Me Quotes

Quotes rooted in the first person.

These are quotes centered on 'me' - childhood memories tied to family traditions, like a grandfather's holiday reading passed down for decades, alongside admissions about how humor can double as self-protection. Several speak to the solitary nature of creative work, something also explored in Life Quotes.

People ask me what the appeal of 'True Blood' is and I think there are so many answers to that question, but I think that when there is so much excitement for what you do there is no way that...

Quotes by Michelle Forbes

Everyone always wants to talk about 'True Blood' and 'Battlestar Galactica' - no one's even interested in 'Durham County.' It blew my mind when I came to Canada and no one asked me about the show. So many people didn't...

Quotes by Michelle Forbes

I did a show called 'Wonderland' a few years back, and I was fortunate enough to spend a full-on two weeks - I'm talking 13-15 hours a day - with the doctors and patients at Bellevue in New York. That...

Quotes by Michelle Forbes

I'd never really considered doing young-adult novels, but one of the things that a friend pointed out to me is that I've actually had a teenage character in almost every adult novel that I've written.

Quotes by Michelle Gagnon

If you press me to say why I loved him, I can say no more than because he was he, and I was I.

Quotes by Michel de Montaigne

When I play with my cat, who knows whether she is not amusing herself with me more than I with her.

Quotes by Michel de Montaigne

There is no pleasure to me without communication: there is not so much as a sprightly thought comes into my mind that it does not grieve me to have produced alone, and that I have no one to tell it...

Quotes by Michel de Montaigne

The worst of my actions or conditions seem not so ugly unto me as I find it both ugly and base not to dare to avouch for them.

Quotes by Michel de Montaigne

If a man urge me to tell wherefore I loved him, I feel it cannot be expressed but by answering: Because it was he, because it was myself.

Quotes by Michel de Montaigne

Of course it's fun writing about an egomaniac, but I know there are going to be reviewers who've never met me, who don't know anything about me, who are going to say this is autobiography: he's just changed the names...

Quotes by Michel Faber

I never, ever want to be in a position where people are sitting round a table, saying, 'We've got this book. I don't really get it, but we paid for it, so we've got to sell it.' I'm not Tony...

Quotes by Michel Faber

One of the things my success as an author has forced me to face is how dysfunctional... Maybe that's a strong word, but how obsessive I am.

Quotes by Michel Faber

I'm constantly listening to music and thinking about it and compiling my own cassettes and CDs in obsessively specific order. I have quite lunatic agendas for what I want to achieve. They won't make sense to anyone other than me,...

Quotes by Michel Faber

What strikes me is the fact that in our society, art has become something which is only related to objects, and not to individuals, or to life.

Quotes by Michel Foucault

It is often said that definitions of Islamic government are imprecise. To me, however, they seemed to have a clarity that was completely familiar and also, it must be said, far from reassuring.

Quotes by Michel Foucault

I don't mock things, which makes me more vulnerable to mockery myself. If you're cynical, you're protected from mockery. But I have to be nice. I don't think I have irony. A sense of humour, yes, but not irony.

Quotes by Michel Gondry

I learned to drive when I was 35. I'm driving like an old lady and very close to the wheel. I don't take many risks, and when people yell at me I say 'sorry, sorry, sorry!' I don't have road...

Quotes by Michel Gondry

To me the recognition of the audience is part of the filmmaking process. When you make a movie, it's for them.

Quotes by Michel Hazanavicius

I think being a foreigner and talking about Hollywood allowed me to use some cliches and some references that an American would maybe not use.

Quotes by Michel Hazanavicius

This is the problem with language, and this is what makes silent movies fun, because the connection with them, me or the audience is not with the language. There's no question of interpretation of what we are saying it's just...

Frequently Asked Questions

What sort of quotes will I find on the "Me" page?
These are quotes where the speaker is talking directly about their own life and habits — remembering a grandfather's copy of 'A Christmas Carol' that sparked a piece of writing, describing intellectual work as "essentially a lonely process," or admitting that comedy can be a defense mechanism. They're personal snapshots rather than general statements.
Are these quotes about confidence or vulnerability?
A bit of both. The line about comedy being "a weapon so that you can't hurt me" is a good example — it shows someone being honest about vulnerability while still sounding self-assured. For more of that same reflective tone, the I Am page is worth a look.
Can I share "Me" quotes even if they're not about me specifically?
Definitely. Even though these are first-person reflections, most people relate to the underlying feeling — nostalgia over an old book, needing solitude to focus, or hiding behind humor. Share whichever line matches how you're feeling today.
How is "Me" different from <a href="/life-quotes">Life</a> quotes?
Life quotes tend to comment on the world more broadly, while the quotes here stay rooted in one person's specific memories and habits — a grandfather's book, a private writing process, a particular way of working. It's a narrower, more personal lens.
What if I'm looking for something closer to everyday thoughts rather than deep reflection?
Then you might prefer Like quotes or Good quotes, which lean a little lighter. The "Me" collection is more suited to quiet, reflective moments.

Others touch on early body-image pressures absorbed from family members, showing the personal cost of comparison at a young age. See also I Am Quotes and Like Quotes for related first-person perspectives.
