The reason I go for the designers is because they make me feel good. It's about finding clothes that make you feel good as a woman. If I like it, I'll wear it. You have to go with your instincts and not be led by trends.
‐‐ Cheryl Cole
The reason I got into acting was not to explore myself. I was a reader, I didn't care about acting. I got into it in college, but I had no interest really in that, in getting up in front of anybody.
‐‐ Campbell Scott
The reason I got involved in public service, by and large, if I had to credit one thinker, one person, it would be Ayn Rand. The fight we are in here, make no mistake about it, is a fight of individualism versus collectivism.
‐‐ Paul Ryan
The reason I grew so fast in the supermarket business, without help of the banks in those days, was through my vendors. I convinced my vendors, the companies I was doing business with, if I did more business, they would do more business.
‐‐ John Catsimatidis
The reason I hate publicists is because I think if we got rid of them everything would be on equal footing.
‐‐ Adam Carolla
The reason I haven't got an agent is so that no one can contact me to offer me a film part. In case I'm tempted to do something I'll regret later.

The reason I haven't had kids yet is because I was so focused on my acting career, hoping I could get something to break.
‐‐ Katharine McPhee
The reason I keep making movies is I hate the last thing I did. I'm trying to rectify my wrongs.
‐‐ Joaquin Phoenix
The reason I keep talking about a wife and saying the word 'wife' on stage is because it seems a funny word to me. The more you say it, the more it seems to detach from that person and become this sort of abstract thing: that you would set out to find a wife, that it would be an objective like buying a new car.
‐‐ Stephen Merchant
The reason I know about 'Tomb Raider' is from when I was researching 'Elephant.' It was 1999, and I was trying to research the Columbine-massacre kids, and they had played video games, and I, at the time, had never really seen one. It was a world I didn't know.
‐‐ Gus Van Sant
The reason I like 'Breaking Bad,' which is still probably my favorite show, is Walter White. You watch him transform, and that's so fascinating. And I think. a lot of TV shows that aren't successful, it's because the characters become stagnant.
‐‐ Peter Dinklage
The reason I like doing these acting projects is because no matter how much acting I do, I'll always have music in my life. I love having both.
‐‐ Tyler Hilton
The reason I like my job is that I have this desire to create. I have this desire to create things and build things, and Google has enabled me to build and create things and to build products that are used by people all over the globe.
‐‐ Susan Wojcicki
The reason I like Portland is the idea of going to a supermarket and knowing there's no way to be recognized. L.A. is so social.
‐‐ Patrick deWitt
The reason I like the criminal justice system is there aren't Republican or Democrat victims or police officers or prosecutors. It's about respect for the rule of law!
‐‐ Trey Gowdy
The reason I like writing a memoir is because it isn't preachy.
‐‐ Donald Miller
The reason I love comics more than anything else is that the longest story will be just a few pages. With a novel, it takes so many pages to get to one thing happening.
‐‐ Sergio Aragones
The reason I love kids so much is because they're so honest, so you know right away if they like you or they don't.
‐‐ Colin Egglesfield
The reason I love Luis Palau is because this is a guy who is completely all about evangelism and reaching people and the lost with the gospel.
‐‐ Stephen Baldwin
The reason I'm a Nixonite is because of his indestructibility and resilience. He never quit.
‐‐ Roger Stone
The reason I'm an actor and am trying to make my way in drama is to move people, to affect people, to gain a response - so these people who come up to you in the street are your audience.
‐‐ Rob James-Collier
The reason I'm an I.B.M.-type guy today is that I really needed a laptop back in 1986, and I just couldn't wait for the Powerbook.
‐‐ Penn Jillette
The reason I'm drawn to it is - both the off road racing and the motorcycles on the track - it takes a lot for me to quiet my brain and anything that requires 100% of my attention and focus I find very soothing and that is the closest I get to being content.
‐‐ Dax Shepard
The reason I'm in San Diego is not because I want distance from South Africa but because I want proximity to the people I love. But I don't envy growing up in America. As ugly as aspects of it were, my biggest blessing was to be born a South African.
‐‐ Athol Fugard
The reason I'm not a neurobiologist but a cognitive psychologist is that I think looking at brain tissue is often the wrong level of analysis. You have to look at a higher level of organization.
