comment
A character is talking. They say a phrase, and before or after it say, "It's like I always say".
However, the character rarely if ever is heard saying this phrase other than in the current conversation. If it really is something they always say, then it's probably their Character Catchphrase.
Compare Appeal to Familial Wisdom ("My mama always said...").

Discworld:
Used and parodied in the novels with Sam Vimes, who is fond of using the phrase. This led to an incident of Captain Carrot trying to guess from a list of the things that he does always say, like "How did Nobby ever become a watchman?". Upon learning what Vimes meant, he resolved to remember from then on that he had always said that.
A later book had the line "One of the things Vimes always said, or at least one of the things Vimes said he always said, and you don't argue with the boss..."
Played with in Unseen Academicals, where Glenda says "Being busy takes your mind off things, that's what I always say", and is then slightly disturbed when Juliet replies "Yes, Glenda, that's what you always say."

Maverick frequently used the phrase, "Like my Pappy always said..." Lampshaded in the movie when Maverick (Mel Gibson) said the phrase in a conversation with his father (James Garner, the original Maverick), who then groused that his son was always misquoting him.

Arthur: Parodied in "Through the Looking Glasses". Arthur gets a modern pair of glasses, which lead him to start speaking more intellectually. He gains a temporary catchphrase of "as I always say", and then a proverb. Buster points out that he has never said any of these things before.

In Back to the Future, Marty claims that Doc always says "If you put your mind to it, you can achieve anything", and it becomes an important adage of the movie's story and for Marty's father, George. Trouble is, Doc is never heard saying it in the film or any of its sequels!

Shimmer and Shine: Shine usually starts phrases with "It's like I always say..." and most of the time it's followed by something her twin sister Shimmer never heard her say before, which Shine explains by saying she's "just made it up".
In some occasions, instead of saying she's "just made it up", Shine explains that the phrases never made sense before.
In "Welcome to Zahramay Falls", it's Shimmer who starts a phrase with "It's like I always say...". Shine never heard Shimmer say the rest of the phrase before but she agrees with Shimmer. Shimmer returns the favor in "Pet Games".
In "Treehouse Retreat", Shimmer doesn't respond to Shine's comment, suggesting that this time it's really something she always says.
In "Whatever Floats Your Boat", Shine's comment is something Shimmer acknowledges that she always says.
