- Adam Scott
Maybe
Everybody
In our generation, everybody told us that it's really important and it's nice to be able to speak a lot of languages. It's an art, too. It really impresses me, people who speak, like, seven languages. I admire them so much, so I began with English, and then Spanish and maybe Portuguese.

I Think
Toronto
I think professionally I admire people and the way they've handled their careers and being in the media.

- Anna Silk
I Think
I See
When I look at women, older than I am, in their 50s, 60, 70s, 80s, and I see women that I admire, I think, 'Oh, I get it; that's how I'm going to be.' I'm not scared. I want to be that.

Planet
Use

Own

Some
Anybody

Before
The people I admire unreservedly are my parents. They are the real pioneers of Africa in many ways. They were born and raised in rural Africa during the colonial period. They are the ones who came to the U.S. long before I did.
- Dambisa Moyo
Game
Tell
Now, I admire The Sims as a game, but from a story viewpoint, there are two glaring problems. First, your relationship with those characters is like they're bugs in a jar. There's no empathy. And secondly, you've got this clunky, chemistry-set interface between you and them, with bars to show how tired or angry they are. It's all tell not show.
- Dave Morris
Most
Steadfastness
The quality I most admire in a man is steadfastness.
- David Mamet

I Think
Guy
I don't aspire to write like Steve King. Sure, I admire his work, and I think he's a hell of a nice guy; we met shortly after my first Stoker win. I aspire to write like Jonathan Maberry.
- Jonathan Maberry
Tell
Billy
I can tell you the actor who I admire the most. Billy Crudup. Do you know who he is? He's awesome.

Always
Willing
Something I always admire, especially in female comedians, is that they're willing to make themselves look terrible.
- Jorma Taccone
Doing
Go
There's a lot of actors that I admire because they can just switch one second into the character. Then, they go back to jokes, and then they're doing something really dramatic. I can't do that. I have to really focus.
- Juan Pablo Di Pace
Love
About
When it comes to babies and children and being a mother, there is so much to talk about. There are products that I keep discovering - endless products! People love to read about these things. And I interview cool mothers, mums with babies, and mums with teenagers... all mums who I admire.

Understand
Always
You always admire what you really don't understand.
- Blaise Pascal
Newspaper
Use
A good column is one that sells paper. It doesn't matter how beautifully it is written and how much you admire the author... if it doesn't sell any papers, it's not a good column. It's a terrible yardstick to use, but in the newspaper business, that's the whole thing.

Doing
Through
One thing I've learned through all the ups and downs is that if you're doing things right, then you have a core group of people.

Excellent
Them

- Horace Walpole
Other
Very
I always admire the French and the Italians who are very devoted to their marriages. They take them extremely seriously, but it is understood that there might be other visitors at 5 o'clock in the afternoon. You just never boast about. They never say anything, but that's what keeps marriages together.

Other
Immensely

Love
In My Opinion
I would love to work with Johnny Depp. I really admire him as an actor, and personally, in my opinion, his portrayal of Captain Jack Sparrow is one of greatest performances given by an actor. I love his creative sense and the way he creates a character, so it would be a dream come true to work with him.

Me
Blindly
If you're blindly loyal to me, then you're just acting like a crony of mine. If you say you admire me because of the principles for which I stand, I understand that, but then you also have the right to call me to the carpet when you think I'm falling short.
- Jamie Dimon
Both My Parents
Both my parents were immigrants, as were many of their friends, the parents of the children with whom I grew up. Of course I respect and admire immigrants and their undeniable contributions to America, as we all should.
- Jan C. Ting
Love
Caught

- Diego Della Valle
Church
Repair
The Church is not an automobile showroom - a place to put ourselves on display so that others can admire our spirituality, capacity, or prosperity. It is more like a service center, where vehicles in need of repair come for maintenance and rehabilitation.
- Dieter F. Uchtdorf
Voice
Had
They would wake me up when I was sleeping, and say sing a song for our friends. I had a sweet voice, I had a nice little tenor voice. God knows what I sang, but my whole family would admire me.
- Dominic Chianese

More
Considered
She did not admire him any more than she had. It was merely that she considered him the Lesser of two evils.
- Edgar Rice Burroughs
Michael Jordan
Been
I hate to say it's not a Laker but Michael Jordan. He's been the greatest player I've ever seen. And I'm probably a harsh judge of talent in the sense that I admire players that are really good defensive players and really good offensive players.
- Jerry West
Lot
Careers
I admire a lot of actors, but I don't covet people's careers.
- Jesse Spencer

About
You can tell a person's morale from their Twitter feed. I like that; it's so honest. And I like being able to follow people who I respect and admire, and the possibility of them seeing my comment about them.
- Jessie Cave
Good
Held

Young
Move
I do not admire young actresses whose foreheads cannot move.

Hero
Private
It's a cliche, but John Lennon is my hero. He was so rebellious, so outspoken and so publicly opinionated, and I'm someone who's so private. I suppose you admire people who have the qualities you wish you had.

Happiness
Desiring
The secret of happiness is to admire without desiring. And that is not happiness.
