Listen, here's the thing about an English degree - if you sat somebody down and asked them to make a list of the writers they admire over the last hundred years, see how many of them got a degree in English.
You don't sit there at twenty-five, unpublished, inexperienced, and respond to Susan Sontag's editorial suggestions like a little snot, rejecting every one of them. But it had a lot to do with the fact that I didn't admire Susan's own fiction.
I think a lot of great male comic actors are introspective, quiet personalities, which I really admire. But they are really able to turn it up when the camera's on.
I've learned to treat celebrities as equals and just kind of meet them and admire their work, but I definitely could not breathe when I met Johnny Depp and James Franco.
I admire actresses like Jennifer Lawrence, who says what she thinks.
I admire Jodie Foster. Her head is screwed on really well. It's not loose at all.
I worked with people I admire; Josh Lucas, who I'd worked with many many years ago on a pilot called The Class of 61 and Kurt Russell, and so there were a variety of different people that I enjoyed working with.
Many of the writers I admire - Melville, Dickinson, Kafka - were virtually invisible during their lifetimes. Art, I think, often has to dance around in the void.
If people connect me with the Romantics in general, they probably connect me most with Keats. But Wordsworth is the poet I admire above all others.
I really admire Werner Herzog and Spike Lee. They're amazing documentarians. If you took away all the narratives, they'd just be amazing documentarians.
With soccer, I have the ability to do things differently. That is why I admire Leonardo da Vinci. He was able to create things other people wouldn't believe in.
I really admire people who have long-distance relationships. It's an incredible achievement. I couldn't do it.
The effect of studying masterpieces is to make me admire and do otherwise.
Yes, there are directors I admire, the mavericks. Altman. There are many good directors.
I just finished writing an essay about William Maxwell, an American writer whose work I admire very much.
I didn't agree with what Joe McCarthy was trying to do, but I sure did admire his methods.
All this is only for the mice and myself to admire!
As long as they are working, they should be legalized. I admire so much each and every migrant. They are the most loyal workers in the U.S. economy. They build the homes of those who are attacking them.
I don't really admire musicianship per se - as is obvious from my own playing.
In Europe, we admire grown-up women; I think men revere older women.
