Alice Roosevelt Longworth Quotes

Like Frank Sinatra, I'm doing it my way.

This is my way of living, and nobody's gonna tell me otherwise.

I think one thing my mother always instilled in me was a sense of individuality. Being an only child, I never thought I had to rely on anyone. I was never afraid to be alone and I was never afraid to be my own person. So when all my friends were like, "Let's smoke weed," I was like, "I'm not doing it." It wasn't because I was trying to be a rebel or because I didn't like it or I was anti-drugs. I just didn't do it because I didn't want to do it, and if I didn't want to do it, I wasn't doing it. That was it.

If a life could have a theme song - and I believe every worthwhile one has - mine is a religion, an obsession, a mania or all of these expressed in one word - individualism. I was born with that obsession, and I've never seen and do not know now a cause more worthy, more misunderstood, more seemingly hopeless and tragically needed.

I've always done things my way.

I'm very big on doing my own thing.

I'm not driven by being understood.

I'm nobody's deputy. I am who I am. I'm my own person.

I am definitely an individual.

We all stick up for ourselves and I think that's why we stand out, because we really don't care what other people think.

I don't care what anyone says. It's my life, and I can do what I like.

I'm totally committed to the cause of individuality. That's the only thing I stand by: independence.

What I say goes. I'm hitting shots that I want to hit. I'm doing the things that I want to do. I play it my way.

I got into figure skating for the art of it, as well as the sport, and how much I love it. And, you know, I do everything that I want. I march to my own drummer. Sometimes people have an issue with that, and I can't control it.

I have a fiercely independent spirit.

Who ever lives life on their own terms?

I do things my way. I don't do things to make people happy or appease them.

If I want to do something like the Batman mask, I just do it. I was like this all the time; I think nobody can change me.

Most people feel like they're out of step, so just have the conviction to go your own way.

I think everyone should be their own individualized person.

Being your own woman, not cookie cutter - that is the greatest luxury!

I had my own mind made up in that I was going to do my own thing. I wasn't going to copy from this guy or that guy.

I do what I want to do.

I was born alone, I'm gonna die alone. I have my own identity. I'm my own person, and no two people are the same.

Why would I care what other people are thinking? I don't care what an audience thinks of me.
