Politics
Politician

- Abbas Kiarostami
Custom
Use
I use Gibson guitars; I prefer the Les Paul custom.
- Adam Jones
Civil War
New

- Adam Sandler
Studio
Other
I generally prefer to come in to the studio with a fully written song and then work on the arrangement with the band. Sometimes even the arrangements are pretty much already worked out in my head, but other times we experiment.
- Adam Schlesinger
Next
Year
Of how much real happiness we cheat our souls by preferring a trifle to God! We have a general intention of living religion; but we intend to begin tomorrow or next year. The present moment we prefer giving to the world.
- Adoniram Judson
Work
Everyone
I prefer a quartet, it makes everyone work harder.
- Adrian Belew
Good
Next
It's my personality to be more quiet and reserved. I'm not going out every night to multiple things. I prefer to stay in and be with my children and do Spanish homework to make sure they get a good grade the next day.
- Aerin Lauder
Love
Conquered
It took me years to actually get comfortable on the stage. I prefer the intimacy of screen; it comes easier to me. In theater, you have to be louder and bigger - that was harder for many years in my teens. But now I've conquered that. I eat up the stage. I love it.
- Aileen Quinn
Grow
Embrace
It's easy when you grow up in fear to act out of fear. I don't want to embrace that fear; I prefer to be kind.

Grow
New
In general, great companies prefer to grow 'organically,' as Wall Street likes to say. That is, from the inside out, by finding new markets or by taking market share from their competitors.
- Alex Berenson
Body
Sportsman
In England, it's a rare thing to see a player smoking but, all in all, I prefer that to an alcoholic. The relationship with alcohol is a real problem in English football and, in the short term, it's much more harmful to a sportsman. It weakens the body, which becomes more susceptible to injury.

Films
I prefer to write music for family films. I like people.

Been

- Alia Bhatt
Tell
Idea
When employers tell me they prefer married men, and encourage their men to have homes of their own, because it makes them so much steadier, I wonder if they have any idea of all that that implies.
- Alice Hamilton
World
Criticize
I prefer to praise people and the world rather than criticize them and it.
- Alice Walker
United States
When more Americans prefer freebies to freedom, these great United States will become a fertile ground for tyranny.

Them

Go
Personally

- Amanda Hearst
Love
About
I prefer theater, but I love to do films, and I prefer theater primarily because I've done more. I know less about movies. You can't lie in either medium. The wonderful thing is that the camera, just like an audience, is made out of skin - because celluloid is skin.
- Amanda Plummer
Path
Over
I prefer the path of peace over war.
- Amar'e Stoudemire
Supernatural
About

- Amy Childs
Like
Flat

- Andrew Davies
How Far
Fuel
The Nike Fuel Band is interesting - it measures your movements and how far you've walked and how hard you've worked that day. I prefer using when I travel. It's a fun way to see how far I've walked - how many steps I've taken when I'm walking around different cities.
- Andrew Luck
Bonds
Gentlemen
Gentlemen prefer bonds.
- Andrew Mellon
Foods
Some
Everyone prefers some foods over others, but some adults take this tendency to an extreme. These people tend to prefer the kinds of bland food they may have enjoyed as children - such as plain or buttered pasta, macaroni and cheese, cheese pizza, French fries and grilled cheese sandwiches - and to restrict their eating to just a few dishes.
- Andrew Weil
Beneath
Waits
I prefer winter and fall, when you feel the bone structure of the landscape. Something waits beneath it; the whole story doesn't show.

Play
Which
The Comedy Bar is an intimate club, which I prefer. I refuse to play theatres, because large empty spaces make me nervous, and I don't enjoy the echo. I'm no sell out. Literally.

Read

Death
Movie

I Think

- Angela Duckworth
Love
Happen
I prefer for things to happen serendipitously, but honestly, I also love terrible pickup lines.
- Angela Sarafyan

I prefer directing to acting. There is huge freedom that comes from being behind the camera. It brings a lot of responsibilities as well but is intensely rewarding.
- Angelina Jolie
Charm
Intellect
I prefer intellect and charm.
- Angie Everhart
Media
Marketing
Media companies' hit-focused marketing did not emerge in a vacuum. It reflects how consumers make choices. The truth is that consumers prefer blockbusters.
- Anita Elberse
Blondes
Gentlemen
Gentlemen prefer blondes.

Single
Lovely
It is quite lovely being single, and I much prefer it.

