One big power of an actor is knowing when to say no to something. It can be very tempting to say yes to something, because you're flattered that somebody would like to work with you, and your ego sort of takes over, but it's important to ask whether there could be something you could add to a project by being part of it.

Alex Lawther

Those shows I did with Queen were pretty surreal. I was really excited and super-flattered, but intimidated at the same time.

Adam Lambert

Time Wit Were

My vanity was flattered by having been mistaken for our revered sovereign. I ordered a banquet to be got ready for the following evening, under the trees before my house, and invited the whole town.

Adelbert von Chamisso

Wing Win Whole

So I'm one of the few celebrities that got to do a repeat performance on 'The Simpsons,' which I'm very flattered by.

Yin Trying Try

I feel flattered that people like the way I look, but it doesn't help you win points.

Ana Ivanovic

You Win Way

I am very glad I did 'EastEnders,' and I'm flattered that people still remember me in it.

Anita Dobson

Very Till Tender

I would be lying if I said I'm not flattered being voted as the 'Time's' Most Desirable Man of 2012. Frankly, I have no idea how the desirability quotient is arrived at. If it is just drop dead good looks, then I have to thank God and my parents for it.

Arjun Rampal

Time Good God

I think they're an incredible honor. I'm grateful and flattered by them. But I have no control over winning awards - I have no control over any of that.

Audra McDonald

War Winning Win

I've been blessed from the very beginning with the large gay audience, and I'm flattered. They always have the best taste anyways and are at the forefront of fashion, music, and style. So I'm really happy about that and very flattered. It's a good following to have because it means you're doing something right.

Belinda Carlisle

Music Good You

I didn't know I was cool, but I was very flattered that some of the younger comedy writers came up to talk to me at the Emmys. I found that gratifying.

Bob Newhart

Cool Younger Young

I am flattered Serbia are interested in me and for the great effort they are making. But I am Spanish and my desire is to play for Spain.

Great Ted T

I am very flattered that so many people loved 'Chasing Dreams.'

Love Dreams Very

I'm flattered that people want to hear me talk about nothing.

Busy Philipps

Want Thing Thin

I'm always flattered when someone thinks of me as a potential commissioner of baseball.

Cal Ripken, Jr.

Ways Way Thinks

I'm flattered by the fact that most people tell me they don't know what my politics are.

Charlie Rose

Politics Tell T

I'm flattered anytime someone has taken enough time to listen to me and make a connection to someone else, honestly.

Charlie Worsham

Time Tim Ten

I'm flattered anytime someone has taken enough time to listen to me and make a connection to someone else, honestly. I feel very lucky that a lot of my influences are the ones that people will tweet to me that I remind them of.

Charlie Worsham

Time Will Very

I'm very flattered to be called a style icon! But it's simple, my style; it's just men's suits and shoes. That's the basic premise.

Charlotte Rampling

Men Very Us

If you are fearful, a horse will back off. If you are calm and confident, it will come forward. For those who are often flattered or feared, the horse can be a welcome mirror of the best in human nature.

Clare Balding

Particularly when you're young, you're terribly flattered by people who like you, so you think you love them.

Clare Balding

A lot of times, guys leave WWE or get fired by WWE, but there's always that little bit of buzz right when they get out on the scene, but like all buzz, it fades. But I feel really flattered that, for whatever reason, it seems to be trending upwards.

Cody Rhodes

I'm not angry about 'Bo' Selecta!' I was flattered at first and even appeared on his show, but he just went on to become more vicious, knocking down everything I did.

Craig David

Clemens, Seaver, Gibson, Maddux - I just don't see myself in that category. I'm flattered that maybe it's debatable at this point.

David Cone

I'm starting to see players copy what I do. I'm flattered.

Dennis Rodman

If someone wants a picture, I'm so honored and so flattered, and I hope I have a reputation as someone who goes out of his way to do those kinds of things.

