My recipe for life is not being afraid of myself, afraid of what I think or of my opinions. – Eartha Kitt
I don’t do my best work while I’m in therapy. I’m too onto myself immediately seeing meanings in things and more likely to censor myself. I’d rather find images I don’t understand. That’s what generates the work. – Ellen McLaughlin
I have avoided becoming stale by putting a little water on the plate, lying on the plate, and having myself refreshed in a toaster oven for 23 minutes once every month. – Dean Koontz
What I love the most is getting on the ice and just popping in a fabulous CD and skating – all by myself, the rink completely empty, just me and the music. – Michelle Kwan
I just try really hard to be me, and sometimes that means I’m unfiltered. I try to give people myself because I think making a great product is being in touch with how you feel about things and being able to express things. I really hope I can stay in touch with how I feel about things and I’m able to express that. – Evan Spiegel
You check to see the facts are correct where business is concerned but if I read everything that was written about me, I’d end up feeling totally insecure about myself. – Elle Macpherson
When I was practicing psychology, I used to tell myself if I ever get to where I’m just doing this for the money or I’m just going through the motions, I’ll quit. – Phil McGraw
When I was a kid, my parents were always like, ‘Money doesn’t buy happiness.’ I thought, ‘You just didn’t make enough money.’ I had to go find it out for myself. – Mike Posner
I didn’t know what to do with myself. I wasn’t excited by the teaching of the school. If they’d been intent on really teaching you things, I would have been a little more attentive. – Diane Cilento

I feel that I fell somewhat under that category where I was using fighting to kind of run from my own self to an extent, to kind of numb the things that I thought about myself. When I had fighting taken away, I was forced to look at myself in the mirror and say, ‘What are you without fighting?’ – Dominick Cruz
I find many drawbacks of myself. But, each time when I visit Lourdes, I receive a lesson of reconciliation. When you see ill people or invalids around, you realize that it is a sin to complain! – Mireille Mathieu

I don’t call myself an ‘industrial designer,’ because I’m other things. Industrial designers want to make novel things. Novelty is a concept of commerce, not an aesthetic concept. – Eva Zeisel
I can’t see myself without pink lipstick. I can go without it for a couple days, but if there was no more pink lipstick in the world, I’d be useless. Seriously. – Nicki Minaj
