I could never do a show, or be a personality like Howard Stern, where you take all that heat from critics. What he does, he does, but the critical heat would crucify me.

But KISS inspired me personally to pick up a guitar and go for it.
~By Mike McCready ~

~By Harold Ramis ~
Ultimately property rights and personal rights are the same thing.

~By Shaquille O'Neal ~
Whether we knew many who died on September 11 or personally knew none, we all lost something on that day. Innocence. Security. A trust that our homeland would always be safe.
~By Bob Taft ~
Personality is reduced and deformed with depleted thoughts and stagnant mind.

~By Marilyn Hacker ~

My personal advice is to go to school first and get a liberal arts education, and then if you want to pursue acting, go to graduate school.
~By Jillian Bach ~
When I died my hair red the first time, I felt as if it was what nature intended. I have been accused of being a bit of a spitfire, so in that way, I absolutely live up to the stereotype. The red hair suits my personality. I was a terrible blonde!
~By Amy Adams ~
We each have a personal myth, a vision of who we really are and what we want. Health means that part of what you want is to give to others.
~By George Weinberg ~
There was a reason my first substantial role after rehab was to play a maniac whose personal story ended badly. I knew what it was like to go those dark places. I played a guy who died as a result of his abuse.
~By Charlie Sheen ~
Usually, when I do a soundtrack, the music from the movie doesn't have anything to do with me personally. It's music to enhance to the film. My own stuff is more introspective and about what's on going in my head.
~By Stanley Clarke ~
He who never sacrificed a present to a future good or a personal to a general one can speak of happiness only as the blind do of colors.

~By Robert Vaughn ~
We all leave personal legacies for the people we know and love.
~By Christine Gregoire ~

~By E. M. Forster ~
To be idle requires a strong sense of personal identity.
~By Robert Louis Stevenson ~
There is no such thing as national advertising. All advertising is local and personal. It's one man or woman reading one newspaper in the kitchen or watching TV in the den.
~By Morris Hite ~

~By Frank Moore Colby ~
Glamour cannot exist without personal social envy being a common and widespread emotion.
~By John Berger ~
Virginity is such a personal thing. You can't judge anyone on it. A lot of young women feel they want to save themselves for the man who they think they'll love forever.
~By Joyce Brothers ~
You try to get the feel of any role, but it's much more difficult in the case of Christ because everyone has their own personal image of Him. It's a role you take on, knowing that no matter how you play it, you are going to disappoint many.
~By Jeffrey Hunter ~
I'm a secretive bastard. I would never let anybody watch me painting... it would be like somebody watching you have sex - painting is that personal to me.
~By Andrew Wyeth ~

~By Georg Simmel ~

~By Rebecca West ~
The functions of the family in a highly differentiated society are not to be interpreted as functions directly on behalf of the society, but on behalf of personality.
~By Talcott Parsons ~

~By Paul Twitchell ~
At that moment Mr. Clifford, quite unconscious that he and his most personal feelings and aspirations were subjects of discussion, was turning from the main road into the lower road.
~By Joseph C. Lincoln ~
If we are completely honest with ourselves, everyone has a dark side to their personalities.
~By Isabella Rossellini ~
And one of my other friends could not believe in God if he came down and tapped her on the shoulder. She's a biologist - a student at UCLA - and I don't judge her either, because I really believe that God is a personal opinion, and only that.
~By Amber Tamblyn ~
Creating fantasy is a very personal thing, but you can't take the process too personally.
~By Joseph Barbera ~
I personally hold Blair more responsible for this war than I do George Bush. The reason is, Blair knows better, Blair is not an idiot. What is he doing hanging around this guy?
~By Michael Moore ~
My personal assessment is that Dr. King is the greatest American we have ever produced. I can argue for Lincoln, I can argue for FDR, but for my money, King is the greatest American we have ever produced. His only weapon was love. He transforms a nation, transforms the world with one weapon and that of course being again the weapon of love. So that for me, King is the quintessential example of everything that I could ever want to be in my lifetime.
~By Tavis Smiley ~
I personally apologize to any person who felt anything less than respected and valued by myself.
~By Kevin Shelley ~
I think if you look at Andre then and now, you look at two different models. Of course it's personal preference, I think Andre now is a great role model for the kids. He has started training differently than he was before, and so on and so on.
~By Ivan Lendl ~
I'm still strongly opposed to antismoking laws, strongly opposed to any law that regulates personal behavior.
~By John Perry Barlow ~

~By Francesca Annis ~
The only sport I'm not interested in is horse racing. That's because I don't know the horses personally.
~By Nat King Cole ~
You might as well ask why a middle-aged man with no criminal record might put a paper bag over his head and rob a bank. I acted out of personal desperation.
~By Aldrich Ames ~
Personally, I don't like watching violence. I'd much rather see more skin.
~By Cameron Diaz ~
It was sort of that in-between area when people don't talk about their personal lives. That's the kind of life I think Kerry would be living now if it weren't for the Lopez character sort of outing her.
~By Laura Innes ~
It is my personal plan to assassinate by pistol either Richard Nixon or George Wallace.
~By Arthur Bremer ~
My web site is so fresh. The paint is still wet, but stay tuned, because I have lots of personal things, specifically about what is happening day-to-day, that I will keep updating daily.
~By David Hasselhoff ~
I do personal attacks only on people who specialize in personal attacks.
~By Al Franken ~

