'I realize they say we are 'wacko' and 'out there, but we are the most rational of all.
‐‐ Brigitte Boisselier
I realize Tiger Woods is Tiger Woods; he's intimidating.
‐‐ Keegan Bradley
I realize we're not promised tomorrow. Believe me, I realize that. But if God blesses me and lets me stay, I love my life so much, it is such a good life. I am eager to throw myself at His feet, but I don't want to get on the first busload that is going.
‐‐ Barbara Mandrell
I realize what it means to be financially comfortable, and I want to be that. But I'm lucky enough to be in that position. And I'm also careful. I save 38 percent of my earnings after expenses, before taxes.
‐‐ David Duval
I realize you can't please everyone.
‐‐ Gemma Ward
I realized a career is built as much on what you don't do as what you do do.
‐‐ Rose McGowan

‐‐ Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu
I realized at a young age that sequence in an album is almost as important as the songs that are on the album.
‐‐ Dr. Dre
I realized at one point that David and I had not made a record together in almost 26 years and I thought that that was absurd because, first of all it had gone so fast, I didn't really realize, neither did David, that it had been that long.
‐‐ Graham Nash
I realized by using the high notes of the chords as a melodic line, and by the right harmonic progression, I could play what I heard inside me. That's when I was born.
‐‐ Charlie Parker
I realized crime isn't the only way you can judge people. People can do good things, and people can do bad things. It's probably better to understand people for the good things they do.
‐‐ Takeru Kobayashi
I realized during my time as a chaplain that I didn't want to be a minister.
‐‐ John Green
I realized early on, I'm more interested in Baryshnikov than some dancer who wants to do a rock show with ballet.
‐‐ Savion Glover

‐‐ Darren Star
I realized early on, maybe better than some of my competitors did, that a textile business can run only if you have scale. I decided to horizontally and vertically integrate, adding everything from spinning, dyeing, weaving, and stitching to processing and packing.
‐‐ Mian Muhammad Mansha
I realized early on that being an author is a hugely misunderstood job. Because there are no pay grades and very little structure, people make interesting assumptions about the profession.
‐‐ Sara Sheridan
I realized early on that I always hated girls who used their femininity to get what they wanted.
‐‐ Amy Locane
I realized early on that I was pretty good at organizing. A lot of it was about control. While my friends were out getting hammered at concerts, I was making money. I am a control freak.
‐‐ Kevin Plank
I realized going back and writing and explaining in details the difficulties I had lived actually became emotional again. It's like therapy but sometimes therapy can be painful. But it's part of life and part of the autobiography so I'll have to finish it sooner or later.
‐‐ Jenni Rivera
I realized horses have personality when I bought one and I had one, who's now out to pasture, a horse named Drifter. Before that, I was a city boy. Horses, I used to go out to the LaBagh Woods and ride at a stable once every two years or something; no idea about horses. Dogs, I knew, had personalities, but not horses.
‐‐ Michael Mann
I realized how far-reaching the effect of hip hop was when I walked by a jewelry store named Bling in a small, rural town in France. Hip hop has made a huge impact on urban culture. Yet many brands still don't speak to young people in a tone and manner that's representative of them.
‐‐ Steve Stoute
I realized how important it was to know something about aviation, and it was something I was interested in, so I followed my brother's footsteps and obtained my pilot's license.
‐‐ Ellen Ochoa
I realized how Latina I was, and then also, at the same time, how not Latina enough I was, because I'm born and raised in Los Angeles. I speak Spanish, but I don't speak perfect Spanish, not like a native speaker.

‐‐ Lauren DeStefano
I realized I could do music for the sake of music, not the other things that come with it. That was a major shift.
‐‐ Mike Posner
I realized I could make a difference. I could be their voice; I could fight for them... There's no better place to fight for working families than the governor's chair.
‐‐ Kate Brown
I realized I couldn't be a journalist because I like to take a side, to have an opinion and a point a view; I liked to step across the imaginary boundary of the objective view that the journalist is supposed to have and be involved.
‐‐ Annie Leibovitz
I realized I couldn't have one foot in the fiction world and one foot in the nonfiction world, which is why 'Here I Go Again' is so not me. I didn't graduate from high school in the '90s, I never listened to metal music, and I don't time travel.
‐‐ Jen Lancaster
I realized I didn't need to go to work every day. I could work for the pleasure and the challenge, not for the mortgage payment.

‐‐ Sally Schneider
I realized I do tragedy better than comedy.
‐‐ Paula Hawkins
I realized I had a novel on my hands, but didn't know where it was going to go. So I thought, 'I'm going to do everything that you're not supposed to do when you plan a novel; I'm going to step back and let this thing take itself wherever it wants to go, and I'm not going to worry about how things connect until later on.'
‐‐ Hari Kunzru
I realized I had been keeping people around even when deep down I knew they were bad for me. I had overridden myself.
‐‐ Gabrielle Union
I realized I had it made because you don't have to destroy anything to get honey. You can just use the same things over and over again, put it in a quart canning jar, and you've got $12.
‐‐ Burt Shavitz
I realized I liked being in the studio and working on translating the ideas into recordings.
‐‐ Ariel Rechtshaid
I realized I love motivating and I love empowering and I love inspiring people. I did that as an athlete for 18 years, and I am able to do that as a motivational speaker now as well as doing work on television.
‐‐ Dominique Dawes
I realized I'm not the kind of person who wants to go with the flow and fit in. I'm an agitator, I'm opinionated, I'm a libertine and leader.
‐‐ Alexis Arquette
I realized I made a big mistake and if I could have it over again, I would do it so much differently.
‐‐ Hansie Cronje
I realized I probably wouldn't make another film that cuts through commercial and creative things like 'Godfather' or 'Apocalypse.'
‐‐ Francis Ford Coppola
I realized I really enjoyed theatre, so I did shows up in Seattle like 'To Kill a Mockingbird' and 'Lost in Yonkers.'

‐‐ Tom Selleck
I realized I've spent all my life creating a past.
‐‐ Nicolas Roeg
I realized I was a country person - I'm just not used to small spaces.
‐‐ Alice Walker
I realized I was a girl playing with all of these great musicians, but race and gender never did cross my mind, really, until other people started talking about them. They weren't really an issue for me.

‐‐ Justine Bateman
I realized I was an attractive older woman who never wanted to settle down.
‐‐ Cindy Gallop
I realized I was gay in the shower one day with Barbra Streisand. It happened while I was lathering, rinsing, and repeating with Pert Plus. As I was belting out the chorus to my favorite song from 'Funny Girl,' 'Oh my man, I love him so, he'll never know...' it hit me.
