Here's what I think, though this theory is hardly unique to me: Kids aren't picky because they really care about particular foods; they're picky because it offers one of the few opportunities in their heavily guided and chaperoned lives to express opinions and exercise control.

J. Kenji Lopez-Alt

You've got to be picky in this business - if you're not, then I don't think you have the option of longevity. You've got to be choosy and try and do something that's outside of the box and dangerous. I love doing stuff that excites me, gives me that adrenalin rush.

Aaron Paul

Love Business Anger

I'm really picky about stuff like videos or even pictures of the band, but at the same time, I don't really know what it is I want; I just know what I don't want.

Adam Granduciel

Time Want Videos

I remember getting out of acting school and friends of mine talking about, like, 'You know, I don't think I'm gonna do TV.' Like, people putting on these airs of being picky. And I was never a snob about it.

Adam Scott

You TV Tin

I don't know a single actor who is not picky.

Akshaye Khanna

Who T Single

You just have to ensure that you make good films because audiences today have become picky and smart, and rightfully so.

Alia Bhatt

Good Art You

I was a very picky eater.

Alice Waters

Very T Picky

I am in the fortunate-enough position where I can be picky.

Allison Williams

Where UN Tuna

I think I am really easygoing. Well... as I was about halfway through that sentence, I thought, 'No, actually you're really picky.' But the things I ask for are really simple to do.

Amanda Harlech

You Well Way

I have a lot of fake food in my apartment, but I'm picky about it. Old plaster food, like from the '50s is really nice, hollowed out paper-mache food from old plays - the new stuff just looks too good.

Amy Sedaris

Men Good Food

I would love to do theater. But I am very picky when choosing theater. I just won't do anything.

Ana Layevska

Love Would Won

I'm very picky; I'm never happy with anything. It's so hard to give the record away and accept that you're done.

Aurora

You Wit Way

I haven't done many commercials, and I'm very picky about it because it comes down to creative control.

Billy Eichner

Very Use Us

I'm not afraid to swing the bat. If they elect to pitch to me, I'm going to swing. I'm not as picky as Mr. Sheffield. I'll swing at something over my head.

Bobby Bonilla

Wing Win Thing

I've been really picky about the sort of characters that I want to represent.

Bria Vinaite

Want T Sort

I'm not picky; I'll get it how I can take it. Submission, KO - whatever it is, if it has me winning, I'll take it.

Brian Ortega

Winning Win Whatever

I'm pretty tough and picky when it comes to actors that I admire.

Brie Larson

Tough T Pretty

I'm definitely picky about what projects I take on. They have to be things I'm passionate about. I actually get to be creative when it comes to my mobile game. It's really cool.

Britney Spears

Cool Things Thing

I don't like to leave my children for long periods of time. It's made me more picky about roles that are close, especially on television.

Brooke Shields

Time Vision Tim

I'm a mac and cheese freak. Homemade or from the blue box, I'm not picky!

Candy Crowley

Home T Picky

I grew up eating anything at any time and going straight on court. So I'm not really that picky.

Caroline Wozniacki

Time Up Tin

Before bed, I read a book or flip on the radio - I'm not picky, I'll just turn it on and see what comes up. I burn a yummy lavender- scented candle.

Carrie Underwood

I feel like I've been picky through the years and would do one movie a year or one movie every two years, and I want to work a lot more. So if I can find something that just happens right away as a director, I'll do it if I really love it, but otherwise, I want to keep working as an actor and getting better.

Casey Affleck

We incorporated new tastes and flavors into our kids' diets from a very early age, which helped to develop their palates and prevented them from becoming picky eaters. We don't buy junk food and give them options of fresh fruit, yogurt, raw almonds, or dried whole grain cereals for snack time.

Cat Cora

I'm very picky in what I wear.

Chandler Parsons

If you're picky, you have to learn about cooking.

Charles Oakley

I have never been particularly picky when it comes to what I'm putting in my hair. Most of it is just the genes I'm so fortunate to have inherited from my parents.

Charlie White

You can't really be picky and choosy for your first lead role.

Chris Zylka

I was an infamously picky eater as a child but also had an infamous sweet tooth. All I wanted was dessert for every meal of the day.

Christina Tosi

I'm not too picky. I'm not waiting, sitting around for the ideal and perfect role. I like to work, so I try to make the best of whatever opportunity comes up.

Christopher Lloyd

Plating your salad with groupings of ingredients may seem fussy but in fact it's the opposite. All the prepped ingredients go directly onto the platter, so no need to dirty a separate mixing bowl for tossing. Another reason we like this plating strategy? It allows the picky eaters out there to choose only the parts they like best.

Claire Saffitz

I'm not going to be very picky. If something comes to me and I want to do it, I'll do it.

Cobie Smulders

I'm not too picky about guitars. I love to collect them, mostly oddballs, but I'm not married to any brand or model. Whatever guitar has the best character for the song is the one I want to use, because if you've got a style, you're going to sound like yourself no matter what guitar you play.

Dan Auerbach

I'm not picky, quite honestly.

Daniel Day-Lewis

Any processed chicken from any place - I'll order it in a heartbeat. I'm very picky about my pork, though.

David Chang

It's important to read as much as you can because you never know when you will find the best script that you want to do next. I'm always quite picky in what I read and what I go for.

Douglas Booth

I am a picky eater. By that I mean, I love to pick the raisins out of oatmeal raisin cookies, the chips out of chocolate chip cookies, the white side off of black and white cookies, and the vanilla center out of Oreos.

Dylan Lauren

I have been considerably picky for somebody who's not a movie star, and sometimes I get frustrated.

Emily Meade

I'm a really picky eater.

Emma Roberts

Acting never was about the money for me... Maybe in 10 years, I'll be able to appreciate the fact that I am financially stable and independent and I don't have to make bad choices. I can be very picky.

Emma Watson

I don't let myself get upset about the little nitpicky things anymore.

Eric Shanteau

Don't we all think picky eaters are a pain in the rear end? The good thing about the holidays is that it's a buffet-style thing, so you can pick what you want. It's about filling your belly, not theirs.

Eric Stonestreet

I'm very picky when it comes to men. I come across a man who I'm really attracted to about once every five years.

Evangeline Lilly

I'm just a slow writer. I'm picky and careful and fastidious.

Frank Peretti

I'm not a programmer myself, but I am a very, very picky end user of technology. I like my machines to work they way they're supposed to, all the time.

G. Willow Wilson

Think about what makes a band burn out. They get too successful too fast. And then they take it for granted. And they get entitled. And they get picky. We don't ever allow ourselves that possibility.

Grace Potter

I think that there's not much point to being an actor if you're not enjoying it, so I try to be picky about roles I do like to go out for.

Grey Damon

We become like the five people we spend most of our time with; Oh, we've got to be picky, and you might have to fire a few people who don't belong in that inner circle because they can't help you be your best and further your purpose.

Harris Faulkner

Every since my wife, Adri, got pregnant with our now-eight-month-old daughter, Alicia, I regularly get asked what my plans are for feeding her. How can someone who writes about food and tests recipes for a living meet the picky and precise needs of an infant without losing his mind?

J. Kenji Lopez-Alt

Here's what I think, though this theory is hardly unique to me: Kids aren't picky because they really care about particular foods; they're picky because it offers one of the few opportunities in their heavily guided and chaperoned lives to express opinions and exercise control.

J. Kenji Lopez-Alt

I think a lot of people think it's easy to just post stuff. They think it's the easy way to fame nowadays, but it's been hard. You have to film the video, which takes forever because I'm super picky about all my takes and stuff. Then you have to edit it and upload it, and doing that three times a week is very, very difficult.
