I love chocolate, and I love ice cream. That’s a double whammy there. I constantly have to check myself and say, ‘I’ve already had dessert today.’ – Tony Cardenas
I feel like I had to learn how to take care of myself and find out what made me happy aside from just making films. – Winona Ryder
I must discipline myself. I must be imaginative and create plots, knit motives, probe dialogue – rather than merely trying to record descriptions and sensations. The latter is pointless, without purpose, unless it is later to be synthesized into a story. The latter is also a rather pronounced symptom of an oversensitive and unproductive ego. – Sylvia Plath
I knew the ribosome was going to be the focus of Nobel prizes. It stands at the crossroads of biology, between the gene and what comes out of the gene. But I had convinced myself I was not going to be a winner. – Venkatraman Ramakrishnan
As far as luxury goes, about the only thing I do is… I go first class all the way. I live on the road, so when I’m out there, I’m getting the nice hotel suite, I’m getting the luxury car, I’m eating the good food, and I make sure I take care of myself on the road. – Trish Stratus
I didn’t ever plan to be a producer, and I didn’t really know what I was getting myself into. – Wendi Deng Murdoch
I didn’t see myself any different from my white counterparts in school. I just didn’t! I thought I could do what they did. And what I didn’t do well, I thought people were going to give me the opportunity to do well, because maybe they saw my talent, so they would give me a chance. I had no idea that they would see me completely different. – Viola Davis
I’m a different person who’s not my father or my mother. I want to be treated differently from them. I am myself, Twinkle Khanna. I am proud of being the daughter of such illustrious parents, but I would not like to be compared with them time and again. – Twinkle Khanna
Back in third grade, they used to say, ‘Take whatever talent you have and think of something you can do with it.’ I liked to draw, but what could I do with it? Maybe I could be an art dealer – nah, can’t see myself doing that. Maybe I could do commercial arts? – The Notorious B.I.G.
I feel really blessed when people start comparing me with Sachin, but I keep myself focused on my performance and not on such comparisons. I literally worship him, so I don’t see too much in this comparison. No cricketer has been able to score one hundred centuries like Sachin. – Virat Kohli
I’m not an early bird at all. Ideally, on Saturday morning I’d allow myself a lovely lie-in. 10:45 would be just right. – Shilpa Shetty
As a teenager, I put a lot of pressure on myself, and a lot of that, for me, was about finding a moral high ground. As I’ve grown up, I’ve decided to abandon that because it made me judgmental and also stressed me out. – Veronica Roth
But now – look, I have to take care of myself. I work out every day. I’m a dancer. I’ve always been an athlete, and I’m one of those people who start to go crazy if they don’t run or do something. – Vanessa Carlton
I regard myself as a grand juror waiting to hear the evidence from the prosecutor, the Judiciary Committee. I’m diametrically opposed to Nixon and everything he stands for, but I want to see the evidence of high crimes and misdemeanors first. – Thomas P. O’Neill
I think of myself more as a designer than a serial entrepreneur. As a designer, the easiest way to see that something happens is to start a company and then be the boss, and then people have to do what you say. – Stewart Butterfield
I do not abuse players. I talk to myself; I abuse myself. It’s my way of letting off steam. I do it after every century; I do not do it always. I keep telling myself: ‘Improve, improve from the previous match, the previous shot. You can do it.’ – Virat Kohli
When something’s got to give, family always wins. I couldn’t live with myself if it was the other way. – Tracy Pollan
I made straight A’s and never got into any trouble, and I still impose those standards on myself. So writing is my chance to escape and become the sleaziest, scummiest role. – Sandra Brown
I can’t deal with actors! I can’t deal with myself. We’re neurotic and miserable … I love doing what I’m doing, but while I’m doing it, I’m miserable. – Viola Davis
The truth is, I’ve never thought of myself as the Michael Jordan of comedy. And that’s a good thing. You know why? Because I’m not. Wasn’t that Richard Pryor? Yes, it was. I know what I am: I’m funny! – Tracy Morgan
There aren’t a lot of cover bands that do Boston material or do it well, and the reason for that is that they are hard to play. So we put a lot of work into it. The musicians that I’ve managed to surround myself with after all of these years are individuals who really excel at what they do. – Tom Scholz
I remember when I was little, my mom asked me, ‘Would you like to play the violin or the piano?’ I looked at that giant monster and said to myself – I am not going to lock myself on that bench the whole day. This is small and lightweight. I can play from standing, sitting or walking. – Sirena Huang
I bought a lot of rubbish things that kids buy: skateboards and clothes and typical teenage stuff. And, as soon as I could, I wasted a lot of money on cars – BMW’s mostly – for myself and my family. – Tom Felton
After ‘A Suitable Boy,’ I didn’t write anything, not even a short story. I thought to myself: ‘I ought to start writing.’ But I can never force myself to write. – Vikram Seth
I live by myself. I come in the door, I can throw my stuff on the floor. I can leave the dishes. – Tika Sumpter
Through the years, I, like you, have experienced pressures and disappointments that would have crushed me had I not been able to draw upon a source of wisdom and strength far greater than my own. He has never forgotten or forsaken me, and I have come to know for myself that Jesus is the Christ and that this is His Church. – Sheri L. Dew
Here’s a habit I never thought I’d develop: I gravitate to anything online that’s marked ‘most popular’ or ‘most e-mailed.’ And I hate myself a little bit every time I do. – Susan Orlean
