My own basketball background was ripping up my ACL in a lawyer's league.
Of course, when I started my career, like anyone else who was 16 at the time, we were besotted by the rock-n-roll scene from America, and all I was interested in was having a career of my own.
My own favorite is something called Rogue Male.
Raised Roman Catholic up until 11 or 12, didn't stick. Went out into the world and did my own thing.
I more or less said I was going to try to make an existence off my daddy's royalties or I'm going to make it on my own. Daddy is a legend and he don't need me to keep him alive.
I don't do that much sampling. I create all my own sounds.
I started LearnVest with a tiny savings account where I paid designers, technologists, and even bartered... Because I started with paying for things myself with my own savings, it sharpened my focus of how to spend money.
I generally follow my own compass and make films about what's scaring me.
I can't watch scary movies right now, because living on my own, it kind of freaks me out.
I was more in opposition within my own party, and for a long while, I was part of the opposition. I had - Scoop Jackson was my candidate in '76. I made no bones about that.
Outside of my own home, England is my second home.
For all the challenges I've faced in my path to self-acceptance, I've also traveled it with my own set of luck and privilege.
In silence - and in self-defense - I figured things out in my own little way.
I went from being married to living on my own in L.A., to having a new boyfriend and just being totally self-sufficient and super independent. It's awesome. I love it!
I somehow sensed when I was a teenager that I wanted to do my own work. I was quite clear that I didn't want to be an interpretative kind of artist. I had an intuition about wanting to create my own form, in one way or another, whatever that would be.
Like all readers, I want my limits to be drawn by my own sensibilities, not by my melanin count.
Sexuality and sensuality are completely different things. Sensuality is something that you're born with. But sexuality is something I leave for my own mirror.
One of the things that happens when you write characters - and maybe this is my own sentimentality - is that I always find I have an instinct to protect them.
I've always made my own clothes since I was a little girl. I was a terrible sewer, but I was always cutting and customising.
I can take the spotlight that shines on me and shift it towards those issues that are infinitely more important than my own issues.
