I understand the rock star deal having been one and still going out strapping my guitar on and performing. Now, I probably do 30 or 40 dates a year and I get to relive how I felt at 19 when I played in some really bad bands.
‐‐ David Cassidy
I understand the rules of Superman - not necessarily better than anyone else - but better than a normal filmmaker would. After doing 'Watchmen' and digging that deep into the why of superheroes, when Superman is presented to you, I felt like I was in a unique position to say 'I get this guy. I know what this is.'
‐‐ Zack Snyder
I understand the sacrifices American servicemen and women have made to protect freedom and democracy in my country and around the world.
‐‐ Psy
I understand the Saudis have been named because fifteen of the nineteen hijackers were from Saudi Arabia.
‐‐ Sibel Edmonds
I understand the Second Amendment. I respect the Second Amendment. I think we need to use common sense tools to keep the American people safe, to keep our streets safe.
‐‐ Eric Holder
I understand the self-loathing and the resentment, and the discipline that it takes to sit down in front of a typewriter or computer every single day, whether it's going well or not going well.
‐‐ David Duchovny
I understand the seriousness of concussions.
‐‐ Peyton Manning
I understand the significance of being one of 18 senators in Oklahoma history.
‐‐ James Lankford
I understand the worries of many - not only here in this auditorium -, and some have already written to me to say that technical progress has lowered the threshold that stops people from helping themselves to protected works without the slightest embarrassment.
‐‐ Johannes Rau
I understand them. I understand where they came from, what their lifestyle was there. But my parents didn't push us to be like them. They said do whatever you think right, but remember the important things in life.
‐‐ Ofra Haza
I understand there are a lot of people looking up to me.
‐‐ Rima Fakih
I understand there's damage control to do on my image, but people are always gonna have their opinion of me no matter what. I understand 100 people may like me and 1,000 people may hate me. That's fine.
‐‐ Ndamukong Suh
I understand those who don't like me.
‐‐ Vanessa Paradis
I understand Twitter has become popular among politicians. This technology allows them to stay in perpetual contact with their constituents. The electorate now has instant information about what politicians have been up to.
‐‐ P. J. O'Rourke
I understand Twitter much more than I understand Tumblr.
‐‐ Rowan Blanchard
I understand welfare because I lived it. I understand the difference between a want and a need. The Republican Party promised to bring welfare change. We must deliver on this promise.
‐‐ Paul LePage
I understand what happens to the brain when people are near death, and I had always believed there were good scientific explanations for the heavenly out-of-body journeys described by those who narrowly escaped death.
‐‐ Eben Alexander
I understand what it feels like not to like aspects of yourself. There have been times that I have felt really terrible about the way I look. I have the seed of that feeling.
‐‐ Gwyneth Paltrow
I understand what it is for a woman to want to protect their children and give them the best they can.
‐‐ Annie Lennox
I understand what it is to go through emotional trauma and retreat and go into the world of your imagination. I understand how art and music can be a place of safety in a world of reinvention.
‐‐ Sam Taylor-Wood
I understand what it's like to come with your family, and to uproot yourself and come to another culture. You need a lot of support. People say, 'She's got her daughter; she's got her husband.' Yeah, but she hasn't got anyone else.
‐‐ Emma Thompson
I understand what it's like to go to hospitals and there's no medicine, and the best thing you have to give the patients is compassion.
‐‐ Sharon Stone
I understand what my gift is, which is making people laugh, hopefully. It's more on that level. I don't need to be a leading man, I'm fine with that.
‐‐ Chris Kattan
I understand what rappers are talking about. I think rap is less about educating people about the black community and more about making money.
‐‐ Dennis Rodman
I understand what's it like to work all week and on Friday night just want to go and leave your brain at the door, buy some popcorn and be thrilled by something.
‐‐ Don Cheadle
I understand what songs like 'Mr Brightside' mean to people. They will last forever.
‐‐ Brandon Flowers
I understand what training camp is for. It's needed. It's necessary, so it's just one of those things that you have to put yourself through and it makes you better. It gets you in good shape, so it's necessary.
