‐‐ Charlie Simpson
I understand how important hair is to a woman's self-esteem and confidence.
‐‐ Cat Deeley
I understand how success is judged and calculated in the coaching profession. That's really all I care about. You go about this business a certain way. Everybody has a certain style and opportunities that are presented to them during your career. When it's over, I'll be judged by that. I care more about the people I work with.
‐‐ Mike McCarthy
I understand how the economy actually works.
‐‐ Carly Fiorina
I understand human needs. I grew up where far too many people lived day to day without elemental needs like food and shelter.
‐‐ Naveen Jain
I understand I'm a sinner. I'm not perfect, and I need a Savior, and that I'm not going to make it to Heaven on merits and doing good things.
‐‐ Matt Holliday
I understand I'm supposed to be feminine and dainty, but I'm not. There are two sides to the coin. People are more impressed with things that I do because they almost treat you as if you're handicapped if you're a woman... people can be impressed that I can play a few chords on the guitar.
‐‐ Kesha
I understand it's difficult but you've got to think about yourself, you know, and not just follow the crowd.

‐‐ James McBride
I understand it's my role to realize people's dreams.
‐‐ Ayumi Hamasaki
I understand it's my role to realize people's dreams. I'm O.K. with that so long as my songs are my own. No one can take my songs away from me.
‐‐ Ayumi Hamasaki
I understand men much better than most women I know.
‐‐ Catherine Bell
I understand now that God trusts me enough to give me three kids - Marvin Jr., Mikaila and Madisson - who totally depend on me. They know I'm going to be there for them no matter what.
‐‐ Marvin Sapp
I understand now that the vulnerability I've always felt is the greatest strength a person can have. You can't experience life without feeling life. What I've learned is that being vulnerable to somebody you love is not a weakness, it's a strength.
‐‐ Elisabeth Shue
I understand now why Hillary Clinton always wore navy blue pantsuits. Remember, for four years? If you have one or two themes, then you have the same shoes, the same bag. Otherwise, it's a nightmare.
‐‐ Amy Klobuchar
I understand people, and I think that my life and my history and what I represent can relate to a lot of the women, the independents, the moderate voters.
‐‐ Mia Love
I understand people have doubts, but I'm totally clean.

‐‐ Mandy Moore
I understand people want to hold on to their roots.
‐‐ Mariah Carey

‐‐ Sparky Anderson
I understand personally that it is frustrating to lose presidential elections by narrow margins.
‐‐ James Baker
I understand politicos gotta make bank. But cloistering with the Hollywood elite is not how you prove you're a man of the people.
‐‐ John Ridley
I understand popular entertainment better than anyone. I want to have the world's No. 1 tennis player, the hottest movie, the biggest artist.
‐‐ Simon Fuller
I understand quarterly billing, how the record companies run.
‐‐ Nikki Sixx
I understand Spanish better than I speak it.
‐‐ Julian Castro

‐‐ Zach Galifianakis
I understand that a lot of girls feel encouraged by what I have been able to do, but I've never felt like I'm a role model. I'm not concerned with building a great legacy or anything because I'll be dead so it won't matter.
‐‐ Tavi Gevinson
I understand that absinthe makes the tart grow fonder.
‐‐ Ernest Dowson
I understand that anything actors are doing, good or bad, is motivated by fear.
‐‐ Baz Luhrmann

‐‐ Kevin Hart
I understand that, but this disc shows the type of music that I've always liked and wanted to make.
‐‐ Richard Marx
I understand that computers, which I once believed to be but a hermaphrodite typewriter-cum-filing cabinet, offer the cyber literate increased ability to communicate. I do not think this is altogether a bad thing, however it may appear on the surface.
‐‐ David Mamet
I understand that Detroit was a pretty rough place to grow up in the '70s and '80s.
‐‐ Buzz Aldrin
I understand that fans think short-term, and there's nothing wrong with that. You live or you die in the short term. But I believe in our system, and when you do that, you don't make knee-jerk decisions.

I understand that finance can be very complex.
‐‐ Kevin Harrington
I understand that, for some, everything is political.
‐‐ Blake Farenthold

‐‐ Tony Abbott
I understand that I have a certain look that can be used to my advantage. I know the power of that when I walk into a room and talk to people, and I can use it as an advertising tool. Now I am actually selling me, my face, my thoughts. So I am my guy.
‐‐ Tom Ford
I understand that I'm a role model.
‐‐ Carnie Wilson

‐‐ Cynthia Nixon
I understand that if you set out to be a celebrity, then you asked for it, but all I wanted to be was an actor.
‐‐ Gwyneth Paltrow
I understand that in some families both parents have to work, so the kids are home alone eating more processed foods. But if the kids know how to make oatmeal or eggs in the morning or pasta or a lentil soup at night - we're giving them real survival tools.
‐‐ Tamra Davis
I understand that in some industries, the input cost of energy is a major factor in whether an industry is going to locate in the United States or go elsewhere.
‐‐ Mitt Romney

‐‐ Gary Locke
I understand that in TV, people like likable people. In film, you can get away with playing a terrible person. In TV, you're in people's homes every week.
