I look at my grandparents and what they dealt with in the Japanese internment in Arizona. That sense of perseverance, of making the best out of an incredibly bad situation, has always been something I drew inspiration from. I always ask myself, 'What in the world do I have to complain about?'

I look at my jersey and see the NBA logo, I'm like, 'I didn't think I'd be here.'
‐‐ Kevin Durant
I look at my little girl and I wonder what she's going to be and what she's going to do and what is it that leads girls certain directions in life. I think a lot of that goes back to what kind of father they had, and so it makes me want to be the best dad I can possibly be.
‐‐ Jake Owen
I look at my movies; I call my movies 'the kid.' It's like I'm giving birth. I'm in the cocoon, you know?
‐‐ Lee Daniels
I look at my music in the beginning, and the sexual songs, the partying songs, those are the realities because those things happen.
‐‐ R. Kelly
I look at my paintings for a very long time before letting them out of my studio. I like to get on the treadmill and look around at all of my paintings while I exercise. I try to stare them down to make them reveal their weaknesses. If they reveal weaknesses, they get repainted.
‐‐ Sean Scully
I look at my pictures, and I think, 'Well, how did I do that?'
‐‐ Howard Hodgkin
I look at my son and his relationship to technology, and I think back to when I was six and how wildly different the world is in that regard. I see him using an iPhone and all this stuff, and then I think back to when I was six. We didn't even have computers in our houses at all yet. This is a huge gap between our experiences as children.
‐‐ Jeff Lemire
I look at my Twitter feed sometimes, and there's just people tearing apart other performers.
‐‐ Megan Hilty
I look at my voice and my abilities as a gift. I don't feel that I can even take any credit for it, but it's such a huge presence in my life. It is my life. It's my identity, it's everything. And it's given me a great deal of joy and a sense of purpose - I can't imagine my life without it.
‐‐ Emmylou Harris
I look at myself, and how much I've gotten just because I play a sport well.
‐‐ Angela Ruggiero
I look at myself, and I see a Spanish person who's trying to be understood by an English-speaking audience and is putting a lot of energy into that, instead of into expressing himself freely and feeling comfortable.
‐‐ Javier Bardem
I look at myself and pick out the things I don't like. No matter how much I work out, I never get muscle tone in my butt and hip area.
‐‐ Tyra Banks
I look at myself as a game-changer, and I try to make that a facet of my game.
‐‐ Lawrence Timmons
I look at myself as an audience member. I still love movies, and I still go and sit in the back of the big dark room with everybody else, and I want the same thrill.
‐‐ Samuel L. Jackson

