It's still pretty surreal. I wake up every day and just pinch myself and kind of think about how far I've come and all the stuff I have done.

Victor Cruz

Sometimes I have to pinch myself to think: have I really come this far? Because it is quite different, where I find myself today, from where I started off, in the streets of Waterloo, in the suburbs of Liverpool - that's for sure.

Cherie Blair

I don't like to use the word 'legacy' because it sounds a bit like I'm full of myself, but I am trying to see how far I can take myself, how far I can push being the best in the world.

Jason Day

I pinch myself every day anyway. Everyone knows the road I have had in the game and how I have managed to get myself to where I am today.

Jamie Vardy

I had my children after eight years of marriage. It was a dream come true. I still pinch myself.

Nita Ambani

Once in a while, I have to pinch myself to remind myself I am Nobel laureate, but that is not part of my work plan every day.

Mohamed ElBaradei

But in reading great literature I become a thousand men and yet remain myself. Like the night sky in the Greek poem, I see with a myriad eyes, but it is still I who see. Here, as in worship, in love, in moral action, and in knowing, I transcend myself; and am never more myself than when I do.

C. S. Lewis

It's tough when you started out as young as I did to look back and see how far I've come. I try to be easy on myself and go 'Look man, you were younger, you were learning; you learn, you grow.' But I'm not my best judge. I always feel like my best work is still ahead of me.

Matt Dillon

I still pinch myself that I ended up in Hollywood. And I am still surprised at the fans.

Verne Troyer

Look, we all know how hard it is for us to - I'm going to speak for myself - find a still photo of yourself that you like. Like how many times do people send photos and you're like, "Oh burn it."

William Mapother

You can't imagine how hard I am on myself. Nothing pummels me like my own doubts, the feeling of how far I still have to go.

Nicole Krauss

I've been reading The Feminine Mystique by Betty Friedan, which is obviously very dated now but still relevant. It's so interesting to see how far we've come and how far we haven't come with all these myths that people put onto women.

Rose Byrne

How many times have I failed before? How many times have I stood here like this, in front of my own image, in front of my own person, trying to convince him not to be scared, to go on, to get out of this rut? How many times before I finally convince myself, how many private, erasable deaths will I need to die, how may self-murders is it going to take, how many times will I have to destroy myself before I learn, before I understand?
