Zitat des Tages über Verabscheuen / Detest:
I only really like to watch things like 'Time Team.' I'd rather be out walking the dog. It's all reality TV, which, as an actor, I detest.
I seldom have my stuff up unless I'm testing it. If I'm worrying about a painting, I put it up and see if I detest it quickly or slowly. Otherwise I have things by other artists.
I really detest movies like 'Indecent Proposal' and 'Pretty Woman' because they send a message to women that sleeping with a rich man is the ultimate goal and really that's such a small part of it.
Principally I hate and detest that animal called man; although I heartily love John, Peter, Thomas, and so forth.
I detest people who lie. I can't stand it.
I detest heavy perfume and shrill voices.
I am reconciled to my death, but I detest the mode.
For example, one way of giving yourself a strong incentive to reach your goal is to commit to pay money to someone if you fail. Better yet, you can specify that you will have to pay a certain sum to a cause that you detest.
I have three kinds of friends: those who love me, those who pay no attention to me, and those who detest me.
Pop music I have always loved best. But the more extreme, fascist-led examples of the music business I tend to detest the most.
Men love in haste, but they detest at leisure.
I do detest everything which is not perfectly mutual.
I never lecture, not because I am shy or a bad speaker, but simply because I detest the sort of people who go to lectures and don't want to meet them.
I hate imperialism. I detest colonialism. And I fear the consequences of their last bitter struggle for life. We are determined that our nation, and the world as a whole, shall not be the plaything of one small corner of the world.
Resistance is feasible even for those who are not heroes by nature, and it is an obligation, I believe, for those who fear the consequences and detest the reality of the attempt to impose American hegemony.
I detest racialism, because I regard it as a barbaric thing, whether it comes from a black man or a white man.
I like commas. I detest semi-colons - I don't think they belong in a story. And I gave up quotation marks long ago. I found I didn't need them, they were fly-specks on the page.
I fall into that nebulous, quote-unquote, normal American woman size that legions of fashion stylists detest. For the record, I'm a size 8 - this week, anyway. Many stylists hate that size because I think to them, it shows that I lack the discipline to be an ascetic; or the confident, sassy abandon to be a total fatty hedonist.
I detest life-insurance agents: they always argue that I shall some day die, which is not so.
I loathe and detest movies and television and don't watch any. I do not have the time.
I most often land up taking up the roles that I most detest.
How shall I lose the sin, yet keep the sense, and love the offender, yet detest the offence?
One thing I detest, I have to say, is when a shoe is too soft, and it's molding to the foot. This is quite disgusting. And I really, really hate incredibly long shoes, where the last is very pointy, almost like Aladdin.
Of course, I also hear from critics who detest what I do, and while sometimes I feel rather proud of having made various the loathsome people or groups angry, at other times I wonder why I put up with such grief.
Nothing induces me to read a novel except when I have to make money by writing about it. I detest them.
I loathe and detest heavy metal.
I detest politics, to be honest with you. It's a cesspool. And I don't think I would fare well in that cesspool because I don't believe in political correctness and I certainly don't believe in dishonesty.
Now hatred is by far the longest pleasure; men love in haste but they detest at leisure.
I am beginning to loathe & detest all that Hollywood represents.
I detest audiences. Not in their individual components but en masse... I think they are a force of evil.
As for my looks, if I didn't look the way I do, I would probably be one of those many faces doing a romcom, which I detest. The way I look has somewhere defined the characters I played. My weakness has become my strength.
I'm not wholesome at all. I detest homey things like cooking and bed-making and Peter Pan collars. I like to wear slacks and play golf.
I detest talking about myself. There is a reason why people pick up an instrument and put it between themselves and the rest of the world.
I detest computers. If you had a device like that 30 years ago that froze up constantly, misbehaved constantly, lost your information and screwed up when you needed it the most, it would have been laughable.
I deeply detest social distinction and snobbery, and in that lies my strong aversion to titular honours.
I think that's an incredible thing that we can do as actors - to feel empathy toward someone that you may otherwise detest, you know?
