Whatever it is that the government does, sensible Americans would prefer that the government does it to somebody else. This is the idea behind foreign policy.

I've never tried to emulate anyone. I've never idolized people, I prefer instead to get off on attitudes.
I prefer to call the most obnoxious feminists what they really are: feminazis. Tom Hazlett, a good friend who is an esteemed and highly regarded professor of economics at the University of California at Davis, coined the term to describe any female who is intolerant of any point of view that challenges militant feminism.
Cannibals prefer those who have no spines.
I love TV. I know all the theme songs from the shows I watch. I'm not one of those who'd rather be a movie star. I prefer TV because of the rushed way of working-on a movie set, you sit around and wait and wait to do a scene because they're adjusting the lights.
They're just actors. I much prefer the real thing!

For my own singing, I used to be attracted by the baroque, the flashier the better, but now I prefer a simpler, purer style.
I think there are two ways to depict a family. One is what it's really like, and one is what the audience would like it to be. Between you and me, I think the second one is what I would prefer.

Well, there are certain foods that I prefer not to eat because they're just such a jolt to the system.
Some people see life as a game of chess, while others prefer to see it as a game of cricket; but the longer I live, the more I think of it as a game of Consequences.
It is our best work that God wants, not the dregs of our exhaustion. I think he must prefer quality to quantity.
Timid men prefer the calm of despotism to the tempestuous sea of liberty.
Too many films today feel formulaic and familiar. I prefer it when the familiar is made to feel strange.
That's why I do what I do, and that's why I wanted to be an actress from the time I was six years old. If I can't effectively move people, then I would prefer not to do it.

What I'm doing, I prefer to call that jazz, because it is a beautiful word - I love it.
I have a boy's body. I would prefer to have more curves because I think that's more beautiful. I would much rather have J. Lo's body than mine.

I won't wear fur - never, ever. I'm an animal lover. I wouldn't even wear faux fur. I prefer to go the cheap route and not shave my legs.
I never chose to be in Russia, and I would prefer to be in my own country, but if I can't make it home, I will continue to work very much in the same way that I have... What happens to me is not as important; I simply serve as the mechanism of disclosure.
I think many people with a chronic illness would prefer not to have their chronic illness, simply because it's high maintenance.
While it's very hard to know exactly how to measure public opinion there, because there's no really good polling, the fact of the matter is that in all the polls I've seen the vast majority of the Iraqis prefer to be free and are pleased that the coalition freed them.
I prefer doing interviews where people don't have to interpret what you say. I'm going to be real honest.
