Some readers sort of suspect that you have another book that you didn't publish that has even more information in it. I think that readers sort of want to be taught something. They have this idea that there's a takeaway from a novel rather than just the being there, which I think is the great, great pleasure of reading.

My writing flows out of my doctorhood. They are not separate things. They are one. I think the foremost connection between being a doctor and being a writer is the great privilege of having an intimate view of one's fellow humans, the privilege of being there and helping other people at their most vulnerable moments.

Abraham Verghese

For me, every show that's about teachers - and there's been a number of them - they're like misfits who hate the kids and don't want to be there and hate their jobs. For me, having crazy parents, my teachers were the sane people who raised me, and they liked being there.

Adam F. Goldberg

You sort of start to slowly earn more respect from the players. You have to get used to being there and know that you belong. Mentally, that's one of the hardest parts.

Alex de Minaur

People are going to come into your life that need you, and being there for them makes the day worth living. People are going to come into your life that you need, and that's the really crazy thing.

Amy Grant

I've always loved reporting from the field most of all. There's something about doing live TV and being there as it happens that's always appealed to me. I think there's great value to bearing witness to these events as they're actually happening.

Anderson Cooper

One of the few luxuries left is travel. And the aspect of travel that is luxurious is not the movement, but the being there.

Andre Balazs

I cry whenever I watch an emotional scene that I did, just because it brings me back to that moment. It's like, I remember being there; I remember feeling what I felt. It's really weird, right?

Ansel Elgort

It's a team game, but you've got to have individuals that really want the ball and want the pressure of being there to help get in a position to win.

Antonio Brown

I missed Britain. I'm from here and I never aspired to go to L.A. - it sort of happened by default. I loved being there. I found it a little bit difficult at first, but I found my way.

Ashley Jensen

Once you've been at the top, you're always gonna know what it's like to be at the top. If you've never been at the top, you're not worrying about what it feels like being there.

Ashley Walters

People come to me and thank me for being there during their breakups or matchups. It seems awkward, but I'm glad to be of assistance during their light or dark moods.

Atif Aslam

I'm pretty good at weaseling my way into a job, even if I have no business being there.

Aubrey Plaza

To us, family means putting your arms around each other and being there.

Barbara Bush

I love the immediacy of an audience being there and reacting. I'm spoiled, having grown up in theater.

Barrett Foa

I'd never even been to Wrigley Field. I never even enjoyed baseball that much, but I loved being there, the crowd was lovely, and they all sang with me!

Bea Arthur

I'm at Leicester and with Brendan Rodgers coming in we're all loving him being there and that's where my head's at.

Ben Chilwell

I profoundly do not believe that the United States could make things better in Syria by being there. And we have an evidentiary record of what happens when we're there - nearly a decade in Iraq.

Ben Rhodes

There is nothing better than being there at the end and getting your team over the line.

Ben Stokes

It's all good being there for people when things are going well and smoothly but what really comes through is how you operate with someone when they need you the most.
