I have nothing to say, I am saying it, and that is poetry.
I have friends that are much better actors than I am that had to quit the business because they couldn't survive the auditions or the rejections, or people just didn't realize how good they were.
When I am in form, my style is a little bit stubborn, almost brutal. Sometimes I feel a great spirit of fight which drives me on.
I am the Love that dare not speak its name.
I am a grandmother now, and that means age is creeping on, creeping on.
I plan my time to a 'T.' I plan when I am going to sleep; I plan when I am going to relax. I obviously leave time to have spontaneous life experiences - I think that's really important. But so much of it is setting up you mental energy in the right way to get the most out of your day and time.
And now, of course this is another thing I didn't count on, that now as the governor of the state of California, I am selling California worldwide. You see that? Selling.
I am lucky because I can - and I like to - mix the beautiful Caraceni jackets I inherited from my grandfather with a pair of Tsubi jeans or wear a favorite pin-striped suit from him for more formal occasions. I'm crazy about pinstripes and vintage fifties fabrics.
I am against religion because it teaches us to be satisfied with not understanding the world.
Some people are always grumbling because roses have thorns; I am thankful that thorns have roses.
I am the guardian of power, not its owner.
No one can say, 'I have dropped out - I am no longer in the system.' When you're in prison, you're even closer to the system: you feel it more, and you might be in there for whatever reason. You don't transform the system as an absolute thing.
I can't even explain how blessed I am and how fortunate that I have such a great team that believes in me.
I am in an industry that makes women feel bad about themselves, absolutely.
My writing is a very authentic journey of discovery. I'm going out there to learn who I am. My readers, consequently, take the same journey as my protagonist.
I am very sure that any man of common understanding may, by culture, care, attention, and labor, make himself what- ever he pleases, except a great poet.
Some girls like to say one thing and mean another. And me being who I am, I'm very straightforward.
I think the question is who am I? That's what we all should be asking ourselves. Who am I? Well, if I am first a Christian conservative then that dictates my response to all questions so my response first as a Christian conservative is to vote consistent with my value system.
If I have to, I can do anything. I am strong, I am invincible, I am Woman.
I am not a writer, but I have been told I write good emails.
I am now at an age when they wanted me to play her mother.
But I also enjoy life... the more scrutiny I am under, the more confident I become. I am who I am. I can't do anything about it, and I love who I am.
I am a fan of today's sound as long as we don't get too slick, and yet I am very reverent of my roots.
I am my parents' daughter, and I always want to be. But I first wanted to make sure that I was standing on my own two feet.
And, as a matter of fact, I am the chairman of the Amadou Diallo Foundation.
The idea of old was to conform yourself to a style of cooking, it was not to create a style of cooking. Now the chef is so much into 'I want to sign that dish and say I am the one who made that dish.'
I am always worried that over-planning and outlining will kill the magic of writing; most of the world I created in 'California' occurred via good old sexy sentence-making.
Thanks to my mother, people tell me I look younger than I am, especially without make-up. And I suppose my father had a part in making me more frugal with my money.
In Japan, I am famous in certain special circles - mainly as someone who is trying to break down and enlighten the conventions of Japanese art.
I am deeply convinced that happiness does not exist in this world.
I am going to miss that time when you take that corner better than anybody else could have taken it on that lap or you do that great qualifying lap or you make that great pass or you bring a crippled car home.
Two years ago, of course, I was just a rookie and listened to everybody. In a way I am still a rookie. I'm only 23 and I'll be surrounded by great players who have played in a lot more Ryder Cups than myself. But the rankings say I am the best player at the moment and so that brings a responsibility.
I am thankful for laughter, except when milk comes out of my nose.
I am not guilty, I am innocent.
I am very humble, and I am very gracious and very grateful for everything that happens to me and about me and around me.
I am looking forward to getting to do things I have never done before.
