I remember reminding myself that beauty is an opinion, not a fact. And it has always made me feel better. – Hayden Panettiere
I’ve spent the last 50 years or so steeping myself in the world’s religions, and I’ve done my homework. I’ve gone to each of the world’s eight great religions and sought out the most profound scholars I could find, and I’ve apprenticed myself to them and actually practiced each faith. – Huston Smith
What I do is sometimes – at least in Germany – met with wounding campaigns. I always face the question: should I grow myself a thick skin and ignore it, or should I let myself be wounded? I’ve decided to be wounded, since, if I grew a thick skin, there are other things I wouldn’t feel any more. – Gunter Grass
At Norwich, I was injured, and then I went to Leicester, and I found myself on the bench. But I still used that to my advantage as an experience – I had to do that here at Spurs for a while, be on the bench and wait for my chance. It’s definitely something that’s helped me with my game. – Harry Kane
I don’t view myself as a musician anymore – I view myself as a human being that functions as a musician when I’m functioning as a musician, but that’s not 24 hours a day. That’s really opened me up to even more perspectives because now I look at music, not from the standpoint of being a musician, but from the standpoint of being a human being. – Herbie Hancock
To live for results would be to sentence myself to continuous frustration. My only sure reward is in my actions and not from them. – Hugh Prather

It’s always important to read, to know something about this world, so I try to learn, to know, to see what I can learn for myself. Be it from books, TV or the Internet, I try to know what happened in the world. – Henrikh Mkhitaryan
I consider myself someone who takes a lot of beauty risks, and I’ve realized what I liar I am. I change my hair a lot, from blue to blonde to bald, but I’m trying to branch out a little more with makeup. – Halsey
I’m a terrible actor. I’m still learning. When I first started, I wish I knew then to trust myself more, really. I was in a terrible panic in the early part of my career. – Hugh Grant
I never wanted to be on any billionaires list. I never define myself by net worth. I always try to define myself by my values. – Howard Schultz
In school, I learned about artists and how they were free to express themselves. I was allergic to conformity, and the lifestyle attracted me. I wanted to express myself in a way that slammed people up against the wall. – Grace Slick
I thought I was investing in myself and my brand, like Kim Kardashian. When she buys these clothes, she’s investing in herself, because she is a big brand and is likable. I thought I had that potential. My ego got too big. To think I could be someone like that when I was the most hated girl ever. – Heidi Montag
I don’t let myself get carried away by my own ideas – I abandon 19 out of 20 of them every day. – Gustav Mahler
You know that if you play football, you have to try to do the maximum, so I’m always doing the maximum for myself because when I retire from football, I want to sit down and think I did something good – I won this title, and I won this title. People will talk about what you have won, and that is the most important thing in football. – Henrikh Mkhitaryan

I liked pretending to be other people: I could reinvent myself, reinvent my own reality. – Helena Bonham Carter

I found myself facing a Christian Science Reading Room. My God! It had been eight years. There had never been any renunciation of religion on my part, but like so many people, it was a gradual fading away. – Henry Fonda
My game is kind of built around hitting shots – that’s what I take pride in, and it’s what separates myself from other guys. – Graham DeLaet
I felt like challenging myself and challenging my readers with something darker and heavier. I don’t know how to explain it, because I’m not a political person. I have two political stories, and that’s it: ‘Human Diastrophism’ and ‘Poison River.’ – Gilbert Hernandez
