I had also done a little disc jockeying.
‐‐ Casey Kasem
I had always attended classes and written stories as a creative outlet because I need that, and I thought, in my previous career in a model, the way I approached that was that I believed I was telling a non-verbal story.
‐‐ Jessica Clark
I had always been a fan of Nas, but I never met him. This is the one guy in the industry who's, like, the phantom rapper.
‐‐ Kelis
I had always been a fatalist about my career. What was to be was to be.
‐‐ Randolph Scott
I had always been a free spirit and always gotten what I wanted.
‐‐ Rick James
I had always been a really peculiar child. My mom would tell you I grew up roughing it with the boys and playing with action figures and toy cars and stuff, but I also had an Easy Bake Oven... I find it amazing that in a really weird way, people are mad that they can't figure out my gender.
‐‐ Shamir
I had always been a tomboy - I still am, at heart.
‐‐ Maureen O'Hara
I had always been fascinated by comics, but it had taken me several weeks to make up my mind to buy 'Watchmen'; for someone on a publisher's assistant's salary, it was some quite unheard-of sum of money.
‐‐ Susanna Clarke
I had always been fascinated by the whole idea that Australia was this different ecology and that when rabbits and prickly pears and other things from Europe were introduced into Australia, they ran amok.
‐‐ David Gerrold
I had always been fascinated with Napoleon because he was a self-made emperor; Victor Hugo said, 'Napoleon's will to power,' and it was the title of my paper. And I submitted it to my teacher, and he didn't think I had written it. And he wanted me to explain it to him.
‐‐ August Wilson
I had always been heavily influenced by stand-up. I was in a comedy team called Red Johnny And The Round Guy.
‐‐ John DiMaggio
I had always been interested in markets - specifically, the theory that in financial markets, goods will trade at a fair value only when everyone has access to the same information.
‐‐ Pierre Omidyar
I had always been interested in politics. I had assumed, for a variety of - well, for two reasons, being Jewish and being gay back in the late '50s, early '60s - that I would never be elected or anything, but I would participate as an activist.
‐‐ Barney Frank
I had always been interested in race and racial justice, but mostly it was with my nose pressed up against the glass, looking at the South from a long way away.
‐‐ Tom Brokaw
I had always been interested in screenwriting, ever since I could write things down as a child. Obviously, I started as an actor, professionally, but screenwriting was always something that I had a great interest in.
‐‐ John Francis Daley
I had always been interested in the space program, and I didn't know if I could be an astronaut like I'd dreamt about when I was a little kid - to me it sounded kind of silly, someone grow up to be an astronaut - but, when I was in my 20s, I thought maybe I can get a job with NASA or a contractor, do something with the space program.
‐‐ Michael J. Massimino
I had always been intrigued by the emotional aspect of adventure gaming-the fact that people get so personally involved.
‐‐ Roberta Williams
I had always been kind of obsessed with making a home of my own and was always drawing rooms that I wanted to live in, down to pictures on the wall and the faces that would be in the photographs, and how the couches would be situated.
‐‐ Michelle Williams
I had always been literary, in the sense of loving poetry and discovering novels, but I found my voice, as they say, in an office full of elderly people who looked after blind ex-servicemen.
‐‐ Andrew O'Hagan
I had always been proud of my body - its strength and grace enabled me to pursue my passions.
‐‐ Misty Copeland
I had always been the theater nerd at Northwestern University. I knew I wanted to do acting, but I hated the idea of being this cliche - a girl from L.A. who decides to be an actress. I wanted more than that, and I had always loved politics, so I ended up changing my major completely, and double-majoring in theater and international relations.
‐‐ Meghan Markle
I had always been told by my parents, not implicitly told, but every inference was that Britain was the hub of the universe.
‐‐ Rolf Harris
I had always been told cooking was a servant's job.
‐‐ Michael Mina
I had always been told that you shouldn't clean the litter box when you're pregnant, because of your cat. And I think that is overblown - unless you have, like, three kittens in your house that are living outside and eating raw meat, this shouldn't really be a significant source of concern.
‐‐ Emily Oster
I had always broken the rules.