‐‐ Fernando Alonso
I look at myself as the luckiest man alive.
‐‐ Mario Andretti
I look at myself like a show dog. I've got to keep her clipped and trimmed and in good shape.
‐‐ Dolly Parton
I look at myself more as a storyteller than a screenwriter, as pretentious as that may sound, but that's what really attracts me to TED Talks. For me, the really effective ones are being presented by expert storytellers.
‐‐ Damon Lindelof
I look at myself objectively and in a way I see myself as a commodity. Your name becomes somehow outside yourself. Now, when I'm at home being Mrs. Scarfe, that's when I'm most myself.
‐‐ Jane Asher
I look at old interviews and things and they say, 'What do you want to do when you grow up?' I say, 'I want to be a producer.' And I'm really fortunate that I was able to do it.
‐‐ Shaun Cassidy
I look at old performance videos now, and it's really funny - I thought I was such a gangster!
‐‐ Becky G
I look at old photos of me, and I don't feel connected to them at all.
‐‐ Mary-Kate Olsen
I look at ordinary objects, and I see things that other people don't see. That's why I'm a photographer.
‐‐ Ruth Bernhard
I look at other filmmakers and see skills in them that I wish I had but I know that I don't. I feel like I have to work really hard to keep myself afloat, doing what I do. But I find it pleasurable.
‐‐ Steven Soderbergh
I look at other members of my generation who have basically done one thing, and one thing well, and have been handsomely rewarded for it.
‐‐ Billy Corgan
I look at other people my age in this industry, other famous people my age, and they've just got famous friends. Which is cool, but I love being normal and just chilling at mine.
‐‐ Maisie Williams
I look at people, and I like to laugh at them.
‐‐ Jeff MacNelly
I look at people in certain circumstances, and I fall into caretaker mode real quick, real easy. I like to shoulder people up and carry them along, and then I end up creating some kind of dependency. I enable. It's really, really hard for me.
‐‐ Paul Walker
I look at people like Picasso and Da Vinci and Escher and Miles Davis, and they'll write or paint that one definitive masterpiece of maybe 50 that they have that's really trying to go outside the box, trying to do something that's tough. And then when you accomplish it, you look back and go, 'Yeeaaaah - masterpiece.'
‐‐ Lupe Fiasco
I look at power as the ability to get people motivated and to get them to do things that maybe they don't think are important but, in the end, are in pursuit of something greater than themselves.
‐‐ Anne Sweeney
I look at raising funds for The Perlman Music Program as a challenge and as a way to provide opportunities for people who care about the future of classical music.
‐‐ Itzhak Perlman
I look at rap as an opportunity to act. My head is full of different characters - in each song I'm auditioning a character.
‐‐ Nicki Minaj
I look at scripts really for whether they can be moving or penetrate some kind of truth. You are constantly chasing that feeling as an actor when every part of a production comes together.
‐‐ Chiwetel Ejiofor
I look at Seinfeld - he looks like he's having fun. He's just enjoying being Jerry Seinfeld, you know, on 'Seinfeld.'
‐‐ Jerrod Carmichael
I look at singing and acting as one career, and I love the chance to do both in the same project. I need to do both. When I'm doing one, I miss the other.
‐‐ Vanity
I look at smoking as a crutch, and as an actor I would like strip away as many crutches as possible.
‐‐ Claire Forlani
I look at some of my early stuff - back when I was 12 or 13 years old - and I was already doing cross-hatching back then. I don't know where I picked that up. I think I was in a hurry, and I wanted to shade something really fast, and I tried cross-hatching a shadow.
‐‐ Bill Plympton
I look at some of the old villains in the Disney movies. If you really listen, you can hear some of the villains or some of the supporting characters, they use the voices over and over because they were so versatile in the way that they performed on voiceovers.
‐‐ Jennifer Stone
I look at someone like Kathryn Bigelow, and I have so much admiration. She's playing in the boy's sandpit, and winning.
‐‐ Lena Headey
I look at something like 'Short Term 12,' and that character has a lot of pain, and I wouldn't have known how to portray that if I hadn't experienced pain myself.
‐‐ Brie Larson
I look at Syracuse and I love the way that the coaches say they'll use me in their offense. I really like the family atmosphere there and I feel really comfortable there.

I look at tennis as a bit of a platform to hopefully touch lives and encourage people.
‐‐ Michael Chang
I look at tens of thousands of church leaders who still do need a bit of an awakening.
‐‐ Bill Hybels
I look at that 10 PGA Tour wins, and I say to myself, 'That's not enough,' and it isn't enough for me. It's just 10. I want more than 10.
‐‐ Jason Day
I look at that person and I'm like, That's not Kelli White. That's not who I am, who I started out to be.
‐‐ Kelli White
I look at the artistic process as like experiencing the world, channeling it through your personality and sending it back out there. That's the process.
‐‐ David Sanborn
I look at the camera as sort of a missing link between motion picture photography and still photography.
‐‐ Jeff Bridges
I look at the car park and myself and Dave Watson come in with our old cars, and these young lads come in with their new Porches. I think that society has changed, there seems to be a lack of respect nowadays.
‐‐ Richard Gough
I look at the careers of people I'm standing on the shoulders of. People like Lena Horne, Ella Fitzgerald, Sammy Davis Jr., and Sarah Vaughan. These are icons I wanted to emulate, and I feel like they've been holding me up for quite a long time.
‐‐ Dionne Warwick
