10 QUOTES WITH «MORE»

Famous quotes and sentences with the word more.
1
Mario Balotelli
There are two metaphors for Mario the person and not Mario the footballer. I think I am a man, but I don't believe I need to say it. But I could also be Peter Pan because I do things my own way and I am free. So, yes, maybe I should say that I am Peter Pan - although I am much more of a man.

3
Adrien Brody
What guides me is to do work that's more avant-garde - things that I think are special. You can easily become a celebrity and get caught up in all that blur. I just want to work and surprise myself.

8
Chespirito
Nicknames are the most essential in life, more valuable than names.
