I did what any American could and should do: serve his country in its time of need.
‐‐ Bob Feller
I did what I could to inflate the rumor I was on my way to stardom. What I was on my way to, by any mathematical standards known to man, was oblivion, by way of obscurity.
‐‐ Tallulah Bankhead
I did what I felt, and I felt what I did, at all costs.
‐‐ Little Richard
I did what I felt that I wanted to do. Fairly selfishly. I didn't know my kids as well as I should have.
‐‐ Mike Wallace
I did what most writers do when something happens that's overwhelming, fascinating, moving, all of that. I didn't know what else to do about it except write about it.
‐‐ Patti Davis
I did what my conscience told me to do, and you can't fail if you do that.
‐‐ Anita Hill
I did what we call dry for wet effects, some of the miniatures work and two animation sequences.
‐‐ John Hench
I did work a lot in Scots theatre, but I was never really successful in Scottish film or TV until I went down to London - and I had to go to the U.S. to get my big break.
‐‐ Henry Ian Cusick
I did work at a mall in college - I think retail/customer service is just one of the most hideous jobs in the world. So I always try to be extra nice when I go into a store. But malls are part of our culture, if you watched any teen comedy in the '80s. it's clear that malls are where we live!
‐‐ Jayma Mays
I did work at Christie's for a couple of weeks, getting ready for 'The Devil Wears Prada,' getting people coffee and doing whatever they needed around the office. It was amazing. I got to see some wonderful art, and everybody was really nice. It was great.
‐‐ Anne Hathaway
I did work at Planned Parenthood between college and grad school. For me, anywhere that I worked or anywhere that I've come to know intimately is a great place to set a story because it's a place where you know all the details already, and you don't have to make them up; you can just borrow them.
‐‐ Lauren Holmes
I did work hard at auditions, and three years at RADA isn't like a walk in the park. And then it takes a lot of sacrifices, giving certain things up in order to audition, in order to do a play, whatever it may be.
‐‐ Andrew Buchan
I did work in a strip club, but I didn't strip. I danced, and I became very popular.
‐‐ Maya Angelou
I did write a couple of original screenplays, but I'd rather write plays.
‐‐ Beth Henley
I did years of summer stock. I sort of only wanted to be an actor. And then at 19, I was funny, and I had some of these bits that I did for friends, and I immediately could get on television.
‐‐ Albert Brooks
I didn't abandon everything at a moment's notice - on the contrary. I returned to France from America, leaving the 'Large Glass' unfinished.
‐‐ Marcel Duchamp
I didn't act in college, per se, because I didn't want an acting degree. I don't know what you do with that degree. When I was 16, I saw 'Usual Suspects,' and I wanted to be a director as well. So I thought I should go to school for directing and producing, something I knew nothing about.
‐‐ Mehcad Brooks
I didn't act in Israel, but I wrote plays at home and acted in plays at school. I tried to get an agent when I was 12, but they told me that I had too much of an accent.
‐‐ Odeya Rush
I didn't act in school. I didn't study acting, either. I learned everything when I got to New York.
‐‐ Manish Dayal
I didn't act like I was there. I just got into the story.
‐‐ Jimmy Fallon
I didn't act professionally before going to drama school. I don't know if I had the confidence. I didn't think I'd get in when I first auditioned for drama school, and then I did.
‐‐ Francois Arnaud
I didn't actually begin photographing, or even visit New York, for the first time until I was 26.
‐‐ Brandon Stanton
I didn't actually begin professionally acting until I was 30.
‐‐ Katey Sagal
I didn't actually get along with my dad when I was growing up, so by the time I was in my 20s, I didn't think I was going to be a writer.
‐‐ Brian Herbert
I didn't actually grow up in London.
‐‐ Ben Hardy
I didn't actually have a prom. In Australia, we call them 'socials,' which is hilarious. I did always find them pretty awkward, because I went to an all-girls school.
‐‐ Robin McLeavy
I didn't actually know what a vegetarian was until I was 13 years old. I know in this day and age it's hard to believe that, but I think because I grew up on a farm, I wasn't indulged in magazines, newspapers, Internet, television. And so, for some reason, I was never exposed to what a vegetarian was.
‐‐ Abbie Cornish
I didn't actually realise what apartheid meant. I'm probably a bit naive, but I thought it was more of a vague segregation, like on the beaches and buses.
‐‐ John Deacon
I didn't agree with what Joe McCarthy was trying to do, but I sure did admire his methods.
‐‐ M. Stanton Evans
I didn't allow failure to break my heart. So I wouldn't allow success to bloat my head.
‐‐ Randeep Hooda
I didn't always have 14,000 people wanting to hang out with me on a Saturday night.
‐‐ Taylor Swift
I didn't always know, but I always wanted to. I always wanted to be the very best receiver the Cowboys ever had. That was my goal coming in as a rookie and my goal throughout my career: being the best they ever had, going up in the Ring of Honor.
‐‐ Michael Irvin
I didn't always spell my name Bil. My parents named me Bill, but when I started drawing cartoons on the wall, they knocked the 'L' out of me.
‐‐ Bil Keane
I didn't always take myself that seriously. Image-wise, I was somewhat of a jokester.
‐‐ Anderson Paak
I didn't always want to act. My passion was writing, and it still is one of my primary passions to this day, but it wasn't until high school when I started acting in plays that it became a thought of something I might want to do. And when I applied to colleges, at NYU, I was able to study both writing and acting.
‐‐ Bryce Dallas Howard
I didn't always want to be a dad.
‐‐ Liam Gallagher
I didn't and don't go to Internet for any business purposes. The book sales for me by this point are way beyond any influence I might have, positively, or others might have, negatively.
‐‐ R. A. Salvatore
I didn't apply to any colleges - I lied to all my friends and told them I was going to UCSD, because all their parents would be like, 'Mark, where're you going to college?' and I'd just lie 'cause I felt it was unrealistic to be an actor.
‐‐ Mark Ruffalo
I didn't appreciate Brooklyn until I left it.
‐‐ Rosie Perez
I didn't appreciate, coming out of corporate America... what it meant to a founder, the creator of the Macintosh, to be asked to step down from the very division that he created to lead the very product that he believed was going to change the world.
‐‐ John Sculley
I didn't appreciate Mick Jagger until I got older, and mainly because of the Mick Jagger swagger. He defined that for the world. He was bold and adventurous with it, too - just the ultimate rock star.
‐‐ Mayer Hawthorne
I didn't appreciate the young woman that I was, or my young beauty, because I was so obsessed with the fact that I felt fat. It's never good to add to anybody else's suffering. It's an important topic to really get the gravity and the importance of - dealing with dignity.
‐‐ Margaret Cho
I didn't ask anyone to make me a poster boy, because poster boys always end up on dart boards.
‐‐ Anurag Kashyap
I didn't ask to be a hero, but I guess I have become one in the Christian community. So I accept it. But if I'm wrong about this, I guess I'll become a bum.
‐‐ Hal Lindsey
I didn't ask to be short. I didn't want to be short. I've tried to pretend that being a short guy didn't matter.
‐‐ Mickey Rooney
I didn't aspire to be a good sport; 'champion' was good enough for me.
‐‐ Fred Perry
I didn't attend any of the court proceedings.
‐‐ Norma McCorvey
I didn't attend the funeral, but I sent a nice letter saying I approved of it.
‐‐ Mark Twain
I didn't audition for 'Fargo.' It was a straight offer.
‐‐ Martin Freeman
