Writing is writing to me. I'm incapable of saying no to any writing job, so I've done everything - historical fiction, myths, fairy tales, anything that anybody expresses any interest in me writing, I'll write. It's the same reason I used to read as a child: I like going somewhere else and being someone else.

Alice Walker

I just like to have words that describe things correctly. Now to me, 'black feminist' does not do that. I need a word that is organic, that really comes out of the culture, that really expresses the spirit that we see in black women. And it's just... womanish.

Alice Walker

I always try hard to arrange all media in a way so that it expresses what I want - this is not limited to one medium alone and varies from case to case.

Anyone who expresses anti-Semitic ideas in Poland is like a person who steps on a grave - a despicable act in Polish culture.

There is a fluency and an ease with which true mastery and expertise always expresses itself, whether it be in writing, whether it be in a mathematical proof, whether it be in a dance that you see on stage, really in every domain. But I think the question is, you know, where does that fluency and mastery come from?

A great photograph is one that fully expresses what one feels, in the deepest sense, about what is being photographed.

Ansel Adams

To the extent I am known, I think I am known as a person who expresses his opinion freely about things - and I was sensitive to the possibility that if I was seen taking money for saying nice things about a product, my comments and choices and opinions would become, understandably, suspect.

Anthony Bourdain

Burning the flag is a form of expression. Speech doesn't just mean written words or oral words. It could be semaphore. And burning a flag is a symbol that expresses an idea - I hate the government, the government is unjust, whatever.

Antonin Scalia

Poetry is finer and more philosophical than history; for poetry expresses the universal, and history only the particular.

Aristotle

I wanted to appeal to people who've never really listened to hip-hop or really given it a chance before. I've also tried to incorporate all my favorite lifestyle things in the music. Of course, 'Fashion Killa' is one of peoples' favorites because it just expresses how much I like fashion.

Well, I think when one has got beliefs and expresses and communicates them then one also radiates some kind of freedom that some people might not dare having.

Bill Kaulitz

My music has been called heavy metal, but that's not an accurate description. I'd rather call it articulate rock because it expresses many feelings and emotions.

Billy Squier

I think the true artist - musician, dancer, writer, actor - a true artist is able to sort of articulate pain and tragedy, in a way that sort of expresses what the listener or the beholder may have been feeling but was less able to communicate.

Black Thought

I grew up on popular music, and rock-and-roll expresses very deep feelings of those people who don't have a lot.

Bobbie Ann Mason

Political art expresses the cliches you agree with, unlike propaganda, which expresses the cliches you don't.

Brad Holland

No good poem, however confessional it may be, is just a self-expression. Who on earth would claim that the pearl expresses the oyster?

C. Day Lewis

Music is an art that expresses the inexpressible. It rises far above what words can mean or the intelligence define. Its domain is the imponderable and impalpable land of the unconscious.

Charles Munch

Take steps each day to be sure your life expresses commitment to Jesus.

Charles Stanley

I think I need to play somebody who expresses themselves and is able to communicate on a more open level, something really different.

Cliff Stearns

I love myself and the bearded lady is fun and expresses everything I feel.

Conchita Wurst

One of the coolest ways to start building a character is the way he moves his mouth, what part of the mouth he puts his words into, how he expresses himself, and there's a certain flavor you get with a dialect.

Cory Michael Smith

For me, I've been doing comedy for a long time, and I love it and have no regrets, but 'Chernobyl' expresses a side of me that is far more true to who I am on a day to day basis.

Craig Mazin

I'm a big believer in everybody being themselves. If not doing a swimsuit calendar is yourself, that's great. But if doing a swimsuit calendar is yourself, then you should be able to do it. What I do outside the car adds to who I am and expresses a different side of me.

Danica Patrick

A little girl who finds a puzzle frustrating might ask her busy mother (or teacher) for help. The child gets one message if her mother expresses clear pleasure at the request and quite another if mommy responds with a curt 'Don't bother me - I've got important work to do.'

Daniel Goleman

'One Yellow Daffodil' is both a look to the past and to the future and expresses my belief in the great spirit and strength of our children.

David A. Adler

Nothing expresses lack of inner confidence like bluster.

David Brin

I always have difficulty with the Greek tragic plays. I think the difficulty one has - which is a serious problem - is the question of belief. Do you believe in the myth that the play expresses? Do you believe in it as myth or as reality? With any play, you have to believe in it as reality. You can't act a myth.

Derek Walcott

Akshay sir is very good at comedy. He has so much energy in him. He not only expresses with his dialogues but also his body. He is like Mr Bean.

Diljit Dosanjh

I got one of the best sax players in the business - Arno Hecht. He plays with the Uptown Horns and all the great blues bands. He expresses the heart of the Apollo Theatre, let me tell you.

Dion DiMucci

It's not that I don't want to do commercial films, but if my part is just to look pretty, I'm not up for it. I'd do a role that expresses something. It's not that I don't want to look good, but give me a part where I have scope to perform.

Disha Patani

Each victim of suicide gives his act a personal stamp which expresses his temperament, the special conditions in which he is involved, and which, consequently, cannot be explained by the social and general causes of the phenomenon.

Emile Durkheim

The Emilia Wickstead customer is a sophisticated, accomplished woman who expresses her femininity and style through the way she dresses. She appreciates classic with a twist, yet luxurious and high quality clothing that make her feel confident, elegant, and ultimately chic.

Emilia Wickstead

I write lustily and humorously. It isn't calculated; it's the way I think. I've invented a writing style that expresses who I am.

Erica Jong

I think that Sappho expresses the orphaned part of ourselves. The orphaned part of ourselves that reaches out to passion for completion. That reaches out to motherhood for completion.

Erica Jong

The American principles of democracy expresses the deepest values of the Sharia both structurally and in the government... Sharia requires us Muslims anywhere to abide by the law of the land.

Feisal Abdul Rauf

To live life well is to express life poorly; if one expresses life too well, one is living it no longer.

Gaston Bachelard
