In my experience, there are plenty of bad middle-class parents: those who put their own lives and careers before those of their children and make precious little time available for their offspring, preferring instead to hire in childcare and shower them with the latest and most expensive gadgets.
‐‐ Martin Jacques
In my experience, there is a very good reason why a good-looking young woman of around 20 is willing to go out with a man over 15 years her senior - she's nuts.
‐‐ Mark Barrowcliffe
In my experience, there is only one motivation, and that is desire. No reasons or principle contain it or stand against it.
‐‐ Jane Smiley
In my experience, those who make the biggest fuss about not spending much at Christmas are generally the ones who buy what they want and eat where they want 12 months a year.
‐‐ Julian Baggini
In my experience victims are more concerned with helping their families understand that they are still connected to them. In some rare experiences information comes through that helps understand what happened.
‐‐ John Edward
In my experience with print journalists, the distinction between remarks being uttered on- or off-the-record is held sacrosanct, but the distinction between truth and falsity sometimes isn't.
‐‐ Sam Harris
In my experience with women that I've dated and my wife now, is you have to know what they care about. And even if you aren't a huge fan of it, you still have to have interest in it and it has to be genuine because women do it for men all the time.
‐‐ Tim Meadows
In my eyes, a patriot is little more than an international blackleg.
‐‐ Tariq Ali
In my eyes, I think it's important that if you're doing something you're proud of and that is genuine and authentic, you have a responsibility to bring that to as many people as possible, just for the sheer reason that there are musicians out there who are manufacturing emotions that aren't genuine.
‐‐ Chet Faker
In my eyes, I will never be up there with the Sir Steve Redgraves and the Sir Chris Hoys of this world. It's not something that drives me; I just enjoy going to the Olympic Games. Just to be mentioned in the same breath as those people is an honour for me. I don't ever think about those kind of things.
‐‐ Bradley Wiggins
In my eyes, there's no one better than Stevie Wonder. He's a top dude.
‐‐ Ed Sheeran
In my fairly disorganized life, yellow stickies are too easily lost, and as for software, I try to avoid using my computer as much more than a typewriter and a post office. I rely on my lifelong habit of daydreaming to spin my stories.
‐‐ Julia Glass
In my family and among Korean-Americans, there just is no occasion that people would get together without bibimbap. It's something that people eat when they're wanting to celebrate or have a good time with friends.
‐‐ Linda Sue Park
In my family, as in all dysfunctional families, instead of parents who act as strong and nurturing role models for their children, you get these needy people who use their children. I was the kid who tried to take on the marriage.
‐‐ John Bradshaw
In my family, as in most middle-class Indian families I knew when I was growing up, science and mathematics were held in awe.
‐‐ Aravind Adiga
In my family, growing up, the women were always the ones who were powerful, and they exuded this charisma of empowerment that I hold onto and always remember. I had some difficult times, but these strong women were always a constant.
‐‐ Mickalene Thomas
In my family, I'm short.
‐‐ Rosario Dawson
In my family, I'm the middle of three, and I'm like a lot of middle children. I was one of those kids that floated from group to group. I liked being able to be included in all the groups - the bad kids, the smart kids.
‐‐ Eileen Myles
In my family I was never known as the fighter, like I became all of a sudden.
‐‐ Jane Byrne
In my family, I would never dare to think of being Paris Hilton! And to me, that doesn't look like a happy existence - it's just not who I am.
‐‐ Eve Hewson
In my family, if I talk back to my dad, I get in trouble.
‐‐ Joel Courtney
In my family in particular, I think, there was a sense we have to work twice as hard.
‐‐ Caroline Kennedy
In my family, in the days prior to television, we liked to while away the evenings by making ourselves miserable, solely based on our ability to speak the language viciously.
‐‐ David Mamet
In my family, telling stories is just a way of life.
‐‐ Helen Oyeyemi
In my family, there was one cardinal priority - education. College was not an option; it was mandatory. So even though we didn't have a lot of money, we made it work. I signed up for financial aid, Pell Grants, work study, anything I could.
