I want people to follow their dreams, yes… but I’m not interested in telling young black kids how to be rappers… I want to show them that there’s so many other paths you can take, besides a rapper or basketball player.
J. Cole
Being homeschooled for half of my life allowed me to choose my own curriculum and find things I really enjoy, and that’s kind of inspired me. I’ve always been intrigued in or interested in the topics I’ve been covering.
Yara Shahidi
Music is still part of my life, but I hate the idea of people coming to see me play the guitar because they’ve seen me in movies. You want people who are listening to be only interested in the music.

And as a writer, one of the things that I’ve always been interested in doing is actually invading your comfort space. Because that’s what we’re supposed to do. Get under your skin, and make you react.
Stephen King
The camera is interested in what you are thinking as opposed to just what you are doing or saying.
Ajay Naidu
When I go on holiday, I go to places that have animals I’m interested in.

I’m not a fan of giving a website a simple number like an IQ rating because like people they can vary in all kinds of different ways. So I’d be interested in different organisations labelling websites in different ways.
Tim Berners-Lee
I’m not interested in censorship. I like the First Amendment very much.
Henry Rollins
I’m a sports junkie, and I am interested in athletic will – how you exceed the expectations of your own performance when it counts to deliver something beyond yourself so that you can win.
Alex Gibney
I’m becoming far more interested in just functionality and making sure my body is as strong as it can be so I can swing my kids around and not worry about aches and pains.
Matt Damon
I like reading novels because it provides insight into human behavior. I am really interested in feelings and think they are what define us as a species. When you really get it right in acting, it’s an act of empathy. You feel less distant from others, and that is really exciting.
Claire Danes
Some of my colleagues seem more interested in using every procedural method possible to keep the Senate from doing anything than they are in creating jobs or helping Americans struggling in a difficult economy.
Al Franken
I’m interested in that drive, that rush to judgment, that is so prevalent in our society. We all know that pleasurable rush that comes from condemning, and in the short term it’s quite a satisfying thing to do, isn’t it?
J. K. Rowling
I’m very interested in storytelling and anything that plays with structure.
Matthew Bourne
Even among those who I would not count as ‘friends,’ I have met many people online who have simply commented on my work or are interested by what I do.

Stephen Frears
I am interested in how human beings react to crisis and conflict.
Garry Shandling
Provocative… I used to be defensive about it, but in the end, I realised it’s exactly right. It’s what we’re trying to do – to provoke thought and discussion and, you know, shake people up to start thinking about things in a different way. I’m interested in messing with what they think is the norm.
Yorgos Lanthimos
When I first became interested in photography, I thought it was the whole cheese. My idea was to have it recognized as one of the fine arts. Today I don’t give a hoot in hell about that. The mission of photography is to explain man to man and each man to himself.
Edward Steichen
My aunt got me interested in journalism – she found an old typewriter, had it worked over, put it on the dining room table, gave me a stack of paper and said, ‘Play like you’re a writer.’
Dan Jenkins
I’m really interested in how people’s minds work – what makes them sad or happy.
Phoebe Dynevor
I was not a very popular kid in high school, and I had this idea that the way that I dressed would change how liked I was. It was that kind of Pygmalion story. I think, ultimately that’s probably why I became interested in fashion, its transformative power, and how it can change your identity.
Joseph Altuzarra
I happen to go for the simplest, most ordinary things. The extraordinary doesn’t interest me. I’m not interested in psychotics. I’m interested in the person you don’t expect to have a story. I like Everyman.
John Hughes
I’ve always been interested in this notion of what is authentic and how we define that and why our culture imposes certain emotions and emotional constraints onto experiences.
Meghan Daum
All I’m interested in is putting in consistent performances. If awards come along with that, great. It means you are doing something right.
Ben Stokes
My grandmother was energetic and fearless – a talented poet and songwriter. She was also interested in chemistry and history and medicine, taking care of the people in her hacienda in Mexico, delivering babies. She could have become anything, but this was the 1930s, and she was forced into an arranged marriage.
Salma Hayek
I’m a mentor to anybody who’s interested.
Clint Eastwood
You think back and you ask yourself why you became so interested in wolves. I think it was because when I was very small, growing up in a little hamlet near Shap, we would go to Lowther Wildlife Park for birthday parties. Now closed, it was only three miles from my parents’ house.
Sarah Hall
How do you observe something you can’t see? This is the basic question of somebody who’s interested in finding and studying black holes. Because black holes are objects whose pull of gravity is so intense that nothing can escape it, not even light, so you can’t see it directly.
Andrea M. Ghez
I still don’t have all the answers. I’m more interested in what I can do next than what I did last.
Charlie Sheen
When I was younger and really interested in acting, I would look at all the women on TV, and even the ones who were supposed to be ‘geeks’ or ‘less attractive,’ they all looked similar because they were extremely attractive and their bodies were all a certain way.
Barbie Ferreira
Writing in a diary is a really strange experience for someone like me. Not only because I’ve never written anything before, but also because it seems to me that later on neither I nor anyone else will be interested in the musings of a thirteen-year-old schoolgirl.
Anne Frank
When I was in high school, I fell under the spell of that crazy idea that if you’re interested in the arts, you can’t be interested in science.
Alan Alda
I sort of wrongfully judged ‘Mamma Mia!’ for so long. I thought of it as a jukebox musical that I wasn’t interested in. I was so wrong.
Aaron Lazar
I’m interested in everthing but passionate about nothing.
Jeanne Calment
If you really want something bad enough, if you’re really interested in something enough, you know, you just keep working on it.
Brian Kobilka
I had heard that Robert Duvall was interested in doing ‘Lonesome Dove,’ and he’s one of those actors with whom I’d work on any project. So I tracked down the script and started to bug the producer, Dyson Lovell, to get in there.
D. B. Sweeney
I’m a student. I want to do better, and I want directors who can find the actress in me and be my teachers. I’m interested in the whole process of editing, post-production and direction.
Aishwarya Rai Bachchan
Money is just a low priority for me. I’m more interested in good work than a big bank account.
John Lithgow
I’m interested in love and in death. Everything evolves from these things.

I feel like I might be a designer or stylist – or a director because I have always been super interested in cameras and editing.
Billie Eilish
I’m not really interested in promoting ‘Olive’ as a series about depression or mental illness.
Frances McDormand
I am interested in all aspects of filmmaking, so I have an opinion on every aspect, so sound design, score, cinematography, editing – all that stuff I have experience doing myself, so I had a very strong idea of what I wanted, and I got, for the most part, people that were able to articulate that idea, which was nice.
Jeff Baena
People are interested in crime fiction when they’re quite distanced from crime. People in Darfur are not reading murder mysteries.
Denise Mina
I’m not someone so much interested in exploring a slice of life unless that is down the corridor, around the corner, up the alley, and down the rabbit hole. That, I like.
James Spader
I’m curious about other people. That’s the essence of my acting. I’m interested in what it would be like to be you.
Meryl Streep
Life is a lot more interesting if you are interested in the people and the places around you. So, illuminate your little patch of ground, the people that you know, the things that you want to commemorate. Light them up with your art, with your music, with your writing, with whatever it is that you do.
Alan Moore
When I was a teenager, I began to settle into school because I’d discovered the extracurricular activities that interested me: music and theater.
Morgan Freeman
I’m not interested in trying to work on people’s perceptions. I am who I am, and if you don’t take the time to learn about that, then your perception is going to be your problem.
Jim Brown
I’ve been told that having an Instagram account will help me book more roles, get more endorsement deals. It makes you more of a brand. But I’m not interested. I want to build my fan base through movies and movies alone.
Miles Teller
I was always interested in enchantment and magicians and still am.
Christopher Lee
I don’t think I am especially interested in celebrities, but I love talking about what is going on with people and why they do what they do.

The secret to life is finding joy in ordinary things. I’m interested in happiness.
Ruth Reichl
I have always been interested in history.
Tony Pulis
To be honest, I’ve never been interested in how many games I’ve done and seen. It doesn’t mean anything to anybody. All I know is I’m eternally grateful for having been allowed to work so many games.
Vin Scully
As a woman leader, I thought I brought a different kind of leadership. I was interested in women’s issues, in bringing down the population growth rate… as a woman, I entered politics with an additional dimension – that of a mother.
Benazir Bhutto
I have been interested in phenomena involving complexity, diversity and evolution since I was a young boy.
Murray Gell-Mann

Daniel Ek
I’m always interested in how people use language to not say what they mean.

People are interested in pro football because it provides them with an emotional oasis; they don’t want football to get involved in the same types of court cases, racial problems and legislative issues they encounter in the rest of American life.
Pete Rozelle
I was never interested in making cool, distilled, pure objects.
Martin Puryear
I’m interested in little people. ‘The little, great people’ is how I would put it, because suffering expands people.

I am interested in getting people to use the healthcare system at the right time, getting them to see the doctor early enough, before a small health problem turns serious.
Donna Shalala
There are people who are unsure, and maybe their minds can be changed based on someone’s work and accomplishments. Those people are the ones I’m interested in having stay tuned and watching for the rest of my career.
Adam Cole
I mean those people who are interested in good government will certainly contribute in order to make certain there’s some counter-balance to those whose interests in good government is less.
Stephen Breyer
A sculptor is a person who is interested in the shape of things, a poet in words, a musician by sounds.
Henry Moore
If I am a cup maker, I’m interested in making the best cup I possibly can. My effort goes into that cup, not what people think about it.
Denzel Washington
Since Israel is a democratic state surrounded by essentially undemocratic states which have sworn her destruction, those interested in democracy everywhere must support Israel’s existence.
Bayard Rustin
I suppose everyone continues to be interested in the quest for the self, but what you feel when you’re older, I think, is that you really must make the self.
Mary McCarthy
Our goal is to build this up as a knowledge base that anyone can look at. We’re not just interested in people answering their friends’ one-off questions.

Steven Wilson

I’m interested in everything. If I had enough time on this earth, I’d like to learn every art practice.
Hunter Schafer
Right now people are interested in genetic engineering to help the human race. That’s a noble cause, and that’s where we should be heading. But once we get past that – once we understand what genetic diseases we can deal with – when we start thinking about the future, there’s an opportunity to create some new life-forms.
Jack Horner
Nobody wants to hear that you met Harry Truman… I met Harry Truman… But you know what I mean? Nobody’s interested. They want to know you met Rihanna. And that kills me.
Joan Rivers
I can understand that the whole world is interested in my wife Madonna. That’s even why I married her.
Guy Ritchie
One of the tenets in Quaker meditation is that you ‘go inside to greet the light.’ I am interested in this light that’s inside greeting the light that’s outside.
James Turrell
When I was younger, I looked at getting older as this process of getting less interested in things and becoming colder, and of finding less joy in the mystery of things. And I’ve found the exact opposite to be true. I find that I’m getting warmer, and that I’m more mystified by human interactions.
