I’ve had teachers that inspired me, yes. I think teachers play a really important role in people’s lives. I had one teacher in particular who helped me through high school and really instilled a confidence in me by just holding me up to a standard I wasn’t holding myself up to. – Shaun Sipos
I think I’m evolving, I’m always in search of bettering myself, how I can improve as a sportsman and as a person. – Sonny Bill Williams
I’ll be honest with you: before I heard Nicki rapping, I probably wouldn’t have thought to rap myself. Just to see a female doing it and being in there with the guys, it was motivation. – Tink
I myself am a very nonviolent person and only resort to violence when I absolutely have to. – Steven Seagal
I had the most incredible English and literature teachers in school, and it really influenced my love of storytelling. It’s what made me excited to study journalism in college. I love editorials and documentaries. All of that came from being given the opportunity to lose myself in good writing when I was a kid. – Sophia Bush
I’ve never really had a waist. Even when I was at my slimmest, my silhouette was very straight up, straight down. But I have learnt how to give myself a bit of waist by optical illusion. For this, bring on the belts. – Twiggy
I do know one thing about me: I don’t measure myself by others’ expectations or let others define my worth. – Sonia Sotomayor

I have certain rules that I’ve established for myself that took a while post-day job to figure out. Everyone says people who freelance or are writers struggle with the structure of it. I’m not allowed to check email before a certain hour. I’m not allowed to run errands during the day. I have to write a certain amount every day. – Sloane Crosley

Well, I’ve been recording myself on a computer since I was about 13 or 14. So it’s completely entwined with my creative process. Essentially, it allows you to make music that’s better and smarter than you are, by using your ears to lead the way. – St. Vincent
I purposefully did not want to watch anything I’ve done so far; I actually don’t like looking at my face, so I don’t like watching myself on the screen. It’s an insecurity thing I have. – Sam Claflin
