I did grow up next door to Steve McQueen, who was a very famous movie star at the time, but as a kid it didn't impress me. We always had great fun with him. He would take us out on Sundays on his motorcycles, riding around in the desert; he was like a second father.
‐‐ Herb Ritts
I did grow up poor. My mom managed to get a job as a custodian at our church, and it was really just a favor for her, and my dad's an electrician - just a blue-collar family, and the house was usually falling apart.
‐‐ Crystal Bowersox
I did grow up reading the 'Twilight' books. I feel guilty, but I was always Team Edward.
‐‐ Halston Sage
I did grow up with a really big interest in math and science; I liked it.
‐‐ Linda M. Godwin
I did gymnastics when I was a kid. I wasn't very good at it.
‐‐ Lindsey Vonn
I did gymnastics when I was growing up and to this day I can still do the splits.
‐‐ Kristin Kreuk
I did have a 1977 Barbie, but I was more into stuffed animals than dolls.
‐‐ Dylan Lauren
I did have a big following in the upper New York area. I was at the New York State Fair a few times over the years. I have areas that I say are my areas.
‐‐ Bobby Vinton
I did have a child, and I was reading a lot of picture books to her, but at the same time writing a children's book was something that I'd been wanting to do for many years, pretty much since the start of my career.
‐‐ Al Yankovic
I did have a constituent four or five years ago - she never liked me. So, she called, I returned her call, and she was complaining about something, and she said: 'And why do you always use green? I think it's narcissistic.' And I said, 'Well, ma'am, everyone has to have a gimmick, and that's my gimmick.'
‐‐ Gene Green
I did have a dog for a few years when I was little, but then just really had cats until I was about 21.
‐‐ Eric Roberts
I did have a falsetto, but I only used it when I was joking around with friends or to annoy my girlfriends, or in the shower, because no one else was around. Or in college. I'd go to karaoke bars and sing Tina Turner songs in the original key.
‐‐ John Lloyd Young
I did have a feeling then that the culture of factuality was so dominating that storytelling had lost all its authority.
‐‐ E. L. Doctorow
I did have a go with Botox, but I couldn't move my eyebrows. I also, at one point, had that filler stuff injected, but I looked like a hamster with wodges of food in its cheeks, so I stopped that.
‐‐ Deborah Moggach
I did have a knack for playing weirdos. There's still sort of this perception of me out there as being this crazy guy.
‐‐ Gary Oldman
I did have a life before the Animals, and I'm trying constantly to prove that I have a life after the Animals. People tend to forget that I was the frontman with War for two years. People sort of have compartmental memories.
‐‐ Eric Burdon
I did have a literal shed of fan mail once. It was literally filled with, like, 25 of those giant mail cartons.
‐‐ Andrew Keegan
I did have a lucky thing going on there in my throat.
‐‐ Art Garfunkel
I did have a nice career in print, but traditional publishers don't always have the resources to create individualized marketing for their authors. Mine never figured out how to package books as hot as mine so that they found their full audience. Finally, I got frustrated enough over my lack of traction to walk away.
‐‐ Emma Holly
I did have a problem concentrating on anything for more than 10 seconds. I was one of the first kids in the U.K. to go on Ritalin, and my mum hated it, and I hated it.
‐‐ Alfie Allen
I did have a Twitter account that I tried for a couple days, but found I had nothing to say. There are some interesting facts I could share, but I don't want to share that part of myself.
‐‐ Jim Parsons
I did have a very advanced grandmother, my mother's mother, who wanted to buy me a camera. My parents wouldn't let her. Eventually she won, and I got a camera in about 1948, a Voigtlander.
‐‐ Peter Beard
I did have a very restricted, regimented life. There was a kind of happiness there, a contentment, but it was a small happiness within very clear and delineated borders.
‐‐ Daniel Tammet
I did have fun, for example, in The Black Hole which was very popular among youngsters.
‐‐ Maximilian Schell
I did have imprinted on me the idea of trauma that changes things dramatically and suddenly. As a writer, I return to that again and again because it fascinates me, and it's where I come from, in a sense.
‐‐ Ann Packer
I did have one bad accident up north near Deerhurst. I was driving back in the winter on these snowy roads, and these two snowmobilers were racing up a hill and they weren't looking, so they caught me as I was going up the other side of the hill, and they smashed into me.
‐‐ Dan Hill
I did have quite a different upbringing to a lot of my peers. We all have a sort of code that we get, especially as Beatles kids. It's an unspoken sort of word of understanding. But I'm comfortable around a lot of different types of people.
‐‐ Stella McCartney
I did have reconstructive plastic surgery and a tummy tuck. And from hip to hip, there's a very big scar. It looks better than it did... So I say, if you don't like that skin, have it removed. This is my advice: if you're gonna do it - just go for it.
‐‐ Carnie Wilson
I did have someone tell me that I looked like Conan O'Brien. I was like, 'What?'
‐‐ Joel Edgerton
I did have two dads; one was a socialist, and one was a capitalist. I really decided I would rather be a capitalist.
‐‐ Robert Kiyosaki
I did have wonderful things to draw from, from my own experience and also just from friends and people I'd gone to school with who were very much immersed in this world right now.
‐‐ Lily Rabe
I did help to set up an undergraduate course in medicinal chemistry and made progress in modelling and analysing pharmacological activity at the tissue level, my new passion.
‐‐ James W. Black
I did hidden-camera shows. I've been around the block a few times.
‐‐ Mike Scully
I did Hilary Duff's 'With Love' music video-slash-fragrance ad.
‐‐ Kellan Lutz
I did honest television. Real, live, honest television. That's what I did best.
‐‐ Greg Garrison
I did host the Jim Rome show with Jerry Ferrara for three hours when he was on vacation. Three hours is a long time. Think about how long that is. It was tricky, but it was a great experience.
‐‐ Kevin Connolly
I did, I'd say, at least about 80 percent of the rest of the driving, and I had the time of my life.
‐‐ David Hasselhoff
I did. I did see Bigfoot when I was a kid and I still believe it to this day. I saw a big furry man outside my window. It's not funny! It was real.
‐‐ Barry Watson
I did I Love My Wife on Broadway in 1978, and then went into television land. Now things are starting to come together in the way I thought they might when I was a kid.
‐‐ Tom Wopat
I did imitations of anyone who came to my parents' house, and that was my identity at school - if there were ten minutes to lunch, and the teacher was done with the lesson, he'd say, 'Okay, Leo, get up there and do something.'
‐‐ Leonardo DiCaprio
I did important films when I was very young.
‐‐ Catherine Deneuve
I did improv for about 10 years professionally, and before that, I had done it in high school as part of an improv team. It was definitely a big part of my upbringing.
‐‐ Tatiana Maslany
I did Internet dating for a while, and that is rife with horrible dating stories.
‐‐ Allison Tolman
I did it at night because I loved it. I never did it to make money, as a job. I just did it because I had to.
‐‐ Danielle Steel
I did it for a living, made a career out of it, but now I've turned it into somewhat of a hobby.
‐‐ Dick Trickle
I did it my way, and I have no regrets when I look back on my career that it was just a big focus for me.
‐‐ Pete Sampras
I did it the stupid way, through trial and error.
‐‐ Jake Roberts
I did it to myself. It wasn't society... it wasn't a pusher, it wasn't being blind or being black or being poor. It was all my doing.
‐‐ Ray Charles
I did Jay Leno with Mike the Situation, and he just - he lives, like, ten minutes from me in Jersey. He's like, 'If you ever get a flat, call me. I'll come fix your tire.' That's how we do. That's neighborly, you know?
‐‐ Queen Latifah
