I have always said about myself I am a survivor because I am.

I am interested in outsiders. I suppose I have always felt like one myself.

I have always thought of myself as being Northern Irish because that's what I am.

I am always analysing myself; I am always critical of myself and always trying to improve.

I haven't always been the person I am today. I came into loving myself more than anything or anyone else.

Every article I've read about myself always winds up concluding that I am not, in fact, completely stupid.

I'm staggered by the question of what it's like to be a multimilionaire. I always have to remind myself that I am.

I believed in myself, and I've always worked very, very hard as an artist, and I am an artist in every sense of the word.

I don't see myself as anything special. I'm just Johnny Gargano. I always have been, no matter what I'm about to do or where I am.

I think everyone holds back. I am always censoring myself and I'm sorry about it. But I always have to consider whether my remarks might cause someone pain.

I just stay focused, and I always think about gymnastics. I am just doing what I always do... working really hard and pushing myself to the maximum and keeping myself motivated.

I always say my biggest competitor is myself because, whenever I step out there on the mat, I'm competing against myself to prove that I can do this and that I am very well trained, prepared for it.

I am white. I am Jewish. I am an immigrant. I am a Russian American. But until recently I haven't focused so much on those parts of my identity. I've always thought of myself simply as a normal, unhyphenated American.

I've been in thousands of conversations dripping with misogyny. I've initiated many of those conversations myself. From my fraternity roots to my bachelor days in New York, I know I have not always shown up in ways that I am proud of.

I came out with a few plaudits, and I don't really enjoy that because I am a team player. I don't shout about myself, and I've always been team-orientated, so maybe that is why I have always slipped under the radar throughout my career.

I always have separated myself from my critiques of collections. My judgment is not about whether I would wear it - but how the collection stands in the lexicon of an established designer. As I am a maximalist, not a minimalist, I don't wear Armani or Celine - but I so appreciate what they have achieved.
