I've overcome neglect and deprivation, abandonment and abuse.
‐‐ Tatum O'Neal
I've overcome physical and mental brutality - and fought back.
‐‐ Tatum O'Neal
I've owned 41 airplanes. A few of them would talk with me. This little seaplane, though, we've had long conversations in flight. There's a spirit in anything, I think, into which we weave our soul. Not many pilots talk about it, but they think about it in the quiet dark of a night flight.
‐‐ Richard Bach
I've owned a business for 26 years. My family isn't in politics and my supporters aren't special interest groups in Madison and Milwaukee.
‐‐ Mark Neumann
I've owned a lot of dogs in my life - Marcela, Rusty, Petey Pup, Precious, Rosy and Ava. Each were in love with life's simple pleasures, but being people in dog suits, as they seem to be, they each had a defined personality!
‐‐ Bob Peterson
I've owned mopeds in the past.
‐‐ Brett Dalton
I've owned more sofas than I've had husbands. Both sag in the end, but I generally fall out of love with the furniture quicker than the men.
‐‐ Janet Street-Porter
I've paid for more pianos in hotel lobbies than you can imagine.
‐‐ Kid Rock
I've paid my dues in the classical trenches.
‐‐ Laila Robins
I've paid the price; I definitely have a reputation that precedes me, and there is a camp that plots my demise. But then again... it's funner that way.
‐‐ Rufus Wainwright
I've painted in the past, but I only average about one painting a year, and the last painting I did, I actually really liked.
‐‐ Mike Mignola
I've participated in many demonstrations since I was a child. When I was at medical college, I was fighting King Farouk, then British colonization, against Nasser, against Sadat who pushed me into prison, Mubarak who pushed me into exile. I never stopped.
‐‐ Nawal El Saadawi
I've participated in meetings where there were concerns by ethical experts. There is no clear solution.
‐‐ Luc Montagnier
I've participated in the Nautica Malibu Triathlon a couple of times, but only in the running portion.
‐‐ Ellie Kemper
I've passed on a lot of huge-money jobs. Money doesn't enter into the decision-making. If I do a big blockbuster, it's about how big an audience you'll get and where you can take them.
‐‐ Matt Damon
I've perfected the art of busting on people. That's how comedians show each other love.
‐‐ Leslie Jones
I've performed in Auburn Hills, at The Palace, so I haven't really been in downtown Detroit, but I've been able to be here, and I can really see, what the city was. Like, I can feel why Motown started here and how amazing it was.
‐‐ Jordin Sparks
I've performed in China, France, New Delhi, and Indianapolis, and everybody just allows themselves to go at it and have a good time. I think that's what I'm doing through music. It's not about 'I'm from here and you're from there.' It's about unity.
‐‐ Ricky Martin
I've performed on 'The Tonight Show' with both Johnny Carson and Jay Leno, but not at the same time.
‐‐ Thomas F. Wilson
I've performed solo for 20 years now, but I don't do much of it, because if you only play alone, you go crazy and out of tune and play foolish music.
‐‐ Steve Lacy
I've permitted myself to learn and to fail with some regularity. And that is probably the one thing I was given, and that I'm still grateful for.
‐‐ John Malkovich
I've personally backed off from direct political involvement.
‐‐ Pat Robertson
I've personally demanded that tyrants let their people go. I've tried to feed the hungry, clothe the poor, protect the elderly and infirm, and defend the needy from the aggressively greedy. I've led a blessed life. What a kick for a kid from the projects.
‐‐ Gary Ackerman
I've personally never wanted to be 'the babe', and refuse to let vanity get in the way of my acting because I don't see my job as being a beautiful person.
‐‐ Zooey Deschanel
I've photographed just about everyone in the world. But what I hope to do is photograph people of accomplishment, not celebrity, and help define the difference once again.
‐‐ Richard Avedon
I've picked up a great appetite for pastrami on rye and a nice cream soda. It is fantastic. So I have to be careful or I'm going to just get really fat.
‐‐ Vincent Piazza
I've picked up a great appetite for pastrami on rye and nice cream soda. It's fantastic, but I have to be careful, or I'm going to get really fat.
‐‐ Vincent Piazza
I've pitched too many innings and pitched too many years - one game doesn't make or break my career.
‐‐ Jamie Moyer
I've planned book tours for myself, whether or not anybody wants to hear what I have to say. I've weighed in on things like what the cover looks like, what the copy looks like, how it's going to be promoted - just every aspect of it.
‐‐ Adam Mansbach
I've played a baseball player a few times, but in my career I've been blessed to have played a wide range of characters.
‐‐ Daniel Sunjata
I've played a couple of gay characters onstage, and it's always been something I'm comfortable with. I grew up in a family and a culture that doesn't have stigmas about sexuality.
‐‐ Seth Numrich
I've played a ghost, cat, snake. I've been funny, sad. I've been filmed flying on screen. So why not spend time on something else? I don't need to accept everything I'm offered.
‐‐ Maggie Cheung
I've played a lot in Las Vegas in my life.
‐‐ Julio Iglesias
I've played a lot of bad guys, 'cause that was the only work I could get. People saw my face and went 'oooh'.
‐‐ Laurence Fishburne
I've played a lot of characters who are creeps or weirdos, with a deep darkness underneath the surface.
‐‐ Zach Woods
I've played a lot of cops and a lot of bad guys, so I would like to play a regular person and just live a regular life with something interesting about it. I love the idea of television and kind of infiltrating that.
‐‐ Reggie Lee
I've played a lot of cops. In fact, my father was a cop.
‐‐ Erik King
I've played a lot of elegance and refinement, so to do something really down and dirty is a great attraction.
‐‐ Natalie Dormer
I've played a lot of mothers in my movies.
‐‐ Vera Farmiga
I've played a lot of really smarmy people in film, and it can be real fun, don't get me wrong. But it can be characters I'm not as excited to explore.
‐‐ Ty Burrell
I've played a lot of roles I haven't wanted to play, either because they needed someone in the theatre or because they couldn't do it without me 'cause they don't have anyone else the right age.
‐‐ John Mahoney
I've played a lot of very posh, sort of noble or aristocratic English people, which is nothing like what I am, so I feel that there is quite a lot distance there and have played a little bit far away from myself.
‐‐ James McAvoy
I've played a lot of villains. The villains are always fun because you can just go fractionally bigger than life. It's always a grey area because you don't want to end up mustache-twirling and making them a little false, but you always get to play a little more, whereas the lead guy has to be a little more straight.
‐‐ Neil Jackson
I've played a lot of younger, more coming-of-age roles as well as roles that aren't such an imposing physical presence.
‐‐ Josh Keaton
I've played a Nintendo Wii. I don't see it as a competitor. It's more of an expensive niche game device. We're selling a lot of PlayStation 3s now and it's still the best way to buy a Blu-ray player.
‐‐ Howard Stringer
I've played a prostitute now three times. I don't know how it's come about that way. It's just a matter of me growing up.
‐‐ Brittany Snow
I've played all kinds of historical characters, but they are stuck in movies that aren't their movies.
‐‐ Colm Feore
I've played all these extreme guys, but playing an everyman type has its own challenges.
‐‐ Andrew Scott
I've played almost 22 years in the major leagues, and I've never sat on the bench.
‐‐ Alex Rodriguez