Jon Brion
I think most people are inherently interested in how their brain works, in what makes them tick.
Simon Sinek
While I was raised around churches and had gotten to know a few preachers fairly well, the thought never entered my head that I would one day stand and deliver. Not only was I not interested, I lived with a major struggle: I stuttered.
Charles R. Swindoll
I’m not interested in how long I can hold out, but in how fast I can reach the finishing line.
Emil Zatopek
I wanted to do it my way with my career, and I had this arrogant notion that people weren’t just interested in my music but me as a person. That was my bit of arrogance, I guess. That’s something I learned from Madonna. I was a fan right from the first time I heard ‘Holiday.’
Pink
In a work capacity I’m only interested in acting and producing.
Charlie Hunnam
I don’t want to be thought of as a survivor because you have to continue getting involved in difficult situations to show off that particular gift, and I’m not interested in doing that anymore.
Carrie Fisher
People will come at me telling me to wear this or wear that. If I don’t like it, I don’t like it. They couldn’t pay me to wear it. If it’s something I can rock with, I’ll rock it. I’m more interested in being completely authentic to me. In my opinion, being myself is making a statement.
Jaylen Brown
There are seasons in every country when noise and impudence pass current for worth; and in popular commotions especially, the clamors of interested and factious men are often mistaken for patriotism.
Alexander Hamilton
I love watching live shows from different artists from different stages of their lives. I’m always interested in the mastery of the live performance.
Stjepan Hauser
Milan offered me something. I was very interested by the project. It did not happen for many reasons.
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang
The only gossip I’m interested in is things from the Weekly World News – ‘Woman’s bra bursts, 11 injured’. That kind of thing.
Johnny Depp
When I got into the second half of ‘Dragon Ball,’ I had already become more interested in thinking up the story then in drawing the pictures. Then I started to not place much emphasis on the pictures.
Akira Toriyama
In 1912, when I was working in The Hague, I first saw a drawing by Louis Sullivan of one of his buildings. It interested me.
Ludwig Mies van der Rohe
I was brought up by two people who just said, Whatever it is you’re interested in, go do it. There is no winning or losing. You find out when you do it what the experience is.
Kurt Russell
I’ve always been interested in using mathematics to make the world work better.
Alvin E. Roth
I think that cosmetic enhancements in my profession are just an occupational hazard. But I think, more culturally, I’m interested in starting the conversation about aging gracefully and how, instead of making it a cultural problem, we make it individuals’ problems.
Frances McDormand
People think that young people don’t care about things, but I think they do care; they just aren’t super interested in conforming to what older people think are the right way to do things.
Olivia Wilde
I’d always also been interested in being in the army because my dad was in the army and my brother is an officer in the army.
Phil Dunster
I’m interested in asking: ‘What does feminine energy mean?’ I don’t have answers – I just have questions and interesting examples.
Marina Abramovic
When I left my Catholic school, I was around 10 or 11 years old, and it started to unravel for me there. Kids pick up on things if you’re interested and inquisitive. I was seeing things that were not in line with what I’d been taught about Jesus. It didn’t jive with me.
Mark Ruffalo
Only two to three per cent of an audience is interested in words and pays attention to lyrics; most of the rest of it is about image or the beat or the sound, or else it’s a tribal thing – country & western, rap, heavy metal, with historical folk rock off in some kind of cult.
Al Stewart
Most of my childhood memories of my father are of being ignored. I was his namesake, but nothing I did ever pleased or even interested him. He enjoyed telling me I couldn’t do anything right.
Marlon Brando
I think media has lost its way. We must recognize that the proprietors of these organizations have put on a form of censorship. Basically, they’re more interested in celebrity, narcissism, rich people, good-looking people, and successful sportsmen.
Don McCullin
I can think of nothing that an audience won’t understand. The only problem is to interest them; once they are interested, they understand anything in the world.
Orson Welles
We are not interested in the fact that the brain has the consistency of cold porridge.
Alan Turing
I’m really interested in smells. I think I’d like to own a perfumery someday.
Kurt Cobain
I was interested in data mining, which means analyzing large amounts of data, discovering patterns and trends. At the same time, Larry started downloading the Web, which turns out to be the most interesting data you can possibly mine.
Sergey Brin
But HBO is less interested in how many people are watching than in how much the people who are watching are liking the show. They didn’t set up their business model to make writers happy. It’s just a nice unintended consequence.
Aaron Sorkin
I have a theatrical temperament. I’m not interested in the middle road – maybe because everyone’s on it. Rationality, reasonableness bewilder me.
Joan Didion
We are just interested in dealing with the people we’re paying every day. We know federal law allows them to vote in a union at anytime, but we think we can resist that by talking to our own people and giving them enough upside.
David Neeleman
I was never interested in being powerful or famous. But once I got to film school and learned about movies, I just fell in love with it. I didn’t care what kind of movies I made.
George Lucas
I’m not interested in who am I. I’m interested in what’s gone, the disinheritance, what I’ve been able to become or learn or fuse with or not fuse with. A certain freedom comes… I like it that way.
Ruth Prawer Jhabvala
I’m not interested in more political or cultural combat.
John Kennedy
When men are romantically interested in you, it’s really simple. Just ignore everything they say and only pay attention to what they do.
Randy Pausch
We would not be interested in human beings if we did not have the hope of someday meeting someone worse off than ourselves.
Emil Cioran
You can’t share things about India with Americans, as they don’t seem interested. Their culture is different.
The Great Khali
Journalists seem mostly interested in what brand of shoes I wear.
Rem Koolhaas
I am not interested in doing a film on the basis of a good story. I want a proper screenplay.
Aishwarya Rajesh
I have always been interested in exploring how we can leverage our knowledge about everyday objects, and how we use them, in order to interact with our digital world.
Pranav Mistry
I don’t practise any religion but I am deeply interested in the answers that mankind has come up with to explain the human situation.
Simon Callow
My older brother was the person who got me interested in science in general. He used to tell me what he learned in school. My first memory of mathematics is probably the time that he told me about the problem of adding numbers from 1 to 100.
Maryam Mirzakhani
I am not interested in the past, except as the road to the future.
Gianni Versace
I don’t understand the whole dating thing. I know right off the bat if I’m interested in someone, and I don’t want them to waste their money on me and take me out to eat if I know I’m not interested in that person.
Britney Spears
As a writer, I’m more interested in what people tell themselves happened rather than what actually happened.
Kazuo Ishiguro
I don’t think I ever really got interested in theater.
Eartha Kitt
I’m really not interested in other people’s opinions, because I think frankly most of those opinions are either misinformed and adding to this endless ball of hot air we have in our society where everyone thinks their opinion is valuable and sacred and what counts.
H. G. Bissinger
I was only interested in scoring goals. I wasn’t interested in anything else.
Gary Lineker
I’m very interested in music, but I was not born musical. I honestly do think some people have the knack. I can’t play an instrument. I’m a terrible singer. I’m not about to launch my album!
Georgia May Jagger
I have always been far more interested in sound than technique, and how sounds work together, how they can be layered. I think electronic music, in its infancy anyway, allowed us to create music in a way that hadn’t really been possible before. It created a new kind of musician.
Gary Numan
I never talk much about my family, but my grandfather was friendly with these guys, with magicians and ventriloquists on the highest levels, and I was just… interested.
Ricky Jay
I’m not interested in preserving the status quo; I want to overthrow it.
Niccolo Machiavelli
The hardest pill for me to swallow has been receiving recognition, getting dressed up, going to events. That’s the part that has always terrified me. You can see dozens of photos where I have zero hair and makeup and I’m wearing my own jeans and T-shirt, because I was not that interested in that side of it.
Brie Larson
I was always interested in maybe being in Formula E as I said many times when I was still racing in F1.
Felipe Massa
If progressives were interested in mitigating inequality, they would support the dynamism of free markets to allow the merit of ideas, products and services to win the day rather than stifle companies and pick winners in the name of imagined ‘progress.’
David Harsanyi
I’m most interested in people who’ve lived life in the extreme, which is what draws me to crime fiction.
Nick Petrie
People were more interested in the phenomena than the art itself. This, combined with the growing interest in collecting art as an investment and the resultant boom in the art market, made it a difficult time for a young artist to remain sincere without becoming cynical.
Keith Haring
I’m less interested in death itself than in people whose lives are touched by it.
Hirokazu Kore-eda
Vision is a romantic thing. We have got into ‘talent identification’. I am much more interested in passion – finding people who are really excited about doing something.
Sebastian Coe
I am interested in politics.
Dave Mustaine
Public interest in most of the Middle East was slight at that time; the Arab-Israeli conflict was all that people were interested in and that was not my specialty.
Juan Cole
I have always been very interested in the idea of loneliness and the presumption that romantic relationships are supposed to rid you of that.
Ayobami Adebayo
I was never really interested in fashion before I started to work with Dior. I didn’t see fashion as an art form.
Marion Cotillard
Surround yourself with people who are smarter than you. Pick people who are interested in what you’re interested in.
Russell Simmons
Architecture remains a passion and a subject I’m very interested in. I learned a great deal from studying it and working in it.
Hisham Matar
I’m a Chicago kid. So, of course, I’m open to playing for the Chicago Bulls if that’s a team that’s interested in me. At the same time, any decision that is made, it’s never personal. It’s always business. I have to make the right decision for me and my family.
Patrick Beverley
I realized how important it was to know something about aviation, and it was something I was interested in, so I followed my brother’s footsteps and obtained my pilot’s license.
Ellen Ochoa
I didn’t live at school, I lived where I could and studied what I enjoyed studying. I took what I wanted from that education but was making my first record at the same time. I don’t know anyone from school. I was just leading a different life. I was really interested in writing and other things.
Lana Del Rey
I think I’m interested in these kinds of character dramas, psychological dramas, domestic dramas, whatever you want to call them – comedy dramas.
Lisa Cholodenko
I got my first computer in the 6th grade or so. As soon as I got it, I was interested in finding out how it worked and how the programs worked and then figuring out how to write programs at just deeper and deeper levels within the system.
Mark Zuckerberg
I’m interested in what it means to live in America. I’m interested in the kind of country that we live in and leave our kids. I’m interested in trying to define what that country is. I got the chutzpa or whatever you want to say to believe that if I write a really good about it, it’s going to make a difference.
Bruce Springsteen
Our society’s need for escapism has always interested me.
David Lloyd
If you’re doing well, you’re a target, nobody’s interested in you except how you can be of use to them.
Richard Grant
At school, I wasn’t as interested in mathematics. I did OK, but at the earliest point I could stop doing math, I stopped.
Matt Haig
I am interested in a lot of things – not just show business and my passion for animals. I try to keep current in what’s going on in the world. I do mental exercises. I don’t have any trouble memorizing lines because of the crossword puzzles I do every day to keep my mind a little limber. I don’t sit and vegetate.
