A helpful thing for me has always been - this is from a great acting teacher Declan Donnellan - is this beautiful way of expressing how and why people do things that other people may not do. It's a simple sentence that says, 'I understand you; you don't understand me.'

I've been writing music since 4th grade, and I love putting words together and expressing things in a way that you can move your head to and you can really relate to, because I have a lot to say.

Adam Hicks

We're more into expressing ourselves than making radio hits.

Adam Jones

Being a public figure, you cannot make everyone happy. Some people will criticise your actions, and I cannot stop expressing my opinion based on that.

Adnan Sami

Your You Will

What influenced me was Tori Amos, who was unapologetic about expressing anger through music, and Sinead O'Connor. Those two in particular were really moving for me, and very inspiring, before I wrote 'Jagged Little Pill.'

Alanis Morissette

Music Art Anger

When someone says that I'm angry it's actually a compliment. I have not always been direct with my anger in my relationships, which is part of why I'd write about it in my songs because I had such fear around expressing anger as a woman.

Alanis Morissette

Relationship Men Fear

And ultimately the people who produce my records, they know that they're here to serve the purpose of me expressing who I am at this period of time and augmenting that or pulling it forward and I love that process.

Alesha Dixon

My definition of sexy is someone who is expressing themselves honestly.

Alex Meraz

Who Themselves Them

I feel like women bond with other women in this nonverbal way, where they take on each other's gestures. You start dressing more like each other, you eat the same food... It's a way of expressing regard: I want to be like you. Which is flattering, but if you view it another way, terrifying.

Alexandra Kleeman

A home should be an intimate autobiography of the things that you like. One of the things I'm so keen on expressing is that, if you don't do it for yourself, if you're always seeking affirmation from outside, you'll never have a home. It'll just be a house.

Alexandra Stoddard

Home Yourself Yours

I remember seeing the performance Samantha Morton did in 'Sweet and Low Down' where she didn't speak at all, and I loved it so much because she got to do so much work just by expressing herself in her body and her face. With expressions, it wasn't necessary to speak. I find that appealing.

Alexis Bledel

Work Love Wit

Most times, your blessings are also your curses. And for me, I have this ability to express myself so clearly with pen and paper, but when it comes to expressing myself verbally, I put up a big wall.

Alicia Keys

Time Your You

But as I was saying, from my experiences, I think men tend to be more timid in expressing their feelings for you. Regardless, I always prefer a friendship first and foremost.

Alicia Machado

I'm not a writer just to be a writer. I want to say something that really needs expressing.

Allison Pearson

Dancing is about expressing yourself, and the more walls you let down, the better.

Amy Purdy

I kind of do this awkward body language because, growing up, I had a really hard time expressing myself vocally.

Analeigh Tipton

War Time Age

I actually bought the argument that if we democratized Iraq, we could create a space for venting some of the stuff that's going on in the Middle East in these autocratic regimes that is expressing itself through jihadism, because it has nowhere else to express itself.

Andrew Sullivan

Writing is my primary way of expressing myself.

Annie Baker

Music is an extraordinary vehicle for expressing emotion - very powerful emotions. That's what draws millions of people towards it. And, um, I found myself always going for these darker places and - people identify with that.

Annie Lennox

I was drawn to people that were expressing feeling because that was what was taboo in my family, expressing feeling. And that was what I was made of.

Anohni

We all sing about the things we're thinking; musicals are about expressing those emotions that you can't talk about. It works a real treat.

Anthony Head

Actors in the film industry are usually wary of expressing their opinions on the issues of the day, politics especially.

Anupam Kher

I'm not always the best with expressing emotions and understanding my emotions.

Aquaria

I think that when voters react negatively to trade and investment, they are really expressing their angst about the pace of technological change.

Arancha Gonzalez

I want the power that comes from expressing myself creatively and putting something back into the world. Being someone's muse would be flattering, but it could get old fast.

Ari Graynor

I never was very capable of expressing my feelings or emotions in words. I don't know whether this is the cause why I did it in music and also why I did it in painting. Or vice versa: That I had this way as an outlet. I could renounce expressing something in words.

Arnold Schoenberg

I'm here to break boundaries, man. That's all. I'm here to be the first so that the people after me don't have to think twice about expressing themselves and being free.

ASAP Rocky

I was in a school called Shiv Niketan, run by Elizabeth Gauba, where she gave a lot of importance to people expressing themselves in whatever way they wanted - some could draw and answer, some could dance and answer, while some could act.

Ashish Vidyarthi

A lot of people over the years have been doing yoga and I think even more these days are expressing an interest in it. So there are a lot of manifestations of spirituality here in town.

Ashley Judd

Being dyslexic, creativity was my way of expressing myself.

Ashley Nell Tipton

In expressing so completely his own type, Mr. Yeats presents us with the case for integrity. If we can express eventually our own scholastic mentality in verse, I believe that our art will lead us not towards, but away from, English art.

Austin Clarke

Political correctness means nothing to me. Nothing. It's the new Puritanism, darling. Preventing us from expressing ourselves.

Barry Humphries

I do not set myself up as an advocate of the woman's right doctrine, but would rather appear in the character of a quiet lady expressing her sentiments, not so much to the public as to her immediate friends.

Belle Boyd

There are consequences for just expressing generally conservative views. And if those views take on the more extreme dint, the judgment can be swift.

Ben Domenech

One important lesson I learned over and over is that, when you walk into any troubled organization, there is a delicate balance between expressing human empathy and yet not passively sweeping hard truths under the rug.

Ben Sasse

A helpful thing for me has always been - this is from a great acting teacher Declan Donnellan - is this beautiful way of expressing how and why people do things that other people may not do. It's a simple sentence that says, 'I understand you; you don't understand me.'

The nature of the job of attorney general has changed - irrevocably. And we should never again have an attorney general, of either party, capable of expressing surprise at the role that national security issues now play in the life of the Justice Department or in the role of its chief.

Benjamin Wittes

They place great stress on the clarity of our language for expressing nuances and showing subtleties.

Bernard Pivot

At the Brooklyn Ethical Culture School, we learned to express ourselves, and I've been expressing myself ever since.

Betty Comden

How is it reasonable that in a country purporting to be a democracy, I am not permitted to speak freely? Why, as a politician, should I be banned from expressing political opinions? Why, as a student of history, can I not present the facts as I see them, without fear of reprisal?

Bilawal Bhutto Zardari

Sometimes I can think of so many ways of expressing myself that I feel I'm an old typewriter, and too many keys come forward at once - and I get jammed.

Boris Johnson

Music is about expressing things you can't in everyday life.

Brian Molko
