I admit that the eyes of the intellectually and culturally lively tend to glaze over at the mere mention of sociology, often with ample justification.
‐‐ Richard Wall
I admit that when challenging times first surface, it's not first instinct to do a happy dance. But when you take time to pause and add insight to injury, you will immediately start to feel empowered to make those majorly needed life shifts.
‐‐ Karen Salmansohn
I admit the last couple of years shows were not up to par.
‐‐ Larry Hagman
I admit there's an element of brutality in all my work - it's part of the truth about human existence I always want to explore - but the last thing I'm trying to do is put on some kind of freak show, inviting people to get off on other people's pain and humiliation.
‐‐ Todd Solondz
I admit to a bias toward high culture.
‐‐ Sandra Tsing Loh
I admit to drinking it, but I did not swallow.
‐‐ Kinky Friedman
I admit to occasionally sharing the financial hysteria of the rest of the country, the urgency to save more for the family in case you can't write any more.
‐‐ Jim Harrison
I admit to subscribing to all the celebrity rags. The best part of being an author is if the celebs aren't being ridiculous enough, you can just make it up.
‐‐ Lauren Weisberger
I admit to wasting my life messing around with fast cars and motorcycles.
‐‐ Brock Yates
I admitted I bet on baseball, but I wasn't suspended from baseball for betting on baseball.
‐‐ Pete Rose
I adopt a very simple approach. I observe and reflect real life and ordinary people and sooner or later that raises a laugh.
‐‐ Alberto Sordi
I adopted a healthier diet. I take at least a tablespoon of apple-cider vinegar a day. It's an old wives' tale, but it really is one of the best things you can put in your mouth.
‐‐ Melissa Etheridge
I adopted England as least as much as England adopted me.
‐‐ Tom Stoppard
I adopted the assumption of many of my generation that women were intellectually inferior to men, that we were not capable of governing, leading, managing anything but our homes and our children.
‐‐ Katharine Graham
I adopted two children, then I got eye disease and five rounds of surgery. I went blind in one eye, then the other eye, and that went on for three or four years. I got very enamored and involved with the theater and did a lot of plays.
‐‐ John Patrick Shanley
I adore acting; it's in my blood - quite literally - but I can honestly say the most creative thing in the world for me is being a mother.
‐‐ Samantha Bond
I adore all Agatha Christie's books and turn to them whenever I'm ill or need cheering up.
‐‐ Sophie Kinsella
I adore America. It's an extraordinary country. A new country.
‐‐ Yves Saint Laurent
I adore anything Michael Alexis writes.
‐‐ Rachel Nichols
I adore art... when I am alone with my notes, my heart pounds and the tears stream from my eyes, and my emotion and my joys are too much to bear.
‐‐ Giuseppe Verdi
I adore being able to go to the Oscars and know every single person at the party afterwards.
‐‐ Mario Testino
I adore being with Roberta. I adore being in her spiritual light. I adore being close to her talent and gifts.
‐‐ Peabo Bryson
I adore Bette Davis and Vivien Leigh, but more because they were good actresses. That's what makes me interested in them, that they didn't present themselves as idols; they were just doing their jobs.
‐‐ Imelda Staunton
I adore book-to-film adaptations when they're done well, and I'm more lenient than many readers when it comes to what counts as 'done well.' For me, the most important thing is that the film maintains the spirit of the original book.
‐‐ Maggie Stiefvater
I adore Britain! It's my favourite country; I love their eccentricity. I find Britain so inspiring.
‐‐ Stefano Gabbana
I adore burgers. I know they are bad for me, and only technically a sandwich, but a well made burger, juicy and hot off the grill, is wonderful!
‐‐ Faith Hunter
I adore Chicago. It is the pulse of America.
‐‐ Sarah Bernhardt
I adore children, but I was never that interested in new born babies. It's a terrible thing to have to admit, and you're not supposed to think that way as a woman, but everyone promises it's different when you have your own. It wasn't for me, though.
‐‐ Jane Green
I adore Clinique's All About Eyes cream. It depuffs the eyes and makes me look like I actually slept eight hours!
‐‐ Joanna Garcia
I adore clothes, I adore drinking. I just don't have the time or the inclination to totally indulge in it.
‐‐ Christine Baranski
I adore clothes - they're my weakest link! My mother was the same, and she taught me always to look polished.
‐‐ Anne Robinson
I adore Copenhagen, where I live, but I'm really drawn to New York.
‐‐ Birgitte Hjort Sorensen
I adore dancing.
‐‐ Vivien Leigh
I adore dark chocolate.
‐‐ Diane von Furstenberg
I adore doing classic adaptations, but I also feel their frustrations and their limitations.
‐‐ Andrew Davies
I adore doing comedy, I think it's fantastic. I never saw myself doing exclusively comedy.
‐‐ Zach Cregger
I adore Eddie Kaye Thomas and Jason Biggs. Eddie was the only one who called me when they were doing 'American Reunion' and told me, 'You need to do this.'
‐‐ Natasha Lyonne
I adore falseness. I don't want you to tell me accurately what happened yesterday. I want you to lie about it, to exaggerate, to entertain me.
‐‐ Jim Crace
I adore food and always have.
‐‐ Jane Asher
I adore gardening and plan to take it up properly when I have a bit more time on my hands. Until then, I love pottering in garden centres. I'm totally low maintenance. I don't ask for fancy plants, just basic, long-lasting shrubs that look nice. But I am particular about flowers.
‐‐ Shilpa Shetty
I adore going to a very, very fancy restaurant - as long as the spirit is genuine, like it's their pleasure to welcome you.
‐‐ Danny Meyer
I adore India, its culture, and all the beauty of the nation. My father is from Jammu, and he's had a profound influence on my mindset and way of being.
‐‐ Robin S. Sharma
I adore John Mayer. I don't see how anything that surrounds John could be negative.
‐‐ Jessica Simpson
I adore Kate Atkinson, her literary as well as her crime output.
‐‐ Paula Hawkins
I adore life but I don't fear death. I just prefer to die as late as possible.
‐‐ Georges Simenon
I adore Madonna. She reinvents herself like no one else.
‐‐ Jonathan Dimbleby
I adore Madrid. It's my city. If I ever move, it will only be for work. Whenever I travel, I always want to get back home.
‐‐ Maria Valverde
I adore my apartment in New York. It was a ballroom that I remade, so it's like a loft but done by Louis the Fifteenth.
‐‐ Joan Rivers
I adore my dad. He's a 78-year-old man and my inspiration.
‐‐ Shakira
