I look up to Mick Jagger because he’s an amazing performer and he’s such an individual. I respect him and admire him eternally.

To admire on principle is the only way to imitate without loss of originality.

However big the fool, there is always a bigger fool to admire him.
[After World War II:] By now we are used to the rubble, which they clear up religiously and indefatigably. What a determination to get on top again! One could admire it, if one would not be afraid that somewhere lurks another Hitler. But you can’t seem to find a single Nazi in Germany! Nobody was one! It was all a dream!
I admire my boss, Lorne Michaels. He never stops producing. I think, for him, comedy is a tool of compassion, a way of rallying people together and saying, ‘Guys, isn’t the world bonkers? Aren’t we all just trying our best?’ There’s a tenderness in everything he does.
I respect and admire the Premier League.
One of the things I’ve learned as a filmmaker is to have some aspect of the movie be something that I admire greatly, whether that’s an actor I’m working with, the subject matter, or a book.

Life began for me, when I ceased to admire and began to remember.
I admire rugged hard men who play rugby because it’s something I would never contemplate.

It’s disappointing when you finally get to meet someone you admire and he conducts himself as a jerk.
The friends I have, and the people whom I admire, are people who have an understanding of the conditions under which we live, and have a humanist sense of the world. If that’s lacking in my understanding of a person’s negotiation of the world, I can’t be close with that person.
Averageness is a quality we must put up with. Men march toward civilization in column formation, and by the time the van has learned to admire the masters the rear is drawing reluctantly away from the totem pole.
I’ve worked with Len Wiseman before, on the ‘Underworld’ series, in which I was a vampire. The first two of those were his first two films. And I admire him beyond measure. I think he’s tremendous, as a man and as a director.
If I made a list of the people I admire, Mom would probably fill up half of it. She could do anything and everything.
The first Republican I knew was my father and he is still the Republican I most admire. He joined our party because the Democrats in Jim Crow Alabama of 1952 would not register him to vote. The Republicans did. My father has never forgotten that day, and neither have I.

I can look back on my life, where there have been moments where things might have gone the other way. Everything is like stepping stones, and I’ve seen people I admire falter. We’re all vulnerable.
The actor shouldn’t edit themselves or be anxious. And the actors that I admire are always the ones who are inventive and their imaginative life in free-willing. It’s a director’s job to go, “No here, don’t do that, go there.”
If I’ve learned anything from TJ, it’s that life is a fine balance of holding on, letting go, and never looking back unless it’s to admire how far you’ve come.
The three actors I admire the most are all dead. Humphrey Bogart, Spencer Tracy and the French actor, Jean Gabin. They’re all very natural, sort of masculine without being overly macho.

We admire elephants in part because they demonstrate what we consider the finest human traits: empathy, self-awareness, and social intelligence. But the way we treat them puts on display the very worst of human behavior.
In the past, when I shot films about fishermen and hunters, I always had to admire their ability to perceive time in its entirety. The present was always temporary.
Aspire to decency. Practice civility toward one another. Admire and emulate ethical behavior wherever you find it. Apply a rigid standard of morality to your lives; and if, periodically, you fail В as you surely will adjust your lives, not the standards.
The only excuse for making a useless thing is that one admires it intensely. All art is quite useless.
This is the contradiction we have in the media. We love vigilantes: Batman, Tarzan, Green Arrow – the comic books and the TV shows are filled with vigilantes. We love to promote it. Jesus Christ was a vigilante. We admire these people, but we don’t want to be associated with them.
The tech titans and the tech guys who I most admire are the ones behind the scenes.
You know how much I admire Che Guevara. In fact, I believe that the man was not only an intellectual but also the most complete human being of our age: as a fighter and as a man, as a
theoretician who was able to further the cause of revolution by drawing his theories from his personal experience in battle.
theoretician who was able to further the cause of revolution by drawing his theories from his personal experience in battle.
The effect of studying masterpieces is to make me admire and do otherwise.
I’ve listened to Eminem rap. That’s not daily fare for me, but I can’t help but admire how vivid what he does is. My own taste goes a little more toward Norah Jones.
I was lucky to have the right heroes. Tell me who your heroes are and I’ll tell you how you’ll turn out to be. The qualities of the one you admire are the traits that you, with a little practice, can make your own, and that, if practiced, will become habit forming.

