I've been so spoiled in the theater, writing plays where I can just do exactly what I want and nobody messes with me.
‐‐ Sam Shepard
I've been so transient, I've been on my own since I was 16. I didn't even have my own place until I was 32 years old. I literally lived out of bags for 16-plus years.

I've been starting in new places year after year after year. It's just like when I went to Greece or the Philippines. I love when people think I'm a new artist. It's a chance to start over.
‐‐ Thalia
I've been stealing scenes all my life.
‐‐ Mickey Rooney
I've been stopped a few times by people who want to say, 'Hi.' But I'm an introverted person, and the idea that I'd have to talk to people all the time seems a little overwhelming.
‐‐ Maria Bamford
I've been strong and determined all my life about many things I've wanted.
‐‐ Calvin Klein
I've been strongly opposed to racial discrimination and anything like that my whole life. Maybe it's thanks to my parents and where I grew up and that sort of thing, but particularly with gay and lesbian citizens, I've seen that people can be cruel, and it's very distressing.

‐‐ Andrew Wyatt
I've been studying the Bible for a long time. I remember that after the first five years or so of diligently studying the Word, I didn't feel like I had made any progress. There were a lot of things in my life that were out of order, and I didn't feel like I was getting anywhere.

‐‐ John Bolton
I've been successful because I've never been someone to shy away from taking responsibility.
‐‐ Lizzie Armitstead
I've been successful, but I haven't had any unwanted attention. To be honest, I've never invited or courted attention. I think if you act normal, then people will treat you normally. If you go around with a big entourage all the time, you're not staying true to yourself.

I've been supporting Planned Parenthood all my life. I've even used it myself, back when I had no money. It's where I got my birth control. During college, every one of us got support from them.
‐‐ Marilyn Minter
I've been surprised at how much an unknown like myself can accomplish just by reaching out to people and pleading my case. Quotes for the book cover, reviews and interviews, readings and radio appearances - all this by simply moving ahead and making contact with folks I thought might enjoy the writing.
‐‐ Patrick deWitt
I've been surprised at the number of people who were really angry that I tried to convey gender neutrality by using a gendered pronoun.

‐‐ John Bolton
I've been surrounded by women my whole life, so obviously I love fashion... But I'd like to do my own thing and focus on what I love. If people accept it, they accept it. If they don't, they don't.
