.
When you travel, people might not have the same ideas about what is interesting. I’m not really good at compromising when I travel.
The main aim of education should be to send children out into the world with a reasonably sized anthology in their heads so that, while seated on the lavatory, waiting in doctors‘ surgeries, on stationary trains or watching interviews with politicians, they may have something interesting to think about.
Television is interesting, in that the pace is quicker and you can see your work more quickly than with movies.

If things are too easy, life is a whole lot less interesting.

Political reporters no longer get to decide what’s news. The days when a minister gave briefings to a dozen lobby correspondents, and thereby dictated the next day’s headlines, are over. Now, a thousand bloggers decide for themselves what is interesting. If enough of them are tickled then, bingo, you’re news.
I’m always attracted to people who interest me. They’ve got to be people who are really true to themselves somehow, and who are always trying to do something that makes their life more interesting, or better, or something for somebody else. They’re interested in people.
I’m not trying necessarily to become a movie star; that wouldn’t be bad but that’s not the aim. I’m just trying to do interesting things and go into areas where I’ve not been before.

Go do something interesting. Ask if you need help.
I think the thing that has made it possible for me to write personal songs and sing them year after year is the sensibility for good writing. Just opening your veins all over the paper is not necessarily going to be interesting. I wanted to speak to people.

What is the most interesting thing to people? Other people.
It’s always dangerous to prescribe an idea on other people. I think people’s interactions with art are their own, and will be far more interesting and sophisticated than anything that I could come up with.

It’s much more interesting to try and understand what binds two people together. Why we stay with each other is much more of a mystery than why we don’t.
It is quite interesting that whilst there are tremendous theories, in the 1960s when IT was born, everybody was supposedly going to their cottage in the countryside to work in a virtual way.
Acting is probably the greatest therapy in the world. You can get a lot stuff out of you on the set so you don’t have to take it home with you at night. It’s the stuff between the lines, the empty space between those lines which is interesting.
Once there is the slightest suggestion of combinational possibilities on the board, look for unusual moves. Apart from making your play creative and interesting it will help you to get better results.
I did do some Shakespeare on film, it’s really difficult. It’s really interesting, because I was doing a series in Canada called ‘Slings and Arrows‘ and it was about a company based around the Stratford Festival.
I think it’s different in fashion, because even if I would be an outsider, I would still be in the middle of the whole world of contemporary fashion. But it’s interesting to think what outsider fashion could be. Does it mean to be completely disconnected from the regular system or just disconnected style-wise?
The work that’s interesting to me in other people is really confessional.
If there are challenges thrown across, then some interesting, innovative solutions are found. Without challenges, the tendency is to go on the same way.

It’s interesting, in the U.K., I’m known for doing comedy things, which often doesn’t translate to the U.S.
Formula One does very well. It is a very interesting asset. Could it be run in a different way? Sure it could be. Could it be improved? I’m sure it could. But all I can say is, it seems to do pretty well.
I keep trying to bring a more professional approach to New Zealand cricket. It’s an uphill battle. I stay in the game because I find it intriguing and interesting.

I hope to do films. Right now I’m just doing projects that are interesting.
What’s interesting about art in public spaces is that the public really sort of takes over and uses it in ways that you didn’t anticipate.
I sometimes find the surface interesting. To say that the mark of a good portrait is whether you get them or get the soul – I don’t think this is possible all of the time.
It’s always extremely interesting to speak at colleges. My books are taught in many colleges in America and are part of the educational system, so it’s really important to me. I don’t believe in so many things in life, but something I believe in is education.
I asked him a number of questions and I got some very interesting answers. Ken’s heroes, according to Christopher, would be people like John Wayne, of course.
I was a grad student at UC Berkeley when I bought my Apple II and it suddenly because a lot more interesting than school

I’ve had years of bizarre hallucinogenic magical experiences in which I believed I had communicated with entities that may well have been disassociated parts of my own personality or conceivably some independent entity of a metaphysical nature. Both would seem equally interesting.
I think it’s interesting that there’s always a dark cloud hanging over my character, in every movie. Even in Fat Man and Little Boy, where it’s a real dark cloud. In Mask, it’s more the judgment of others, but it’s still a threat.
The real contribution of Rihani consists in having given us, in both Arabic and English, what may be considered the most vivid and interesting account of common-day life as it is lived at present in the hitherto little known Arabia.

