As an improviser, my nature is to take a theme and constantly rework it.
‐‐ Jason Moran
As an incumbent, if you are winning, your commercials are about motherhood and apple pie and the flag.
‐‐ Pete Gallego
As an independent artist, you're always figuring out how you're going to fund your next album.
‐‐ Tess Henley
As an independent person, I find it difficult being dependent for everything, for even my food and medicine, to the prison authorities. I have had to fight through the courts for everything, including even physiotherapy, which is my right under the jail manual.
‐‐ Asif Ali Zardari
As an Independent, she has no party backing... Her being the first Independent president trumps the fact that she's a woman. It causes even more upheaval in Washington than her being female.
‐‐ Geena Davis
As an Indian, and now as a politician and a government minister, I've become rather concerned about the hype we're hearing about our own country, all this talk about India becoming a world leader, even the next superpower.
‐‐ Shashi Tharoor
As an Indian, I would like to back my government.
‐‐ Kapil Dev
As an Indian, you feel easily connected with certain histories in places like Indonesia, where one sees, because of the presence of the Hindu-Buddhist past, Hindus still living there or Muslims performing rituals that are instantly familiar.
‐‐ Pankaj Mishra
As an indigenous leader from Bolivia, I know what exclusion looks like. Before 1952, my people were not allowed to even enter the main squares of Bolivia's cities, and there were almost no indigenous politicians in government until the late 1990s.
‐‐ Evo Morales
As an individual, and I have to say as a person of color, the thing about being an 'other' in America is I really feel like you're bilingual. I'm from a small town in Wisconsin, but even when I'm in New York and I'm working for MSNBC or CNN, you're used to being the only black person in the room.
‐‐ John Ridley
As an individual doing a podcast, you don't get even remotely rich. It's not something to do for money.
‐‐ Jeff Garlin
As an individual, I take every match seriously, no matter who I'm going to play.
‐‐ Maria Sharapova
As an individual, I think you have to find your own path. I like the simplicity and purity of Hinduism and many elements of Buddhism. These are all means of accessing spiritual energy.
‐‐ Dave Davies
As an individual I was known as the DJ or the mixer.
‐‐ Grandmaster Flash
As an individual, not as the boss of a company, I am very interested in motor racing.
‐‐ Carlos Ghosn
As an industrial designer, you design the thing by yourself, and then it goes away from you, whereas fashion is in constant relation to the body and to psychology. It makes it more complicated, and it makes it more challenging.
‐‐ Raf Simons
As an infantry officer who served in Iraq, Afghanistan, and Guantanamo Bay, I have led men in combat and trained them on tactics and strategy. The mission of the infantry is to 'close with, and destroy, the enemy.' Our job, in a direct way, is to fight and win wars.
‐‐ Pete Hegseth
As an insecure adult in Houston, a writer struggling to make myself heard, I was nourished by those hours with the Houston Rockets in ways that I did not recognize.
‐‐ Max Apple
As an inspiration to the author, I do not think the cat can be over-estimated. He suggests so much grace, power, beauty, motion, mysticism. I do not wonder that many writers love cats; I am only surprised that all do not.
‐‐ Carl Van Vechten
As an instructor at Alexandria University, I did research that was published in international journals. Although I left to pursue a doctorate in the United States, it was not for want of a good life.
‐‐ Ahmed Zewail
As an instrument for practical action, law is responsive to the wisdom of its time, which may be wrong, but it carries forward, sometimes in opposition to this wisdom or passion, a memory of received values.
‐‐ Edward Levi
As an integral part of the Department of Agriculture, the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service monitors our Nation's agriculture to protect against agricultural pests and diseases.
‐‐ Mike Rogers
As an international batsman, I have to come out to bat under any situation. Sometimes a platform has been laid; on others, we have to build one. That's part of our job, and that's why international cricket is so challenging.
‐‐ Suresh Raina
As an international sportsman, I am very lucky to be supported by people all over the world, many of who treat me as one of their own, no matter what their nationality, or indeed mine. This is the way sport should be.