Betty White
Movies are so rarely great art that if we cannot appreciate great trash we have very little reason to be interested in them.
Pauline Kael
I was always interested in having my own money – not my family’s money. I don’t think it had anything to do with me being Elvis’s granddaughter. None of my drive was, ‘I need to get away from my family legacy!’
Riley Keough
I’m not interested in seeing a film just made by a woman – not unless she is looking for new images.
Agnes Varda
I’m interested in women’s health because I’m a woman. I’d be a darn fool not to be on my own side.
Maya Angelou
I was a suburban kid who fancied myself somehow intellectual. I was into punk rock but I couldn’t get into the subcultural signifiers of dyed hair, safety pins and torn denim. Being a punk seemed like a new set of rules that I wasn’t interested in having to follow.
Ezra Furman
I’ve got a general callout with the Caribbean world in which I’m interested in helping in any way to get their well-written good stories out to the rest of the world. I am really interested in helping those stories get to a completion and public viewing.
C. C. H. Pounder
As a species, we’ve always been interested in what happens when we’re no longer around, all the way back to ‘Revelations’ in ‘The New Testament.’
Brad Anderson
I’ve always been interested in those Orwellian dystopian novels, like ‘Fahrenheit 451,’ ‘Brave New World,’ and obviously Orwell’s ‘1984.’
Alexander Skarsgard
I was born in Cincinnati, Ohio. My family was not nationally known as being a literary family, though my mother and my mother’s side of the family in general were interested in literature.
Kenneth Koch
It’s not my fault if the media and the public are more interested in Tiger Woods than in women farm workers.
Gloria Allred
Well, I am not interested in the kind of expression that you have when you paint a painting with brush strokes. It’s all right, but it’s already done and I want to do something new.
Donald Judd
Suddenly, everyone wanted to talk to me, it seemed. And not about my poetry: it was my dyslexia they were most interested in.
Philip Schultz
Like all novelists, I’m interested in the filters between reality and the imagination.
Hisham Matar
If you imagine your friend is recommending you content on a topic they’re an expert on, they can do a really good job of that. They know what you’re interested in, they know your personality, they know if you have a scientific type of mind-set or not.
Adam D’Angelo
I love my boys. I love watching them growing up. I love seeing them develop, and I’m always looking forward to seeing what they’re going to become and what they’re going to be interested in later in life.
Josh Turner
I’m always interested in projects. Whatever I do, I’m interested in the color of the material. I’m not interested in who’s making it. I’m more concentrated on the work.
Vicky Krieps
I have dealt with a pretty interesting mix of young people, many of whom have never been involved in any form of politics at any level who are interested in alternatives to austerity and debt, and older people who left the Labour party, mainly over Iraq, who are coming back in.
Jeremy Corbyn
I wanted to be like the heroes of the books I read. That’s why I wanted to go to the jungle. I wasn’t interested in danger from the adrenaline aspect, I was more interested in the romance.
Yossi Ghinsberg
I’m interested in people’s darker side, the ones that aren’t easy and well balanced. The cracks.
Noomi Rapace
I was interested in aerospace and flying, and the U.S. is really the best place in the world for flying.
Kalpana Chawla
Why have a model on the front of your magazine when you can have Kate Winslet, Cate Blanchett or Hilary Swank? Because those girls are intelligent and talented, people are interested.
Milla Jovovich
I’m more interested in the quality of the work than its medium.
Gale Harold
When I was 16, I felt very relieved to discover cinema. It was like an island where I could see life and death from another perspective. Every young person should be interested in that island. It’s a beautiful place.
Leos Carax
I was never attracted to being a very proficient singer or player. I suppose I was interested in creating a vision; in the same way I was very drawn to tension within cinema.
Siouxsie Sioux
I’ve received a lot of positive feedback from both the secular and Christian markets. People seem to be receiving it with open arms and hearts, and are interested in the stories I want to share about my relationship with God and my faith.
Brian Littrell
Stylistically, I love make-up. I love doing my own make-up and stuff, but clothes-wise, I actually didn’t ever really care. Initially the fashion world was more interested in me than the music world, which was strange when I first started singing.
Lana Del Rey
I’m reluctantly interested in love and helplessly interested in logic and yet they’re so conflicting. And they’re both necessary for a happy balance, a happy existence… I think.
Laura Marling
I don’t want to fight aging; I want to take good care of myself, but plastic surgery and all that? I’m not interested.
Christine Lahti
I have long been interested in exploring and advancing the valuable relationships between the arts and society.
Damian Woetzel
I read a lot, but I read about the areas that I’m interested in.
Sanford I. Weill
I’m really interested in older women, to be honest, because they have lived a life that I’ve not yet lived. So I really want to learn from them, and I think culturally we tend to dispose of women once they get to a certain age and they don’t look a certain way.
Amanda de Cadenet
I don’t believe in God but I’m very interested in her.
Arthur C. Clarke
Any kid who has two parents who are interested in him and has a houseful of books isn’t poor.
Sam Levenson
I think life is difficult and that’s that. I am not at all – absolutely not at all – interested in the pursuit of happiness. I am not interested in the pursuit of positivity. I am interested in pursuing a truth, and the truth often seems to be not happiness but its opposite.
Jamaica Kincaid
I’m not interested in a persona.
Chris Robinson
If ‘Befikre’ was representing the new-age youth of India and romance as what it was claiming, it would have been great irrespective of the box-office numbers. But unfortunately, it didn’t do that, and hence, I would not be interested.
Sushant Singh Rajput
Well, you know what, I’m 60 years old, and I’ve been interested in politics since I was on my daddy’s knee. During the 1948 election, we were praying for Truman. I know a lot about politics.
Roger Ebert
These wealthy people were very interested in contemporary music. They wanted to help diffuse it and get it to be known to other people.
Elliott Carter
I always had trouble being proud of how they were using me in WCW. It was hard for me to be interested in what they were doing, and what they were doing with me was pretty pathetic.
Bret Hart
When, over fifty years ago, I first became interested in economics – as a discipline that provided the key to social structure and social problems – it never crossed my mind that one day I might be the honored recipient of a Nobel Memorial Prize.
Simon Kuznets
I did poorly in math for a couple of years in middle school; I was just not interested in thinking about it.
Maryam Mirzakhani
I’m left-brained, so I’m all about a mathematical approach to language. I’ve always been interested in that.
Bo Burnham
I think it’s ironic that I fell in love with a man I thought I would never be interested in because he’s an athlete. I was always, ‘An athlete? Heck no.’
Jessica Simpson
What turned me on then, and turns me on even today – and when the time comes from me to retire from management I think I’d still be interested in it – is that everything that happens in the world affects the price of securities.
Sanford I. Weill
I’m interested in where we are, where we’re going, where we’ve come from.
Peter Carey
I am not interested in power for power’s sake, but I’m interested in power that is moral, that is right and that is good.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
I have always been interested in politics. I was in the student union before, very active.
Abdullah Ahmad Badawi
Nothing connects with people like humanity. That doesn’t mean you have to tell slice-of-life stories all the time. But you know, with so many options in technology, the consumer’s not really that interested in advertising… They are interested in great stories. That transcends any medium.
David Droga
I’m not interested in how people move, but what moves them.
Pina Bausch
I have never acted in one and I’m not at all interested to do so either.
Ville Valo
It’s an interesting time that way. It’s hard to meet good girls down here. It seems like they’re all after something and interested in their own lives.
Scott Speedman
I’m not interested in playing the girl that’s just there to make the guy, you know, give him a talking to.
Winona Ryder
I’m more interested in books than people, and I always expect everybody else to be, but they’re not.
A. S. Byatt
If you say you want to automate cars and save people’s lives, the skills you need for that aren’t taught in any particular discipline. I know – I was interested in working on automating cars when I was a Ph.D. student in 1995.
Larry Page
We’re more interested in someone writing a really great answer that’s going to be read by thousands or tens of thousands of people over the next few years as it stays on Quora and as it gets distributed on the Internet.
Adam D’Angelo
I’m always interested in trying to investigate different personalities. I want to keep myself guessing and keep the fear element alive, so that I don’t get too comfortable.
Michael Fassbender
I was interested in photography from my college days and wanted to become a cinematographer.
Rao Ramesh
I went to Ohio University studying arts and history, and playing football. But I was only interested in girls, my pals and sports. I only did the minimum for school.
Ed O’Neill
When I see young people interested in music. I always look out for that passion in their eyes. You never know where that might lead.
Aaron Diehl
I am interested in people. I’m interested in telling stories, whether that is behind the camera or in front of the camera.
Amanda de Cadenet
I’m not interested in having an orchestra sound like itself. I want it to sound like the composer.
Leonard Bernstein
It wasn’t glamorous in my day. In the regions, reporters were seen as such low life that they didn’t merit their name in the Radio Times. Now people are interested in being famous. I never gave it a thought.
Kate Adie
If, like me, you’re interested in history, Egypt is a place of wonders. It’s the land of many civilisations, including Greek, Roman, Christian, and Muslim.
Michael Portillo
It could be that all awful dictators are frustrated artists – Mao with his poetry and Mussolini with his monuments. Stalin was once a journalistic hack, and I can personally testify to how frustrated they are. Pol Pot left a very edgy photo collection behind. And Osama seems quite interested in video.
P. J. O’Rourke
As the revenue of the farmer is realized in raw produce, or in the value of raw produce, he is interested, as well as the landlord, in its high exchangeable value, but a low price of produce may be compensated to him by a great additional quantity.
David Ricardo
It would probably surprise people to know that I’m interested in wildlife. I read a lot of poetry, too.
Sean Bean
Relapse happens, especially when you’re dealing with folks who are frankly the least likely to succeed based on their own pasts and difficulties. We can work with the most likely to succeed. I’m not interested in that.
Greg Boyle
I love people that work with passion and love. When you make choices that way, there’s reverberations, consequences. That’s what I’m interested in, that echo, that ripple of choice.
Derek Cianfrance
My mother has always encouraged me to do what I love. When I started being interested in fashion, she was very supportive, bringing me to see exhibits and buying me books. And when I started my company, she was right there to help me!
Joseph Altuzarra
No, I am not interested in women or sex or anything.
Jonny Greenwood
With all singers, insecurity is your best security. That’s why we’re such loud people and why we walk all funny. You think, ‘Are people interested?’ But I think our band has something and they know we don’t just put albums out. We do think about it.
Bono
It’s not really that I’m interested in filmmaking. I’m interested in the instrument of it, you know.
K’naan
Trump bragged about hiring only the ‘best people’ when he was running for president. We’re seeing, time and again, the opposite. It’s unclear whether the president’s definition of ‘best people’ is different than ours, or if the ‘best people’ simply aren’t interested in working for him.
Ted Lieu
My belief is that the vast majority of people using digital currency today are not seeking to evade taxes. They are simply investors seeking returns and people interested in a nascent new technology.
