I am not a long-run actor. I admire actors who can do that.
David Ogden Stiers

I am thankful I can see much to admire in all religions.
Alfred Russel Wallace

I can't bear art that you can walk round and admire. A book should be either a bandit or a rebel or a man in the crowd.
David Herbert Lawrence

I can't do pieces I only admire technically. I have to feel some direct contact with them.
Michael Tilson Thomas

I can't judge my own stuff. That's for others. But those are the three things that I admire.

I don't have any specific role model. I admire anyone who is strong, confident, intelligent.
Rita Mero

I don't like that, because there are a lot of people whose works I admire as actors or actresses, or musicians. And you know, I've been a big fan of different musicians or actors.

I don't pity any man who does hard work worth doing. I admire him. I pity the creature who does not work, at whichever end of the social scale he may regard himself as being.

Ayumi Hamasaki

I go to Prague every year if I can, value my relationships there like gold, and feel myself in a sense Czech, with all their hopes and needs. They are a people I not only love, but admire.
Ellis Peters

I had a really good time with Martha Stewart, who also is somebody I really admire a lot. I've learned a lot from her and I think all of America has, about attention to detail and using fresh ingredients and making things beautiful and special.
