Part of me becomes the characters I'm writing about. I think readers feel like they are there, the way I am, as a result.
‐‐ Louis Sachar
Part of me believes that the completed record is the final measure of a pop musician's accomplishment, just as the completed film is the final measure of a film artist's accomplishments.
‐‐ Jon Landau
Part of me feels that I'm letting people down by not being as interesting as my books.
‐‐ Jim Crace
Part of me feels you can't say you were truly in love if it didn't last. If I end up getting married and having kids, that's when I'll know it's real - because it lasted.
‐‐ Taylor Swift
Part of me has certainly been motivated by wanting to take a stand against the restrictions that made Mother give up so much.
‐‐ Susan Faludi
Part of me is a sexual exhibitionist.
‐‐ Kylie Minogue
Part of me is afraid to get close to people because I'm afraid that they're going to leave.
‐‐ Marilyn Manson
Part of me is drawn to the nature of sadness because I think life is sad, and sadness is not something that should be avoided or denied. It's a fact of life, like contradictions are.
‐‐ Robert Redford
Part of me is probably more conservative than people realise. I like my old string quartets, I don't like music that's trippy for trippy's sake.
‐‐ Bjork
Part of me is very shy.
‐‐ Amanda Eliasch
Part of me longs to do a job where there's not a gray area.
‐‐ Jodie Foster
Part of me looks at the gay movement now and worries that we're losing our individuality.
‐‐ Boy George
Part of me loves to control and to exert power, but it's not the best part of me at all. What I am slowly learning is that allowing others to have power too makes us a better organisation - many brains are simply better than one.
‐‐ Carne Ross
Part of me really wants to believe that hope is entirely available to all of us. We don't have to embrace it. It would be sentimental and silly to say that we all need it, but it is absolutely available to all of us.
‐‐ Colum McCann
Part of me relates to Perez Hilton because he's an outcast. I don't have a lot of friends who are actresses. They're catty, and they'll cut you down. I like that Perez is proud of who he is and doesn't care what anybody thinks.
‐‐ Amanda Bynes
Part of me sees myself as talented, and the other part sees me as strange. Ideas get stuck in your head and nothing changes them. Not even fame.
‐‐ Mika
Part of me still feels like I've never had the opportunity to properly express all my earliest influences, so for now, I find isolation to be my biggest influence.
‐‐ Sturgill Simpson
Part of me suspects that I'm a loser, and the other part of me thinks I'm God Almighty.
‐‐ John Lennon
Part of me thinks that innovation, real innovation in health care delivery, needs to happen from the bottom to the top.
‐‐ Malcolm Gladwell
Part of me wanted something bloody and really fun.
‐‐ Nicole Sullivan
Part of me wanted to disappear into a cave in India, and I did end up going on retreats there, but, don't ask me why, I always felt very strongly that the point for me was to find a way to live a truly spiritual life in the modern day world and be able to work with all the positive aspects of our cultural and technological advancements.
‐‐ Linus Roache
Part of me wants to be married and have everybody around the table for Christmas. But when you're married, your life becomes integrated solely with that person. There are too many characters running around inside me. Maybe they should all be married to somebody different.
‐‐ Cindy Williams
Part of me wonders what it would have been like to have had my first experience of India in a normal way, rather than through the eyes of a film.
‐‐ Joel Edgerton
Part of me worries about upsetting people, because we all have perceptions about Olympic champions.
‐‐ Bradley Wiggins
Part of me would love to have been a leading lady because there's a lot of glamour that goes with that and a lot of applause, but I've been very blessed.
‐‐ Selma Blair
Part of Michael's uniqueness, I think, comes from the fact that he worked with music. He had a tape which he gave me with many different compositions, really eclectic. These pieces of music were sources of inspiration.
‐‐ Madeleine Stowe
Part of my act is meant to shake you up. It looks like I'm being funny, but I'm reminding you of other things. Life is tough, darling. Life is hard. And we better laugh at everything; otherwise, we're going down the tube.
