I'd prefer not to tell confidential information about future products.
I prefer theatre to television - you get to feel the love.
I don't know what would have happened to me as a writer if I had gone to England and shaped my life out of England. Of course, I will never know, but I think I prefer what did happen.
I prefer that we sit down and craft a bill that addresses the many challenges we face, not only domestically, but as a world leader.
I prefer the countryside to cities. This is also true of my films: I have made more films in rural societies, and villages, than in towns.
I prefer to have longevity. I like as great a variety as possible, hopefully to avoid getting stuck in one kind of character, having to do it over and over again. I seek to challenge myself as an actor - and at the same time support my family.
I prefer doing TV, where it can be different every time.
It is very reasonable to worry about the harm done by organized religion, and to prefer looser and more private arrangements.
I prefer that for my own satisfaction over radio, there's no audience. TV, there's no audience. I need the response of the audience, even if it's a silent response.
I don't think you could get anything worse than losing a child. I think if my child died, I would prefer it if I were dead.
I prefer to see a good exhibit sponsored by a brand than a bad exhibit due to lack of funds.
I prefer to remake flops. Dirty Rotten Scoundrels was a remake of a flop, and The Quiet American is a remake of a flop.
I'm not going to lie to you: I'd prefer not to go to the gym and not to run.
There are some actors who are very good at developing things, who have... 'things in the pipeline.' I am abysmal at that kind of thing, loathe it, and am a terrible planner. Unless I'm showing up on the set and acting, I prefer to have nothing to do with the actual business of being an actor.

Let me ask you: Who do you prefer, a clown organizing your menu - with all due respect to Mr. McDonald - or a chef? I do believe it's a very simple answer.
Some actors are better with words than me. I prefer to play it rather than say it - and keep people thinking.
Through the years I've found that I prefer live playing to recording. I still do lots of recording - but I treasure the live shows.
Everything depends on whether we have for opponents those French tricksters or those daring rascals, the English. I prefer the English. Frequently their daring can only be described as stupidity. In their eyes it may be pluck and daring.

I prefer intellect and charm.

I prefer Princess. I would love to be known as a diva later on in life when I've had far more experiences.
It sounds really arrogant, but my music's my favourite music ever. I prefer it to anyone else's.
