I did not break up the Beatles. You can't have it both ways. If you're going to blame me for breaking the Beatles up, you should be thankful that I made them into myth rather than a crumbling group.
‐‐ Yoko Ono
I did not bring Deism into Bavaria.
‐‐ Adam Weishaupt
I did not choose necessarily on the basis of significance. If you have a vote for the most significant athlete, then you have Ali, then you have Babe Ruth, then you have Michael Jordan.
‐‐ Dick Schaap
I did not claim that speciation occurs only in founder populations.
‐‐ Ernst Mayr
I did not come from an academic background. My father was a smart man, but he had a fifth-grade education. He and all his friends were plumbers. They were all born around 1905 in great poverty in New York City and had to go to work when they were 12 or 13 years old.
‐‐ Leonard Susskind
I did not come here to repeat what you already know. I have come to reveal something new. I want to share with you a new revelation from God.
‐‐ Sun Myung Moon
I did not come into contact with any Muslim before I embraced Islam. I read the Qur'an first and realized no person is perfect, Islam is perfect, and if we imitate the conduct of the Holy Prophet... we will be successful.
‐‐ Cat Stevens
I did not come into football to make money. I had already made millions.
‐‐ Alan Sugar
I did not come to Augusta to provide lip service. I came to work for the Maine people. I also came to Augusta to root out crooked politicians and government corruption.
‐‐ Paul LePage
I did not come to NASA to make history.
‐‐ Sally Ride
I did not come to Washington to raise the electricity rates by as much as $40 per month as this plan would do.
‐‐ Greg Walden
I did not compose my work as one might put on a church vestment... rather it sprung from the truly fervent faith of my heart, such as I have felt it since my childhood.
‐‐ Franz Liszt
I did not deal well with the politicians. I tend to tell people that when they are full of crap, that they are full of crap.
‐‐ Robert Crandall
I did not dedicate my life to making Baltimore a safer and more just place because it was easy.
‐‐ Martin O'Malley
I did not destroy the 43 volumes of my diary, which report on all these events and the share I had in them; but of my own accord I handed them voluntarily to the officers of the American Army who arrested me.
‐‐ Hans Frank
I did not develop my ear. I discovered I had an ear, and it was an accident.
‐‐ Clive Davis
I did not direct my life. I didn't design it. I never made decisions. Things always came up and made them for me. That's what life is.
‐‐ B. F. Skinner
I did not discover literature of any kind until I was about eleven, or ten.
‐‐ Ben Peek
I did not do anything wrong as a governor, even if you accept the verdict as it is, it doesn't indicate that.
‐‐ Edwin Edwards
I did not dwell on the issue of Europe during either the 2001 or the 2005 campaigns - despite it being a pivotal personal concern and despite seeing it as something of a litmus test for liberal democracy.
‐‐ Charles Kennedy
I did not end up as broadly educated as my Cambridge colleagues, but I graduated probably better equipped to write a book on my chosen subject.
‐‐ Richard Dawkins
I did not enjoy Cambridge. But I shouldn't blame Cambridge alone. I wasn't ready for university or for the wrench of leaving home. It was a big cultural shock.
‐‐ Naomie Harris
I did not establish the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society as a protest organisation.
‐‐ Paul Watson
I did not even go to kindergarten; I just started first grade when I was five and started reading right away. I don't know how it all worked, but I had a lot of adults and older siblings around me. So, I guess I was probably introduced to what one would be introduced to at that time in kindergarten.
‐‐ Joan Ganz Cooney
I did not even look at the scoreboard when my routine was done in 1976.
‐‐ Nadia Comaneci
I did not expect to be allowed to be an actor, to be allowed to eventually direct things.
‐‐ Kenneth Branagh
I did not feel 'evil' when I wrote advertisements for Puerto Rico. They helped attract industry and tourists to a country which had been living on the edge of starvation for 400 years.
‐‐ David Ogilvy
I did not find my studies particularly enthralling.
‐‐ Alex Cox
I did not find that writing a diary with a lead male character differed in any essential way from writing one with a female character. They all had the same challenges in terms of attempting to establish an identity, coping with loneliness, friendships, relationships.
‐‐ Kathryn Lasky
I did not fire Brian Wilson from the Beach Boys. I cannot fire Brian Wilson from the Beach Boys. I am not his employer. I do not have such authority. And even if I did, I would never fire Brian Wilson from the Beach Boys. I love Brian Wilson. We are partners. He's my cousin by birth and my brother in music.
‐‐ Mike Love
I did not fully understand the dread term 'terminal illness' until I saw Heathrow for myself.
‐‐ Dennis Potter
I did not get Botox because you wouldn't see any expression in my face. Hopefully it has paid off.
‐‐ Penelope Ann Miller
I did not give my daughter the kind of childhood anybody would want. The vision of the divided loyalty between a mother and father who don't live together and don't share in decisions is a great depravation for children.
‐‐ Gail Sheehy
I did not go into the film business to be symbolized as someone else's vision of me.
‐‐ Sidney Poitier
I did not go to any creative writing workshop; I did not major in literature. If I can write, anyone can write. All it needs is imagination.
‐‐ Vikas Swarup
I did not go to film school.
‐‐ Richard King
I did not go to military school. I had an option either a military school or a private school. I don't know how to get that out of the information that's out there.
‐‐ Channing Tatum
I did not grow up a cinefile. No one in my family was in the film business or even anything close to it.
‐‐ J. C. Chandor
I did not grow up in a cosmopolitan environment. I grew up in a little town in the middle of nowhere, pre-Internet, pre-college radio.
‐‐ Trent Reznor
I did not grow up with a spatula in my hand. I didn't even cook that much in high school. I was busy being a teenager and doing everything that goes along with that.
‐‐ Christine Teigen
I did not grow up with people, you know, pounding in my head, 'This is what you've got to do, this is what you're going to do.'
‐‐ Lindsay Davenport
I did not have a big view of many designers until I got to high school.
‐‐ Tracy Reese
I did not have a chance to write novels until my youngest child started school fulltime.
‐‐ Anne McCaffrey
I did not have a date to the prom. I went to my junior prom alone, and my senior prom, I was doing my first movie. I went in a limousine with, like, a bunch of people to my junior prom. It was a group date.
‐‐ Zooey Deschanel
I did not have a father. It was my mom who chose to be alone. She felt that she would be better off by herself with me after I was born.
‐‐ Olga Kurylenko
I did not have a normal life. I'd be training when my sister would be at birthday parties and sleepovers. I finished high school by correspondence, basically working two full-time jobs. The last years were very, very tough. But I was willing to do that. It's all about sacrifice.
‐‐ Eugenie Bouchard
I did not have a personal relationship with Jesus until I met my nanny, who helped me through a failing marriage and raising my two boys in a New York City apartment. She showed me by example what it was like to be able to talk to Jesus and bring all my cares and worries to Him. That was in 1990.
‐‐ Kim Alexis
I did not have a reputation to defend.
‐‐ Roman Polanski
I did not have a van, or wear Birkenstocks and tie-dyes.
‐‐ Rachel Zoe
