Of course I want to have a deliciously seductive story on the surface which will keep people engaged and amused, but primarily, I'm interested in other things. It's the texture of any given moment that fascinates me: what is really going on between people or in somebody's mind.

Deborah Eisenberg

You see some of these actors, they have a permanent smile on their face. How can they do that? It really fascinates me.

Agnes Bruckner

I mean, language fascinates me anyway, and different words have different energies and you can change the whole drive of a sentence.

Alan Rickman

Among the thousand-and-one faces whereby form chooses to reveal itself to us, the one that fascinates me more than any other, and continues to fascinate me, is the structure hidden in mathematical things.

Alexander Grothendieck

Noir focuses on the criminal mind, not a whodunit: more why they did it and will they get away with it. The abnormal psychology is what fascinates me rather than the puzzle-solving aspect.

Allan Guthrie

What fascinates me about London is its multi-ethnicity, the coexistence of cultures and religions, but I do not see myself living here for very long. It's too big, too much stress, too much of a metropolis.

Alvaro Morata

Twitter fascinates me because it's real. It feels kind of unreal, but it makes very real things happen.

Amanda Palmer

In boxing, Mike Tyson fascinates me. The attitude and confidence that he could not be beaten when he was heavyweight champion of the world was interesting. He came across as very mild-mannered, and much of what he said made sense.

Andrew Flintoff

I believe that there is an important part of every human being that is defined in terms of their significant other: how we choose our partner, and how we behave when we are with them. And that is the part that interests me. How that part of the personality is forged doesn't just interest me, it fascinates me.

Angeles Mastretta

That's what sort of fascinates me - what's funny as well as what's sad.

Anh Do

I did have imprinted on me the idea of trauma that changes things dramatically and suddenly. As a writer, I return to that again and again because it fascinates me, and it's where I come from, in a sense.

Ann Packer

The why of murder always fascinates me so much more than the how.

Ann Rule

I can't think of a single one of my plays that does not represent a coincidence between an external and an internal event. Something outside of me, outside even my own life, something I read in a newspaper or witness on the street, something I see or hear, fascinates me. I see it for its dramatic potential.

Athol Fugard

'Elle' is such an iconic magazine, and the intersection of fashion and music has always been something that fascinates me.

Aubrie Sellers

It really fascinates me what white people are allowed to write about.

bell hooks

Some people will stay at home and be content there. Others are born to run. It's that conflict that fascinates me.

Bobbie Ann Mason

The sight of nature fascinates, the family tie has a sweet enchantment and patriotism gives the religious spirit a fiery devotion to the powers that it reveres.

Bruno Bauer

L.A. is a place people come to for all sorts of reasons, often to reinvent themselves, and that fascinates me.

Caroline Leavitt

I write to explore something that fascinates me, and I write the way I do because it is the only way I know how to write.

Cathy Marie Buchanan

One of the things that fascinates me most about the toys of the Sixties and Seventies is that they were characters without stories, as such.

Chris Roberson

There are lots of brilliant free kick specialists in the world. But the technique of Cristiano Ronaldo and David Beckham fascinates me most of all.

David Alaba