‐‐ Lauren Hutton
I had always choreographed a little, beginning in high school. And I leaned toward choreography. I always had an overview of what was going on.
‐‐ Patricia Birch
I had always done theater during the entire six years I was with 'CSI: Miami.'
‐‐ Khandi Alexander
I had always done theater in extracurricular ways. I'd never been a drama major.
‐‐ Sigourney Weaver
I had always done these 3D things that you could walk through. They were always done off the seat of my pants without blueprints or course.
‐‐ Red Grooms
I had always dreamed of being an Olympian, and something clicked inside of me. I knew I had to move to Salt Lake City and make this dream a reality.
‐‐ Brittany Bowe
I had always dreamed of living in Chapel Hill. When I was a college student at Hollins University in Virginia, I came down to Chapel Hill for summer school and just loved it.
‐‐ Lee Smith
I had always dreamed of winning Wimbledon and when it happened it was very stressful. It was more of a relief!
‐‐ Pat Cash
I had always fancied a go at the comedy and when it started to go reasonably well and the opportunity arose for me to move into it full time, I just couldn't turn it down. I just took the risk, and I just wanted to see if it would work and thankfully it did.
‐‐ Jo Brand
I had always fantasized about going to the Pyramids, the Great Wall; I've always been sort of obsessed with the whole notion of Everest.
‐‐ Justin Zackham
I had always felt deep down that I owned the characters. Much as I adored and cherished the work of my actors, I felt that they were cast to do and be what I could not physically do or be.
‐‐ Allison Anders
I had always had a deep interest in social science, history. So even when I was in high school, I was debating, and in college debating, and interested in contemporary events.
‐‐ James Heckman
I had always intended to make a living out of playing blues. But I never admitted it to myself. I don't suppose I could have given a logical reason for it ever becoming possible to do so.
‐‐ Alexis Korner
I had always known that I couldn't play Dr. King purely out of my own ability as an actor. When you look at him give those speeches, you can tell that he is taken up by something other than himself. He is flowing with an anointing that is directly from God.
‐‐ David Oyelowo
I had always known that I was Jewish - we celebrated the holidays, we went to a synagogue - but I had never known that I was supposed to feel ashamed about it.
‐‐ Caroline Leavitt
I had always liked, well, who didn't love Lestat and fall in love with 'Interview with the Vampire,' and 'Nosferatu,' and Coppola's 'Dracula' with the awesome costumes? So I loved all that.
‐‐ Catherine Hardwicke
I had always looked down on sociology as this arriviste discipline. It didn't have the noble history of English and history as a subject. But once I had a little exposure to it, I said, 'Hey, here's the key. Here's the key to understanding life and all its forms.'
‐‐ Tom Wolfe
I had always loved cartoons, especially 'Bugs Bunny,' and I found I enjoyed making animated films. Even a 30-second commercial involved drawing and painting, storytelling, not to mention actors, music, and sound effects.
‐‐ Mordicai Gerstein
I had always loved comedy, and acted out Steve Martin and Bill Cosby albums with my sister for my parents on road trips and stuff, and I loved to laugh and make people laugh.
‐‐ Rob Delaney
I had always loved expressionist painting, like every European. In fact I admired it all the more because these were precisely the paintings despised by my father's generation.
‐‐ Georg Baselitz
I had always loved John Ford's pictures. And I came to love him, too, but I was frightened to death working for him. He used the shock treatment while directing me.
‐‐ Ethel Waters
I had always loved music. I grew up listening to classic country, Waylon Jennings, Merle Haggard. My dad loved Vern Gosdin and Keith Whitley. So I kept going to class and started getting totally into playing guitar and teaching myself these songs.
‐‐ Jake Owen
I had always loved to write and my mom was my editor for my school papers.
‐‐ Jenna Bush
I had always owned them to be the Word of God... the careful reading of the Acts afforded me a practical picture of the early church; which made me feel deeply the contrast with its actual present state; though still, as ever beloved by God.
‐‐ John Nelson Darby
I had always planned to make a large painting of the early spring, when the first leaves are at the bottom of the trees, and they seem to float in space in a wonderful way. But the arrival of spring can't be done in one picture.
‐‐ David Hockney
