I do think that the abiding mystery of my origins has definitely had a profound effect upon my writing. There is that thing in the back of my mind where I think I don't really know who I am. And it may make it a little easier to shift around in my narrative voice.
‐‐ Gillian Welch
I do think that the days of gathering around a television set that functions merely as a television set, to receive a live broadcast of some networked programming, those days are probably numbered.
‐‐ Jason Alexander
I do think that the elections of 2010 and 2012 are going to determine the trajectory of the country. Either we're going to be aspiring and improving opportunities based on freedom and responsibility, or we're going to go down the path that dictates and mandates a dependency on government.
‐‐ George Allen
I do think that the emotional weight of 'Biutiful' has blinded some viewers to the beauty and complexity of the film.
‐‐ Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu
I do think that the modern India does belong to writers who are living in India.
‐‐ Kiran Desai
I do think that the standard media is controlled by the conventional wisdom about global warming. We've come to believe - from reading a lot of articles and talking to a lot of scientists - that there's another side to be heard.
‐‐ Steven Levitt
I do think that the strongest character is somebody that you can connect with to your personal self, or at least find the humanity in both of you and start from there.
‐‐ Ruthie Ann Miles
I do think that there are certain parts, if you are lucky enough to play them, that are bigger than you, and they stretch you. I don't think you become a bigger person, but you develop certain muscles you didn't have before.
‐‐ Harriet Walter
I do think that there are gray lines of morality in a newsroom, when it comes to some stories. The best-intentioned journalist still has a difficult mission, to try to boil down people.
‐‐ Jim Lynch
I do think that there is a hunger in the land for a vision of confessional Christianity that is robust, God-centered, tough-minded, able to address today and tomorrow and the next day, and comprehensive.
‐‐ D. A. Carson
I do think that there is a profound reservoir of creativity and imagination in everyone I've ever met, and sometimes if someone is persistent and perversely obstinate enough to persevere, then they want to be helped. There is a way to help them.
‐‐ Philip Schultz
I do think that there is such a thing as human nature, and that the things that we have in common are perhaps greater than the things that divide us.
‐‐ Salman Rushdie
I do think that this planet is a totally unjust planet. I mean throughout history - history paints a beautiful picture when it's written by the victorious, but it's a planet that belongs to the strong and the more able, and usually they are tyrants. So basically, I don't see justice happening to the crushed and the weak.
‐‐ Bassem Youssef
I do think that we all draw limits and I feel like part of the work of an artist is it shouldn't be fun. This shouldn't be comfortable. I'm not looking to make people feel unsafe, but I am looking to make people feel uncomfortable.
‐‐ Junot Diaz
I do think that we are an overmedicated society.
‐‐ Marcia Angell
I do think that we are facing a crisis in our democracy. As true patriots, each and every one of us has to speak up, speak out, and change those in charge. Our democracy depends upon it.
‐‐ Robert Greenwald
I do think that when you get older, you kind of learn not to judge because you realise that no one's perfect, and we're all fighting our own private demons.
‐‐ Rebecca Ferguson
I do think that with any kind of infidelity, on some level - unless you're dealing with a sociopath - there's always a reason.
‐‐ Jessica Capshaw
I do think that you can dress yourself out of a problem. The way that a haircut and a new pair of pants can make you feel is better than any therapist, because when you look in the mirror, you see a different person - you are a different person. It's superficial change that can lead to real change.
‐‐ Greg Behrendt
I do think the attempt to raise consciousness has succeeded. People are very aware of gender concerns now.
‐‐ Clifford Geertz
I do think the audiences have a right to judge what they feel is offensive and not.
‐‐ Loni Love
I do think the biggest problem newspapers have is loss of trust, and I feel that's a result of failure to speak truth to power.
‐‐ Craig Newmark
I do think the challenge, in a way for me, is to write a narrative film and when you finish watching it you feel like it's a collage. You tell the narrative, you tell the story, but you feel like you've created this tapestry. But it also has a shape, a story.
