There are certainly stories that I used to tell myself as a kid that did influence 'The Cabinet of Wonders.' There's a scene in the novel where there's a flood that bursts through the castle, and one of my favorite things to do when I was a kid at school was imagine what school would be like if there was a sudden flood.

There are certainly talented instrumentalists coming from India. I see them performing all over the world.
‐‐ Zubin Mehta
There are certainly things labels can still provide that indie artists can't. They can pave the way to radio and pay big bucks for promotion.
‐‐ Sam Tsui
There are certainly times when my own everyday life seems to retreat so the life of the story can take me over. That is why a writer often needs space and time, so that he or she can abandon ordinary life and 'live' with the characters.
‐‐ Margaret Mahy
There are certainly valid reasons for taking a company private, and it's also possible that C.E.O.s perform better when monitored by a small number of owners in a private company rather than by the dispersed and often uninterested shareholders of a public corporation.
‐‐ James Surowiecki
There are challenges in terms of the measurement of VAR for what are known as nonlinear derivatives, where things like gamma and vega are important dimensions of the risk.
‐‐ John Hull
There are chapters in every life which are seldom read and certainly not aloud.
‐‐ Carol Shields
There are characters in movies who I call 'film characters.' They don't exist in real life. They exist to play out a scenario. They can be in fantastic films, but they are not real characters; what happens to them is not lifelike.
‐‐ Philip Seymour Hoffman
There are characters that become more popular as we fall in love with them.
‐‐ Dan Scanlon
There are characters that have made me uncomfortable. I did a film called 'Rob Roy,' and I played Killearn, who was this sort of greasy fallen-angel character who was voyeuristic and sleazy and really unpleasant. It was a great role, but I didn't especially enjoy living with this awful man for the length of time it took to make the movie.
‐‐ Brian Cox
There are charms made only for distant admiration.
‐‐ Samuel Johnson
There are checks and balances and broad separation of powers under the Constitution. Each organ of the State, i.e. the legislature, the executive and the judiciary, must have respect for the others and not encroach into each other's domain.
‐‐ P. Sathasivam
There are checks and balances in science. There's somebody checking the people doing the science, and then there's somebody who checks the checkers and somebody who checks the checker's checkers.
‐‐ Michael Shermer
There are children playing in the streets who could solve some of my top problems in physics, because they have modes of sensory perception that I lost long ago.
‐‐ J. Robert Oppenheimer
There are children who are working in textile businesses in Asia who would be prostitutes on the streets if they did not have those jobs.
‐‐ Lawrence Summers
There are cities that get by on their good looks, offer climate and scenery, views of mountains or oceans, rockbound or with palm trees. And there are cities like Detroit that have to work for a living.
‐‐ Elmore Leonard
There are clear cases in which 'understanding' literally applies and clear cases in which it does not apply; and these two sorts of cases are all I need for this argument.
‐‐ John Searle
There are clearly many Egyptian free-thinkers and intellectuals - lots of wonderful Egyptian artists and architects and scientists.
‐‐ Richard Engel
There are clearly many good politicians who are guided by religious belief, so the mix can work. But there's a line to be drawn. It would be hugely dangerous for a country's laws to be set by the scriptures, and particularly those of the expansionist religions.
‐‐ Zac Goldsmith
There are clearly some policies that need to change, and the reputation of the credit card industry is not high. Reforms need to take place.
‐‐ Kenneth Chenault
There are cliques in Bollywood, and people stick together, but I have always tried to stick to my work. As an industry, Bollywood is very competitive, and I'm very competitive as a person, but I've never been a part of any clique, and I've always worked with all actors and directors, all camps.
‐‐ Priyanka Chopra
There are coaches to whom winning or losing means something close to life or death. If they lose, then their life has somehow been diminished. I'm not that way, and it keeps me steady.
‐‐ Tom Landry
There are cognitive processes and limbic reactions associated with basic emotions. And you can change brain chemistry, but you're still not going to change memories and experiences in a human being.
‐‐ Helen Fisher
There are comedians that I like. I think a lot of it, you just figure out on your own. It's definitely one of those things that you get good at by doing it a lot. But I like Jim Gaffigan. Patton Oswalt. Janeane Garofalo.