I always enjoy watching Derek Jeter play because he is a model of consistency both in the field and at the plate.

I just keep following the good writing. I’m not good enough to make bad writing look good. Some people can, and I admire them for it, but I cannot. I will go down with the ship.

Art cannot, perhaps, impose order on life—but it teaches us to admire even the unruliest of revelations.

As a general rule, I tend to collaborate with artists whose work I admire.
I admire American women because they are really good at putting a look together that is sophisticated. As British girls, we lean toward being a bit more messy, a bit more undone, and maybe a little more eccentric.

We all have our own paths. That’s the important thing of this movie. God’s waiting there for everybody. Be true to who you are and true to your values – not to media, not to the influence of friends necessarily or people even that you admire. Be true to your heart and you’ll find that path.

Show me what a people admire, and I will tell you everything about them that matters.

I think professionally I admire people and the way they’ve handled their careers and being in the media. But the people that I used to inspire me and keep me going were my peers in Toronto – I would see the same girls going to audition after audition, and their resilience to do it again, and I found that inspiring.
I say this everywhere I go: I admire and respect Hillary. She has been a lawyer, a law professor, First Lady of Arkansas, First Lady of the United States, a U.S. Senator, Secretary of State.

I am sure I am one of 2,000 film directors in the world that Tarantino admires.
For me, one of my favorites, director-wise, is Tim Burton. I also really admire the work of actors like Sean Penn. He is probably my favorite actor because of his dedication and commitment to roles, and the ability to morph and change himself when he needs to. It’s about dedication and commitment and a passion.
The person that I most admire is Jesus Christ. He is the only perfect Person. There is simply no comparison. The difference between Him and all other men is not merely quantitative, but qualitative. He is in a category all to Himself.
I am certain that most Germans have instinctive liking for Italy, just as Italians admire Germans for their many qualities.
If getting on the radio was a major motivation, I’d be one of the worst writers of all time. I admire people who do it, and I think it’s a nice way to work, but I try to do the best I can and write what I like. I don’t worry about it.
Now be sincere; did you admire me for my impertinence?” “For the liveliness of your mind, I did.
We can forgive a man for making a useful thing as long as he does not admire it
I admire David De Gea. I cannot remember anyone coming into Manchester United and being criticised the way he was. He was the subject of every debate in the media. You haven’t seen De Gea defend himself in the media or shifting the blame elsewhere. He just gets on with it.

Whatever you do for the sole purpose of having others admire you, your efforts will most likely be in vain.
I actually admire the Indian artiste ‘Lost Stories.’ He made a remix of my song ‘Faded.’ That is really good and cool because it actually represented Indian music. I just loved the song; it so unique.
Anyone can admire creation. Only a barbarian sees the beauty in demolition.
I’ve been very fortunate, because I’ve been involved in things that very often lead to obscurity. I was in some pictures that were not successful whatsoever. I think people admire persistence. People notice that I’m still there.
I am happy to be the son of the greatest F1 racer of all time. I’m happy that he is the greatest F1 racer of all time, and I admire him for that. And even if sometimes it can be a bit difficult, it is what it is. There are good sides to it, and there are bad sides.
I think it’s much more interesting when people say, “I love being famous. I love the attention and getting laid and having people I respect admire me,” than when they pretend it hasn’t had an effect on them.
I try to write like the writers I admire – I rip them off in form. It comes from George Strait and Merle Haggard records, and country music in general is really good at that, the twisted phrase… So Im always looking for that angle in my own work.
I think, on the whole that scientists make slightly better husbands and fathers than most of us, and I admire them for it.
All men do not, in fine, admire or love the same thing.

