I often hear them accuse Israel of Judaizing Jerusalem. That's like accusing America of Americanizing Washington, or the British of Anglicizing London. You know why we're called 'Jews'? Because we come from Judea.
‐‐ Benjamin Netanyahu
I often heard about his cases and I often sat in on his trials. In the late 1960s when I was growing up I wanted to be a crusader like him but I didn't want to wear a suit and commute.
‐‐ David Guterson
I often heard Latvians compare Russia and America. Latvians find both countries and their leaders possessed of the same mysterious confidence.
‐‐ Amity Gaige
I often imagine that the longer he studies English literature the more the Japanese student must be astonished at the extraordinary predominance given to the passion of love both in fiction and in poetry.
‐‐ Lafcadio Hearn
I often imagine what it would be like if my father were still here to mark his 100th birthday, if Alzheimer's hadn't clawed away years, possibilities, hopes. What would he think of all the commemorations and celebrations?
‐‐ Patti Davis
I often joke that 100 years from now I hope people are saying, 'Dang, she looks good for her age!'
‐‐ Dolly Parton
I often joke that I could write 'War and Peace' and make it sound like Geri Halliwell wrote it.
‐‐ Michael Robotham
I often joke that I straddle psychosis and neurosis, and that being an artist keeps me in the middle, so I can work between the two.
‐‐ Sam Taylor-Wood
I often joke that I've just become a professional schmoozer. Like, nobody cares how well I can rock climb anymore. It just has to do with how well I can schmooze.
‐‐ Alex Honnold
I often keep my eyes open for bodies. I do. Ever since I was a kid. I think I read too many 'Nancy Drew' books.
‐‐ Chelsea Cain
I often laugh and say I should go down to the Department of the Interior and register as an endangered species. I'm a gay man over 60 and I'm alive.
‐‐ David Mixner
I often lay on that bench looking up into the tree, past the trunk and up into the branches. It was particularly fine at night with the stars above the tree.
‐‐ Georgia O'Keeffe
I often look at a lot of Doctor Who stuff that's about now, which no one has approached me about.
‐‐ Sarah Sutton
I often look at places and kind of mentally convert them to fantasy versions of themselves.
‐‐ Samantha Shannon
I often look at women who wear great jeans and high heels and nice little T-shirts wandering around the city, and I think, 'I should make more of an effort. I should look like that.' But then I think, 'They can't be happy in those heels.'
‐‐ Kate Winslet
I often look ridiculous in Japan. There's really no way to eat in Japan, particularly kaiseki in a traditional ryokan, without offending the Japanese horribly. Every gesture, every movement is just so atrociously wrong, and the more I try, the more hilarious it is.
‐‐ Anthony Bourdain
I often lose myself in the Sudoku-like challenges of making a book work.
‐‐ David Mitchell
I often make films about subjects I don't really know much about. Maybe it's laziness, but I don't go in there having done a tonne of research; the research happens while I'm making the film.
‐‐ Asif Kapadia
I often make movies that involve depression or deep holes of sadness, although there are also these other great things in 'New Moon,' like this epic set-piece at the end of the film in Italy.
‐‐ Chris Weitz
I often meet adults in their 30s, 40s, or 50s who, as soon as they recognize me, suddenly become six years old again.
‐‐ Clayton Moore
I often meet frustrated young writers who say they've only got so far and just can't finish a book. Even if you don't happen to use what you've worked on that day, it has taught you something and you'll be amazed when you might come back to it and use it again.
‐‐ Eoin Colfer
I often meet young directors who, you know, had a 'Ghostbusters' picture on their wall as they were growing up. And it's really nice. It just shows how inter-generational our industry is.
‐‐ Sigourney Weaver
I often obsess so much about things that I can't get done, that I ruin other things.
‐‐ Marilyn Manson
I often painted fragments of things because it seemed to make my statement as well as or better than the whole could.
‐‐ Georgia O'Keeffe
I often play characters on TV shows that are more sweet and naive and just kind of puppy-dog eyes, and I don't think I am like that as a person.
‐‐ Lauren Lapkus
I often play on the cello-bass side of the orchestra, because I prefer the deep sounds. I can't hear the violins well.
‐‐ Evelyn Glennie
I often play women who are not essentially good or likable, and I often go through a stage where I hate them. Then I end up loving and defending them.
‐‐ Kathleen Turner
I often played nice guys when I was younger, and it's nice to be able to explore the darker side.
‐‐ Jerome Flynn
I often put any project I write in a different decade just to roll the thought around in my head. There's a thriller I've written that I think would be nice to set in the '70s or '80s, just to take cell phones away from the movie. There's nothing like the piercing ring of an old-school telephone to really scare an audience.
‐‐ Joel Edgerton
I often quote myself. It adds spice to my conversation.
‐‐ George Bernard Shaw
I often quote Ronald Reagan, who is pretty close to my favorite President ever, I will have to say that, but one of my favorite remarks he ever made was that when you look at Federal programs, there is nothing so close to eternal life on Earth as a Federal Government program.
‐‐ Marsha Blackburn
I often read nonfiction with a pencil in hand. I love the feel, the smell, the design, the weight of a book, but I also enjoy the convenience of my Kindle - for travel and for procuring a book in seconds.
‐‐ Drew Gilpin Faust
I often read poetry to 'warm up' before I write.
‐‐ Amity Gaige
I often refer to myself as a gay man and all my friends are gay and I would like nothing more than for them to be able to be married.
‐‐ Tori Spelling
I often regret that I have spoken; never that I have been silent.
‐‐ Publilius Syrus
I often remembered also that I had been told, that we shall have as many devils biting us, if we go to hell, as we have unconfessed sins on our consciences.
‐‐ Maria Monk
I often reread books I have written.
‐‐ Taylor Caldwell
I often say fame is kind of like a drug or like sugar: when it's controlling you it doesn't feel good at all.
‐‐ K. D. Lang
I often say flippantly that the short story is... shorter; you can be done with it more easily. It's much less of a commitment of time and energy than a big project like a novel or long nonfiction book.
‐‐ Bobbie Ann Mason
I often say, if I wasn't part of the show I'd be a huge fan of it.
‐‐ Dan Castellaneta
I often say in my speeches, I say, 'It's rare in life that you get a controlled scientific experiment.' 'Cause you can't do controlled scientific experiments with real people, normally.
‐‐ Jerrold Nadler
I often say my naivete early on in my career worked in my favor.
‐‐ Sophia Amoruso
I often say now I don't have any choice whether or not I have Parkinson's, but surrounding that non-choice is a million other choices that I can make.
‐‐ Michael J. Fox
I often say of George Washington that he was one of the few in the whole history of the world who was not carried away by power.
‐‐ Robert Frost
I often say television is not a job for grown men. You go to a set, they pick out your clothes for you, they tell you where to stand, what to say, and your chair has your name on it in case you can't find a place to sit.
‐‐ Danny Bonaduce
I often say that Arizonans should decide what's best for Arizona.
‐‐ Jane D. Hull
I often say that if you want to really want to understand the contract of marriage, just ask anyone who has been divorced. The marriage contract is one of property rights. Or maybe you can look in the Bible to see what Adam had to say about divorce, since Eve was his second wife.
‐‐ Harvey Fierstein
I often say that in making dances I can make a world where I think things are done morally, done democratically, done honestly.
‐‐ Twyla Tharp
I often say that it's only people who have their skin in the business who'll work towards its success.
‐‐ Subhash Chandra