Krispy Kreme Doughnuts, everybody loves them. But I thought this was interesting on the box, ‘Konsult Kardiologist.
I have very little interest in endlessly telling people about my artistic process. It sounds like throwing yourself against a wall and crying. It’s not interesting to most people. It’s interesting to yourself. But it’s your problem, not anyone else‘s.
Red is such an interesting color to correlate with emotion, because it’s on both ends of the spectrum. On one end you have happiness, falling in love, infatuation with someone, passion, all that. On the other end, you’ve got obsession, jealousy, danger, fear, anger and frustration.
You can’t really discover the most interesting conflicts and problems in a subject until you’ve tried to write about them. At that point, one discovers discontinuities in the data, perhaps, or in one’s own thinking; then the act of writing forces you to work harder to resolve these contradictions.
It’s interesting to look at all the aspects where everyday Americans, many of whom are not college educated, are thinking deeply now about our economic structure.

I want to work on interesting parts that I can believe in.
When you do music, your friends are writers, actors, painters. It’s all under the sameroof. So anything creative is interesting to me.

And how fascinating history is – the long, variegated pageant of man’s still continuing evolution of this strange planet, so much the most interesting of all the myriads of spinners through space.
I’m always looking, as an actor, for activities. I think it’s far more interesting to watch what people do than what they say. You always want to watch behavior, because the dialogue as written by our illustrious leaders is great. Eminently playable.
The important thing for me is, and what I’d like people to know is that, one particular genre does not make it whole. There are many, many different genres and if you ever gave it an opportunity open mindedly, I think you’d find some pretty interesting things there.
Interesting little game we play with each other.
‘Lost in Translation‘ movie says something interesting about the alienation of being a stranger in a strange land, but also of being a celebrity. That kind of feeling of not being in the same strata as everyone else.

You know who would make an interesting murder-suicide? Madeline Albright and Yanni.
It’s very important to get out, to do reporting. It’s also really interesting. I come at it as a journalist, and I think that’s helped me, and I come at it as someone who sees nature wherever he looks, and that helps.
Good scripts and interesting stories are hard enough to find.
I’m interested in going places that I haven’t been. And I’m interesting in working with people that I feel are dangerous and sort of push me in different places.
I think you’re just always trying to find really great, interesting female roles. That’s the thing for me. You do have to think about what you’re signing up for.
It was interesting doing impressions as somebody else doing impressions. Normally, I’ll do a voice, and it’s me doing the voice. To have to be Robin Williams doing the voice was an interesting sort of study in getting into somebody’s head.
Generally speaking anybody is more interesting doing nothing than doing anything.
Mr. Fulbright hasn’t said anything new or interesting or clever in five years; his intellectual well dried up the day after Walter Lippmann stopped writing his regular column.