Brian Armstrong
I’m very interested in dance, and I’m very interested in how people express themselves through movement. And of course, cinema is a kinetic art form. It’s almost the point of cinema – it’s time-based and movement-based.
Joe Wright
I always dream about other musicians. And they’re never interested in hanging out with us. It’s like being at school and the bigger boys don’t want to play with you!
Chris Martin
I feel that the music that I do is somewhat of a lost art and it’s not as popular as dance or pop music and people are not as interested in it. But it’s something that I believe in and I feel that it’s needed, so that’s why I do it and I will keep doing it until everybody hears it and gets it.
Jazmine Sullivan
Well all the big companies are really panicked by the internet thing and all that, and sales went down, although sales have gone up again in this country a bit and also the big companies, because they’re so big, they need big sales really so they’re not really interested.
Jack Bruce
I’m very proud of being a woman, and as a woman, I don’t even like the word ‘feminism’ because when I hear that word, I associate it with women trying to pretend to be men, and I’m not interested in trying to pretend to be a man. I don’t want to embrace manhood; I want to embrace my womanhood.
Evangeline Lilly
One of the aspects of form that I have been very interested in is stasis – the concept of form which is not so directional in time, not so much climactic form, but rather form which allows time, to stand still.
La Monte Young
Women are thought to be more social, more interested in relationships and connections, better at multi-tasking.
Aileen Lee
A lot of people hear me attacking their certainty. I don’t have any interest in doing that. I’m interested in penetrating the meaning of certainty.
John Shelby Spong
I’m not going to talk like I know about politics, because I’m a total amateur, but maybe I can be a spokesperson for people who aren’t normally interested in politics.
Bjork
I used to play a lot of cricket at the junior level. Then I did my engineering and got interested in singing and playing the guitar. Yes, I’m a musician. From music it was a step away from cinema.
Sudeep
I am not at all interested in theories about cinema. I am only interested in images and people and sound. I am really a very simple person.
Claire Denis
Buyers decide in the first eight seconds of seeing a home if they’re interested in buying it. Get out of your car, walk in their shoes and see what they see within the first eight seconds.
Barbara Corcoran
I like to say StumbleUpon provides a personal tour of the Internet. The responses are more targeted to your interests than they would be with a regular search engine. If you choose a topic on our site that you’re interested in, such as art, Web sites related to art appear, as if you’re leafing through an art magazine.
Garrett Camp
I’m interested in learning more about myself and what I value in myself and letting that be the beautiful part of me, rather than putting on the makeup or wearing the right designer.
Jessica Simpson
New Yorkers are mostly interested in New York – in case you haven’t noticed.
Jim Harrison
I was interested in both Western and Indian classical music.
Satyajit Ray
‘Logan Lucky’ is an experiment. The problem that I think needs to be addressed is, what has happened to movies for grown-ups made by people who are still interested in the idea of cinema?
Steven Soderbergh
I was very careful never to take an interesting job. If you have an interesting job, you get interested in it.
Mary Oliver
I don’t want the pictures to mean things. But the implication of the image and its relationship to the people that are viewing it is something I’m really interested in.
Kerry James Marshall
I originally got very interested in memory in high school when my grandmother came to live with us. She had been diagnosed with dementia. It was the first time I had heard the word ‘Alzheimer’s disease.’
Anthony Doerr
I’m really not interested in acting as a facade, I’m interested in it as an emotional expression and as a transcendent experience for an individual. I find that a lot of people, a lot of young actors, haven’t gotten to the point where they’re comfortable being stripped down. They’re still interested in ornate jackets.
Brie Larson
Why should anybody be interested in some old man who was a failure?
Ernest Hemingway
What our fans want, what our fans believe, what our fans are interested in is why we are what we are. But, nevertheless, ultimately we have to do the things that we believe are essential for the long-term health of the game, of the league, and of all of our franchises.
Gary Bettman
I’m always interested in relationships between women. I’m always interested in how women relate to each other, whether it’s a family relationship or it’s a friend relationship. That’s such uncharted territory in cinema.
Greta Gerwig
I would not have been interested in doing just a revenge film simply because I have seen so many revenge films right from Clint Eastwood films to Amitabh Bachchan’s ‘Zanjeer’, ‘Sholay’ and ‘Ghayal’ and various variants of them.
Sriram Raghavan
The more I’ve learned about me, the more I’m interested in others.
Shirley MacLaine
Maybe directors who are more interested in realism and naturalism come from cities, where they see things on their doorstep every day. But growing up as a kid in a very pretty but ever-so-slightly boring town, where not a great deal happened, encouraged me to be more escapist, more imaginative, and more of a daydreamer.
Edgar Wright
The more I’m committed to finding a way to genuinely be immersed in someone else’s life, the more enjoyment there is in it. I’ve never been interested in smoke and mirrors and cutting corners. I’d rather just do it for real.
Rupert Friend
I’ve only been interested in the artistic side of life.
Elton John
Being interested in science and engineering is not a male quality.
Emily Calandrelli
I am not interested when people refer to a quarter or this year because the way I look at a country is what are its prospects over the next 20-30 years, and India’s are good.
Jamie Dimon
I was interested in law and wanted to be a Supreme Court judge. We see so many pending cases in India and people are not getting justice.
Nikki Tamboli
I’m interested in what would normally be considered the worst aspects of commercial art. I think it’s the tension between what seems to be so rigid and cliched and the fact that art really can’t be this way.
Roy Lichtenstein
I could spend my whole life photographing circuses. They combine everything I’m interested in – they’re ironic, poetic, and corny at the same time. There’s also something about a circus that’s magical, sentimental, and almost tragic, like a Fellini film.
Mary Ellen Mark
I have a company that is not Microsoft, called Corbis. Corbis is the operation that merged with Bettman Archives. It has nothing to do with Microsoft. It was intentionally done outside of Microsoft because Microsoft isn’t interested.
Bill Gates
The studios don’t seem to foster good writing. They’re not so interested in that, but they’re more interested in what worked most recently. They’re definitely very serious about making money, and that’s not a wrong thing, but you don’t have to make money the same way all the time.
Bill Murray
I’ve always been interested in singing. My sister’s a fantastic singer, and it’s just something that’s always been around. I play saxophone and guitar. I’d definitely like to pursue it, and it’s something I’d like to keep going, if not as a career, then as a hobby.
Charlie Rowe
This work made me more and more interested in biological matter, and I decided that I really wanted to work on the X-ray analysis of biological molecules.
Aaron Klug
I was always interested in the 1920s and the gangster world, in general.
Terence Winter
I was interested in Prozac from a personal point of view because I can be a bit moody – things do get on top of me sometimes – so I was quite keen to find out what it would do to my personality.
Bernard Sumner
People aren’t interested in others controlling what they can do or read or see in the privacy of their own homes.
Larry Flynt
I am much more interested in defending my ideas than defending my identities.
Ilhan Omar
I always had a larger view. I’m interested in real life – my family, my friends. I have tried never to define myself by my success, whatever that is. My happiness is way beyond roles and awards.
Amy Adams
Not everyone has been a bully or the victim of bullies, but everyone has seen bullying, and seeing it, has responded to it by joining in or objecting, by laughing or keeping silent, by feeling disgusted or feeling interested.
Octavia E. Butler
I grew up in Hollywood, California. A lot of my parents’ friends were in the motion picture industry, but I saw their doctor friends as more solid. I admired them; there was a peacefulness in them, a sense of purpose that I liked. So I became very interested in being a surgeon.
Spencer Johnson
I was very interested in that. It is very important to have confidence as well as to build up experience.
Alain Prost
Even when I was a kid, I was never interested in any of that marriage or baby stuff.
Jane Fallon
I figured out that I was interested in acting while at NYU.
Alexis Bledel
I like to be lean and flexible. I’m not interested in gaining size.
Sebastian Stan
I’m a great believer that any tool that enhances communication has profound effects in terms of how people can learn from each other, and how they can achieve the kind of freedoms that they’re interested in.
Bill Gates
My influences come from real life. I’m not interested in cinema for cinema’s sake. I’m interested in life – what one does and how one interacts.
Steven Rodney McQueen
I think of myself as a positive agnostic. I don’t know, therefore I’m open. I don’t know, therefore I’m interested.
Grace Slick
I am not a political writer. I agree with Stieg Larsson and Henning Mankell, who are social writers. I can’t write in that fashion. I am not good enough for that. What I am interested in is family dramas and why we are doing bad things to each other and what our motives are.
Hakan Nesser
Here’s the thing – I’m single, I haven’t been married, I don’t have kids yet. If I do have kids I would be interested to see them in my life, so here’s a movie for kids and I’m in there and I’m supposed to be kind of funny for kids.
Garry Shandling
I’m interested in anything about revolt, disorder, chaos, especially activity that appears to have no meaning. It seems to me to be the road toward freedom.
Jim Morrison
Kung fu and soccer are the two things that I was most interested in as a child.
Stephen Chow
I’m not interested in gigs unless I really want to do them. I walked away from music in 1997, and then there was a greatest hits in 2002. Thank God, it didn’t do too well because the record company wouldn’t promote it.
Pete Burns
I’m always interested in cooking and helping to bring people together.
Ainsley Harriott
When we meet, I’m interested and I’m curious about what he’s doing because he’s burning a number from a client. And I’m like, ‘Who is this?’ and my girlfriend’s like, ‘That’s a drug dealer. Stay away from him.’
Rosario Dawson
Once we’re willing to confront our emotional suffering, we begin making choices based on attraction instead of aversion, love instead of fear. Where we used to think about what was ‘safe,’ we now become interested in doing what seems right or fun or meaningful or ripe with possibilities.
Martha Beck
I know I’m not the greatest singer or dancer, but that doesn’t interest me. I’m interested in being provocative and pushing people’s buttons.
Madonna Ciccone
It’s one thing to have a relationship, to lay your hands on it, and another to make it continue and last. That’s something I haven’t talked about much in my comic strips, and it’s certainly something I’m interested in.
Lynda Barry
After PayPal, I never thought I would get interested in payments again. But bitcoin is fulfilling PayPal’s original vision to create ‘the new world currency.’
David O. Sacks
I think Canadians are more interested in international events than Americans because it is such a small country, so politics affect it more.
Jordan Peterson
In ‘Packing for Mars,’ I tried to convey the importance of getting young people interested in science.
Mary Roach
Many people repeat the past. I’m not interested. I prefer evolution.
Issey Miyake
I’m interested in two things. I’m interested in truth and I’m interested in fairness.
John Kennedy
There’s so much I’m interested in that I didn’t discover in high school. For ‘The Amazing Spider-Man’, because Gwen is a scientist, we went to a lab in San Diego, and we were learning about biology. And I’m fascinated! Because I never went to biology class in high school.
Emma Stone
My son Wesley has just turned 13. He was 12 during the recording of this record and he is quite a drummer already and has been studying drums since he was four, but he’s also very interested in African percussion and studies percussion.
