I think a book is often an account, or a series of accounts, that create a world that is sort of half of the world. There are references to a world, and then the reader supplies the other fifty percent.
‐‐ Jesse Ball
I think a book is your calling card, your business card.
‐‐ Kevin O'Leary
I think a book should be judged 10 years later, after reading and re-reading it.
‐‐ Umberto Eco
I think a book that is over 400 pages should be split in two. I don't know that there's anything that interesting that can go on for 700 pages. I think that is a little bit indulgent.
‐‐ Chris Abani
I think a British icon is someone who conducts themself with real dignity: someone who is truly talented and modest. These are things that I would aspire to in my career.
‐‐ Taron Egerton
I think a captain is someone who captains on the cricket field but, most of the leadership that happens is off the cricket field. It's very easy to captain people on the cricket field, but if you can start leading them off the cricket field, and show them that trust, what you have in them.
‐‐ Gautam Gambhir
I think a case could be made that there's sort of a crisis of masculinity in the West. Particularly with white males.
‐‐ Scott Thompson
I think a Celebrity Survivor would be great.
‐‐ Kathy Griffin
I think a certain amount of anger has been a fuel of mine, if you want - but also some sort of sadness, and plain mischief, of course.
‐‐ Siouxsie Sioux
I think a certain amount of stress in life is good. The stress of just working, which takes effort - I think it keeps you going.
‐‐ Anthony Hopkins
I think a challenge for myself is to see how many times I can get above 9,000. That would be a good challenge.
‐‐ Ashton Eaton
I think a child may be the only thing that could give me true happiness.
‐‐ Nicki Minaj
I think a child requires initial years of a mother's attention, which is very important, and I did it without any thought in the world. That's what I wanted to do.
‐‐ Karisma Kapoor
I think a child should be allowed to take his father's or mother's name at will on coming of age. Paternity is a legal fiction.
‐‐ James Joyce
I think a Christian definition of the mind should be: an openness to whatever the individual and collective mind reveals to us.
‐‐ Marilynne Robinson
I think a closet full of things would actually stress me out.
‐‐ Alexandra Kotur
I think a college education is important no matter what you do in life.
‐‐ Phil Mickelson
I think a comedian has to be low status on some level; that gives you the right to do all sorts of jokes about all sorts of different kinds of people.
‐‐ Stewart Lee
I think a common misperception about attuning and tending to a child's needs so constantly is that they don't grow in their independence, but I think that the opposite is true.
‐‐ Alanis Morissette
I think a composer is always interested in his last work.
‐‐ Gyorgy Ligeti
I think a conceptual idea comes to me first - something I've been mulling over a lot right before I feel like writing a book - and then the characters start to develop around it.
‐‐ Andrea Seigel
I think a construction project for me is like writing a novel. I can't do the project unless I can envision sort of the whole structure and see what the end result might be.
‐‐ David Bergen
I think a cosmetics company should be headed by a woman.
‐‐ Leonard Lauder
I think a couple should complete one another, not compete with one another.
‐‐ Marie Osmond
I think a craft becomes an art form when the space of possible solutions becomes so huge that engineering can't carry you through.
‐‐ Bill Budge
I think a cyber-terrorism attack is overblown, though the threat exists. I think al Qaeda and other groups are more interested in symbolic terrorism, like what they did to the World Trade Center - suicide bombers or something that really has an effect and is meaningful to people.
‐‐ Kevin Mitnick
I think a director can make a play happen before your eyes so that you are part of it and it is part of you. If you can get it right, there's no mystery. It's not about mystery. It's not even mysterious. It's about our lives.
‐‐ Mike Nichols
I think a duet with Janet is a great idea.
‐‐ Paula Abdul
I think a failed state is the responsibility of the people who have made that state fail, and those are generally the people of that country.
‐‐ Lakhdar Brahimi
I think a fair amount of my votes were 'not-for-Ortiz,' votes and I'm going to have to work hard to earn the 'for Blake' votes.
‐‐ Blake Farenthold
I think a father is important for everyone. If you don't have, then maybe not so much. In the world today, it's possible that you grow up with only one parent in the family.
‐‐ Jurgen Klopp
I think a few hundred years from now we'll start having the 'posthuman' era of different species.
‐‐ Martin Rees
I think a few pictures at a time.
‐‐ Vin Diesel
I think a fictional invention grows according to its own development, not the author's. Characters in fiction are not simply as alive as you and me, they are more alive. Becky Sharp, Elizabeth Bennett, and Don Quixote may not outlive the burning out of the sun, but they will certainly outlive the brief candle of our lives.
‐‐ Cynthia Ozick
I think a film is a failure if it doesn't have an emotional effect. That's the film's failure. Not if it doesn't deliver a message, but if it doesn't have emotional effect or visceral effect.
‐‐ Aunjanue Ellis
I think a film noir demands a beginning and an end.
‐‐ Claire Denis
I think a film set is a quite controlled environment and you feel like you can trust them and it is going to be a safe place to work, but I really don't think about it.
‐‐ Orlando Bloom
I think a film should have a gestation period of at least two or three years.
‐‐ Roland Joffe
I think a firm grip helps you control the club and prevents it from turning in your hands. Another thing about feel is, if you make a change in your grip, it takes time for your brain to adapt.
‐‐ Arnold Palmer
I think a first-time director always has to convince a lot of people that they're ready to do it.
‐‐ Dan Gilroy
I think a four-year ban would effectively rule out one Olympic games - a life ban is too harsh. I think everyone deserves a second chance. If you come back from missing one Olympic games and serving a four-year ban, you are a pretty determined and reformed character.
‐‐ Lynn Davies
I think a fragrance is all about sensations and imagery, and can evoke visions, feelings and thoughts.
‐‐ Shakira
I think a fragrance is more of a signature than even what you wear - something you'll remember more down the road than a shirt.
‐‐ Ryan Reynolds
I think a fundamentalist is somebody who believes something unshakably and isn't going to change their mind.
‐‐ Richard Dawkins
I think a game hits a high point when it provokes reactions the designer doesn't expect.
‐‐ Brenda Brathwaite
I think a generation ago, dads went to work, they came home, and they had their dinner, had a drink, and then went to bed. I don't know what it was like in your house, but that is how it was in mine. I think it is cool to have the dads in the trenches and doing the real parenting work.
‐‐ Zach Cregger
I think a gentleman is someone who holds the comfort of other people above their own. The instinct to do that is inside every good man, I believe. The rules about opening doors and buying dinner and all of that other 'gentleman' stuff is a chess game, especially these days.
‐‐ Anna Kendrick
I think a girl always needs a cardigan, and I tend to go for the sparkles. I have a minimum of 50 embellished cardigans. I'm not a believer in less is more; I'm sort of a believer in more is necessary.
‐‐ L'Wren Scott
I think a girl looks good when she wakes up with nothing on her face.
‐‐ Jackson Rathbone
