I've never been very attached to genre labels and never set out intentionally to write historic fiction. Besides, what you consider historic depends on how far back your memory extends.
‐‐ Charles Frazier
I've never been very cookie cutter. If I choose something different from the status quo, it's my responsibility and my choice to live my life that way.
‐‐ Sara Ramirez
I've never been very flashy or high-profile.
‐‐ Jon Oringer
I've never been very good at fitting into boxes.
‐‐ Neneh Cherry
I've never been very good at manipulating my career, but fortunately I haven't needed to.
‐‐ Elaine Paige
I've never been very successful in a monogamous relationship, but I'm looking forward to the day when I can assume that responsibility.
‐‐ Don Johnson
I've never been willing to lie about my age. Why on earth would I want to tell people I'm 35, which I'm not, and have them say, 'Oh that's nice,' when I could tell them I'm 47, which I am, and have them look at me and go, 'Whoa!'. I'm not afraid of aging. I stopped being afraid of life a long time ago.
‐‐ Sharon Stone
I've never believed in cheapening music by going according to what some people think is public taste.
‐‐ Les Baxter
I've never believed in dieting, but there are people out there who have problems. My advice would be don't ever stop yourself to a point where you start craving something, because you end up bingeing. I think the key word is moderation.
‐‐ Shilpa Shetty
I've never believed in singing about Satan and thinking he's cool, because he's not.
‐‐ Dave Mustaine
I've never believed in tying myself up in a long-range contract, and I've been very outspoken on that subject.
‐‐ Sugar Ray Leonard
I've never believed it's a fiction writer's job to create an exact replica of the past, a diorama the reader can step right into. But it is my responsibility to learn everything of the world I'm writing about, to become an expert in the politics and history that formed my characters' identities.
‐‐ Molly Antopol
I've never believed much in that holding hands kind of love. I've always thought that love is about two different personalities trying to confront life, trying to make sense of their responsibilities, to themselves, to each other, and to the wider society.
‐‐ Alan Bates
I've never believed that 'Idol' as a franchise is beholden to any individual because everybody said it would die the minute Simon Cowell left, and it hasn't.
‐‐ Nigel Lythgoe
I've never believed that pop music is escapist trash. There's always a darkness in it, even amidst great pop music.
‐‐ Thom Yorke
I've never believed that the only way to make a dent is to be a table thumper.
‐‐ David Brudnoy
I've never bothered about my color. I never had that thing about being black. If the whole world was like that, maybe there would be more harmony and love. Maybe. I don't have a problem with being black in a white country or being with my people.
‐‐ Tina Turner
I've never bought a Dylan record. A singing poet? It just bores me to tears. I've got to tell you, if I had 10 Dylans in the final of 'American Idol,' we would not be getting 30 million viewers a week. I don't believe the Bob Dylans of this world would make 'American Idol 'a better show.
‐‐ Simon Cowell
I've never bought a sports car.
‐‐ Brian O'Driscoll
I've never bought into any sort of hard and fast, this-box/that-box characterization. People are individuals. Yes, they may be expected to be a particular way. But that doesn't mean they're going to be that way.
‐‐ Margaret Atwood
I've never bought this idea of taking a therapeutic distance. If I see a student or house staff cry, I take great faith in that. That's a great person; they're going to be a great doctor.
‐‐ Abraham Verghese
I've never boxed before in my life. I've had one day's training at a boxing gym, and it's an incredibly difficult sport.
‐‐ Rupert Penry-Jones
I've never boxed in my life, never been in a military base in my life, never grew up with anyone in the military.
‐‐ Tyrese Gibson
I've never bribed my way into a restaurant. I've never slipped a C-note or greased a palm. In truth, I've never even considered it. I've assumed, of course, that people do such things.
‐‐ David Chang
I've never broken a bone in my body, even though I've done some extreme things.
‐‐ Kellan Lutz
I've never broken a piano. However, I've been banned from particular clubs for breaking piano strings.
‐‐ Eric Lewis
I've never cackled with laughter at a single line I've ever written. None of it has given me pleasure.
‐‐ Pat Conroy
I've never called President Obama a racist. I love President Obama. I pray for him all the time. God loves President Obama. God loves you. And God loves me.
‐‐ Alveda King
I've never canceled a subscription to a newspaper because of bad cartoons or editorials. If that were the case, I wouldn't have any newspapers or magazines to read.
‐‐ Richard M. Nixon
I've never cancelled any public appearance, simply because that's what my life is; it's doing my work, and I never want to stop doing my work unless it becomes impossible for me to do it.
‐‐ Nile Rodgers
I've never cared for guns. In fact, when I did 'Scent of a Woman' I had to learn how to assemble one.
‐‐ Al Pacino
I've never cared for the idea of a career path, or where a film might 'take me.' My love is for acting not money, so I only take on roles that I find challenging, in stories I find interesting.
‐‐ Gael Garcia Bernal
I've never categorically been a banker. I had two internships while I was at university. The decision was more banking, or magic, and I went with the latter.
‐‐ Drummond Money-Coutts
I've never changed my life since I was 4 and went to the YMCA with a gym bag. I still have that philosophy. In fact, I still have that gym bag.
‐‐ Dan Gable
I've never chased fame. I came into this business to be a theatre actress. I was nine when I first appeared on stage. But I can't say I would turn my back on fortune. I'm someone who enjoys the benefits of money.
‐‐ Joan Collins
I've never chased money. It's always been about what I can do to motivate and inspire people.
‐‐ Tyler Perry
I've never chased the dollar, I've always chased the reader's heart. I love having more readers. The more people who read it, the more thrilled I am.
‐‐ Harlan Coben
I've never cheated on a woman.
‐‐ Corey Feldman
I've never cheated or been cheated upon. I've seen my parents together and secure. So I feel the same way. Infidelity stems from low self-esteem. You want to cheat when you don't feel good about yourself.
‐‐ Preity Zinta
I've never chosen or rejected a role because of money.
‐‐ Dennis Christopher
I've never come into anything successful before. I've always been hired by horrible radio stations with horrendous reputations and nothing to lose.
‐‐ Howard Stern
I've never commented much about my experience at Enron except to say, when I was there, it was a much more pipeline and asset-oriented company.
‐‐ Richard Kinder
I've never committed to a role without a script.
‐‐ Rebecca De Mornay
I've never concerned myself with the labels people want to put on you. What matters to me is my own estimation.
‐‐ Jean Dujardin
I've never considered being a cop. I could be a teacher, I could be a minister, a social worker or a professor. As long I don't have to see blood and see people die every day, if I could inspire or help in their lives, that's something I'd want to do.
‐‐ Ruben Santiago-Hudson
I've never considered musical equipment very sacred.
‐‐ Kurt Cobain
I've never considered myself a celebrity or even part of the entertainment business. I'm a cooking teacher.
‐‐ Martin Yan
I've never considered myself a leading man, don't look like one, don't want to be one.
‐‐ Brion James
I've never considered myself a lyricist, but I have stuff to say.
‐‐ Brendon Urie
