Quotes About Interested

I haven't been offered a part that truly inspires me to take time off, though.

God is not interested in what you think you should be or feel. He is not interested in the narrative you construct for yourself, or that others construct for you.

The interesting thing about the religious component, for me, is that Jesus hardly mentions sex at all. He's pretty interested in the poor, he's pretty interested in selling your worldly goods and storing up riches in heaven. However, religious fundamentalists have made it all about sex, and that's like saying, "Look at the sex and we're just not going to talk about what you may be doing in a financial way that is sinful."

It's hard to tell with these Internet startups if they're really interested in building companies or if they're just interested in the money.

I was never too interested in high school. I mean, I never went to a dance, I never went out on a date, I never went steady. It became pretty awful for me. Except, of course, I could go see bands, and that was the kick. I used to go to Cleveland just to see any band. So I was in love a lot of the time, but mostly with guys in bands that I had never met.

I had, uh, bigger things in mind.

I actually really care about those issues, and I'm driven to understand how it works.

The Gospel writers are not really interested primarily in the facts of the birth but in the significance, the meaning for them of that birth just as the people who love us are not really interested primarily in the facts of our births but in what it meant to them when we were born and how for them the world was never the same again, how their whole lives were changed with new significance.

The men who are not interested in philosophy need it most urgently: they are most helplessly in its power.

A small handful of men: the philosophers. Others follow their lead, either by conviction or by default.

Science fiction is a weird category, because it's the only area of fiction I can think of where the story is not of primary importance.

The most intimate, the most delicate, and the most intriguing relationships are those within a family.

I want to keep myself freaked out all the time. Hence the title of the record, I Like To Keep Myself in Pain.
