I like to take every day just searching my own heart, making sure that I’m on course, and I’m doing what God wants me to do. I’m real good with not looking to the critics and looking straight ahead.
There are so many ways to heal. Arrogance may have a place in technology, but not in healing. I need to get out of my own way if I am to heal.
I created my own charity called My Peak Challenge. We’ve been able to raise hundreds of thousands of pounds. It’s helping change people’s lives, and I’ve had lots of wonderful letters about it.
We all have a cross to carry. I have to carry my own cross. If we don’t carry our crosses, we are going to be crushed under the weight of it.
I think I’ve been happy because I’ve been able to do what I believe in, and on my own terms.
I love you more than my own skin.
Part of the American dream is ‘I can own my own business, I can control my destiny. I can have the opportunity to work for myself.’
With my mask, I controlled all of the mouth movements with my own mouth.
I need to be agile because I do all my own stunts.
I would like to fly in space. Absolutely. That would be cool. I used to just do personally risky things, but now I’ve got kids and responsibilities, so I can’t be my own test pilot. That wouldn’t be a good idea. But I definitely want to fly as soon as it’s a sensible thing to do.
My life has been such a blur since I was 18, 19 years old. I haven’t even had time to contemplate my own life. By forcing yourself to write your life story you learn a great deal about yourself.
I love the freedom of having my own space and my own place and doing things on my terms, and not really having to think about anybody else’s schedule.
Clooney is just a pretty boy, man, and that’s it, OK? I carried him on my back long enough. I’m on my own.
In the past, it weighed on me because nobody in my family is gay. I had no role models so I had to find my own way.
I am extraordinarily patient, provided I get my own way in the end.
I would love to have my own fashion line because I love sketching.
I was about eight when I started tap dancing – against my own will. My mom wanted me to do it. She thought I would love it, and I didn’t believe her. I turned out to be obsessed with it.
My own interest developed because I thought it was a fascinating subject and something I wanted to pursue.
I think my music covers a broader sound than just ‘Tropical House’… My goal is to simply be a great producer in my own right without being pigeonholed.
I feel like, to me, art is a ladder to God, in my own opinion, you know. And so, for me, the more people that I can reach through many different artistic avenues, the better.
When I make a film, I am hoping to reinvent the genre a little bit. I just do it my way. I make my own little Quentin versions of them… I consider myself a student of cinema. It’s almost like I am going for my professorship in cinema, and the day I die is the day I graduate. It is a lifelong study.
Because of my own insecurities about the way I look, I do sometimes sabotage the looks of my characters by making them as homely as possible. I’ve never done a glamour part. I’d like to some day, though I don’t know if I could pull it off.
I now believe in God for my own ends. I’m not an altruistic Christian – I’m only doing it in case there is in fact a Heaven.
I don’t understand my own sporadic collapses into passivity. Perhaps I never will.
Sustainability goes across everything I do with Adidas and everything I do with my own house, so the Olympic kit is no exception. It is incredibly environmental in the way that it is manufactured. For example, there’s no leather; it’s free from PVC. There’s lots of woven materials, which means a lot less waste.
At my aunt’s funeral, I promised myself that I wouldn’t be bound by the belief that I’m supposed to stay in anything – whether it’s a relationship, a job, a house, or a circumstance – if it makes me miserable. She gave me the courage to find my own happiness.
I like cinema. I am very fond of it. But from time to time I feel like having some time on my own.
One’s dream is constantly evolving, rising and falling, changing course. This happens in every job, but because I have worked in comedy for twenty-five years, I can probably speak best about my own profession.
I get into a zone where I’m really in my own world when I make music.
I connect with people, but after sometime I need to be on my own.
I can spot empty flattery and know exactly where I stand. In the end it’s really only my own approval or disapproval that means anything.
I don’t have time for the news clippings. I got my own mission.
