‐‐ Claire Danes
I think because I became a mom later in life, everything in life means more.
‐‐ Mariska Hargitay
I think because I did a lot of modelling and appeared in lads mags a lot of women didn't necessarily warm to me. But now I have been through childbirth, post-natal depression and struggled with my weight, women seem to relate to me a lot more.
‐‐ Jennifer Ellison
I think because I did become a well-known face in my thirties and not in my twenties, I was pretty settled in my boots and I knew who I was. And I think there's a sort of Scottish thing, too, where you don't take yourself too seriously, and you don't get carried away with your own sense of self-importance.
‐‐ Ashley Jensen
I think, because I'm an artist, part of my job is to be a barometer, an antenna. It's in the air and it resonates with a lot of people to lighten up.
‐‐ Jane Siberry
I think because I'm not a parent, my most immediate connection to childhood is my memory of my own childhood.
‐‐ Spike Jonze
I think, because I started Virgin when I was a teenager, it has become a part of me, like my family, and I am motivated by ambition for it, almost as if it were a child.
‐‐ Richard Branson
I think because I try to keep things as real as I can, or I try to start from a place of reality, I almost don't have the imagination to write a book that's not set where I am.
‐‐ Maria Semple
I think, because I've been working for a while, I've been working since I was ten, I had the fortune of reading a lot, a lot of scripts.
‐‐ Ellen Page
I think because I've been working in front of audiences for so many years, I'm able to take in the input, good or bad, and just say, 'This is the part I agree with that you're saying, and these are the parts I don't agree with.'
‐‐ Mike Birbiglia
I think because I've maintained my residence in New York, those kinds of films have been more accessible.
‐‐ Gretchen Mol
I think because I was Miss World, and I modeled for a little while, I have - I just like heels, actually. I think that's the truth. I'm trying to find an excuse.

‐‐ Li Na
I think because my life is so insane and it's constantly going at 120 miles per hour, my favorite thing to do is sit at home in front of the TV and check out.
‐‐ Sean Hayes
I think because my parents died in their early 50s, mid 50s, I always thought I would die young. And that's been both a useful thing and I suspect something that's haunted me a little bit.
‐‐ Stephen Dunn
I think because of my background - I went through university and did an academic career and fell into acting - I've never had a game plan for my career because I got into it quite ad hoc.
‐‐ Rob James-Collier

I think because of their terrible past, particularly this century, the Chinese have come to accept cruelty more than many other people, which is something I feel very unhappy about.
‐‐ Jung Chang
I think because people are passing - people that we are aware of are passing at - I don't say a great pace, but it seems like people are dropping, and I think it's just making - there's a consciousness and there's sensitivity to it.
‐‐ Shemar Moore
I think because Skype is becoming so much more prevalent, and you're looking at someone else on a screen, it's going to work its way into movies and TV shows in all different ways, which I think is really cool.
‐‐ Jason Blum
I think because we could do it biologically and have our own child we decided to try this.

I think because we're such a trading nation, I think Canadians understand that first and foremost we're part of the global economy.
‐‐ Stephen Harper
I think becoming a scientist is the product of parents who gave me enormous opportunities to master nature.
‐‐ Barbara Block
I think becoming an actor because it's a ridiculously insecure profession to go into. I feel very comfortable but very lucky. I think any time that you imagine that it's plain sailing for hereon in, then you're kidding yourself.
‐‐ Hugh Dancy
I think before 'Saw' came along, there really wasn't a movie franchise that actually went out there and said, 'We're going to come out with one every year during Halloween and make that our trademark.'
‐‐ James Wan
I think behind closed doors people behave differently no matter what period we're looking at, because people have to stand up straight in public but can slouch behind closed doors - can you imagine wearing those corsets?
‐‐ Brenda Blethyn
I think behind every great man there's got to be a great woman, whether she's your wife, your girlfriend or not. I'm not gonna say that there's not that special girl out there. But I'm in the music biz, and I'm focused on the music.
‐‐ Prince Royce
I think Behind the Music is good for people like Leif Garrett and Motley Crue.
‐‐ Ronnie Spector

‐‐ Michel Hazanavicius
I think being a good dad is on the list of things to do. But, I will always ski, climb, surf, and be out in the mountains and oceans. It's who I am. My goal is to just keep doing it all and enjoying it.
‐‐ Jimmy Chin
I think being a guest star on an ongoing TV show can be a nightmare, and I've done it a lot. You're walking into this family who's very comfortable where they are, and you have to jump on the train and be artificially comfortable. That's a very hard thing to do.
‐‐ Janel Moloney
I think being a little nuts is helpful.
‐‐ Carter Burwell

I think being a movie star is about whether an audience can watch you and care about you.
‐‐ Tom Sizemore
I think being a mum gives you extra qualities. I'm more feisty, fiercely protective and less selfish. The main trait I want to instill in my kids is kindness. I think it's the most important thing. If you're kind, you'll go a long way.
‐‐ Rebecca Ferguson
I think being a parent is knowing how to love. Sometimes love is discipline, sometimes it's humor, sometimes it's listening.
‐‐ Melissa Etheridge
I think being a parent is the most challenging thing you do. That's why we're here. It's at the heart of what it is to be a human being. It's the ultimate experience because it questions everything about who you are. But it's difficult.
‐‐ Michael Sheen
I think being a partner with the studios and networks and, more importantly, being a great source for consumers to watch that programming is always going to be a part of our programming mix.
‐‐ Ted Sarandos
I think being a wealthy member of the establishment is the antithesis of cool. Being a countercultural revolutionary is cool. So to the extent that you've made a billion dollars, you've probably become uncool.
‐‐ Sean Parker
I think being a woman and writing frankly about violence has gotten me some attention, and as someone who wants people to read my books, I can't complain about that attention, but it does puzzle me that this is something reviewers focus on.
‐‐ Karin Slaughter
I think being a woman celebrity is the hardest thing in India... People will ask many things, what you wear, how you speak, when you will have a baby and other things.
‐‐ Sania Mirza
I think being a woman is like being Irish. Everyone says you're important and nice, but you take second place all the same.
‐‐ Iris Murdoch
I think being able to age gracefully is a very important talent. It is too late for me.
‐‐ Clint Eastwood
I think being able to really fall in love with someone is the craziest thing that could ever happen. You know, allowing yourself to really go there and really feel those things is extremely scary.
‐‐ Zoey Deutch
I think being ambitious, successful, powerful, making a lot of money - I don't care what color you are as a woman; it's difficult to find a mate. I think the natural order is that men want to be providers.
‐‐ Stephanie Allain
I think, being an actor, it's just a relief every time you get a part.
