I don't think that writing talent has much to do with where one went to school, or the number of degrees on one's business card, but I do get a bit bristly at the implication that romance authors couldn't possibly be smart enough to get into an Ivy League school.
‐‐ Julia Quinn
I don't think that Yahoo or any other Internet company should try to become a television network. We will be nowhere if we have to create our own content.
‐‐ Terry Semel
I don't think that you can be prescriptive about anything, I mean, life is too complicated. Maybe there are novels where the author has not in the least thought about it in terms of film, which can be turned into good films.
‐‐ Paul Auster
I don't think that you can fake warmth. You can fake lust, jealousy, anger; those are all quite easy. But actual, genuine warmth? I don't think you can fake it.
‐‐ Keira Knightley
I don't think that you can invent on behalf of customers unless you're willing to think long-term, because a lot of invention doesn't work. If you're going to invent, it means you're going to experiment, and if you're going to experiment, you're going to fail, and if you're going to fail, you have to think long term.
‐‐ Jeff Bezos
I don't think that you can let the storms of life overwhelm you. When you do that, you are no better than the craziness that caused you to be under attack.
‐‐ T. D. Jakes
I don't think that you can possibly embrace the kind of joy which one who has worked with plants and plant structures such as I have over a period of nearly 40 years, how wonderful the plant laboratory seems.
‐‐ Percy Julian
I don't think that you can write music if you don't know how to play an instrument. You have to know the basics, then you can go forward.
‐‐ Alber Elbaz
I don't think that you have to be effeminate to be sensitive.
‐‐ Little Richard
I don't think that - you know, I'm sure that there's guys that are doing it, because I'm sure in every sport there's players who want to get the edge. But I think that it's been blown overly - way more than guys are using it in our game.
‐‐ Rafael Palmeiro
I don't think that youth should be glorified.
‐‐ Andie MacDowell
I don't think the 9/11 attacks taught us anything we didn't already know about religion. It has long been obvious - even to the deeply religious - that religious fanaticism is an extremely dangerous deranger of otherwise sane and goodhearted people.
‐‐ Daniel Dennett
I don't think the AAA is an end in itself; we will maintain prudent financial management with or without the AAA.
‐‐ Jay Weatherill
I don't think the advertisers have any real idea of their power not only to reflect but to mold society.
‐‐ Marya Mannes
I don't think the alternative to Yale is jail by any means. On the other hand, there is a mass of research that does show that there are real advantages to your subsequent career in going to selective institutions.
‐‐ Derek Bok
I don't think the American people, if you look historically, elect angry candidates.
‐‐ Ken Mehlman
I don't think the American people want unilateral government control over the entire health-care system.
‐‐ Judd Gregg
I don't think the area of Jerusalem should be part of a Jewish state; it belongs to all people, to Christians and Muslims and the Jewish people.
‐‐ Patti Smith
I don't think the audience always listens to the critics. That's been proven time and time again.
‐‐ Mel Gibson
I don't think the author should make the reader do that much work to remember who somebody is.
‐‐ Kevin J. Anderson
I don't think the Barbara Vines are mysteries in any sense. The Barbara Vine is much more slowly paced. It is a much more in-depth, searching sort of book; it doesn't necessarily have a murder in it.
‐‐ Ruth Rendell
I don't think the BBC supporting digital switchover is top slicing. Top slicing is putting the license fee up for grabs for other broadcasters to bid for.
‐‐ Jeremy Hunt
I don't think the Bonzo Dog could have evolved in America, nor could the old Nice: because of their musical discipline. This is one thing that British groups do have, a sort of discipline. Sometimes it can get a bit soulless, but on the whole I think it's preferable to the American alternative.
‐‐ Jon Lord
I don't think the British carry a historical consciousness either.
‐‐ Tom Paulin
I don't think the Christian Right dominates America in the way some in the media believe they do.
‐‐ Billy Graham
I don't think the competition's so rough, within the majority of movies made in Hollywood.
‐‐ Paul Thomas Anderson
I don't think the Constitution is studied almost anywhere, including law schools. In law schools, what they study is what the court said about the Constitution. They study the opinions. They don't study the Constitution itself.
‐‐ Robert Bork
I don't think the creative writing industry has helped American poetry.
‐‐ Robert Morgan
I don't think the critics could understand what we were doing.
‐‐ Jimmy Page
I don't think the current regime of South Korea will deal actively with the issue of North Korean defectors.
‐‐ Kim Young-sam
I don't think the deficit of the country is a Republican issue or a Democratic issue. I think it's a country issue. I don't think worrying about the reindustrialization of America is a Republican or Democratic issue.
‐‐ Indra Nooyi
I don't think the discus will ever attract any interest until they let us start throwing them at each other.
‐‐ Al Oerter
I don't think the dreams die - I think that people give up. I think it gets too hard.
‐‐ Tyler Perry
I don't think the economy telegraphs very clearly where it's going.
‐‐ Edmund Phelps
I don't think the Egyptian people want to see what is a very clear effort to obtain political and economic rights turn into any kind of new form of oppression or suppression or violence or letting loose criminal elements.
‐‐ Hillary Clinton
I don't think the elite class is only speaking the good English.
‐‐ Mamata Banerjee
I don't think the English like me. I sold a colossal best seller in America, and they never really forgave me.
‐‐ John Fowles
I don't think the face of the Democratic Party is Nancy Pelosi.
‐‐ Tom Vilsack
I don't think the federal government has any business keeping a list of law-abiding Americans who exercise their constitutional right to keep and bear arms.
‐‐ Ted Cruz
I don't think the federal government should be a part of everything. I think that governing should be done state-by-state... so that you can tailor your governing to the people's needs.
‐‐ Stacey Dash
I don't think the federal government should be involved in making life work, right? I mean, the enumerated powers - the state level is fine. The local level's fine. But not - I do not want the federal government trying to make my life work.
‐‐ Dave Brat
I don't think the folks in the low-tax states really want to go into a fairness discussion. Residents of Connecticut and New York would love to remind them how much they pay in federal taxes to support programs for Mississippi and South Dakota.
‐‐ Gail Collins
I don't think the Gallup Poll technique is going to be very helpful in determining the goals of our educational system.
‐‐ Sargent Shriver
I don't think the game should be perfect. It's 95 percent mistakes out there - you have to work with 10 players on your side and another 11 against you. It's a crazy, chaotic game.
‐‐ Tiffeny Milbrett
I don't think the goal is, 'How big a star did you ever become?' I think the goal is, 'Were you able to express yourself?'
‐‐ Albert Brooks
I don't think the government is out to get me or help someone else get me but it wouldn't surprise me if they were out to sell me something or help someone else sell me something. I mean, why else would the Census Bureau want to know my telephone number?
‐‐ Andy Rooney
I don't think the government needs to be frightened of the banks in the slightest.
‐‐ Nigel Lawson
I don't think the government should be in the trailer-park business. I don't think they know how to run a trailer park.
‐‐ Billy Graham
I don't think the Hollywood community is interested in what I can do. That's all right. I've never looked for a job in my life, and I'm not going to start now. I have plenty to keep me busy.
‐‐ Mercedes McCambridge
I don't think the Hulk is a superhero. He's the first Marvel character who is a tragic monster. Really an anti-hero.
‐‐ Ang Lee
