Me Quotes

Quotes rooted in the first person.

Several speak to the solitary nature of creative work, something also explored in Life Quotes.

If you step out and do what you feel is right... and you're not attacking a person, and you're attacking a process, and you're attacking the status quo... and if somebody wants to hold a grudge against me, that's on them. It's not on me, and I'm going to do what I think is right.
