I like to read books. I like to listen to music.
Haruki MurakamiI’m not a photographer, so I didn’t get into F-stops or ND filters or background, foreground, cross-light, all that stuff. But I was interested in the camera and the lenses. That’s the world that I’m moving in, in terms of acting and giving a performance.
Keanu ReevesI like to paint my own helmets. I design my own suit and boots, I like being unique in that way.
Lando NorrisI do things I love doing. Sometimes that is maybe going out to have a drink with friends, going out partying or whatever.
Lando NorrisI used to draw a lot. If my mother would ask me to do something else, I’d have a hairy conniption. I’d just go crazy.
Jim CarreyI’m not a nerd, don’t plan to be a nerd and read books – which I can’t do at all.
Virat KohliI like talking. I like acting.
Denzel WashingtonIf your man is a sports enthusiast, you may have to resign yourself to his spouting off in a monotone on a prize fight, football game or pennant race.
Marilyn MonroeI hate cameras. They are so much more sure than I am about everything.
John SteinbeckI didn’t like the way I looked in pictures – when I saw myself on a digital camera, I was like, ‚Eesh.‘
The WeekndYou can’t get a cup of tea big enough or a book long enough to suit me.
C. S. LewisI think everybody has something that they’ve been obsessed about in their lifetime.
Clint EastwoodThat’s the thing about pictures: they seduce you.
David ByrneI love to take, process and share photos – it fills me up.
Brene BrownI’m working on bringing the instant film camera back as part of the future.
Lady GagaMy biggest hobby is hanging out with my family and kids.
Joel OsteenBack in my days as a chemistry student, I used to be quite a technocrat. I was firmly convinced that scientists would have cornered God and photographed Him in color by 1951.
Kurt VonnegutI can’t play bridge. I don’t play tennis. All those things that people learn, and I admire, there hasn’t seemed time for. But what there is time for is looking out the window.
Alice MunroI loved photography and everybody said it was a crazy thing to do because in those days nobody made it into the film business. I mean, unless you were related to somebody there was no way in.
George LucasI don’t get bored.
Haruki MurakamiIn my work, as a writer, I only photograph, in words, what I see.
Charles BukowskiI have a mind to join a club and beat you over the head with it.
Groucho MarxI don’t race cars.
Dwayne JohnsonI couldn’t take pictures of green rolling hills.
David ByrneObjects in pictures should so be arranged as by their very position to tell their own story.
Johann Wolfgang von GoetheWhen I’m in my 50s, I kind of think I’ll want to be in a garden.
Taylor SwiftI have a little bit of that gamer spirit in me. I just don’t have the time to be a gamer. But in another life, I would be one.
J. ColeAt 13 years old, I realized I could start my own band. I could write my own song, I could record my own record. I could start my own label. I could release my own record. I could book my own shows. I could write and publish my own fanzine. I could silk-screen my own T-shirt. I could do this all myself.
Dave GrohlYou can be passionate about anything.
Jerry SeinfeldI always want to create and do things, or draw.
Billie EilishHe has no enemies, but is intensely disliked by his friends.
Oscar WildeI have a nice office. I have a nice house… So I’m not denying myself some great things. I just don’t happen to have expensive hobbies.
Bill GatesI probably would have retired years ago if I hadn’t found interesting things to do.
Clint EastwoodMadonna, I think, is the greatest visual musical artist that we’ve ever had. If you look at her photo log, the photographers that she was able to work with throughout her career framed her in the proper way. It was the proper context. It was that visual that made sure that everything was gonna cut through in a certain way.
Kanye WestI don’t like freeloaders; I don’t like people who are negative.
Anthony HopkinsThe first real thought that I had of something that I might do was to write for car magazines, because I always had a car thing.
Jerry SeinfeldYou’d be waiting 30 or 40 years for me to build a table. I have more than two left hands.
Jurgen KloppI love music, and after my first experience with movies, I can’t wait to do more.
RihannaI can’t play soccer, and I’m not a great swimmer. I won’t drown, but you won’t see me doing laps in a pool.
Michelle ObamaI got into science fiction by being interested in astronomy first.
Terry PratchettWhen you come to see a picture of mine, I want you to know that I’m not going to do anything that will make you uncomfortable. I want you to know that you won’t be disappointed in me.
John WayneHobbies are apt to run away with us, you know; it doesn’t do to be run away with. We must keep the reins.
George EliotI love a natural look in pictures.
Marilyn MonroeMaybe some people can wake up and play PlayStation all day, but that’s never been me.
Tom BradyI got my buzz from playing.
George BestBlack-and-white always looks modern, whatever that word means.
Karl LagerfeldWhen you work with kids, especially, you want to be ready to turn the camera on at a moment’s notice.
Clint EastwoodMicrosoft Research has a thing called the Sense Cam that, as you walk around, it’s taking photos all the time. And the software will filter and find the ones that are interesting without having to think, ‚Let’s get out the camera and get that shot.‘ You just have that, and software helps you pick what you want.
Bill GatesHe has all of the virtues I dislike and none of the vices I admire.
Winston ChurchillI’m always secretly the most pleased when a show just really, really looks good and when my camera guys are really happy with the images they got.
Anthony BourdainI like my fair share of board games.
Sunil ChhetriI always have a full-length mirror next to the camera when I’m doing publicity stills. That way, I know how I look.
Marilyn MonroeWhen I am playing baseball, I give it all that I have on the ball field. When the ball game is over, I certainly don’t take it home. My little girl who is sitting out there wouldn’t know the difference between a third strike and a foul ball. We don’t talk about baseball at home.
Jackie RobinsonI like having the digital camera on my smart phone, but I also like having a dedicated camera for when I want to take real pictures.
Jeff BezosI don’t like to be bored.
John KennedyTo describe my scarce leisure time in today’s terms, I always default to reading.
Jimmy BuffettActually, I hear a lot of rock music. My husband is a big rock fan.
Dolly PartonI’m definitely a Polaroid camera girl. For me, what I’m really excited about is bringing back the artistry and the nature of Polaroid.
Lady GagaI was going to go to a four-year college and be an anthropologist or to an art school and be an illustrator when a friend convinced me to learn photography at the University of Southern California. Little did I know it was a school that taught you how to make movies! It had never occurred to me that I’d ever have any interest in filmmaking.
George LucasI really wanted to be a model when I was little. I loved photography, and I loved being on camera. But I was short and chubby, so I couldn’t. Anyway, being an artist is way more interesting than just being a model because it’s about you and what you want to be. You’re not being treated like a clothes hanger.
Billie Eilish
