I started playing piano with a little band in high school. I was terrible. I thought I had absolutely no talent. I couldn’t keep time. I only got into McGill, which was a lousy music school, because they were taking American music students.
Burt Bacharach
186
He is a regular guy who absolutely is not attracted to his own celebrity. He’s a jokester, a little rough around the edges, with great heart and compassion; he loves his family. I feel very comfortable with him. I don’t see ‘Denzel Washington Star’; I just see Denzel.
187
I loved doing Judge Doom in ‘Who Framed Roger Rabbit.’ I’m constantly running into people who saw that movie when they were kids, and it absolutely horrified them.
188
Being misunderstood by people whose opinions you value is absolutely the most painful.
189
I felt it absolutely essential that we plant the U.N. flag in Rwanda and plant it in a place of significance to show all the political entities, all the signees of the agreement and the Rwandans… that the international community were here and we’re here to stay and we’re going to be doing our job.
Romeo Dallaire
190
I do Thai boxing Mondays, jujitsu Tuesdays and Thursdays, and Wednesdays I do boxing with Mark – he was a world champion at one point. I absolutely love it. I actually have a punching bag outside in my garden. I’m obsessed with working out. I eat like a pig, so it kind of makes up for that.
191
It’s not easy to say no to work when you have absolutely no work. But I had faith in myself, which kept me going.
Meera Chopra
192
The ‘Vanity Fair’ article was interesting to do because it was the first time I ever really had the opportunity to be absolutely truthful with a reporter about every aspect of my life.
193
I believe in collaboration, which is why I work with others to make positive contributions of consequence, and why I have made a very clear and unwavering commitment to remain absolutely apolitical.
Cliff Curtis
194
Gay marriage is absolutely something that I am in full support of and a big advocate of, and I think it’s an important issue, but there’s a reason that I don’t talk about politics and why I’ll never be in politics. I am not the person to ever do that.
Jamie-Lynn Sigler
195
The amount of surgeries I’ve had are absolutely minimal compared to the reconstructive surgeries I’ve had. Probably 300.
196
If egotism means a terrific interest in one’s self, egotism is absolutely essential to efficient living.
Arnold Bennett
197
There’s absolutely nothing irrational about me; insane, yes, irrational, no. But my dumbest fear would be spinning in the magic tea cups. Who the hell wants to pay to spin around like a bent yoyo for laughs?
198
You may say, ‘Well, dragons don’t exist.’ It’s, like, yes they do – the categorypredator‘ and the category ‘dragon‘ are the same category. It absolutely exists. It’s a superordinate category. It exists absolutely more than anything else. In fact, it really exists.
199
Obviously, I agree with Trump on many of his criticisms of the mainstream media. You can absolutely argue that their failure to report honestly, to get outraged before we could, and to collude with the Clinton campaign directly led to the rise of Trump.
200
Can you love people into truth? Absolutely.
201
I have absolutely no idea what my generation did to enrich our democracy. We dropped the ball. We entered a period of complacency and closed our eyes to the public corruption of our democracy.
202
We continue to advocate and demand that the territorial integrity of both Ukraine and Georgia be preserved… It is absolutely unacceptable that in the 21st century, Russia is shifting borders in Europe by force.
203
To die for a religion is easier than to live it absolutely.
204
Let me be absolutely clear. Israel is a strong friend of Israel’s. It will be a strong friend of Israel’s under a McCain administration. It will be a strong friend of Israel’s under an Obama administration. So that policy is not going to change.
205
As I’ve said, I’ve been advised not to get into the specifics out there. Is there some truth out there? Yes. Is there a lot of falsehood out there? Absolutely.
Jeff Gannon
206
Mercedes does beautiful work, absolutely.
207
There is absolutely, 100 percent, a light at the end of the tunnel for anyone who stutters.
208
Growing up as an Asian American in this society, there were a lot of times where you feel isolated or out of place as an Asian. And growing up in White America, that’s absolutely my experience. And I think that’s why I got into acting because I wanted to be anybody else but Asian.
209
Though I was a mother at 21, being a grandmother makes the whole thing absolutely normal and gorgeous. The relief, the joy of being a grandmother is wonderful.
210
Being, belief and reason are pure relations, which cannot be dealt with absolutely, and are not things but pure scholastic concepts, signs for understanding, not for worshipping, aids to awaken our attention, not to fetter it.
Johann Georg Hamann
211
I think life is difficult and that’s that. I am not at all – absolutely not at all – interested in the pursuit of happiness. I am not interested in the pursuit of positivity. I am interested in pursuing a truth, and the truth often seems to be not happiness but its opposite.
212
There are people who believe in an absolutely transparent prose; with every respect for clarity of expression, I don’t.
John M. Ford
213
Thought is more than a right – it is the very breath of man. Whoever fetters thought attacks man himself. To speak, to write, to publish, are things, so far as the right is concerned, absolutely identical. They are the ever-enlarging circles of intelligence in action; they are the sonorous waves of thought.
214
Not only was it nearly impossible to hear because of these huge rubber ears we had to wear, but we also had these huge furry hands which were absolutely useless, especially if you had to scratch yourself.
215
It is absolutely necessary, for the peace and safety of mankind, that some of earth’s dark, dead corners and unplumbed depths be let alone; lest sleeping abnormalities wake to resurgent life, and blasphemously surviving nightmares squirm and splash out of their black lairs to newer and wider conquests.
216
Fame is sexy. And women are meant to find men who are funny sexy. But not me. Absolutely not me. Clearly I just missed the sexy bit.
217
God is absolutely holy and wise. His nature, attributes, and power are all holy. He is omnipresent, incorporeal, unborn, immense, omniscient, omnipotent, merciful and just. He is the maker, protector, and destroyer of worlds.
218
I would absolutely love to wrestle Sami Zayn because he’s absolutely one of my favorites to watch. I think me and his style would just work. That would definitely be a dream match of mine.
219
I boldly assert, in fact I think I know, that a lot of friendships and connections absolutely depend upon a sort of shared language, or slang. Not necessarily designed to exclude others, this can establish a certain comity and, even after a long absence, re-establish it in a second.
220
We are one of the richest countries in the world, and there is absolutely no reason why anyone should have to live in poverty.

