This idea of trying to repeat a success doesn't interest me. It's only really done to make money.
‐‐ Agnetha Faltskog
This idea of tying me to Giuliani is quite unique. I know Rudy Giuliani. I like Rudy Giuliani. I worked with him during his administration. But we're completely different people.
‐‐ Joseph J. Lhota
This idea of universal access to basic healthcare has to be figured out as a world. No country has figured it out in part because it is driven by ideology.
‐‐ Jacqueline Novogratz
This idea that a book can either be about character and feeling, or about politics and idea, is just a false binary. Ideas are an expression of the feelings and the intense emotions we hold about the world.
‐‐ Richard Powers
This idea that being youthful is the only thing that's beautiful or attractive simply isn't true. I don't want to be an 'ageless beauty.' I want to be a woman who is the best I can be at my age.

This idea that males are physically aggressive and females are not has distinct drawbacks for both sexes.
‐‐ Katherine Dunn
This idea that once you get into politics... you are now signed up for lifelong duty being in elective office, makes a fundamental error - and that is believing that the only way you can hold progressive views and implement them is in elective office.
‐‐ Matt Gonzalez
This idea that the open exchange of information can have a positive global impact is being proven over and over again around the world nearly on a daily basis - and for Secretary Clinton to recognize that, I think, is a huge step.
‐‐ Biz Stone
This idea that you can't be an honest man and a Washington politician is a myth, a crock made up by sellouts and careerist hacks who don't stand for anything and are impatient with people who do. It's possible to do this job with honor and dignity.
‐‐ Matt Taibbi
This idea that you can watch a show like 'True Detective,' and it was awesome, but is it really ruined for you if the finale is not your favorite episode of it? It's just odd to me.
‐‐ Carlton Cuse
This idea that you're a successful tough guy if you evade taxes and deceive the state has got to change.

‐‐ Daryl Hall
This illuminates not only fans' interest in major league teams but also the minors and even Little League.
‐‐ John Thorn
This image of wanting to be an artist - that I would in some way become an artist -was very strong. I knew for a long, long time that that's what I would be. But nothing I ever did seemed to bring me any nearer to the condition of being an artist. And I didn't know how to do it.
‐‐ Jasper Johns
This inclination to hoard is deeply ingrained in me because in the past, in times of scarcity, you took what you could get.
‐‐ Angela Merkel
This independent report clearly indicates that while we may differ among ourselves in government about what to spend money on, we have one of the most reliable and non-political processes for agreeing on how much money there is. We don't play games with the numbers.
‐‐ Ruth Ann Minner
This indication of audience interest is good for all horror movie makers at any budget level.
‐‐ Richard King

‐‐ Anthony Hopkins
This industry is 90 percent business, 10 percent talent.
‐‐ Pitbull
This industry is all about work, and just because Sundance exposed me to the world, it is my job to stay deserving in that world. The work never ends; the hustle just get harder, and you get stronger!
‐‐ Gina Rodriguez
This industry is tough on relationships. I've always thought that my wife should have a credit up alongside mine because I couldn't do what I do without her support.
‐‐ Jeff Bridges
This industry is very make-believe and you caught in a false sense of what reality is.
‐‐ Morris Chestnut
This industry isn't fair. It doesn't owe anybody a career. It's just about luck, determination, and showing up and being professional. The rest is out of your hands.
‐‐ Samuel Barnett

‐‐ Jim Walsh
This inhuman world has to become more humane. But how?
‐‐ Friedrich Durrenmatt
This initial experience has not lived up to our expectations... and it is not acceptable. While these problems will require a lot of hard work, the bottom-line conclusion is this HealthCare.gov site is fixable.

This invisibility, however, means that the opportunities for creative research are infinite.
‐‐ Barbara Smith
This is a bad day for Boston, but I think if we pull together we'll get through it.

‐‐ Richard Grasso
This is a beautiful country. Each of us has a favorite river, a mountain, just a patch of sky for some of us. I want to use the law to make sure that the waters, the land, and the skies of this nation are protected.
‐‐ Janet Reno
This is a big deal. My wife and I sat in our home and we watched those young men get slaughtered on the streets of Mogadishu in the absence of a plan. It broke our heart.
‐‐ Dick Armey
This is a bipartisan effort. This is just good common sense. This is where the public wants us to go. They want us to not be so dependent on foreign oil.
‐‐ Sam Brownback

‐‐ Nicolas Berggruen
This is a bit of curveball, but people who are really good kissers never have anything given to them.
‐‐ Kenny Chesney
This is a broad thought, but loving yourself and having the support so that you can love yourself is the most important thing that young people in Chicago can get.
