I am incrementally a pessimist, but I see the international debate that Edward Snowden has engendered, and I think this is exactly where the discussion should be. So, I would say I'm more optimistic than pessimistic.

‐‐ Pietro Aretino
I am indeed amazed when I consider how weak my mind is and how prone to error.
‐‐ Rene Descartes
I am indeed completely nuts, but that doesn't mean I don't care about how I look. Sometimes, I admit, I will privilege appearance over comfort.
‐‐ Russell Smith
I am indeed rich, since my income is superior to my expenses, and my expense is equal to my wishes.
‐‐ Edward Gibbon
I am indeed willing to acknowledge what I have done, an error and presumption. I will call it an error and presumption because I swerved from the accustomed flowery paths of female delicacy.
‐‐ Deborah Sampson
I am Indian, and I'm proud of it. Indian life is mythologically rich and powerful.
‐‐ Anish Kapoor
I am Indian, and my home is Kampala. My world is already diverse. But films are financed by those who want to see themselves on screen, and it is a white male world. Still, it does feel like America is waking up. Let's hope it's the start of an avalanche.
‐‐ Mira Nair
I am infinitely grateful to the life which privileged me.
‐‐ Jacky Ickx
I am influenced by books which don't have their eye on the endgame, but which try to be entertaining on each and every page.
‐‐ Steve Toltz
I am inherently a little brother - that's just my nature. It has to do with my sister being very strong and wanting to protect me. It's the natural order of things.
‐‐ Jake Gyllenhaal
I am innately very shy, and I have struggled with that challenge for years.
‐‐ Sheri L. Dew
I am innocent of the blood of this just person; see ye to it.
‐‐ Pontius Pilate
I am insanely superstitious. All the woman in my family are, beginning with my grandmother, who would leave red ribbons under the beds and taught us how to find four-leaf clovers.
‐‐ Jandy Nelson
I am insecure... because I have to think about what I look like every day.
‐‐ Cameron Russell
I am insecure. Everyone's insecure.
‐‐ Manolo Blahnik

‐‐ Kate Winslet
I am inspired by all kinds of players and singers.
‐‐ Al Jarreau
I am inspired by anything beautiful. Sometime it's a pair of eyes or flowing gorgeous hair, other times it's the sky or a sunset. I've been inspired by supple skin or the texture of a soft shirt.
‐‐ Nadine Velazquez
I am inspired by both Japanese Samurai films, in particular the films of Kurosawa, and how they share the spirit of American Westerns, with the influences running in both directions, and including the 'Spaghetti Westerns' and films of Sam Peckinpah.
‐‐ Ann Nocenti
I am inspired by human sexuality. The act itself is mechanical and holds little interest to me.
‐‐ Jerzy Kosinski
I am inspired by life, past experiences, what's to come, women around me, art, colors, paintings, and emotions.
‐‐ Rachel Roy
I am inspired by many mediums and use them to express varied aspects of my philosophies and life observations.

‐‐ Paloma Faith
I am inspired by the appearance of a bohemian of the new millennium.
‐‐ John Malkovich
I am inspired by the lives of good and faithful women. From the beginning of time, the Lord has placed significant trust in them.
‐‐ Margaret D. Nadauld
I am inspired just by the way a scene can be interpreted by the actors. It can make a huge difference on the type of music that you write. It's best for me if I don't work at all on a project until the movie is shot and I have some sort of edit in front of me.
‐‐ Marco Beltrami
I am instinctively a network infrastructure plumber.
‐‐ Audrey MacLean
I am insubordinate by nature. I can't help it.
‐‐ Esperanza Spalding
I am interested in 18th century natural philosophy, science, particularly botany, the study of hybridity in plants and animals, which, of course, then allows me to consider the hybridity of language.
‐‐ Natasha Trethewey
I am interested in a lot of things - not just show business and my passion for animals. I try to keep current in what's going on in the world. I do mental exercises. I don't have any trouble memorizing lines because of the crossword puzzles I do every day to keep my mind a little limber. I don't sit and vegetate.
‐‐ Betty White
I am interested in agricultural corporations and how they function. The idea that they own the genetics of our food supply is a really compelling thing to me.
‐‐ Paolo Bacigalupi
I am interested in all things that celebrate and enhance the female form.
‐‐ Christian Louboutin
I am interested in anything about revolt, disorder, chaos-especially activity that seems to have no meaning. It seems to me to be the road toward freedom... Rather than starting inside, I start outside and reach the mental through the physical.
‐‐ Jim Morrison
I am interested in art as a means of living a life; not as a means of making a living.
‐‐ Robert Henri
I am interested in being in pictures that I would like to see.
‐‐ Burt Lancaster
I am interested in classic building development, such as hotels and residential homes, rather than commercial properties.
‐‐ Yelena Baturina
I am interested in communicating with the world by selling to many people.
‐‐ Miuccia Prada
I am interested in costume. Clothes in your daily life are important: your choices say something about you, even if what they're saying is about non-choice. And what you wear in a film is crucial.
‐‐ Clemence Poesy
I am interested in getting people to use the healthcare system at the right time, getting them to see the doctor early enough, before a small health problem turns serious.

‐‐ Tim Hunt
I am interested in how human beings react to crisis and conflict.
‐‐ Garry Shandling
I am interested in ideas, not merely in visual products.
‐‐ Marcel Duchamp
I am interested in imperfections, quirkiness, insanity, unpredictability. That's what we really pay attention to anyway. We don't talk about planes flying; we talk about them crashing.
‐‐ Tibor Kalman
I am interested in levels of brain discourse. How articulate are the voices in your head? You know, there's a different voice for the phone, and a different voice if you're talking in bed. When you're starting off with a narrator, it's interesting to think, where is their voice coming from, what part of their brain?
‐‐ Anne Enright
I am interested in mathematics only as a creative art.
‐‐ G. H. Hardy
I am interested in names and what they say; it is true. I like to look at the columns of baby names in the newspapers. But I don't run out of new ones for my characters.
‐‐ Ruth Rendell
