If there's such a thing as somebody having nine lives, I guess I'm somewhat in that category.

They say cats have nine lives. I've had 12 already and I don't know how many more I'll have.

A cat, I am told, has nine lives. If that is true, I know how a cat feels.

For one who reads, there is no limit to the number of lives that may be lived, for fiction, biography, and history offer an inexhaustible number of lives in many parts of the world, in all periods of time.

I think I'm a survivor. I could have suffered at least 100 professional deaths. I could come up with a list of the 100 times I've come closest to death, from having pneumonia as a child to car crashes.

My mother had had six children in five and a half years, and three of them died in that time.

Two of my grandparents died in a car crash. Sucks, 'cause they would have lived to a hundred.

For a while I was suicidal and I tried to kill myself. I think I should have died about four times.

I've lived three lifetimes in my short time.
