I've been a woman for a little over 50 years and have gotten over my initial astonishment. As for conducting an orchestra, that's a job where I don't think sex plays much part.
‐‐ Nadia Boulanger
I've been a workaholic since I was 18.
‐‐ Greta Van Susteren
I've been a working actor for many years, but it's not always been successful for me. I certainly struggled in the past.
‐‐ Jim Parsons
I've been a writer for 42 years and, yes, it is a full time job for me. Not a hobby, but serious work.
‐‐ Donald McKay
I've been a Yankees fan for a long time. When I was a kid in the mid-'70s, the Yankees were really great. They had Reggie Jackson in '77. I was 8 years old at the time. He hit three home runs to win the World Series in game six against the Dodgers, and I was just hooked.
‐‐ James Gray
I've been a Yankees fan since I was six.
‐‐ Bob Kerrey
I've been able to carve out spaces for myself. At Sundance, I'm in the mountains - my property is private. I get on a horse and ride for three, four hours. Sometimes five. I get lost. But when I'm in, I'm in.
‐‐ Robert Redford
I've been able to dig deeper into awareness of my own sinfulness, and take baby steps toward spiritual healing. I'm able to worship in an ancient communion full of awesome beauty, one that is now being blessed with quiet revival.
‐‐ Frederica Mathewes-Green
I've been able to do a lot of interesting things.
‐‐ Stephen Root
I've been able to do pretty well. I don't work as many consecutive nights as I used to, but I'm still working over 100 nights a year, so that's good for me.
‐‐ Mose Allison
I've been able to do things that allow me to hold my head up and still be popular.
‐‐ Sam Waterston
I've been able to do what I love and what I'm passionate about my entire life. I made, you know, an insane amount of money playing baseball.
‐‐ Curt Schilling
I've been able to find just as much interesting, exciting music through the Internet and iTunes... The personal interaction is not the same, and I'm not walking out of a store with a physical thing, so there's definitely an element that is lost, for sure.
‐‐ Colin Hanks
I've been able to get an excitement back in the water.
‐‐ Michael Phelps
I've been able to go on and have a successful career on Broadway and certainly the last five years in Las Vegas have been amazing.
‐‐ David Cassidy
I've been able to help my family financially since making my first hit record. I bought my parents a house. My husband and I have a property in Portugal and one in Mumbles, Wales, and my family are always coming out to visit us. It has been fantastic to have such a successful career and to have been able to help everyone.
‐‐ Bonnie Tyler
I've been able to learn a lot through diet and exercise, but I've got to tell you, it's having true love in your life and somebody who has your back 24 hours a day that makes the difference.
‐‐ Montel Williams
I've been able to look at the world differently from three continents practically. I've always lived between India and the U.S. When I married Mahmood I became a daughter-in-law of Africa. That really changed my worldview. I can see it from so many perspectives.
‐‐ Mira Nair
I've been able to make a good living as a musician, but now it's time to do all the other stuff.
‐‐ Robyn Hitchcock
I've been able to make films over the past 10 years but still maintain my anonymity.
‐‐ Chris Evans
I've been able to make some wonderful films, but sometimes you make films with great passion - great belief - and these films slightly don't work at the box office, and they become your favorite films.
‐‐ Yash Chopra
I've been able to perform in front of thousands of people on stage in a character that's nothing like me. I'm very shy.

I've been able to play a kid up to this point and pretend that I'm not a grown-up - well, at least for two hours a night!
‐‐ Cathy Rigby
I've been able to reach from the streets to the suites.
‐‐ Al Sharpton
I've been able to stay good because of my family and keeping God first. If you don't have God in your life, how are you going to navigate through this world?
‐‐ Keke Palmer
I've been able to watch and to weather a lot of different periods in entertainment, politics and life.
‐‐ Marilyn Manson
I've been able to work with great directors in Israel.

‐‐ Drake Bell
I've been absolutely terrified every moment of my life - and I've never let it keep me from doing a single thing I wanted to do.
‐‐ Georgia O'Keeffe
I've been accused countless times of writing gloomy futures. But to me, the texture of my sci-fi just feels like an extrapolation of current trends.
‐‐ Richard K. Morgan
I've been accused of being a bit too keen on my football, not least by my three ex-wives.
‐‐ Sean Bean
I've been accused of being a minimalist writer. I don't like a lot of verbiage in there.
‐‐ Kathy Reichs
I've been accused of being a shell designer - you start with a machine and enclose it. But in many cases, the shell is essential. A locomotive without a shell would be nonfunctional.
‐‐ Raymond Loewy
I've... been accused of being involved with every man I'm ever seen with or worked with. Maybe I have, maybe I ain't. I never tell if I have.
‐‐ Dolly Parton
I've been accused of being old before my time more than once. It's true that I've always felt an affinity for, and been comfortable around, older people. I attribute this to a childhood spent around my grandparents - and even a great-grandparent or two. I wouldn't trade those experiences for anything.
‐‐ Jon Meacham
I've been accused of being too flexible, too willing to mold myself to men, and that's something I'm constantly working on.
‐‐ Jane Fonda
I've been accused of being unambitious, but what I do takes up every minute. I'm executive producer, I'm a writer and the host.
‐‐ Stephen Colbert
I've been accused of having very long ingredient lists, and I guess there's some truth in that.
‐‐ Yotam Ottolenghi
I've been accused of my publicist of being too confessional... it's probably my Celtic upbringing.
‐‐ Pierce Brosnan
I've been accused of not really paying attention to a sentence unless my name comes up in it twice.
‐‐ Matthew Perry
I've been accused of riding roughshod over others' emotions, and I admit, when I feel a friend is being over-indulgent, my patience is in short supply.
‐‐ Mariella Frostrup
I've been accused of wanting to allow terrorists to have weapons to attack America.
‐‐ Rand Paul
I've been accustomed to being famous and having a certain level of attention for 14 years, but in the last few months, it's changed. It's like on the arcade game, I've gone up to the next level.
‐‐ Kylie Minogue
I've been acting a long time. I've been a member of SAG since 1982.
‐‐ Elden Henson
I've been acting all along. I understand that I haven't been in people's viewers, but acting has never not been a part of my life, just more time in between and less high-profile.
‐‐ Debra Winger
I've been acting for 15 years now, and the more you do, the more confidence you get about 'this is my career, and this is what I'm going to be doing.' Since I've started coming to the States, I've had a really great response. It's given me a lot of confidence to be more judicious about my own choices.
‐‐ Tom Ellis
I've been acting for 25 years, living out of suitcases on theater tours or film locations.
‐‐ Alfred Molina
I've been acting for 27 years, and anonymity has always been a part of what I do. Of course you get recognised every now and again, but 'Homeland' pushed me into a completely different strata, and that took me by surprise.
‐‐ David Harewood
I've been acting for 30 years. It's a grind.
‐‐ Kevin Connolly
I've been acting for a long time, and I've done a lot of things, and I've been maintaining my anonymity pretty well. I get recognized once a week, at most, here and there, so I'm reluctant to give that up.
‐‐ Denis O'Hare
I've been acting for a long time now, but as narcissistic as this sounds - and I don't mean it to sound - every time I see my name up there, there is real sense of pride.
‐‐ Ryan Kwanten
I've been acting for a while, but theater is pretty different. I've never been in a play.
‐‐ Miranda Cosgrove
