Love
Been
I would love to tell you that it's been absolutely perfect, that I've been a man that's been super Christian. But I've had mistakes, dumb things I've regretted, so it's not a perfect life. But it's one that has helped me make better decisions.
- A.J. Styles
I Am
Although
Although I am a Christian, I am not even close to perfect.

Read

- Adam DeVine
Feel
I Feel Like
With 'Girls'... I feel like there's an impulse to try to make it look better or neater or more perfect, and when I watch theater, television, movies, it's always the imperfection I'm always more attracted to.
- Adam Driver

Hands
The artist finds, that the more he can confine his attention to a particular part of any work, his productions are the more perfect, and grow under his hands in the greater quantities.

Father
Some
My father wasn't perfect. He had a temper. I took some of that. He would snap, but the older he got, he started calming down. He learned about life, but the thing that he taught my whole family was that family was the most important thing and, no matter what, if a family member needs you, you go and help them out; you get there.
- Adam Sandler
Sanctification
Believe in the doctrine of perfect sanctification attainable in this life.

- Adrian Rogers
Been
Very
I'm very open and honest, and I feel like it's important for women to hear that we're not perfect; none of us are perfect. And sometimes we aspire to have these ideas in our heads of what perfection is, and I probably would've been better off if I'd left myself alone.
- Adrienne Bailon
Minds
See
You can't make a perfect painting. We can see perfection in our minds. But we can't make a perfect painting.

Love
Through
I guess in America we're so sold on this ideal of the perfect, well-adjusted family that is able to confront any conflict and, with true love and understanding, work things through. I'm sure they do exist, but I never knew any of them.
- Alan Ball
Every Day
Weeks
Keep writing. Try to do a little bit every day, even if the result looks like crap. Getting from page four to page five is more important than spending three weeks getting page four perfect.
- Alan Dean Foster
Voice
Brilliant
Le Carre's voice - patrician, cold, brilliant and amused - was perfect for the wilderness-of-mirrors undertow of the Cold War, and George Smiley is the all-time harassed bureaucrat of spy fiction.
- Alan Furst
Inside
Through
Through a long and painful process, I've learned that happiness is an inside job - not based on anything or anyone in the outer material world. I've become a different and better person - not perfect, but still a work in progress.
- Alana Stewart
Funny
Love
We'll love you just the way you are if you're perfect.

Why
Without culture, and the relative freedom it implies, society, even when perfect, is but a jungle. This is why any authentic creation is a gift to the future.
- Albert Camus
Forward
Now
Man has now become an adjunct to perfect and carry forward these conquests.
- Albert Claude
Love
Some
That's the purpose of creative stuff: when you really love what you do, you have to know at some point, or points, you're not going to be good at it. That's just the process of learning. I can edit it and try to be as perfect as I can, but I'm still going to have my vulnerable spots and my weaknesses.
- Albert Hammond, Jr.
I Am
Admit
I will be the first to admit I am not perfect and I make mistakes.
- Alberto Gonzales
Want
Models
We seem to live a culture that doesn't want blemishes. The vision of most beautiful models... airbrushed in order to be seen as perfect, infects our notion of how literature should be written.
- Alberto Manguel
Like
Composers
Good writers are monotonous, like good composers. They keep trying to perfect the one problem they were born to understand.
- Alberto Moravia