Lee Ritenour
I’ve found numerous things – settlements, temples, possible pyramids, forts, roads – the list goes on and on. I’m not as interested in the discoveries as the types of questions they help us formulate.
Sarah Parcak
I got into film-making because I was interested in making entertaining movies, which I felt there was a lack of.
Guy Ritchie
Something stopped me in school a little bit. Anything that I’m not interested in, I can’t even feign interest.
Quentin Tarantino
When it comes to women, there has been a tendency to define women in sports in the context of their relationships – they watch games because their husbands watch. They’re interested because their kids play a sport. They buy tickets to a sporting event because it’s a way to spend time with family.
Indra Nooyi
I’m not interested in publicity for myself.
James William Middleton
I’ve always been interested, since graduate school, in why some children wilt and shrink back from challenges and give up in the face of obstacles, while others avidly seek challenges and become even more invested in the face of obstacles. So this has been my primary question for over 40 years.
Carol S. Dweck
It’s no secret that we were sticking just about every nickel we had on the chance that people would really be interested in something totally new and unique in the field of entertainment.
Walt Disney
You can make more friends in two months by becoming interested in other people than you can in two years by trying to get other people interested in you.
Dale Carnegie
I try to watch a movie a day, if not more, and through movies, I learned about so many different political themes I hadn’t been interested in and cultural things I hadn’t been aware of and economic factors I hadn’t thought about.
Hideo Kojima
I have no interest that I go to India or go to Hollywood or Bollywood. I’m not interested. I am a social media sensation. This is what I like.
Qandeel Baloch
I’m not obsessed with the idea of doing what you’re supposed to be doing when you’re a rapper. Walking around with cash that you haven’t even provisioned for tax. Spending all of your time in the designer store to create some weird impression. I’m not interested, bro. I just like making music, and that’s it.
Russ
Yes, I will put it out there – I will work for anyone for free if they’re prepared to make their clothing Fair Trade and organic. It’s really hard to get people interested in it.
Emma Watson
I was interested in the nature of human mental processes, which is what got me interested in psychoanalysis. And it became clear to me after a while that mental processes come from the brain, and in order to understand them, you need to be a biologist of the brain.
Eric Kandel
I’d tell my 20-year-old self, ‘Don’t be afraid to do it all. Whatever you’re interested in, just go for it. Don’t wait around for a better time.’
Angela Bassett
I’m not interested in creating a book that is read once and then placed on the shelf and forgotten.
Richard Scarry
I’ve always wanted to entertain people, and when I was in school, I was interested in creative writing, but wrestling was always there. When I ran into financial problems, I just figured when life gives you lemons, you have to make lemonade.
AJ Lee
It’s funny because as a composer, you want to hear your songs live on. I think a lot of times people will create a song and it becomes stagnant or something that they’re no longer interested in playing, and they leave it alone.
Christian Scott
I suppose I was interested in creating a vision; in the same way, I was very drawn to tension within cinema. Hitchcock was my other early obsession – ‘Psycho’ and its score. So there was the sense of trying to create an atmosphere: how a sound resonates and makes an effect.
Siouxsie Sioux
What I am interested in with birds, just as I am with spiders or monkeys, is what they do and why they do it.
David Attenborough
I’m not interested in dating. I like being with my own best friend, me. Certain women, particularly older women, cannot believe I like going to a social event by myself. But I do.
Gloria Allred
Math does come easily to me, but I was always much more interested in what theorems imply about the world than in proving them.
Antony Garrett Lisi
I don’t eschew autobiographical writing, but I’m not interested in mine to be so straightforward. The things that tend to move me the most are often those that I have to figure out its meaning for myself. The human being’s ability to make a metaphor to describe a human experience is just really cool.
Aimee Bender
I’m interested in villainy.
Jonathan Frid
I’m not that interested in female superheroes.
Kathleen Hanna
I am more interested in people’s attitude than someone who is a perfect face. Every time I walk the streets of London, I see someone who interests me. It doesn’t matter how old they are.
Giles Deacon
When my friends asked me to blog, I thought why not write a book? People may be interested in knowing what it would take to be Rajini’s daughter.
Aishwarya R. Dhanush
Everybody is interested in success, but nobody cares about the process behind it.
Pratik Gandhi
I’m interested in spirituality and in religion and our relationship to the divine.
Giancarlo Esposito
You may not be interested in strategy, but strategy is interested in you.
Leon Trotsky
In North Korean culture, love is a shameful thing and nobody talked about it in public. The regime was not interested in human desires and love stories were banned.
Park Yeon-mi
When I was a college student and I got interested in linguistics the concern among students was, this is a lot of fun, but after we have done a structural analysis of every language in the world what’s left? It was assumed there were basically no puzzles.
Noam Chomsky
I go to make art as who I am as a person. The fact that I am a woman comes into play maybe in the kinds of things I’m interested in or in the way I structure a canvas.
Judy Chicago
With the Red Sox, you have more of a literary interest in it. You know they’re going to lose; you’re just interested in how the plot is going to unfold.
D. B. Sweeney
The secret of the man who is universally interesting is that he is universally interested.
William Dean Howells
I’m not a cinephile. My films don’t reference films. I’m more interested in rhythm and feeling.
Miranda July
I could not write about ‘ordinary people’ because I am not in the least interested in them.
H. P. Lovecraft
I’m interested in glorifying something that we in the world would say doesn’t deserve being glorified. Something that’s forgotten, focused on as though it were some sort of sacred object.
Edward Ruscha
What we need is a strong education system that allows creativity to grow and encourages students to be interested in science and technology.
Frances Arnold
Analyzing humor is like dissecting a frog. Few people are interested and the frog dies of it.
E. B. White
I am not interested in trying to convince and change the mind of a bigot.
Angela Rye
With ‘California,’ editors were reading it, and fast, and others were emailing my agent to request it. Ultimately, there were a few editors interested in the book, and it sold at auction about two weeks after the submission process started. I couldn’t believe it!
Edan Lepucki
I never was deeply interested in any object; I never prayed sincerely and earnestly for anything, but it came at some time – no matter how distant, in some way, in some shape, probably the last I should have devised, it came. And yet, I have always had so little faith. God forgive me.
Adoniram Judson
I’m advocating that American citizens interested in democracy should stay out of chain stores.
Adam Clayton Powell, Jr.
I’m interested in using evolution to move forward into the future, to get biology to do a lot of new chemistry for us.
Frances Arnold
I never was religious, really, but I’m very interested in religion.
Ruth Rendell
I have always been more interested in experiment, than in accomplishment.
Orson Welles
I’m really interested in vegan nail polishes, because a lot of nail polishes have a lot of toxins in them.
G. Hannelius
I’m an all-or-nothing kind of person, and when I become interested in something, I give it my all.
Tom Cruise
One of the whole reasons for starting my initiative, Dare to be Different, is about getting more girls interested in motorsport and that’s everywhere, not just driving on track but creating a network where they have the support around them.
Susie Wolff
My mother and father were fantastic, very active. I find it difficult to say this, but I’m quite a loving person and I’ve always been loving to my friends. In the long run, that pays off. I’m very interested in other people, and if you are, they’re interested in you.
Boy George
I’ve given up looking for a boyfriend. That’s not to say I won’t be interested if the right guy comes along. But I’m not in a hurry.
Emily VanCamp
I’ve been around a long time, and I’ve been interested in memory for a long time. And one of my earlier interests in molecular biology of memory led me to define the switch that converts short term to long term memory.
Eric Kandel
One thing I got from my parents was that they talked about politics all the time. They weren’t educated or academic but they were interesting about and interested in the world.
Claire Fox
I am comfortable with myself, and this is how I am. I am not really interested in having an acrimonious fight with somebody.
Joy Behar
The perplexity of life arises from there being too many interesting things in it for us to be interested properly in any of them.
Gilbert K. Chesterton
Maybe people who aren’t too interested in period pieces will be now because ‘Bridgerton’ is so contemporary, so modern.
Claudia Jessie
We got Martha Stewart legitimizing homemaking for her generation, and then there’s this return to being interested in all things home, lifestyle, and food again. I think this generation is less about the frills and more about the flavor of things.
Nadia Giosia
I love New York City. Everyone is busy with their own lives – and no one is interested in some Hollywood celebrity walking past in downtown Manhattan.
James Van Der Beek
Ever since I was a kid, I’ve always been interested in the poetry of melancholy, if you like.
Steven Wilson
I’m not a fast thinker, but once I am interested in something, I am doing it for many years.
Haruki Murakami
During my Ph.D. program, I became interested in the informational structure of markets that turned into the work on signaling, which was the part of my early work that was recognized for the Nobel Prize, but it was not really a subject at the time.
Michael Spence
I’m interested in the history of the soul: the everyday life of the soul, the things that the big picture of history usually omits – or disdains.
Svetlana Alexievich
I’m not interested in anyone who would want me for the wrong reasons.
Rostam Batmanglij
The doctor has been taught to be interested not in health but in disease. What the public is taught is that health is the cure for disease.
Ashley Montagu
The rules of improvisation apply beautifully to life. Never say no – you have to be interested to be interesting, and your job is to support your partners.
Scott Adsit
I’m a woman, and I’m interested in writing stories from a female perspective.
Abi Morgan
I’m not interested in closure. Some people just have heart attacks and die, right? There’s no closure.
Larry David
I began these clinics because I want to share my years of experience in around the ring, in addition to my proven winning methods. I have seen the good and the bad. I have learned valuable lessons, which I want to pass along to those truly interested in the sport.
Emanuel Steward
I have hundreds and hundreds of songs waiting to get on albums, but I don’t know about the three-month radio tours and if I’ll be interested in that. I haven’t figured it out, but I will definitely be doing music, whether it is independent or with a major record label.
Jewel
I wanted to go to LaGuardia High School for acting, but my math grades weren’t high enough. So I didn’t get to go to a school that was geared toward the art that I was interested in because I wasn’t good enough at math.
Indya Moore
I’m into wellbeing, not because of social pressures to look a certain way, but because I’m interested in living a long, full and healthy life.
Kelly Brook
The good news, though, is that I find in my political travels that people, as regular citizens, are more interested than ever in getting together and having discussions. They want to hear about other viewpoints that differ entirely from what the administration is putting out.
Jim Hightower
I think a part of me thought that I might be interested in academia because I really do love school. I mean that on all levels – I like educational environments; I like being part of that community of learning and exploration. And I like to talk.
K. Flay
I’m not interested in making money. It’s just that with my talent, I’m cursed with it.
Noel Gallagher
I don’t wanna get into that space where a lot of guys now, their solo album is like eight or 10 songs with other people, you don’t get an idea of who this guy is. I just wasn’t interested in that.
Mos Def
If anything, if you can get somebody interested in something and get them excited, that’s great. You should be praised for having opened the debate and having asked the right questions.
