My own life is wonderful, but if I had to live the life of someone else, I'd gladly choose that of Julia Child or Dr. Seuss: two outrageously original people, each of whom fashioned an idiosyncratic wisdom, passion for life, and sense of humor into an art form that anyone and everyone could savor.

My own life was filled with so much love and joy that when depression struck, it was like a prison door slamming shut and I was being placed in an isolation cell. No one else could possibly be feeling what I was. I hated my depression and all of its symptoms.

My own memories are packed tightly away. I very rarely bring them out for viewing.

‐‐ Mike Honda
My own mother, my sister and nearly all the women in my family had full-time jobs as mothers. They were wonderful at it. They drove their children back and forth to soccer, skating lessons, piano lessons, private schools, but I sensed, even in my own mother, a kind of distant dissatisfaction.
‐‐ Janine di Giovanni
My own mum cared about Hollywood, and I didn't. I wanted to act, and I loved the creativity of it, but I didn't care for the lifestyle.
‐‐ Drew Barrymore
My own musical ambitions were born when I was five, watching the Ed Sullivan Show on TV. When Elvis Presley burst on to the screen, singing 'Don't Be Cruel,' I felt my first sexual thrill, though I didn't know what it was at the time.
‐‐ Suzi Quatro
My own nature hovers between neurotic and paranoid. I've developed the habit of mentally listing things that make me optimistic about the future. I do it every day.
‐‐ Martha Beck
My own novel, 'The Silver Bough,' about the inhabitants of a remote town at risk of being overwhelmed by Scotland's mythological past, was once criticised by a disgruntled fan as 'fantasy for people who don't read fantasy.'

My own parents divorced when I was six. I was raised with my brother Joel by our mother on the East Coast, visiting my father in Los Angeles during holidays. When your parents are divorced, you don't know anything else, do you?

My own parents were touchy-feely.
‐‐ Ben Stiller
My own parents were very un-neurotic, so I never thought that I had to change enormously in order to become a parent.
‐‐ Helen McCrory
My own particular feline companion answers, or rather doesn't answer, to Cinnamon. One of my kids must have given her the name, even though she's mostly gray and white.
‐‐ Michael Dirda
My own passion for caravan holidays has been occasionally commented on by the media. It is certainly something that I am proud of.
‐‐ Margaret Beckett
My own path towards wellness has been a long and dynamic one. It's taught me that healing from the inside out takes time and there can be great value in various sources of guidance.
‐‐ Carre Otis
My own perception is that there are two tiers of countries, one, the original ASEAN, and then the new members. The new members are in various stages of development.
‐‐ Sellapan Ramanathan
My own perception of cops was that they came into your neighborhood, they roughed up people that you loved for no reason and took them away. As a child you saw that.
‐‐ Sonja Sohn
My own perception of that is somewhat colored by where people ask my advice, which is still, of course, about changes to Python internals or at least standard libraries.
‐‐ Guido van Rossum

‐‐ Amber Tamblyn
My own personal favorite Cher song is the unforgettable Gypsies, Tramps and Thieves.
‐‐ Brent Spiner
My own personal geek culture years were when I was much younger. I collected comic books up until a certain age. I wanted to be a comic book artist when I was younger.
‐‐ Greg Mottola
My own personal, moral, spiritual, religious, etc. beliefs don't oppose same-gender marriage.
‐‐ Ed Case

My own position is so far on the obsessive side of preparation and professionalism that I fear my point of view is not going to be shared by anyone.
‐‐ Jonny Wilkinson
My own position is, that it is largely up to the work itself to suggest the nature of these referential points without dimensions in and through the processes by which the distance between them is maintained.

My own preferred fitness regime is to use my bicycle.
‐‐ Paul Hollywood
My own pregnancies were all about me, me, me. My aches, my pains, my swollen feet, and my body that looked like the Michelin Man.
‐‐ Barbara Park
My own rapping skills are quite good, actually. You get this thing, I think it's called Songify or AutoRap, and you talk into them, and they auto-tune it and make it into a quite interesting musical number. And I got one where it builds it into a rap.
‐‐ Aidan Gillen
My own reaction from a distance is that Pol Pot's demise as the leader of the Khmer Rouge was inevitable, and that his own paranoia did him in as much as anything else.
‐‐ Sydney Schanberg
My own recipe for longevity includes considerable amounts of fruits and vegetables. An additional major responsibility for the maintenance of our bodies is regular exercise; at least 4 to 5 times a week.

‐‐ Alice McDermott
My own singing voice is not very good and I don't think that anybody really sings in their own voice.
‐‐ Jane Horrocks
My own skin-care ritual is quite simple and straightforward; I don't like a lot of fuss, surprisingly. My products are designed to make you look and feel better. I think there are a lot of men out there who want and need the same products.
‐‐ Tom Ford
My own special knowledge is about the Abenaki people and, to some degree, my Iroquois neighbors. But whenever I write anything about another tribal nation, I always get a lot of help. Not just from books, but from people who belong to that tribal nation.
‐‐ Joseph Bruchac
My own special relationship with America began at an early age. My father, a fellow journalist, named me after Franklin Delano Roosevelt.
‐‐ Lionel Barber
My own strong feeling was that the gay liberation movement really got national attraction in the truest sense of the word later in the '70s, in the '80s, and especially in the '90s.
