“When I started 70 odd years ago I was told that to be a success you've got to have talent, personality and luck. I've had 99.9 percent luck and the other miniscule percentage would be having had the luck to have a little bit of talent, being able to stand upright and that's it. It's all luck.” YearsLittlesWould BeAbleBitsTalentPersonalityLittle BitPercentYears AgoLuckOddPercentages Author:Roger Moore
“When you're more mature, you do start telling the truth, in odd situations. "I'm sorry, I've broken a glass here. Is that expensive? I'll pay for it. I'm sorry." And you do that so that people in the room might go, "What a strong personality that person has. I like to have sex with people with strong personalities."” PeoplePersonsMightStrongSexRoomsPaySituationBrokenPersonalitySorryGlassesOddExpensiveTelling The TruthMatureI'm SorryStrong PersonStrong Personality Author:Eddie Izzard
“It is an odd fact that what we now know of the mental and emotional life of infants surpasses what we comprehend about adolescents. . . . That they do not confide in us is hardly surprising. They use wise discretion in disguising themselves with the caricatures we design for them. And unfortunately for us, as for them, too often adolescents retain the caricatured personalities they had merely meant to try on for size.” KnowsTryingFactsUseWiseDesignEmotionalPersonalitySizeOddSurprisingAdolescenceInfantDiscretionCaricaturesEmotional Life Author:Louise J.

“I'd be dong something creative - something I could express my personality through. I enjoyed working as a gardener before music consumed more of my time.

“We have had a good working relationship. He has got a tough job. We had different ideas sometimes and we got on pretty well. I have challenged him and he has challenged me. His form has been up and down and that can be tough. I suppose we've been lucky. Sourav and I complement each other. We are two different personalities. He is softer than me.

“My pieces usually are programmed on concerts in which the other works are standard repertoire. My music always sounds very different when it's on a concert of all contemporary music. It always seems to stick out at an odd angle. This also makes me think of a question I sometimes debate with my friends: does the music of a composer directly reflect that composer's personality? This is a difficult one, but I think it usually does.” ThinkingDifferentSometimesDifficultPersonalityDebateOddComposer Author:Jennifer Higdon
“I've had such an odd career. I always wanted to be a great actor. I wanted to be Katharine Hepburn - ish - there was a bit of nobility about her. Instead I've always felt like the mutt standing on the sidelines, panting and saying, "Me, too! How about me?" That's just part of my personality.” PersonalityOddNobilityHepburn Author:Sally Field