I want to be fashion’s Erykah Badu. What I admire about her is her timelessness and her fearless approach.
I have got popularity. BJP workers have given me unmatched love. They admire me so much that I feel humbled.
I really admire stand-up, and I think I would have loved to learn how to do it. I think it’s terrifying and thrilling. A really cool thing to do. It’s a dying art, in a way.
I think that Matt Murdock, the way he kind of holds himself, he’s quite sensible at times, and he’s quite serious. I think he would admire Captain America – not that he wouldn’t admire Iron Man, but I think he probably be a little put off by his grandiosity.
The six people you must find today…

Someone to forgive
Someone to forget
Someone to admire.

I’m the same on stage as I am off stage. A lot of people who I admire – Bruce Springsteen, Jackson Browne – are not that different either. You hope that if you met them that they’d be as nice and well-rounded as they appear.
Behold the hands, how they promise, conjure, appeal, menace, pray, supplicate, refuse, beckon, interrogate, admire, confess, cringe, instruct, command, mock and what not besides, with a variation and multiplication of variation which makes the tongue envious.
I feed on art more than I ever do on photographs. I can admire photography, but I wouldn’t go to it out of hunger.

What I want to do is, I want to put together a nice list of those guys who I really did admire when I was growing up, listening to names like Lord Finesse.
I really admire the experimentalists who challenge traditional narrative – writers like Ishmael Reed, Michael Martone, Donald Barthelme, Tatyana Tolstaya, George Saunders, and many others.
If you admire greatness in another human being, it is your own greatness you are seeing.
I admire Messi: he’s never complained to me in any game we played, but I’ve also never asked him for his jersey and never would. I came to win, not to say I played against Messi.
I really admire people who concern themselves more with how they perceive the world rather than how the world perceives them. I think, as an artist, it’s very important to do that. You can limit yourself a lot if you spend too much time caring about what people think of you.
I admire companies that give back to communities. It is an absolute essential for organizations to watch, mitigate, and improve their impact on the environment, people, communities, their health and overall well-being. But this is a necessary condition, not a sufficient condition.
Friendship doesn’t have anything to do with shoring up weakness. It has to do with respect and consideration for those you care about. It has to do with wanting to give something back to those you admire.

The one who wins all the time is great and powerful, but the one who had been trampled on and fallen is who I admire the most

The actors I admire, like Ben Kingsley or Daniel Day-Lewis, they totally reinvent themselves in every part. I hope I get a chance to do that.

I do not admire politicians; but when they are excellent in their way, one cannot help allowing them their due.

Oscar night is a ridiculous night where you go to these parties and you see everyone that you’ve ever wanted to work with and admire.
When you get praise from someone that you really admire it’s really surreal.
Many of the novelists I admire never left their hometown. Look at Flannery O’Connor. So many of the great Russians never left Russia. Shakespeare never left England. The list goes on.
Remember that you don’t have to like or admire someone to feel compassion for that person. All you have to do is wish for that person to be happy.

If you admire somebody, you should go ahead and tell them. People never get the flowers while they can still smell them.
I love and admire the late actor Farooq Shaikh and his style of speaking.
I think it’s really good and helpful to have the people you most admire in some other discipline than what you work in. It’s too intimidating and derivative to be just totally gobsmacked by someone doing exactly the same thing as you are.
Everybody has the Tupac that they admire. Certain people love the hip-hop person, the rapper. Strictly just the rapper. A lot of people, the newfound Tupac fans… they’re into Death Row-era Tupac. But that was only nine months!
I admire writers such as Elmore Leonard who can nail a character in three or four lines of dialogue, so he doesn’t need pages of back story or clumsy exposition.
People always ask me where they should go to work, and I always tell them to go to work for whom they admire the most.
I admire young people who are concerned with the affairs of their community and nation perhaps because I also became involved in struggle whist I was still at school.
I like to take chances. The actors I admire are the ones who aren’t afraid to make themselves nasty, bad or even goofy. I’ve never shied away from controversial characters.
I’m usually nervous to meet people that I admire because what if they’re not cool or something?
Every writer I admire is my teacher. If you look at it, and if you care to read carefully enough and to read and reread a text, you teach yourself something about craft.
The form of government which you admire, when its principles are pure is admirable indeed. It is productive of every Thing which is great and excellent among men. But its principles are as easily destroyed as human nature is corrupted. Such a government is only to be supported by pure religion or Austere morals.
One of the things I most admire about America is they have created a genuine melting pot society, a country of opportunity; you can be of any religion, colour, ethnicity, persuasion and make it to the top of your chosen field. And that’s something I admire about America and hope they continue with.
your concert-goer, though he feed upon symphony as a lamb upon milk, is no true lover if he play no instrument. Your true lover does more than admire the muse; he sweats a little in her service.
Ditko isn’t a direct influence, but I really admire his work and how his personality always comes through the drawing. There’s a honest and quirky humanity to it, and you always feel the artist behind the comic. That’s really rare.
People admire a screen actor if they have theatre skills, but it’s looked down upon by the industry as being not a ‘real job,’ in the way it isn’t in New York or the U.K.
What we need is more women writers, writing for older women. There are some actresses who have production companies and create their own material, and I truly admire that