Sure I can sit around and do absolutely nothing for the next nine years and I might survive that long but it’s not going to take New Zealand anywhere.
222
You don’t get on your feet if you don’t have to, you know. And these people were on their feet rockin’, and that was thrilling for David and I, absolutely.
223
I’m a virtuoso in my job in that there’s not an actor I can’t go into a scene with and be absolutely confident that, whatever is required of my character, I can do it.
224
But sometimes in the midst of worry, anxiety and hard work, it has been pretty hard to bear all these false reports going about the country – to see my friends alienated and being made to believe things that were absolutely false.
John Harvey Kellogg
225
When I’m told absolutely no, it’s a definite maybe.
226

D. W. Griffith
227
During a visit to California, when a friend of my grandmother’s told my parents that I must be deaf because I was not responding to sounds, my father was absolutely convinced that I was simply being stubborn.

Ralph Cudworth
232
When you’re starting a company, almost anything that can go wrong will go wrong, and it will probably look like and feel like you made the absolute wrong decision to start the company. If you’re not absolutely determined to solve a problem or see something through, it might not make sense to keep going.
233
I’ve said it before, but it’s absolutely true: My mother gave me my drive, but my father gave me my dreams. Thanks to him, I could see a future.
234
Human beings, you see, do absolutely two primary things. We see like and unlike. Like becomes, in literature, simile and metaphor. Unlike becomes uniqueness and difference, from which I believe, the novel is born.
235
One of the reasons I do like ‘Cult’ is that it plays along the same vibe as the movie ‘Seven,’ which I absolutely love. There was a period of cinema in the mid-’90s that I was a huge fan of, with ‘Heat’ and ‘Seven’ and the Tarantino era. If I’ve ever been fanatical, it was about those films, back in the day.
Matthew Davis
236
I do believe in living out your own time, unless it’s absolutely impossible, which it is for some people.
Alan Bates
237
When I test I never go right to the limit. Only because when you are below the limit you can go at the same speed all day, and that’s the only way you can be absolutely sure about what you are testing.
238
Moreover, as the leadership of the House confirmed last year, the Administration remains opposed to a congressional resolution on the Armenian Genocide due to Turkish objections. This approach sends absolutely the wrong signal to Turkey and to the rest of the world.
239
From the viewpoint of political power, culture is absolutely vital. So vital, indeed, that power cannot operate without it. It is culture, in the sense of the everyday habits and beliefs of a people, which beds power down, makes it appear natural and inevitable, turns it into spontaneous reflex and response.
240
I have absolutely no empathy for camels. I didn’t care for being abused in the Middle East by those horrible, horrible, horrible creatures. They don’t like people. It’s not at all like the relationship between horses and humans.
241
I wish that every player could feel what I’ve felt in visiting ballparks. The receptions I’ve received, it’s blown me away. It’s absolutely remarkable.
242
My own mentality is that I’ve retired. They send me these scripts and if I absolutely have to do it, then I go to work.
243
If black lives matter, then why is it that black women are more than five times as likely as a white woman to have an abortion? I think the womb that brings forth the black life should matter… Because black lives absolutely matter, what about the babies in that womb? What about that mama?
244
Acting and the industry of making movies is beautiful, but it’s so exhausting and such hard work; if you don’t absolutely 100% want to do something, it defeats the purpose.
245
We all know growth is absolutely vital to a free society. No one should want Australia to be a stag-nation: a nation with a stagnant economy and stagnant aspirations.

