I don't relate to people that look like me. I find it deeply unsatisfying to play a version of myself. It was something I had to figure out really early on, when I was at RADA, because I was being cast, over and over again, as the young, virginal thing. When I left RADA, I was on an absolute mission to never wear make-up.

Andrea Riseborough

The fact that logic cannot satisfy us awakens an almost insatiable hunger for the irrational.

A. N. Wilson

If you know somebody is going to be awfully annoyed by something you write, that's obviously very satisfying, and if they howl with rage or cry, that's honey.

A. N. Wilson

I may be wrong, but the essential illustrative nature of most documentary photography, and the worship of the object per se, in our best nature photography, is not enough to satisfy the man of today, compounded as he is of Christ, Freud, and Marx.

Aaron Siskind

Trying to guess what the (mass) audience wants and then trying to satisfy that is usually a bad recipe for getting something good.

Aaron Sorkin

Obviously, you're always happy when you can tell a story completely from beginning to end and tell it in a satisfying way, where you're able to make yourself happy and make the audience happy.

Aaron Stanford

A run-of-the-mill bad guy role does not satisfy me creatively.

Abhimanyu Singh

In some ways, in the U.S. we don't know how to be. I think in a lot of ways America is about liberation and about change and progressive human relations. And because of that, I feel like that we're confused about who we're supposed to be and what it is that's supposed to satisfy us and make us feel fulfilled.

Abigail Washburn

There is something not entirely satisfying about an online memorial.

Adam Cohen

It was definitely strange to come home and all of a sudden have to shift gears into creative mode. I kind of had to figure out what it was about music that made it exciting, and question what it was that made it worth sacrificing all the other parts of my life that weren't as satisfying.

Adam Granduciel

Yoga carves you into a different person - and that is satisfying physically.

Adam Levine

We didn't set out to be educators or even scientists, and we don't purport that what we do is real science but we're demonstrating a methodology by which one can engage and satisfy your curiosity.

Adam Savage

Making your own records is really satisfying in the sense that you more or less get to do what you want. It may not sell or whatever, but on an artistic level, the only people that you really have to fight with are the people in your own band.

Adam Schlesinger

For me, it's just more satisfying when you follow the rules rather than just make a bunch of sounds. The magic of just making noise in the studio goes away after a while.

Adam Schlesinger

As a writer, I find it very satisfying when a lyric suddenly ties together more neatly than you expected it to. But for the listener, hearing a good lyric is not generally as exciting as hearing a great beat or a great riff or a great melody or even a distinctive singing voice for the first time.

Adam Schlesinger

We must recognize that anger only agitates and incites. It cannot squelch or satisfy the hunger for justice.

Afeni Shakur

I don't work for the commercial success of the film. I work to satisfy my producers who give me the money. I work to satisfy the director who has written a script for me. Of course, I have to satisfy the actor in me, but I want to satisfy them first.

Ajith Kumar

I think of myself as quite a shy person. But when I'm curious about something, I'll go quite far to satisfy my curiosity.

Alain de Botton

Advertising is - quite often - alive to our real needs. It's just the products on offer might not be the things that will help us satisfy them.

Alain de Botton

Television viewing has become for me a completely different experience, because I don't watch shows on a weekly basis. I wait until the DVD or I TiVo everything and wait until the end of a season and watch it all over a weekend. For me that's a really satisfying experience, like reading a book.

Alan Ball

I've had such a satisfying life professionally and personally. I hope my tombstone says, 'Never boring.'