Dierks Bentley

I'm very flattered, but I don't think I'm the sexiest man on the planet.

Douglas Wilson

I am genuinely flattered by Chelsea's interest. It's a club I really respect, and hold in great esteem.

Edin Dzeko

I once had a rose named after me and I was very flattered. But I was not pleased to read the description in the catalogue: no good in a bed, but fine up against a wall.

Eleanor Roosevelt

I'm very flattered because Margot Robbie is insanely beautiful, but it's always annoying to have people focusing on your looks as opposed to what you're actually doing on the job. But also, I'll take it. There are worse people to be compared to.

Emma Mackey

I like the Italian giants, and Spain is attractive, but when I heard that Manchester United were in the frame, I was very flattered. Nonetheless, I want to reiterate that Udinese is a great place, and I am happy here.

Fabio Quagliarella

I did movies because I was flattered and for money and because I wanted to kiss Sophie Marceau.

Gad Elmaleh

An Englishman, being flattered, is a lamb; threatened, a lion.

George Chapman

I can't tell you the number of people that are like, 'Has anyone ever told you you look like a blonde Liv Tyler?' And at this point, I'm like, 'Yes... yes, I've been told that.' I mean, she's beautiful. It's not like I'm not totally flattered by it, but then again, I think I look like myself.

Gillian Jacobs

The only person Henry Kissinger flattered more than President Richard Nixon was Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, the shah of Iran. In the early 1970s, the shah, sitting atop an enormous reserve of increasingly expensive oil and a key figure in Nixon and Kissinger's move into the Middle East, wanted to be dealt with as a serious person.

Greg Grandin

I enjoy countless hundreds pursuing me. I love those who love me the most. I am sort of flattered by men showing attention to me.

Hedy Lamarr

Jealousy can even be good for love. One partner may feel secretly flattered when the other is mildly jealous. And catching someone flirting with your beloved can spark the kind of lust and romance that reignites a relationship.

Helen Fisher

He surprised me by his familiarity with details of movements and battles which I did not suppose had come to his knowledge. As he kept me talking for over half an hour, I flattered myself that what I had to say interested him.

Henry Villard

I do see, in some younger writers, elements and things that I have used - and I am very touched and flattered because I am part of a tapestry that is being absorbed by authors.

Isobelle Carmody

Admiration from a coach like Mourinho is definitely something that flattered me. It's confirmation of hard work and good performances.

Ivan Perisic

I was in a position where I was going to wait for the 'Inbetweeners' film to come out before I decided what I was going to do next, but as soon I was asked to be involved with 'Comic Strip', I was incredibly flattered and jumped at it.

James Buckley

To flatter and follow others, without being flattered and followed in turn, is but a state of half enjoyment.

Jane Austen

My first husband, John Barry, was a composer. I couldn't believe that this sophisticated, talented genius chose me and not any of the other girls. I was so flattered, so excited, so in love with him. Of course, my parents were horrified, as he'd been married once and had a daughter with the au pair girl.

Jane Birkin

I'm flattered that other artists consider me a role model.

Janet Jackson

I didn't know I was a sex symbol in the U.K., but if I am, then I'm flattered.

Jessie Pavelka

Not only had I not expected a random call from Joe Biden, but I could never have imagined he would make that call to ask me out. I've been asked if I was starstruck by the fact that a U.S. senator thought I was worth a call, but I honestly wasn't. I was flattered that someone I'd heard of was interested.

Jill Biden

I was so flattered that someone wanted me to write a book, I said I would. It was published in 1969.

Jilly Cooper

When I was 49, I posed for Playboy - I was very flattered to be asked. I was quite honoured, really, considering that most of the models they feature are in their twenties.

Joan Collins

I was very flattered when Disney Junior reached out and invited me to come voice Ariel for this special primetime edition of 'Sofia the First.' As the parent myself, I really appreciate the positive messages that this animated series is trying to put out there.