247
There is absolutely no Wuxia or martial arts in ‘Red Cliff.’ I want all the action to look realistic.
John Woo

249
Prince William is absolutely adorable.
250
If you’ve done a bit of journalism, everyone assumes you must be moving into PR. We’re absolutely not becoming a PR agency and we’re not turning into Brunswick. We will remain SRU, but we will be owned by the Brunswick Group. It’s quite different.
251
My advice to the average investor in 1988 is to be patient and think long-term. It will take 18 months for confidence to get better and, in the meantime, this is absolutely no place for short-term money.
252
Here’s a thing that’s going to drive me absolutely crazy: the trucks! They can put people on the moon, but they can’t make a quiet truck!
253
What is thematically posited is only what is given, by pure reflection, with all its immanent essential moments absolutely as it is given to pure reflection.
Edmund Husserl
254
Sex is like washing your face – just something you do because you have to. Sex without love is absolutely ridiculous. Sex follows love, it never precedes it.
255
And of course, I absolutely loved making Lost in Space as a kid.
256
Celebrity is absolutely preposterous. Entertainment seems to be inflating. It used to be the punctuation to your life, a film or a novel or a play, a way of celebrating a good week or month. Now it feels as if it’s all punctuation.
257
But you are absolutely right that when the international community decides to help in a meaningful manner a country like Afghanistan, then coordination between the various actors that are involved in these processes is very, very difficult indeed.
258
I am just absolutely convinced that the best formula for giving us peace and preserving the American way of life is freedom, limited government, and minding our own business overseas.
259
Parents fear for their children. Absolutely, I think it’s a deep and troubling theme to explore.
260
I was quite the spoiled brat. I have quite a temper, obviously inherited from my father, and I became very good at ordering everyone around. I was the princess; the staff were absolutely terrified of me.
261
Religion is absolutely unfathomable. Always and everywhere one can dig more deeply into infinities.
262
The truth is, I have absolutely no professional credentialsliterally, which is why I’m teaching at MIT.
263

264
I absolutely realize that a celebrity spokesperson is not ideal.
265
Feeling sorry for ourselves is the most useless waste of energy on the planet. It does absolutely no good. We can’t let our circumstances or what others do or don’t do control us. We can decide to be happy regardless.
266
There is absolutely no room for discrimination against anyone in our country or anywhere in world.
267
Nowhere, absolutely nowhere, has there ever been a hint, not even a whisper, that a Black person was involved in the assassination of the president. But that’s the kind of thing you have in this movie.
268
Thus passing through the infinite varieties of space we reach the Divine space which is absolutely free from all dimensions and constitutes the meeting point of all infinities.
269
I go up to San Francisco on holidays and spend time with my family there, but whenever I go to Japan, I enjoy every moment. I try to go back there every year or so. It’s a phenomenal place, and I absolutely love it. It’s not my second home; it is my home. Whenever I go back, I feel very connected with Japan.
Ryan Potter
270
I absolutely always buy in a bigger size. This is true for coats and also sweaters – I always take a bigger size because I think it looks far more chic if it’s loose-fitted rather than tight.
271
In my conscience, I believe that my heart has been so oft on fire that it is absolutely vitrified.
Robert Burns
272
I wish to clarify that I have absolutely not made a decision regarding my participation in the next Olympics. On a personal level, playing in the Olympics would be a huge honour. However, the Games in Rio are still four years away and I certainly won’t be making any decisions with regards to participating any time soon.
273
I would like to make it known, on this program, loud and clear, that I would absolutely embrace with all five of my arms being a Bond villain.

276
My signature dish – something I’ve been making since I was 10 – is angel hair pasta with shrimp and feta in a white-wine basil sauce with tomatoes, because it’s absolutely amazing.
277
Do not learn more than you absolutely need to get through life.
278
The most important thing for having a party is that the hostess is having fun. I’m very organized. I make a plan for absolutely everything. I never have anything that has to be cooked while the guests are there. The only thing I might have to do is take something out of the oven and carve it.
279
When I died my hair red the first time, I felt as if it was what nature intended. I have been accused of being a bit of a spitfire, so in that way, I absolutely live up to the stereotype. The red hair suits my personality. I was a terrible blonde!
280
All new states are invested, more or less, by a class of noisy, second-rate men who are always in favor of rash and extreme measures, but Texas was absolutely overrun by such men.
281
I love when I go to conventions, and often it’ll be the younger kids who will refer to us by our character names – how can you not find that absolutely charming? I remember when I used to go to conventions when I was a kid when I would stand in long lines to get people’s autograph.
282
You can be curvy and still be absolutely flawless.
283
As comedians, we are all laughing because life is so horrible. Life is so difficult, and I cope with it by making jokes about absolutely everything.

