I can assure you that it feels even stranger to me than it probably does to you to have seen so much written about me when I have done so little to paint a picture of myself. – Pippa Middleton
And I have to work so hard at talking positively to myself. If I don’t, it’s just real hard to get through the day, and I’ll get really down, and just want to cry. My whole body language changes. I get more slumped over. – Delta Burke
For me, healthy eating and exercising is something I work on constantly. I’m not the most disciplined dieter. I try to eat a lot of fruit and vegetables but sometimes late at night I tend to have fast-food meals – and that’s where I get myself into trouble! So I’m not in the best shape I could be, but I’m still healthy and comfy. – Fergie
I have learned to watch myself and give myself constructive criticism. Although I have to cover my face and peek sometimes! – Dascha Polanco
I don’t mind if somebody comes up to me and shakes my hand, but if I’m in the middle of a restaurant and somebody asks me for a picture, I can be a jerk and say no, or I can say yes and draw more attention to myself, which is exactly the opposite of what I want. – Macaulay Culkin
Now I have to say I’m a complete atheist, I have no religious views myself and no spiritual views, except very watered down humanistic spiritual views, and consciousness is just a fact of life, it’s a natural fact of life. – David Chalmers
I try to take a weekly digital Sabbath, batch my emails so I deal with them a few times a day rather than constantly, and increasingly give myself permission to ignore unsolicited communiques. I try, too, to give others more slack. The respond-now culture is a two-way street. I’m trying to be more mindful of that. – Noreena Hertz
I don’t want to sell myself short. You hurt your spouse, not so much by the infidelity, but by the negative feelings about yourself that you bring home. – Michael Zaslow
One drawing demands to become a painting, so I start to work on that, and then the painting might demand something else. Then the painting might say, ‘I want a companion, and the companion should be like this,’ so I have to find that, either by drawing it myself or locating the image. – Gary Hume
Without whining and without making myself a tragic figure, there is no replacement for the loss of your privacy. It’s a huge sacrifice. – David Duchovny
I do enjoy manga but would not consider myself a ‘super-fan,’ only really connecting with certain works such as ‘Lone Wolf and Cub,’ or ‘Tekkon Kinkreet,’ the more breakthrough works, and ‘Akira,’ to me, is the daddy of them all. – Gerard Way
Truthfully, I don’t really think of myself as a photographer. I don’t have all the disciplines and knowledge of a person who’s spent their life devoted to photography. – Patti Smith
I’ll read pretty much anywhere and anytime, but for a while now, I’ve really enjoyed reading on flights, especially the longer hauls, when I’m unplugged from everything and can completely immerse myself in the world of a book and submit happily to its rhythms, perspectives, ideas. – Chang-Rae Lee
I’m a fan of films in general; I mean, I don’t think I’ve ever considered myself specifically a horror fan even though I do enjoy horror films, find them really entertaining. – Mary Elizabeth Winstead
From my own being, and from the dependency I find in myself and my ideas, I do, by an act of reason, necessarily infer the existence of a God, and of all created things in the mind of God. – George Berkeley
Art was always my main focus; I fell into writing by accident in the 1980s, writing magazine articles to pay for my studio. I have to put myself into the position of writing; sometimes it doesn’t work, and sometimes it works great. – Douglas Coupland
I did not want to put myself on the line, as an Australian playing Britain’s greatest comic actor. The fans of Sellers are obsessive, possessive – and aggressive. I did not want to risk their anger – or my own reputation. – Geoffrey Rush
I said to myself a long time ago that I didn’t want to be that hanging-on-for-too-long, aging-rock-musician guy, and that’s why I sort of got away from music. – Eric Avery
As long as I am an American citizen, and as long as American blood runs in these veins, I shall hold myself at liberty to speak, to write, and to publish whatever I please on any subject, being amenable to the laws of my country for the same. – Elijah Parish Lovejoy
But when I lose my temper, I find it difficult to forgive myself. I feel I’ve failed. I can be calm in a crisis, in the face of death or things that hurt badly. I don’t get hysterical, which may be masochistic of me. – Emma Thompson
I left Britain in the mid-1990s when TV was going down the cundy – another good Dundee word – because I wanted a film career. But as I get older, I find myself being drawn back to my roots, and I’m loving it. – Charlie Cox
I’m the youngest of four, but my closest sibling is 10 years older. I had a lot of imagination. I was running around playing little games by myself. But I never thought I was going to be an actor. – Daniel Breaker
I cannot cure myself of that most woeful of youth’s follies – thinking that those who care about us will care for the things that mean much to us. – D. H. Lawrence
Behind my door at home, that’s when I’m relaxed, and that’s when I can allow the emotions or whatever – to feel just what I want to feel – so a lot of people don’t know me in that respect. I need a bit of space, a bit of a place to come home to and not have to pretend or perform anymore, where I’m just myself. – Deborah Mailman