I admire people who do things that are interesting to them, who don’t have a strategy or a master plan or have a brand – I don’t care about any of those things.
I used to think that eighty was a very old age. Now I am ninety. I do not think this any more. As long as you are able to admire and to love, you are young.

You may admire a girl’s curves on the first introduction, but the second meeting shows up new angles.

Wit is so shining a quality that everybody admires it; most people aim at it, all people fear it, and few love it unless in themselves. A man must have a good share of wit himself to endure a great share of it in another.
Fear tastes like a rusty knife and do not let her into your house. Courage tastes of blood. Stand up straight. Admire the world. Relish the love of a gentle woman.
I can admire music where you feel the composer has everything organized and perfectly shaped, but it doesn’t touch me. I like to feel that a composer is wounded, like all of us.
Whoe’er has gone thro’ London street, Has seen a butcher gazing at his meat, And how he keeps Gloating upon a sheep’s Or bullock’s personals, as if his own; How he admires his halves And quarters–and his calves, As if in truth upon his own legs grown.
I really admire a woman for her intelligence, her personality. Beauty is not enough.
I greatly admire Justice Thomas. I think he is incredible, and he is very humble. He is rarely heard from. But his spoken word is powerful. He’s an example of everything that is right about this country, just like with Ben Carson.
People who are comfortable in their own skin I admire, but you don’t know what’s really going on. If you meet someone who says they nail being a human, they are as far away from nailing it as a human as you can possibly imagine.
I really admire the great Japanese artists who could change their name three times in a lifetime. You could get rid of one and renew yourself.
Tennyson seems to be the patron saint of the wishy washies, which is perhaps why I admire him so much, not only as a poet, but as a man.
The capacity to admire others is not my most fully developed trait.
The main source of our wealth is goodness. The affections and the generous qualities that God admires in a world full of greed.

In the fun house of today’s metastisizing sports-entertainment megaplex, when every day brings another story revealing how these ‘heroes’ we create are fashioned from base clay, a pause might be in order to reflect on athletes who actually embodied the qualities we think we admire in the too-easily deified.
Even so, I must admire your skill. You are so gracefully insane.
To receive this award from an organization I admire so much makes me totally happy and grateful.

The leaders that the world admires seem almost all to be people who haven’t had things quite so smooth or easy in their lives.
I do not admire ‘the people,’ as such. No one really does. Their folk wisdom is usually false, their instincts predatory. Even their sense of survival – so highly developed in the individual – goes berserk in the mass. A crowd is a fool.
I can only admire people who I have never met and are dead – because you know so much about anyone who is alive.
Harry looked at Bellman. He could not help but admire him. The way you admire a cockroach you flush down the toilet and it comes creeping back again and again and in the end it inherits the world.

