I lived with my mother all my life until she died, and I don’t really think I knew her, because I was always using her as my mother, if you know what I mean.
I’ve been a grant seeker all my life, but when I apply for one and get it, that means someone else doesn’t. I didn’t want to be a part of that anymore. I wanted to contribute to that pool and make it bigger.
When I get in there, I’m not really worried about scoring. I’m just worried about playing as hard defense as I can play, making my opponent work, and then I know the offensive end will open up for me. I’ve been a scorer all my life, so that’s what I try to pride myself on. It feels good.
All my life I had a rapport with black caddies.
When I heard his first songs, Dylan was answering certain questions that I had all my life been asking myself.
I was living and working with adult men who were playing a real art form. And I had been playing blues all my life. As soon as I formed my first band, we played Jimmy Reed stuff. So it wasn’t like I was a white kid who was learning the blues from B.B. King records.
By and large, I’ve been healthy all my life.
I’ve been an underdog all my life.
I simply loved all my life; loved is too strong a word, but I had a tremendous sentiment, partly conditioned, of course, by the reality of where I grew up, for the spirit of individualism, for the idea of your being on your own in a big way.
All my life I have been a nomad.
I lived all my life thinking the reason I was in care was because I was naughty. Because I was breaking and entering, pickpocketing, vandalism. I wasn’t party to any social workers’ reports.
Shahid is a paternal figure to me. He’s almost like a teacher. All my life, I’ve learned so much by watching him. I can’t possibly consider him as competition to me. In fact, I would say, we’re a team.
All my life, it’s been the same with men. Being a woman who is famous and adored by men is very hard for any boyfriend to handle. All my boyfriends end up insecure.
I’ve read comics all my life and have wanted to write a comic for as long as I can remember. Alex Barnaby and Sam Hooker seemed like the perfect team to make the move into the graphic medium.

I had to prepare hard for number four because that’s not where I batted all my life.
I have been a Christian all my life, but it’s impossible to be so deeply involved in these stories without it making you think again, and without it making you consciously aware of the people involved.
When the other kids started calling me nicknames, I knew everything was all right. I have a pretty big mouth, so they hit on that and began calling me Gatemouth or Satchelmouth, and that Satchelmouth has stuck to me all my life, except that now it’s been made into ‘Satchmo’ – ‘Satchmo’ Armstrong.
I have lived all my life as part of an ethnic conflict.
I wanted to play running back, but they would never put me at running back. I started loving receiver and as I kept growing older, we kept throwing the ball more and I kept liking it more and more. It’s something I’ve played all my life. It’s something I’ve gotten better at each year.
All my life, I’ve had restaurants that were affordable.
I have learned that I am not built for conflict or controversy. I have also learned that, in all my life, I have never chosen a story. The story has always chosen me.
All my life, I faced sexism and racism and then, when I hit 40, ageism.
All I wanted was to be big, to be in show business and to travel… and that’s what I’ve been doing all my life.
There’s always going to be bumps in the road. There’s always going to be this and that, adversity. You just overcome it. It’s what I’ve done all my life.
Every summer, my grandparents would rent a house on Balboa Island. They had the house next to Bob Hope’s. I’ve been going down there all my life, to that whole area.
I’ve wrestled all my life.
All my life I have been the guy who always says, ‘Oh I think I read a thing about that and you know it’s actually true about that is yada yada.’ The reaction that I got when I would do that from people when I did that was not always good.
Do you lend books and DVDs to people? If so, don’t you always regret it? All my life I have forced books on to people who have subsequently forgotten all about it. Meanwhile, on my shelves sit many orphaned books loaned to me over the years by trusting, innocent souls – some as long ago as the Seventies.
All my life I’ve had the privilege to make my living with my imagination, and the most important thing has been to see my creative life grow. I was educated to do that and have lived accordingly.

I’ve been with Shakespeare all my life.
The great thing is to have been surrounded by stories all my life.

All my life I have fought corruption.
Out of my discomforts, which were small enough, grew one thing for which I have all my life been grateful, the formation of fixed habits of work.
Dressing as a woman meant I began to accept my body, and I enjoyed seeing women get jealous. They ask me how I get my waist this size; how I manage to walk in heels as if I’ve done it all my life.
All my life I have faced this awkwardness, as I almost sound like a guy. In fact, whenever I would call my friends, their dads would say, ‘Hold on son.’
All my life, I have lived in the chawls. They are my people.
All my life, I call myself wanting to be a lawyer because of Clair Huxtable. But the real dream was to be an actress.
Pharrell loves music. When I’m with him, it’s like I’m working with someone that I’ve known all my life, and we’re both there to make the sickest track we can.
Generally, all my life, I have had strong friction with life – I was a problematic soldier, I was kicked out of the army, I was in fights. There was something about writing that was a way of experimenting with this emotion.
In addition to my cousin, there were 30 or 40 guys I grew up with who became firefighters as well. So, I’ve been around firefighters all my life.
I’ve loved car racing all my life. I watch NASCAR regularly, and drag racing because we have Raceway Park in New Jersey. I think I got it from my father.
To not sing with an orchestra, to not be able to communicate through my voice, which I’ve done all my life, and not to be able to phrase lyrics and give people that kind of joy, I think I would be totally devastated.
All my life, the Republican Party has been my political home. Helping it succeed has been my work for decades. It was never perfect, but families never are.
Before all this happened, I always used to see my stammer as being a negative, all my life, but then when I went on ‘Pop Idol,’ and the first time I saw it on television, it was really, really bad, but also it made me stand out; it made people remember me. So for the first time in my life, it worked to my advantage.

I’ve been dancing all my life and studied at Joffrey Ballet when I was 13 and singing all my life.

I’ve been used by women all my life, fortunately.
The loss of my father marked my life. I’m 88 years old and I’m still mourning him because it’s such a drama for me. It was just after my bar mitzvah and it was so tragic. The effect on me, I carry it all my life.
I believe God has a path for me. He’s always had a path for me, and I’ve always been in the right place at the right time – not because of my efforts, but because of my preparation and because of the guides that I have, the mentors that I have, the spiritual walkers that I’ve had all my life.
I realized I’ve spent all my life creating a past.
Honest to God, all my life I have had such a fear of spiders. In fact, I use to have a reoccurring dream about one. Very clearly, it was black with a red head. It would sit up in the corner of the bedroom and when it started getting closer, I would wake up in a panic.
There’s freedom in being rigorously honest. I lied all my life.
Tiny slices, no frosting, forty-five minutes on the StairMaster: These are the conditions, variations on a theme of vigilance and self-restraint that I’ve watched women dance to all my life, that I’ve danced to myself instinctively and still have to work to resist.
It took me so long to get to the music, where that was what I wanted to do all my life. It took me so long to realise that it wasn’t really movies that I wanted to do, but to be on stage singing.
The comedy on ‘2 Broke Girls’ always comes from a place of love – it’s never mean. We’re a comedy, and we often go right to the edge. It doesn’t bother me. I’ve encountered this all my life. I’ve been made fun of all my life.
