I'm not a person who has people tell me things in parking garages.

I'm a very complex person. I have different people inside me, but it's still me.

I want people to understand me as a person with views, not just performing songs.

People think of me as a nice person because, I think, I have grown into a nice person.

I'm not thick-skinned at all, and of course I'm hurt by people attacking me as a person.

I've never really been the type of person who worries much about what people think of me.

When people told me I'd never make it, I listened to the one person who said I could: me.

People have this vision of me as a conservative person, but I'm actually quite adventurous.

There are too many people around keeping me grounded to go off the rails. I'm my own person.

I'm terrible at texting people back. It takes me, like, three days. I'm not a big phone person.

I'd say that I'm a very friendly, outgoing, happy person who just wants to make the people around me happy.

I'm almost like three people. There's me the, Dolly, the person. There's me, the star. And then there's me, the manager.

I don't like the idea the viewer can kind of sit there and go, 'Make me like this person.' People aren't inherently sympathetic.

I think a lot of ladies get quite scared about people like me, 'rock stars', and it can be hard to meet the right sort of person.

I'm a very aggressive person. I have slapped people when they have tried to grab me or my friends. I have reported people to the cops.

I'm not the kind of person who would want to go into a studio and manage other people and listen to the phone ringing. That's alien to me.

I never really called people out. It was more along the lines of teasing a person. It started for me in fifth grade on the basketball court.

It might surprise people to know that the person who convinced me to write the third memoir - 'The Hardcore Diaries' - was actually Vince McMahon.

In the Cleveland area, I have been instrumental in helping to save or create thousands of jobs. People know me there as a person who gets involved.

I thought, 'O.K., if I'm a valuable person and an independent entity, then I don't have to worry about what people think of me. I can reach out now.'

Ken Russell was wonderful to me. I'd heard all these things about how he'd yell and scream at people, but I found him to be a very nice, normal person.

Just as people behave to me, so do I behave to them. When I see that a person despises me and treats me with contempt, I can be as proud as any peacock.

I like meeting people on a genuine level. Like, 'OK, if this person wants to meet me and I want to meet them, let's do it.' I don't like forcing things.

I wish that people had an opportunity to watch me 24/7, like on 'Big Brother.' You'd see a person who is quiet and reserved and very analytical - a huge observer.

I was the only Black person on the set. It was unusual for me to be in a circumstance in which every move I made was tantamount to representation of 18 million people.

I know people seek me out to be their mentor, and I've chosen a few people I'm really invested in and nurturing their career and their aesthetic and just their person.

You should hear all the people talking to me about Heath Ledger, and yet I'm the only person shooting his mouth off out there about what everyone actually already knows.

A lot of people come up to me expecting to meet the person they have seen perform. It's not going to happen, unless my mania, my stage person, responds to them and not the real me.

Ever since I've become chairman, there have been profiles of me in People, George, The Washington Post, The Detroit News, and all of them could have been written by the same person.

There wasn't anyone who was specifically taking me under their wing. I definitely looked up to people, though, one major person being Naomi Campbell, of course. That's, like, a given.

I had no concerns - I had no reason to have concerns based on what was available to me about North's contacts with the private sector people, but I didn't think a CIA person should do it.

I learned to listen and listen very well. It helped me athletically and in the classroom as well. The person who talks a lot or talks over people misses out because they weren't listening.

I go up to people and ask if I can use them in my photos. Occasionally it is the person in question, as happened with James Hewitt. How embarrassing. He just laughed and said, 'You can't afford me.'

I do get text messages from people with sick jokes on when something terrible has happened. I don't read them; they make me ill. But it does happen, and I'm sure I'm not the only person who gets them.

When the media's attacking me, when the establishment Republicans are attacking me and the Democrats are attacking me, that means I'm the 'We the People' person, and I'm on the right course as far as I'm concerned.

People ask me what I'm writing. They think I'm Sandra Tsing Loh. Or they ask about stand-up. 'No, that's Margaret Cho.' I really think there is this kind of glomming, that they think we are somehow all the same person.

When one person does something that works, everyone else wants to do it. So it didn't surprise me at all to see people come with different versions of 'American Idol' and a lot of them are exactly the same but with different twists.

I started wondering why it is that people line up behind charismatic leaders. It's easy to understand the emergence of a figure who's narcissistic and compelling. But why people follow this person mindlessly - that was the hard question to me.

I never think about a shoot before I do it. Because there's no formula for people. What I try to do is to strip everything away rather than go in with preconceived notions. If I do that, I might miss a gem or a jewel that the person is offering me.

You know I'm 27, but I've been traveling since I was 16, 17 years old. You see a lot of things, you hear a lot of things, and it definitely matures you a lot faster than it would other people. I think in that case it's definitely made me a stronger person.

I began my career as an economics professor but became frustrated because the economic theories I taught in the classroom didn't have any meaning in the lives of poor people I saw all around me. I decided to turn away from the textbooks and discover the real-life economics of a poor person's existence.
