This collection holds 10 me own my own quotes, drawn from writers, leaders, artists and thinkers across the QuoteForever archive. The most quoted voices here are Walter Becker, Tink and Twyla Tharp.

They are ordered so that each author has a say before anyone repeats, which means the first page gives you the range of the topic rather than one writer's back catalogue.

Use the grid and list views to change how much of each quote you see, follow an author's name to read everything else they said, or open a quote on its own page to copy it, share it, or turn it into a picture quote.

It wouldn't bother me at all not to play on my own album.

I'm in my own little lane, doing just me. I don't have to fit in.

My own physicality, not an abstract idea, makes me a choreographer.

I originated my own cliches, but I'm finding that's not working for me anymore.

I put less stock in others' opinions than my own. No one else's opinions could derail me.

My staff are pretty protective, it drives me nuts. I like to just do my own thing, that's pretty well it.

No one ever said that I couldn't create my own projects, but no one actually told me that I could be an executive producer, either.

Backstage, I do my own thing and have my own spots in the locker room, so environmentally, it's not very different for me. But the backstage environments are vastly different, but that is mainly because of the personalities.

But one of the hardest things for me to do was to access anger. I could do it on stage. But when I did it on film it was hard for me. That probably has to do with the intimacy of film. And my own personal issues with expressing anger. So I had to learn how to do that.

I saw Damien Rice in Dublin when I was 13, and that inspired me to want to pursue being a songwriter... I practised relentlessly and started recording my own EPs. At 16, I moved to London and played any gigs I could, selling CDs from my rucksack to fund recording the next, and it snowballed from there.
