I'm a survivor. But I'm also victim, too. Surviving has the connotation that you've been through it, you lived through it and that's wonderful - but a victim is what I was. "Survivor" is the more healing way to look at it.
Forget about surviving 40 years in the music business. Just surviving 27 years of Nicole Richie has been a struggle-and-a-half, I want to tell you. I stand here as a survivor, I want you to know, for all the parents out there.
The 'enduring theme' [in fiction] of male competition and female competition for the hero/survivor has taken us from the fittest surviving to the brink of no one surviving. Sex roles have gone from functional to dysfunctional almost overnight. This is why the enduring theme must be questioned now.
The feat of surviving is directly related to the capacity of the survivor.
Oh, I'm a survivor. My whole life has been surviving.
Honestly, surviving in 'Bigg Boss' was a cakewalk as compared to staying in 'Survivor,' where we had to live in primitive-age conditions, even generating fire on our own.
I see myself as a survivor, and I'm not ashamed to say I'm a survivor. To me, survivor implies strength, implies that I have been through something and I made it out the other side.
I got a lot of criticism for going back on 'Survivor' to play 'Survivor: All Stars.'
I like 'Bootylicious,' 'Survivor' - my little granddaughter loves 'Survivor.'
I don't like it to be compared to 'Survivor.' The idea of 'Survivor' is to kill each other off to win the prize. There's no killing in Gilligan's Island.
Surviving failure is one thing. Surviving success is... is challenging, with the consequences and what you lose along the way.
It always helps to know that other parents with special-needs children are surviving, and surviving well.
'Survivor' was not fixed. There's no way to fix 'Survivor.'
I have done a lot greater things than 'Survivor.' Going through SEAL training was much harder than 'Survivor.'
I was the last, the sole survivor. The most honorable thing a survivor could do was survive. If you stayed on your feet, stayed alive, you were the winner.
It wasn't the first reality show, but 'Survivor' was the first big network hit, and I'm proud to have played a part in that history as the winner of season six, 'Survivor: Amazon.'