Oliver Stone
The advice I’ve been giving to people all my life – that you may not be interested in the dialectic but the dialectic is interested in you; you can’t give up politics, it won’t give you up – was the advice I should have been taking myself.
Christopher Hitchens
I’d always been interested in Nigeria’s past.
Ayobami Adebayo
My dad has always been extremely supportive in every decision I’ve made and much more interested in me picking what I wanted to do.
Colin Hanks
My friends have said, ‘Wait, you’re pretty, and you sing? What do you mean you’re interested in science?’ I have to just hold my head and go, ‘Do you hear yourself?’ By no means should you ever limit yourself because of what others think or because of their perceptions of what someone looks like in a certain field.
Auli’i Cravalho
My co-stars call me selfish. They say, ‘You are only interested in yourself and what you are only interested is yourself and what you are doing in front of the camera.’ I reply, ‘I can’t help it; it’s what got me where I am.’
Kareena Kapoor Khan
In serial music, the series itself is seldom audible… What I’m interested in is a compositional process and a sounding music that are one in the same thing.
Steve Reich
Unfortunately for governments like that of Iran, when they forbid something, people become more interested.
Azar Nafisi
I was always interested in mixing experimentation with pop music, and Brian Eno, Kraftwerk, Tangerine Dream – we were all doing it at the same time, just very isolated from each other, all in our different cellars, in different worlds, without the Internet – underground in every sense.
Jean-Michel Jarre
Some people really want to play Mozart and be just performers. I was more interested in invention.
Steve Lacy
Last year when I was playing for Hamphsire, Delhi Capitals asked me if I was interested in playing for them. I took my time and I thought it’s an opportunity for me to learn something new. To take my game forward, to take my T20 game forward.
Ajinkya Rahane
IQ is a commodity, data is a commodity. I’m far more interested in watching people interact at a restaurant with their smartphone. We can all read ‘Tech Crunch,’ ‘Ad Age.’ I would rather be living in the trenches. I would rather be going to Whole Foods in Columbus Circle to watch people shop with their smartphones.
Gary Vaynerchuk
I studied graphic design originally. I used to like drawing, and I was quite into technical drawing. I was always interested in the visual medium, but I thought I was going to be an architect or something like that, but it’s quite a lonely job.
Asif Kapadia
The saxophone is a very interesting machine, but I’m more interested in music.
Steve Lacy
It’s very important for Christians to be honest with God, which often, you know, God is much more interested in who you are than who you want to be.
Bono
I’m very interested in Comedia dell’Arte.
Alan Tudyk
I was always interested in going deeply into the life of the Prophet.
Deepak Chopra
I am an agnostic, even though I respect and am interested in all religions. If there’s something I believe in, it’s a mysterious energy; the one that fills the oceans during tides, the one that unites nature and beings.
Monica Bellucci
I’m interested in most everything.
Mark Kurlansky
I wasn’t interested in having to live with a camera – I have a hard enough time getting along with myself. I don’t need cameras around and all that action.
John Trudell
My life has been the antithesis of that book ‘The Secret’. I’ve always been interested in doing what I do. I love storytelling and I really enjoyed acting, but it never seemed like a realistic thing.
Aaron Stanford
I’m not interested in doing something edgy with a capital E just so everyone knows, ‘Oh, OK, now he’s showing us he can do edgy.’
Tom Hanks
But I have been interested in dreams, really since I was a kid. I have always been fascinated by the idea that your mind, when you are asleep, can create a world in a dream and you are perceiving it as though it really existed.
Christopher Nolan
I am not interested in perfection, and neither are the women who wear my clothes.
Alber Elbaz
Find something that you’re really interested in doing in your life. Pursue it, set goals, and commit yourself to excellence. Do the best you can.
Chris Evert
I cannot remember a time when I was not interested in both gardening and painting. I must have been born with a trowel in one hand and a paintbrush in the other.
Emma Tennant
I’m interested in ways that digital interfaces can be utilized as powerful narrative devices, and to engage people in new and exciting ways.
Aaron Koblin
I’m interested in so many different things and I’d like to cover a lot of territory. I’m trying to see my show as the Sunday ‘Times.’ You have the Arts & Leisure section, you have the Op-Ed page, you have the Book Review… even the Style section has those wonderful essays about relationships.
Joy Behar
At a young age, I became interested in space and science after watching the U.S. land on the moon for the first time.
Shannon Walker
I’m always interested in what you can do with technology that people haven’t thought of doing yet.
Brian Eno
You know, I have a lot of books on my iPad, but when I try to read them, I find myself wandering off to play games. Those are books I’m interested in. I can’t imagine what would have happened to me in college if my biology class had been on the same computer as ‘Words With Friends’ and ‘Doom.’
Gail Collins
From a young kid, I was quite interested in religion.
Russell Crowe
I am interested in the interaction of a group of people who have a common goal, or a common obsession, each contributing something unique to make something greater than the sum of its parts. I don’t know why, but from day one, that has interested me.
Steven Van Zandt
In school I was sidelined by Tamil language teachers. But in the film industry, I got interested in Tamil poetry after reading and working with the Vairamuthu.
Mani Ratnam
Not only had I not expected a random call from Joe Biden, but I could never have imagined he would make that call to ask me out. I’ve been asked if I was starstruck by the fact that a U.S. senator thought I was worth a call, but I honestly wasn’t. I was flattered that someone I’d heard of was interested.
Jill Biden
Renewables is part of social responsibility, but the information revolution is the only main thing I am interested in.
Masayoshi Son
Growing up, dating seemed pretty straightforward: If someone was interested in getting to know you on a romantic level, they approached, exchanged info, and proceeded to communicate with you in a consistent fashion between outings of various natures.
Amanda Seales
You know, a lot of people are just interested in, in building a company so they can make money and get out.
Arthur Rock
I was surprised by the response of young people because there is a perception that those younger than the 1988 generation are not interested in politics.
Aung San Suu Kyi
I’m not really a bird person or an Audubon guy who studies them, but as I was around them, they interested me.
Gordon Lightfoot
I am interested in the idea that people should be able to define their own happiness.
Ayobami Adebayo
I have had UFO experiences, and yet, at the same time, I can easily be convinced that none of it is true. It’s hard to say whether or not you’re a believer. I’ve been interested in that subject matter, like lots of people. Perhaps foolishly, I’ve allowed some of that stuff to creep into my music.
Frank Black
I’m interested in raw land and trees and fresh air and rivers and lots of animals around them.
Kent McCord
My father was always very interested in space. I watch Star Trek and all those things, but I always had a different picture in my mind… maybe closer to Alien. I don’t see it in space as much as I do see it in different planets, with each having its own strange characters.
Sigourney Weaver
Many of my favorite films, if someone were to tell me simply what they’re about, I probably wouldn’t be that interested. Plot often has so little to do with what’s at the heart of a film.
Shane Carruth
I have always been interested in fashion and even contemplated being a fashion designer at one point of time.
Karan Johar
Yes, women are stronger than us. They face more directly the problems that confront them, and for that reason they are much more spectacular to talk about. I don’t know why I am more interested in women, because I don’t go to any psychiatrists, and I don’t want to know why.
Pedro Almodovar
I’m interested in characters that have just a touch of madness.
Greta Gerwig
For me, the most fascinating interface is Twitter. I have odd cosmic thoughts every day and I realized I could hold them to myself or share them with people who might be interested.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
You can talk about capitalism and communism and all that sort of thing, but the important thing is the struggle everybody is engaged in to get better living conditions, and they are not interested too much in government.
Bernard Baruch
God is more interested in your future and your relationships than you are.
Billy Graham
When I started working for Rolling Stone, I became very interested in journalism and thought maybe that’s what I was doing, but it wasn’t true. What became important was to have a point of view.
Annie Leibovitz
I’m a fighter, I’m a winner, and I’m not interested in just battling my team-mate for the back of the grid.
Lando Norris
I suppose the reason I chose electrical engineering was because I had always been interested in electricity, involving myself in such projects as building radios from the time I was a child.
Koichi Tanaka
I was never interested in looking at myself in an aesthetic mirror. My intention was always to get away from myself, though I knew perfectly well that I was using myself. Call it a little game between ‘I’ and ‘me.’
Marcel Duchamp
Because I am interested in the growth and development of early hominids, I play with my kids, you know, looking at their teeth or measuring their heads, which they like also, because it’s kind of fun.
Zeresenay Alemseged
I think among the retired FBI agents there are some who would not like to see him come back, but I think the people running the FBI now are interested in catching him.
Howie Carr
Aeroplanes interested me, and at the outbreak of the Second World War, I joined the RAF as a volunteer reservist. I took the opportunity of studying the books which the RAF made available for radio mechanics and looked forward to an interesting course in radio.
Godfrey Hounsfield
I’m always interested in looking forward toward the future. Carving out new ways of looking at things.
Herbie Hancock
We are not interested in the possibilities of defeat. They do not exist.
Queen Victoria
I was always pretty interested in my history. Not just the history of the Caribbean, the history of my people, but all walks of life.
Viv Richards
When I heard about the first Tomb Raider, I was very interested and I would have liked to have directed that. When I was approached for the second film, I was delighted.
Jan de Bont
You can make more friends in two months by becoming really interested in other people, than you can in two years by trying to get other people interested in you.
Bernard Meltzer
I’m interested in interpersonal space.
Drew Pinsky
Citizenship and ethnicity can become, in certain contexts, restrictive, and perhaps that’s one reason I was interested in people who feel compelled to mask their origins and thereby circumvent the restrictions.
Rachel Kushner
I’ve always been tremendously interested in criminal law. It goes to a deep interest I have in prisons and the criminal element, and what we do as a society with it. I’ve always been touched by the idea of criminality.
Elizabeth Strout
I was born on January 8, 1942, exactly three hundred years after the death of Galileo. I estimate, however, that about two hundred thousand other babies were also born that day. I don’t know whether any of them was later interested in astronomy.
Stephen Hawking
I’m not interested in observed reality.
Howard Barker
Before this DJ thing, I was hopelessly taking things apart to try to figure out how they worked. I’d go mess around with burned-out cars, with my mom’s stereo – I was public enemy #1 in my house for that. So my mom noticed that I was interested in this and decided to send me to school so I’d know what I was doing.
Grandmaster Flash
I don’t do any social media. I’m not on Facebook or Twitter. I’m just not interested.
Shaun Evans
Being in a successful marriage is no different than being cast in a successful movie. It’s all about who you pick; in that first moment, did you pick the right person? I think you need to pick somebody who’s more interested in being married than in getting married.
Rob Lowe
I grew up in an non-athletic family, where my parents were interested in music, in literature, in education and art.
Bill Walton
Are we interested in treating the symptoms of poverty and economic stagnation through income redistribution and class warfare, or do we want to go at the root causes of poverty and economic stagnation by promoting pro-growth policies that promote prosperity?
