I went door-to-door selling cable television subscriptions when I was in college. Not to date myself, but cable was just coming on. I had terrible territories, and they would give me $25, if I got somebody to let them come and just put the little cord in their house. – Greg Kinnear
Even when I’m reading a script where I’m supposed to be looking at the lead role, I’ll find myself gravitating toward some small weirdo in a few scenes instead. I’m very instinctive like that and I love the challenge of not having a lot of time to create someone who feels real. – Melanie Lynskey
I’m not a political thinker, but I’ve just always thought of myself as a Labour supporter. I was a great fan of Tony Blair. He sent me a letter before I swam the Channel to wish me luck. – David Walliams
I do give myself a break in my personal life but I think in work, if you don’t push yourself you get bored and want to do something else. – Diane Kruger
The people I grew up around who I really liked were quick on the draw. It always just wowed me. And my mum would make weird funny comments. I can see in myself her self-deprecating, hippie humour. I can’t take myself too seriously. – Drew Barrymore
I was a little truth seeker as a child. I wanted more than anything to understand myself and also other people. – Cynthia Kenyon
I believe that I will represent this sport in the best light possible. I won’t mess it up. I won’t get myself in any trouble. – Daniel Cormier
I never imagined it wouldn’t work out for me. I had that absolute certainty in myself that has seen me through, I think, and my parents were absolutely behind me all the way. – Ewan McGregor
Funk, I don’t think I have anything to do with funk. I’ve never considered myself funky. – David Bowie
The only thing I’d ever wanted in my life was to be a major-league ballplayer, but I had to admit to myself that I wasn’t good enough. It broke my heart. – Earl Weaver
I watched myself put my paw in the bear trap on that one because there was this clause about leaving members. – Elliott Smith
I’m passing on a tradition of which I am part. There’s a long line of poets who went before me, and I’m another one, and I’m hoping to pass that on to other younger, or newer, poets than myself. – Diane Wakoski
I am constantly thinking ahead to what I want to write about in the future, and when I’m done with one project, I give myself a little time and then start the next one. – Francesca Lia Block

At this point, I feel like I can allow myself to be goofy and take more risks, and even if I do fall on my face, I know it’s not the end of the world and at least I tried to do something different. – Dave Franco
When I have a difficult decision to make, I imagine myself as a 90-year-old guy looking back on his life. I imagine what I’ll think about myself at that point in time, and it always makes it really easy to go for it. You’re only going to regret that you wimped out. – Nick Woodman
Until I really accepted this about myself and got over any of my own transphobia that I had, I really felt like I wouldn’t be accepted. I thought I would ruin my life. – Chaz Bono
I do have panic attacks every time I go on stage so I’m really not sure why I put myself through this. – Emma Bunton
There’s no real downside to any sort of work that I do. I’m all so grateful for it, but I wouldn’t say that animated work is just a walk in the park. It is easy, it’s really fun, but I don’t know why I really stress myself out every time I’m about to go in. – Christopher Mintz-Plasse
I had this temp receptionist job in New York, and I kind of hated it, and in the morning I would come out of the subway and just walk along the New York streets with all these people around me and kind of sing to myself. Like, ‘She’s gonna make it!’ – Elizabeth Meriwether
I’ve been enormously fortunate. People say, ‘How do you feel about your reputation?’ My real belief is that I have exactly the reputation I deserve… on the whole, I feel comfortable with myself. – Carolyn Kizer
I think about all my scenes. I do so much revising as I go along; I wonder how I could write books if I hadn’t grown up in the computer age. I think I’d be a very different writer. I find myself cutting and pasting, changing things around, and deleting whole paragraphs constantly. – Megan McCafferty
I’m a light sleeper. I’ve never been one of those people who can put their head down and suddenly everything disappears. Nighttime is the time I get most scared, anxious or worried. In those darker moments before waking or sleeping is when I feel most, I don’t know, I can turn on myself, and my imagination can take me dark places. – Florence Welch
I wasn’t born thin. I train. But I would never starve myself. I mean, what is happening with women these days? I just couldn’t see myself looking that thin. I like a bit of waist and leg. – Nicole Appleton
I’ve been studying the Constitution for myself but also as a way for me, as a Democrat, to comprehend the Right. I think it’s important that people who are politically active understand both sides. – Eva Longoria
