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.

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.

- Alia Bhatt

- Amanda Plummer

Path Over

I prefer the path of peace over war.

- Amar'e Stoudemire

- 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.

- 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.

I prefer intellect and charm.

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.

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.

- 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.

- 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.

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.