Paul Ryan
Unlike the expressionists, I have never been interested in renewing the world through the vehicle of art.
Georg Baselitz
I’m not as aware of categories in music as some people are. To me it’s just music. I’m interested in all kinds of music.
Leon Russell
When you are truly interested in other people, you will learn what they are interested in and if they have a need for your product. If they like you, and most people like folks who take an interest in them, they’ll help you find people who do need what you have to sell, even if they don’t.
Zig Ziglar
There are two types of collector, I think. There are those who are quite academic, and get into the archaeology of finding the earliest example of a particular idea. Then there are those interested in what’s new.
Adam Clayton
The stories I’m interested in are challenging ones, and maybe that requires a little bit more of you. I love my job and I want to earn the right to do it every single day.
Daniel Radcliffe
I’ve always been interested in people, but I’ve never liked them.
Henry James
I’m not interested in a character’s goodness. I’m interested in what makes them human.
Sarah Paulson
I was never interested in being a rock star. I always wanted to be Boris Karloff.
Gene Simmons
I grew up watching my dad be a singer, so it’s something I’ve always been interested in.
Sofia Richie
I’ve always been interested in arrival, and coming to a space, and even to looking back at where you were.
James Turrell
When you really don’t like a guy, they’re all over you, and as soon as you act like you like them, they’re no longer interested.
Beyonce Knowles
Founders are supposed to be not at all interested in selling. But there is a price at which a founder can’t help being interested.
Alexis Ohanian
I don’t need fame any more. People are less interested in me in terms of celebrity. I’m happy to see a new generation being the media focus. I’m happy my day is done. It’s over.
Dan Aykroyd
I’ve always been interested in oral traditions and mythological stories and legends from antiquity that have to do with nature, attempts to explain mysterious or puzzling, or very striking phenomena from nature. Things that people observed or heard about in nature.
Adrienne Mayor
Like anyone from any party who has stood for election, I’ve often had the depressing experience of meeting an 18- or 19-year-old new voter on the doorstep and being told: ‘I’m not interested in voting’ or ‘none of this matters to me.’
David Lidington
I had always been interested in race and racial justice, but mostly it was with my nose pressed up against the glass, looking at the South from a long way away.
Tom Brokaw
I’ve found stability. I think I’ve become stronger and more relaxed. I’m more curious and interested in work, and there are more things I want to express.
Hyun Bin
One great benefit of not being on TV every week is that people will be a lot less interested in what I have in my supermarket basket. I could even un-tint my car windows – or at least opt for a lighter shade.
Hugh Laurie
I was more interested in the older generation as they seemed to be the last remaining remnants of the British Raj – people who remembered the railway cantonments, the Marilyn Monroe look-a-like contest, the Central Provinces,’ and so on, a world long gone.
Karan Kapoor
Neither Dhanush nor I have been interested in using Appa’s name ever. We have been married for eight years and I don’t think you’d have ever seen Appa at any of Dhanush’s audio release functions or movie success functions.
Aishwarya R. Dhanush
In France, the image I had was of a shy girl – a poor lonely girl and not too good-looking. When I went to England, I had another image. I felt the journalists were much more interested in my looks than in my songs.
Francoise Hardy
I’m interested in people who have to overcome obstacles, people who are not sheltered by the umbrella of the establishment, marginals.
Isabel Allende
That’s what I’m interested in: the space in between, the moment of imagining what is possible and yet not knowing what that is.
Julie Mehretu
Nobody should be anything, but because I once had a different profession and I’m interested in writing, I took it upon me.
Rem Koolhaas
To be interested in food but not in food production is clearly absurd.
Wendell Berry
I’m not an academic philosopher, and don’t agree with the way the universities approach the subject. I’m a philosopher only in the very loose sense of someone interested in wisdom and well-being attained through reason. But I’m as interested in psychoanalysis and art as I am in philosophy.
Alain de Botton
Like a lot of people, I’m interested in public service and want to do as much as I can to change the direction of this country and will give some consideration to that after midterm elections.
John Thune
The greatest happiness comes from being vitally interested in something that excites all your energies.
Walter Annenberg
I have two young sons that are very interested and work in real estate. I made it a policy they need to work five years in progressively responsible jobs outside of the company, preferably in New York, and then get a masters degree, so I am making it hard for them to join.
Jorge M. Perez
I’m not interested in my legacy. I made up a word: ‘live-acy.’ I’m more interested in living.
John Glenn
I think that people are interested seeing me on the screen.
Arnold Schwarzenegger
For a long time I was interested in being a social worker. In a lot of ways I feel that that’s all my music is, trying to help people.
Iris Dement
People are rejecting the power of the elite, but individuals such as Snowden are doing so in a positive way, trying to change things for the better. He is a very intelligent man and obviously interested in electronic music.
Jean-Michel Jarre
I’m not a left-wing person. I’m just a person interested in the sustainability of my country.
Robert Redford
I had fame and wealth and things that are supposed to make you happy, but I wasn’t happy, because there’s no importance on having a fulfilling life. So in my mid-40s, that was my pursuit – making films that interested me, films that I would like to go see.
Bobcat Goldthwait
I’m interested in all things that Donald Trump does. I’ve known him since 1980. He’s a good man.
Gary Busey
I’ve always been interested in pandemics, where they come from, how they arise, and the key feature which really fascinates me is that the biology of the bug is the least of it.
Norman Swan
The sexiest people are thinkers. Nobody’s interested in somebody who’s just vain with a hole in their head, talking about the latest thing – there is no latest thing. It’s all rubbish.
Vivienne Westwood
A lot of people are not interested in stories in which they don’t see themselves.
James McBride
The papers reveal that in several key abortion cases, justices were keenly interested in the perceived public reaction to their rulings – indicating that courts can be influenced by public sentiment.
Lee Greenwood
I win by submissions, knockouts. There’s guys ranked above me, but no one’s interested in seeing them fight. They want to see me fight.
Nate Diaz
The person interested in success has to learn to view failure as a healthy, inevitable part of the process of getting to the top.
Joyce Brothers
I got my first guitar when I was 15, and I just used to fool about with it, more or less, as time went by, though, I got more interested.
Paul McCartney
I’m not a religious person, and I’m not too interested in being a part of a religion, but I do like having some sort of communal gathering, and having some sense of peoples.
Ian MacKaye
I’m always interested in what fans think.
Daryl Hall
One of the things that I tell beginning writers is this: If you describe a landscape, or a cityscape, or a seascape, always be sure to put a human figure somewhere in the scene. Why? Because readers are human beings, mostly interested in human beings. People are humanists. Most of them are humanists, that is.
Kurt Vonnegut
My grandmother had flawless skin just from using basic skincare – an old herbal remedy in the form of a white powder and cream. I don’t actually know what was in it because when you’re young, you’re not interested in skincare, and I didn’t want to walk around the house with a white face.
Michelle Yeoh
I’m not interested in age. People who tell me their age are silly. You’re as old as you feel.
Henri Frederic Amiel
Today is life-the only life you are sure of. Make the most of today. Get interested in something. Shake yourself awake. Develop a hobby. Let the winds of enthusiasm sweep through you. Live today with gusto.
Dale Carnegie
The difference between a stranger sending you a message that you might be interested in at a very low volume level, no repetition, just sending it to very few people, and that being done as spam – those things get close enough that you want to be careful never to filter out something that’s legitimate.
Bill Gates
I’m interested in all kinds of pictures, however they are made, with cameras, with paint brushes, with computers, with anything.
David Hockney
An archaeologist is the best husband a woman can have. The older she gets the more interested he is in her.
Agatha Christie
I think anybody who is interested in keeping their money safe from the criminal banking system would want gold, silver, and Bitcoin.
Max Keiser
I’m very interested in my new kitchen equipment shop. I’ve started it with two friends.
Elizabeth David
In common with Michelangelo and Rembrandt I am more interested in the line, its rise and fall, than in color.
Edvard Munch
I’m very enthused about everything. I have a lot to say and a lot of things I’m interested in.
Daryl Hall
My readers and my audiences have turned into my followers. They are more than interested in what I have to say in the subjects of sales, loyalty, attitude, networking, business social media, and becoming a trusted advisor.
Jeffrey Gitomer
I am interested in what I earn; I am interested in my growth.
Ratan Tata
Anything that keeps you happy and writing is part of my writing ritual: I like music, so I tend to have it playing in the background. But if I’m interested, I can write in an airport waiting areas.
Neil Gaiman
The very first step towards success in any occupation is to become interested in it.
William Osler
I think growing up is difficult and it’s a process that I’m always interested in, with kids and adults, they are often on two different universes.
Alice Hoffman
I’m really interested in sports medicine.
Marcus Mariota
I’m more interested in having a place to work out my voice and my body than I am in having furniture.
Wendy O. Williams
I continue to be interested in new things that seem old and old things that seem new.
Jaquelin T. Robertson
You see, I was told stories, we were all told stories as kids in Nigeria. We had to tell stories that would keep one another interested, and you weren’t allowed to tell stories that everybody else knew. You had to dream up new ones.
Ben Okri
Before the Beatles, America was musically a very conservative country. You can see film footage of people at a baseball game, they all had hats and ties on, and the women were dressed up like they were going to church. That was the America that I started getting interested in musically.
Don McLean
I feel that, as a person of color, I’ve always been interested in the stories that are quiet and the stories that often get overlooked.
Tracy K. Smith
Whether slavery shall go into Nebraska, or other new territories, is not a matter of exclusive concern to the people who may go there. The whole nation is interested that the best use shall be made of these territories. We want them for the homes of free white people.
Abraham Lincoln
I perhaps ought to say that individually I never was much interested in the Texas question. I never could see much good to come of annexation, inasmuch as they were already a free republican people on our own model.
Abraham Lincoln
When you have children, you can’t say you’re not interested in money.
Sloan Wilson
I think we were colonized by aliens 250,000 years ago, and they genetically altered our DNA to be primates into homo erectus and humans. I’m very interested in how we evolved so suddenly, which obviously ties in with the alien thing.
Al Jourgensen
Competitive people, especially in sports, want to learn about everything. So when you’re interested in something, you become a bit obsessive. You start to research it and ask questions about it, and before you know it, you have a serious hobby because of how you’re programmed.
C. J. McCollum
I don’t always enjoy them, but when a scary movie has a really good storyline, that gets me interested.
Sadie Sink
A world in which government is burdened by historic debt, philanthropy has limited resources, and the private sector is only interested in its own personal gain is simply unsustainable.
Simon Mainwaring
Corporate documents, like football game plans, are not easily drafted in a stadium, with thousands of very interested fans participating, each with their own red pencil, trying to reach a consensus on every word.
Jon Postel
I’m not really interested in making money.
Steven Spielberg
I’ve just always been very interested in story above all.
Anna Gunn
I’m a lot more interested in people than I used to be. I used to be most interested in abstract ideas, and people were an afterthought, but that’s changed a bit.
