Myself Quotes
Quotes on knowing yourself.
These quotes turn inward, questioning long-held traditions and how one sees oneself - one recalls identifying strongly as a mathematician rather than a technologist, while another admits, with some humor, to relying on charm rather than looks. Related reading includes I Am Quotes.

As a dancer, I've always checked my body constantly: 'Am I having a good day, or am I having a fat day?' I am probably more critical of myself than anyone else. I am very tiny - 5'1 and a half inches - so there's nowhere for weight to hide.

I just have to express myself somehow, either through singing, dance or fitness. You get sick of it; you have days where you think you don't want to do it, but generally after I've done something, I feel better. That's why I do the exercise: to earn my bar of chocolate and cappuccino.

It's been said of me that I must get out of bed every morning and go cartwheeling down the road. Of course it's not true.

Nobody taught me to play bottleneck. I just saw it and taught myself. I got an old bottle and steamed the label off, put it on the wrong finger, I basically did everything wrong until I met some of the Blues legends early in my career who taught me another way. I didn't have anyone to tell me women didn't play bottleneck.
