“I'm beginning to know myself. I don't exist.
I'm the gap between what I'd like to be and what others have made me.”
Começo a conhecer-me. Não existo.
Sou o intervalo entre o que desejo ser e os outros me fizeram.

“I'm telling what it was like for me. And I know it was not unique for me.”
Maurice Sendak (1928–2012) American illustrator and writer of children's books
NOW interview (2004)
Context: Maybe there are lots of children or certainly those who are not drawn to my work because they don't want to see those shadows. But, I'm telling what it was like for me. And I know it was not unique for me.
I've known many children, many unhappy and many disturbed children who don't know how to talk about it. And you know, the strangest thing... the fan mail I get from kids are asking me questions which they do not ask their mothers and fathers. Because if they had, why write to me, a perfect stranger?

“I know what I'm capable of — it's other people who have a problem with my image, not me.”
Julie Andrews (1935) British actress, singer, author, theatre director, and dancer
News of the World (June 1986)
Context: Every time I do anything, I have to ask myself: Is it a good role, and is it right to do it? There may be sex or nudity or violence in the script, and then you have to say: Is it gratuitous just out to shock people? Or is it there because it has to be? If role demands it, and it isn't gratuitous, I'll do it. It's my job, after all. I'm an actress. I know what I'm capable of — it's other people who have a problem with my image, not me. I hope I can do all sorts of things, not just one type who's all sweetness and light. Unfortunately, people forget it's a role and confuse it with you.
