A Quote by Jackie Mason

I didn't think it was fair to pretend to give of myself when I was so selfishly consumed with my own drives.

I'm very hard on myself. I think that drives me because I don't want to let people down or let myself down. That fear of failing drives me from being complacent.

Becky Sauerbrunn

I love you, Dominique. As selfishly as the fact that I exist. As selfishly as my lungs breathe air. I breathe for my own necessity, for the fuel of my body, for my survival. I've given you, not my sacrifice or my pity, but my ego and my naked need. This is the only way I can want you to love me.

Ayn Rand

In my own life, hate has consumed me at times. Or envy. When my TV show was canceled, I didn't think it deserved to be canceled because people liked it. It was canceled for the wrong reasons, you know? I was consumed with hate for about a year.

Jim Jefferies

I don't think my approach to acting is all necessarily in service of the character. I think, selfishly, I've put it in service of myself, my perspective on the world and helping my life.

Jake Gyllenhaal

The pressure I give myself from within is what drives me.

Christian Pulisic

I don't really look at myself as a power hitter. I look at myself as someone who drives the ball to the gaps, hits line drives.

Andrew McCutchen

For at least another hundred years we must pretend to ourselves and to every one that fair is foul and foul is fair; for foul is useful and fair is not. Avarice and usury and precaution must be our gods for a little longer still.

John Maynard Keynes

I think people become consumed with selling a book when they need to be consumed with writing it.

Ann Patchett

Give away everything you have learned. If for no other reason, do it selfishly; in order to get more, you must give more.

David Cottrell

Golf is something I do selfishly for myself.

Tiger Woods

In photos, I don't know who the real me is - it's all pretend, just pretend. There's not much of myself in my work. If I'm looking in the mirror and I'm working, I'm looking at my make-up and my hair. It's not the same as looking at myself.

Linda Evangelista

I have containers and containers of clothes that I've hoarded in my attic, and I probably should give them away to give good use, but I am selfishly wanting to hold on it because I'm like, 'What if I need that?'

Jessie James Decker

Character drives the story, and the story drives the book. I don't think about where the action should go, or how much there should be, until it's required by the characters. When I find myself adding conflict just because I'm afraid that the reader might get bored, I know I've taken a wrong turn somewhere.

Nick Petrie

AT&T is interested in anything that drives more bandwidth requirements, and Apple TV drives significant bandwidth, and the iPhone drives significant bandwidth, and so I think it's a very logical fit.

Randall L. Stephenson

Given the way the system was, what could I do as I one person, other than devote my life to fighting to make it different? If I had allowed myself to be filled with hate, I probably wouldn't even be alive, because that hate could've killed me. That hate would've blinded me to my contributions in terms of how I could make a difference. You can't think straight when you're consumed by hate and focused on destroying someone else. Instead, I was bent on trying to destroy a system that was not fair to all of us, and I continue to do that.

Shirley Sherrod

I always tell myself that when you're playing a character, pretend they're on trial and you're giving the best witness of their life. You really need to think about every element of the character and represent them properly, as if they were a real person. You want to give 100 percent of what they're worth and what they deserve as people.
