The girls are a complete joy and I love their passion. They argue with me like mad and I love that too. – Bob Geldof
My father, Abe, was a small businessman. For 32 years, he ran an exterminating company. That may explain why our family always associated the smell of roach spray with love. – Chuck Schumer
I don’t think writers really choose their subjects. I think the subjects, the topics, the themes, choose us, and then we make the most of what we have. For Trollope, society; for Roth, Jews. For me, apparently, love. Why hide it? – Amy Bloom
I love going to the beach in the tropics and doing whatever I do – surfing, swimming or being – and the glow when I get a tan that deepens. I walk around with red and gold in my skin and feel like the most beautiful thing on the planet! – Anika Noni Rose
I do love live performing, but I’m not a stand-up naturally, and I don’t like the lifestyle of working just in the evenings at clubs and stuff – not a natural gig-er. – Amy Hoggart
You can never betray the people who are dead, so you go on being a public Jew; the dead can’t answer slurs, but I’m here. I would love to think that Jesus wants me for a sunbeam, but he doesn’t. – Anita Brookner
My father played baseball. That’s what I know to do. That’s my gift. God has given me the greatest gift. And that’s what I love to do. – Alex Rodriguez
I’m very happy to have set a world record in Tallinn. Estonians sure do love athletics and combined events! – Ashton Eaton
I find myself enjoying a deeper love than I ever imagined was possible in the form of my daughter and certainly in the union with my wife. It makes everything else, including work, which is one of the things I’m most passionate about, pale by comparison. – Benjamin Bratt
I love fiction that sounds like fact. As a matter of fact, I also like fact that sounds like fiction. – Ashwin Sanghi
I used to love to untangle chains when I was a child. I had thin, busy fingers, and I never gave up. Perhaps there was a psychiatric component to my concentration but like much of my psychic damage, this worked to everyone’s advantage. – Anne Lamott
I’m really not that funny in real life! But I am the best audience one could find. I love to laugh. – Carol Burnett
My fantasy breakfast is just a really good egg scramble. Maybe I’ll add a little feta, so, uh, obviously not totally dairy-free. Definitely some vegetables, maybe some really nice tortillas; something to make it like a Mexican-style breakfast. I just really love breakfast. – Alex Honnold
I love to simplify and edit the contents of just about anything, but women’s closets hold particular appeal to me. I edit mine about four times a year and hold a yearly ‘clothing swap’ to encourage my girlfriends to do the same. – Autumn Reeser
I love sitting through long things. I mean, ‘Gone With the Wind’ I will sit through; I love sitting somewhere for four hours, for anything. I love being on a train. I love sitting down for four hours. I think it’s the most wonderful thing to be able to sit somewhere and concentrate on something for more than two hours. – Andre Leon Talley
I just believe that our most redeeming feature as a species is our capacity for love. – Amanda McBroom
When I got into all the grunge stuff, I really liked Hole. I actually saw them in concert when I was a sophomore in high school. It was kind of rare to see a successful female rocker get down and dirty with the guys. And Courtney Love did. It was fun to be a fan of something different. – Carrie Underwood
I have several books I can read over and over. With fiction, it’s ‘The Stand’ by Stephen King, which is my favorite all time. I read that at least once a year, the version which has 100,000 extra words, which is like the director’s cut and unabridged. I love the story. I love the social connotation to it. – Corey Taylor
Whether it’s a canvas tote or Givenchy, a day bag you love is essential. It doesn’t have to be a fashion It bag of the season, either. – Brad Goreski
I sailboat raced, I love to go out on my motorcycle alone, but I also love my family dearly. I love that aspect of my life as well. – Bob Seger
I love to play. I love, opera, hiking and museums. The one thing I don’t do is sit. I have a tremendous amount of energy. – Alan Dershowitz
I’ll say initially acting was my first love, and that’s what I pursued. But then, so far as even my first day on a film set, and just watching how things were set up, I just said, ‘I think I want to be in charge.’ I am very much type-A. I am a bit of a control freak. – Chris Evans
I do what I can, but I’ll always give it a shot. You’re not going to see me playing a Welsh character any time soon, not because I wouldn’t love to. I went up to Wales once and read for a film with Rhys Ifans, and haven’t been asked back since. We did have a nice time on the train on the way back. – Aidan Gillen
