American - Actress
Born: February 8, 1953

In a weird way, I never wanted - I don't consider myself a very good writer. I consider myself okay; I don't consider myself great. There's Woody Allen and Aaron Sorkin. There's Quentin Tarantino. I'm not ever gonna be on that level. But I do consider myself a good filmmaker.

Sam Esmail

The artist who gave me the most inspiration and direction, especially as a singer - and I absolutely consider myself a singer, 100 percent - is Nina Simone. She's my ultimate pianist-singer-type person.

Rufus Wainwright

I consider myself much more of a blues singer now.

Boy George

I consider myself a Londoner first, and then I consider myself Brazilian before I consider myself English.

Kaya Scodelario

Obviously, I'm not a singer. I don't consider myself a singer.

Orlando Bloom

I consider myself to be first and foremost a comic writer. The way I entertain myself - especially in those long and grim hours in the office - is to write stuff I find funny.

Nick Cave

I always want to challenge myself as a writer. I consider myself more of a writer than I do a director.

Lena Waithe

I don't really consider myself a writer, but I am writing so I guess I'm a writer.

Meital Dohan

When I first started writing songs, I never intended on singing. I didn't really consider myself a singer at all. I was just kind of recording the demo vocals as a holding place until someone else came and sang.

Washed Out

I like to think I've grown as a writer and taken some risks, but I still consider myself to be a literary writer.

Kim Edwards

I consider myself a writer, foremost - a nonfiction writer.

Mike Cernovich

I DJ all the time, as much as I possibly can. I'll never stop. That's my security blanket, that's what I'm good at. I still consider myself a better DJ than a singer. I can DJ in my sleep.

Mayer Hawthorne

I would consider myself American in the way of what the actual idea that's in the Constitution is, not the way that it's performed: All men are created equal, freedom for all, that's something that I obviously believe in. I don't consider myself American because I'm not sure if those are the values that we actually prioritize as much as we need to, but I consider myself American if you look at the Constitution.

Rowan Blanchard

I consider myself as a singer first, but something that really helped me come into my own is that there's not a separation between me singing and me playing the guitar. The two fed off the other.

Shawn Colvin

I consider myself a Jewish writer - even if my characters frequently are not Jewish - in the same way, I guess, that I consider myself a Jewish man, even though I don't often attend shul.

Darin Strauss

I consider myself an actress first, a dancer second, and a singer third. Why? Because the dancer needs a reason to move-that's the actor informing the dancer. So I worked on my acting and gradually developed a singing voice.

Liza Minnelli
