As much as I love to dance, and I still take class, aerobics and that sort of thing, and I still move very well and all of that - I'm really not a dancer anymore.
‐‐ Kelly Bishop
As much as I love to dive into the action early, I think the hero's journey is important - the idea that the reader needs to experience the protagonist's everyday life before you turn that world upside down.
‐‐ Kami Garcia
As much as I love to shop online, I also love walking the streets on a beautiful day and seeing what finds I can discover in a small shop or vintage store.
‐‐ Natalie Massenet
As much as I loved Jackie Robinson, Roy Campanella, Junior Gilliam, and Don Newcombe, I loved watching Willie Mays play more than all of them combined, even if he played for the 'bad guys!'
‐‐ Cheech Marin
As much as I loved the model of St. Francis, I realized that I couldn't afford to be poor, because unlike St. Francis, I'm not celibate. I was enlightened that God's call to me was not poverty but generosity and simplicity. And I had to go back to the lesson I learned from my parents: that is, simplicity.
‐‐ Bo Sanchez
As much as I'm drawn to writing about teenage girls, I like the idea of having the freedom to branch out and write about different ages, for different ages.
‐‐ Ann Brashares
As much as I'm enjoying stuff out here in Hollywood, I will always think of myself as a comic-book writer who does film and television, not a film and TV writer who occasionally does comics.
‐‐ Brian K. Vaughan
As much as I'm not a journalist, I use journalism. And when you photograph a relationship, it's quite wonderful to let something unfold in front of you.
‐‐ Annie Leibovitz
As much as I miss the work, I don't miss NBC. I don't miss being there. It was just the wrong atmosphere for me.
‐‐ David Gregory
As much as I thought the end of 'Friday Night Lights' was a really great ending, I was one of those people who wanted to make it into a movie. Even though it ultimately didn't work to do that movie, I did work with some of the other writers and by myself writing a script for that.
‐‐ Jason Katims
As much as I transferred my mother to Elizabeth Shore of The Black Dahlia, as much as her dad mutated into an obsession with crime in general, well, I have thought about other things throughout the years.
‐‐ James Ellroy
As much as I try, when I open my mouth, Lena comes out, And I get so mad.
‐‐ Lena Horne
As much as I value an union of all the states, I would not admit the southern states into the union, unless they agreed to the discontinuance of this disgraceful trade, because it would bring weakness and not strength to the union.
‐‐ George Mason
As much as I want to go out and tour every single day and I'm ready to rip it right now, there's five people in the band, there's five people who've evolved and grown and there's five people who have to get on the same page and want the same things, and it takes a lot to tour.
‐‐ Fred Durst
As much as I was encouraged by the number of female-centric shows being bandied about, it feels like we're being treated like a trend or a quota to be filled.
‐‐ Betsy Beers
As much as I would like to be the one who saved hip-hop culture, it's pretty much nigh-on impossible.
‐‐ Coolio
As much as I would love to be a person that goes to parties and has a couple of drinks and has a nice time, that doesn't work for me. I'd just rather sit at home and read, or go out to dinner with someone, or talk to someone I love, or talk to somebody that makes me laugh.
‐‐ Daniel Radcliffe
As much as it hurts, I would rather miss someone than hit someone.
‐‐ Brian Celio
As much as it might look like, to someone else, that I'm successful, I never feel like I'm anywhere. The further I go, I still feel equally further from my eventual goal. Because as I grow, I get more goals. I'm never content.
‐‐ J. Cole
As much as it's sometimes hard to make choices about where you invest, it's equally hard to make choices about where you don't invest and what you eliminate.
‐‐ Anne M. Mulcahy
As much as most of the actors were kind of curious to know what their character meant in relation to the script and to the plot, they really were quite happy to be part of the adventure of not knowing.
‐‐ Radha Mitchell
As much as movies are about the words that you're saying, they're also about what's not said, the silent moments.
‐‐ Dakota Fanning
As much as my kids keep me young, they also have the reverse effect when I don't have the energy.
‐‐ Naomi Watts
As much as my parents are part of Hollywood, I have no recollection of them giving me advice about it.