I believe that the first 8 years are most important and the time in a child’s life when parents must be absolutely and completely present.
285
My first car was a 1976 Toyota Corolla Liftback in red, like the one in ‘The Blues Brothers.’ I painted a Union Jack on the roof. I was absolutely in love with it until I destroyed it, which broke my heart!
Richard Hammond
286
I saw some musicals at dinner theaters where I grew up. But I didn’t go to a big theater to see one until probably after I graduated from high school when I took myself to see ‘Tommy‘ when it was on tour. I absolutely loved it.
287
Within the pages of The Betrayal of America I prove that these justices were absolutely up to no good, and they deliberately set out to hand the election to George Bush.
288
To me, involvement with news is absolutely inebriating. It’s what makes my life exciting.
289
I’ve always liked fairy tale and spectacle. I wouldn’t say I was a fantasy fan, but anything beyond reality I’ve always found exciting – the work of David Lynch, the work of Tim Burton. But for me, I also love those things that are absolutely about human relationships.
290
I could easily escape to a hotel for a weekend and do absolutely nothing.
291
The New Zealand culture and nature is such that we find it very difficult to celebrate creative achievement. In order to get New Zealanders’ respect you have to dominate the world like Peter Jackson has done. He is absolutely revered.
292
Performing, I can take it or leave it. Horticulture is far more challenging. I’m absolutely fascinated by it.
Kim Wilde
293
You’re in a profession in which absolutely everybody is telling you their opinion, which is different. That’s one of the reasons George Lucas never directed again.
294
It would absolutely suck if you paid a few bucks for a book only to find that on the first page it said, ‘Once upon a time they all lived happily ever after‘ and the rest of the book was blank.
Simon Travaglia
295
The great thing about making picture books is that you can make absolutely anything you want happen. It’s a bit like making a film, but you don’t need lots of money for actors and costumes – you just need pens, paper, and your imagination.
Mini Grey
296
The only thing I have never known is true intimacy with a man. I absolutely wanted to discover that before dying.
297
I always said to myself when I first started wrestling that I was gonna put absolutely everything into it – into becoming the absolute best pro wrestling that I could be.
298
They view massive immigration as a massive infusion of potential voters for the Democratic Party, and therefore will do nothing, absolutely nothing to stop that flow of legal or illegal entrance into the country.
299
It is absolutely impossible to settle the debts to pensioners, teachers, and others. The country hasn’t got enough money to do so.
300
We absolutely take no decisions based on the share price, not for LVMH.
301
Online is such a brilliant, brilliant way to connect with young readers – even if they just want to tweet, ‘Hey, I read your book!’ – that, absolutely, I connect with that. But I also treat writing as solitary and keep it to myself as long as I can.
302
Comedy is the one absolutely self-aware art form. Actually, hip-hop’s another one, I suppose. Because in your songs you’re talking about how good a hip-hop artist you are. It’s like a painter painting a panting of himself painting a painting.
303
My point was very simple, and it was that it is absolutely absurd for the United States of America to continue to urge us further down the line towards a federal superstate when the U.S. has not even signed up to the U.N. Convention on Human Rights.
304
There are absolutely no problems that had anything to do with Jeff’s departure.
305
I thought his performance was absolutely wonderful and had said so, but he seemed, as actors quite often are when they first see something, to be disappointed. I think he expected more from the film and himself.
John Schlesinger
306
I don’t worry about the last shot or the next shot. I concentrate. Every shot gets a clean slate. And when a shot is over, I wipe it out absolutely. Tell a joke or something. If you worry about how you looked, how well you did, you’ll go insane.
307
I don’t actually subscribe to the view that all power corrupts. But absolute power – when secured on the back of massive parliamentary majorities, which don’t reflect the balance of political opinion in the country – can corrupt absolutely.
308
Basing my conclusions on experience I am absolutely convinced not only of survival but of demonstrated survival, demonstrated by occasional interaction with matter in such a way as to produce physical results.
Oliver Joseph Lodge
309

If you have a burning ambition and desire, absolutely anything can be achieved.
311

312
I would like to see a mandate for social and emotional learning absolutely mandated in every state.
313
Women’s art, political art – those categorisations perpetuate a certain kind of marginality which I’m resistant to. But I absolutely define myself as a feminist.
314
And it’s absolutely true that male sexual behaviour and female responses to male demands change a lot when they start communicating – and the levels of the communication that I’ve seen on the ground in very, very poor areas are so high and I think why don’t we have that here?
315
You have to be careful what you say in front of comedy writers because they will absolutely make fun of it in the next episode.