Our first visit to the Creature Shop is one of the days I will never, ever forget. There was just so much to see and admire and be gobsmacked by.
Sometimes you have to be a diva. All the artists I admire from Madonna to Whitney to Mariah have all been called divas. If you are strong, if you have vision, if you are an artist, you have to do what you believe in. And if you get called a diva for it, then so what.
Part of what we admire about a painting or a piece of music is the order which the artist has imposed upon what would otherwise have appeared disconnected or chaotic.
I am very excited to be included in the very first college baseball Hall of Fame class. For me to be honored with these coaches and players that I have grown to admire and respect is very special. I’m looking forward to seeing everyone in Lubbock.
Besides, thinking kind thoughts about Valek could be extremely dangerous. I could admire his skills, and be relieved when he was on my side in a fight. But for a rat to like the cat? That scenario ended only one way. With one dead rat.
I admire the ballad form most of all. Stories are irresistible. I’ve always had a passion for stories, the endings being of particular importance.
I think doing research is probably the most valuable thing you can do for any career you’re interested in pursuing, and not just a career on YouTube or in media. Really take a look at people whose careers you admire and learning from their successes, but also their mistakes.
The elegance of a really good screenplay, I admire it. I can’t do it.
Someone’s career that I admire would have to be Justin Timberlake’s because he started off on Disney and he made this huge film career and huge solo music career. I really respect him as an artist.

The person you admire was true to himself. You can only truly honour him by being true to yourself.
I really admire the way the fans have joined me in social justice endeavours and the charitable work that I’ve been involved in. We’ve raised over $100,000 on Twitter for our non-profit in Uganda.

Daniel Day-Lewis – he’s a man, obviously, but I really admire his work.
There are a lot of reporters who I feel are a lot more courageous and fool-hardy than I am. Maybe at the top I’d put Dexter Filkins. He’s an extraordinary man in terms of his nerve and ability to get into dangerous situations and tell the story cogently. He’s bringing back real human stories. I admire that.
The actors I admire always have something to say, or a level of poetry, belief, activism or intelligence about what they do or how they feel.

As an actor, you have to do things out of passion sometimes. I’m not in it for a lot of money. But I only need one car, and I’d rather work with people I really do respect and admire. And if you walk that path, you don’t get written about too much in the tabloids, and I’m good with that.
I grew up in an apartment my whole life. It was just me, my mom, and my brother – she supported us. And we’ve always liked driving through rich neighborhoods, especially around Christmas. We would always admire the wealth. I always had this strange feeling with it.
It feels wonderful to get praise from other authors who I admire, but with each new book, my confidence is always the thing I struggle with the most until I start getting positive feedback from readers.
I would love to be looked at some day – and I’m not ever saying I’m at this level – but I’d love to be mentioned in the same breath as a Bowie or an Eno. Those are the people that I admire artistically, their career trajectory, the integrity throughout their career, the bravery of their career.
When you are young, you admire the people you see on TV and you want to have the same gestures and the same attitudes and behave in the same way. It is a responsibility.
I don’t think there’s any better education than learning the intimate details of the lives of people who you most admire.
Ease is something that I think many admire in other people, in sports or whatever it may be.
Much of appreciating art or music is really the interpretation of the listener. To a certain extent it’s projection – it’s what people need or lack in themselves that they then put upon these people that they admire.

Do what you love and work for whom you admire the most, and you’ve given yourself the best chance in life you can.

I like to be fascinated by the people I photograph. Sometimes I don’t admire them but I’m interested in them.
The people I admire are Tim Buckley and John Martyn – singers that grew into themselves and were honest. John Martyn is one of the great soul singers because soul is not a genre; it’s a feeling.
I’ve heard some designers talk about the design process being centred on invention, starting with a blank slate. I admire that and occasionally I’m capable of that, but I have to admit that I really have trouble working with completely open briefs.

I don’t really get nervous about the people I’ll audition for, especially if it’s people I admire and want to work with: it actually makes me more excited.
I think everyone mentions Bob Dylan, but he’s someone I just admire so much as a songwriter. I think people write songs, and then there’s Bob Dylan songs. He’s one step ahead of just everybody else.
There are so many people with great work ethics that I’ve been around. I try and take the best qualities from the people I admire and apply it to my own self.
Everyone will admire you when you do well. What a horrible thing to do to someone.