‐‐ Shane Black
I do think the first time you read a script, that gut response is very important, and that probably plants a seed that continues to blossom throughout the whole experience.
‐‐ Paul Dano
I do think the heart can balance out the mind, if your heart is in a good place it can give you the strength to do the right thing and behave the right way and overcome the mind.
‐‐ Alexis Arguello
I do think the moral line you walk all the time about putting something in for the sake of the film and not being affected by people's lives is a very tough one.
‐‐ Gillian Armstrong
I do think 'The Notebook' is a darn good movie.
‐‐ Matt Lanter
I do think the past changes at a slower rate. It sits a little more still for its portrait.
‐‐ Richard Greenberg
I do think the patriotic thing to do is to critique my country. How else do you make a country better but by pointing out its flaws?
‐‐ Bill Maher
I do think the position I play is a powerful position.
‐‐ Denise Morrison
I do think the public want to see politicians acting in a different way. What's brought young people into our campaign is that they were written off by political parties but they had never written off politics, and what we have is a huge number of young people, very enthusiastic and brimming with ideas. Those ideas have got to be heard.
‐‐ Jeremy Corbyn
I do think the secret to a good marriage is separate bathrooms.
‐‐ Heather Dubrow
I do think the story in Halloween 5 is a bit stupid, and there's a lot more blood. They're obviously going to take the Halloween series in a different direction.
‐‐ Donald Pleasence
I do think the Tea Party position will prevail, and I am often asked: 'What has the Tea Party done and is it even still alive?' People think because there have been no demonstrations with the 'Don't Tread on Me' flag it's gone, but it hasn't.
‐‐ Richard Mourdock
I do think the U.S. has a moral and political leadership role to play.
‐‐ Elizabeth Esty
I do think there are certain times we should infringe on your freedom.
‐‐ Michael Bloomberg
I do think there are some actors that can get away with trying to be funny, and they're still funny because they're just likeable, and you want to see them. Me, though, when you see me trying to be funny, it's like the worst thing in the world. It's needy, it's cloying, it's manipulative - it's bad.
‐‐ Constance Wu
I do think there are trends in your life once you've been auditioning long enough. I was the angry teenager and then the sweet victim.
‐‐ Merritt Wever
I do think there is a great deal of caricature around the House of Commons. It is just that kind of place.
‐‐ Charles Kennedy
I do think there is a lot of potential if you have a compelling product and people are willing to pay a premium for that. I think that is what Apple has shown. You can buy a much cheaper cell phone or laptop, but Apple's product is so much better than the alternative, and people are willing to pay that premium.
‐‐ Elon Musk
I do think there is a value in the services of judges for long periods of time.
‐‐ Sonia Sotomayor
I do think there is an important artistic component in what we do. As a technology company I've tried to really stress that.
‐‐ Larry Page
I do think there is much truth in the Young German idea that marriage is a shockingly immoral institution, as well as what we have long known it for - an extremely disagreeable one.
‐‐ Jane Welsh Carlyle
I do think there is room at the very top for marginal tax changes.
‐‐ Richard Hanna
I do think there is something to be said for those who have significant experience at state level and have run campaigns or have been deeply involved in grass roots political campaigns and who have actual hands-on experience.
‐‐ Roy Romer
I do think there is this danger that our society has made its peace with decline. I'd like to jolt them out of their complacency a little bit.
‐‐ Peter Thiel
I do think there must be some kind of interaction between your living life and the life that goes on from here.
‐‐ Keanu Reeves
I do think there's a difference when you see a book where you can tell the creator's doing something they really love or are really passionate about as opposed to an artist or a writer who is just doing a particular job or trying to sell a product or trying to cash in on a popular trend.
‐‐ Mike Mignola
I do think there's a lot more we can do on the life agenda.
‐‐ Sam Brownback
I do think there's a spiritual element in the world, yes. Have I experienced a ghost firsthand, per se? No. I guess I've experienced feelings or some kind of a presence. But I certainly haven't seen any kind of transparent entity running around.
‐‐ Carrie Preston