316
I was born in Poland I came to Sweden when I was eight and always wanted to act and suddenly ended up in a Bond movie which was for me at that time absolutely enormous.
Izabella Scorupco
317
Do I wish I had never endured postpartum depression? Absolutely. But to deny the experience is to deny who I am.
318
Love before marriage is absolutely necessary.
319
Can fiction teach us? Absolutely. Fiction has the power to illustrate place, era, and atmosphere in vivid detail. But it is not Anthropology for Dummies.
320
The story I am writing exists, written in absolutely perfect fashion, some place, in the air. All I must do is find it, and copy it.
Jules Renard
321
There will be very few occasions when you are absolutely certain about anything. You will consistently be called upon to make decisions with limited information. That being the case, your goal should not be to eliminate uncertainty. Instead, you must develop the art of being clear in the face of uncertainty.
322
If it were possible to have a life absolutely free from every feeling of sin, what a terrifying vacuum it would be.
Cesare Pavese
323
I believe I have voted for both Democrats and Republicans. Am I either one? Absolutely not. Ladies and gentlemen, I am an American.
324
Vision gets the dreams started. Dreaming employs your God-given imagination to reinforce the vision. Both are part of something I believe is absolutely necessary to building the life of a champion, a winner, a person of high character who is consistently at the top of whatever game he or she is in.
325
There was absolutely no intention of splitting up. We had so many great ideas to use on the new album. John Paul Jones was incredible, coming to the studio each day with new instruments to play.
John Bonham
326
I can see through almost any scam, especially one perpetrated by the federal government. I can see through it… they can’t pull the wool over my eyes, it’s absolutely freakin’ impossible to pull the wool over my eyes about the government.
Gary Coleman
327
Life would have been absolutely empty without imagination.
Jack Williamson
328
They had absolutely no sexual interest in me.
329
But I do know this: that the two and a half years that I’ve been at HUD, I am absolutely convinced that some of the best workers in the world are in Federal Government.
330
The lyrics are a lot about those big questions: why are we here, how did we get here, what’s the point, and what’s next. When those questions come up with fans, I would absolutely share with them what has helped me and where I stand on what it is that I believe.
331
Yes, it’s absolutely true that anything worth doing is worth doing poorly – until you can learn to do it well.
332
I respond well to what I read of Immanuel Kant‘s idea that the world as we see it is absolutely a function of the way our brain works. In the modern parlance, it’s an evolved machine that we carry with us.
Bernard Beckett
333
The happiest people in the world are those who feel absolutely terrific about themselves, and this is the natural outgrowth of accepting total responsibility for every part of their life.
334
I don’t think I’ve ever tried to make something happen that I’ve absolutely had to force. You know how they say: if you can’t avoid it, enjoy it. For me, it’s the other way around: if I can’t enjoy it, I avoid it.
335
That was the whole point in forming a band. Girls. Absolutely gorgeous girls.
Simon Le Bon
336
But if we begin thinking about the world being over 100 million years old, then it’s absolutely by chance that you and I are sitting here alive today, while all the others are dead or have never been born.
337
I have absolutely no preferences when it comes to food.
338
My children have absolutely no interest in my fame. They’re very sophisticated, and they have a spiritual perspective on material things because we go to church.
339
My decision to leave ‘Ween’, however interpreted, was absolutely not made in haste.
Gene Ween
340
AIDS is an absolutely tragic disease. The argument about AIDS’ being some kind of divine retribution is crap.
341
Well, you have absolutely no idea what a nightmare it was to be on a set, trying to figure out how I was going to find out what time it is, how I was going to get my meds, and at the same time not have it be obvious to someone.
Michael Jeter
342
I said, look, do you think you could bring Gerry through, and they said yeah, absolutely, they thought that. Joel was very keen to cast him. If all my music team were happy, I was happy.
343
Vampirism is like celebrity now. Vampires are these eternally young, thin, sexy apparitions of perpetual nightlife and absolutely nothing like their folkloric European boogeyman predecessors. We don’t even make our vampires sleep in coffins anymore, or the ground.
Adam Rex
344
When I was nominated for the Oscar, I was absolutely positive that Judy Garland would win for ‘Judgment at Nuremberg,’ and then they call my name, and I was absolutely paralyzed. And I remember walking down to the stage and saying to myself, ‘Don’t run. It’s not dignified.’
345
Whence it follows that God is absolutely perfect, since perfection is nothing but magnitude of positive reality, in the strict sense, setting aside the limits or bounds in things which are limited.
Gottfried Leibniz
346
There’s a way in which these guys all think absolutely media, day and night. Access is what it’s all about, so they spin 24 hours a day and that’s a problem.
347
Think tanks do have points of view, and they are absolutely entitled to defend them.
348
Our aims are absolutely clear: They are a high living standard in the country and a secure, free and comfortable life.
Vladimir Putin
349
I feel like the theme song to ‘Duck Tales.’ ‘Life is like a hurricane; it’s a duck blur.’ That’s absolutely what it is.
350
Universal was absolutely marvelous about sitting down with me and listening to my input. It wasn’t something where they chose a bunch of songs that were best sellers. They did a marvelous job on the packaging. It’s a beautiful tribute.
Rita Coolidge
351
Women have to harness their power – its absolutely true. It’s just learning not to take the first no. And if you can’t go straight ahead, you go around the corner.
352
People in general romanticize nature, and they make it out to be something that it isn’t because humans are so awful. And yes, we are absolutely screwing up this planet, but that is only because we have the capabilities to do so. Animals are not better than us. They are not nicer than us.
353
Joe Mauer’s the real deal. He is absolutely wonderful. Not only is he a great player, but he’s a great human being. He’s the kind of guy you’d like to see… be your son.
354
Dollar bills have absolutely no value except in our collective imagination, but everybody believes in the dollar bill.
355
I have absolutely no political ambitions.
356

I get sent lots of jewellery by fans, and that’s absolutely lovely.