‐‐ Rashida Jones
As much as my parents were worried about me moving to London at 17, they could see that I was hungry to find my path. And it probably helped that they saw me succeeding at it, slowly but surely.
‐‐ Luke Evans
As much as Parkinson's is about movement, the end stage is being frozen. So the more I let that happen, the more I'm gonna be stuck within that and unable to reverse it.
‐‐ Michael J. Fox
As much as people are griping about the Internet taking sales away from artists, it's been a huge promotional tool for me.
‐‐ Al Yankovic
As much as people want to call me a bomb-thrower, look at my record.
‐‐ Joe Garcia
As much as possible, I'd like every role to be totally different from the one before.
‐‐ Richard Roundtree
As much as possible, I put my family first.
‐‐ Jill Soloway
As much as possible, I try to encourage people to use stunt men because that is really their job.
‐‐ Sam Neill
As much as technology has made me so much more efficient, enabling me to run a small but global company from where I happen to be, at times it feels like the technology is running me, as opposed to the other way round.
‐‐ Imran Amed
As much as the constitutional argument matters to me, what really matters to me is this sort of moral question of can we order somebody to risk their lives about a military mission if we're not willing to debate, vote, and say that the military mission matters?
‐‐ Tim Kaine
As much as the Democrats try to change the subject, this election will be about Barack Obama, period. Mitt's speech last night hit all the right notes, but this fight is not about him. He's just the vessel. Now the question is, does this guy at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. who thinks the private sector is doing fine get another four years?
‐‐ Howie Carr
As much as the glasses, it's the Englishness and the gangliness. The apparent lack of muscularity... they indicate I'm not a macho man.
‐‐ Louis Theroux
As much as the mystery element is all a lot of fun, when you do go to 'Edwin Drood,' you're going to a theatre to see a show about going to a theatre and what that relationship between actors and audiences has been for years.
‐‐ Rupert Holmes
As much as the next person, I want to be approved of, but I'm not greedy for that stuff.
‐‐ Colin Firth
As much as the Pulitzer is the hallmark of journalism, I think what I love the most is when somebody says they took my column and it's in their wallet. I have had people open their wallet and show me a corner of a column.
‐‐ Regina Brett
As much as they deny it, I think people want to be scared. It's a phenomenon, why people want to be scared when there is so much violence and craziness in the world. People still really enjoy being scared. It's a conundrum to me. It's hard to explain. It's an unconscious thing, really, why people like that so much.
‐‐ Dylan McDermott
As much as they'll let me I do my own stunts and I do all my own fighting.
‐‐ Jeffrey Donovan
As much as we all love playing live, it's not normal to be on the road all the time, to have no home.
‐‐ Gavin Rossdale
As much as we all talk about the future and how so many things are merging, there is a simplicity that is crucial.
‐‐ Ryan Seacrest
As much as we can, let's defend the truth by pointing to what the apostles taught, and let's call out sin by pointing to the inconsistencies between what we say we believe and what we do.
‐‐ John Piper
As much as we can, we want to prevent people from having to think about how to keep and share their stuff.
‐‐ Arash Ferdowsi
As much as we complain about it, though, there's part of us that is drawn to a hurried life. It makes us feel important. It keeps the adrenaline pumping. It means I don't have to look too closely at my heart or life. It keeps us from feeling our loneliness.
‐‐ John Ortberg
As much as we'd like to believe that our work is great and that we're infallible, we're not. Hollywood movies are made for the audience. These are not small European art films we're making.
‐‐ Harold Ramis
As much as we'd like to think life is sacred, there's not a lot of evidence for that. The universe is maddeningly casual, giving and taking it.
‐‐ Chris Crutcher
As much as we Egyptians treasure our military, acting alone it cannot provide the legitimacy to lay the foundations for democracy.
‐‐ Mohamed ElBaradei
As much as we love being sociable on holiday, part of me craves the idea of being away, staying in a hut on the beach, and maybe not seeing anyone for days apart from Jamie and the boys.
‐‐ Louise Nurding
As much as we love each other, there is some growing difficulty in my adult relationship with my father. Because we're both writers, we're having a very intimate conversation in a very public forum.
