I have been a selfish being all my life, in practice, though not in principle.

Being selfish to me means that you have to look out for yourself and you don't have to sacrifice.

My life, in some ways, has been a half-measure. I didn't commit myself all the way to my marriage and family, because I would have given up more. And I didn't go all the way with just being completely selfish. I always wonder where my career would be if I was more selfish.

It's good to be selfish. But not so self-centered that you never listen to other people.

I'm not selfish at all.

I am a very selfish person.

I'm not selfish. I am where I am because I have worked very hard and have always done my job.

Selfishness is not living as one wishes to live, it is asking others to live as one wishes to live.