‐‐ Logan Mankins
I understand when people think dressage is boring. But while your standard horse is like driving a Fiesta, our horses are like driving Formula One cars. I can't breathe without the horse reacting. You are training another being to become really responsive and athletic and powerful.
‐‐ Lee Pearson
I understand why creative people like dark, but American audiences don't like dark. They like story. They do not respond to nervous breakdowns and unhappy episodes that lead nowhere. They like their characters to be a part of the action. They like strength, not weakness, a chance to work out any dilemma.
‐‐ Leslie Moonves
I understand why it's hard to pin me down because I really relate to so many things. Like, for example, when people ask me what's my favorite music, I can't tell them. I love everything.
‐‐ Lindsay Pearce
I understand why marriages break up over golf. I can't even talk about my own handicap because it's too upsetting.
‐‐ Shia LaBeouf
I understand why offices need to have office parties. I understand why offices need to have betting pools. No matter what the job, you need things to foster camaraderie and let off steam.
‐‐ Drew Goddard
I understand why parents worry about books - they're worried about their kids. They want to keep their kids safe. But parents aren't always realistic.
‐‐ Lauren Myracle
I understand why people achieve a level of fame and disappear, I never understood it before, but it's an attractive prospect to walk away from it all.
‐‐ John Hawkes
I understand why people do vote on the conservative side of the ticket because people have a tendency to go for strong governments when really, from an idealistic point of view, it's a bad thing.
‐‐ David Lloyd
I understand why people might be interested. But I just don't talk about my personal life. It's a decision I made a long time ago, before I ever even knew anyone would be interested in my personal life.
‐‐ Anderson Cooper
I understand why people went nuts for 'The Artist.' We use words so much, it's nice to be able to explore a different way of communication, to be able to express silently what someone - or something - is thinking or feeling.
‐‐ Andy Serkis
I understand why so many Americans are fed up with government. The 112th Congress was almost universally derided as the worst ever. It was the most polarized body since the end of Reconstruction, according to one study, and I grew embarrassed by its partisan bickering, inactivity, and refusal to address the vital challenges facing America.
‐‐ Olympia Snowe
I understand why society, especially American society, is gravitating toward fairy tales, given our economy. We've been exploring the world of witches and wizards for years. We've been exploring the world of vampires for years. Clearly the public - I mean, I feel like all of this was ushered in by 'Harry Potter' - in my own fannish beliefs.
‐‐ Ginnifer Goodwin
I understand why some kid in his bedroom in Wisconsin thinks downloading songs couldn't hurt anyone. True fans will buy the CD or go see the movie after downloading, but to say it doesn't affect anyone - come on.
‐‐ Rob Zombie
I understand why the Tories will be gunning for Alastair Campbell because they fear his campaigning skills.
‐‐ Peter Mandelson
I understand working-class culture, tribalism and the ethos of violence, so I make films about these things.
‐‐ Nick Love
I understand your new play is full of single entendres.
‐‐ George S. Kaufman
I understood at a very early age that in nature, I felt everything I should feel in church but never did. Walking in the woods, I felt in touch with the universe and with the spirit of the universe.
‐‐ Alice Walker
I understood early on that I was not the best-looking girl in the room. But I knew my advantage was a hard work ethic and I was ambitious: I knew I could be a great model.
‐‐ Erin O'Connor
I understood from a very young age that school was important and that my parents were making great sacrifices for me. Every morning I saw my father get up and go to a job that he didn't really like. They came to France for the same reasons all immigrants move to another country - so their kids could have a better way of life.
‐‐ Omar Sy
I understood from an early age what being competitive means.
‐‐ Tamara Ecclestone
I understood immediately that to get success I had to make for the front door, not for the back one.
‐‐ Jean Gabin
I understood it's a business as far as when you're drafting someone, and you want a guy you can trust. But there were no questions on my ability or character.
‐‐ Stefon Diggs
