I found I wasn't asking good enough questions because I assumed I knew something. I would box them into a corner with a badly formed question, and they didn't know how to get out of it. Now, I let them take me through it step by step, and I listen.
‐‐ Alan Alda
I found in investigative journalism it is always best, if you have any language skills, not to admit them.
‐‐ Julian Assange
I found in my experiences that it's not that men are consciously discriminating against promoting women, but I do believe as people we have self-images about what's good.
‐‐ Sonia Sotomayor
I found in my whole career the best thing that can happen to you is that you hear what people want.
‐‐ Delia Smith
I found in one of the tombs an inscription saying, 'If you touch my tomb, you will be eaten by a crocodile and hippopotamus.' It doesn't mean the hippo will eat you, it means the person really wanted his tomb to be protected.
‐‐ Zahi Hawass
I found in the past when I did a bit of punditry, I was very conscious of not saying anything negative about people I played against, because players are elephants and they remember when someone says something - I stored things for years and just waited for my opportunity.
‐‐ Brian O'Driscoll
I found it a little bit stressful, because I wasn't used to working with Doctor Who. I got the impression I'd walked into the end of seven years and it was all a bit tense.
‐‐ Sarah Sutton
I found it all very scary. This fairytale gets built around you - as if you've been walking through the streets and then Sydney Pollack sees you and goes, 'I'll put you in something!'
‐‐ Julia Ormond
I found it amazing people can think that art must be connected to religion. Religion may give art themes, but there would still be art without religion. Bach is not proof that art exists.
‐‐ Michel Onfray
I found it an interesting portrait of a marriage in exploring notions of how one partner supports the other, whilst not jeopardizing the greater good - which is the family.
‐‐ Rachel Griffiths
I found it hard being a full-time mum and take my hat off to anyone who can do it.
‐‐ Laura Fraser
I found it hard to express myself in the world. I was very shy. I'm still very shy. But also, when I was a child, I could get very... I had this violence... I still get angry. But I don't break things; I'm not hysterical.
‐‐ Lea Seydoux
I found it interesting that as people become more technically oriented all over the world, at the same time people are becoming increasingly spiritual. The success of the Da Vinci code - even though it was a great yawn - also showed people's interest in religion.
‐‐ Barbara Walters
I found it liberating of necessity to devise my own style and my own tactics and to look for a voice on the instrument because there weren't really any that impacted strongly on me.
‐‐ Steve Swallow
I found it marvelous that the great supporters of America in Europe are, of course, those countries that American consistency and firmness in the Cold War ended up liberating.
‐‐ John Rhys-Davies
I found it peculiar that those who wanted to take military action could - with 100 per cent certainty - know that the weapons existed and turn out to have zero knowledge of where they were.
‐‐ Hans Blix
I found it possible to observe at least the superficial capillaries of muscles both in the frog and in mammals through a binocular microscope, using strong reflected light as a source of illumination. Resting muscles observed in this way are usually quite pale, and the microscope reveals only a few capillaries at fairly regular intervals.
‐‐ August Krogh
I found it really difficult when teachers talked down to me.
‐‐ Sophie Turner
I found it really hard for a couple of years to do any writing because all I wanted to do was play the fiddle. From the minute I took it up, I just couldn't put it down.
‐‐ Kate Thompson
I found it stimulating to study the sciences. It was a side of understanding the universe that I hadn't been exposed to.
‐‐ Jane Siberry
I found it to be more challenging to be in a huge effects movie, because a lot of the things aren't there. You have to trust the director and react to nothing.
‐‐ Katie Holmes
I found it very difficult to explain to someone why you did a film. It's not like having a conversation.
‐‐ Charlotte Gainsbourg
I found it very easy to transform into creeps and weirdos and losers and goof-balls, and I'm happy to play eccentric kinds of characters, and I have a great affinity for the outsider, but I definitely am about expanding my range as well.
‐‐ Rainn Wilson
I found it very helpful not to do the venture round. Instead, I started with very little money, a few thousand dollars, and I did every job myself. I was the first photographer. I was the first customer service rep. I was the first online marketing person.
‐‐ Jon Oringer
I found it was really impossible for me to write songs when I couldn't sing.
