I don't like having people do little things for me.

I wouldn't want people judging me for things I did at 18.

All the things that people like me supposedly don't do, I do.

When people pile seven things onto one burger, it drives me nuts!

I guess people expect or figure me to be a lot of different things.

Some of the things people have said about me, well, they're unbelievable.

I hate being helpless, and I hate having to ask people to do things for me.

People want me to do the strangest things. They want me to sign their arms or chests.

The things I write are combinations of all of the people that have been influences to me.

I mean there are many people who have endorsed me that I agree with on some things and not others.

I think people make a lot of judgments about me based on what I wear and all the things that I do.

People tell me I'm not supposed to do the things that I do at my size. I just take it as a blessing.

The music I listen, the book I read, and the people I meet; these are some things that keeps me going.

A colleague once nicknamed me - half mocking - the 'magical stranger' because I get people to tell me things.

We want to pigeonhole things and people, but it is absurd to regard me just as a furry wig-and-britches actor.

My thing about creating things is that it has to do two purposes: It has to serve me creatively but also has to serve the people.

I want to be the defensive player to break the MVP barrier. I want to break barriers. I want to do things when people tell me I can't.

One of the things that fascinates me most is when people are so charmed by the universe that it becomes part of their artistic output.

I have people that I'm close to that give me things to read throughout the season, and in particular in the playoffs and the postseason.

One of the things that pushed me over the edge was that people on the Left were calling me names. How many kicks in the teeth do you have to endure.

I don't like to read things that people write about me. I'd rather read what kids have to say about me because it's not their profession to do that.

People told me I was nuts when I went to sign an act from YouTube - and now, that's one of the most conventional things you can do as an agent or manager.

I'd read things, like people criticizing me. But no one likes to read stuff about that, and probably the main thing that was getting to me was me mum's illness.

I've read some things that people said about me, and some of it's not even close to accurate. Honestly, I don't even have ESPN in my house. There's really no point.

Most of my rings are not expensive at all; they're just things that remind me of people that gave 'em to me. And they all have their own stories, their own meanings.

'Avatar' means so many things to so many different people. When I think of the creation of it, I think of me and Mike at the computer in a little apartment in Burbank.

There are some people who have been reading me for years, and they keep saying kind things about the writing. That's what you're writing for, to get people to respond to it.

My husband calls me 'throwy-outy' - he's horrified at how easily I dispense with things. People I won't let go of, but things, mementos from shows, I'm not particularly attached to.

I write about personal experiences. I write about things that have happened to me and the people around me, so you just sort of keep this antenna up and on the lookout for things to say.

One of the things that inspires me about working for Google is that when we solve a problem here, we can get that used by one million or even a billion people. That is very motivating as a computer scientist.

There are a lot of things I suck at. I'm not organized. I have to have partners and people around me who dot my i's and cross my t's. I'm sloppy. I'm a ready-fire-aim guy. I need to have people around me who aren't.

Writing about where I was from and the people I knew was not something that would have occurred to me early on, because like so many Southerners of that period - the Sixties - I rejected those things when I went north.

People do connect me with James Bond simply because I happen to like scrambled eggs and short-sleeved shirts and some of the things that James Bond does, but I certainly haven't got his guts nor his very lively appetites.

Because I write fiction, I don't write autobiography, and to me they are very different things. The first-person narrative is a very intimate thing, but you are not addressing other people as 'I' - you are inhabiting that 'I.'

I want to make it clear that I honestly answered every question put to me during the so-called Iran-Contra hearings. But if they didn't ask me about something, I wasn't about to reveal things that would put other people in jeopardy.

There's something about me that suggests I don't have an intelligent atom in me at all. So people say things to me that they wouldn't say to other people. Insulting, condescending things. They don't think I notice. But, of course, I'm taking it all in.

I really don't have an interest in it and people think I'm a freak because I'm not obsessed by 'Strictly Come Dancing' but it just doesn't appeal to me. I'm really sorry but I can't get into it. You get treated like a complete pariah if you don't like things like that!

One of the coolest things about touring around, actually, is getting to meet people, and getting to pick up on things that other people like. So many times, people come up to me after a reading and say, 'You must have read this,' or 'You must have seen this,' or 'Do you listen to this?' Usually I haven't.

The first 600 miles of the Pacific Crest Trail, before you get into the Sierra Nevada mountain range, is heavy on desert. One of the things I carry with me in the desert is an umbrella. People think that's insane. It has a shiny top to it, so it looks totally ridiculous, but the difference can be 20 degrees.
