I have a fondness for historical fiction, something wondrous like 'Wolf Hall,' but I'll read most anything as long as the story grabs my mind or my heart, and preferably both. You would be hard pressed, however, to find science fiction on my shelves.
‐‐ Sue Monk Kidd
I have a fondness for jazz, particularly for jazz singers, Billie Holiday and Ella Fitzgerald all the way through the Sinatra era.
‐‐ Bob Iger
I have a fondness for writing about precocious, troubled teenagers, who are alienating, but kind of endearing. It's from remembering so clearly that time in my own life. I experienced myself as more dramatically troubled than I was, but I just remember how it felt.
‐‐ Ann Hood
I have a foot here and a foot in some spirit world. There are many more layers to reality, and that permeates my life and my writing in a very natural way. I don't even think about it.
‐‐ Isabel Allende
I have a Ford Taurus, and I don't care who knows it.
‐‐ Daniel Woodrell
I have a form of Parkinson's disease, which I don't like. My legs don't move when my brain tells them to. It's very frustrating.
‐‐ George H. W. Bush
I have a foundational belief that business results start with culture and your people.
‐‐ Douglas Conant
I have a four-and-a-half-, nearly five-octave range. I probably should have had extra lessons as a child, as I am certain my family heard my potential, but I didn't. I was in the choir as a schoolgirl, but really, it is all self-taught.
‐‐ Daphne Guinness
I have a four year old and I'm telling you we did Nickelodeon last night and he embarrassed me. It was like one of those moments when I couldn't believe my kid is acting like this. I just had to just like walk away from him because he was really pushing my buttons.
‐‐ Nia Long
I have a freedom that's incredibly valuable. Obviously my freedom is far smaller in scale than people like Zemeckis and Spielberg have here. But it's comparable. I can dream up a project, develop it, make it, control it, release it.
‐‐ Peter Jackson
I have a friend - I send her one text and I get 20 texts back. Guys don't want a million texts. It's exhausting.
‐‐ Anderson Cooper
I have a friend in New York who's a stylist and I went over to her place because she's got a lot of clothes. I basically ended up wearing most of it. So it's all stuff that I brought over.
‐‐ Famke Janssen
I have a friend - not a dwarf - who's an alchemist of sorts. He concocted a men's cologne... He gave me a bottle as a gift. I was thinking we should totally put this on the market. You know how Jessica Simpson and Beyonce have signature perfumes and make a mint? I'm thinking this cologne could be my ticket to fortune.
‐‐ Peter Dinklage
I have a friend of mine who does me on his answering machine, and when I call him, I answer. It's pretty strange.
‐‐ Christopher Walken
I have a friend that has five kids and she went through a trial separation with her husband, and she didn't have time to be upset. Every now and then, she'd call me on the cell phone and just cry.
‐‐ Faith Ford
I have a friend that is a WWII buff, and we sat and talked a lot about stuff like the war and the reasons behind it, and you now it's all in the uniform. Once you're in it, it usually does all the work for you.
‐‐ Ryan Gosling
I have a friend who calls me the queen of the nightmares because I've always had really bad nightmares. I keep a notebook by the side of my bed, so I'll wake up in the night from a bad dream, and my heart's pounding, and I'm really scared, but I write it down, and sometimes I get ideas for books that way.
‐‐ Jennifer McMahon
I have a friend who does everything, travels all over the world, goes everywhere, and he says that no matter where in the world he's been, it never gets any better than having a child.
‐‐ Nia Peeples
I have a friend who, if she has a bad hair day, it affects her whole mood because it is part of her sexuality, her confidence. I don't have that problem any more.
‐‐ Cathy Freeman
I have a friend who is around my age, a little younger, and she's gay and came out to her own community when she was younger but not to her family and to the community at large.
‐‐ Laura Innes
I have a friend who is very successful in business, and his motto is, 'Don't do what you can do. Do what only you can do.' First of all, you have to know what your specific, unique gift is and then you do that... every actor does that but every once in a while an actor plays a part that only they can play.
‐‐ Rob Lowe
I have a friend who lives in the South Side of Chicago. I helped out at a church charity there where they try to give a bit of cohesion to a desperate area. Everyone was very welcoming.
