I try not to interpret things of the world into a single meaning. Rather, I try the opposite.

Kim Ki-duk

We need to interpret interpretations more than to interpret things.

Michel de Montaigne

An actor and a [theatre] director are both what I would call interpreters of work. We interpret a work, just as a musician will interpret a composer's work, we interpret the work of a playwright. We are servants of the theatre and I've always believed that. We must serve what has been written, that's what we're there for.

George Ogilvie

I always try to leave songs open for people to interpret in their own ways.

Ryan Bingham

I didn't want to become this stiffened - and that was just a personal choice, at that time. And, the idea was also to go to film first, get enough notoriety in film that I could interpret some of the opera stuff the way I would want to interpret it.

Robert Davi

I don't know why I feel the need to try and do everything. But I kind of have this mentality that you live once, and I have a lot of things that I want to do and there's a lot of things that I want to try. So I have to at least give it a shot before I don't try at all or like, give up on things.

Eric Nam

I always really curious to see how people interpret things. I know my version, and I'm kind of bored with my version so I want to see their version.

Chuck Palahniuk

I was kind of sweet kid, according my mother, and my recollections. Thoughtful and good, but kind of alone - although I didn't interpret it that way, as such. Children never interpret these things. They think they understand logically.

George Carlin

I try to do things in one take, but doubling rhythm parts is always difficult, especially if you want things to cut the way I want them to cut.

Dimebag Darrell

That I want to try in life? There's a lot of things I want to try. There's never enough time to try anything. I would love to have a hobby. I have no hobbies.

Tori Spelling

I sometimes wonder, the tendency for anybody, especially when you're with friends and you're in the trenches, is to laugh at the stuff that you interpret as ridiculous or silly, and to grouch about the things that you interpret as not being good. That to me isn't morale, that's just like getting through the day.

Christopher Daniels

It's always a really great thing to have an actor that does make you want to up your game. It naturally motivates you to do and try things that maybe you wouldn't necessarily do or try.

Johnny Galecki

My next film is always shaped by the last one... by the things I feel I didn't get right, or the things I like and want to try to develop further, but it always comes out of the last picture.

Robert Benton

I surround myself with positive, happy people. And I always try to balance things that I have to do with things that I want to do.

Nina Agdal

Some of my best experiences are with writer/directors. Guy Ritchie is one. I feel they have a clearer view of what they want to do. They haven't got to try and interpret someone's writing; it's all theirs. I really admire that.