‐‐ Joan Rivers
Part of my advantage is that my strength is economic forecasting, but that only works in free markets, when markets are smarter than people. That's how I started. I watched the stock market, how equities reacted to change in levels of economic activity, and I could understand how price signals worked and how to forecast them.
‐‐ Stanley Druckenmiller
Part of my affinity with urban music comes from being on 'Kids Incorporated,' 'cos we used to sit around and listen to Chaka Khan and Prince, and I got influenced by all that. Then gangsta rap got started, and I was infatuated with that - maybe that's why I'm fascinated by guns.
‐‐ Fergie
Part of my agenda has been to support art that engages life with people.
‐‐ Jeffrey Deitch
Part of my ancestry is Cherokee. And in that tradition, you become an adult when you're 52.
‐‐ Alice Walker
Part of my attraction to ancient art is that there is an element of risk, of speculation.
‐‐ Michael Steinhardt
Part of my childhood was spent in Sydney and part in rural New South Wales, at Armidale.
‐‐ John Cornforth
Part of my daily regime is my glucosamine and, of course, a multitude of multivitamins. Branched-chain amino acids, glutamine, of course protein. I have one protein shake a day, and that is immediately after my training.
‐‐ Dwayne Johnson
Part of my desire to play music was because I wanted to escape the art world and the politics of it; the petty gossip-y art world. But you know, I feel like they're both equal forms of expression.
‐‐ Kim Gordon
Part of my driving desire as a pastor is to remove every obstacle except the cross that would keep people from coming to faith in Christ.
‐‐ Mark Batterson
Part of my evolution has been to learn how painful most people's childhoods are. They grow up not liking themselves, not loving themselves. Ask people if they were lovable the minute they were born, and watch them sit back and have to think about it. One lady said, 'I suppose so.' That's painful.
‐‐ Bernie Siegel
Part of my growing up was always trying to make my parents proud and always trying to keep them happy. I think part of what held them together was my involvement in sports.
‐‐ Jeff Garcia
Part of my head will always be in the years after World War II - the five years before Korea started.
‐‐ Pete Hamill
Part of my heritage being Korean, it's going to be interesting going to Korea and answering these questions dealing with North and South Korea.
‐‐ Rick Yune
Part of my humor is the fact that I love coming out of left field. I don't want people to expect what is going to happen next.
‐‐ Howie Mandel
Part of my job as a food writer is to describe food. So my work on 'Top Chef,' I feel, is an extension of that. When we give a criticism to the contestant, we want to make sure we tell them why it's not working and why it would work if they did it a different way.
‐‐ Padma Lakshmi
Part of my job as Children's Laureate is to visit schools and talk about my love of books and stories and encourage them all to do it as well - to read, to write, to never be afraid of their own voice. Because we all have something to say.
‐‐ Malorie Blackman
Part of my job at 'The Economist' was writing about HIV, and that included the grim task of reporting on the state of the global epidemic.
‐‐ Shereen El Feki
Part of my job is to advocate on my constituents' behalf to federal agencies who aren't always responsive.
‐‐ Steven Horsford
Part of my job is to get out and talk to people. I do that as much as I can.
‐‐ Rick Scott
Part of my job is to make sense of all that I hear, and to retell it in a forceful way so that the decision-makers at Treasury can hear it. At least that's how I see it.
‐‐ Elizabeth Warren
Part of my job is to make sure the Northeast is part of our defense industrial base, and New Jersey has always played a role.
‐‐ Rodney Frelinghuysen
Part of my job is to make the tough calls.
‐‐ Katharine Weymouth
Part of my job is to read the paper, watch C-Span and show things that haven't been shown or were buried.
‐‐ Michael Moore
Part of my job is to try and seduce people. It's what I get paid for, and if people get in the way of me doing my job I can be very difficult.
‐‐ Robert Powell
