We proclaim human intelligence to be morally valuable per se because we are human. If we were birds, we would proclaim the ability to fly as morally valuable per se. If we were fish, we would proclaim the ability to live underwater as morally valuable per se. But apart from our obviously self-interested proclamations, there is nothing morally valuable per se about human intelligence.

Gary L. Francione

I'm not a superstar, per se... but I'm a musical creator - a producer in the same vein as what Quincy Jones was, or Pharrell and Timbaland were.

Rebellion per se is not a virtue. If it were, we would have some heroes on very low levels.

Norman Thomas

I had that extroverted energy, and I always involved myself in quite adult conversations. My mum never hid us from that. There was never a kids' table; we were never treated as kids, per se, because I don't think she believes in that.

Taylor Swift

I don't practice per se. I learned to play on my own, taught myself how to play. I've never really had a lesson, and I don't read music. So all the stuff that I do doesn't come from the normal set of disciplines that they teach you where you sit down and run through scales for a particular number of minutes a day.

Lindsey Buckingham

I was never really a virtuoso guitar player per se.

Mick Jones

I never was a big believer that you can teach writing per se.

Elizabeth Berg

I don't have any special approach for playing dark characters. That's because I never looked at them as dark characters per se. For me, they were real people.

Tabu

Well, I've never looked upon myself as being a beauty, per se.

Cate Blanchett

I don't know anyone who would be exclusively working on game music, per se.

Nobuo Uematsu