Malcolm Gladwell
I think that people are definitely interested in the idea that Joan has conversations with God.
Amber Tamblyn
I met my agent when I was 10 years old on a family skiing vacation. He asked if I was interested in acting, and I had been doing school plays. A couple of years later, I called him up, and I started auditioning.
Halston Sage
Maybe I’m the only footballer who isn’t interested in cars. My Lancia Y gets me around.
Gianluigi Buffon
We are more interested in making others believe we are happy than in trying to be happy ourselves.
Francois de La Rochefoucauld
No, I’m not interested in politics. I have zero interest. I have interest in hope and people.
Jay-Z
I know that movies are basically meant to be entertainment, but I’m not that interested in entertainment.
Scott Rudin
In science, we must be interested in things, not in persons.
Marie Curie
If we were not all so interested in ourselves, life would be so uninteresting that none of us would be able to endure it.
Arthur Schopenhauer
I am interested in agricultural corporations and how they function. The idea that they own the genetics of our food supply is a really compelling thing to me.
Paolo Bacigalupi
It ought to be illegal for an artist to marry. If the artist must marry let him find someone more interested in art, or his art, or the artist part of him, than in him. After which let them take tea together three times a week.
Ezra Pound
There are things I am more interested in than the clone thing. How are they trying to find their place in the world and make sense of their lives? To what extent can they transcend their fate? As time starts to run out, what are the things that really matter?
Kazuo Ishiguro
But the customer is the final, final filter. What survives the whole process is what people wear. I’m not interested in making clothes that end up in some dusty museum.
Marc Jacobs
I’m also interested in the modern suggestion that you can have a combination of love and sex in a marriage – which no previous society has ever believed.
Alain de Botton
I’m just being myself. To me, that people are interested in Jenni, not necessarily the artist, but the woman… it amazes me still.
Jenni Rivera
Even while I’m really interested in playing female characters that are varied and interesting and dynamic, I’m not of the mind that you always want to play strong female characters. I think I just want to play characters that are interesting, and not all people are ‘strong.’
Tessa Thompson
There’s nothing I believe in more strongly than getting young people interested in science and engineering, for a better tomorrow, for all humankind.
Bill Nye
I’d never been interested in wrestling; I never even watched it. But one day I met Vince McMahon, and he asked me why no one had ever put me on television before.
Sable
The crucial task of old age is balance: keeping just well enough, just brave enough, just gay and interested and starkly honest enough to remain a sentient human being.
Florida Scott-Maxwell
People who are more than casually interested in computers should have at least some idea of what the underlying hardware is like. Otherwise the programs they write will be pretty weird.
Donald Knuth
I try to swim against the current as much as possible when it comes to the tribalism that defines the way people do politics on social media, and I try to present myself as an individual and humanistic voice. I’m interested in people, not just factions.
ContraPoints
I was one of the only ones there interested in acting. You find when you’re doing school plays that a lot of people there were on punishment, or something.
Sam Riley
The pace of innovation may slow down or speed up depending on the appetite in the public markets, but the constant progress of technology doesn’t really ever stop. There’s always opportunities for new ideas and creative people to go build great things. I’m always interested in learning about those kinds of opportunities.
Adam Dell
You must learn day by day, year by year to broaden your horizon. The more things you love, the more you are interested in, the more you enjoy, the more you are indignant about, the more you have left when anything happens.
Ethel Barrymore
I’d have to struggle to find a subject in which I can’t get some kind of interested pulse started.
Frank Delaney
I think it’s nice to let people know that there is an invisible part of the world. I think there are many people now who are interested in the invisible world.
Yoko Ono
The score never interested me, only the game.
Mae West
I’ve always been interested in gadgets and technology and I’ve always been a reader.
LeVar Burton
I’m very interested in the impact of biotechnology on the way people live.
Lois McMaster Bujold
I am not interested in slice of life, what I want is a slice of the imagination.
Carlos Fuentes
I am really not interested or excited by repeating former successes.
George Michael
There are a lot of roles in Shakespeare, basically. If I feel that the script is a movie, I would be interested in doing any role of Shakespeare’s.
Al Pacino
I’m very interested in writing – it just takes so much discipline, whether it’s short stories or novels.
Conor Oberst
I want to point out, there are a lot of politicians who enjoy the political end of politics, but they’re not interested in governance. And then, there are some that are really interested in governance and are just terrible at politics.
Molly Ivins
Some time ago, we went to Asia and took a camera along, and I began to do what I’d done even years ago doing people. I couldn’t get interested in it. And I did hundreds of photographs of details of the monuments as sculpture.
Ben Shahn
To stay interested in tennis, I have to mix it up with other things.
Venus Williams
I think reading is important in any form. I think a person who’s trying to learn to like reading should start off reading about a topic they are interested in, or a person they are interested in.
Ice Cube
I’m very much more interested in the created family than I am in actual families.
Joss Whedon
I’m interested in how innocence fares when it collides with hard reality.
Geoffrey S. Fletcher
I’m also interested in creating a lasting legacy for collectors because bronze will last for thousands of years so I’m not really selling the art to this particular collector but it is being passed on.
Richard MacDonald
I started doing comedy because that was the only stage that I could find. It was the pure idea of being on stage. That was the only thing that interested me, along with learning the craft and working, and just being in productions with people.
Robin Williams
I’m trying to create a collection of stories – the ‘U.F.O.W.A.V.E.’ songs are all stories. I haven’t really taken direct lyrical influence from other songwriters, but my dad bought me a book of W.H. Auden’s poems when I was younger, and the imagery really interested me.
King Krule
You’d always see a lady or a little girl sitting at a piano. I decided I wanted to play something more unexpected, so that’s when I got interested in learning to play the guitar.
Barbara Lynn
I know there have been some catastrophically unpopular programmes on television over the years. Has it ever got to the point where the only person still interested in what’s happening is the person who’s on the telly?
James May
For as long as I can remember, I’ve always been interested in issues of social justice, political freedom, and civil rights.
Jennifer Chiaverini
In Sudan, we have been targeted by western countries because we have rejected their hegemony on Sudan and turned their companies away that were only interested in oil.
Omar al-Bashir
You read ‘Stalingrad’ by Antony Beevor because you’re interested in the Second World War or Russia or whatever.
Geoff Dyer
As free citizens in a political democracy, we have a responsibility to be interested and involved in the affairs of the human community, be it at the local or the global level.
Paul Wellstone
I’ve always been interested in the idea of space exploration. When I was younger it was just a dream, but the theory of rockets being able to travel through space was very much alive. I found it very exciting.
Gerry Anderson
I’m really interested in independent publishers and memes and mini comics. But even before that, I was interested in Japanese manga and anime.
Toyin Odutola
Forties are good! I’m thinking with my brain now, which is a lot more clear, and women seem to appreciate that. It’s a wonderful decade where you’re in control of yourself but the women are still interested.
James Marsters
I’m personally not terribly interested in designing wholesome characters, so I don’t have many variations to offer.
Akira Toriyama
I was quiet. If I really wanted to say something, I would. I just wasn’t interested in saying anything.
Nelsan Ellis
I’m just fascinated by houses. In another life, I’d have probably trained as an architect. If I had enough money, I’d collect them like other people collect teapots. I don’t know why I love them so much. I’m just very interested in the idea of a house as a metaphor for the way one lives.
Frances Mayes
I can keep learning about all the different technologies. It’s my most telling characteristic. I’m interested in trying anything new.
Martha Stewart
I’m really interested in how we understand each other – and whether we can understand each other.
Celeste Ng
Sweetness is the opposite of machismo, which is everywhere – and I really don’t get on with machismo. I’m interested in sensitivity and weakness and fear and anxiety because I think that, at the end of the day, behind our masks, that’s what we are.
Alain de Botton
I had always been interested in markets – specifically, the theory that in financial markets, goods will trade at a fair value only when everyone has access to the same information.
Pierre Omidyar
It would have been easier to have a male protagonist, but I didn’t want people to assume that Nikki Hill was me in her entirety because a lot of people just don’t like me and I don’t think they would be interested in reading about me, even in the fictional context.
Christopher Darden
Wes Craven is obviously a horror film icon so I was definitely very interested in bringing something back to life that Wes had created.
Aaron Stanford
I think growing up in South Africa, and then moving to Canada, I’m just genuinely interested in the difference between the First World and the Third World, immigration, and how the new, globalized world is beginning to operate. All of those things run through my mind a lot.
Neill Blomkamp
Priorities are the yearly goals that I’m most interested in achieving, then they become operationalized through weekly goals.
Robert Pozen
The problem in Georgia is we’ve got targeted heavily by outside groups that were interested in recruiting voters for the candidates that they want.
Marjorie Taylor Greene
I’m interested in illuminating the enormous disparity between vast poverty and the tiny upper class… This vast inequity is unfair by definition, and I am interested in illuminating that and, where possible, changing that.
Nick McDonell
I’m only a little interested in politics. But I’m always on top of the news, both in Brazil and abroad.
Ronaldo
The thinking of John Cage derived from Duchamp and Dada. I was not interested in that.
Sol LeWitt
I loved books; I read my childhood away. I was more interested in my interior world.
Patti Smith
In my twenties and early thirties, I wrote three novels, but beginning in my late thirties, I wearied of the mechanics of fiction writing, got interested in collage nonfiction, and have been writing literary collage ever since.
David Shields
I have a lady, she’s a great lady. I love her a lot, she loves me. We’re on the same page. Whenever that day happens when we’re not on the same page we’ll move forward with it. We’re interested in having our lives be our lives right now and not a third person’s vis-a-vis marriage and whatever that means.
Jon Hamm
Yeah, I’m more interested in my iphone, MacBook and gadgets than hot girls.
Uday Chopra
But be that as it may, I think it is more respectful to you that I should speak to you upon and do my best to interest you in the subject which has occupied me, and in which I am myself most interested.
Arthur Cayley
I am interested in outsiders. I suppose I have always felt like one myself.
Rebecca Pidgeon
I’ve been interested in Japan since the 1930s, when I read about Japan’s vicious crimes in Manchuria and China.
Noam Chomsky
Beethoven was a deeply political man in the broadest sense of the word. He was not interested in daily politics, but concerned with questions of moral behaviour and the larger questions of right and wrong affecting the entire society.
Daniel Barenboim
Some go on to trade schools or get further training for jobs they are interested in. Some go into the arts, some are craftsmen, some take a little time out to travel, and some start their own businesses. But our graduates find and work at what they want to do.
Daniel Greenberg
I’m quite interested in my own mental processes, simply because I’m a failed scientist, and because I’m interested in how the brain and the mind works, and I like to avoid easy descriptions.
A. S. Byatt
I’m more interested in being good than being famous.
Annie Leibovitz
Rituals are important. Nowadays it’s hip not to be married. I’m not interested in being hip.
John Lennon