I need to end up with someone who is strong, intelligent, independent, someone I really admire – sensitive, sensuous, warm, a sense of humor.
I admire actors that consistently challenge themselves and play a wide range of different roles. Every actor has a reason for being an actor… it’s boring to play the same person over and over again. People like Daniel Day Lewis, who completely transform time and time again, I look up to.
Seek out a person whom you admire and respect for the support you need – that we all need from time to time.
Almost none of the poetries I admire stick to their labels, native or adopted ones. Rather, they are vagrant in their identifications. Tramp poets, there you go, a new label for those with unstable allegiances.
To admire Satan [in Paradise Lost] is to give one’s vote not only for a world of misery, but also for a world of lies and propaganda, of wishful thinking, of incessant autobiography.
Angela Bassett is a friend of mine and someone who I truly admire tremendously in terms of her work and her choices.
What was beauty unless you intended to use it, like a hammer, or a key? It was just something for other people to use and admire, or envy, despise. To nail their dreams onto like a picture hanger on a blank wall. And so many girls saying, use me, dream me.
When you are older, you want to be around people you admire, even in their personal lives.
I just happen to admire everyone that we work with.

There are certainly contemporaries that I admire, like Emily Blunt. I think she is amazing.
My favorite band of all time is The Clash. The thing I love about The Clash is they started out as guys who could barely play three chords. They dabbled in reggae, punk, rap, jazz. They came to a sound that could only be defined as The Clash. It was impossible to say what it was. I admire them for that.
Little by little the look of the country changes because of the men we admire.
When you ask me who I look up to and who I can admire for their style right now, I have to choose from people that represent what I represent stylistically.
I think a lot of us often don’t express how we really feel because we’re afraid of what others might think of us. So we secretly admire people who could care less. They do things that we don’t allow ourselves to do.
As you get older and you hopefully battle your own demons, you find other reasons why you want to be an actor. The people that I truly admire do this because they love telling stories and they love the make-believe of the moment and not so much the gratification afterwards.
I admire Lincoln enormously and I think what’s interesting about Lincoln is how he changes, it’s not that he held the same view throughout his life.
I look at my sons’ little faces, and I want to be their superhero. I don’t want them to have to look outside to a third party for a hero, for someone to look up to and admire. I want that to be ME. I want that person to be MOMMY for them.
Not all civil servants admire strong political leadership. But if you want to change things for the better you need strong political leadership.

All musical talent is absent in me, to the point of being unable to play board games that require you to hum a tune while others guess what it is, since all my humming sounds the same. Musical instruments have always seemed like alien artifacts to me, even as I really admire anyone who can play one.
Let’s stop for a moment to admire the rotating pies.
J. K. Rowling is one of my favourite authors, and I really admire how she created this big wizarding world. But I think our books are very, very different, and I don’t think there can be a next J. K. Rowling. She is one of a kind.

I think there’s a danger that we’re moving towards a state where the people we are expected to admire are almost not human anymore, and I don’t like that. I prefer it when someone looks like a nice person, and you think, ‘I could have a laugh with them in the pub.’
I really admire people who have a natural sense of style. They have a super power.
Whenever I look at the history of presidents I deeply admire – the one thing that I’m always struck by is persistence. It’s a quality that’s underrated. Being able to plough through, being able to stay buoyant in the face of challenges.
Even a pacifist should admire the military virtues.
I’m not one of those actors where filmmakers that I admire ask me to be in their movies. I meet them at parties and they’re nice to me, but they never ask me to work with them.