‐‐ Rosanne Cash
I found L.A. much less responsive to the name Juilliard than New York was. In New York, that name actually means something. People will look up from their desks when you walk in. In L.A. it's, 'Oh yeah, that's a music school. What do you play?'
‐‐ Finn Wittrock
I found leaving Manchester United very, very hard.
‐‐ Eric Cantona
I found literary idols in Adrienne Kennedy, Nella Larsen, and Ntozake Shange, writers who'd dared to locate a sanctioned, forbidden space between white vulnerability and black invincibility.
‐‐ Margo Jefferson
I found longer races boring. I found the mile just perfect.
‐‐ Roger Bannister
I found many treasures in the woods over the years: shotgun shells, empty Colt 45 bottles, old railroad spikes, orange and black beetles eating a dead mouse, pebbles that looked just like teeth, old stone walls and cellar holes, a rusted out frying pan, the skull of a cat.
‐‐ Jennifer McMahon
I found many ways around my dyslexia, but I still have trouble transforming words into sounds. I have to memorize and rehearse before reading anything aloud to avoid embarrassing myself by mispronouncing words.
‐‐ Philip Schultz
I found marriage somewhat stifling. I don't know that I am the kind of man who ought to be married.
‐‐ Burt Lancaster
I found maths very easy, but I still enjoyed discovering things. You have to have the necessary information. For example, what's the difference between the mean and the median? Probability fascinated me. You have to think very carefully about things, which is the way my mind works anyway.
‐‐ Daniel Tammet
I found Mick Jagger... very bright. I always liked him very much and still do.
‐‐ Michael Lindsay-Hogg
I found more joy in sorrow than you could find in joy.
‐‐ Sara Teasdale
I found music to be the therapy of choice. I guess it is for a lot of people.
‐‐ David Byrne
I found my first dinosaur bone when I was 6, growing up in Montana. Ever since then I've been interested in dinosaurs.
‐‐ Jack Horner
I found my first novel difficult. I don't want to make it sound like it's any more difficult than driving a cab or going to any other job, but there are so many opportunities for self-doubt, that you just kind of need to soldier on.
‐‐ Anthony Doerr
I found my grandmother dead. It shook me up. I got up to make her breakfast, and I knew it was strange that she wasn't stirring. I went in to wake her, and she was laying in rigor mortis, and I'm done. I called next door, and the kid picked up the phone, and I was so wild, he dropped it.
‐‐ Gil Scott-Heron
I found my love when I was 17-years-old and my love is one hundred percent honest. We've never had any ugly, rocky things to overcome.
‐‐ Bo Derek
I found my niche as a character actor, and I've never felt like a movie star or teen idol and never wanted to.
‐‐ Vincent D'Onofrio
I found my partner, my life partner, and I really am in love with my wife, and we have a lovely time, and we share a long history together and children together, and that's it.
‐‐ Ewan McGregor
I found my place when I moved to London, where I chose to live, making my own tribe who were all from different backgrounds and places. The class thing is very dominant there, but in the cultural cross-fertilization, I felt a sense of belonging.
‐‐ Neneh Cherry
I found my prince - he's a hockey player and we met at an NHL event, the last place I'd ever expect to meet someone, but there he was.
‐‐ Carol Alt
I found my sound early on. Look at U2: they haven't changed their music for 20 years. Anyway, many people come unstuck when they try to change what they do and what they are known for.
‐‐ Joan Armatrading
I found my voice was a reaction to all that voice stuff.
‐‐ Kathy Acker
I found myself at dusk in the bewitching Roman city of Jerash with H.M. Queen Rania of Jordan one year, and scrambling with hardened paparazzi to get an image of the Princess of Wales in a tiny Nepalese clinic in the foothills of the Himalayas another.
‐‐ Hamish Bowles
I found myself at the beginning of 'Mad Men,' because I wasn't a sample size, spending an exorbitant amount of money on a nice dress that I would never wear again because someone would say - 'Christina Hendricks wore this dress twice.'
‐‐ Christina Hendricks
I found myself compelled - like this weird, shameful compulsion - to draw cute animals.
‐‐ Lynda Barry
