My big subject as a historian is how Americans divide themselves. What are the divisions that structure our political lives. Richard Nixon and Ronald Reagan were perfect foils for that story.
‐‐ Rick Perlstein
My big thesis is that although the world looks messy and chaotic, if you translate it into the world of numbers and shapes, patterns emerge and you start to understand why things are the way they are.
‐‐ Marcus du Sautoy
My big thing is to make sure the lipsticks taste good when you kiss. And, well, so far they taste pretty darn good.
‐‐ Patrick Dempsey
My biggest accomplishment has been making a transition from athlete to author.
‐‐ Kareem Abdul-Jabbar
My biggest accomplishment was playing 'Lark' on the daytime drama Port Charles because it was the most regular acting job I have had, and I had to step in and fill someone else's shoes.
‐‐ Amy Weber
My biggest advice for girls - and this is something that I wish I could have known when I was younger - is to have thick skin. It's something that you definitely develop when you get older, but when I first started, I was so obsessed with pleasing everybody. I wanted everybody to like me and to like my songs.
‐‐ Kate Voegele
My biggest advice for high school girls is to not take yourself so seriously.
‐‐ Jillian Rose Reed
My biggest ambition is never to be bored. I'm not aggressive enough to strongly run after being an actress.
‐‐ Anjelica Huston
My biggest ambition is to bring together what happens in the real world with what politicians talk about.
‐‐ Johann Lamont
My biggest ambition over everything is to have kids. It feels great. I'd love a big family.
‐‐ Rafe Spall
My biggest ambition when I was younger was to appear on stage at what was then Nimrod, which is the theatre where my father used to take me on Sunday afternoons to see matinees. The most extraordinary things used to occur on that stage.
‐‐ David Wenham
My biggest aspiration is to inspire people to do good. I believe that our wish for a harmonious world begins and ends with doing good. To inspire and empower people to focus on goodness, I wrote a new book called 'Activate Your Goodness: Transforming the World through Doing Good.'
‐‐ Shari Arison
My biggest asset is not cash - it's a large, growing, devout fanbase.
‐‐ Imogen Heap
My biggest asset is that I know how to learn, and that, I believe, will help me in the long run.
‐‐ Kangana Ranaut
My biggest beauty tip would be exfoliation, exfoliation, exfoliation! After a lifetime of almost no breakouts, I started having some pretty embarrassing ones and learned that if you don't exfoliate, your skin has a hard time shedding the old skin and therefore clogs your pores and causes zits.
‐‐ Amanda Crew
My biggest bit of advice would be to spend some time actually helping caterers or Chefs, even if it has to be for free or as an intern of culinary externship. It helps immerse yourself in what you potentially want to do.
‐‐ Giada De Laurentiis
My biggest bits of advice are, write as much as you can, finish what you start, get a thick skin, don't take crap from anyone, but also live your life and have fun. The stereotype of a writer holed up alone all day is really unhelpful. You can't write real people and real emotion if you don't let yourself experience them.
‐‐ Victoria Aveyard
My biggest blast-off hit was 'You Raise Me Up.' If you ever have a wedding or a funeral, it's a good pick.
‐‐ Josh Groban
My biggest break wasn't 'Rent;' it was the first job that ever paid me. I couldn't believe that they were paying me all that money to go around the country and do Shakespeare. I would have done it for free.
‐‐ Jesse L. Martin
My biggest celebrity crush is either Ryan Reynolds or Caleb Followill, the lead singer of Kings of Leon.
‐‐ Hillary Scott
My biggest challenge every day is to be a great mother and a great businesswoman.
‐‐ Tory Burch
My biggest challenge for myself is to be the best father I can be and be the best husband I can be.
‐‐ Sonny Bill Williams
My biggest challenge is cooking traditional French dishes, which usually require very specific techniques and methods. That's just not my style... I cook from the soul.
‐‐ Aaron Sanchez
My biggest challenge is to not do urban movies for the rest of my life, those alpha hoodies.
‐‐ John Boyega
My biggest challenge is trust, and really believing that trust, in letting things just happen personally and professionally and trust with myself. But I'm getting better at it.
‐‐ Katherine Moennig
My biggest challenge was to make sure that the songs I did were who I am.
‐‐ Justin Timberlake
My biggest challenge will be to play the totally submissive woman. It takes a toll on you when you play someone who's far removed from your personality.
‐‐ Regina King
My biggest change is what is important to me, and what is not. What's worthy worrying about, and what is not. When we're younger, we tend to spend too much time worrying and going over the unnecessary. I'm no longer running the hamster wheel.
‐‐ John Schneider
My biggest competitor? Myself, mentally.
‐‐ Ashton Eaton
My biggest complaint about drivers out in the country has tended to be that they're not in a great hurry to get where they're going. This is particularly true of old men wearing hats. If you get behind an old guy wearing a hat on a winding road, you might as well just phone ahead on your cell and tell your friends you're going to be late.
‐‐ Linwood Barclay
My biggest complaint with tights is that they do not accommodate skinny-ankled people like myself.
‐‐ Zooey Deschanel
My biggest concern about the market is the force that acts to drive down price, because I think that's destructive to authors as well as publishers. Our biggest battle is to underline the value of intellectual property.
‐‐ Jonathan Galassi
My biggest concern is that America is drifting towards mediocrity and that people don't recognize - and by people I'm meaning Washington - don't recognize the sense of urgency and the fact that I don't think this is a crisis anymore. I think it's an emergency.
‐‐ Howard Schultz
My biggest crisis is that I don't understand what young people like.
‐‐ Ma Huateng
My biggest criticism is how can people be so easily satisfied? Even people with talent.
‐‐ Vivienne Westwood
My biggest deal is I just want to do my job.
‐‐ Brock Osweiler
My biggest deterrent to getting the workout I need is just that my days are so full and so busy.
‐‐ Christie Brinkley
My biggest disappointment is that once I'm finished working on the characters, I really do expect to see them in the flesh one day.
‐‐ Kimberly Willis Holt
My biggest 'don't' from the past? Picking my face!
‐‐ Bethenny Frankel
My biggest dream and my biggest accomplishment was to be on HBO and 'True Detective.' It was a show that I just fell in love with.
‐‐ Adria Arjona
My biggest dream for this company is to restore it - to bring Time Warner back to the position that I think it once had and, even better than that, to make it the greatest company in the media and entertainment world.
‐‐ Richard Parsons
My biggest dream from the beginning - besides Evanescence - is scoring film and writing music for film.
‐‐ Amy Lee
My biggest dream is to win four Majors in a year.
‐‐ Guan Tianlang
My biggest dream since I was a kid was to be the woman sneaking on the pirate ship dressed like a man, who was this great sword fighter, and the captain fell in love with her.
‐‐ Maria Bello
My biggest enemy for the longest time was my head. When I first became successful, it made me anxious because I was overthinking everything, and you hear so many 'fail' stories.
‐‐ Chet Faker
My biggest entertainment in Moscow was to go to the subway and watch people. When American students visited, I watched them; I learned English from them.
‐‐ Roustam Tariko
My biggest error? Something that is to happen yet.
‐‐ Ayrton Senna
My biggest excuse to others and myself was that I had writer's block, as if it was some kind of illness.
‐‐ Mary Garden
My biggest extravagances are also investments. I have several houses in California, a house in Nashville, an office complex, and I bought the old home place in Tennessee. They are different places for me to write, but I can turn right around and sell them.
‐‐ Dolly Parton
