The idea of someone not liking me or not liking my movie was always easier to deal with than someone really liking it. I don't know why.

Casey Affleck

Success is liking yourself, liking what you do, and liking how you do it.

Maya Angelou

Nothing, of course, will ever take the place of the good old fashion of 'liking' a work of art or not liking it; the more improved criticism will not abolish that primitive, that ultimate, test.

Henry James

I probably played too much on the left for my liking - I'm not that kind of player who is going to get the ball and run past the full-back. Of course if it happens, you've got to do a job for the team, and no problem. But I feel better - and think you get more out of me - playing me through the middle.

Gylfi Sigurdsson

Too many films today feel formulaic and familiar. I prefer it when the familiar is made to feel strange.

Nicolas Roeg

...people liking you or not liking you is an accident and is to do with them and not you. That goes for love too, only more so.

Edna O'Brien

Liking who you are and liking what you do can make you an incredibly successful person.

Suze Orman

Loving isn't liking and it takes liking to live together.

Susan Collins

Liking one person is an extra reason for liking another.

E. M. Forster

Remember when you were a kid and the boys didn't like the girls? Only sissies liked girls? What I'm trying to tell you is that nothing's changed. You think boys grow out of not liking girls, but we don't grow out of it. We just grow horny. That's the problem. We mix up liking pussy for liking girls. Believe me, one couldn't have less to do with the other.

Jules Feiffer

I never feel guilty about liking music.

Rivers Cuomo

One of the most insidious myths in American wine culture is that a wine is good if you like it. Liking a wine has nothing to do with whether it is good. Liking a wine has to do with liking that wine, period. Wine requires two assessments: one subjective, the other objective. In this it is like literature. You may not like reading Shakespeare but agree that Shakespeare was a great writer nonetheless.

Karen MacNeil

Sometimes it has to do with other longings that are much more existential. Sometimes you go elsewhere not because you are not liking the one you are with; you are not liking the person you have become.

Esther Perel

I went from really hating my body, to disliking it, to accepting it but not exactly liking it, then accepting it and liking it, and now I love it.

Jenni Schaefer

What is important for me is that people are liking my movies, I am liking my work, for which I am very happy.

Akkineni Nagarjuna

Art is art. You can take it or leave it. Liking it or not liking it does not make you a better person, and who you like or dislike results in the same thing.