I love Salma Hayek; we’ve been friends for a really long time. I admire how she has come such a long way and always remained grounded and who she is. She never compromises to follow her vision, and she is loyal. Such qualities only mark the great stars.
The older people that one admires seem to be fearless. They go right out into the world. It’s astounding. Maybe they can’t see or they can’t hear, but they walk out into the street and take life as it comes. They’re models of courage, in a strange way.
The thing that inspires me about Daniel Radcliffe and the thing that I admire the most about him is that he’s had a level of fame thrust upon him that’s relatively unheard of.
Broadcasting for advertisers is still the best game in town, and they know it. Look, I admire a lot of the shows on cable. I think ‘Mad Men’ is wonderful. I think ‘Breaking Bad’ is wonderful. But let’s remember they’re about one-tenth the audience of NCIS.
As much as I hate his movies, Oliver Stone has an aspiration I admire, and that is that he wants his art to be part of what makes and changes public policy and cultural practice.
I don’t have specific people. There are so many people that I admire and there’s directors that I’m desperate to work with that haven’t even made a movie yet, probably.
I love wisdom. And you can never be great at anything unless you love it. Not be in love with it, but love the thing, admire the thing. And it seems that if you love the thing, and you don’t just want to possess it, it will find you. But if you’re in love with the thing, it may run like hell away from you.
There are so many young talented actors today whose work I respect and admire – Ryan Gosling is probably primary among them. I take inspiration from so many amazing actors.
I admire anyone who can show they can dig deep. Ballesteros and Sergio Garcia, people who are obviously mentally strong. Or Graham Thorpe. He is your fighter. He’s the kid who is bullied at school but will stand up in a fight when it matters.
W.S Merwin says “after three days of rain” and I write “After Twelve Days of Rain.” I like his quietude. I admire his ability to be simple without being simplistic.
I did admire the comments and the music of Pete Seeger and Woody Guthrie. And that didn’t fly too well in the Deep South. It was not quite redneck enough.
I admire those that keep Shabbat every week and do not allow anything to interfere with it. It is such a beautiful way to stay connected to friends and family and force yourself to slow down.
I really admire Ana Mendieta. She was a Cuban American artist who died the year I was born and whose work examines violence, feminism, and belonging. Her art is always brave and visually arresting and vibrates with meaning.
The companies that I really admire the most are the ones that have a deep visceral understanding of why people use their service, and they figure out ways of making money that are completely consistent with how people are feeling and what they are doing at the time.
I admire actors for their infinite patience. That’s why they need all those trailers and all their crowd of people who pamper them. But it is a drag to get up sometimes at 4:30 in the morning and get into makeup, and wait forever until they call you onto the set.
The impression forces itself upon one that men measure by false standards, that everyone seeks power, success, riches for himself, and admires others who attain them, while undervaluing the truly precious thing in life.
I’m a slow learner. When people are so talented or facile at picking up an instrument and playing covers, like Yo La Tengo, I admire that. But I could never do that.
Fools admire, but men of sense approve.
We admire people to the extent that we cannot explain what they do, and the word ‘admire’ then means ‘marvel at.’
I never wanted to be well-rounded. I do not admire well-rounded people nor their work. So far as I can see, nothing good in the world has ever been done by well-rounded people. The good work is done by people with jagged, broken edges, because those edges cut things and leave an imprint, a design.
Most poets, like most people, try hard to be like someone they admire or they are possessed with an image of what they ought to be.

The rice grain suffers under the blow of the pestle. But admire its whiteness once the order is over. So it is with men and the world we live in. To be a man one must suffer the blows of misfortune.

A fool always finds a greater fool to admire him.

I had many boxing matches with my brother in the backyard when we were younger, and I guess while other people abhor boxing for its brutality, I also have to admire anyone who climbs into the ring to face up to what could be the ultimate defeat.
I still love it, every day. I get up and I love going to work. I love seeing it all happen, and I admire the people that we work with. I just hope that the films will continue to entertain audiences, as they have done for 50 years.
Humans have a fraught relationship with beasts. They are our companions and our chattel, our family members and our laborers, our household pets and our household pests. We love them and cage them, admire them and abuse them. And, of course, we cook and eat them.

I just admire everybody and sit in awe and watch them.
I’ve seen people with a tremendous amount of educational background in the field not turn out to be terribly good actors, and I’ve seen people with no education in the field turn out to be people that I admire quite a bit.

I admire him, I frankly confess it; and when his time is come I shall buy a piece of the rope for a keepsake.
I do not admire greatness that has no substance.
More significant than the fact that poets write abstrusely, painters paint abstractly, and composers compose unintelligible music is that people should admire what they cannot understand; indeed, admire that which has no meaning or principle.