‐‐ Sara Paretsky
I have a friend who says that roles choose you at the time that you need them most, and you have to believe, as an actor, if you didn't get a part that you really, really wanted, and it went to someone else, it was because it was theirs to begin with.
‐‐ Emma Stone
I have a friend who says, 'The world doesn't need another angry dwarf!'
‐‐ Peter Dinklage
I have a friend who wanted to practise on my head because they wanted to be a stylist. So I offered what hair I had left to turn white.
‐‐ James Michael Tyler
I have a friendship with Hezbollah, and I also have contacts outside of Lebanon, but it doesn't mean I follow anyone's agenda.
‐‐ Najib Mikati
I have a full and satisfying life. My work and my family are very important to me.
‐‐ Stephen Hawking
I have a full life: I have two amazing kids, I have great friends, great family. And right now, that's plenty for me to manage. A new relationship just seems like way too much work.
‐‐ Sarah McLachlan
I have a full Tuscan lunch and dinner every day in my home; my husband's a fantastic chef.
‐‐ Debi Mazar
I have a fuller figure and sometimes like to hide my legs. Palazzo pants accentuate my small waist and make me feel a little like Katharine Hepburn.
‐‐ Debi Mazar
I have a fun clause in my contract. If I'm not having fun, I can leave.
‐‐ James Burrows
I have a fundamental belief in the Bible as the Word of God, written by those who were inspired. I study the Bible daily.
‐‐ Isaac Newton
I have a funny accent in every language.
‐‐ Carmen Busquets
I have a funny mental framework when I do physics. I create an imaginary audience in my head to explain things to - it is part of the way I think. For me, teaching and explaining, even to my imaginary audience, is part of the process.
‐‐ Leonard Susskind
I have a funny name.
‐‐ Pia Zadora
I have a funny relationship with religion. I'm a big believer in ritualistic behavior as long as it doesn't hurt anybody. But I'm not a big fan of rules. And yet, we cannot live in a world without order.
‐‐ Madonna Ciccone
I have a gajillion headbands - yellows, pinks, reds, blues. I'm obsessed.
‐‐ Monique Coleman
I have a garden, and I collect different heirloom seeds from different neighbors.

‐‐ Mary Wesley
I have a garden in my backyard that's completely organic, which I'm very proud of.
‐‐ Ariana Grande
I have a gay cousin who came out to my parents before he came out to his own. So I benefited from having a very open, supportive family, and I want to pass that on.
‐‐ Elizabeth Banks
I have a general sense of excitement about the future, and I don't know what that looks like yet. But it will be whatever I make it.
‐‐ Amanda Lindhout
I have a general sense of mission, and I intuitively know when something is influencing that mission. I think this is what I'm supposed to be doing. Doors keep opening. In the end, it's the best use of my skills. I've finally consented to the idea that I'm an artist.
‐‐ Abigail Washburn
I have a generally optimistic temperament and am thrilled by what I see as a rapidly growing food movement, especially among young people who care about how food is produced and what it does to their health and the environment.
‐‐ Marion Nestle
I have a genuine love affair with my audience. When I'm on stage they're not privileged to see me. It's a privilege for me to see them.
‐‐ Ozzy Osbourne
I have a genuine philosophy. I do not want to make negative pictures about people, and so I do everything I can to help make them feel comfortable in front of the camera. That is what is going to control your picture, because you are alone if your subject is not with you. And that's the simple answer to getting a good picture.
‐‐ Douglas Kirkland
I have a giant baking book, so I close my eyes and pick a random page. Whatever it is, I try to bake it!
‐‐ Nina Dobrev
I have a gift for enraging people, but if I ever bore you it will be with a knife.
‐‐ Louise Brooks
I have a gigantic ego and need to be at the top of the pile and be doing amazingly well; also, at the same time, I'm just pleased to be anywhere.
‐‐ Robbie Williams
I have a girl crush on Olivia Munn so much, especially on 'Newsroom.' And Cara Delevingne, but who doesn't love her face? Viola Davis is my acting crush.
‐‐ Aja Naomi King
I have a girl crush on Rachel Bilson. She's so cute, I just want to put her in my pocket. I love her style, and I'm fascinated by everything she wears, and I think she's a really sweet and kind person. She's cute. I like her.
