When you are the lead in a romantic comedy you have to worry about people really liking you.

I'm not concerned with your liking or disliking me... All I ask is that you respect me as a human being.

I think it comes from really liking literary forms. Poetry is very beautiful but the space on the page can be as affecting as where the text is. Like when Miles Davis doesn't play it has a poignancy to it.

Liking money like I like it is nothing less than mysticism. Money is a glory.

It is not doing the thing we like to do but liking the thing we have to do that makes life blessed.

I can look back at stuff I wrote in my early days and squirm at some of the mistakes I made. But we're all learning every day we never stop. I just hope people keep on liking what I do. That gives me such a kick.

To act on the belief that we possess the knowledge and the power which enable us to shape the processes of society entirely to our liking knowledge which in fact we do not possess is likely to make us do much harm.

Success is getting what you want. Happiness is liking what you get.

I do not want people to be very agreeable as it saves me the trouble of liking them a great deal.

Until we meet again may the good Lord take a liking to you.

I'm sick of just liking people. I wish to God I could meet somebody I could respect.

How deeply seated in the human heart is the liking for gardens and gardening.

Friendship is also about liking a person for their failings their weakness. It's also about mutual help not about exploitation.

I grew up not liking my father very much. I never saw him cry. But he must have. Everybody cries.

Man I love the 'Lord of the Rings' movies. Some people would say I'm weird for liking those types of movies but they are so cool.

Beauty is about perception not about make-up. I think the beginning of all beauty is knowing and liking oneself. You can't put on make-up or dress yourself or do you hair with any sort of fun or joy if you're doing it from a position of correction.

Many art-worlders have an if-you-say-so approach to art: Everyone is so scared of missing out on the next hot artist that it's never clear whether people are liking work because they like it or because other people do. Everyone is keeping up with the Joneses and there are more Joneses than ever.

Experts on romance say for a happy marriage there has to be more than a passionate love. For a lasting union they insist there must be a genuine liking for each other. Which in my book is a good definition for friendship.
