There's no way I set out to be a certain kind of symbol - the way I dress is the way I am, the way I live my life.
I am unboreable in the great outdoors.
I don't go by or change my attitude based on what people say. At the end of the day, they, too, are judging me from their perspective. I would rather be myself and let people accept me for what I am than be somebody who I am not, just because I want people's approval.
I'm in this for the long haul, I want to be doing this until I die. I am a standup comedian. I know a lot of people say I'm not, but I am.
I am against the notion of style in itself.
Having Down syndrome is like being born normal. I am just like you and you are just like me. We are all born in different ways, that is the way I can describe it. I have a normal life.
I am not somebody who meets a man or a woman somewhere and feels like that is an incredible character that I must write into a play.
I'm glad I'm successful at it, because it's allowed me to live very well financially, and give my kids a lot of things. It's enabled me to do stuff that I otherwise wouldn't be able to do. But it's not who I am.
I am a human being; nothing human can be alien to me.
I watch a lot of professional skating, and I am really looking forward to going to nationals.
I am not a perfect friend, and it is impossible not to rebuff or be rebuffed if you move about the world.
I don't know how many girls have felt support through my persona. I'm a girl power. So many girls tell me I'm a girl power, and yes, I am.
I suppose I am a frustrated musician so I annoy my family by playing guitar in the house. I used to be into acoustic stuff but my son Joseph is learning drums, so now I have an electric guitar and we play Metallica. We have an amp and a PA in the garage with his drum kit.
I am here to give the American people some straight talk about higher education. Some have said we might have cut financial aid for college students. The truth is we have expanded access to college for our neediest students through the record growth of the Pell grant program.
I am calling upon all of you to come out and fight corruption and agree to support the government in fighting corruption as our first priority.
From these inconsiderable attempts, some idea may be formed with what success, should Fortune afford an opportunity, I am likely to treat matters of greater importance.
The most challenging part of being a dad is self-restraint. So often your instinct is to teach and tell. I am constantly reminding myself to listen to them.
I am so blessed that all I've done in my professional life, since I was 17-18, is play music and somehow make a dollar here and there.
I am here to play women's tennis. I'm a lady. Predominantly, most of the time I always like to play ladies.
Coming out of Juilliard, I had a big head, and a lot of people wouldn't want to be an assistant. But I am so fortunate, and I've learned a ton.
I am always busy, which is perhaps the chief reason why I am always well.
Everywhere I go, people know who I am.
I've got my bag of goodies; I've got flaws coming out of every pore, but that's part of who I am. A bit of the process of life is learning to live with those things and accept yourself regardless. Maybe try to become a better person, either because of - or in spite of - those things.
I am remarkably pleased with Obama. I had grave misgivings about him.
Recollection is not something that I can summon up, it simply comes and I am the servant of it.
There are times when I think, 'I'm going to get this part. I know I am. I'm going to get this.' And then I don't, and I'm wondering, 'What happened? I went back five times!'
Frustration is a sign I am acting independently. The more you try your own way, the tighter the doors will stay closed.
I learned at Yale, one of the biggest lessons was to learn how special I am and therefore how totally unspecial I am. I was special among everyone else who was special. The fact that we're all so individual and that's what makes us special.
Honestly, I feel like I am a leading man, and it's just going to take the right project, the female and the right studio. It's got to all gel together, you know what I mean?
I don't know if I could ever really be cast in a heartthrob role apart from 'Twilight', which I didn't really know was a heartthrob role. I really don't feel I am one.
People talk about this Julia Roberts almost like it's a cup of Pepsi. People think Julia Roberts is something they created. The fact is, 26 years ago, there was this scrunched-up little pink baby named Julia Roberts. I am a girl, like anybody else.
I have friends who are in the posh category and some who are in the not-at-all-posh category, and some who you would find it very hard to get any sort of handle on. But I am lucky to have any friends, of course.
I am lucky, that is all. Lucky because there are a lot of people - producers, directors, people who buy tickets - who put confidence in me.
As time goes by people will see who I am for who I am.
I am such a bad liar. I would like to lie, though.
Many mothers or daughters assume that words only mean one thing. 'If I feel criticised, that has to be the whole story', and 'if I feel I am being helpful, that has to be the whole story'.