I admire people who are creative.
I think that, every individual you invent in narrative work, you have to have some root in who that person is. That may be an aspect of yourself; it may be an aspect of something that you like, that you don’t like. It may be an aspect that you wish you had. Maybe something you admire in another person.
I admire Dickens beyond words. He is one of the greatest plotters of all times. Didn’t have a clue about women, but he sure could plot.

Barbra Streisand has always been an inspiration for me. I admire Jennifer Lopez because she’s been against all the odds, and she’s made such a name for herself, and she can put her name on anything and it sells, and I admire that about her, but Barbara Streisand and Woody Allen are my favorites.
If one is to love oneself one must behave in ways that one can admire.

I pretty much admire anybody who has the discipline and the will to make a career out of fighting. It takes buckets of nerve.

I admire Indian cricket because of the way the sport is run there and how the money they earn is invested back into the game and players.

Why do we universally admire and respect a Gandhi, Mandela, Mother Teresa, Lincoln, or any other leader or legend from history’s pantheon? It is because they were guided by integrity-based practices. They stood for something. They didn’t break with the values they believed in just because they faced struggle.
Few know the joys that spring from a disinterested curiosity. It is like a cheerful spirit that leads us through worlds filled with what is true and fair, which we admire and love because it is true and fair.

I admire anyone that follows the road less travelled.
I have always believed in helping people whose work I admire.
I can’t play bridge. I don’t play tennis. All those things that people learn, and I admire, there hasn’t seemed time for. But what there is time for is looking out the window.
I admire machinery as much is any man, and am as thankful to it as any man can be for what it does for us. But it will never be a substitute for the face of a man, with his soul in it, encouraging another man to be brave and true.
When spectators and fans say about drunken brawls, violence, and dog fights, “Well, football players are prone to these things – that’s why we admire them,” they are encouraging terribly detrimental behavior. You might even say – a la Roman gladiators – they are egging on this behavior.
I don’t know that I ‘look up’ to them, but in our predictably partisan media world, I admire journalists who are genuinely nonpartisan and totally fearless in their work – people who have no interest in being invited to the cocktail party. I don’t agree with everything he writes, but Glenn Greenwald comes to mind.
The careers that I admire and actually try to emulate are those of Julianne Moore and Annette Bening. Those women, to me, make amazing choices. They’re sexy, beautiful women, but that doesn’t dictate their choices.

I never want to lie about my age. If I look around at the actresses I admire, they are all women who have not fought growing older, but embraced it and been proud of it – women like Sophia Loren or Audrey Hepburn.
I admire those women who really knew who they were and didn’t apologize for it. Katharine Hepburn? She was ahead of her time.

A farmer’s horse is never lame, never unfit to go. Never throws out curbs, never breaks down before or behind. Like his master he is never showy. He does not paw and prance, and arch his neck, and bid the world admire his beauties…and when he is wanted, he can always do his work.
My greatest influence has and always will be my mother. I admire her strength, fearlessness, and optimism.

It’s a scary thing, when a person you admire is suddenly revealed to be absolutely, truly human.
I admire Kings of Leon. I think their records are amazing. Just from hanging out with them, I can say they’re good guys. It’s cool to see that they get to do what they love. But I think they clearly have an appreciation for where they came from, and it has shaped who they are.
I would not admire hitting against Ryne Duren, because if he ever hit you in the head you might be in the past tense.
On the flip side, no one has any idea who the hell I am. I felt like I had to prove myself to them. On any new project I’m working on, the first week is nerve-wracking, but especially with these people that I admire so much and who I just want to be equal with.
I went to a lot of college camps when I was younger… You just admire those players because they’re at a higher level than you at that time.
I admire anyone who can walk across a stage to the mic and not trip.
What I like about teaching is the discipline of finding words to unpack the artistic process. And I admire the drive in students who want to write, the mystery of how artistic talent unfolds.

The work of Liszt I most admire is the music he wrote toward the end of his life. This is often music of tremendous inventiveness. The music seems to be seeking something. It tends to be restless, unpredictable, often very sad.
