Every part I play is just a variant of my own personality. No real character actor, of course, just me.
Growing up, I never really felt like anything was my own. I moved a lot, and I never belonged anywhere.
‘Lucky Us’ ends with a description of a photograph of the novel’s fictional family. I could never get enough of my own family photo albums.
I still take advice from my mum on what clothes look good on me. I used to listen to her a lot more, but I’ve started to choose my own things from time to time.
I have no wish for a second husband. I had enough of the first. I like to have my own way to lie down mistress, and get up master.
Sometimes when I’m making a potato salad I don’t boil my own potatoes, I take them straight out of a can.
I wanted to be a marine biologist my whole life until I graduated high school. And even now, I’m still like, ‘Maybe I’ll just quit the biz and go to Santa Cruz and study marine biology and have my own research center in the Bahamas.’ Yeah, I’m sure it would be just that smooth.
An alcoholic father, poverty, my own juvenile diabetes, the limited English my parents spoke – although my mother has become completely bilingual since. All these things intrude on what most people think of as happiness.
For my own part, I wish the bald eagle had not been chosen the representative of our country. He is a bird of bad moral character. He does not get his living honestly.
Kindness is really important to me in finding my own prince – so are patience and a sense of humor. Without those qualities he’s no Prince Charming!
I still take a lot of pride in being able to write my own songs. My story’s coming from me.
You know, young actors say all the time, ‘Should I use my own life experience?’ And my response is, ‘What choice do you have?’
I’ve always used my own personal emotions and things that I’ve gone through in my life to build a character. The work that I do before a film feels almost like therapy, between me and whoever I’m playing.
I am very much my own person and my own artist.
I realized if I didn’t start talking to my relatives, asking questions, thinking back to my own beginnings, there would come a time when those people wouldn’t be around to help me look back and remember.
When I weed, I like to get off into my own head. For one thing, my wife plants and I have trouble telling which plants are weeds and which are my favorite plants. So I tend to hop around and grab the weeds that I know are weeds. So I don’t weed all that linearly. I tend to weed haphazardly.
American universities are so expensive. My family couldn’t afford to send me, so I took out student loans and had to pay my own way.
Whenever I see a mirror, I just look at myself, or when I see my own reflection, I quickly take a look; I won’t lie about that. But when I am in front of the camera, it’s just the character, not me.
It is impossible for me to estimate how many of my early impressions of the world, correct and the opposite, came to me through newspapers. Homicide, adultery, no-hit pitching, and Balkanism were concepts that, left to my own devices, I would have encountered much later in life.
To be allowed to come back to WWE is the greatest gift that’s ever been given to me. Back in the day, I never appreciated what WWE had given me, because I was in too much disarray and too confused about my own life. I let opportunities foolishly slip through my hands.
Often, I’ll do a quick workout in my hotel room consisting of exercises for the legs, glutes, abs, and arms with my own body weight. Also, I always have a jump rope, a medicine ball I can inflate, and a band in my suitcase. It’s a great kit to have for travel.
I have to switch my own mentality into a winning mode, not playing for myself or trying to be selfish.
I think that for me, personally, a lot of my choices have been to do with my own issues of not feeling safe as a child and feeling a sense of stability.
Retro looking stuff but a lot of these guys doing these shows are my age or younger. I was just disgusted. I hated being around that kind of thing. Not that it affected what I did because when it comes down to it I was doing my own show.
My style has always been my own, just like my flow and style.
I’m a really nice guy when you meet me, and that surprises a lot of people. I’m not that eccentric in real life – and certainly not that disrespectful. In my own time, I like to just chill out with friends and not get in people’s faces.
My own saying is: ‘Create the hype, but don’t ever believe it.’
It is my own firm belief that the strength of the soul grows in proportion as you subdue the flesh.
I’m not here to perform. I’m here to sign autographs. You have to wait till I come back with my own hand.
When I’m doing my own makeup, I just stick to a bit of black liner, some blush and a nude glossy lip.
I would be stupid not to be on my own side. But I’m a human being, too. And I’m on the side of human beings, rather than on the side of crocodiles.
One thing I hope I’ll never be is drunk with my own power. And anybody who says I am will never work in this town again.
As an artist, I gotta stand up to my own work.
My mind is my own church.
My own belief is that there is hardly anyone whose sexual life, if it were broadcast, would not fill the world at large with surprise and horror.
I’ll have to get people to write songs for me right now until my own writing comes around.
I like being a strong, independent woman, and to be honest, I was never afraid to be on my own.
I never understood why when you died, you didn’t just vanish, everything could just keep going on the way it was only you just wouldn’t be there. I always thought I’d like my own tombstone to be blank. No epitaph, and no name. Well, actually, I’d like it to say ‘figment.’
All the knowledge I possess everyone else can acquire, but my heart is all my own.
No, because I don’t want to hear what’s hot and feel I have to copy it. I’ll just make up my own thing.
My children have no prejudices at all. My own brother-in-law is Jewish!
I once read Updike after writing a first draft, and I wanted to put my own book on the fire. I’ve since learned to read utter crap while I’m writing: pulp is the thing.
My goal was, and still is, to write first, direct my own stuff whenever possible and control my own creative destiny.
I never took sheet music seriously. I could do better myself just by listening to other people and using my own intuition.
If you must tell me your opinions, tell me what you believe in. I have plenty of doubts of my own.
Stylistically, I love make-up. I love doing my own make-up and stuff, but clothes-wise, I actually didn’t ever really care. Initially the fashion world was more interested in me than the music world, which was strange when I first started singing.
All of my puppets have their own personalities, their own background, and they enjoy what they do. How they say things, sing things, how they talk. I kind of created them out of my own personality. They are all me.
I’m lucky because I have a job I love. I really miss being away from home, being in my own bed, seeing my animals and siblings, having my moms cookies. I have a couple cats. I got a kitten about a year ago and now Im going on the road so I wont see him for a while. I feel bad.
I’m a Gemini, so my mood always changes – one minute I’m dance-dancey, the next I’m in the corner minding my own business.
I can’t wait to have kids. I want so many. I want to adopt and have my own.
I only believe in what I see and hear with my own eyes and ears.
I have been a judge for 15 years and I’ve made up my own mind during all that time.
It is lovely, when I forget all birthdays, including my own, to find that somebody remembers me.
I’m not interested in dating. I like being with my own best friend, me. Certain women, particularly older women, cannot believe I like going to a social event by myself. But I do.
Philosophic meditation is an accomplishment by which I attain Being and my own self, not impartial thinking which studies a subject with indifference.
I never admire another’s fortune so much that I became dissatisfied with my own.
I will not accept an election result that is not my own victory.
When I am in India, I feel pampered. However, when I am In Georgia, I am on my own, as I have to cook and do things all by myself. However, that gives me an independent feeling.
I go by my own body type when it comes to fasting, which means that I would not follow some general advice or rule of thumb.
I got a job as soon as I could – 11 or 12. I started babysitting and then I got a part-time job at a pharmacy in England. I just remember loving the feeling of going out and buying my own clothes! I’d go bargain-hunting and get secondhand vintage stuff.
I now rely on a scanner, which reproduces the passages I want to cite, and then I keep my own comments on those books in a separate file so that I will never confuse the two again.
I believe in God, but in my own unconventional way. We’re not affiliated with any organisation, and I have no religious education of any kind, but I definitely have my own kind of ideas about it.
I just want to be the best that I can be, and I’m focusing on my own career.
