I've been a cook all my life, but I am still learning to be a good chef. I'm always learning new techniques and improving beyond my own knowledge because there is always something new to learn and new horizons to discover.

I've been a critic of the antiglobalization movement, and they've been a critic of me, but the one thing I respect about the movement is their authentic energy. These are not people who don't care about the world.
‐‐ Thomas Friedman
I've been a Cub all my life. I came up here when I was 20 years old and spent my whole career here in Chicago. I've always been an optimist; I believe you have to be in order to survive, to be honest with you - in health, with what I've been through. That's the way I am.
‐‐ Ron Santo
I've been a customer of the top venture capital firms, so I know exactly what they do and don't do.
‐‐ Marc Andreessen
I've been a Democrat all my life.
‐‐ Caroline Kennedy
I've been a Democrat, I've been a Republican, and I eventually became an independent because I don't believe either party has a monopoly on good ideas or strong leadership.
‐‐ Michael Bloomberg
I've been a diehard fan of 'The Simpsons' since I was a kid.
‐‐ Reid Scott
I've been a DJ, janitor, ditch digger, waitress, computer instructor, programmer, mechanic, web developer, clerk, manager, marketing director, tour guide and dorm manager, among other things.
‐‐ Sherrilyn Kenyon
I've been a DJ since I was about 13, and I started out as a hip-hop DJ. So I was always playing records that would just get people going. I was just doing parties and high school dances and whatever, and then, progressively, I started making my own music, writing little songs here and there, but it was never anything crazy.
‐‐ Gnash
I've been a 'Doctor Who' fan since I was a wee girl.
‐‐ Neve McIntosh
I've been a documentary photographer for much longer than I have been a filmmaker.
‐‐ Lauren Greenfield
I've been a fan of Bunji's freestyling since the first time I saw him perform, back in the early 2000s.
‐‐ Jillionaire
I've been a fan of Burberry for a very long time and they've been so supportive of me for many years.

I've been a fan of electronic music since the beginning.
‐‐ Jonathan Davis
I've been a fan of Jack Vance since before I was in high school.
‐‐ Ann Leckie
I've been a fan of Loretta Devine's, since I was a kid, from 'Waiting To Exhale,' and she's been in so many of my favorite movies and television shows.
‐‐ Kevin Daniels
I've been a fan of Metallica and friends with those guys for a long time and that was just great - half Alice In Chains and half Metallica playing together.
‐‐ Jerry Cantrell
I've been a fan of noir films since I was in high school.
‐‐ Francis Lawrence
I've been a fan of old country music, like Willie Nelson, Patsy Cline. I think I'm drawn to it because of the sense of sadness and sort of loss that a lot of good old country music has.
‐‐ Sarah McLachlan
I've been a fan of Showtime for a long, long time, and I've been a fan of the shows that it's had on.
‐‐ Josh Lawson
I've been a fan of 'The Defenders' since childhood, and Devil Slayer was always one of my favorite members of the team - especially during J.M. DeMatteis' wonderful run on the series.
‐‐ Brian Keene
I've been a fan of the Marvel Universe since I was a little child.
‐‐ Steven Weber
I've been a fan of The Rock ever since he first came to wrestling. Every time I went to school, I talked about The Rock. So when I finally got to meet him I couldn't believe it! When he walked through the door, I went bug-eyed! 'I'm standing next to The Rock, man!' He's huge. He's very nice, though.
‐‐ Khleo
I've been a fan of vampire fiction since way, way back - I loved Stephen King, Anne Rice, Peter Straub, Robert McCammon, Shirley Jackson, lots of great horror and paranormal fiction.
‐‐ Rachel Caine
I've been a fan since I was a kid of that sort of bump-in-the-night stuff. I don't tend to go in too much for the slash-and-burn-'em or the walker kills on 'The Walking Dead.' That stuff's not necessarily the stuff that frightens me or gets me going. It's more the terror of waiting, the thriller aspects, that I find compelling.
‐‐ Dallas Roberts
I've been a fanatic about working out all my life.
