I had to accept that I was an alcoholic, that was the main thing. I think you've got to. But I try not say that I'm an alcoholic. I prefer to say that it's a disease I've got.
Paul Gascoigne

I have often been asked why I am so fond of playing male parts. As a matter of fact, it is not male parts, but male brains that I prefer.
Sarah Bernhardt

I have some women friends but I prefer men. Don't trust women. There is a built-in competition between women.
Edna O'Brien

I haven't had sex in eight months. To be honest, I now prefer to go bowling.
Lil' Kim

I just prefer instrumental. I don't need to hear what other people are singing. And if I need music as a backdrop to work or to think, I need to have that part of the brain clear - I don't need people feeding their fantasies into my vision.
Lydia Lunch

I just prefer wood. I like the smell. To me, it's a lot cheaper than electric or gas, and it's more convenient. It's just a better heat to me.
Junior Johnson

I know nothing about producing TV drama and any involvement on my part is liable to prove an obstacle to the producers, so I prefer to be a cheerleader and let them get on with it.
Bernard Cornwell

I know Quebecers don't want to relive old battles; they prefer to build for the future.
Kim Campbell

I like making black and white films in natural surroundings, but I much prefer shooting a color film inside a studio where the colors are easier to control.
Claude Chabrol

I like ties but I prefer not to wear one when I'm nervous.
Jamie Oliver

I like to sneak in under the radar. I don't have any paparazzi following me or have to deal with that stuff. I'm never in the tabloids. I prefer that.
Rob Schneider

I love it now that a large minority of people who are handicapped prefer to call themselves crippled. This is all part of the game, like queer theory.
Leslie Fiedler

I love TV. I know all the theme songs from the shows I watch. I'm not one of those who'd rather be a movie star. I prefer TV because of the rushed way of working-on a movie set, you sit around and wait and wait to do a scene because they're adjusting the lights.
Dana Hill

I love Wagner, but the music I prefer is that of a cat hung up by its tail outside a window and trying to stick to the panes of glass with its claws.
Charles Baudelaire

I may be known as the girl who was sunbathing topless with a Prince but Jordan is known as that thick girl who always falls out of clubs drunk. I know which one I prefer.
Jenny Frost

I much prefer a compliment, even if insincere, to sincere criticism.
Titus Maccius Plautus

I much prefer playing the bad guys. I think they are always the most interesting characters. I liken it to painting: if you're playing the good guy, you get three colors: red, white and blue. But if you're the bad guy, you get the whole palette.
Ronny Cox

I much prefer the modern world.
Keith Henson

I much prefer the sharpest criticism of a single intelligent man to the thoughtless approval of the masses.
Johann Kepler

I much prefer working with kids whose life could be completely upended by a reading of a book over a weekend. You give them a book to read - they go home and come back a changed person. And that is so much more interesting and exciting.
Russell Banks
