~By Pat Mastelotto ~

~By Bill Condon ~

~By Lisa Marie Presley ~
The mere dates of my existence do not interest me, except in one connection. When the Great War started I was too old to be acceptable as a volunteer; when conscription followed I was too old to be conscripted.
~By Laurence Housman ~
I hate it when people lose it, there's nothing left because they're not interesting, they're boring, I hate it, and especially smack, people on smack are the most boring in the world.
~By Michael Hutchence ~

~By Ann Oakley ~

~By Josh Lucas ~

~By Joseph Needham ~
The food was interesting. My background is Russian, so cheese and potatoes are my love. There was plenty of that. And fried cheese! It is really, really, really good. And really, really, really bad for you. It's like an artery on a plate.
~By Michelle Trachtenberg ~
There is no maxim, in my opinion, which is more liable to be misapplied, and which, therefore, more needs elucidation, than the current one, that the interest of the majority is the political standard of right and wrong.
~By James Madison ~
I told my father I wanted to play the banjo, and so he saved the money and got ready to give me a banjo for my next birthday, and between that time and my birthday, I lost interest in the banjo and was playing guitar.
~By Jackson Browne ~

~By Ron Perlman ~
It is definitely a challenge to play Nathan, but the more different he is from myself, the more interesting the character becomes for me.
~By James Lafferty ~
Every American born today owes $43,000 to the federal government the day she or he is born. And we are transferring a tremendous amount of debt to the new generation, much of it owed to overseas creditors who expect to be repaid by our children with interest.
~By Mark Kirk ~
When things are too easy I lose interest in them so I find ways to complicate them to get myself interested.
~By Richard Marx ~

~By Bill Wyman ~

~By Gavin Bryars ~
At this point I have no interest in returning to wrestling. I am pursuing my acting career. But I never say never. I enjoyed the three years I was in the wrestling industry.
~By Rita Mero ~

~By Alex Winter ~
I always received much more satisfaction as a defense attorney in obtaining an acquittal for a client than I ever have as a D.A. in obtaining a conviction. All my interests and sympathies tend to be on the side of the individual as opposed to the state.
~By Jim Garrison ~
I'm not interested in a film about golf but I am interested in golf as a metaphor.
~By Robert Redford ~

~By Bernhard von Bulow ~

~By John Yoo ~

~By Roy Lichtenstein ~
I was amazed at the support that I got when I was in there. And when I came out people knew that I was back on track. I was interested in working again.

~By Johnny Olson ~

~By Marcel Duchamp ~

~By Catherine Deneuve ~
I'm not trying to stump anybody... it's the beauty of the language that I'm interested in.
~By Buddy Holly ~

~By Cliff Richard ~
I've always written, all my life, and when I was very young I developed an interest in poetry.
~By Jeffery Deaver ~
I had an interest, for as long as I could remember, in theater.
~By Antoinette Perry ~
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?
~By Kazuo Ishiguro ~
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.

~By Algernon Sydney ~
It was interesting to do a completely fictional piece. You know, Saving Private Ryan was not a fictional piece! So the challenge was: How do you incorporate real emotions? How do you incorporate aspects that people are going to be able to identify with?
~By Vin Diesel ~
No one's interested really in knowing what policies or diplomatic initiatives or arms negotiations might have been compromised by me.
~By Aldrich Ames ~

~By Shaukat Aziz ~

~By Harold H. Greene ~

~By Ethel Barrymore ~
It's interesting to see how we are all uniquely different.
~By Jai Rodriguez ~
Well, the years from 10 to 20, when your body, mind and everything is like changing every five minutes, can be pretty torturing. And most of the interesting characters, I think, are somewhat tortured or torturous. I'm 20 now, so I'm only just an adult.
~By Anna Paquin ~
I had a feeling about directing Cocoon II: The Return. At first I wasn't too interested because it was a sequel. Then I read the script and was excited by the relationships and its mystic quality.

I've been interested in watching the level of conservative misinformation that circulates through the media.
~By David Brock ~

~By Nelly Furtado ~
When I went to college, I wasn't interested in fashion anymore - I was interested in art.
~By Stephen Sprouse ~
I think any journalist who spends time in a place realizes that there are lots of stories around beyond their primary story. You meet so many interesting people and have all kinds of experiences.
~By Joe Sacco ~
Without accepting the other person's thinking, you cannot further your own interest. You need the other's help to get results.
~By Harri Holkeri ~
As societies grow decadent, the language grows decadent, too. Words are used to disguise, not to illuminate, action: you liberate a city by destroying it. Words are to confuse, so that at election time people will solemnly vote against their own interests.
~By Gore Vidal ~
So when I became interested in photography and further being inspired by the work that I saw of Ansel and others, it was a natural extension to go back to these places that I knew as a kid and explore them with my camera.
~By John Sexton ~
Our government is ready to guarantee their investments for them, and then we will create tax incentives. We are interested in having all these things and with the privatization we also want to create more jobs and better conditions for the workers.
~By Ibrahim Rugova ~
I was very careful never to take an interesting job. If you have an interesting job, you get interested in it.
~By Mary Oliver ~
But this is the great danger America faces. That we will cease to be one nation and become instead a collection of interest groups: city against suburb, region against region, individual against individual. Each seeking to satisfy private wants.
~By Barbara Jordan ~
My own views on abortion, I'm not on either pole of that and neither of the interest groups on either end of this issue would probably be comfortable with my views.
~By Stephen Harper ~
No man will work for your interests unless they are his.
~By David Seabury ~
You have to have pace, you have to have high production values, you have to have interesting graphics, and you have to have attractive people. CNN could afford not to be so obedient to those commands, and for a long time, it wasn't.
~By Brit Hume ~

~By Roy Lichtenstein ~
Selfishly, I make music for me. I like to make music. I like looking for songs. I like working with interesting musicians. I like producing records. It's something I will always do.
~By Herb Alpert ~

~By Johannes Rau ~
Friendship is a disinterested commerce between equals; love, an abject intercourse between tyrants and slaves.
~By Oliver Goldsmith ~
If a secret history of books could be written, and the author's private thoughts and meanings noted down alongside of his story, how many insipid volumes would become interesting, and dull tales excite the reader!
~By William Makepeace Thackeray ~
In college, I got interested in news because the world was coming apart. The civil rights movement, the antiwar movement, the women's right movement. That focused my radio ambitions toward news.
~By Bob Edwards ~
The most interesting thing about the idea of money is that it makes it possible to measure something in previous ages we couldn't be sure about, and that something is power.
~By Daniel Keys Moran ~
My father was adamant in his disapproval of my interest in show business.
~By Paul Lynde ~
