In religious and in secular affairs the more fervent beliefs attract followers. If you are a moderate in any respect - if you're a moderate on abortion if you're a moderate on gun control or if you're a moderate in your religious faith - it doesn't evolve into a crusade where you're either right or wrong good or bad with us or against us.

Sadness is a super important thing not to be ashamed about but to include in our lives. One of the bigger problems with sadness or depression is there's so much shame around it. If you have it you're a failure. You are felt as being very unattractive.

By far the most important factor in the success or failure of any school far more important than tests or standards or business-model methods of accountability is simply attracting the best-educated most exciting young people into urban schools and keeping them there.

I've always been attracted to cars and driving is a completely measurable experience: if you qualify last on the grid you're the slowest and if you qualify first on the grid you're the fastest. So no one can say you're slow if you're fast and no one can say you're fast if you're slow.

If an ignorant person is attracted by the things of the world that is bad. But if a learned person is thus attracted it is worse.

What's interesting is for myself when I become really attracted to somebody I find them in my dreams... conversations nothing more.

I have been following a vegan diet now since the 1980s and find it not only healthier but also much more attractive than the chunks of meat that were on my plate as a child.

Initially it was the unpractical in fashion that brought me to design my own line. I felt that it was much more attractive to cut clothes with respect for the living three-dimensional body rather than to cover the body with decorative ideas.

I think that obviously there is a perverse attraction to a fundamentally changed world or the end of the world. There is a death wish a perverse death wish. Not just for ourselves not just for the movie 'Death Wish ' but for the end of all human life.

Celebrities say they date other celebrities because they have the same job. But I think they just like dating famous people. Celebrities attract each other like cattle.

I had to find a diet that would kick me back into dating shape because I know that I can't date at size 8. I have to date at size 2. And it's just a fact of nature. Go get your injections and your chemical peels. You gotta look good to attract a man.

I like the bad-boy types. Generally the guy I'm attracted to is the guy in the club with all the tattoos and nail polish. He's usually the lead singer in a punk band and plays guitar. But my serious boyfriends are relatively clean-cut nice guys. So it's strange.

My dad had a personal style which was very attractive. It was quite reserved and quite elegant and it was infectious.

Courage and willingness to just go for it whether it is a conversation or a spontaneous trip or trying new things that are scary - it is a really attractive quality.

If you're a kid who's not necessarily attractive and you don't have money and you're not hip and cool chances are you're not going to feel good about yourself and want to be an actor.

The promos with all of the beautiful women probably attracted some men but the mystery story line is pretty cool. It's got that dark edge and people will watch anything funny.

I don't think generally speaking people become writers because they were the really good really cool attractive kid in class. I'll be honest. This is our revenge for people who were much better looking and more popular than us. I was a bit like that I suppose.

I'm comfortable only when there's a mutual attraction. That's what anyone wants. If I find out she's not attracted to me it brings down my level of attraction to her. If I'm interested and find out she's not I tend to cool off.

Being cool having a 'cool' energy is just not attractive to me.

The second I met Zac I thought he was a really cool guy. It's hard not to have chemistry with someone who is so attractive.

If a guy is skilled at anything that's attractive. There's something very primal about that and sure it can be as simple as figuring out the tip quickly. It's really cool when a guy tips 20 percent quickly and effortlessly so that when the check comes he opens it and signs his name and done.

I'm just attracted to playing people who are ostensible unlikable. That's not to say that there's something in there that makes you care. It might be that you just find them so awful that you just can't stop watching like a car crash.

To attract men I wear a perfume called 'New Car Interior.'

Major labels didn't start showing up really until they smelled money and that's all they're ever going to be attracted to is money-that's the business they're in- making money.
