I think sometimes writers can get themselves into trouble trying to exert a totally controlled and super-knowing tone. This kind of knowingness is not the most promising tone to be sustained throughout a novel, to have a young woman who understands everybody and is always reading a room perfectly.

I think sometimes you are born with a song.
‐‐ Nana Mouskouri
I think sometimes you can study guys and build them into giants that they are not.
‐‐ Ryan Hall
I think sometimes you have high expectations for people because you have high expectations for yourself.
‐‐ Gisele Bundchen
I think sometimes you just need to play in this league. As a rookie coming out of college, you don't understand the real significance of being a pro unless you're playing other pros. It doesn't help you to play sporadically here or there.
‐‐ Michael Cooper
I think somewhere along the way I realized, 'O.K., no one's gonna care about a chubby Jewish dude rapping.' I realized I'd be better behind the scenes.
‐‐ Benny Blanco
I think somewhere in the back of my mind I've always wanted to make a whole swing album.
‐‐ Suzy Bogguss
I think songs and visuals are so evocative of each other.
‐‐ Aleksa Palladino
I think songwriters are more related to fiction writers. The Odyssey was a story in song. To me, that's so beautiful, all those painted characters, all those travels and adventures.
‐‐ Regina Spektor
I think songwriting is the ultimate form of being able to make anything that happens in your life productive.
‐‐ Taylor Swift
I think soon after I became director of the CIA - President Obama pulled me into the Oval Office and said: 'Look, I just want you to know that your top priority is to go after Osama bin Laden.'
‐‐ Leon Panetta
I think 'Soul Food' had the biggest impact on me because that's where I was really able to shine as an actress and because I also met my husband there, and that was a huge turning point in my personal life. So, that show will stick with me forever and ever and ever.
‐‐ Nicole Ari Parker
I think soul is soul. I don't see new soul as any different to old soul.
‐‐ Paloma Faith
I think soul will always find its way into what I'm doing. It just comes from my root.
‐‐ Sam Dew
I think South Africa has shown it can host such a big event as the World Cup, so why not hold the Olympics at some point in Africa? Maybe not just in one country but in a host of countries.
‐‐ Jochen Zeitz
I think space, architectural space, is my thing. It's not about facade, elevation, making image, making money. My passion is creating space.
‐‐ Peter Zumthor
I think space exploration is very important. I think there is very intelligent life on Mars. I believe that Martians are spying on us from the bottom of the ocean.
‐‐ Annabella Sciorra
I think space will be conquered through the mind rather than the clumsy medium of space travel.
‐‐ Patrick Troughton
I think Spain will always remain inspirational, and I think French cuisine will continue to be very French and yet very relevant with its time and keep evolving. But the last thing you want for it is to become too trendy and confusing. It has too much history.
‐‐ Daniel Boulud
I think specifically because of the character that I played, people are very connected to her. I used to get letters from young gay and lesbian and trans-gendered kids saying, 'I didn't kill myself because of Buffy'.
‐‐ Amber Benson
I think speculative fiction has fewer unspoken prerequisites than literary fiction for writers of color.
‐‐ Nnedi Okorafor
I think 'Spider-man' is a pop culture rock show that was meant to be in arenas.
‐‐ Michael Cohl
I think spirituality is a good thing but I dislike any sort of dogmatic organization.
‐‐ Noah Taylor
I think spontaneous and free reactions are the most natural.
‐‐ Juan Diego Florez
I think sport in general affects what people see in movies. I always try to explain to people in Hollywood that we have to make movies more like sport because, in sport, everything can happen and it's so much better than movies in some ways.
‐‐ Roland Emmerich
I think sports and bodybuilding were the only things that saved me from getting beat up. People are not pleased, for whatever reason, when you can answer all the questions in class. If not for the respect I got from track, cross-country, wrestling and bodybuilding, it would have been a disaster.
‐‐ Aaron Patzer
I think sports are extremely beneficial for our youth. They parallel life in so many ways.
‐‐ Kerri Strug
I think sports is one of the places where race plays itself out publicly. Although we pretend it doesn't.
‐‐ Claudia Rankine
I think sports makes for good drama because it has all the same ingredients as anything worth reading or listening to or watching. Conflict, desire, heartbreak - it's all there.
‐‐ Jay Baruchel
I think sportsmanship is knowing that it is a game, that we are only as a good as our opponents, and whether you win or lose, to always give 100 percent.
‐‐ Sue Wicks
I think standing and fighting and working alongside all of these people that raise their right hand and serve their nation... really wipes away the distractions of some of the petty things we think are important at home.
‐‐ Pete Hegseth
I think Star City should have Unesco World Heritage status. It will need to be adapted a little bit and made more glamorous than it looks now, but it should definitely be protected for the future.
‐‐ Valentina Tereshkova
I think Star Trek has been very double-edged for all of us - as actors, writers, directors.
‐‐ Jonathan Frakes
I think 'Star Wars' always has to be bigger and bigger and better every time, and there's a great cast on 'The Force Awakens.' It's ground-breaking.
‐‐ John Boyega
I think Starbucks created a platform and, ultimately, a runway for many other companies to emulate. I suspect if we had not achieved what we have, there would have been many regional brands that would have succeeded. But I'm not sure there would have been a national brand of the scope of Starbucks.
‐‐ Howard Schultz
I think starting a cinema career late in life has more advantages than disadvantages.
‐‐ Luke Evans
I think starting in anime, like I did, gave me a good idea of how to approach games that come from Japan. Japanese developers can be very different from companies here in the western market.
‐‐ Laura Bailey
I think statistics go in one ear and out the other. All of us respond to stories more than numbers.
‐‐ Koren Zailckas
I think steak is the ultimate comfort food, and if you're going out for one, that isn't the time to scrimp on calories or quality.
‐‐ Tom Colicchio
I think Stella Tennant is amazing. And then I really loved all those '60s society models, like Edie Sedgwick.
‐‐ Edie Campbell
I think Stephen Sondheim is a - and I hardly ever use this word - but this is as close as it gets to a genius.
‐‐ Christoph Waltz
I think Steve Jobs is my idol.
‐‐ Ma Huateng
I think Stevie Wonder could sing the phone book and manage to make me cry.
‐‐ Brad Delp
I think Stieg Larsson was pretty brave. He wanted to bring up things that we don't like to talk about, or like to ignore.
‐‐ Noomi Rapace
I think Stills has been playing better than ever. I know a lot of it sounds self-serving, but he truly has.
‐‐ Graham Nash
I think stimulus money is an absolute mistake.
‐‐ Rick Scott
I think stop-motion has always been semi-obsolete. And stop-motion animators - people like myself - love it so much that we're always going to be looking for new ways to make our films.
‐‐ Henry Selick
I think stories can grow out of the visual. It can be an engine for literacy.
‐‐ Chris Riddell
I think stories do have an ending. I think they need to have an ending eventually because that is a story: a beginning, middle and end. If you draw out the end too long, I think storytelling can get tired.
‐‐ Melissa Rosenberg
I think stories get better the more people try to amuse themselves.