‐‐ Rory McIlroy
As an investment banker, I'm in the cross-flow of information and the changes that are taking place in capital markets.
‐‐ Euvin Naidoo
As an investor, what we're not looking for is 'oh this is a cool app,' it's 'is this something that can become a big business?' You need to find those that can become real businesses.
‐‐ Niklas Zennstrom
As an Irish person, there's a historical fascination with America: America is the default green and promised land for Irish people and Italians; that's what we grow up with.
‐‐ Dylan Moran
As an Italian-American, I have a special responsibility to be sensitive to ethnic stereotypes.
‐‐ Al D'Amato
As an OB-GYN physician, I understand the importance of protecting Americans from sexually transmitted diseases, and I applaud the development of an HPV vaccine. But for states to mandate vaccination for young women is both unprecedented and unacceptable.
‐‐ Phil Gingrey
As an observer, I react to the realities of Israeli life with both envy and relief. Nobody wants to live under the threat of constant attack from enemies right next door, under ceaseless and often unfair international scrutiny, defending his homeland by day and living with the memories of mass genocide at night.
‐‐ Pete Hegseth
As an observer of markets - whenever everyone focuses on one thing - like Greece and Europe - maybe they miss issues that are far more important - such as a meaningful slowdown in India and China.
‐‐ Marc Faber
As an OCD guy, I find change difficult.
‐‐ Tim Howard
As an offensive lineman, having spatial awareness is key: understanding where the quarterback is going to be and understanding what the defensive end might do depending on the play we're running.
‐‐ D'Brickashaw Ferguson
As an offensive player, you always want to produce and score goals, especially when that's your job on the team.
‐‐ Patrick Kane
As an Oklahoma quarterback, you learn to perform under pressure.
‐‐ J. C. Watts
As an old creative industry full of cruelty and moral sense, British journalism once flourished on the imperative that people required the truth in order to survive. But people don't require that now. They want sensation and they want it for nothing.
‐‐ Andrew O'Hagan
As an old man who remembers the intellectual exhilaration and the pleasure of having done good work that characterized the CIA when it was young, I wonder if it might not be better to speak and think in terms of restoring its culture.
‐‐ Charles McCarry
As an Old Navy style attendant, I'm all about upgrading your bare basics and presenting them to your customer as basics you need to have in your wardrobe.
‐‐ Brad Goreski
As an old reporter, we have a few secrets, and the first thing is we try the phone book.
‐‐ Andy Rooney
As an old-time New Yorker, it's not that I miss the '70s and '80s or whatever. I miss the fact that there was a certain kind of energy that exists when people can live for nothing.
‐‐ Abel Ferrara
As an older and wiser man, I don't believe in luck. I believe in hard work and talent and determination.
‐‐ Dexter Fletcher
As an older child, I was a huge 'Anne Of Green Gables' fan.
‐‐ Kate Williams
As an older dad who grew up in a rural culture in the South, certain things were expected of women, and that included raising the children. But I think it's just as important for the father to give the baths, to hug, to change the diapers, to tell the stories.
‐‐ Clyde Edgerton
As an older generation, we need to give all our young people love and the possibility of realizing their dreams. For instance, if I get really political, the fact that some people can't go to college, can't even think about college, that's not American; that's not right.
‐‐ Kenny Leon
As an Olympic champion gymnast, I have always stayed involved in my sport.
‐‐ Nadia Comaneci
As an only child, I embrace loneliness. Hollywood loneliness helped to understand Marilyn Monroe in a real way. I was able to portray her very well.
‐‐ Catherine Hicks
As an only child, I may have been alone a lot, but I was never lonely. My invisible friends were my constant companions.
‐‐ Teresa Medeiros
As an only child lacking siblings and playmates, I was alone a great deal of the time. Much of this was spent reading virtually anything I could get my hands on.
‐‐ Robert Lefkowitz
As an opinion manager, a campaign consultant, fixing personality negatives is a lot easier than fixing character negatives.
‐‐ Paul Manafort
