Interests Quotes

They say your childhood influences your tastes and interests, or your approach if you’re an artist. So what you create, whatever you saw, whatever your childhood was like - it influences how you’re going to end up Picture Quote #1

From early on there were two things that filled my life - music and storytelling, both of them provoked by my father. He was a jazz pianist and also a very good storyteller, an avid reader. He passed both those interests on to me Picture Quote #1

For Christians, faith is a precious good, the most valuable personal and social resource. When it is left untapped, the common good suffers - not just the particular interests of Christians Picture Quote #1

The next war, it seems we’ll have to destroy all of man in order to preserve his damn dignity Picture Quote #1

I’ve been a medical and public health professional as well as a mother. I became skilled at juggling a number of priorities and competing interests.

The State’s your mother, your father, the totality of your interests. No discipline can be too severe for the man that denies thatby word or deed Picture Quote #1

The intelligent investor shouldn’t ignore Mr. Market entirely. Instead, you should do business with him- but only to the extent that it serves your interests Picture Quote #1

There happened in the Middle Ages what has happened so often since then. Those who were the beneficiaries of the established order were bent on defending it, not so much, perhaps, because it guaranteed their interests, as because it seemed to them indispensable to the preservation of society Picture Quote #1

[Playing] the bad guys tend to be fascinating. Figuring out what makes them do the things they do is what interests me Picture Quote #1

That includes certain industrial interests, financial interests and political interests Picture Quote #1

My idea of an actor is to be different persons with different roles. Every time a script interests me, I look for interesting characters because I intend to completely transport myself into it.

I have never successfully written in the third person. If there’s a rhythm or a musicality that interests me, I become obsessed with the character, and I just have this need to spend time with him or her.

I like doing whatever interests me. It’s a challenge for me to try to make good comics out of any genre I tackle. I trust my instincts in getting me through the more difficult genres for modern readers, like violent crime or horror stories Picture Quote #1