Correct is fine but it is better to be interesting
Prison opened my eyes to so many things. It was a great time. I met interesting people. I got to understand the behaviour of the police and the media. I am an observer of the human race.
One thing I wish I could tell my younger self: take photos of everyday life, not special occasions; later, that’s what will be interesting to you.
I want to venture into film more, and I think that a nice way to transition into doing that would be a documentary. I think it would be interesting to find one person that really fascinated me or maybe a band and travel with them, but I don’t think I could do it like I used to do it.
I want to play interesting women.
I spend a lot of time on Twitter, and it’s a very interesting place. People are so driven to aggression. To me it’s a funny thing. I grew up in an aggressive family, so I’m not at all intimidated by being verbally abused. I have no fear with words.
Until a character becomes a personality it cannot be believed. Without personality, the character may do funny or interesting things, but unless people are able to identify themselves with the character, its actions will seem unreal. And without personality, a story cannot ring true to the audience.
The most interesting part of my life is of no concern to the public.
As long as people want to see me in movies, and as long as I find it interesting, I’ll keep working.
If you can take it to the next level and really tell an interesting story in a unique and fresh way, then I feel like that’s a great song.
You’re always thinking, “What does that add up to?” You can’t really get a handle on it. I was curious. I felt like it would be an interesting challenge for me to write down what I’d seen and done and learned – all the convolutions captured in one item that I could look at and get some grip on what the hell happened.
Jung Min is extra friendly. Not meaning that his face/appearance is extra friendly, but his personality is very friendly and mature. At home, he often washes dishes. In dorms, he also cooks for everyone. He usually offers to help others and takes good care of everyone. He is a very outgoing and interesting friend.
In the end, what you do isn’t going to be nearly as interesting or important as who you do it with.
Little boys are still playing the game [baseball], more little girls are playing, and it is still the world’s most interesting game, a duel, a chess match, a foot race, a gymnastics exhibition, that rare opportunity for individuals to be recognized within a group effort.
I remember getting into the plane, and I was kind of fearful. I didn’t know why. I just felt like something was going to happen, and we landed and I thought that was interesting because I was just thinking we were going to crash. I just remember my feet touching the ground, and that’s all I remember.
I don’t love the idea of three superstars coming together to form a dream team, I’d rather teams are built more organically, just as a fan it’s more interesting to see.
The Confederations Cup is interesting. It served Spain very well to take part and then go on to win the 2010 World Cup. We knew the stadiums, the atmosphere, the conditions and also the difficulties of a tournament which simulated the World Cup format.
It’s interesting trying to make something as truthful as possible, but playing someone who is still alive is quite a weird thing.
It’s equally interesting and challenging to work on stage as much as movies.
It is sort of interesting that in our society this days we are very quick to apply the term ‘war’ to places where thare are no actual wars, and loath to apply the term ‘war’ when we are actually fighting wars.
I like being involved in interesting and creative things. I’d just rather be involved in creating it, rather than being in it.
I love the idea of documentaries. I love seeing documentaries, and I love making them. Documentaries are incredibly easy to shoot. The ease with which you can hear something’s going on, somebody’s going to be somewhere: That sounds so interesting. Pick up your camera and go.
The place smelled like Sam — or, I guess, he smelled like the store. Like ink and old building and something more leafy than coffee but less interesting than weed. It was all very … erudite. I felt surrounded by conversations I had no interest in participating in.
What is interesting is that John Lewis actually got interested initially in the civil rights movement because of a comic book. So part of it, he’s paying homage to this tradition that you can tell serious stories and talk about serious issues in graphic form.
I did take composition lessons when I was in high school, so I wrote piano pieces. I wrote some chamber music. I don’t think any of that was particularly interesting.
Human life is inherently creative. It’s why we all have different rГ©sumГ©s. … It’s why human culture is so interesting and diverse and dynamic.
One of the things that I learned in television, and one of the beauties of television, is that, if you have a strong writing staff, they rely on you just as much as you rely on them. They look to me or the other actors to help inspire them to take the character in interesting directions.
With Hollywood you’re yesterday‘s news if you get a flop at the box office. So you might as well be braced to have something else to do that’s interesting. Have something lined up to keep your stories fulfilled, and your ideas, because if you’re just cranking out movies three times a year.
No problem is so intractable that something interesting cannot be said about it.
The thing I respond to the most is just great writing, interesting characters. I like to think that there is something fun about playing a character that has a lot of authority in her own life.
Curious people are interesting people; I wonder why that is.
I did write a number of reports on my political experiences, but there were many omissions, and I feel bad about that because it was work that was interesting and had I written more about it, it could have been useful.
You must understand that violence in a movie is only a tool. If it’s used badly, it will be horrible. If it’s used correctly, it can be very interesting. But, essentially, it’s just a tool.
It’s also a question of finding good material and interesting roles. I’m not the only actress out there, and good parts just don’t fall into your lap that easily. But I like most of the films I’ve made recently and so I’m pretty positive about the future.
I’ve just never talked about it. But it’s so liberating. It was interesting to be coming to have a conversation that I was always afraid to have. This is my coming out ball. I’ve been dying to do this.
All interesting issues in natural history are questions of relative frequency, not single examples. Everything happens once amidst the richness of nature. But when an unanticipated phenomenon occurs again and again—finally turning into an expectation—then theories are overturned.
I realized I was not a great musical technician, if I was going to make anything interesting it would have to come from the creative side of me and not the craft side of me.
I think it’s interesting that people like Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi said that the Tea Party was dead and they weren’t influential and yet they’re still talking about the Tea Party.
As an actor, you want to do the best job possible, and you want the best scripts possible because it makes life more interesting.
I find it interesting that the meanest life, the poorest existence, is attributed to God’s will, but as human beings become more affluent, as their living standard and style begin to ascend the material scale, God descends the scale of responsibility at commensurate speed.
It’s the messiness of life that ultimately leads you to the most interesting things. Everyone asks what you would do over, and I don’t know because then you have this story to tell, and if you did everything over and made it perfect, what would you talk about?
The power of perpetuating our property in our families is one of the most valuable and interesting circumstances belonging to it, and that which tends the most to the perpetuation of society itself.
I thought physics could be done to the glory of God, till I saw there wasn’t any God at all and that physics was more interesting anyway. The Christian religion is a very powerful and convincing mistake, that’s all.
Its a little gross to put yourself in every song. I mean, how interesting do people really think you are?
It is interesting thus to follow the intellectual truths of analysis in the phenomena of nature. This correspondence, of which the system of the world will offer us numerous examples, makes one of the greatest charms attached to mathematical speculations.
For me to start working, projects have to catch my attention whether they are here (in the USA) or in Mexico. All I want is to be involved in projects that are interesting to me, projects that are a challenge wherever they may happen, in Spain, in China, or in Hollywood.
The interesting thing about overthinking and procrastination is sometimes they can actually evolve into innovation and creativity in the short term. Letting an idea grow in your mind in the short term with a deadline and a plan can actually lead to innovation and creativity.
A human being is only interesting if he’s in contact with himself. I learned you have to trust yourself, be what you are, and do what you ought to do the way you should do it. You have got to discover you, what you do, and trust it.
For me, it’s not about breaking big in Hollywood, but having interesting experiences.
It cannot be said often enough that science fiction as a genre is incredibly educational – and I’m speaking the written science fiction, not ‘Star Trek.’ Science fiction writers tend to fill their books if they’re clever with little bits of interesting stuff and real stuff.
Sometimes the picture is more interesting than what is going on. Sometimes the picture is suggestive of greater things in society or the history of what might be connected to the theme in the pictures and those are worth exploring.
Look, history is interesting. I read three books on George Washington last year. And my opinion is that if they’re still analyzing the first president, the 43rd president ought to be doing what he thinks is right. And eventually, historians will come and realize whether… the decisions I made made sense.
It was the challenge of that that I found daunting, but also engaging and interesting [to play Maigret].
I often really like to play with documenting my performances cinematically. Cinematic documentation is much more interesting than the performance itself.
If you’re not reading – with your heart as well as your brain – you will be one stupid grown up. Even worst, you’ll be missing out on one of the best experiences you can possibly have. Nowhere will you meet more interesting people than in books.
You have a more interesting life if you wear impressive clothes.
I was just mind-blown to find that New Orleans is just so much more fun and interesting than I had ever thought.
I thought it was interesting to see that Israel did not play a role in this revolution. The man on Cairo‘s Tahrir Square doesn’t want anything from me, but he does want something from his government. That’s a good sign.
The individual person is more interesting than people in general; he and not they is the one whom God created in His image.
The good thing about science is that it’s true whether or not you believe in it.
It’s just interesting how people relate my success when I would like to think that I worked my ass off for a reason and that it’s about the music and not because I was on a TV show.

