I didn't choose to write a military man as much as Vince Haven chose me.
‐‐ Rachel Gibson
I didn't come east of the Mississippi for the first time in my life until I was 26 years of age, but I knew. I read magazines, I listened to radio, I watched television. I knew there was something out there, and I wanted a part of it.
‐‐ Sam Donaldson
I didn't come from a background of films. I didn't even really ever watch films. The fact is, my parents weren't into that stuff, and neither was I.
‐‐ Emma Watson
I didn't come from a background where I saw a lot of loving couples. All my aunts and uncles were either split up or fighting all the time. The only healthy relationships I saw were on TV.
‐‐ George Lopez
I didn't come from a lot. I had a lot of love and support from my family, but as far as money and that type of thing, I didn't really have any of that. All I did was follow my dreams. If my fans take anything from me, I hope it would be that.
‐‐ Keke Palmer
I didn't come from a traditional Tory background; it was urban and metropolitan.
‐‐ George Osborne
I didn't come from a trailer park. I grew up middle class and my dad had money and my mom made my lunch. I got a car when I was sixteen. I'm proud of that.
‐‐ Kid Rock
I didn't come from any kind of academic background, but I lived in a college town and I knew people who weren't without pretense. There was this idea in the town that if something was European it would be good.
‐‐ Sarah Vowell
I didn't come from any money, but even when I was on 'Big Love' - people think you're on a series and you're making bank.
‐‐ Aaron Paul
I didn't come from the worst of situations, and I didn't come into the best of situations. But I've appreciated the best situations. And I've made the best of the worst situations. I'm lucky to be where I am.
‐‐ Ashton Kutcher
I didn't come here without a visa, like everyone from China and Vietnam and Cuba. I came here by special plane... received by the ambassador, by the president of the United States. I should be the most honored man in your country.
‐‐ Bikram Choudhury
I didn't come into politics to change the Labour Party. I came into politics to change the country.
‐‐ Tony Blair
I didn't come into politics to have to deal with the issue of clandestine entry, illegal working, or an asylum system that allows a free run for right-wing bigots.
‐‐ David Blunkett
I didn't come into the business to get awards or titles.
‐‐ Julie Walters
I didn't come out and roll from job to job - my first year was really tough. I had to work as a teaching assistant for an agency; I ran a pancake stall in Dulwich Market. I taught drama classes and ran my own workshops. I applied for every advert on Gumtree there possibly was.
‐‐ Cush Jumbo
I didn't come out until 5 or 6 o'clock in the evening. Sleep all day, sleep and cook and eat, stay in the house. That sun is hot, anyway. It ain't right out there.
‐‐ David Edwards
I didn't come to Hollywood. Hollywood came to me. A lot of people wish they could say the things I say. Everyone out here is so phony, it's sickening.
‐‐ Mr. T
I didn't come to Hollywood to be subservient to anyone else's vision.
‐‐ Nic Pizzolatto
I didn't come to Hollywood to drink or get high, and I don't want to be considered a cool actor - I want to be a great actor.
‐‐ Tom Sizemore
I didn't come to New York to be a star, I brought my star with me.
‐‐ Reggie Jackson
I didn't come to Washington to be part of the problem.
‐‐ Pete Gallego
I didn't come to Washington to fight against my Republican colleagues, or even against my colleagues on the other side of the aisle. I came to Washington to fight for the values that make our country unique - for the economic freedom that gives life to the American Dream.
‐‐ David Schweikert
I didn't consciously make the decision to write an adult novel. I didn't think of it as my riposte to the YA genre.
‐‐ Mal Peet
I didn't consider myself a fashion designer at all at the time of punk. I was just using fashion as a way to express my resistance and to be rebellious. I came from the country, and by the time I got to London, I considered myself to be very stupid. It was my ambition to understand the world I live in.
‐‐ Vivienne Westwood
I didn't consider myself to be pretty, not at all.
‐‐ John Hurt
I didn't cost the Series. I cost a game in the regular season.
‐‐ Keith Hernandez
I didn't cry much after I was 35, but staggered stony-faced into middle age, a handkerchief still in my bag just in case.
‐‐ Hilary Mantel
I didn't cry when I left free-booting, smash-and-grab papers that would have appeared to be far more natural homes for me and, at the risk of being vulgar, paid far better for my services.
‐‐ Julie Burchill
I didn't date for my entire teen life - it just wasn't on my mind.
‐‐ Kiesza
I didn't date my wife in high school, but she was definitely by far the coolest woman there. She was definitely the most beautiful, but she also marched to the beat of her own drummer. I was in New Orleans 10 years after high school and my friend played matchmaker with us, and that's kind of how we got together.
‐‐ Eric Mabius
I didn't decide I was crazy until 1952. That's when I began making a steady salary and could afford to be crazy.
‐‐ Allan Sherman
I didn't decide to be a photographer; I just happened to fall into it.
‐‐ Berenice Abbott
I didn't decide to become a musician until the age of 15, which is quite late.
‐‐ Evelyn Glennie
I didn't 'decide' to write YA, per se. But every time I thought of a story, it featured characters 15, 16, 17.
‐‐ Sara Zarr
I didn't develop or build synths. I had my technicians modify them for my live stage performances.
‐‐ Gary Wright
I didn't devote my life to acting. I give a lot to my work, but my life has always been more important.
‐‐ Catherine Deneuve
I didn't dictate sections of 'Visions of Cody'. I typed up a segment of taped conversation with Neal Cassady, or Cody, talking about his early adventures in L.A. It's four chapters.
‐‐ Jack Kerouac
I didn't die young. So I am very lucky. There are other artists and people that didn't survive certain things... people can imagine that I did the most dangerous, and I did the worst... for many reasons, I shouldn't be here.
‐‐ Angelina Jolie
I didn't dig it out, it was given to me. They thought it was significant, they gave me the name and I used it.
‐‐ Robert Novak
I didn't direct any of the 'Saw' sequels, but people thought I did.
‐‐ James Wan
I didn't disappear; I started writing songs and worked behind the scenes.
‐‐ Lesley Gore
I didn't discover curves; I only uncovered them.
‐‐ Mae West
I didn't do a masters in creative writing until I was 26, which is quite old, and then I found myself in New York and I needed money, so I started working full time as an editor.
‐‐ Rachel Kushner
I didn't do a movie until I was almost 30. I'm grateful for that because it gave me a chance to be an adult in the world and do work in the regional theater that very few people cared about. I loved it and I wanted to do that stuff.
‐‐ Annette Bening
I didn't do any writing seriously until I was in my mid-twenties. But I've never really thought of myself as doing anything else. I've always wanted to write.
‐‐ Ruth Rendell
I didn't do anything at the Queen, whom I admire.
‐‐ Vivienne Westwood
I didn't do anything differently than what my father was doing. It's a really hard family to rebel in. I could have become an accountant. Or I could have become a Republican.
‐‐ Justin Townes Earle
I didn't do anything for two years but work on 'Gone Baby Gone,' and it was miserable and hard, but at the end? It is a good movie. I liked it very much. If it had been dismissed and deemed worthless, it would been definitely devastating. But that didn't happen.
‐‐ Ben Affleck
I didn't do anything spectacular when I won the Open in 2001. I hit the ball good, not great. I putted good, not great, but I think I missed maybe two putts inside eight feet all week.
‐‐ David Duval