Henry Van Dyke

Married life is absolutely brilliant.
375

There is no work of art that has ever been made that is absolutely truthful about life.
Richard Foreman

390

I’ve known for years that the university underserved the community, because we assumed that university education is for 18- to 22-year-olds, which is a proposition that’s so absurd it is absolutely mind-boggling that anyone ever conceptualized it. Why wouldn’t you take university courses throughout your entire life?

Joseph Gatt
405

Everything I commission – whether it is for me or for a client‘s home or for a hotel or office – is absolutely unique to that job. I have everything made, or I find vintage and antique pieces at markets and auctions.

419
We experience moments absolutely free from worry. These brief respites are called panic.
Cullen Hightower
420
I’m in this absolutely gorgeous manor house with acres of quite beautiful countryside. I’ve got trout in the river, an organic vegetable garden, I’ve got my work 40 yards from my home.

428

Jamelia

444
I absolutely do not divide people into any religions, creeds, political views.

449
I have absolutely no intention of marrying Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis.
450

452

I have absolutely no plans and no expectations of ever being a candidate again.
470

474
You know, everyone is always talking about plastic surgery, or the technology, what to do.

Dean Winters
483

496
Before I became a writer, I was running a jazz bar in the center of Tokyo, which means that I worked in filthy air all the time late into the night. I was very excited when I started making a living out of my writing, and I decided, ‘I will live in nothing but an absolutely healthy way.’

Selling a book or story has never become absolutely automatic for me.

503
Does it feel good to stand on my stage with 500-pound tigers and everybody envy you? Absolutely.
Joe Exotic
504
Obama might as well be president of Turkey or Brazil; it does not matter. It’s the system that is absolutely flawed, where 25 or 35 or 50 people make multi, multi-billions on building Olympic structures while people live in Barbados and have no roads or clean drinking water. There’s something pretty inequitable there.
505
Ueli Steck, I’m absolutely certain, had a very strong inner drive to keep pushing. He set very high standards for himself.
506
I want people to know where I come from. I think I have come really far from that, and I did it on my own.

I hope I’m making Jersey proud in that way.
507
I’ve actually changed my view of Los Angeles. When I was younger, I hated it, because I thought it was fake and superficial. As I’ve gotten older, I’ve found that to be absolutely true, but I don’t care.

Rafael Correa
511
I’m an absolutely normal guy.
512
You are only an actor if you absolutely love it and can not do anything else. Starving for your art is great in your 20s, but it’s not so great at 35. It has to be absolute love. You can’t worry about being a movie star or anything else. Just love. That’s it.
James Avery
513

526
We live with incessant music, all the time. It’s like some weird musical purgatory, there is absolutely no rest for the ears, no space to absorb and reflect.
James Blake
527

528
If people want to believe that the organic food has better nutritive value, it’s up to them to make that foolish decision. But there’s absolutely no research that shows that organic foods provide better nutrition.

Along with some of my college friends, I would often bunk classes and drive to Murthal, which is about 50 km from New Delhi, just to have some piping hot parathas. There was this small roadside dhaba where they would serve absolutely delicious aloo parathas with dollops of butter.
536

John Harvey Kellogg
541
Don’t let anyone tell you what you ought to like… Some wines that some experts think are absolutely exquisite don’t appeal to me at all.
542
I have to struggle to change people’s perceptions of me. I grew very frustrated with the perception that I’m this shy, retiring, inhibited aristocratic creature when I’m absolutely not like that at all. I think I’m much more outgoing and exuberant than my image.

Memory and poetry go together, absolutely. It is a matter of preserving and of remembering things.
Lisel Mueller
544

545
California is a queer place in a way, it has turned its back on the world, and looks into the void Pacific. It is absolutely selfish, very empty, but not false, and at least, not full of false effort.
546
I am absolutely opposed to a national ID card. This is a total contradiction of what a free society is all about. The purpose of government is to protect the secrecy and the privacy of all individuals, not the secrecy of government. We don’t need a national ID card.
547
Kinsey himself collected absolutely everything.
548
I loved Japan. I used to read a lot about it when I was a child. And I always wanted to go. And it was delightful. I absolutely loved it. What a smashing place.
549
I don’t think there’s anything they can say about me that I haven’t said about myself already. And I would be an absolute total liar, and my fans would not respect me, if I said that my life and my marriage are perfect. But we absolutely love each other; we have fun together – it’s great.
550
Remember we’re all human and we all have our good days and bad days and days when we feel banging and other days when we feel absolutely rotten and that’s ok.
Jesy Nelson
551
I absolutely love Scotland. I’m always happy there.
552
When you read about the lives of other people, people of different circumstances or similar circumstances, you are part of their lives for that moment. You inhabit their lives, and you feel what they’re feeling, and that is compassion. If we see that reading does allow us that, we see how absolutely essential reading is.
553

