What I discovered is I don't like to repeat lead characters because one of the most pleasurable things in a book to me is learning about the lead.
‐‐ Alan Furst
What I discovered was that just by eating normally, we all have background levels of contaminants.
‐‐ Nell Newman
What I dislike about movie culture is that it often presents a parable of our problems - but the issues are all straightforward and the people are either nice or they're not. In real life, everyone falls between those perimeters, but not many American films operate in that grey area.
‐‐ Julian Fellowes
What I dislike is conventional realism - a system of gestures, descriptions, psychological revelations that was once a vital way of representing the world but has become hackneyed through endless repetition. I'd argue that a conventional realist isn't a realist at all, but a falsifier of the real.

What I do and what I dream include thee, as the wine must taste of its own grapes.
‐‐ Elizabeth Barrett Browning
What I do and what I record only work for the moment.
‐‐ Leon Redbone
What I do and where I come from, the kind of music that I'm making, it's definitely U.K. If I turned around and did a tune with Timbaland, it would be amazing, but it would be me kind of leaving where I'm coming from.
‐‐ Katy B
What I do as a director is really create a safe environment that everyone can feel very comfortable in and experiment within so that they don't hold back anything. You never ever want someone to go, 'Oh I shouldn't have done that.' There isn't anything you shouldn't try. If it's terrible, who cares?
‐‐ Paul Feig
What I do as best I can is out of a deep respect for children, for how difficult their world is.
‐‐ Maurice Sendak
What I do, basically, is look at things from different angles. That is what I do on stage comedically, and that is what I do in art. I was always fascinated by the structure of things, why things work this way and not that way. So I like to see how things behave if you change the point of view.
‐‐ Ursus Wehrli
What I do believe in is other worlds and spirits. There is some other power in control - levels of energy that perhaps we don't see.
‐‐ Melissa Etheridge
What I do believe in is the moral code of Christianity.
‐‐ Damian Lewis
What I do believe is that there is always a relationship between writing and reading, a constant interplay between the writer on the one hand and the reader on the other.
‐‐ Guillermo Cabrera Infante
What I do believe is theatre is a medium with a peculiar ability to air vital issues.
‐‐ Samuel West
What I do deny is that you can build any enduring society without some such mystical ethos.
‐‐ Herbert Read
What I do doesn't sit well in the world of hipsterville. I don't have a cool card, but I also don't have thin skin.
‐‐ Chris Daughtry
What I do feel is that 'Up in the Air' is the most indicative film of 2009. It is the portrait of 2009.
‐‐ Jason Reitman
What I do find enormously gratifying is the reviews my books get from the American press. They are so on the ball compared to anywhere else. It's so satisfying to get a review that conveys the reader understood precisely what I was trying to get at.
‐‐ Kate Thompson
What I do find surprising is that other people do not think in the same way. I find it hard to imagine a world where numbers and words are not how I experience them!
‐‐ Daniel Tammet
What I do for a living is listen.
‐‐ Val Kilmer
What I do for a living means that people look at me. As an actress, you are scrutinized. You are not just dealing with your looks privately, you are on display. I have never been 100 percent comfortable in my own skin. I go through different phases. But I don't feel beautiful all the time, no.
‐‐ Sophia Myles
What I do for a living puts me in the spotlight.
‐‐ Ali Larter
What I do for exercise sort of depends on what's happening in the rest of my life.
‐‐ Cynthia Nixon
What I do for migraines when I get them, I listen to classical music, and I turn it up really loud.
‐‐ Ian McLagan
What I do has to be a function of what I can do, not a function of what people ask me to do.
‐‐ Tim Berners-Lee
What I do have to get across is the truth of the moment within the given scene. It's my job, as a director and screenwriter, to create the environment in which all those moments will come together eventually.
‐‐ James Gray
What I do in my book is let people know about these programs.
‐‐ Matthew Lesko
What I do is always hard for me to explain, but it's like a mixture of New Orleans jazz and world music, with a little bit of Spanish flavour. I just take all that and mix it with Chilliwack, and something comes out!
‐‐ Bria Skonberg
What I do is between me and the Lord, to examine and possibly alter the state of grace in which I live, and thereby the state of grace of anybody who listens.
‐‐ Townes Van Zandt
What I do is create an aura of mystery.
‐‐ George Noory
What I do is create images, period.
‐‐ Frank Frazetta
What I do is draw but if you make an animated feature obviously it takes a whole team of people, and Zippy is my work. I felt that turning it over to a team of people would be wrong.
‐‐ Bill Griffith
What I do is I do my job.
‐‐ Canelo Alvarez
What I do is I'm a bandleader, frontman, entertainer.
‐‐ Shane MacGowan
What I do is I remove my makeup every night, use a little bit of Vitamin C serum, and that's it, pretty much. Of course, I use my 3D White products!
‐‐ Shakira
What I do is I try to be as healthy as possible all around. I use a Proactiv daily wash because my face is dry and it keeps it that way. I like to use other moisturizers to keep my face hydrated. I always put on sunscreen. I just always like to make sure my face looks fresh and has that glow.
‐‐ Sasha Pieterse
What I do is I write mainly about very personal and rather lonely feelings, and I explore them in a different way each time. You know, what I do is not terribly intellectual. I'm a pop singer for Christ's sake. As a person, I'm fairly uncomplicated.
‐‐ David Bowie
What I do is just go over and over and over my lines and learn the script so well that I can just be easy and relaxed. That's the way I always work.
‐‐ Anthony Hopkins
What I do is not go outside. My hobby is that I write, so if I'm not acting or being a mom, I'm writing.
‐‐ Bryce Dallas Howard
What I do is not regional comedy, and it is not based in the southern area.
‐‐ Bill Engvall
What I do is not rocket science, but I sure do love it.
‐‐ Kyle Chandler
What I do is not some magical, mystical thing. I simply get up in the morning, get to work on time, say my lines, and do the best I can.
‐‐ Parker Stevenson
What I do is play football. What I do doesn't change who I am and who God sees me as.
‐‐ Benjamin Watson
What I do is play soccer, which is what I like.
‐‐ Lionel Messi
What I do is prepare myself until I know I can do what I have to do.
‐‐ Joe Namath
What I do is put my characters into situations that are so precarious there is no way to get out. And then I figure how to get them out.
‐‐ Sidney Sheldon
What I do is sometimes - at least in Germany - met with wounding campaigns. I always face the question: should I grow myself a thick skin and ignore it, or should I let myself be wounded? I've decided to be wounded, since, if I grew a thick skin, there are other things I wouldn't feel any more.
‐‐ Gunter Grass
What I do is spend too much time thinking. Most of the time I just walk around annoyed. Would I describe myself as relatively happy, I suppose, but society gets to me. And the people that have mastered life seem to not care, and then they die, and then the grenade goes off.
‐‐ Neill Blomkamp
What I do is try to stay away from the hot subjects.
‐‐ Jerry Bruckheimer
What I do is unusual: chordal movements that have never been used before, changing keys and modalities mid-song.
‐‐ Joni Mitchell
