We should like to have some towering geniuses, to reveal us to ourselves in colour and fire, but of course they would have to fit into the pattern of our society and be able to take orders from sound administrative types.
I like the fact that Melbourne always seems to support their chefs and promote them in ways I find really admirable.
Banning paper and plastic and making shoppers carry their groceries home in their mouths like dogs is just the thing to make a little tin humanist in the Obama West Wing think he's admiral of the Uzbek Navy.
Admiration of the proletariat, like that of dams, power stations, and aeroplanes, is part of the ideology of the machine age.
I've been a longtime admirer of Condoleezza Rice, because I like her articulateness and style - her toughness and rigor.
I changed it to Leslie Hill, only that seemed more like a cocktail pianist. Eventually, being an admirer of Jack Benny, I took his name.
It's not that I don't like American pop; I'm a huge admirer of it, but I think my roots came from a very English and Irish base. Is it all sort of totally non-American sounding, do you think?
I've always been a huge admirer and lover of Alexander McQueen, Alexander Wang. I love so many British designers like Stella McCartney.
I used to think of George Michael as being mechanical, like a scientist in a white coat, working in a laboratory, creating perfect harmonies, and all the while I was secretly admiring him.
Advertising is a racket, like the movies and the brokerage business. You cannot be honest without admitting that its constructive contribution to humanity is exactly minus zero.
Something like 'Much Ado' happens, and even 'Avengers' happens because of the years of building connections and doing the work and proving yourself.
Apart from a period of crisis during my adolescence, when my voice was changing and I could not tame it - it was like a kicking foal that does not listen to reason - I have always been told I have a pleasant and recognizable voice.
I don't believe in professional dissidents. I think it's just a phase, like adolescence.
I feel like when I was an adolescent, and felt so unworthy of love and so empty, I moved outside of myself.
We cannot expect that all nations will adopt like systems, for conformity is the jailer of freedom and the enemy of growth.
I have worked positively and successfully with Senator Sessions on issues like adoption and human trafficking.
I like rom-coms. I think they're adorable and endearing.
I know what it's like to have my heart broken. It is not adorable.
I follow 50 people on Instagram who are these humongous families, like five or six kids or whatever, and I just think it's adorable and so cute.
I hate the idea of natural. For example, I prefer gardens to wild nature. I like to see the human touch. High heels are a complete invention - an extravagance. They're far from natural, but it's the impracticality that I adore. I prefer the useless to the useful, the sophisticated to the natural.
