Like ministers of information, consultants condense the message, smooth out the dissonances, unify the rhetoric, and then repeat and amplify it ad nauseam through the client's rank and file.

Like, Mission Of Burma to me always sounded almost like they were part of the British Arty New Wave. I kind of like that. I like not being able to tell the difference.
‐‐ Graham Coxon
Like Moscow, I wish to lay the foundation of the Chinese Republic deeply in the minds of the young generation - the workers of tomorrow.
‐‐ Sun Yat-sen
Like most actors, I've always been grateful for Chinese restaurants; they were often the only places that stayed open late enough for performers to get hot food after the show.
‐‐ Ginger Rogers
Like most Americans, I feel disgusted when we see people make decisions based on party politics rather than a solution that is best for the country.
‐‐ Paul Sadler
Like most Americans, I hope and wish is that there is a peaceful resolution to the Middle East conflict. Unfortunately, there are extremists on both sides who oppose a peaceful resolution and instead choose violence.
‐‐ Darrell Issa
Like most Americans of my age, I was very impressed by the dynamic capacities of the law, demonstrated by the Civil Rights Movement and then Watergate, animated by Sam Ervin's mantra that no person is above the law.
‐‐ Scott Turow
Like most animals, we're wired to associate height with power.
‐‐ Helen Fisher
Like most art forms, writing is part instinct and part craft. The craft part is the part that can be taught, and that can make a crucial difference to lots of writers.
‐‐ Matt Haig
Like most artists, I live out of a suitcase.
‐‐ CeeLo Green
Like most athletes, I like to go home and relax. I try not to bring the game home with me. I might play some video games that are, let's just say, for mature audiences only. And I might get some flak for this, but I like to watch 'Seinfeld.' Sometimes, laughter is the best medicine.
‐‐ Nick Ferguson
Like most authors, I also love to read.
‐‐ Aprilynne Pike
Like most celebrities, of course, I adore all the Mario games.
‐‐ Josie Maran
Like most Christians, I believe the Genesis account of creation is a description of six different stages of creation, each of which may have taken eons of time.
‐‐ Tony Campolo
Like most citizens of popular and international urban centres, I don't take advantage of the cultural opportunities. Perhaps this comes from growing up in suburbia. Home is where you eat, sleep, read, watch television and ignore your parents. It is not where you go to the ballet and then attend a heated panel discussion about it afterwards.
‐‐ Sloane Crosley
Like most comics, I tried to come up with a sitcom idea that was based around my life. And it didn't work out. But maybe because it didn't work out, that's why I ended up on 'Breaking Bad;' I don't know.
‐‐ Bill Burr
Like most creative people I don't fit well into boxes.
‐‐ Laurell K. Hamilton
Like most dancers, I love lip stains! We hate gloss because hair gets stuck in it.
‐‐ Heather Morris
Like most early enthusiasts, I always thought the way the Internet encouraged multitasking made users less vulnerable to manipulation, while simultaneously exploiting even more of our brain's capacity than before. Apparently not.
‐‐ Douglas Rushkoff
Like most fans of 'So You Think You Can Dance,' I wouldn't know a pasodoble if it beat me with a rake.
‐‐ Rob Sheffield
Like most ghetto kids I knew it was important to be 'somebody' so I became a good soccer player, because excelling at a sport seemed to make you special.
‐‐ Vidal Sassoon
Like most guys, I don't come to beauty regimes naturally. I'm dragged kicking and screaming by the best in the world.
‐‐ Rob Lowe
Like most guys, I've always liked watches. I can always check the time on my phone, but having a watch is so much better.
‐‐ Andy Murray
Like most kids growing up, I had a very wide interest. I was interested in everything. I tried to take advantage of everything, from the sciences to music to writing to literature.
‐‐ Michael P. Anderson
Like most kids, I grew up singing 'This Land Is Your Land' in grammar school, but with the most radical verses neatly removed. This was before I knew it was a Woody Guthrie song.
‐‐ Steve Earle
Like most kids, my dad played. He would drag us out to the course and make us shag balls for him and caddy and all that kind of stuff.
