10 QUOTES WITH «FANCIED»

Famous quotes and sentences with the word fancied.
1
Lauren Cohan
One of my really good friends in New York is a musician and looks just like Lindsay Buckingham. We always fancied ourselves the nice Fleetwood Mac.
2
Rob Delaney
In high school, I definitely fancied myself an intense guy, which is so lame.
3
Sarah Fielding
I fancied I had some constancy of mind because I could bear my own sufferings, but found through the sufferings of others I could be weakened like a child.
4
Rupert Grint
I've never fancied that footballer lifestyle. I suppose I could live that kind of flash life. People stereotype child actors and kind of expect you to go off the rails a bit, be a bit crazy, but that's not really happened yet. I've got a big family so that helps, and they live really close to the studios so it's just so much easier.
5
Colin Hay
It's great fun if you get a good piece of writing and you can pretend to be someone else, tell a story that needs to be told, make some kind of connection. I've always fancied myself as a leading man, but I really doubt whether anyone else sees me that way.
6
Dan Jenkins
When I was a lad in my 20s, as carefree and debonair as any other underpaid newspaperman, I happened to be a golfer who could flirt with par fairly often, and I was adventurous enough in those days to play any known or unknown thief who showed up at Goat Hills for whatever amount he fancied.
7
Christine Keeler
I enjoyed sex and indulged in it when I fancied the men.
8
Elihu Root
It is not uncommon in modern times to see governments straining every nerve to keep the peace, and the people whom they represent, with patriotic enthusiasm and resentment over real or fancied wrongs, urging them forward to war.
9
Luke Treadaway
When I was about 7, I fancied Anna Chlumsky; the girl from 'My Girl.'
10
Deborah Ann Woll
I always fancied someone might call me 'Red,' like Katherine Hepburn.
