‐‐ John Krasinski
Probably the biggest influence on my career was the late John Hersey, who, while he was at 'The New Yorker,' wrote one of the masterpieces of narrative non-fiction, 'Hiroshima.'

‐‐ Hampton Sides
Probably the biggest temptation that young writers face is to be entertaining, to show your bag of tricks and do a bit of tap dancing. I read a lot of things, and I keep seeing this brocade of voice where someone is trying to be too pally with you or ingratiating on the page.

Probably the biggest thing that surprises people is that I am obsessed with hockey. I grew up in the Boston area so I am obsessed with hockey since I was a little kid.
‐‐ Rob Zombie

‐‐ Richard Brautigan
Probably the earliest memories for me would be going to restaurants with my family.
‐‐ Alexander Wang
Probably the first time I left Italy was to travel by train to Lourdes. I went with my mother and my grandmother - who was a very religious person - so it was a pilgrimage of sorts. I remember it as a very intense, but beautiful experience.
‐‐ Andrea Bocelli
Probably the first time I was a boss was when I was associate dean of the graduate school at the University of Southern California. I was in my early 30s.
‐‐ Ruth J. Simmons
Probably the geekiest attribute that I have of them all is that I've always had a hard time meeting friends. Like no matter where I grew up and I moved around, I always had a hard time.

‐‐ Theodore Roosevelt
Probably the happiest period in life most frequently is in middle age, when the eager passions of youth are cooled, and the infirmities of age not yet begun; as we see that the shadows, which are at morning and evening so large, almost entirely disappear at midday.
‐‐ Eleanor Roosevelt
Probably the label 'Jesus freak' is fine with me. Because I know who I am.

‐‐ Scott Speedman
Probably the most dramatic pieces in my wardrobe would be capes.
‐‐ Tyson Chandler
Probably the most formative experience was reading the 'Foundation' trilogy when I was about twelve years old. That wasn't the first science fiction I had ever read, but it's something that stands out in my memory as having had a big impact on me.

Probably the one Bible passage that is read by Jews and Roman Catholics, Protestants, Islam, more than any other chapter is Psalm 23. And in Psalm 23 there is a verse that says, 'Surely, yea though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil.'
‐‐ Robert H. Schuller
Probably the only place where a man can feel really secure is in a maximum security prison, except for the imminent threat of release.
‐‐ Germaine Greer
Probably the only type of cosmetic surgery I'd consider is having my bust reduced. It's alright for my current role in 'The Marquise' because it's a costume drama, which means boned corsets and a bit of cleavage, but it's a drag otherwise.
‐‐ Kate O'Mara
Probably the person who said the only color in Los Angeles is green was right.
‐‐ Anna Deavere Smith
Probably the reason it's a little hard to break away from the album format completely is, if you're getting a band together in the studio, it makes financial sense to do more than one song at a time. And it makes more sense, if you're going to all the effort of performing and doing whatever else, if there's a kind of bundle.
‐‐ David Byrne

‐‐ Shia LaBeouf
Probably the simplest hypothesis... is that there may be a slow process of annihilation of matter.

Probably the single most important thing about the Nobel Prize for most people is whether they get the coveted parking space on campus.
‐‐ Saul Perlmutter
