I think musicals can be more than what people imagine. That'll be the case with 'Matilda.' It's such a clever thing to stage. Parents would have read this when they were young and will want to share it with their children because they have such a fondness for the source.

I'm from the South, so while I personally find it impossible to live there, I still have a fondness for it as a geographical region.

I have a great fondness for the liars in my stories.

Just as a mother finds pleasure in taking her little child on her lap, there to feed and caress him, in like manner our loving God shows His fondness for His beloved souls who have given themselves entirely to Him and have placed all their hope in His goodness.

If you have a great love of singing, supported by others' fondness for your voice, then it is worth making every effort, of making every sacrifice, to achieve your goal. A great voice will easily find teachers who are willing to help a struggling young talent, and the ways of the Lord are infinite.

Andrea Bocelli

Teacher Love Great

I have a fondness for writing about precocious, troubled teenagers, who are alienating, but kind of endearing. It's from remembering so clearly that time in my own life. I experienced myself as more dramatically troubled than I was, but I just remember how it felt.

Ann Hood

I have a fondness for words. On that note, I don't consider my lyrics to be all that great. I like to call myself a supplier of words rather than a lyricist.

I always say New Orleans is my heart. It's where I'm from. I go back, and I have a huge fondness for it.

Bianca Del Rio

Art Where Ways

I have a fondness for jazz, particularly for jazz singers, Billie Holiday and Ella Fitzgerald all the way through the Sinatra era.

Bob Iger

Art Way Through

Those Laurel Canyon days were great. I have a real fondness for that era, 'til about '68. Musically, it was wonderful, and there was this great innocence, an idyllic view of the world. After that, everything got a little... edgy.

Chris Hillman

Music Great World

Hats off to musicians who just want a pure escape. I have a lot of fondness for pure escapism. I don't feel like it's irresponsible, I think sometimes you really need to take a breather.

Chris Thile

Time Music You

I see 'Eligible' as a homage, and I see 'Pride and Prejudice' as a perfect book. You can dispute whether this project is a good idea, but you can't dispute my fondness for the novel.

Curtis Sittenfeld

I love music. I have a fondness for Chopin, and I very much like his 'Raindrop Prelude.'

Daniel Tammet

It's easy to like the most popular films, but I have a great fondness for 'A Life Less Ordinary'.

Danny Boyle

I'm not terribly technological. I'm awfully backward about iPads and BlackBerries and suchlike; I still have a great fondness for Teletext, and I clung onto my fax machine for as long as I could, but eventually you have to move with the times.

David Tang

War Time Great

When I was 12, I had a fondness for horror movies like the 'Wolfman.' The boy next door said I should read Poe.

My mother and father met while playing chess, so I've always had a fondness for the game. If it weren't for chess, I might not be here.

Dorothy Dunnett

I have a fondness for when the landscape becomes surreal.

Edward Burtynsky

I mean, for sure, from my history, I have an extreme fondness for 2D. I think it feels very hand-crafted, and you see the artist's personal touch. I think something about CG makes it a bit more sterile.

Genndy Tartakovsky

I'm glad I made the decision, although the practice of law - and particularly serving as a federal judge - was a part of my life that I really enjoyed and treasured and look back on it with fondness.

George J. Mitchell

I've always had a fondness for the Gothic. That's what kind of stories attract me: Why do people do bad things?

Gillian Flynn

I don't have a fondness for movies, which leaves me stranded when it comes to cocktail party chat, but I prefer language and books.

Heather Mac Donald

My first score for 'The Lord of the Rings' trilogy, 'The Fellowship of the Ring,' was the beginning of my journey into the world of Tolkien, and I will always hold a special fondness for the music and the experience.

Howard Shore

Besides great climates and lovely beaches, California and Greece share a fondness for dysfunctional politics and feckless budgeting.

James Surowiecki

I'm very committed to and interested in CNN's journalism and our magazines and our movie studio, not just HBO, where I grew up. But I do have a fondness for subscription television.

Jeff Bewkes

There was a lot of playing by myself, wearing last year's Halloween costume and wandering around the yard talking to myself - which may account for my fondness for doing different voices.

Jefferson Mays

If one could conclude as to the nature of the Creator from a study of his creation it would appear that God has a special fondness for stars and beetles.

John B. S. Haldane

Anyone with a fondness for intricately flavored, carefully measured cocktails and entertaining at home knows how poorly the two mix.

Jonathan Miles

America was the one territory where they didn't release 'Nights In White Satin' at the time it was made. It was about three or four months later, after 'Tuesday Afternoon,' so I think we have a special fondness for it.

Justin Hayward

I've always had a great fondness for English detective fiction such as Agatha Christie and Dorothy Sayers.

Kazuo Ishiguro

I have a fondness for making paintings that go beyond just having a conversation about art for art's sake or having a conversation about art history. I actually really enjoy looking at broader popular culture.

Kehinde Wiley

In a weird way, I think I'm much better at oneshots than longform. So I try to focus on five or six-issue arcs. I have a real fondness for the one-shots because that's where I do my best storytelling.

Kelly Sue DeConnick

The experience of writing 'The Kite Runner' is one I will always think back on with fondness. There is an energy, a romance in writing the first novel that can never be duplicated again.

Khaled Hosseini

I have a fondness for junk food - it still calls me, sometimes.

Mark Cavendish

Ribbing is a part of wrestling. That's the way they show a fondness for you - they play practical jokes on you. They put your wrestling gear in plastic bags and throw it in the shower. Just stupid stuff.

Mark Henry

I've got a fondness for rabbits.

Martin McDonagh

He showed in the last interview, as on the later portions of the chart, a genuine fondness for the rabbit.

Mary C. Jones

I actually find fondness and appreciation for the Bray Wyatt. I see that he is driven by a higher power, much like I am driven and motivated and inspired and given strength by the Seven Deities.

Matt Hardy

Self-esteem, the kind that comes from finding the sweet spot between a healthy fondness for yourself and healthy self-skepticism, tends to get harder to come by the older we get.

Meghan Daum

I look back on my career and my time as commissioner with great fondness.

Mick Foley

Although I wasn't fond of the violin in the beginning, as I played on I developed a fondness which soon turned into a passion.

Mohan Sithara

For a combination of reasons, and despite evident fondness for American products and individuals, my impression is that most Pakistanis have extremely negative views of the U.S. as a geopolitical player.

Mohsin Hamid

I love ghost stories, and I also have a great fondness and love for 'Quatermass,' which in many ways is the show that preceded 'Doctor Who.' 'Doctor Who' borrowed quite a bit from 'Quatermass' and probably wouldn't have existed in anything like the form we recognise today if 'Quatermass' hadn't come before it.

Neil Cross

I don't look back on any film I've done with fondness or pride.

Nicolas Roeg

I'd quite like to put Noel Edmonds who was on the television and radio in a compartment and remember all that with great fondness and gratitude but consign it to history.

Noel Edmonds

Robert Walker as Bruno was excellent. He had elegance and humor, and the proper fondness for his mother.

Patricia Highsmith

I have a great fondness for any character I work on. Whether it's somebody like Batman or Harley Quinn or whatever character I'm writing, I just really enjoy the heck out of it, and I try to do the best job I can with it.

Paul Dini

I look back on the early days of Free with Paul Kossoff with the most fondness of any of my bands, because I met him at a time when I was in London and very hungry, and we believed in each other.

Paul Rodgers

I have no fondness for pure form at all.

Peter Porter

English has always had a special fondness for other European languages, a neighborly soft spot - perhaps because Britain has been invaded by speakers of those languages from the onset of its recorded history.