‐‐ Tom Lehman
Like most kids, you don't want to do what your folks want you to do. You've got your own thing.
‐‐ Jeff Bridges
Like most Latinas, I'm not afraid to speak my mind.
‐‐ Cristina Saralegui
Like most lit nerds, I'm a voracious reader. I never got enough poetry under my belt growing up but I do read it - some of my favorites, Gina Franco and Angela Shaw and Cornelius Eady and Kevin Young, remind me daily that unless the words sing and dance, what's the use of putting them down on paper.
‐‐ Junot Diaz
Like most manic depressives, some of my symptoms included racing thoughts that I simply had to act upon - flying from New York to Paris and taking the train to Berlin; flying to Argentina in the middle of the night; spending tens of thousands of dollars on unnecessary garments, dinners and gifts.
‐‐ Andy Behrman
Like most markets, Da Jing is most alive just after dawn, when the elementary-school children in their uniforms and bright red kerchiefs set off through narrow streets, marking the start of another frenzied day of commerce.
‐‐ Evan Osnos
Like most meaningful activities, campaigns are team games.
‐‐ Alastair Campbell
Like most men, I can't say I am thrilled my hair's falling out, but then, if I really cared, I suppose I would wear a wig, get transplants, or start taking special pills, so I am obviously just putting up with it.
‐‐ Robert Webb
Like most modern Americans, I assume individuality is not only a fundamental value, but a goal in life, an art form.
‐‐ Howard Rheingold
Like most musicians, I'm good at becoming immersed in the music that I am currently working on. We seldom lift up our heads to contemplate even the music we will be doing in the future, let alone what we've done in the past.
‐‐ Tony Levin
Like most New Yorkers I was shell-shocked immediately after 9/11 and couldn't put into words what I was feeling.
‐‐ Christine Lavin
Like most North Americans, I'd been raised on the notion that milk is the first food, and everybody must like it because it's so good and so important for growing up and for being healthy.
‐‐ Marvin Harris
Like most of Italy, Neapolitans like their food, and there are restaurants everywhere. But to make like a true Neapolitan, grab a pizza from a street vendor and eat it there and then. We tried a pizza that's folded over four times to make it nice and portable, then you eat it straight out of paper, like fish and chips.
‐‐ Paul Hollywood
Like most of my friends in school, I was a member of multiple circulating libraries; and all of us, to begin with, borrowed and read the same things.
‐‐ Aravind Adiga
Like most of the world's population I'm into coffee, but in a properly big and important way. My perfect weekend would start with a pint of coffee.
‐‐ Jimmy Carr
Like most of those who study history, he (Napoleon III) learned from the mistakes of the past how to make new ones.
‐‐ A. J. P. Taylor
Like most of us, I'm used to juggling about 52 roles in life. Wife. Mother. Sister. Friend. Author. Sometimes I feel a bit 'multiple-personality'.
‐‐ Sophie Kinsella
Like most of us, Joe Biden has had moments when he's led the league in mistakes or verbal gaffes. The difference is his were on a public stage where explanations are almost always made out by pundits to be excuses.
‐‐ Mike Barnicle
Like most other states, Illinois has little regulation of the economic interests of legislators and relies on public disclosure to keep the lawmaking honest.
‐‐ Bill Dedman
Like most parents, I think, my children have been the source of some of my most intense joys and despairs, my deepest moral dilemmas and greatest moral achievements.
‐‐ Alison Gopnik
Like most parents, I want everything for my kids that I didn't have. But I don't intend to spoil them. I just enjoy everything that comes naturally with parenthood.
‐‐ Curtis Joseph
Like most people I can be lazy, so it's nice to have a goal or deadline or reason to work out. I feel better when I get to exercise, or when I'm outdoors. I like to hike, swim and run, and I love to play soccer.
‐‐ Viggo Mortensen
Like most people, I can be very easily hurt.
‐‐ Joyce Carol Oates
Like most people, I find watching the lazy and quiet underwater realm of a big aquarium exceptionally calming.