554
I was going out for absolutely everything that was in Backstage.

Now I would say I’m absolutely a feminist writer.
557
I absolutely love spending time with my family.
Kevin Alejandro
558

563
As a young man, every bone in my body wanted to pick up a machine gun and kill Germans. And yet I had absolutely no reason to do so. Certainly nobody invited me to do the job. But that’s what I felt that I was trained to do. Now no part of my upbringing was militaristic.
564
Vertigo, it was thought at the time, could only be caused by a disease of the cerebellum. He observed this kind of patient for years and saw absolutely no symptoms of brain disease.
Robert Barany
565
Just for the record, I personally do agree with some of the sentiments of Rabbi Meir Kahane. I think he was right about certain things, wrong about other things, but I have absolutely nothing, no association whatsoever with Kahane Chai leaders.
Aaron Klein
566
Science sent the Hubble telescope out into space, so it could capture light and the absence thereof, from the very beginning of time. And the telescope really did that. So now we know that there was once absolutely nothing, such a perfect nothing that there wasn’t even nothing or once.
567
There is absolutely no inevitability as long as there is the willingness to think.
568
I’ll give you my answer calmly and sensibly, my final answer. My final answer is finally no. The answer is no! Absolutely and finally no! Finally and positively no! No! No! No! N – O!
Abraham Polonsky
569
I never minded being thought of as a pop star. People have always thought I wanted to be seen as a serious musician, but I didn’t, I just wanted people to know that I was absolutely serious about pop music.
570
I’m very unpredictable. Very, very impulsive. Extremely. Absolutely! Sometimes I don’t know what I want to do from one day to the next. I can’t enjoy anything premeditated; I just do it as I feel it. But whatever I do is motivated by honesty.
Sharon Tate
571
I believe that a healthy body breeds a healthy mind. I am 74 years old now and my wife, Niso, is 38 years younger than me. She absolutely insists that I take regular exercise with her.
572
I absolutely adore baking with my nieces and nephews. It’s super fun, and I love baking by myself, so what I like to do is have a cabinet for my baking essentials.

Poppy Z. Brite
574
Absolutely. I can produce. I can write. I can direct.
575
Blackpool is absolutely huge in Strictly but when you come from South Africa and you have your first impressions and you arrive in Blackpool, well it’s different. It’s different let’s put it that way. But what I’ll also say, if you walk into the ballroom it’s absolutely spectacular.
576
The Italians, who used to be a great motor-manufacturing power, have been absolutely destroyed by the euro – as was intended by the Germans.
577
I was spoiled in a very strange way as a child, because everybody told me, from the moment I was able to hear, that I was absolutely marvelous, and I never heard a discouraging word for years, you see. I didn’t know what was ahead of me.
578
I never thought I’d get to the point where I’d be able to release a proper album, and I absolutely never thought that when I did, I would give it a name as stupid I have, but here we are.

583
I absolutely adored Wuthering Heights and fell in love with Heathcliff as most girls do.

584

Charlie Ergen
585
You know, the environment is fragmenting, and the environment is, in many places, absolutely hideous!

588
The arms business is an absolutely acceptable business.
589
I’m absolutely convinced that the threat we face now, the idea of a terrorist in the middle of one of our cities with a nuclear weapon, is very real and that we have to use extraordinary measures to deal with it.
590
I’m terrible with money, absolutely awful. I’m always losing it.
591
TV industry pays us as much as the leading guy or probably more. All our shows are women-oriented, and all the TV actresses are getting paid well. There is absolutely no discrimination over here.
592
My favorite singer to this day is Nat King Cole. I’ve tried to emulate his phrasing. It is so absolutely beautiful to listen to his lovely voice.

As far as the filmmaking process is concerned, stars are essentially worthless – and absolutely essential.
William Goldman
594
I had a paint pony called Half-Pint, and I rode her in Madison Square Garden, and that was my first big show. But my first real pony was this red pony called Chantal. He was absolutely amazing.

Jessica Springsteen
595
There is absolutely no one, apart from yourself, who can prevent you, in the middle of the night, from sneaking down to tidy up the edges of that hunk of cheese at the back of the fridge.
596

597
We’re waiting for the pendulum to swing back again, which I am absolutely confident it will.

603

Betty Williams
604
There are only two kinds of people who are really fascinating – people who know absolutely everything, and people who know absolutely nothing.
605

606
I take it extremely seriously to do absolutely the best work possible and the truest work possible, because I feel like that is what’s going to resonate not only for myself but hopefully for an audience.
607
Just as most of us prefer to watch a trapeze artist work without a net, we like to be absolutely sure that a virtuoso is giving us our money’s worth, and a seemingly effortless performance, no matter how spectacular it may be, deprives us of that slightly sadistic thrill.
608
The world absolutely needs your voice.
609
Until four years ago, in fact, I was absolutely in love with the atom.
610

Della Reese
612
I wasn’t absolutely too sure where the Falklands was, and I didn’t want to make a bloody fool of myself.
Denis Thatcher
613
I have absolutely no rituals or routines other than I work obsessively and think constantly about my work, to the dismay and discomfort of everyone I employ. And my family.