Never cut what you can untie.

My only responsibility as a playwright and a storyteller is to give you the time of your life in the theatre. I just happen to think that with Hamilton‘s story, sticking close to the facts helps me. All the most interesting things in the show happened.
It is a different genre – a show about something other than doctors, lawyers and cops. Teachers are something completely different. I think it makes for very interesting television
I have always considered marriage as the most interesting event of one’s life, the foundation of happiness or misery.
Anything goes. You always find interesting things that way.
Having seen Justin’s work on Bleak House, I knew that he’d be incredibly well prepared and interesting stylistically for this and that was definitely the case. It’s very liberating for actors – and I can only speak for myself here – but he creates a very loose environment and he’s a great collaborator.
I measure the success of my work by the way I feel about a film before anyone else has seen it. I think I can trust myself to know when the work is good and deep and interesting and when it isn’t.
What a strange expression said the herbalist who would compare themselves to chopped liver in the first place? If you have to to choose an organ why not pick a gallbladder or a thymus gland instead? Much more interesting than a liver. Or what about chopped t-
LEAD, n. A heavy blue-gray metal much used … as a counterpoise to an argument of such weight that it turns the scale of debate the wrong way. An interesting fact in the chemistry of international controversy is that at the point of contact of two patriotisms lead is precipitated in great quantities.
I think CGI is interesting but it’s too expensive and limiting in terms of what you can do shot-by-shot.
Even while I’m really interested in playing female characters that are varied and interesting and dynamic, I’m not of the mind that you always want to play strong female characters. I think I just want to play characters that are interesting, and not all people are ‘strong.’
All really interesting girls invent themselves.
Being in darkness and confusion is interesting to me.
I watch the energy between the actors. That’s the most thrilling and interesting thing to me about watching a movie, what the actors are doing.
I love to hear stories about people who got to places where they are today. Those kinds of things are very interesting to me.
It’s a historical fact that the Stasi did horrible things and that they monitored a lot of people in East Germany, but I find it very interesting to think about the importance of the Western secret services back then and still working today.
I usually write away from home, in coffee shops, on trains, on planes, in friends’ houses. I like places where there’s stuff going on that you can lift your eyes, see something interesting, overhear a conversation.
One can lie, but truth is more interesting.
To make filmmaking interesting to me, I want to keep learning things.

It’s not knowing how to write that makes you interesting, it’s what you write.
Working with somebody who has a more interesting life than I do – and getting to take on that life temporarily – is an endlessly interesting way to have the experience of writing memoir.
