I got a film fairly quickly and felt like I was on a roll. I would walk into auditions sounding like Crocodile Dundee, thinking, 'This is going to be a novelty for them.' Then I realised that there are a million other Australians here, and I should just shut up.
‐‐ Chris Hemsworth
I got a flue shot and now my chimney works perfectly.
‐‐ Steve Martin
I got a gerontology certificate a million years ago along with my law degree, so I've been interested in older people for many years. Some people grow up with a lot of kids around, but I just grew up with a lot of old people.
‐‐ Elizabeth Strout
I got a good-enough adolescence. I mean, there's a sense wherein you skip a part of childhood, too, when you start working at that age I did; I was out working and out of home at 15, paying my own way in the world.
‐‐ Ben Mendelsohn
I got a good handshake. A lot of executives tell me I have the best handshake in Hollywood.
‐‐ Marlee Matlin
I got a great kick being in the Warner Bros. studios - that was really cool. I kept singing the 'Looney Tunes' theme song all day. I'm sure they haven't heard that one before.
‐‐ Imelda May
I got a guitar when I was about 14, for a Christmas present, and went from there.
‐‐ Robin Trower
I got a guitar when I was six and, instead of learning other people's songs, started to try to write my own, even at that young age.
‐‐ Russell Crowe
I got a gymnastics scholarship to college, fell in love with my true love of my whole life - who I'm married to now - and he was a virgin too. It was very romantic.
‐‐ Victoria Jackson
I got a hat deal with Resistol, where I have my own line of cowboy hats.
‐‐ Jason Aldean
I got a heart tattooed on my foot. It's my first tattoo.
‐‐ Goldie Hawn
I got a hundred bucks says my baby beats Pete's baby. I just think genetics are in my favour.
‐‐ Andre Agassi
I got a job as a human rights and refugees officer, working on youth-based projects. But I realized all the kids I was working with were far more into 'The Daily Show' than the policy briefings.
‐‐ Hannah Simone
I got a job as a series regular on a television show when I was in my 20s. It didn't get picked up. It only went for 13 or 15 episodes, but it was huge. It was just absolutely huge, and it made me put money in the bank, and I didn't have to worry about bills.
‐‐ Christopher Stanley
I got a job as an assistant film editor, which lasted for a few years, but I found writing incredibly difficult, and I thought, 'How am I going to make a film if I can't write?' I didn't really comprehend that someone else would do that bit.
‐‐ Gary Hume
I got a job as soon as I could - 11 or 12. I started babysitting and then I got a part-time job at a pharmacy in England. I just remember loving the feeling of going out and buying my own clothes! I'd go bargain-hunting and get secondhand vintage stuff.
‐‐ Natasha Bedingfield
I got a job as soon as I graduated from school. I always wanted to bartend because I love listening to people and how awful their lives are.
‐‐ Anthony Mackie
I got a job immediately after leaving high school; I was lucky - three dollars a week and all I could eat, working on a vegetable truck.
‐‐ Ernest Borgnine
I got a job when I was 15 because my allowance was about $20 a week which in New York was impossible. So I used to waitress across the street from where I grew up.
‐‐ Lady Gaga
I got a job with a law firm in Portland after a couple of years with Senator Muskie. But by then, my interest in politics had been sparked, through meeting Senator Muskie, through seeing what he did.
‐‐ George J. Mitchell
I got a job working at a publishing company, Balmur Music, which was a company that Anne Murray was a co-owner in, as a tape copy guy. Eventually, I got fired from that job.
‐‐ Blake Shelton
I got a job writing for a financial technology newsletter in Manhattan. I didn't even understand what I was writing about. The newsletter had, like, 2,000 subscribers, and it was $700 a year for a subscription.
‐‐ Darin Strauss
I got a journalism degree. I started doing journalism - I interned at 'Cosmopolitan' magazine in the 1970s, which probably wasn't the best place for me, and I spent six or nine months freelancing. Anyway, I wasn't that good at it.
‐‐ Anne M. Mulcahy
I got a kick out of the stands when they would heckle me. I would take the energy from that.
