I am happy that we are not favorites. To be very honest it's big pressure of being favorites. We were not favorites last time (in 2011) too but we played excellent cricket. Similarly this time, there are teams which play on those bouncy wickets like Australia and South Africa, and are probably bigger favorites than us. But we hope that with the type of resources we have we can do well.

Waqar Younis

I like to play non-cardboard characters. I try and bring out the many complex layers in the personality of the characters I play.

Kay Kay Menon

I always try to get as personal as I can with the characters that I play, which is a reason why I don't play a lot of characters.

Romany Malco

I don't think about the characters I choose to play, analytically or consciously.

Steve Buscemi

I don't play favorites with people. My basic philosophy is that the only way to make the world a better place is by bringing something beautiful to every single person you run into at every moment of the day, so how can you play favorites with somebody?

John Zorn

I consciously try to end my novels at a point where I won't have to wonder about my characters ever again.

Anne Tyler

I'm not a fan of gushing emotions. I think that probably shows in all of the characters I play. I try to reinterpret the characters in my style.

Song Joong-ki

I don't like to play favorites, and I do try to spread the ball around. But there's an old rule: You throw to the guys who get open in practice.

Peyton Manning

I like to read psychologist's books. 'The Monk Who Sold His Ferrari,' that's one of my favorites. Those kinds of books.

Ricky Rubio

I never know who's influencing me at any time. I mean, I can take a play by Brecht and adapt it, I'm consciously adapting that play, or, as I've done with the Greek classics, Euripides and Oedipus, and I'm consciously adapting that play. Whether it influences me or not, I think it's the critics, the analysts who have to decide that. Me, I don't feel that I'm under the influence of any such sources.

Wole Soyinka

I don't know where people got the idea that characters in books are supposed to be likable. Books are not in the business of creating merely likeable characters with whom you can have some simple identification with. Books are in the business of creating great stories that make you're brain go ahhbdgbdmerhbergurhbudgerbudbaaarr.

John Green

There are so many books I love for different reasons. For superhero stuff, I always go back to Alan Moore's 'Watchmen' or his 'Swamp Thing' run. Those are my two favorites, and there are indie books that I really love, like Eddie Campbell's 'Alec' books and 'From Hell.'

Jeff Lemire

I play characters, and I try to play them in a manner that's appropriate to the script. Physical movement and vitality of language is part of character.

Tommy Lee Jones

I tend to play strong characters and people just assume that I would want to play romantic comedies, which I would love to do, but there are other women that do it so great and they maybe couldn't do what I do, play the kind of characters that I play.

Carrie-Anne Moss

Just like how male actors get to play varied characters, I would also like to play characters that people don't normally see female characters portraying on screen.