Figure

- Alessandra Ambrosio
I Think
Show

- Alessandra Ambrosio
Feel
Professionals
I don't feel that comfortable being on the runway with a G-string. I shoot G-strings with Victoria's Secret, but on the runway... It's really about the moment. I work with professionals. Professional people make everything look perfect, they make everything that you're wearing look great, if it's in a picture or on the runway.
- Alessandra Ambrosio
Financial
Ahead
Trust-me companies are companies whose financial results gallop ahead of their businesses, companies with seemingly perfect control over their quarterly sales and profits. Companies whose financial statements are loaded with footnotes: companies that short-sellers often attack but rarely dent.
- Alex Berenson
Learn
Realised
Everything doesn't have to be perfect, I've realised. You can learn as you go.
- Alexa Chung
Financial
Tackling
Tax time is the perfect opportunity to jumpstart your spring-cleaning by tackling your financial to-do list.
- Alexa Von Tobel
Art
Means
To an engineer, good enough means perfect. With an artist, there's no such thing as perfect.
- Alexander Calder
Next
Painted
Why must art be static? You look at an abstraction, sculptured or painted, an entirely exciting arrangement of planes, spheres, nuclei, entirely without meaning. It would be perfect, but it is always still. The next step in sculpture is motion.
- Alexander Calder
Confidence
Poise
Charlize Theron is perfect. She holds herself with so much poise and grace. I don't know if she looks so good because she has the best body or because she has the confidence to feel comfortable in what she's wearing.
- Alexandra Daddario
Proud
Means
Bills ought to be passed with deliberation by committees. Change should be achieved in a bipartisan manner. Incrementally, day by day, we should reach a consensus - not perfect, by any means - but something that we can be proud of, nonetheless.
- Alexandra Petri
I Think
Very
I get very tired of books that feel emotionally empty. I would much rather have writers err on the side of being overly sentimental than not. I think that the perfect balance is a story that moves you without being maudlin, but I don't enjoy books that are empty of emotion and there's no connection to the characters.
- Alexi Zentner
Ego
Network
Reddit offers the opportunity for us as humans to connect on a much deeper, broader level because users have an alter ego and aren't tied to a social network of friends with whom they want to share how perfect their lives are.
- Alexis Ohanian
Content
Maybe
Maybe libertarians especially like Reddit because it is a perfect marketplace of content. Every Redditor is created equal, whether you're the highest karma Redditor or a brand-new Redditor with 10 karma points. No submissions or votes are more equal than others.
- Alexis Ohanian
Throat
Cut
I have a perfect cure for a sore throat: cut it.
- Alfred Hitchcock
Which
Wholly
Many things are unknown to the wisest, and the best men can never wholly divest themselves of passions and affections... nothing can or ought to be permanent but that which is perfect.
- Algernon Sidney
Dress
Achieve
Even though I try not to overthink and dress the way I want to, I admit that there's way too much pressure on female actors to look good. I'm well aware that I don't have the perfect body type. I'm constantly struggling with myself to achieve the perfect body.
- Alia Bhatt
Say
Meant
A perfect poem you can't pin down and say, 'This is exactly what it meant to me.' It's not a self-help manual.
- Alice McDermott
Singing
Doing
For me, doing a show, the excitement of singing live, and the possibility that you're not gonna be perfect - that's the thrill of it.
- Alicia Keys
Process
Social
Finding the perfect lookalike to work with is crucial and a lengthy process. We have our regulars, but we also use social media all the time to find people. It's amazing who you can unearth on Twitter.
- Alison Jackson
Love
Like
Growing up I used to love bands like Free and ELO and the Rolling Stones. When Robert Plant got in touch it made perfect sense to me.
- Alison Krauss
Going
Ever
But you're not necessarily ever going to be handed a script where you can say: it's all done and perfect.
- Alison Lohman
Have Fun
Like
I have two beautiful children and my husband. The perfect day for me is just to be with them and have fun. We like simple things, you know.
- Alison Sweeney
Next
Deal
When you ride fast and then rest for a bit, it causes a spike in your heart rate and helps your body deal with lactic acid. But you don't need to make it too complicated. Yorkshire is perfect because the hills work as intervals - you ride up them hard and then recover before the next one. Or you can just sprint to the next tree or lamppost.
- Alistair Brownlee
Voice
Perfect Job
When I started writing a business column 15 years ago, I knew I'd found the perfect job for myself. As a columnist I could pick my own topic, do my own analysis, say what I wanted to say and attribute it to myself. Best of all, I could write in my own voice.
- Allan Sloan
Perfect Man
Could
Obviously, if I could go back and change anything, I would be a perfect man. And I know there's no perfect man.
- Allen Iverson
Game
Career
If I could take back all the mistakes that I made throughout my career, I would have had a perfect career. I would have missed no shots. I would have made no turnovers. I would have went right instead of going left when I was supposed to, every game.
- Allen Iverson
Race
Very
Very rarely do you have a perfect race, and it's about overcoming your mistakes in the race and remaining composed.
- Allen Johnson
Life
Other
So the poet, who wants to be something that he cannot be, and is a failure in plain life, makes up fictitious versions of his predicament that are interesting even to other persons because nobody is a perfect automobile salesman.
- Allen Tate
Doing
Some
The idea of doing something that I've never done before, that presents a new challenge, that forces me to stretch in some way - that's kind of a perfect project for me, and especially something that has greater social, conversational ramifications. I mean what more could you want?
