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

If success is really dependent on someone liking you or not liking you, and you have to teeter on that kind of tightrope of how you're supposed to act and how you're supposed to look and who you are, it's just not a healthy way to live.

Ellen DeGeneres

...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

Liking one person is an extra reason for liking another.

E. M. Forster

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

Susan Collins

Success is liking yourself and what you do because if you like yourself, you are happy with who you are and how you live and what you do.

Ryan Higa

It's funny how you can go from hating a girl to maybe liking her, maybe liking her a lot, just because she shows a little interest in you.

Louis Sachar

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

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

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

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

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.

Trent Zelazny

With a movie, the die is cast. It is what it is. With TV, it's a living organism in a way. Fans can have input, with the whole social media thing, and they can track what fans are liking and not liking.
