I didn't audition for 'SNL.' I sent in a tape to 'SNL' the year before I started writing there, but I got the job there through doing stand-up on Fallon.
‐‐ Hannibal Buress
I didn't beat her. I just pushed her out of bed.
‐‐ O. J. Simpson
I didn't become a caddie because I wanted to be a caddie. I was a caddie because that was how I could make money and feed myself. It was work. It was a dignified job.
‐‐ Angel Cabrera
I didn't become a comedian to work this hard.
‐‐ Chelsea Handler
I didn't become a footballer to be famous, I became a footballer to be successful. I didn't want to be famous. Now people want to be famous. Why? Why would you want people following you about all day? I couldn't think of anything worse.
‐‐ Ryan Giggs
I didn't become a good writer until I learned how to rewrite. And I don't just mean fixing spelling and adding a comma. I rewrite each of my books five or six times, and each time I change huge portions of the story.
‐‐ Louis Sachar
I didn't become an actor because I thought I'd make lots of money.
‐‐ Richard C. Armitage

‐‐ Justin Chon
I didn't become an actor to have power, but it just happens that I have it and so I have a lot of opportunities.
‐‐ Tom Cruise
I didn't become an actor to make money. And I didn't become an actor to be famous - though people always gasp if you say that, as if it's unfathomable that an actor doesn't want to be a star.
‐‐ Ruth Negga
I didn't become an actor until I was an old man of 28 or 29. I declared to the world that I was an actor. Nobody heard me, but I did declare it.
‐‐ Peter Falk
I didn't become interested in derivatives until 1982, 1983.
‐‐ John Hull
I didn't become leader to transform the Liberal Democrats into an enlarged form of the Electoral Reform Society. It's not the be all and end all for us. There are other very, very key ambitions in politics, not least social mobility and life chances, that I care about as passionately if not more.
‐‐ Nick Clegg
I didn't become world champion to fight Jimmy Kelly.
‐‐ Liam Smith
I didn't begin my life in 1975 with 'Horses.' I recorded 'Horses' in 1975, but was drawing in Paris in 1969.
‐‐ Patti Smith
I didn't believe in a guardian angel when I was young. I was brought up in the Protestant faith, and the one thing you had over your Catholic friends was that you didn't have those awful saints chivvying you around.
‐‐ Jennifer Johnston
I didn't believe in spiritual homelands, and found God as readily in a strip mall as in a mosque.
‐‐ G. Willow Wilson
I didn't believe that I'd ever be lucky enough to be able to make a living as an actor.
‐‐ Sydney Pollack
I didn't believe when I was first told that I have cancer. I thought, 'How can a young person like me get cancer?' I thought it could never happen to me. It took me a while to realise that I was diagnosed with cancer.
‐‐ Yuvraj Singh
I didn't belong to the sort of family where the children's classics were laid on. I went to the public library and read everything I could get my hands on.
‐‐ Pat Barker
I didn't binge when I was pregnant.
‐‐ Bethenny Frankel
I didn't bother with television myself because it consisted largely of windmills, puppets and pottery wheels, interspersed with elderly men smoking pipes while they discussed Harold Macmillan in Old Etonian accents.
‐‐ Christopher Fowler
I didn't break into comics to write fairytales or crime comics.
‐‐ Mark Millar
I didn't bring my headphones, I'd watched the two movies they had played and I was just like, 'Can we please find a donor that wants to give us a private jet? This is not Okay.'
‐‐ Cat Osterman
I didn't build Auntie Anne's alone. That would have been impossible. From the very beginning, we had a team around us that was exceptional. Our company was successful because of the dedicated people who worked for us.
‐‐ Anne F. Beiler
I didn't buy Bentleys. I didn't live large. I invested in me. I invested in a lot of other people.
‐‐ Sinbad
I didn't buy the Porsche for status. I hate that, and it's actually kind of goofy now because in L.A., a Porsche is like a Honda. It was just that I could pay that much money for a car and drive it off the lot.
‐‐ Sophia Amoruso
I didn't call for a ballot at the start of the miners' strike in 1984. I'll regret that until my dying day.
‐‐ Neil Kinnock
I didn't care about being the 'star.' I just wanted to make a living and have a consistent career.
‐‐ Angie Dickinson
I didn't care at all about losing, but I just didn't want Emerson to feel bad, You know, I didn't win, but Felicity won, and when you come to the set next time, you can give her a big congratulations.
‐‐ Teri Hatcher
I didn't care for beat reporting, covering the same thing day after day - short attention span.
‐‐ Charles Portis
I didn't care for most of the books I was being asked to read in school. I started reading like crazy right after high school when I got a job in a mental hospital. I was working my way through college, and I did a lot of night shifts, and there was nothing to do. So I read like crazy, serious stuff, all the classics.
‐‐ James Patterson
I didn't care how much work it would take, and I didn't see the time invested as a waste or like I was missing out on anything. Ballet became my ultimate passion.
‐‐ Misty Copeland
I didn't care too much for ballet, because you had to be more disciplined, and you sort of looked like everyone else. It required a certain kind of conformity that I didn't feel like I wanted to do.
‐‐ Suzanne Farrell
I didn't care what, how much adversity life threw at me. I intended to get to the top.
‐‐ Ted Turner
I didn't care where my works were published.
‐‐ Ben Shahn
I didn't change the world.
‐‐ Marat Safin
I didn't check into rehab. Instead of me heading into a place - I was just drinking too much and I needed to get my life together. I'm still in therapy and stuff like that, but it's good. I'm great. I feel fine.
‐‐ Richie Sambora
I didn't cheer in high school. I was the farthest thing from a cheerleader in high school. We made fun of cheerleaders. Everybody did!
‐‐ Sarah Roemer
I didn't choose a word or anything. I just wrote the song until it stopped.
‐‐ Marty Robbins
I didn't choose BYU, I like to think it chose me.
‐‐ Neil LaBute
I didn't choose literature. Literature chose me. There was no decision on my side.
‐‐ Manuel Puig
I didn't choose Paris. I like to think that the city chose me.
‐‐ Charlotte Le Bon
I didn't choose Russia but Russia chose me. I had been fascinated from an early age by the culture, the language, the literature and the history to the place.
‐‐ Helen Dunmore
I didn't choose 'Silver Spoons'. I think my mom and agent chose it because at that time there was a lack of patience on some of the people that were in charge of my career. I think there was a big offer on the table, and I think they took it.
‐‐ Ricky Schroder
I didn't choose solitude.
‐‐ Klaus Kinski
I didn't choose the fact that I was gay, but I did choose whether to live my life as a gay woman-that was the terrifying thing for me. Especially being a gay actress.
‐‐ Portia de Rossi
I didn't choose to be an actress.
‐‐ Francesca Annis
I didn't choose to like Chik-Fil-A - I was born this way.
‐‐ Jerrod Carmichael