‐‐ Michael Showalter
There are comedians who focus on everything that is external. They focus on politics and the news, what's going on in that city and that night.
‐‐ Mike Birbiglia
There are comics in L.A. doing impressions, and the first thing they do is hunch over and then start to do this bad Rick Moranis voice I do as well when I really get going. It's pretty horrible.
‐‐ Al Madrigal
There are comics who treat women fairly appallingly. But I can be great friends with them because I don't tend to do that ticking of boxes: it can make life too simplistic.
‐‐ Jo Brand
There are committed Indonesian filmmakers who are committed supporters of 'The Act Of Killing.'
‐‐ Joshua Oppenheimer
There are common denominators that unite all members of al-Nahda: There is no one in al-Nahda who doubts about Islam There is no one in al-Nahda that believes in extremist views of Islam.
‐‐ Rashid al-Ghannushi
There are commonalities among all the pandemics that occur, and we can learn from them. One commonality is that they all come from animals. And the other commonality is that we wait too long.
‐‐ Nathan Wolfe
There are companies that are cutting their costs by over 50% by offshoring.
‐‐ Sanjay Kumar
There are companies trying to build business within Saudi Arabia, and what they find is that if they try to bring on locals and teach them how to become senior executives, they just don't show up to work. They are not predictable as to when they'll come in and how much of their hearts are into that opportunity.
‐‐ Clayton Christensen
There are companies with management and companies with money. You can always find money. Management is the key to success in any business.
‐‐ Husnu Ozyegin
There are compelling reasons to implement a true America First immigration plan, starting with border security. We are a land of immigrants. Immigration, with assimilation, has generally been good for America.
‐‐ Niger Innis
There are competing studies on how much crime drops or doesn't drop when there are strict rules on gun possession and sale. I don't think there's any question that New York City's very tough laws have reduced violence.
‐‐ Gail Collins
There are complications in relationships between men and women. There always will be.
‐‐ Orlando Bloom
There are confirmed stories of people who can break instruments and cause them to fail by walking in a room. I'm the opposite - I can walk into a room and something will work better than it is supposed to.
‐‐ Robert Moog
There are congressmen in our congregation, judges, federal reserve governors. And there are also people who are homeless and some who are mentally ill. To be able to talk to each of those people is something that I've had to learn how to do over the years.
‐‐ James Green Somerville
There are conscious reasons and unconscious reasons why I pick something. You know, I have to be moved by the story and usually that means it has to touch me in some kind of personal place.
‐‐ Jodie Foster
There are consequences if you act militarily, and there's big consequences if you don't act.
‐‐ Dennis Ross
There are consequences if you stand up for what you believe. Heck, you might - you might lose your sponsors if you're a talk show host; or if you're running for office, you know, people not give to you or people might not vote for you.
‐‐ Louie Gohmert
There are consequences with age, so you have to evolve. I've loved becoming a filmmaker. But I would love to continue modeling, and there isn't really any job for me. It's being marginalized - that's the sad part.
‐‐ Isabella Rossellini
There are conservative people in all colours in America.
‐‐ Adepero Oduye
There are conservatives in Hollywood who make good movies. They just don't make conservative movies because that's not what gets funded.
‐‐ Rick Santorum
There are considerable advantages to using many degrees of freedom to store information, stability and controllability being perhaps the most important.
‐‐ Seth Lloyd
There are conspiracies all over the Senate floor on any day!
‐‐ Arlen Specter
There are conspiracy theorists who think I was crafted in a boardroom. Because I'm so very relatable and so very topical and so very Tumblr.
‐‐ Halsey
There are constant challenges in the drawing process, especially in a period piece, and therein lay the fun.
‐‐ Nate Powell
There are constant cycles in history. There is loss, but it is always followed by regeneration. The tales of our elders who remember such cycles are very important to us now.
‐‐ Carmen Agra Deedy
There are contemporary artists that I hate with all my heart. These are provocateurs that are without feeling. Where is the real emotion?
‐‐ Paolo Sorrentino