Need
Stores

- Anna Netrebko
Sometimes
Listen
I prefer it when the conductor follows me. It is more difficult to work with a conductor who does not listen - even if I understand that sometimes it makes sense when one person is ruling everything. But for bel canto, I have to have a conductor who listens and supports me.
- Anna Netrebko
New
Editor
After a series of jobs that I prefer not to recall, I was hired in the early eighties as fashion editor of 'New York' magazine.
- Anna Wintour
Like
Room Service

- Anne Lamott
Like
Made

- Anne Robinson
New
Read
I've cancelled all my subscriptions to poetry magazines. I prefer to read the 'New Scientist.'
- Anne Stevenson
Daylight
Although
Although I have two good Anglepoise lights, I much prefer to work by daylight.
- Anthony Browne
Still
Maybe
For the years I spent working on it, 'Constellation' was the only novel I knew how to write, so maybe I still abided by the maxim? Regardless, I prefer the maxim: Write what you want to know, rather than what you already know.
- Anthony Marra
Work Hard
Game
I have many aspects of my game I need to improve, and that's what I am focusing on. I prefer not to say what they are in public - for me, it's a secret, and I just want to work hard.
- Anthony Martial
Play
Means
I prefer to play up front, but if the coach puts me on the wing, then that means it is better for the team, and for me, that is the most important thing.
- Anthony Martial
Games
Many

- Antoine Griezmann
Mind
Movies

- Anushka Sharma
Young
Always
I did babysit a little bit when I was young. I prefer babysitting for babies. I always loved babies. I was not as great with kids that wanted to be entertained and that wanted to talk.
- Ari Graynor
Think
I Think
I prefer to stay with Likud. I think I have to be in the party I managed to build.

- Armaan Malik
Shelter
Tend
I tend to prefer the shelter of fiction.
- Armistead Maupin
Fact
Vague
Usually in France we prefer to say bad things about the Nouvelle Vague, but I'm always impressed with its freedom and the fact of not making a film to give your opinion but just as a piece of art, which to me means the Nouvelle Vague.
- Arnaud Desplechin
Movies
Back
I don't storyboard. I guess it dates back to my days in live television, where there was no possibility of storyboarding and everything was shot right on the spot - on the air, as we say - at the moment we were transmitting. I prefer to be open to what the actors do, how they interact to the given situation.
- Arthur Penn
Nature
Fancy
I consider it useless and tedious to represent what exists, because nothing that exists satisfies me. Nature is ugly, and I prefer the monsters of my fancy to what is positively trivial.
- Charles Baudelaire
Dress
Like
'We really shouldn't look like a church.' I've heard that so much I want to vomit. 'Why?' I ask. 'Do you want your bank to look like a bank? Do you want your doctor's office to look like a doctor's office, or would you prefer your doctor to dress like a clown?'
- Charles R. Swindoll
Focus
I Think
I think a lot of artists get confused when people like their music; they think that means people know and like them. I'm sure there's an element of truth to that, but to me, the music I make is what I'm most proud of. I prefer to focus on that and for people to focus on the music, too.
- Chet Faker
Makeup
Keep
For makeup, I prefer to keep it simple for the daytime.
- Chiara Ferragni
Hair
Natural
I strongly prefer to keep my hair loose and wavy, leaving it as natural as possible.
- Chiara Ferragni
Making
How
I prefer making stuff to talking about how I made the stuff.
- Chris Milk
Like
Depends
It depends on various things like if the promoters want to have a break so they can sell more T-shirts and booze, then they ask if we can do an interval. I personally prefer not to do that. Once you get onstage, I like to stay there.
- Chris Squire
Process
Think
I didn't have any expectations with 'Traveller' - I don't think anybody did. That's how I prefer the process to be.
- Chris Stapleton
Imagine
Read
I prefer to imagine that my wife, a few friends, and occasionally my mom are the only ones who read what I do, though I realize that this is somewhat unrealistic.
- Chris Ware
Ahead
Checking
I kind of prefer to be sort of ahead of the pack checking things out, priming the canvas, if you will, for the younger guys that are going to come up and try to make their own statements about what they feel and what they have to contribute.
- Christian Scott
Always
Symbolic
I prefer tailored clothes. I always have. But I find that whatever I wear, people see it as charged with symbolic meaning.

Love
Other
I don't like trainers, because we distract each other. We talk too much, and I get too friendly. I prefer classes instead. I love Physique 57.
