I don't mean to sound bitter, cold, or cruel, but I am, so that's how it comes out.
‐‐ Bill Hicks
I don't mean to sound - I don't want it to come out funny, but I don't like show business. I love - I love acting in films. I love it.
‐‐ Gene Wilder
I don't mean to sound like a touchy-feely California type here, but I knew that I could finally get over the death of my father only by having kids of my own.
‐‐ Kara Swisher
I don't mean you have to be overbearing, but you have to stay on top of things - read the trades, know what's going on in the town. I call it 'dare to be stupid.' The worst thing they can say is, 'We got nothing for you.' So I've hustled a lot.
‐‐ Alex Rocco
I don't measure America by its achievement but by its potential.
‐‐ Shirley Chisholm
I don't measure my success anymore by the Grammys. I can't because I'll just end up crushed.
‐‐ Drake
I don't meditate before I play or compose, but I see playing and composing as meditative acts.

‐‐ Julian Lennon
I don't meet many people who are talking about shows on Showtime.

I don't mess around with my subconscious.
‐‐ Robert Rauschenberg
I don't micromanage, but I do care deeply about every product we make. Every one goes through me, and I try most of our products before they go to market, including our John Paul Pet flea and tick shampoo. If I don't like it, it's not coming out.
‐‐ John Paul DeJoria
I don't mind a big fascinator. I think there is more scope for artwork in a fascinator rather than a hat.
‐‐ Zara Phillips
I don't mind a crowd's not laughing; it's the groans that slow down the show.
‐‐ Dave Attell
I don't mind a dirty girl. But what I find tragic is when we, as women, become not the subject of our own story but someone else's object.
‐‐ Tori Amos
I don't mind a gut. In fact, I would prefer a guy to have a gut than be too built.
‐‐ Liz Vassey
I don't mind a little Sturm und Drang. When I was doing 'Riding in Cars With Boys,' I wouldn't smile at anybody, because my character, Bev, was angry at the world. I'm the opposite. Inside my head I'd be like, God, I'll explain to you at the end of shooting that I'm not this person.
‐‐ Drew Barrymore
I don't mind a repetitive chorus; I mind repetitive verse. I mean, it's the same amount of space. Why would you have only three diamonds if you can have six?
‐‐ Lou Reed
I don't mind about the boos from the audience.
‐‐ Vanessa Mae
I don't mind acting in Hindi films, but the script has to suit me. It has to be a boy-next-door role because that's the image I have in Tamil cinema.
‐‐ Dhanush
I don't mind aging - I'm glad to be aging. I'll never die young.
‐‐ Elizabeth Marshall Thomas
I don't mind America becoming a Third World country. The weather is better in the Third World than it is where I live in New Hampshire. And household help will be much cheaper.

I don't mind answering any questions, because I'm not just a fighter. I'm a lot more than that.
‐‐ Gina Carano
I don't mind anybody coming after me as long as they're coming with facts.
‐‐ Nelson Peltz
I don't mind anyone asking me any questions, I've got nothing to hide. I like it to be as real as it is, that's what I call an interview.
‐‐ Katie Price
I don't mind arguing with myself. It's when I lose that it bothers me.
‐‐ Richard Powers
I don't mind autograph hunters when I go down the fish and chip shop. As long as I get my chips.
‐‐ David Hemmings
I don't mind bees and think we are all the better for having them around. I like the taste of honey.
‐‐ Henry Rollins
I don't mind being 65, but nobody is gonna tell me to come in at 5:30 to have the early bird special.
‐‐ Alan King
I don't mind being a buffoon.
‐‐ Stewart Rahr
I don't mind being a Disney girl.
‐‐ Ashley Tisdale
I don't mind being a grandfather; I've been a mother for so many years. You just can't believe what it's like being a father. Especially when you come out of the chaos of the road to getting married and having children.
‐‐ Steven Tyler
I don't mind being a permanent nightmare for the United States.

‐‐ Tommy Douglas
I don't mind being a tourist at all, and a gawker. I just walk around.
‐‐ Ann Robinson
I don't mind being an only child; never have. I am lucky, though, that I have my friend Emily, who grew-up very close to me and so, there is someone I have shared memories with. I would miss that if I didn't have it, I think.
‐‐ Jennifer Ehle
I don't mind being black. I'm black out loud. It's more than the people that they are, it's the condition that they represent.
‐‐ Mos Def
I don't mind being called a puppet. But I'm the puppet of the people.
‐‐ Joko Widodo
I don't mind being called a weirdo.
‐‐ Nicki Minaj
I don't mind being called a weirdo. There are a lot of people in hip-hop who are probably never going to get what I do. But, by just being myself, I end up touching a lot more people who might never have paid much attention to a female rapper.
‐‐ Nicki Minaj
I don't mind being called snobbish, a pain and a social climber, but being called unkind really hurts.
‐‐ Rachel Johnson
I don't mind being called 'Supernova.' If one nickname is going to stick, that's not a bad one!
‐‐ Natalia Vodianova
I don't mind being cast as some kind of a pantomime baddie, but I am very fair in business. I always have been. I pride myself on being fair.

‐‐ Gil Scott-Heron
I don't mind being distracted.
‐‐ Ruth Rendell
I don't mind being distracted. I don't want to sit there in utter silence and type. If the phone rings, I usually answer it, speak for a few minutes and return to writing, or go for a walk in and out of the rooms. I don't mind a break.
‐‐ Ruth Rendell
I don't mind being goofy and silly. I love to make people laugh and I'm not self-conscious.
‐‐ Malin Akerman
I don't mind being identified as any character as long as I'm doing a good job as an actor. I have done all kinds of roles - from an editor, judge, police officer, murderer to a corrupt businessman.
