What I like are films that take me seriously, that don't treat me as more stupid than I am.
‐‐ Michael Haneke
What I like best about music is when time goes away.
‐‐ Bob Weir
What I like best is a book that's at least funny once in a while. What really knocks me out is a book that, when you're all done reading it, you wish the author that wrote it was a terrific friend of yours and you could call him up on the phone whenever you felt like it. That doesn't happen much, though.
‐‐ J. D. Salinger
What I like best is the challenge of learning something I didn't know how to do, going beyond my comfort level.
‐‐ Ruth Reichl
What I like doing is imagery that can be interpreted in any particular way by the person who wears it.
‐‐ Bella Freud
What I like doing most is making children laugh.
‐‐ Norman Wisdom
What I like in a good author is not what he says but what he whispers.
‐‐ Logan Pearsall Smith
What I like in comedies are really two things: stories that are character-driven and stories that are rooted in authenticity.
‐‐ Alex Karpovsky
What I like in L.A. is that it's a lot more brutal. In England it's, 'Have a cup of tea, have a chat,' and you still don't get the part. In L.A. you go in, do your bit, and if they don't like you, you're straight out again. In a sense, that's more honest.
‐‐ Lucy Punch
What I like in novels that I read and enjoy is interplay of theme: the mystery of how we seem to be so separate as human beings.
‐‐ Sebastian Faulks
What I like in this job is you can travel to many places, many imaginations.
‐‐ Marion Cotillard
What I like is the acting itself. But I'm a lousy celebrity. I'm not interested in selling my private life. I take my private feelings to the work, but I want there to be a difference between me and whoever it is I'm playing.
‐‐ Tyne Daly
What I like is the idea of a group, even if it's just two people - the idea of solitude within a group.
‐‐ Claire Denis
What I like is when you can hear the heart and soul of music and can feel the energy coming out of it, because that's what it's like when you drive.
‐‐ Allan McNish
What I like least about myself is my belligerence.
‐‐ Gore Vidal
What I like least is dealing with publishers who simply don't want collaborations regardless of their merit.
‐‐ Piers Anthony
What I like most about an aquarium is that all ages, from toddlers to pre-schoolers to retired grandparents, can really enjoy the wonders of the sea.
‐‐ Jim Pattison
What I like most about directing is creating a world more so than anything. To me, the music is the wrapping paper on that world.
‐‐ Matthew Gray Gubler
What I like most: Reading well-written sources that take me to another world for hours at a time - and being able to call that 'work!' Also, of course, finding a gem of information that is either exactly what I was looking for, or else fits perfectly into the story in some way.
‐‐ Linda Sue Park
What I like on Kickstarter is when I see real innovation and I see people building something new. It makes me sad when I see things that are just the same technology; you aren't passing the technology forward.
‐‐ Bre Pettis
What I like to do is get the family in the pick-up truck... and then we just go for a drive. That's it!
‐‐ Dwayne Johnson
What I like to do is just make good music, good movies, hopefully perform a good show full of energy and just have some fun.
‐‐ LL Cool J
What I like to do is try to make a difference with the work I do.
‐‐ David Bowie
What I like to do when I get to a new place is buy local music early on and listen to it while we're driving around. I think it helps explain and illuminate the culture of where you are if local music is playing.
‐‐ Chris Hadfield
What I like to drink most is wine that belongs to others.
‐‐ Diogenes
What I like to say is that we're trying to develop a new generation of technologies that are worthy of the next generation of kids.
‐‐ Mitchel Resnick
What I like to wear, I do myself. I don't know how that sounds, but it's the truth. My life is so mixed with my profession that I don't know where I begin or my work ends.
‐‐ Ann Demeulemeester
What I like writing about are people's relationships, not necessarily great big dramatic things but the smaller things in life and how they affect characters and challenge and change the people that they are. I do like a happy ending, so my books have to have a happy ending.
‐‐ Penny Jordan
What I liked about American movies when I was a kid was that they're sort of larger than life and I think I'm still suffering from that reaction.
‐‐ Guy Ritchie
What I liked about doing a soundtrack is that it's almost the opposite of any kind of normal recording that a band does, because it's very much a restricted, narrow... And I kind of like that, I find it exciting to work within these things.
‐‐ Tim Gane
What I'll remember about New York is growing up really fast.
‐‐ Rita Ora
What I'll say is that Cuban-Americans don't have to deal with the same immigration issues as other nationalities because of the 'wet feet, dry feet' policy. For Cubans, one year after you touch United States territory, you can become a legal resident.
‐‐ Jorge Ramos
What I loathe is the multi-national conglomerates who must take responsibility for the degradation and pollution of so much of our landscape with their factory farming and greed.
‐‐ Fay Godwin
What I look at with each vote is that priority of whether it's good for the middle class or not.
‐‐ Dan Maffei
What I look for in a project or partner is integrity and character; I love the concept of family entertainment and crosses over the generations, where you can sit kids with their grandparents and everyone has a good time. Those are the qualities that I want to bring to viewers.
‐‐ Jodi Benson
What I look for in a role is the physical. But what's the journey emotionally? Can I take this person who is this archetypal tough guy and find the beauty?
‐‐ Frank Grillo
What I look for in a script is something that challenges me, something that breaks new ground, something that allows me to flex my director muscle. You have got to think fast in this business, you've got to keep reinventing yourself to stay on top.
‐‐ Michael Bay
What I look for in a script is the plot point and whether they're strong, obviously, or not, whether the characters are rich or not, and if I can do justice to the character or not. Some movies you look at and the script is so bad that no one can do anything with the script.
‐‐ Larenz Tate
What I look for in a voice is for it to be unique. I don't really care if a singer sings well. Really, it's about emotion, or being able to sing the lyrics and actually mean it. A lot of singers sing good notes but forget about what words they use.
‐‐ Zedd
What I look for in any book is an argument, based on evidence, that changes the way I think about something important.
‐‐ Barry Schwartz
What I look for in any character, good or bad, is whether I can hear him speak. If I can imagine him that clearly, then I can write about him.
‐‐ Thomas Perry
What I look for in music is artistry, sincerity, and simplicity, and Tom Waits has all of that. I want to make a connection to the creator.
‐‐ Steve Vai
What I look for in musicians is a sense of infinity.
‐‐ Pat Metheny
What I look for these days is that I don't have long speeches, the characters gets to sit down a lot, I don't have to learn any foreign languages, and it doesn't shoot in Minneapolis in February. That's mainly what I look for.
‐‐ Alan Arkin
What I look for when I see a piece of art for the first time is some kind of emotional, intellectual experience, that's a combination of both of those things and is informed by my knowledge and something new that I see the artist doing.
‐‐ Cheech Marin
What I look forward to is continued immaturity followed by death.
‐‐ Dave Barry
What I love about a play is that it's such an investment because only time can create a lot of what happens onstage.
‐‐ Laura Linney
What I love about acting is that you are exposed to so many different things. Horse-riding, sailing, travelling to amazing places.
‐‐ Nikolaj Coster-Waldau
What I love about being a member of KISS is that we're the 'John Glenns' of rock - we always have to be the first in anything we do, and I love that.
‐‐ Peter Criss
What I love about being an actress is being able to really look into myself and understand another human being.
‐‐ Phylicia Rashad