615

617
You can’t really rely on a couple of athletes to deliver you medals in five consecutive Olympic Games. It’s absolutely unrealistic. You have to have a system in place where you continue to increase the depth of the sport which pushes performance levels to higher standards.
618
Whether it be Beyonce or Justin Bieber, we see singers who have absolutely nothing to offer anyone as they walk off stage clutching three Grammys in each hand.

620
Do we care about gaming? We absolutely care.
621
Maybe I’ve got to admit that what I did here was enough. I can make some more films. Maybe I’ll direct a film. Maybe I’ll have my musical put on stage. But nothing, really, to be absolutely honest, competes with making a very successful pop band for 10 years of my life.
622
Feminism is dead. The movement is absolutely dead. The women’s movement tried to suppress dissident voices for way too long. There’s no room for dissent.

I never, absolutely never, keep people waiting.
Graham Kennedy
624
My nervous system is a shattered wreck, and I am absolutely bored and listless save when I come upon something which peculiarly interests me.
625
If I could live in New York the rest of my life, I absolutely would, but it’s also prohibitively expensive and you have to be working. New York is a lot nicer when you have a job.
Samantha Bee
626
It’s absolutely right that we scrutinise the leaders who after all are going to be in a position of great power.
627
I think violence against women in America has become ordinary – it’s been made absolutely acceptable.
628
I almost never set out to photograph a landscape, nor do I think of my camera as a means of recording a mountain or an animal unless I absolutely need a ‘record shot’. My first thought is always of light.
629
There is nothing – absolutely nothing – half so much worth doing as simply messing about in boats.
Kenneth Grahame
630
Vladimir Nabokov said the two great evils of the 20th century were Marx and Freud. He was absolutely correct.
631
A business absolutely devoted to service will have only one worry about profits. They will be embarrassingly large.

633
What a delightful thing is the conversation of specialists! One understands absolutely nothing and it’s charming.
Edgar Degas

635
I am absolutely against any violence.
636
The first thing you have to get used to in any kind of acting is the ability to make a fool of yourself. If you haven’t learnt how to make a fool of yourself, you shouldn’t be on the boards. That’s absolutely what it’s all about.
637
I can write absolutely anywhere. All I need is a laptop.
638
Yeah, there’s absolutely. I mean, remember when The Searchers came out, it was a relatively big hit for a Western, and I think it made 5 million bucks – I don’t even think it made that.
John Milius
639
I am absolutely my own biggest critic.
640

641
Agent Mom’ is a perfect opportunity for me to do what I love… develop characters, act and take incredible stories to my fans. So yes, I can absolutely see myself cast as ‘Agent Mom.’
Alaina Huffman
642
I feel the same way about Shondaland I feel about Africa and Greece. I feel pretty in both places. Men look at me like I’m a novelty, and women think I’m just cool. I feel absolutely at home immediately. I’m not altering myself to fit in. I’m walking in just as I am. And there are open arms stretched out to greet me.
643
As with real families, my fictional family on ‘Life Goes On‘ had its ups and downs, and as part of the fictional downers, the actors were often called to cry on cue. This absolutely terrified me, because I was a pretty happy kid who didn’t have much to cry about.
644
When I came for the first time to the United States, visiting, I was absolutely fascinated by New York.
645
Zinedine Zidane, he was absolutely fantastic.
646
It’s absolutely stupid that we live without an ozone layer. We have men, we’ve got rockets, we’ve got saran wrap – fix it!
647
Let women issue a declaration of independence sexually, and absolutely refuse to cohabit with men until they are acknowledged as equals in everything, and the victory would be won in a single week.
648
But find something that you absolutely love doing. And then get to love the way you do it. That’s the uniqueness of all of us. That’s it.
Al Lewis
649
I’ve got absolutely no intention of ever going to play at another club.
650
One thing ‘The Very Best of WCW ‘Monday Nitro” really captures, which I remember very well about WCW, was how absolutely electric the crowds were.
651
In college, there never really was an offseason. The season would end, you’d get a week break, and then the hardest time of the year would start. Winter workouts in college were absolutely miserable.
652
I could eat absolutely whatever I want, whenever I want and I won’t really gain any weight. I’m going to be 25 in March, and I’ve never weighed over about 64 pounds in my entire life.
653
I would absolutely classify as being incredibly progressive the fact that I am the third female prime minister.
654
People think I’m crazy and reckless but I’m absolutely not… I’m soooo safe and soooo careful and I won’t do anything that feels like I could break something.
655
Cap the well, yes. Clear up the mess, yes. Make compensation – yes, absolutely. But would it be right to have legislation that independently targets BP rather than other companies? I don’t think that – would be right.
