I've never been keen on open adoption. It doesn't seem to solve the main problem with adoption, which is that somebody feels she was abandoned by someone else.
‐‐ Joan Didion

‐‐ Francesca Annis
I've never been married, but I tell people I'm divorced so they won't think something is wrong with me.
‐‐ Elayne Boosler

‐‐ Vincent Kartheiser
I've never been more comfortable in a part than with Colonel Potter.
‐‐ Harry Morgan
I've never been more in love with anyone nearly half my age than I am today. I'd get married in a minute if I weren't still married to somebody else.
‐‐ Rod Stewart
I've never been more motivated to be No. 1 in the world. I've never been more motivated to try to extend that lead from one to two. All the hard work that I've put into my game right now has paid off, but I've got to keep working hard to win as much as I can.

I've never been much for self-revelation. In two decades of public life, I always approached the limelight with extreme caution. Not that I kept my personal life off-limits; rather, the personal life I put on display was a blend of fact and fiction.

I've never been much of a computer guy at least in terms of playing with computers. Actually until I was about 11 I didn't use a computer for preparing for games at all. I was playing a bit online, was using the chess club mainly. Now, obviously, the computer is an important tool for me preparing for my games.
‐‐ Magnus Carlsen
I've never been much of a craftsman, in an educated way. But I think just the experience of writing makes the avenues I follow a little more efficient in some ways. At the same time, when you're young, you're a little more fearless, and there's less of an internal critic.
‐‐ Dave Matthews
I've never been much of a European traveler. London once on a book tour, and Italy because that's where Ferraris are from. That's about it.
‐‐ John Ridley
I've never been much of a guitarist. I mean, I've played forever, but I was always more of a rhythm kind of guy. I don't read music.
‐‐ Oscar Isaac
I've never been much of a joiner.
‐‐ Sean Parker
I've never been mugged, never really experienced street fear. In fact, I'm the one who gets into arguments because I don't keep my mouth shut.
‐‐ Jodie Whittaker
I've never been naturally fashion conscious. I'm the kind of person who sees a whole outfit in a magazine, runs out and buys it but looks like a clown.
‐‐ Brooke Shields
I've never been no superficial cat.
‐‐ Bernie Mac
I've never been nostalgic, personally or politically - if the past was so great, how come it's history?

‐‐ Ric Ocasek
I've never been on one of these shows where you have to make alliances and be a team player.

‐‐ Paul Pierce
I've never been on the cover of 'Tiger Beat' magazine, let's put it that way. But that's not why you go see Primus. You don't go see Primus to see what kind of new clothing I'm wearing or what my new hairdo is.
‐‐ Les Claypool
I've never been on Wall Street. And I care about Wall Street for one reason and one reason only because what happens on Wall Street matters to Main Street.
‐‐ Ben Bernanke
I've never been one for crushing on famous people.
‐‐ Daisy Ridley
I've never been one for doing remixes. Then I've gotta decide which version am I gonna be tonight: country Carrie or pop Carrie? I'd rather just make country music that anybody can get into no matter what they listen to.
‐‐ Carrie Underwood
I've never been one for keeping a journal, so my songs were my journals. They allowed me to express my feelings and let people know what was going on with me. I knew that somebody would relate.
‐‐ Janet Jackson
I've never been one for late nights, which is why I have always preferred making films to theatre. A play takes over your life: you start to feel sick at lunchtime, and by mid-afternoon, you're wishing for a bomb scare so the whole thing will be called off. Of course, if the evening goes well and you get the applause, then it's wonderful.
‐‐ Charles Dance
I've never been one for sitting on beaches.
‐‐ Piper Perabo
I've never been one of the cool people at school, but then again, I don't get the people who are cool. It's not that I don't like them, it's just that they don't interest me.
‐‐ Daniel Radcliffe
I've never been one of those actors who has touted myself as a fascinating human being. I had to decide early on whether I was to be an actor or a personality.

‐‐ John Carmack
I've never been one of those who wanted to fill my calendar up 90 percent of the time.
‐‐ Gilbert Gottfried
I've never been one to be too careful with my diet. If I really start watching what I eat, I'm already a thin guy - I just won't have any physical strength. I think I'll disappear if I don't eat what I need to eat or what I like to eat.
‐‐ Daniel Nestor
I've never been one to bet on the weather.

‐‐ Jemima Kirke
I've never been one to let others decide what's right for me or my children.
‐‐ Judy Blume

‐‐ Jim Carrey
I've never been one to take glee in anyone's demise, and when I saw Jerry Sandusky walk out in handcuffs, I did kind of feel a bit sorry for him, even though the jury found him to do some horrific things; I was like, 'His life is over.'
‐‐ Don Lemon
I've never been one to tear the social fabric.
‐‐ Judith Guest
I've never been one to think it was cheating to sample this or to loop the drum part there - I've always done that. Even using four-track cassette recorders, I was always doing whatever I could to make it as good as I could.
‐‐ James Mercer
I've never been one to throw clubs, break clubs, or use bad language on the golf course. I've played with golfers who've done that, and I really hate to see it. If I did something like that, my dad would come get the putter and hit me upside the head with it. I knew better.
‐‐ Lucas Black
I've never been one to try to find a niche for myself. I've always tried to wait and see what comes.
‐‐ Marcia Fudge
