I seem to keep returning to my father in poems because his personality was so extreme, so driven. He did everything to excess.
Robert Morgan

I start with actors that I know personally or I know their work, and there are things about their work or their presence or their own personality that make a character, that exaggerates some qualities and suppresses other qualities. It's always a real collaboration for me.
Jim Jarmusch

I talk as I sketch, too, in order to keep their minds off what I'm doing so I'll get the most natural expression I can from them. Also, the talking helps to size up the subject's personality, so I can figure out better how to portray him.
Norman Rockwell

I think all photographers fit their vision to their personality.
Kim Weston

I think generally playing live is a crap idea. So much of stage work is the presentation of personality, and I've never been interested in that.
Brian Eno

I think George W. Bush has a warm, engaging personality. But, you know, the presidency is more than just a popularity contest.
Al Gore

I think I 'turn off' women. I've a kind of a weird personality. Women may think that I'm a mess.
Ed O'Neill

I think I'm more European in personality.
Sally Kirkland

I think it has sullied his presidency. As brilliant a politician as Bill Clinton is, as magnetic a personality as he can be, there is one little screw loose somewhere.
Morley Safer

I think it's really important to design things with a kind of personality.
Marc Newson

I think my type of personality has all music inside of it, so I am full of music, without even knowing it, without even learning it, without even hearing it.
Ziggy Marley

I think that Mos Def is the best actor, but when you talk about rappers in films, I don't really think the quality of the acting is most important because most rappers are put in movies because of the personality and people want to see that.
Morris Chestnut

I think the best American poetry is the poetry that utilizes the resources of poetry rather than exploits the defects or triumphs of the poet's personality.
Mark Strand

I think there is a great difference, in that when the poet is reading you get the whole personality of the person, especially if he's a good reader. Whereas a person just sitting gets what he puts into it.
James Laughlin

I try to bring elements of my own personality to every character I've played, but I think I'm pretty similar to the character I'm playing now. The biggest departure would have to have been Freaks and Geeks Sara, who was this sort of subordinate and shy girl.
Lizzy Caplan

I try to build a full personality for each of our cartoon characters - to make them personalities.
Walt Disney

I try to find what is closest to me in the character. There's many sides to personality, but it's a matter of, do you entertain those specific areas of your personality, or are you afraid to entertain them?
Corin Nemec

I want to be an actress, not a personality.
Jill Clayburgh

I was a personality before I became a person - I am simple, complex, generous, selfish, unattractive, beautiful, lazy and driven.
Barbra Streisand

I will go to my grave in a state of abject endless fascination that we all have the capacity to become emotionally involved with a personality that doesn't exist.
Berkeley Breathed