‐‐ Kurt Russell
I got a little bit lost in the writing process: like, that moment in the 'Fight Song' music video where I'm throwing the crumpled paper on the bed, that was really true life. I was filling journals with different possibilities of lyrics for the first verse. And none of them felt right.
‐‐ Rachel Platten
I got a little house in East L.A. and did the gardening. I was doing some acting here and there, doing my own thing... getting back to reality.
‐‐ Adam Ant
I got a lot from my uncle who is a really good ska guitarist. Very ragged makeshift rhythms and intricate lines.
‐‐ King Krule
I got a lot happening, a whole lot, and it's not always easy being me.
‐‐ Flavor Flav
I got a lot of criticism for going back on 'Survivor' to play 'Survivor: All Stars.'
‐‐ Jenna Morasca
I got a lot of empathy from my mother growing up, and I think it prevented me from ever really just writing people off.
‐‐ Matt McGorry
I got a lot of energy from directing the film 'Ladies In Lavender.' You wonder if you have the stamina because as an actor you can lounge around the trailer during the scenes you're not in, but as a director, you're there from first thing in the morning to last thing at night every day of the week. I found it incredibly energising.
‐‐ Charles Dance
I got a lot of fans who are not even into fashion. So they look at me and wear what I wear because it's cool or looks cool.
‐‐ ASAP Ferg
I got a lot of film companies approaching me to write some songs for their films.
‐‐ Juicy J
I got a lot of flak for having Kirk as the lead because they all claimed it was a much harder sell, but no one else could have done that part for many reasons.
‐‐ Donal Logue
I got a lot of flak originally for writing with photographs, because the great cliche in photography is that one photograph is worth a thousand words, and photographers are usually dodo birds anyway.
‐‐ Duane Michals
I got a lot of incredible experience at 'Friends.' I was there when it was the No. 1 show in the country. And I was a very small part of that.
‐‐ Robert Carlock
I got a lot of influence from my father, honestly. He'd take me in his car. I'd hear Carlos Santana. I'd hear Queen. I'd hear all these Turkish people, like, bands that he grew up listening to. He was in a band as well.
‐‐ Action Bronson
I got a lot of paradoxes in my life. I guess I'm a real confused person, but there are some focused parts to my life now, and I'm slowly trying to put all the pieces back together.
‐‐ Stevie Ray Vaughan
I got a lot of positive people around me.
‐‐ Dave Chappelle
I got a lot of problems, but I'm really good at intuiting what I need to do to be happy with whatever I create. I know when to stop myself, I know when to start, I know when to leave something alone. I guess I just kind of indulge that completely, and so I just take my time.
‐‐ Fiona Apple
I got a lot of support from my parents. That's the one thing I always appreciated. They didn't tell me I was being stupid; they told me I was being funny.
‐‐ Jim Carrey
I got a lot of things that society had promised would make me whole and fulfilled - all the things that the culture tells you from preschool on will quiet the throbbing anxiety inside you - stature, the respect of colleagues, maybe even a kind of low-grade fame.
‐‐ Anne Lamott
I got a lot out of 'Brothers & Sisters' and learnt some incredible things and I think it certainly had come to a natural ending, so it was definitely time to move on.
‐‐ Matthew Rhys
I got a lovely check today from being a writer that I earned by sitting at home. That's rewarding.
‐‐ Harvey Fierstein
I got a man cave. I play my music loud. I bought big speakers because I need to hear music loud.
‐‐ Marlon Wayans
I got a manager, and I thought, since I was going out on auditions, I should do this for a living. Then there was this moment on set when I realized I was having a lot of fun, and I really wanted to do this forever.
‐‐ Kara Hayward
I got a mortgage at 17! I didn't even know you could get a mortgage at 17.
‐‐ Jennifer Ellison
I got a mother who's very strong after taking the whippings that she took from my father.
‐‐ Missy Elliott
I got a New York designer to build my dream store here, which is a little bit of Florence in New York. It's like the Duomo on Madison. I got inspired by Santa Maria Novella and all the Renaissance architecture.
‐‐ Edgardo Osorio
I got a nomination for director, which means the world to me; it's just the most exciting thing for me and my family. You do the good hard work, and the rest of it is something you shouldn't get too caught up in, but when it happens - boy! I respect it.
‐‐ David O. Russell
