Being a part of SKECHERS is exciting. It is such a hip company with a great attitude and image.
‐‐ Carrie Underwood
Being a part of success is more important than being personally indispensable.
‐‐ Pat Riley
Being a part of the action is just incredible. I loved doing stunt stuff. I loved learning to ride.
‐‐ Anna Popplewell
Being a part of the National Football League for so long, I've come across so many trainers and equipment managers who've allowed me to be who I am today.
‐‐ Junior Seau
Being a part of the theater community has been important to me from the time I was a child, through my parents.

Being a pastor is pressure because we have to counsel people.
‐‐ Marvin Sapp
Being a pathfinder is to be willing to risk failure and still go on.
‐‐ Gail Sheehy
Being a patriot doesn't mean prioritizing service to government above all else. Being a patriot means knowing when to protect your country, knowing when to protect your Constitution, knowing when to protect your countrymen, from the violations of and encroachments of adversaries. And those adversaries don't have to be foreign countries.
‐‐ Edward Snowden
Being a pedestrian again is very exciting because in L.A. you live in your car, and you're on a freeway all the time.
‐‐ Nicole Ari Parker
Being a perfectionist is really difficult. You're never really happy with what you're doing, no matter how good it is. When you can just release that pressure and be in someone else's work and still have the respect of those creators to bounce off the page and give your ideas that they can take or leave? I really enjoy that.
‐‐ Rhys Darby
Being a person who has had plastic surgery and goes to the gym five days a week to work my muscles up so they don't look atrophied as a 60-year-old, I don't disparage people who want to maintain their appearance. But what I don't want is a society that tells me I have to.
‐‐ Faye Wattleton
Being a photographer is like listening to music. If you have a camera, by just living your life you're bound to find some things that are worth taking a picture of. You don't have to be an audiophile to have taste in music. It happens through osmosis.
‐‐ Christine Elise
Being a physician, you can either treat the symptoms or cure the disease. This Congress has been treating the symptoms. It's time we cure the disease and take care of the problems that are underlying our poor economy.
‐‐ Joe Heck
Being a playwright is like the equivalent of doing a jigsaw puzzle that has 1,500 pieces, and it's a jigsaw of a blue sky. Not a cloud in sight.
‐‐ Lewis Black
Being a playwright of any race is difficult, and Lord knows it gets more difficult the further you get from the middle of the road. I don't know what kind of magic my mojo is working, but it's working.
‐‐ Suzan-Lori Parks
Being a poet, the advantages of dyslexia are many, affording me sensitivity to the musical nuances of language and the ability to juggle complicated ideas and narratives simultaneously.
‐‐ Philip Schultz
Being a politician, I know how motivating it can be when the public is outraged.
‐‐ Margrethe Vestager
Being a pop artist or making music like a jingle or something - I don't do that.
‐‐ Chris Robinson
Being a pop fan is a lot like Catholic devotion - lots of ritual, lots of ceremony... We touch the icon to enter the sacred space, genuflecting to reliquaries and ostentatoria that make something splendid of our most secret desires and agonies.
‐‐ Rob Sheffield
Being a pop-leaning, female artist, you'd think that I'd have my record company breathing down my neck and trying to control everything I'm doing. Actually, they've just kind of let me take the wheel.
‐‐ Halsey
Being a pop star is something I don't think I'm very good at. I'm worried it's making me too paranoid, because all of a sudden, life has become this constant assessment. When you put something out there and people get to hear it, then those people react to it, socially, culturally.
‐‐ Laura Mvula
Being a popular director or actor's son can be frightening in this industry. What if you are not able to make it?
‐‐ Anupam Kher
Being a posh actor in England you cannot escape the class-typing from whatever side you look at it.
‐‐ Benedict Cumberbatch
Being a press secretary is like learning to type: You're hunting and pecking for a while and then you find yourself doing the touch system and don't realize it. You're speaking for the president without ever having to go to him.
‐‐ Larry Speakes
Being a prime minister is a very demanding job. And as long as I have the strength, I will continue to do this and be of benefit to my country.
‐‐ Dmitry Medvedev
Being a princess isn't all it's cracked up to be.
‐‐ Princess Diana
Being a pro athlete doesn't mean you treat your body right, even though it's so important to what you do. Being a runner and training for important races has taught me more about how to fuel than swimming ever did. I realize it's a process and part of the commitment.
‐‐ Summer Sanders
Being a producer, I deal with a lot of different directors, and some of them would drive me insane with all the different histrionics, and the mystique that they carry.
‐‐ Matthew Vaughn
Being a professional athlete, we all want to win the title.
‐‐ Lin Dan
Being a professional cricketer, you have to adapt to the conditions quickly. It takes time to get rhythm when you are constantly traveling from one country to another.
‐‐ Harbhajan Singh
Being a professional musician doesn't mean you spend 12 hours a day playing music. It means you spend up to 12 hours a day taking care of business, dealing with litigation, with the various characters who've stolen your interests, or fending off hostile lawsuits from former members of the band.
‐‐ Robert Fripp
Being a professional woman, I function the best when I don't distinguish between work and play.
‐‐ Cristina Saralegui
Being a professional writer is not an easy way to make a living.
‐‐ Tracy Kidder
Being a psychologist did enable me to maintain objectivity.
‐‐ Pamela Stephenson
Being a public company is really terrible for most companies. I'd say Facebook and Google have done a pretty good job of standing up to the incredible quarterly pressure to hit numbers, but most companies - and I've observed a lot now - don't do a very good job of that.
‐‐ Sam Altman
Being a public person doesn't necessarily mean you're a piece of meat for everybody.
‐‐ Elle Macpherson
Being a public servant, this is a serious job, not like a boxer, you're entertaining people.
‐‐ Manny Pacquiao
Being a publicist is like management in a lot of ways - you're their friend, you're their mother, you're their confidante.
‐‐ Debi Mazar
Being a purely instrumental album, it makes a musical statement, not a religious one, and I hope that people can feel the emotion of the great melodies, even without the words.
‐‐ Kenny G
Being a quarterback, the way I believe is there's always so much room to improve. Any little detail. I always cut up the film and try to watch what I can improve on, whatever little detail it is.
‐‐ Russell Wilson
Being a question on 'The Weakest Link,' that was quite a moment.
‐‐ Katherine Jenkins
Being a rapper is about being cool, but being a comedian, you're not supposed to be the coolest guy.
‐‐ Aziz Ansari
Being a rather second-rate actress, I finally thought, 'I'd rather be a designer.' I knew I could make things look good.
‐‐ Anouska Hempel
Being a recording artist, selling music, selling concerts out, having a reality show, starting film; it's great, it's beautiful.
‐‐ Jenni Rivera
Being a regular in a television series, for me - if I wanted to be a cop, I woulda went to cop school. If I wanted to be a doctor, I would've gone to medical school. You get trapped in your normal episodic television shows, basically doing the same thing.
‐‐ Michael Hogan
Being a reporter and chasing down an assignment isn't an easy thing to do, especially when you're dealing with athletes that are so focused and trying to get their little game plan together to perform under adverse conditions... it's tough.
‐‐ Junior Seau
Being a reporter seems a ticket out to the world.
‐‐ Jackie Kennedy