‐‐ Dan Gable
I've been a fascinated observer of grand public funerals since I was a kid, starting with the life-altering black-and-white images of President John F. Kennedy's funeral.
‐‐ David Horsey
I've been a fashion model for 15 years and designing is just an extension of my career. I still plan on modeling lingerie, but at the same time this is a business transition that I plan to have around for a long time.
‐‐ Alessandra Ambrosio
I've been a Fellow in a number of companies: Xerox, Apple, Disney, HP. There are certain similarities because all the Fellows programs were derived from IBM's, which itself was derived from the MIT 'Institute Professor' program.
‐‐ Alan Kay
I've been a financial journalist for 30 years.
‐‐ Peter Brimelow
I've been a foodie most of my life. I started when I lived for a year in Germany in my early 20s, and here was this new food environment, and I decided I needed to make sense of it. And I found it was the rules of economics that do the best job. Food is a capitalist product of supply and demand.
‐‐ Tyler Cowen
I've been a fortunate girl: I grew up in a family that loved me from day one. I feel well grounded and lucky from that. So everything else is a bonus, because I grew up in this family that I adored, and adored me, and I think when you have that, you are already ahead of the game in the sense of how you feel about yourself.
‐‐ Jaclyn Smith
I've been a free man.
‐‐ V. S. Naipaul
I've been a freelancer my entire career, and, at any given time, I have several deadlines for all sorts of things, whether it's some magazine piece or ad copywriting or anything.
‐‐ Meghan Daum
I've been a friend to people who may not have had perfect pasts.
‐‐ Jeff Greene
I've been a gamer all my life.
‐‐ Tiger Woods
I've been a godmother loads of times, but being a grandmother is better than anything.
‐‐ Vivien Leigh
I've been a golden boy for too long.
‐‐ Rod Stewart
I've been a good boy, I've never really been convicted of serious crime.
‐‐ Tommy Chong
I've been a good player my whole life and expect to continue to work hard and continue to do everything that I have done and try not to take any steps back. Try to stay the course and be the best player and the best teammate and hopefully the best leader I can be, and play as well as I can.
‐‐ Jared Goff
I've been a Goodwill Ambassador for the UNICEF and the UNICEF family for more than twelve years.
‐‐ Danny Glover
I've been a hip hop head forever. So when it turned out that we were gonna start getting celebrity guests for every show, I wanted rap guys from the get-go.
‐‐ Andy Milonakis
I've been a huge cricket fan since my teens, and I often used to go down to St. Helen's in Swansea in the summer. To me, it was like a 'rites of passage' experience to have the freedom of St. Helen's cricket ground.
‐‐ Steffan Rhodri
I've been a huge fan of all things paranormal my whole life. For me, it was always a question of when, not if, I was going to write a paranormal series. I dipped my toe in the genre by incorporating a mystical curse into the 'MacCarrick Brothers Trilogy.'
‐‐ Kresley Cole
I've been a huge fan of Chris Martin forever; it'd be awesome to work with him. He's really kind, and he's been really encouraging when we've met.
‐‐ Taylor Swift
I've been a huge fan of Hal Ashby forever. And I think that the distinctive thing about 'Coming Home' is the love story, and how - kind of emotionally real it is, and how these two characters allow each other to see their - kind of vulnerabilities. And it's great because it's a love story that's not really that cheesy, either.
‐‐ Jonathan Levine
I've been a huge fan of the cable network FX for a very, very long time. I think their brand of comedy is incredible. For me, as an audience member, that's a go-to channel.
‐‐ Chris Klein
I've been a huge fan of virtually every incarnation and spin-off of the 'Star Trek' franchise (don't get me started on 'Voyager,' though), but there's something about the purity of the original series that really appeals to me.
‐‐ Chris Roberson
I've been a huge Psychedelic Furs fan for a long time. I love Butler's paintings, too. I like all their songs. I'll even crank 'Pretty in Pink,' I don't care.
‐‐ Norman Reedus
I've been a jealous person myself. I've been distrustful, convinced that somebody's having an affair with somebody else. If you believe it in your head, everything looks like a lie. When you're looking for it, you always see it - even the change of expression in their face.
