I'm a product of public housing. My parents grew up poor, but their dream was to own a home.
‐‐ Gregory Meeks
I'm a product of Russian culture, but I never felt it was my country.
‐‐ Mikhail Baryshnikov
I'm a product of the 1970s, so I have a short attention span. You know, I grew up on cartoons and half-hour shows. So the stories that I'm interested in grab my attention very quickly, and they have to keep my attention.
‐‐ Robert Kurson
I'm a product of the Kennedy era. Kennedy's Inaugural plus the accident of Dean Rusk brought me into the government. Those were my values.
‐‐ Richard Holbrooke
I'm a professional actor, not a celebrity.
‐‐ Pam Ferris
I'm a professional athlete - one who's supposed to set examples - so whatever it is I put in my body, it's up to me to take responsibility for it, and I have done that.
‐‐ Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce
I'm a professional cook. I've worked with other cooks from all over the world, but my family is not that way - they're always lived within 25 miles of my hometown!
‐‐ Paul Prudhomme
I'm a professional food eater.
‐‐ Henry Rollins
I'm a professional geologist, an explorationist for oil. That's what I've done in my career, one that's culminated in - at least to this point - playing a part in finding the largest field in the last 40 years anywhere in the world. That's the Bakken field, which I believe will yield 24 billion barrels of oil in the decades to come, maybe more.
‐‐ Harold Hamm
I'm a professional; I feel I'm one of the best in the game.
‐‐ Chris Webber
I'm a professional non-fiction reader, that's what I do. But in my 20s we had our own vampire and witch moment, courtesy of Anne Rice, whose books I read and loved.
‐‐ Deborah Harkness
I'm a professional songwriter - personal attitudes have nothing to do with writing a song.
‐‐ Sammy Cahn
I'm a professional world champion. Of course if you're a world champion, you're working harder than everybody else. You're making the commitment, and you're making the sacrifices. If it were easy, everybody would be able to do it. Everybody would be able to be world champion, but everybody can't be. Everybody doesn't have it in them.
‐‐ Laila Ali
I'm a professional wrestler at heart, and I miss it.
‐‐ Dave Bautista
I'm a professor. I know that people in research labs can do miraculous things if they're given the resources.
‐‐ Randy Pausch
I'm a professor of comparative literature, among other things, so I'm able to read in a couple of other languages, and I understand that not everyone is, not everyone can, although it is quite stunning how many people do read Spanish in the United States, but moving between languages is also extremely helpful.
‐‐ Judith Butler
I'm a professor of media studies as well as humanities, and I'm an evangelist of popular culture, but when there's only media, then there's going to be a slow debasement of language, and that's what I think we're fighting.
‐‐ Camille Paglia
I'm a professor of national security studies, and I know a lot more about fighting than Rumsfeld does.
‐‐ Barry McCaffrey
I'm a progressive. The progression has to be manifested in a new direction in policies and legislation.
‐‐ Bobby Seale
I'm a prolific overanalyzer. And I can always use 15 words in place of three 3, no matter what.
‐‐ Maggie Grace
I'm a promoter of the people for the people and by the people and my magic lies in my people ties. I'm a promoter of America. I'm American people. You know what I mean? So therefore, uh, do not send for who the bell tolls 'cause the bell tolls for thee.
‐‐ Don King
I'm a proper mummy's boy.
‐‐ Shayne Ward
I'm a proponent of single-payer health-care, public education, protecting the environment - all the things Democrats rally around.
‐‐ Cynthia Dill
I'm a prosecutor first and foremost, and as a judge, I put people in jail for extended periods of time when that was appropriate.
‐‐ Eric Holder
I'm a proud American - becoming a citizen in 1988 was one of the most profoundly moving occasions in my life; I'm a former Texan and a recent Californian.
‐‐ Abraham Verghese
I'm a proud Australian, a very, very proud Australian.
‐‐ Steve Irwin
I'm a proud fighter for the little guy and the people of my state who are struggling to make ends meet. That's what Louisiana values are about.

I'm a proud Greek. I carry my Hellenism like a badge of merit.
‐‐ Telly Savalas
I'm a proud member of the rabble.
‐‐ Benjamin Netanyahu
I'm a proud New Zealander, and I represent Paralympics New Zealand. I love what I do, and I do it because I love it. The passion is unbelievable in every race I do. I have the ambition to change things outside the pool, too.
‐‐ Sophie Pascoe
I'm a proud Republican - there's no issue with that at all, so why can't I be a proud Republican and just try to solve problems?
‐‐ Rick Snyder
I'm a proud strict mom and, you know, I'm really proud of the two daughters I've raised. And I'm especially proud of my relationship with them. We're very close. I think we're good friends.
‐‐ Amy Chua
I'm a proud vegan, whistle-blower, and animal rights activist.
‐‐ Steve-O
I'm a proud Welshman.
‐‐ Gareth Bale
I'm a provincial. I live very much like a hermit: reading, listening to music, working in the cutting room, writing, commercial work - which doesn't take up that much time.
‐‐ Orson Welles
I'm a provocateur.
‐‐ Marianne Williamson
I'm a psychologist. I was a psychology faculty member, and then I became an administrator of the department, then the Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences. At the time of the presidential search, I was the dean.
‐‐ I. King Jordan
I'm a public servant. And I work for the American people.

‐‐ Adam Ant
I'm a purist.
‐‐ Alejandro Jodorowsky
I'm a purist, and I love the sport. I loved the '60s and '70s, when the fans even enjoyed the races where only four cars finished, and they were two laps apart.
‐‐ Jacques Villeneuve
I'm a pushover. I make allowances for people if I like them.
‐‐ Zaha Hadid
I'm a puzzle doer.
‐‐ Elizabeth Edwards
I'm a pyro. I love exploding things.
‐‐ Gia Coppola
I'm a quarter Chinese and three-quarter Filipino. I don't look Filipino; I look more Chinese or Korean. It actually works in my favor: in terms of roles, it gives me a broader canvas.
‐‐ Reggie Lee
I'm a quarterback. I don't need to score the touchdown. I just need to spot the pass.
‐‐ Trevor Noah
I'm a quasi-only child. With my brother and sister, I've more of a tendency to be semi-maternal. So, yes, I spent a lot of time talking to myself - I had this big dressing-up box and would just dress up as lots of characters and talk back to myself... Verging on schizophrenia, I suppose, if you analyse it carefully.
‐‐ Natalie Dormer
I'm a Queens boy at the end of the day.
‐‐ Andrew Cuomo
I'm a quiet person, and I live a quiet, pleasant, ordinary, simple life.
‐‐ Mary McGarry Morris