- Allison Williams
Been
Show
I auditioned for 'Girls' the fall after I graduated from Yale. The show has been amazing - as close to perfect as it gets!
- Allison Williams
Will
Am
I am not someone who thinks that a million products will mean that you'll look perfect.
- Allison Williams
Distance
Still
The 200 meters is my baby. To me, it's the perfect distance. It's still a true sprint, but it unravels more. You get to enjoy the race a little bit more than the 100.
- Allyson Felix
Always
Mommy
I was two years old when my mom put me in mommy and me classes. I always had a lot of energy so it was the perfect fit!
- Aly Raisman
Half
Yoga
I meditate in the morning, and my daughter will do it with me, looking like the most perfect little Buddha. I'll do ten minutes of yoga, then two to ten minutes of meditation. She'll sit there quietly half the time.
- Alysia Reiner
Play
Characters
I don't like to play characters that are too perfect.
- Amanda Seyfried
Boring
Perfect is boring.
- Amanda Seyfried
Spanish
Angeles
I realized how Latina I was, and then also, at the same time, how not Latina enough I was, because I'm born and raised in Los Angeles. I speak Spanish, but I don't speak perfect Spanish, not like a native speaker.
- America Ferrera
Always
Expected
No one is perfect, and criticism is always welcome and expected.
- Amitabh Bachchan
Center
Embraces
Our notion of the perfect society embraces the family as its center and ornament, and this paradise is not secure until children appear to animate and complete the picture.
- Amos Bronson Alcott
Makeup
Blank
Perfect isn't normal, nor is it interesting. I have no features without makeup. I am pale. I have blond lashes. You could just paint my face - it's like a blank canvas. It can be great for what I do.
- Amy Adams
Quick
Fit
We live in a social world now, and there's no denying the power that Twitter has yielded across all verticals. Sports is a perfect fit because fans are highly emotionally charged and things happen quick.
- Amy Jo Martin
Leave
Rather
I'd rather have a part where you walk into a room and you leave. That's perfect for me.
- Amy Sedaris
Your Child
Some
Don't worry about the room being messy! Everything can't be perfect - you have to let some things go, and it's better to actually sit down on the floor with your child than spend time worrying about having a perfect house.
- Andie MacDowell
Everything
You
You can't be perfect at everything.
- Andie MacDowell
Think
Bumps
I used to think everything had to be perfect, but now I know perfection doesn't exist - life comes with bumps and grazes.
- Andrea McLean
People
Mission
Americans are not a perfect people, but we are called to a perfect mission.
- Andrew Jackson
Rest
Bodies
Human beings and plants have co-evolved for millions of years, so it makes perfect sense that our complex bodies would be adapted to absorb needed, beneficial compounds from complex plants and ignore the rest.
- Andrew Weil
Play
Happen
Sometimes you're looking to play perfect tennis but it's not going to happen all the time and you have to accept it.
- Andy Murray
Effort
Tomato
The federal government has sponsored research that has produced a tomato that is perfect in every respect, except that you can't eat it. We should make every effort to make sure this disease, often referred to as 'progress', doesn't spread.
- Andy Rooney
Mind
Wait
A good plan today is better than a perfect plan tomorrow. Don't wait for an inspired ending to come to mind. Work your way to the ending and see what comes up.
- Andy Weir
Sustainable
Going
I don't believe that if you are going to build a long-term, sustainable brand that you can chop up every component part and expect everyone to have a perfect P&L.
- Angela Ahrendts
Within
Foods
The body is both a temple and a perfect machine. Our bodies have within them a healing potential, and we nourish this potential with the pure and simple foods found in nature.
- Angela Lindvall
Perseverance
About
Personally, I've learned about perseverance: when you hear the word 'No,' and when you hear rejection, that it's not always final. And that timing is everything, and you have to stay the course and just keep working hard and know that, when your time comes, that it will be sweet and that it will be the perfect time.
- Angela Robinson
Sports
Lives
I'm in the perfect position. It's a sports position and a political position where I can help better the lives of athletes around the world.
- Angela Ruggiero
Happy
Good
The side of fairytales I don't like is that they always have happy endings, that there's just good and evil, and things are perfect. But life is a little more complicated, and that's what I try to teach my kids.
- Angelina Jolie
Happy
Want
It's too easy to say that orange is happy and black is sad. To me, black is perfect. You can fill it with the emotion you want to express.
- Ann Demeulemeester
Artist
Which
I am thrilled to be working with Alex Sanchez as the artist on 'Katana.' His work is wildly eclectic, exciting and powerful, yet slyly humorous, which is a perfect match for Katana.
- Ann Nocenti
May
Always
It may look perfect, but that's one thing I have learned about life is that it isn't always what it looks.
- Ann Romney
Need
Out
I continue to wish that writing were easier, that it would flow out completely perfect with no need for revisions.
- Ann Turner
Girl
Always
I always tried to be the perfect little girl. Always tried to have the perfect little manners. Never wanted to displease my parents.
- Ann-Margret
Doing
Say
There are times when you're working with film people when you have to say, 'If the camera were on you, what you're doing would be perfect'.
- Anna D. Shapiro
Mistakes
Back
Abraham wasn't perfect. He failed, made mistakes. But, he would go back, get right with God, and then just keep moving forward. He didn't quit when things got hard. He just kept on going. And everywhere he went, God was there. God was with him.