‐‐ Steven Pinker
The reason I'm not more political is because I have music. And from a young age, I needed it. After prison, my father came to America, joined the Army, fought in Vietnam - and was exposed to Agent Orange. He died a slow, horrible death. Music was my escape.
‐‐ Gloria Estefan
The reason I'm travelling so much is because of reasons that weren't completely planned. Several of the shows became successful and were invited to go to other places and they've all happened at similar times.
‐‐ Matthew Bourne
The reason I'm writing funny books is that I wish there were more.
‐‐ Christopher Moore
The reason I met my husband was because I remembered a friend's birthday. The moral of the story is: Remember people's birthdays.
‐‐ Julianna Margulies
The reason I moved to California the first time was to build the Cobra. I thought it was stupid to have a 1918 taxicab engine in what Europeans like to call a performance car when a little American V-8 could do the job better.
‐‐ Carroll Shelby
The reason I moved to Nashville was because I was reading biographies of a lot of my country music heroes, and I thought it would be better to actually go where the history was, as opposed to just reading about it.
‐‐ Lindi Ortega
The reason I never give up hope is because everything is so basically hopeless.
‐‐ Anne Lamott
The reason I never wanted to sign with a big label was because I didn't want no one telling me how to make my music.
‐‐ Danny Brown
The reason I play music is to touch people - for selfish reasons, as well. It feels good to make someone else feel something, whether it's a kiss, a painting, good idea or it's a song.
‐‐ Dave Matthews
The reason I put make-up on or wear the costume is to try and find my own style. It's like my guitar style - I'm just trying to be an original artist.
‐‐ Miyavi
The reason I put so much energy into it at the beginning was that while there were plenty of people looking after the talkies, almost nobody was doing the same for the silents. Now there are plenty of very good historians and restorers.
‐‐ Kevin Brownlow
The reason I quit being a sales manager over twenty years now is because I hate elevator pitches. I want to write stories and show people what's in them when they read them, not tell them all about it ahead of time.
‐‐ Kurt Busiek
The reason I quit fashion was that I had had enough of spending my time always being on my knees, making other people look amazing and fabulous.
‐‐ Thierry Mugler
The reason I ran in 2006 was to make my district one of the fifteen that at the time it would have taken to switch the control of the House and stop the Bush agenda. The second priority I had was to provide health care for everybody. And the third was to do public financing of campaigns.
‐‐ John Yarmuth
The reason I really started running was for meditative purposes. I would pick some problem to have in my head while running.
‐‐ Biz Stone
The reason I spend so much of my time doing science is that the whole point of science is to help people resolve conflicting claims by saying: 'Show me the data.'
‐‐ Dean Ornish
The reason I started my transformation with the mind first is because you have to see it first and believe it before you start your journey. You have set your mind at a place called W.I.T. It's 'Whatever it Takes.'
‐‐ CeCe Peniston
The reason I started writing movies was because I kept getting parts that I just kind of stepped into. I didn't have to do a lot of work and I ended up getting sort of bored.
‐‐ Scott Caan
The reason I still love performing is that people my age, a little younger and a little older, show up to relive that thing that made them so happy all those years ago. And as long as they show up, I'll keep on keepin' on till I keel over.
‐‐ Bill Medley
The reason I stop playing songs is usually because I get sick of them, and then they find themselves back into the set list at some point.
‐‐ Ben Folds
The reason I stopped doing the band is that I wanted to do something different... Yes had become like 'Groundhog Day' for me. I loved being in the band, but it was album-tour, album-tour, different album-different tour.
‐‐ Trevor Rabin
The reason I talk to myself is that I'm the only one whose answers I accept.
‐‐ George Carlin
The reason I think I'm a good pitcher is I locate my fastball and I change speeds. Period. That's what you do to pitch. That's what pitchers have to do to win games.
‐‐ Greg Maddux
The reason I took Early Edition - besides the fact that I liked it - was that it enabled me to start a production company in New York City. It's a low-budget film company to produce and direct movies.
‐‐ Fisher Stevens
The reason I turn down 99% of a hundred, I mean a thousand, scripts is because romantic comedies are often very romantic but seldom very funny.
‐‐ Hugh Grant
