Copy

Copy
The diet is a twisted, noxious thing, all tortured abstinence and short-term fraud. I speak from bitter experience. As a restaurant critic, I eat to live and live to eat. And having a toxic aversion to exercise, there is little to prevent the inevitable bulging of my gut. Hence the need for the occasional diet.Tom Parker Bowles
Copy
Once you're sort of pigeonholed into something, it's quite difficult to get out of it. I have no aversion to playing a gay character again, but it would definitely have to be the right role.Sarah Shahi

Copy
The funniest thing is not who influenced me positively, but who influenced me negatively. I had such an aversion to what Busby Berkeley did; in my early formative years, I thought it was terrible. Now, I think it's wonderful. But then, I wanted to do anything but what Busby Berkeley did.Stanley Donen
Copy
I have an aversion to news nuggets, so I find myself looking for sites that offer more analysis.Jeff Moss

Copy

Copy
I was assigned to the Waffen-SS but was never involved in any crime. Besides, I always felt the need to write about my experiences in a larger context one day. This has only developed recently, now that I have overcome my inner aversion to writing an autobiography in the first place, specifically one having to do with my younger years.Gunter Grass
Copy
Our aversion to lying is commonly a secret ambition to make what we say considerable, and have every word received with a religious respect.Francois de La Rochefoucauld

Copy
I think there's a certain paranoia about science because there is a certain risk related to science which people are very wary about, and therefore, there is an inherent risk aversion to science and technology or, at least, science and technology of unknown.Kiran Mazumdar-Shaw
Copy
I didn't enjoy the bio major - it's not my passion clearly. But I have an aversion to quitting.Ego Nwodim
Copy
Justified or not, the Supreme Court has a kind of sacred status in American life. For whatever reason, Presidents can safely run against Congress, and vice versa, but I think there is an inherent popular aversion to assaults on the court itself. Perhaps it has to do with an instinctive belief that life needs umpires.Jon Meacham
Copy