Remixes are so much fun. For me, it’s like this great release of energy. I like producing stuff for myself, but I also enjoy making music that wouldn’t really suit my own vibe.
I started photographing amazing African wildlife for my own pleasure. It was like a much-needed antidote to my life in the city, which I was fast becoming allergic to.
I am always at a loss at how much to believe of my own stories.
You are alive, but you should enjoy that while you can. I try to keep that same life philosophy of just enjoying the moments that come my way and not be the one that gets in my own way from making the most of the opportunities that I have.
I know the joy of fishes in the river through my own joy, as I go walking along the same river.
I’d walk over my own grandmother to re-elect Richard Nixon.
I’m Braun Strowman. You can’t put me in a category with anyone. I’m my own entity – there’s nobody else like me – so I’m going to continue going out there to be Braun. I’m no good guy or bad guy, I’m Braun.
Facing my own death brought an instant sense of clarity and purpose.
I’m a really fun aunt, so I hope I’m going to be a fun mom! I like to have fun and be silly and not take myself too seriously with the kids, so I hope that will translate when I actually have my own.
The memory of my own suffering has prevented me from ever shadowing one young soul with the superstition of the Christian religion.
Philosophically considered, the universe is composed of Nature and the Soul. Strictly speaking, therefore, all that is separate from us, all which Philosophy distinguishes as the ‘Not Me,’ that is, both nature and art, all other men and my own body, must be ranked under this name, ‘Nature.’
Then I realized that secrecy is actually to the detriment of my own peace of mind and self, and that I could still sustain my belief in privacy and be authentic and transparent at the same time. It was a pretty revelatory moment, and there’s been a liberating force that’s come from it.
Every time you achieve something, you want to go after what’s next. I’d like to see my own shows grow and someday be a headliner, fill up stadiums.
Mental illness lives all around us every day. I’ve seen it in other family members, I’ve seen it in friends, and I’ve dealt with it myself with my own postpartum depression.
I’m interested in women’s health because I’m a woman. I’d be a darn fool not to be on my own side.
My fashion sense is relatable but stands out because it’s my own.
I was an accomplice in my own frustration.
I have my own religion. I’m sort of one-quarter Baptist, one-quarter Catholic, one-quarter Jewish.
I want to have my own brand and there were things I couldn’t do because of the ‘Strictly’ brand and the time involved.
College is something I’ve always said I wanted to do, but you’re going there to get a piece of paper that says you can get a job, but if I’m already working steadily and doing good work, it makes you question your priorities. Right now, I’m in my own film college: filming a TV show.
I like to bring some hydrating face oils and de-puffing eye patches in case I get puffy on the flight. I also always am sure to travel with my own silk eye mask; it’s so necessary when trying to sleep on flights.
I have a very distinct memory of ‘ExciteBike’ and making my own courses. I had an obsession with that game.
All the aggressive actions I do to myself I would never dream of doing in my own life – I am not this kind of person. I cry if I cut myself peeling potatoes. I am taking the plane, there is turbulence, I am shaking. In performance, I become, somehow, like not a mortal.
I can understand a family that’s imploding. I have experience of that in my own life.
For my own part, I would rather excel in knowledge of the highest secrets of philosophy than in arms.
Football is a great love because I was born into a family of players and therefore born into football. I’m fortunate to have a style of play that a lot of people like. It’s a privilege to be able to do what I like best and in my own way, but I’m fortunate that people like it, and that motivates me even more.
I was a scared kid… I think I was born a nervous wreck, and I think movies were one way to find a way transferring my own private horrors to everyone else’s lives. It was less of an escape and more of an exorcism.
I take particular care in authenticity and specificity when working in cultures not my own. Every aspect of the filmmaking here was meticulously researched, and not just by me but across every department.
If you took some famous religious leader, for example, and said it would be nice to clone them indefinitely so you have a dynasty of leaders, my own guess would be that each time the cloning takes place, they would become more and more defective, presumably mentally defective and subsequently worse.
