~By Jonny Greenwood ~
I wasn't a big science fiction aficionado, there were a few films like 2001 or Blade Runner that were favorites of mine, but since I started this series I have gained more respect for the genre and become more of a fan myself.
~By Joe Flanigan ~
My favorite review described me as the cinematic equivalent of junk mail. I don't know what that means, but it sounds like a dig.
~By Steve Buscemi ~
My favorite traditional Christmas movie that I like to watch is All Quiet on the Western Front. It's just not December without that movie in my house.
~By Tom Hanks ~
Really, if I'm gonna eat a meat, I'd rather eat venison than anything and I do like it a little on the rare side. That's probably my favorite meat and I've had some awfully good venison in some of the great restaurants.
~By Mike Ditka ~
I don't really have a favorite bass player. I listen to a lot of bluegrass. But then again, I'm not a typical bluegrass bass player. I was really into the Grateful Dead, and I still am - I don't listen to them too much, but for me they are a big influence.
~By Mike Gordon ~
My favorite episode of Stargate? All of them! My favorite episode of Parker Lewis? All of them!

~By Lynda Barry ~
The Sand Pebbles has always been one of my favorite films, I suppose because its the most difficult film - from a physical and logistical standpoint - that I've ever made.
~By Robert Wise ~
Sharpe is my favorite role of all that I've played. He's a very complex character. He knows that he's a good soldier, but he will always have to fight the prejudice of aristocratic officers because of his rough working-class upbringing. On the battlefield, he's full of confidence - but off it, he is unsure, a bit shy and ill at ease.
~By Sean Bean ~
I feel like my music is just an extension of my acting. I treat the songs like scenes that tell a story... it's very similar. My favorite thing is when cartoon fans show up to my live gigs! They are always the most kick-butt audience members 'cause they're not trying to act all cool like a lot of the music fans do! It's refreshing!!
~By Grey DeLisle ~
My favorite rocker is Go because it is heavy and chaotic.
~By Mike McCready ~

~By Jeffrey Jones ~
When I'm in bed with a woman, my favorite move is a wrestling hold called the lip lock.
~By Jerry Lawler ~
Alinsky's 1971 book, "Rules for Radicals," is a favorite of the Obamas. Michele Obama quoted it at the Democratic Convention. One Alinsky tactic is to "Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it." That's what the White House did in targeting Rush Limbaugh, Rick Santelli and Jim Cramer.
~By Karl Rove ~
My favorite album would have to be Rocket To Russia. I feel this album has the most classic Ramones songs.
~By Johnny Ramone ~
You don't know when you're being watched. That's one of the weird things about celebrity. It's my least favorite part of acting, celebrity.
~By Denzel Washington ~

~By Tea Leoni ~
Is Elizabeth Taylor fat? Her favorite food is seconds.
~By Joan Rivers ~
With each piece I've completed I have worked to make it intact, and each of them has been an equal high. It's like children. A mother refuses to pick out one as a favorite, and I can't do any better with the dances.
~By Twyla Tharp ~
I love watching a good, freaky horror movie. I love it. It's one of my favorite things to do, to go and see at the cinema. Just to tune out and be freaked out.
~By Yvonne Strahovski ~
My favorite type of music to sing would be between R and B and opera.
~By Stefano Langone ~

My favorite puzzle is trying to work out the parts myself, after all it is a solo effort.
~By Adrian Belew ~
It's the sense of what family is at the dinner table. It was the joy of knowing mother was in the kitchen making our favorite dish. I wish more people would do this and recall the joy of life.
~By Paul Prudhomme ~
My favorite laser disk ever was the laser disk for The Graduate, which had a commentary track that wasn't even the filmmakers, it was a professor, some film criticism guy who just happen to be this amazing commentator who went off into the whole theory of comedy.
~By Jay Roach ~
I recently watched Peter Brook's Lord of the Flies, and it wasn't a favorite film. Then I saw the one that was made in 1990, which in my opinion didn't match up to the original.
~By Brendan Fraser ~
One of my favorite philosophical tenets is that people will agree with you only if they already agree with you. You do not change people's minds.

~By Dakota Fanning ~
My favorite is still the one that I started off with, which is a Les Paul Standard. I've played that at every gig I've ever had. And that's my starting point in the studio.
~By Dan Hawkins ~
There is no such thing as an impartial jury because there are no impartial people. There are people that argue on the web for hours about who their favorite character on "Friends" is.
~By Jon Stewart ~
All I know for certain is that reading is of the most intense importance to me; if I were not able to read, to revisit old favorites and experiment with names new to me, I would be starved - probably too starved to go on writing myself.
~By Penelope Lively ~
But my favorite band is Curbside Life, out of Chicago.
~By Augusten Burroughs ~
We've had some really good guest stars. But I have to go with Alec Baldwin as my favorite. He is so neat and such a movie star. He's handsome and quirky. I was in heaven the week he was on the set.
~By Nikki Cox ~
I love acting, truly my favorite people are actors.

~By Francis Quarles ~

~By Erma Bombeck ~
When I interview celebrities, I always try to throw them off balance. My favorite is to ask 'em about crazy sex stuff like donkey punches and Monroe transfers. Works every time.
~By Rachel Perry ~
You might have a favorite book or film, but you can only watch or read it so many times before you have to let it sit and then go back and realize it's your favorite still. At some point everything gets a little stale and you have to step away from it.
~By Les Claypool ~
The idea that I wrote something that stood for the way I feel about things, and that it lasts, that's probably my favorite thing that I've done.
~By Jackson Browne ~
And having suffered for part of the war when I was a child. I was too young to really understand what was going on but one of my favorite pieces of animation now is that Goodbye Blue Sky in The Wall because that deals directly with that period in time.
~By Gerald Scarfe ~
Sometimes a 3-1 favorite loses. That's why they call it gambling, and that's why they keep flipping over the cards.

My favorite actress of all times is Bette Davis in Dark Victory. I have seen it six or seven times, and I still cry.

~By Ashley Scott ~

~By Roseanne Barr ~
I think my favorite, and Coppola and that whole thing. East coast Italian directors I guess.
~By Anthony Michael Hall ~

~By David Hyde Pierce ~
My favorite actresses are Cameron Diaz, Julia Roberts and Julie Andrews.
~By Dakota Fanning ~
And then we watched an amazing number of movies from the late '60s and '70s, which is my favorite time, and we studied their camera movements, their stocks, the way they lit stuff, the colors they used.
~By Ted Demme ~
You know there's nothing a Hill Democrat would rather do than criticize another Democrat. It is their favorite activity. Then they can read about how honorable they are in an Op-Ed piece, how bipartisan.
~By James Carville ~
I don't care who's playing. Even if it's my favorite artist, I'm probably not gonna go and see him.
~By Etta James ~
