I think being an actor makes me a better writer and vice versa. I know the kinds of roles I would kill to play, and I try to create them for others.
‐‐ Katori Hall
I think being an actress is more how to cope with the fact that you can't do anything else than to express a talent. It's a way of being untalented for anything.
‐‐ Isabelle Huppert
I think being an archer is much more integral to Green Arrow and his mythos than it is to Hawkeye.
‐‐ Jeff Lemire
I think being an Asian woman has been more of an advantage than a disadvantage. It helps me stand out from the rest of the entertainers out there. Again, being from such an ethnically diverse place like New York, you get comfortable and confident with being different!
‐‐ Nadia Ali
I think being an atheist is something you are, not something you do.
‐‐ Christopher Hitchens
I think being an athlete prepares you for more things than people give us credit for.
‐‐ Eric Shanteau
I think being an effective First Lady is first of all being the partner that your husband needs.
‐‐ Elizabeth Edwards
I think being an outcast is what sort of strengthens the nerd movement, because you're isolated, so you have time.
‐‐ Chris Hardwick
I think being beautiful is only one aspect of your life.
‐‐ Alicia Machado
I think being born in Panama was a blessing because Panama is a port city. It's a really - the mentality is that - I remember that of admitting things in. You know, ports, ideas come in and out all the time.
‐‐ Ruben Blades
I think being Canadian helps you as a journalist in America, because you're sort of on the outside watching this big party going on, and you're sort of taking mental notes as it goes on. I think if you're in the party the whole time, you don't notice it as much. And I think Canadians are very good observers of American culture.
‐‐ Graydon Carter
I think being deaf gave me an increased sense of sight.
‐‐ Nyle DiMarco
I think being different, going against the grain of society is the greatest thing in the world.
‐‐ Elijah Wood
I think being eclectic is bad when you're just starting out.
‐‐ Jerry Harrison
I think being famous is more of a hindrance, a constraint, than just letting yourself be free.
‐‐ Martin Yan
I think, being from east Tennessee, you're kinda born with a little lonesome in your soul, in your blood. You know you've got that Appalachian soul.
‐‐ Ashley Monroe
I think being gay and gay people are the most wonderful things in the world. I wish all of us could have the power and pride to benefit from what is rightfully ours. Why isn't there an enormous building in Washington called the 'National Association of Lesbian and Gay Concerns' to lobby for us?
‐‐ Larry Kramer
I think being idle is quite hard for me to do.
‐‐ Tatiana Maslany
I think being in a band is probably the only job when you're actively encouraged to be out of it most of the time.
‐‐ Martin Gore
I think being in love with life is a key to eternal youth.
‐‐ Doug Hutchison
I think being in the public eye can only help me launch into the world of fashion.
‐‐ Johnny Weir
I think being mean to people in high school is healthy. It's sort of like you're in this situation with all these other kids and sometimes you need to get your aggression out. And if you'd had people be mean to you before, it really does build character.
‐‐ Lizzy Caplan
I think being nice and being safe is unfair to yourself when you have big dreams as a woman. I think you have to prepare yourself that not everyone in this world has the same personality... The one thing I've chosen to be great at in my life is singing - so why not be proud that I'm great at it?
‐‐ Jessie J
I think being on a constraint with money makes you much more creative.
‐‐ Anne Wojcicki
I think being on a film set for such a long time made me a technical actor without realizing it.
‐‐ Daniel Radcliffe
I think being on a set where people aren't being treated as equals, and with just a common level of decency and respect, is really uncomfortable.
‐‐ Gaby Hoffmann
I think being on a TV show is amazing but also, people get kind of used to seeing you a certain way and so it becomes a challenge to break free from that in a way.
‐‐ Aubrey Plaza
I think being on 'Glee' is such a great experience, but I think the best part was when I did 'All By Myself', because I love that song.
‐‐ Charice Pempengco
I think being on 'Weeds,' in general, makes it hard to think of me as Nemo anymore.
‐‐ Alexander Gould
I think being open-minded about what Nature is trying to tell you is the key to being creative and successful.
‐‐ Bonnie Bassler
I think being optimistic is ensuring your success. If you start out saying 'I've got this problem,' or 'I'm angry at that,' you will not succeed.
‐‐ George Takei
I think being raised by a single mother put me on the outside, and I would watch my mother's married friends and think, 'Why does she put him down in public?' or, 'Why is he so rude to her?' It seemed to me that there were very few marriages where the couple were genuinely in a supportive, loving partnership.
‐‐ Cherie Lunghi
I think being raised spending so much time outdoors was really important - while you're in it, you might not know, but now I think of the things I was thankful for.
‐‐ Jewel
I think being self-referential is really narcissistic. Who's to say anybody's even thinking of you that much? But some of these movies that I've done, people still recite lines to me, even 20 years later.
‐‐ John Cusack
I think being Shaquille O'Neal would be the most amazing thing. There's nothing I would have done differently in his life. Everything he's done I think is pretty spot on, even, like, the bad rap videos, the shoes, the movies, everything.
‐‐ David Chang
I think being shy or a little bit more mild-mannered is more how you treat people and how you go about your business, not necessarily how you dress or things of that nature.
‐‐ Colin Kaepernick
I think being snobby about the kind of storytelling people do, it just irks me. It irks me. And in fact, it's one of the things that drives me to make as many horror movies as I do.
‐‐ Jason Blum
I think being sublimely happy is the only thing I could ever hope for in life.
‐‐ Lacey Schwimmer
I think being tortured as a virtue is a kind of antiquated sense of what it is to be an artist. It comes out of that Symbolist idea, back to Rimbaud and all that disordering of the senses and all of that being some exalted state. When I've been that way, I've always been less exalted than I would have liked.
‐‐ Mary Karr
I think being very thin has had a lot to do with how I've been cast.
‐‐ Ben Whishaw
I think belief is like having the first Microsoft Windows - it's so rudimentary, in the human brainwork, it's so obviously a sham.
‐‐ Rupert Everett
I think Ben Bernanke and Tim Geithner shared the view that they shouldn't be in the business of bailouts, but you know, you're not in the business of bailouts until you frankly think you need to be.
‐‐ Andrew Ross Sorkin
I think Benjamin Bratt is the most dreamy... he's dreamy! And I love the fact that he's got this Peruvian heritage; he's absolutely striking.
‐‐ Sandra Bullock
I think beta males on an evolutionary basis are much more successful than the alpha males are. You don't hear much about us, but there's a lot more of us out there.
‐‐ Christopher Moore
I think better of our behaviour as individuals than I do when we see ourselves as members of a group. It's when people start forming groups that we have to watch our backs.
‐‐ John Irving
I think between The Beach Boys, The Beatles, The Rolling Stones and innumerable acts after that... rock music became a huge economic force.
‐‐ Mike Love
I think, between the tattoos, the way I dress, the way I talk, people don't think it should go together with a franchise quarterback or someone that's leading the team or representing the organization.
‐‐ Colin Kaepernick
I think Beyonce always looks great.
‐‐ Lily James
I think 'Beyond the Blue Neon' is the best I've ever done.
‐‐ George Strait
I think Bhutanese food - long dissed by every food writer out there - has gotten a bum rap.
‐‐ Hanya Yanagihara