‐‐ Eva Longoria
In my family, there was one parent you asked for money and the other for permission to do things. You could never get both out of one parent.
‐‐ Julianne Moore
In my family, they were all big boozers.
‐‐ Ron Wood
In my family, we can't just sit and be together. We have to be shelling peas or husking corn or something. A larger task. Some way of being with people.
‐‐ Chuck Palahniuk
In my family, we don't die till we're 100 years old.
‐‐ Gunnar Myrdal
In my family, we let our boys have a say in what veggie side they want for dinner that night. We list off a handful of options and get them excited about helping to plan the dinner menu. They're much more inclined to finish their plates when they've helped decide what goes on them.
‐‐ Cat Cora
In my family we've always been into ethical stuff and recycling.
‐‐ Bonnie Wright
In my family, we were Americans, we were Republicans and we were Methodists.
‐‐ Hillary Clinton
In my family, we were on again off again Unitarians, partly because my father, raised Roman Catholic, had had enough of church.
‐‐ Stacey D'Erasmo
In my fantasies, I always wanted to play the ingenue, but in reality, in my bones, I am so used to playing the grandmother that I don't feel safe or even sure that I can do it.
‐‐ Camryn Manheim
In my fantasy I was always the savior. I would come to Peanuts land and save everybody. Charlie Brown would fall madly in love with me. Peppermint Patty was so jealous.
‐‐ Alicia Witt
In my father's generation, the product was 80 percent of what you were putting into the world, and your personal life was 20 percent. It now seems that 80 percent of the product I put out is silly, made-up stories and what I'm wearing.
‐‐ Angelina Jolie
In my father's later years he asked several times that I remember him the way I knew him. He said that after his death, people would talk. They would say 'things' about him and he wouldn't be there to defend himself.
‐‐ Jennifer Grant
In my fiction, there's a lot that's borrowed from music. It's never like I'm taking a lyric, but more the mood of a particular song. 'The Boy Detective Fails' was like listening to 'Eleanor Rigby' by The Beatles, this very melancholy-but-poppy song.
‐‐ Joe Meno
In my field, you can't really wear the same dress twice unless you want Isaac Mizrahi to scorn you on TV.
‐‐ Mary Lambert
In my fifth year in Beijing, I moved into a one-story brick house beside the Confucius Temple, a seven-hundred-year-old shrine to China's most important philosopher.
‐‐ Evan Osnos
In my fifties, I was still in creation mode. Now I have more of a responsibility to step back and mentor and offer wisdom, offer sign posts on the path.
‐‐ Jodie Evans
In my fifty years of experience and memory, I have seen the most amazing increase in the standard of living of a people ever achieved anywhere in the world. This is why I am so sure that our system of free competition and industrial development is sound and must be preserved.
‐‐ Charles E. Wilson
In my fight against terrorism, to me, the biggest terrorist is Obama, and the United States of America.
‐‐ Lupe Fiasco
In my film 'Queen', there was a funny moment with the bra. My director called and said they are blurring the bra. They said it is vulgar. Our director was furious about it. We are artistes... We see props as they are. A woman's bra is not a danger to the society.
‐‐ Kangana Ranaut
In my films, I either want the music to be very subtle and very buried or just put it right out in front and be super blunt with it.
‐‐ Scott Derrickson
In my films that I've directed, and my work in commercials and videos, I've rarely used handheld. It's just not something I'm drawn to, but I've seen it done very well.
‐‐ Roman Coppola
In my final year of attending a Christian sports camp in rural Missouri, the year before I started high school, they began to offer an elective Bible study group for young Christians who wanted a chance to read in the afternoons instead of learn to water-ski.
‐‐ Mallory Ortberg
In my first 15 or 20 years of authorship, I was almost never asked to give a speech or an interview. The written work was supposed to speak for itself, and to sell itself, sometimes even without the author's photograph on the back flap.
‐‐ John Updike
In my first book, 'A Return to Love', I wrote about things in the outer world that need to change - how we need to ameliorate deep poverty, heal the earth, end war.
‐‐ Marianne Williamson
