I had a connoisseur's... appreciation of fear.

Peter Straub

I'm not really a food connoisseur.

Aasif Mandvi

One great pleasure of being an academic is the ability to trade in ideas with your colleagues and students; it is not much fun being the only connoisseur of some fine point.

Abhijit Banerjee

My father was a great connoisseur of music and arts. He said, 'I will encourage you in anything you do, but make sure you get a solid education.' So, I studied in the finest schools and went on to become a qualified barrister but didn't take up law because my music was my area of interest.

Adnan Sami

I'm an absolute connoisseur of cheeseburgers and like to think that I can detect even mere percentages of shift in fat content in ground meat in a burger and can actually name the temperature to which it was actually cooked to the degree if I'm, you know, really on my game.

Alton Brown

If 'Spectator Business' works, we will continue this brand extension strategy and look at everything from 'Spectator Arts' to 'Spectator Style and Travel' or 'Spectator Connoisseur.'

Andrew Neil

Usually, if you're going to be a manager, you always want to talk about football and be a connoisseur of the game.

Andy Cole

One of the main reasons I am so drawn to Hitchcock is that he planned his shots way in advance on story-boards, which he designed like classic paintings (he was an art connoisseur). It's why he found shooting on set boring - because he had already composed the film in his head.

Camille Paglia

I wouldn't say I'm a connoisseur of film. I like certain films, but I don't pretend to be a connoisseur of films, no.

Christopher Guest

Unless you are a born connoisseur of art, you will not be able to judge by yourself why certain art is superior to other art.

David Elliott

I'm not a wine connoisseur, but I do like a glass or two at night.

You may choose your words like a connoisseur, And polish it up with art, But the word that sways, and stirs, and stays, Is the word that comes from the heart.

Ella Wheeler Wilcox

I wouldn't say that I'm an Italian wine connoisseur. I do like red wine. I guess my favorites now are Bordeauxes. French.

Erik Larson

I don't think cricket is a game that people who have never played or been involved in understand the excitement. It's a game that is full of excitement, because cricket lovers follow the game and understand the basic principles and rules. They become connoisseurs of the game.

Garfield Sobers

Since I've been pregnant, I've lost my taste for fast food. I used to be the biggest McDonald's junkie and now I don't like it anymore. I used to be the biggest fast-food connoisseur, and now I've really lost my taste for it.

Holly Madison

Cats are connoisseurs of comfort.

James Herriot

I became a connoisseur of that nasty thud a manuscript makes when it comes through the letter box.

James Herriot

It's really funny seeing all these media depictions of me as an intellectual because I'm a connoisseur of low culture.

James Holzhauer

Ever since I was a kid, I've been a Fender connoisseur. And to have my name associated with greatness like that, it's amazing. I couldn't be more proud of anything. My children, and then being associated with Fender. In that order!

John 5

I'm a Telecaster connoisseur, and I love my Teles. I have one from almost every year since the very beginning, in 1950. I'm so obsessed with them.

John 5

Picasso said once when being interviewed that one should not be one's own connoisseur.