~By Alan Dean Foster ~
Personally, I can't see how anyone can produce any beautiful music out of being angry.
~By Chico Hamilton ~
As a teacher, as a propagandist, Mr. Shaw is no good at all, even in his own generation. But as a personality, he is immortal.
~By Max Beerbohm ~
He was an embittered atheist, the sort of atheist who does not so much disbelieve in God as personally dislike Him.
~By George Orwell ~
People ask me to describe myself, but it's a very personal thing. You don't feel comfortable.
~By Damon Hill ~
Besides the mistakes that are pointed out, I love the way readers become involved with the characters. When readers start asking about character motivations instead of concentrating on the special effects, it means you're connecting with them on a personal level.
~By Alan Dean Foster ~
You can meet a young person who goes to school and is really enthusiastic, but if a sufficiently strong personality convinces them that this is a waste of time, that person might flunk out.
~By Stanley Crouch ~

~By Robert Morgan ~
I had to examine myself very thoroughly to find the right path personally.
~By Fritz Sauckel ~

~By Jane Wagner ~
The foundation of our religion is a basis of fact - the fact of the birth, ministry, miracles, death, resurrection by the Evangelists as having actually occurred, within their own personal knowledge.
~By Simon Greenleaf ~
The personal things should be left out of platforms at conventions. You can argue yourself blue in the face, and you're not going to change each other's minds. It's a waste of your time and my time.
~By Barbara Bush ~
For me, personally, Mind, Body and Soul is my real debut.
~By Joss Stone ~
Make decisions about the President's personal security. He can overrule you, but don't ask him to be the one to counsel caution.
~By Donald Rumsfeld ~
The lesson of the last year is this: foreign policy can't be managed through the politics of personality, and our President would do well to take note of an observation John F. Kennedy made once he was in office - that all of the world's problems aren't his predecessor's fault.
~By Sarah Palin ~
So, I don't know what is going to happen when the CD comes out, how well it will sell, etc. But, from a personal point of view, it was a very worthwhile endeavor.
~By Geddy Lee ~
Personally, I just think rap music is the best thing out there, period. If you look at my deck in my car radio, you're always going to find a hip-hop tape; that's all I buy, that's all I live, that's all I listen to, that's all I love.
~By Eminem ~
I am a fighter. I believe in that which is right, and the truth is, I have been the Lone Ranger for the past thirty years and I will not give up the fight. I love my public and I'll fight for you. I'll continue to make personal appearances for my thousands of fans.
~By Clayton Moore ~
Anything that we can do to raise personal savings is very much in the interest of this country.
~By Alan Greenspan ~
I think Hannah gets nervous just like any other person would. She's like a dork, personally. She's just really, really fun.
~By Miley Cyrus ~
The winner of the hoop race will be the first to realize her dream, not society's dream, her own personal dream.
~By Barbara Bush ~
The point I am making is that in the more primitive forms of society the individual is merely a unit; in more developed forms of society he is an independent personality.
~By Herbert Read ~
That's another thing about today's stars that makes me glad that I'm not doing it any more. The stars come with ten people all around them. I don't know how you ever make any personal contact with them.
~By Julie Harris ~
My own personal connection with God was not in a religious sense, so I wasn't really thinking in that way when I got the role and when I started doing it.
~By Amber Tamblyn ~
What you have, what you are - your looks, your personality, your way of thinking - is unique. No one in the world is like you. So capitalize on it.
~By Jack Lord ~
Many people think I'm a television personality. I never have been! Just someone who acts it.
~By Graham Kennedy ~
The essential element in personal magnetism is a consuming sincerity - an overwhelming faith in the importance of the work one has to do.
~By Bruce Barton ~
To devise an information processing system capable of getting along on its own - it must handle its own problems of programming, bookkeeping, communication and coordination with its users. It must appear to its users as a single, integrated personality.
~By Cliff Shaw ~
My personal view is that such total planning by the state is an absolute good and not simply a relative good... I do not myself think of the attitude I take as deriving from Marx - though this undoubtedly will be suggested - but from Fichte and Hegel.
~By John Grierson ~
My responsibility is always and everywhere the same: to see in my brother more even than the personality and manhood that are his. My task is always and everywhere the same: to see Christ himself.
~By Trevor Huddleston ~
The people I chose to work with me on this album are there because I have a personal relationship with them.
~By Angie Martinez ~
Robert Johnson? No, I didn't know him, personally.
~By Muddy Waters ~
An album is such a personal thing. It's something I always wanted to do. It's me doing me, singing as me.
~By Danny Aiello ~
For most of the history of our species we were helpless to understand how nature works. We took every storm, drought, illness and comet personally. We created myths and spirits in an attempt to explain the patterns of nature.
~By Ann Druyan ~
Who knows the minds of men and how they reason and what their methodology is? But I am not going to extrapolate from the General Conference backing out on my book and make it a personal issue.
~By Walter Martin ~
But quite honestly, personally, I was much more concerned - I mean, there's not much I can do about my appearance obviously other than spending four hours in hair and makeup.
~By Diane Kruger ~
Man must cease attributing his problems to his environment, and learn again to exercise his will - his personal responsibility in the realm of faith and morals.
~By Albert Schweitzer ~
Certainly I get a lot personally out of it as well, there's the recognition and things like that but mostly I try to take that as an opportunity to explain why I hope we could see more projects like Apache out there and why it's a good thing for society.
~By Brian Behlendorf ~
It would make me a lot happier if I could meet up again next year with as many friends as possible from all over the world who I've met during my career. That's where the great opportunity lies, for me personally, in our role as World Cup host.
~By Franz Beckenbauer ~
And there was a real shedding of the old dogma, like boundaries of morality were being broken down and everybody was into the new party mode of just loving on each other. Which destroyed thousands of us. I lost 16 of my personal friends through that lifestyle.
~By Barry McGuire ~
We have a way of dealing with information that has sort of personal - personally identifying information in it. But there are legitimate secrets - you know, your records with your doctor; that's a legitimate secret. But we deal with whistleblowers that are coming forward that are really sort of well motivated.
~By Julian Assange ~
