I admire directors so much, I find them incredible: they manage such a huge number of people of different characters, think of the money involved.
‐‐ Catherine Deneuve
I admire Elliott Carter endlessly. But I have no ambitions to emulate him.
‐‐ Andre Previn
I admire Eudora Welty. 'Delta Wedding' is a book I've given as a present to numerous women. Eudora Welty rocks. She writes such jewel-like, fine, refined short stories.
‐‐ Nell Zink
I admire fashion and I respect it greatly, but I don't necessarily follow trends. I never really have. I just wear what I like to wear. I really like colors, and there are some things I wear and don't care what anybody says about it being in style or not. I wear it anyway.
‐‐ Condola Rashad
I admire Ginsberg as a poet, despite the fact that he seems not to know when he is being good and when he is bad. But he will last, or at least those poems will last.
‐‐ Leslie Fiedler
I admire Grover Norquist. I think he's done a lot of good.
‐‐ Tom Cole
I admire her so much, but I'm not the next Kate Upton.
‐‐ Charlotte McKinney
I admire him so much; if I was ever going to have a dude-crush, it would be on George Clooney. I mean, I don't think you can avoid it. It's like a superpower - he just sucks anybody in around him.
‐‐ John Krasinski
I admire honesty more than any other trait.
‐‐ Jerry Reinsdorf
I admire James Franco. I admire somebody like Jack Nicholson. Anyone who just does movies for the sake of making movies and takes big risks.
‐‐ Jack Kilmer
I admire Jodie Foster. Her head is screwed on really well. It's not loose at all.
‐‐ Thora Birch
I admire Johann Strauss a lot. I believe he was a genius of his time.
‐‐ Andre Rieu
I admire Kings of Leon. I think their records are amazing. Just from hanging out with them, I can say they're good guys. It's cool to see that they get to do what they love. But I think they clearly have an appreciation for where they came from, and it has shaped who they are.
‐‐ Nick Jonas
I admire law enforcement agents who put their lives on the line to enforce the law while building trust and understanding within a community and around the world. I honor those who seek justice for all the people of this country.
‐‐ Janet Reno
I admire Madonna because she always did whatever she felt like doing. She went through some controversial periods when people rejected her, but she kept on reinventing herself.
‐‐ Shakira
I admire many actors, though I don't think there's anyone whose career I would want to mirror sort of by the beats. What I'm really looking to do is constantly defy expectations. I'm very curious to see if you can actually have a character actor and a movie star's career combined.
‐‐ David Oyelowo
I admire many people, but I am not sure that I have any 'heroes.'
‐‐ Dalia Mogahed
I admire Meryl Streep and Dustin Hoffman for their sheer dedication to their craft.

I admire Miken's exceptional engineering capabilities and was drawn to their passion for hockey and drive to be the best in all they do.
‐‐ Brett Hull
I admire my father greatly.
‐‐ Kojo Annan
I admire my fellow judge Paul Hollywood enormously, though we often argue. He believes presentation and uniformity are paramount; I'm more interested in taste. I don't mind if one bun is smaller than the others, or if there's a little pastry cracking, though I don't want a soggy bottom.
‐‐ Mary Berry
I admire my mother for being a single mum. It's ridiculously hard.
‐‐ Holliday Grainger
I admire my mother. She raised four kids and worked and had no help.
‐‐ Jane Leeves
I admire natural, untouched beauty.
‐‐ Theophilus London
I admire Obama.
‐‐ Nicola Sturgeon
I admire our ancestors, whoever they were. I think the first self-conscious person must have shaken in his boots. Because as he becomes self-conscious, he's no longer part of nature. He sees himself against nature. He looks at the vastness of the universe and it looks hostile.
‐‐ John Shelby Spong
I admire Pat Shortt as a businessman. Such acumen is unusual for an entertainer. He did all his own deals. I learnt a lot from Pat when I was on the road with him for a year.
‐‐ Deirdre O'Kane
I admire people like Kristen Wiig, who is hilarious but also does a lot of really cool films. I would love to have a career like hers.
‐‐ Victoria Justice
I admire people like Warren Buffett that are donating so much money to charity.
‐‐ Bethenny Frankel
I admire people's marriages, and I think it's a wonderful thing to have, but I don't think it's the only way to live. I think there are many ways to live and many ways to establish intimate support in your life that can be from family or friends or great roommates that you like.
‐‐ Linda Ronstadt
I admire people who are, by nature, kind and fair to others.
‐‐ Sidney Sheldon
I admire people who are creative.
‐‐ Luise Rainer
I admire people who can step out on their own and work alone - that takes a lot of guts. But I'd rather have the camaraderie on and off camera of working as a part of a group.
‐‐ Sarah Baker
I admire people who come to politics because it takes a lot of courage to be in politics in India.
‐‐ Shekhar Kapur
I admire people who dare to take the language, English, and understand it and understand the melody.
‐‐ Maya Angelou
I admire people who have that integrity, who know how to peacefully move through a situation - and it's reflected in how they deal with things like loss.
‐‐ Patrick Wang
I admire people who just do the right thing, not looking to screw people up. I love all people.
‐‐ Jessica Hahn
I admire people who overcome obstacles or who have to commit - I've always really admired commitment, whether it be a commitment to living or a commitment to love. People who commit to a moment. People who are not somewhere else, but in the room with you.
‐‐ Anne-Marie Duff
I admire people who re-create themselves. And it seems to me that what gives us all the opportunity to be heroic in our own lives is that we work to heal ourselves and be better than we were yesterday.
‐‐ Robert Crais
I admire personalities. Some politicians who are only great mice are just persons.
‐‐ Milos Zeman
I admire politicians. It is a really tough assignment, and I would fall at the first fence.
‐‐ Joanna Lumley
I admire pop songs that are perfect at three minutes.
‐‐ David Ives
I admire President Chavez for his strength to resist the United States. Instead, Bush is waging a war of terrorism against the world.
‐‐ Cindy Sheehan
I admire President Obama's class and measure.
‐‐ Hart Bochner
I admire Ralph Nader and Denis Kucinich very much, and insofar as they bring up issues and carry out an educational and organisational function - that's important, and fine, and I support it.
‐‐ Noam Chomsky
I admire Rihanna.
‐‐ Rita Ora
I admire runners older than I - they are now my heroes. I want to be like them as I grow older.
‐‐ Frank Shorter
I admire sensible, kind people. They're not often famous.
‐‐ John Malkovich
I admire someone like Beyonce. She has amazing commitment. I needed to accept that I probably did not fit into that forum. Doing that 'The Cherry Thing' record was a big part of finding that place where I belong, where I may shine, but I never doubted it was there.
‐‐ Neneh Cherry
