Someone once told me that something they really liked about me was that they thought that I was really down to earth and not high-maintenance. I think that was cool. It's important to stay grounded.

I read the script for Wonder Boys and I said that was almost perfect it was so classy cool and funny. It's a really specific thing. We stuck to it it turned out good and a lot of people liked it.

I really liked the snake that breaks out of the cage in the beginning of the movie. I saw it in real life and it was really cool. Really big and fat. The owls are cool as well but you can't really pet them.

I never cut class. I loved getting A's I liked being smart. I liked being on time. I thought being smart is cooler than anything in the world.

Just because you liked something as a youngster doesn't mean you have to like it as an adult. You can change your taste a little bit on the sweets and things like that.

The car is a character in the piece - I've never liked the car I submitted to it's objectionable popularity.

I started rapping before anybody had ever bought a car from it. It was truly about the art form and the culture more so than now where it's a successful way to make money. Back then you had to be doing it because you liked it.

I dated a guy and he liked me but I didn't like him. I went through his wardrobe and cleaned out his house and got him to get a new car. He said to me 'If I give you $10 0 will you find me my wife because I want someone like you?' And within a year he got married. That was the first match that led to me leaving my corporate job.

When I first thought of the idea for 'Sweet Valley High ' I loved the idea of high school as microcosm of the real world. And what I really liked was how it moved things on from 'Sleeping Beauty'-esque romance novels where the girl had to wait for the hero. This would be girl-driven very different I decided - and indeed it is.

My main aim has always been to do good quality films with roles that have some substance. With Power and Beauty there were loads of things that I liked about the movie which made me opt for it.

Beauty and the Beast seemed like it all was really brown. The whole thing was just so brown and orange and yellow like Burger King or something. I don't think I would have liked Beauty and the Beast at any age.

When I drank I had a very different attitude towards my playing. It was sloppier but I kind of liked it that way. It was like the alcohol was telling my mind what to do.

It took the Metropolitan Museum of Art nearly 50 years to wake up to Pablo Picasso. It didn't own one of his paintings until 1946 when Gertrude Stein bequeathed that indomitable quasi-Cubistic picture of herself - a portrait of the writer as a sumo Buddha - to the Met principally because she disliked the Museum of Modern Art.

I've always liked traveling around Europe and seeing the architecture. The buildings in capital cities have been there for hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of years. Some look better than the new ones.

In my early 20s I was so miserable doing construction I wanted something that paid money. I liked nice stuff. I liked cars and architecture and things that cost money. I wanted to not swing a hammer and make money... and not do stuff that was dirty. I attempted to get into comedy. I started to do stand-up but I wasn't very good at it.

I would have liked maybe to be in architecture or painting something connected to the fine arts.

I liked the way they treated the first second and third place finishers equally. It was an amazing year. I only entered two song contests this year I won one and placed second in the other. And I entered each of them a day or two before the deadline.

I really liked the helicopter pilot in 'Dawn of the Dead' when he gets bitten and comes out of the elevator. That guy was amazing. He did this incredible walk that we didn't even know about until we started shooting.

I had a very happy childhood but I wasn't that happy a child. I liked being alone and creating characters and voices. I think that's when your creativity is developed when you're young. I liked the world of the imagination because it was an easy place to go to.

Traveling to Russia and Germany and being able to see the world at a young age was really cool for me and I really liked that.

And from the first time I picked up a basketball at age eight - I had a lot of difficulty when I first picked up a basketball because I was a scrub - there were things that I liked about it.

When I was younger my whole sense of self-worth was based on whether or not I was working which was awful. And I had a baby at 20 years old so it wasn't just about me. At around the age of 30 there was a stretch where I wasn't working - certainly not on anything I liked anyway - and I started to do other things.

From as long as literally as far back as I can remember I've liked puns word jokes I can literally recall looking at a comic at the age of six or seven and I remember what I enjoyed and what it was precisely and how the joke worked.
