- I just find myself happy with the simple things. Appreciating the blessings God gave me.
- Some days are just bad days, that's all. You have to experience sadness to know happiness, and I remind myself that not every day is going to be a good day, that's just the way it is!
- Being real is what keeps me humble. It doesn't matter how much money I make or how much I accomplish. What's critical is staying real to myself and keeping my feet on the ground. That's what helps keep me going.
- Suppose you were an idiot, and suppose you were a member of Congress; but I repeat myself.
- Suppose you were an idiot, and suppose you were a member of Congress; but I repeat myself.
- It's been quite a roller coaster ride, but I've grown and learned a lot about myself. The greatest thing is being able to interact with fans and touch people's lives... for that I give thanks.
- Every story I create, creates me. I write to create myself.
- I don't have any control over what actually happens except for that I have full control over my will for myself, my intention, and why I'm there. That's all that matters.
- I look in the mirror and see a few scars, but I like myself.
- I am, indeed, a king, because I know how to rule myself.
- If I am not for myself, who will be for me? If I am not for others, what am I? And if not now, when?
- I see myself as an intelligent, sensitive human, with the soul of a clown which forces me to blow it at the most important moments.
- For the past 33 years, I have looked in the mirror every morning and asked myself: 'If today were the last day of my life, would I want to do what I am about to do today?' And whenever the answer has been 'No' for too many days in a row, I know I need to change something.
- I am determined to be cheerful and happy in whatever situation I may find myself. For I have learned that the greater part of our misery or unhappiness is determined not by our circumstance but by our disposition.
- Puberty was very vague. I literally locked myself in a room and played guitar
- My moms always told me, 'How long you gonna play the victim?' I can say I'm mad and I hate everything, but nothing really changes until I change myself.
- I would rather sit on a pumpkin and have it all to myself, than be crowded on a velvet cushion.
- If I knew I was going to live this long, I'd have taken better care of myself.
- Do I contradict myself? Very well, then I contradict myself, I am large, I contain multitudes.
- Thanks to Allah, I trust myself to distinguish between right and wrong.
- Love myself I do. Not everything, but I love the good as well as the bad. I love my crazy lifestyle, and I love my hard discipline. I love my freedom of speech and the way my eyes get dark when I'm tired. I love that I have learned to trust people with my heart, even if it will get broken. I am proud of everything that I am and will become
- If I didn't define myself for myself, I would be crunched into other people's fantasies for me and eaten alive.
- God's mercy and grace give me hope - for myself, and for our world.
- If I am walking with two other men, each of them will serve as my teacher. I will pick out the good points of the one and imitate them, and the bad points of the other and correct them in myself.
- I don't want other people to decide who I am. I want to decide that for myself.
- I don't see myself being special; I just see myself having more responsibilities than the next man. People look to me to do things for them, to have answers.
- I put a lot of pressure on myself. I think something's not good enough, and I won't stop until I feel like I've made it. I'm never satisfied.
- I never loved another person the way I loved myself.
- I allow myself to fail. I allow myself to break. I'm not afraid of my flaws.
- That's my only goal. Surround myself with funny people, and make sure everyone has a good time and works hard.
- I have forced myself to contradict myself in order to avoid conforming to my own taste.
- I've worked too hard and too long to let anything stand in the way of my goals. I will not let my teammates down and I will not let myself down.
- My peers, lately, have found companionship through means of intoxication - it makes them sociable. I, however, cannot force myself to use drugs to cheat on my loneliness - it is all that I have - and when the drugs and alcohol dissipate, will be all that my peers have as well.
- The curious paradox is that when I accept myself just as I am, then I can change.
- I don't consider myself a Hollywood liberal, but I have my convictions and my beliefs.
- O reason, reason, abstract phantom of the waking state, I had already expelled you from my dreams, now I have reached a point where those dreams are about to become fused with apparent realities: now there is only room here for myself.
- Inside myself is a place where I live all alone and that is where I renew my springs that never dry up.
- I was born by myself but carry the spirit and blood of my father, mother and my ancestors. So I am really never alone. My identity is through that line.
- I hope not to define myself by suffering.
- If I find in myself a desire which no experience in this world can satisfy, the most probable explanation is that I was made for another world.
- I learned a long time ago the wisest thing I can do is be on my own side, be an advocate for myself and others like me.
- When I take good care of myself, it lifts my spirits, boosts my confidence, and makes me feel strong. When someone tries to throw me shade, it bounces right off. I look those haters straight in the eye, keep my chin up and shoulders back. Because I know I'm a fierce queen - and they know it, too.
- I'd describe myself as a Christian who doesn't believe in God.
- Being myself is what got me to where I am.
- I remind myself every morning: Nothing I say this day will teach me anything. So if I'm going to learn, I must do it by listening.
- If anything is certain, it is that I myself am not a Marxist.
- Legacy is not what I did for myself. It's what I'm doing for the next generation.
- Life is supposed to be about love and good times, and so I've forgiven myself after paying the consequences of my bad decisions, and I'm ready to move forward and allow my life to be a light to others that it's never over, even for a person like me, who has lost a tremendous amount of respect among my peers, my fans, my friends and family.
- I like to be myself, and I don't pretend. For instance, I don't dress up for occasions; I am what I am.
- I see myself as the best footballer in the world. If you don't believe you are the best, then you will never achieve all that you are capable of.
- I'm not that conservative. I do feel - I guess I'm more of a Democrat at heart, although I've never affiliated myself with a particular party.
- The only person I'm in competition with is myself. That's to be a better, and bigger me every single day.
- The only person I'm in competition with is myself. That's to be a better, and bigger me every single day.
- I trust no one, not even myself.
- My message to myself is always, 'If you don't believe in yourself, who will?'
- I'm not trying to be sexy. It's just my way of expressing myself when I move around.
- I'm not trying to be sexy. It's just my way of expressing myself when I move around.
- I do not know what I may appear to the world, but to myself I seem to have been only like a boy playing on the seashore, And diverting myself in now and then finding a smoother pebble or a prettier shell than ordinary, whilst the great ocean of truth lay all undiscovered before me.
- I work a lot in the slums of Tondo, Manila, and the life there is poor and very sad. And I've always taught to myself to look for the beauty of it and look in the beauty of the faces of the children and to be grateful.
- God has entrusted me with myself.
- I'm having fun. I'm being myself. I'm doing what I love. That's all that matters.
- I'm having fun. I'm being myself. I'm doing what I love. That's all that matters.
- The future rewards those who press on. I don't have time to feel sorry for myself. I don't have time to complain. I'm going to press on.
- I restore myself when I'm alone.
