When faced with a challenge, happy families, like happy people, just add a new chapter to their life story that shows them overcoming the hardship. This skill is particularly important for children, whose identity tends to get locked in during adolescence.

I'm a very private person. My life story isn't for everybody.

Barry Bonds

Everyone has a different life story. Things happen rapidly for someone, and things move slowly for others.

Barun Sobti

People want a beautiful story. Hopefully my life story is still beautiful, but that metro stuff doesn't make it much more pitiful.

Benjamin Clementine

Life Hope Want

I just use my life story as a kind of device on which to hang comic observations. It's not my interest or instinct to tell the world anything pertinent about myself or my family.

Bill Bryson

Life Family World

I've been writing all these books that have been largely autobiographical and yet, really, they don't tell you anything about me. I just use my life story as a kind of device on which to hang comic observations. It's not my interest or instinct to tell the world anything pertinent about myself or my family.

Bill Bryson

Life Family You

The first book was a life story that I was hesitant to write anyway because I didn't feel like I had a real life story... It was a surprise hit.

Bobby Bones

I'm going to have to call up Spike Lee. I did a cameo for him in 'Malcolm X,' and I'm trying to get him to do my life story and the history of the Black Panther Party.

Bobby Seale

We all have a life story and a message that can inspire others to live a better life or run a better business. Why not use that story and message to serve others and grow a real business doing it?

When faced with a challenge, happy families, like happy people, just add a new chapter to their life story that shows them overcoming the hardship. This skill is particularly important for children, whose identity tends to get locked in during adolescence.

I enjoy being out with the fans, I enjoy talking baseball, but to get up and tell my life story... I'm not comfortable doing that.

Bruce Sutter

I would love Jimmy Stewart to play my life story.

Chad Michael Murray

If they ever do my life story, whoever plays me needs lots of hair color and high heels.

Charlize Theron

I would say I'm an inspirational guidelines book. You can take my life story or scenarios or songs and relate to them and apply them to your everyday life.

For me, the American promise isn't just an idea or a theory - it's my life story.

Cristina Saralegui

Life Us Tory

During his brilliant campaign, President Obama wove a powerful narrative about the American we all hope for. And that hope was grounded in a very powerful reality: President Obama's own inspiring life story.

Cynthia P. Schneider

Power Life Hope

Through the potent example of his own life, President Obama enabled us to believe the best about America, and, therefore, about ourselves. That uplifting narrative - essentially equating the promise of America with his extraordinary life story - swept candidate Obama into the presidency.

My dad's life story was a string of kindness. He treated everyone as an equal, whether it was the bank teller or the bank president. He even attributed his survival to the courage of kindness.

Daniel Lubetzky

I have had the unfortunate experience of having someone write an unauthorised biography of me. Half of it is lies and the other half is badly written. My feeling is that if I'm going to write my life story, I ought to have my life first.

Dawn French

Life Experience Written

I'm working on my life story. I'm not decided if it's going to be a musical or a movie with music in it.

Dolly Parton

My dream role? I think to play Sammy Davis Jr. and his life story.

Elijah Kelley

Life Tory Think

One has to look at my life story to see what I've done. I've paid a heavy price that many people don't realize.

Ellen Johnson Sirleaf

I didn't really want to write something about my life story. I've kind of had a pretty smooth-sailing journey.

Ellyse Perry

I hope I didn't bore you too much with my life story.

Elvis Presley

Your life story is a gift, and it should be treated as such.

Emily V. Gordon

Everything sounds better when Billie sings it, so the only ones I'll keep for myself are ones that really feel just super personal to me in their content, like this is my life story and maybe not anybody else's.

Finneas

Your life story would not make a good book. Don't even try.

Fran Lebowitz

I used to think, 'How can I write my life story? I'm still living it.'

Frank Serpico

You know the way you tell your life story to a friend? I just told mine to a piano.

Freya Ridings

I really feel that my life story is a continuation of the Great American Dream - the immigrant who comes to this country and is allowed to excel. How many other countries would let me do that?

Friedrich St. Florian

My life has been such a blur since I was 18, 19 years old. I haven't even had time to contemplate my own life. By forcing yourself to write your life story you learn a great deal about yourself.

Grant Achatz

I take a whole life story and compress it into three minutes.

Harlan Howard

I told my whole life story in my book.

Heather Mills

You write your life story by the choices you make. You never know if they have been a mistake. Those moments of decision are so difficult.

Helen Mirren

They'll probably start working on my movie sometime... They are doing a complete movie of my life story. It will not be based on any negativity. It will be more about my life, from a kid, how I came up and why I came through.

Ike Turner

There's nothing more liberating about starting with something that is not written. You pretty much create the history of that character and that character's life story.

IronE Singleton

'IronE' stands for an eagle in flight with an unbroken spirit. I coined that term because it is indicative of my life story and the fact that I'm out of the inner city.

IronE Singleton

I had to stop traveling alone because I missed so many planes. When somebody runs up to you in the airport and begins to tell you their life story, you can't say, 'Excuse me, boo,' as they're weeping on your bosom.

Iyanla Vanzant

Anyone can write your own life story.

James McBride

In a time when supernatural dramas are taking charge, Dil Toh Happy Hai Ji' is a slice-of-life story. I have grown up watching such shows and I am sure the audience will love it too.

Jasmin Bhasin

I had written many things as a journalist, but I had no idea if I could write something scary or romantic or touching that wasn't me writing about someone else's life story. It was really exciting to try.

Jeff Giles

There's only one person in this race who will be there, who's always been there for you, and that's Hillary Clinton's life story.

Joe Biden

Everyone is necessarily the hero of his own life story.

John Barth

I always say that in any roomful of people, I could hive a novel out of any one person's family or life story.

Jojo Moyes

My life story is very special. I was raised with a special family as both my parents are teachers. They decided before I was born that I was going to be a chess champion.

Judit Polgar

Surely the whole point of writing your own life story is to be as honest as you possibly can, revealing everything about yourself that is most private and probably most interesting for that very reason.

Judith Krantz

'Confessions of a Video Vixen' is not a book about my encounters with celebrities, or anyone else for that matter. It is my life story, thus far, which just so happens to include some people you may have heard of.

Karrine Steffans

It is easy to make stuff up - and easy to dig up information and repeat it or report it to others. But to find a real life story with real people in real life situations is quite difficult and time-consuming. Yet, the rewards are worth the effort.

Lee Gutkind

I did a film called 'Victor' that I'm really proud of! It was a period piece and the true life story of Victor Torres. I play his mom, and it's a very moving film.

Lisa Vidal

It's very difficult to hand someone your whole life story to play, and you've never really met that person.

Liya Kebede

Yes, I believe stories are very important to all performances. The life story of the performer shapes their work, and the life stories of the audience alter how they receive the work, what they read into the performer.
