‐‐ Sinqua Walls

‐‐ David Suzuki
I fell in love with the most beautiful girl in the Bronx.
‐‐ Danny Aiello
I fell in love with the ocean when I was just a little kid, four or five years old, I was a junior ranger, I was going out and doing intertidal stuff, walking around and sticking my finger in my first sea anemone and picking up starfish and all that. It gripped me when I was young.

I fell in love with the piano. I knew it was me. I was dying to play.
‐‐ Alicia Keys
I fell in love with the public, the public fell in love with me, and I tried to keep it that way.

I fell in love with the topic of leadership. For three decades, that has been a major focus of my hands-on work: listening to and working with leaders, their teams and their organizations.
‐‐ Henry Cloud
I fell in love with theater there, and after graduation I moved to Los Angeles to pursue acting.
‐‐ Olivia Wilde
I fell in love with this idea of an old school game character, like Donkey Kong, who looks like a very simple guy but is really wrestling with this very profound struggle: 'What's the meaning of life? What if I don't like this job I've been programmed to do?'
‐‐ Rich Moore
I fell in love with Virginia Woolf in college. I especially admire how well she writes about daily life, how she captures so much meaning and consequence in the smallest details of a day.
‐‐ Karen Thompson Walker
I fell in love with words in all languages, and I read everything I could find, particularly myths and legends and histories and archeology and any novels.
‐‐ Kerry Greenwood
I fell into acting by going to a callback for J.C. Penney with my two older brothers when I was 4 1/2 years old. The casting director saw me and asked to bring me in the room with them. The three of us ended up booking the commercial!
‐‐ Raymond Ochoa
I fell into lyric writing because of music. I backed into it.
‐‐ Stephen Sondheim

I fell into the theatre because I felt I was doing it well, and I stuck to it for the same reason.
‐‐ Martin McDonagh
I fell off a chair onto a broken water glass when I was 3 years old.
‐‐ Buddy Lester
I fell off my pink cloud with a thud.
‐‐ Elizabeth Taylor
I fell off stage and bruised some ribs. The worst part was that the audience didn't realize I was gone.
‐‐ Richard Marx
I fell through a crack for years. Historically, I am a nothing because I fit in no category. I can only be me.

I fell through the holes in the educational system. But education is still a way to change a life.
‐‐ Mark Bradford
I felt a bit bookish, cut off from life.
‐‐ Ray Bradbury
I felt a failure because I couldn't sustain myself from what I earned from my writing. My day jobs were what mattered, and it was hard to even get those because universities wouldn't hire me as a real writer.
‐‐ Sandra Cisneros
I felt (a) it was a great role and (b) I wanted to stay in town. I wanted to stop going to these four month and five month gigs up in Toronto or Montreal or Vancouver or down in Mexico. I wanted to be around my son, Max. This came along and I was like, 'I really want to play this guy!'
‐‐ John C. McGinley
I felt a little green, because Shakespeare writes the thought process within the text; it was tricky not to think of what to say and then say it, and instead just deliver the lines.
‐‐ Neil Patrick Harris
I felt a real strong connection and still do with Hanukkah. So it started out by doing concerts on Hanukkah, the Festival of Lights tour, and then, yeah, let's make some Hanukkah songs. Let me make a Hanukkah song that kids can listen to, party to and get the spirituality of it, because it is not just about dreidels and having fun.
‐‐ Matisyahu
I felt a responsibility to present a viable alternative to the popular electric sound.

‐‐ F. W. de Klerk
I felt a tremendous sadness for men who can't deal with a woman of their own age.
‐‐ Michael Caine
I felt alien my whole life, but I didn't feel alien because of my gender. Other people made me aware of my gender.
‐‐ Patti Smith
I felt alienated at school, and I never did well with girls.
‐‐ Burt Bacharach
I felt alienated by the experience and decided to stay away from corporate employment.
‐‐ Lee Child
I felt alive when I read a script and acted out a scene, or sang a song. It was my dream. I'm just very lucky that I'm still doing it and able to earn a living from it.
‐‐ Luke Evans
I felt all the things that other teenagers felt. I was insecure in lots of ways, over-confident in others. I was very emotional. Excitable.
‐‐ Molly Ringwald
I felt alone out there, like I was on a desert island. I felt like Gilligan.
‐‐ Mickey Rivers
I felt along with her - not the physical pain, of course, but all her mental anguish. You can't be detached. She needed to have someone who understood what was happening in her mind.
‐‐ Charles Bronson
I felt ashamed about everything. Me dropping out of high school, me not, you know, just not being beautiful enough. I just didn't feel like I was smart enough or beautiful enough, you know, for years.
‐‐ Mary J. Blige
I felt audiences are happier to take comedy people who play darker people because there's a link between the psychosis of comedy and the psychosis of being a twisted character.
‐‐ Eddie Izzard
I felt bad to have to get divorced. I wasn't proud of that.
‐‐ Tasha Smith
I felt bad when George Bush was booed. But only briefly. My sympathy for that man has a half-life of about four seconds.
‐‐ Dick Cavett
I felt betrayed by him, extremely betrayed. He made me believe that if I followed a certain protocol of supplements and different drugs that I could become number 1 in the world.
‐‐ Kelli White
I felt better being in the background. That's the way I like it.
‐‐ Stefan Edberg
I felt black. I was as far as I was concerned. And I wanted to be black for lots of reasons. They were better musicians, they were better athletes, they were not uptight about sex, and they knew how to enjoy life better than most people.
‐‐ Jerry Leiber
I felt Brighton was a perfect ending to a really interesting career.
‐‐ Harold Budd
I felt caged by my childhood.
‐‐ Christina Aguilera
I felt cheated by the way grown-ups told me that the future of the world was bleak when I became a teenager in the 1970s. The pollution explosion was unstoppable. Global famine was inevitable. I genuinely want the next generation, my own kids, to know that actually it's possible that the future might be better than the past.
‐‐ Matt Ridley
I felt Clinton represented the worst of the 1960s.
‐‐ Christopher Hitchens
I felt completely at home in Mexico - speaking Spanish to my cousins, running around Acapulco and stuffing my face with mole and homemade tortillas. Mexico opened my heart.
‐‐ Aimee Garcia
I felt confident at 24, but I am a better driver now.
‐‐ Jenson Button
I felt connected with Madonna from a very young age. I think I share a lot of qualities from her personality. I really respect her.
‐‐ Marina and the Diamonds
I felt deep within me that the highest point a man can attain is not Knowledge or Virtue or Goodness or Victory but something even greater, more heroic and more despairing: Sacred Awe!
‐‐ Nikos Kazantzakis
I felt deeply loved, highly respected by my colleagues and everybody in the world of motorsport.
‐‐ Maria de Villota
I felt devalued and disrespected. The energy behind it felt disingenuous and motivated by corporate profit.
‐‐ Lisa Bonet
I felt different at 29 because 29, to me, is 30. There are times when I still feel like an actual toddler in a grown-up - well, semi-grown-up - body.
‐‐ Anna Kendrick
I felt different from everyone else - like an alien. The looks I received when I was 320 pounds were ones usually reserved for three-eyed monsters, half-man half-woman reptiles, creatures with hideous rolls of skin that sweated profusely and jiggled when they walked. That last one really was me.
‐‐ Stephen Furst
I felt disconnected from the decisions made in Washington and, to be honest, really didn't think my vote mattered because I didn't have a direct line of sight from my vote to a result.
‐‐ Carly Fiorina
I felt early on I wasn't going to be a respectable citizen.
‐‐ Cormac McCarthy
