Antwone’s story was a story of hope and that’s what appealed to me. I needed hope myself at that time. I think all actors give up at some time and think they’re never going to make it. – Derek Luke
I don’t like the slasher stuff, myself, but I do like the psychological horror of Roman Polanski and that world. But, it’s curious to me why people do like to be afraid. – Dylan McDermott
I myself have felt the wrath of the media, but that’s part of what a good democracy is. – Naftali Bennett
Having travelled to some 20 African countries, I find myself, like so many other visitors to Africa before me, intoxicated with the continent. And I am not referring to the animals, as much as I have been enthralled by them during safaris in Kenya, Tanzania and Zimbabwe. Rather, I am referring to the African peoples. – Dennis Prager
If it feels right and I’m not going against any energy in myself or the situation, there would be no limit. – Dana Plato
I find it a turnoff whenever men aren’t into some kind of sport. And, no, video games don’t count. I dated a guy who was into video games, and I wanted to shoot myself. – Eva Longoria
I don’t really try to get involved politically by giving money to politicians or by saying I’m a Democrat or Republican. Right now, I just view myself as an American. – David Rubenstein
One of my clearest, happiest memories is of myself at fourteen, sitting up in bed, being handed a large glass of warm buttermilk by my mother because I had a sore throat, and she saying how envious she was that I was reading ‘The Catcher in the Rye’ for the first time. – David Shields
There’s only one requirement of any of us, and that is to be courageous. Because courage, as you might know, defines all other human behavior. And, I believe – because I’ve done a little of this myself – pretending to be courageous is just as good as the real thing. – David Letterman
My work generally tends to be an all-out, 360-degree subversive take on everything, most of all my own notion of myself as a son, father, husband, human being and male in this culture. – Mark Leyner
I don’t have an anti-Hollywood feeling. It’s just I’m a New Zealander. I was born in New Zealand, and it’s where my house is, and my family goes to school there. My interest is to remain in my homeland and make films. I don’t really want to relocate myself to other countries in the world to work. – Peter Jackson
But I don’t think of myself as a foreigner or a Frenchman! I just think of myself as a director. Whether I’m French or Australian or whatever, it’s really not important. – Michel Hazanavicius
I’ve been around horses, but I certainly wouldn’t call myself a horseman by any means. It’s a combination of being very aware of them, and not trusting them. – Chris Cooper
I took myself out of the business to study film at NYU and the School of Visual Arts. I grew up on movie sets and was fascinated with the camera and behind-the-scenes work. I felt it would help my career as an actor if I knew all aspects of film. – Devin Ratray
I said to myself, ‘I don’t want to be coming sixth or seventh, and being the best in Britain. I want to be the best in the world and race against these Kenyan guys.’ – Mo Farah
The only thing that I know is that, growing up, I came across stumbling blocks, and I always said to myself, ‘If I ever get into a position to do something about this, I would like to, so that somebody does not deal with what I went through.’ – Chandra Wilson
God made me the way I am, and I accept myself. I am who I am, and I’m proud of myself. – Caster Semenya
There’s something grounded about ‘Ugly Americans,’ so I think it’s good that I’m playing a version of myself in these elevated cartoon circumstances. – Natasha Leggero
I always prided myself on being apart from the ruling class. I think it’s always important, not just in Washington but in life, to be able to able to balance your sense of belonging with what it’s like to be someone who doesn’t belong. – Mark Leibovich
I can’t bear to see myself even in movies. The feeling is complex. I can’t stand the sight of myself. – Nat King Cole
Being asked to play ‘The Doctor’ is an amazing privilege. Like the Doctor himself I find myself in a state of utter terror and delight. I can’t wait to get started. – Peter Capaldi
I’m afraid to go to sleep; I don’t like to lose control of myself. I don’t like chauffeurs, either. I like to be in charge of my own destiny. – Eileen Ford
I don’t feel when I’m writing that I’m drawing from any other writer, but of course I must be. The writers I’ve admired have been not so very different from myself: Evelyn Waugh, for example, that kind of crystalline prose. And I’ve always admired W. Somerset Maugham more than any other writer. – Charles McCarry
Stuntwork… once, I’ve really only done one thing, which is take a punch and transport myself into the air onto a mat. – Ciaran Hinds
I’m very independent, creatively, always trying to push myself – and I think that comes from my mother. – Felicity Jones
