I never really saw myself as a standup comedian. I always just thought of myself as someone who used the eight minutes or 10 minutes she was allotted and had a blast.
‐‐ Kristen Schaal
I never really saw myself as writing science fiction anyway.
‐‐ Nigel Kneale
I never really saw myself doing a Super Bowl promo.
‐‐ Blake Shelton

‐‐ Jerrod Carmichael
I never really set out to do anything in the charts with music. It came as a total surprise that I did, and it's fun.
‐‐ James Blunt
I never really stop and think about should I put my hat on this way or that, not thinking that little JoJo down the street would be copying that. I'm more conscious about it now and tell the kids that it's not about the shoes or what kind of shoes... it's all about the dance.
‐‐ Savion Glover
I never really studied business in school. I kind of wish I had, but how boring is that?
‐‐ Mick Jagger
I never really sympathised with Peter Parker.
‐‐ Jamie Bell
I never really take shortcuts. I was always one of those people who, instead of cutting across someone's yard on the way home from school, I would go to the end of the block and turn.
‐‐ Amy Sedaris
I never really think about what I have to do to stick to my image. I just follow what I like to do. Sometimes it's glamorous, sometimes it's not.
‐‐ Isabella Rossellini
I never really think about what people are going to think of the movie afterwards. Or what people are going to call me. I just want to make a great project, and my focus is really all on that. And then I really don't read reviews. Like, you know, go on comment boards or anything.
‐‐ Christopher Mintz-Plasse
I never really think of acting and directing as being separate; they are just different expressions of the same thing.
‐‐ Peter Capaldi
I never really think so much about commercial success; I usually just think about records that move me, and 'Baby Got Back' was one that moved me.
‐‐ Rick Rubin
I never really think too much about my voice.
‐‐ Joel Edgerton
I never really thought about becoming a professional musician.
‐‐ John Mayall
I never really thought about being a role model. I started really young, so at 10 years old, I was still very much the person who needed role models. I wasn't really prepared to be one, but it's always something that I've taken very seriously.
‐‐ Jennifer Love Hewitt
I never really thought about being an actress or being anything like that. I was always a bit scared as well because of the thing about models becoming an actress and all that.
‐‐ Gisele Bundchen
I never really thought about modelling. It wasn't something I ever wanted to do. I used to always be so angry about modelling.
‐‐ Cara Delevingne
I never really thought about my music being universal. When I set out to write, it was just a feeling that felt good to me. I never thought about being able to reach everybody.
‐‐ Leon Bridges
I never really thought about myself being in really big movies at all. In fact, I always though I'd do, I don't know, smaller movies is not quite the right word, but more character-oriented, dramatic things. I took myself a little bit seriously.
‐‐ Chris Pine
I never really thought about what characters I play. I always just wanted different characters.
‐‐ Stephanie Leonidas
I never really thought I had much to add to the conversation that was occurring at 'MADtv.' I didn't know what I would do on the show. But I showed up, and I was surprised - it was fun to work on. Everybody there was really nice, and they seemed to be interested in my contributions.
‐‐ Andy Daly
I never really thought I wanted to become a movie star.
‐‐ Anna Faris
I never really thought I was going to be a singer, honestly. I never listened to singers; I always listened to rap music.
‐‐ Fetty Wap
I never really thought in terms of the concept of being a rock star - being around people like that just seemed like normal day-in-the-life stuff to me. Those were just the surroundings I grew up in.
‐‐ Anthony Kiedis
I never really thought of my neighborhood in South Philly as being a neighborhood; it was more a state of mind. For people who aren't familiar with those kinds of places, it's a whole different thing. Like, 42nd Street in New York City is a state of mind.
‐‐ Jim Croce
I never really thought of myself as a musician. I'm not saying Sonic Youth was a conceptual-art project for me, but in a way, it was an extension of Warhol. Instead of making criticism about popular culture, as a lot of artists do, I worked within it to do something.
‐‐ Kim Gordon
I never really thought of myself as a physical comedian. But when I was a kid, I used to, you know, pretend to trip over things to make girls laugh in school and stuff like that. So I kind of learned how to fall without hurting yourself.
‐‐ Matthew Perry
I never really thought of myself as an Asian-American cartoonist, any more than I thought of myself as a cartoonist who wears glasses.
‐‐ Adrian Tomine

I never really thought of myself as depressed so much as paralyzed by hope.
‐‐ Maria Bamford
I never really thought that anyone thought there was just one kind of Republican woman.
‐‐ Nicolle Wallace
I never really thought we'd fitted into the cross-over drawer. But I think the real Sugar Ray fans did like us because we always had variety and because we experimented a lot.
‐‐ Mark McGrath
I never really took a proper art class in college. I just started reading art magazines and going to galleries. I was really drawn to it.
‐‐ Larry Gagosian
I never really trained to be a musician, but I've been playing guitar since I was around, like, 13 years old. For me, the guitar has always been the instrument that I've played. I play a little piano. I taught myself everything by ear. I don't read music at all, which has not really been a hindrance.
‐‐ Steve Kazee
I never really try to watch the movie of the things I've been in.
‐‐ Kelli O'Hara
I never really understood the idea that nonfiction ought to be this dispensary of data that we have at the moment.
‐‐ John D'Agata
I never really understood who the Magi were as a child. What is a Magi? Not a word I would use, but a magpie I could understand.
‐‐ Michael Leunig
I never really wanted kids. I didn't not want them, but motherhood just wasn't something that pulled at me.
‐‐ Edie Falco
I never really wanted to be a model. But when the opportunity came, I grabbed it.
‐‐ Maud Adams
I never really wanted to be a singer, because I was a super-shy kid. Singing made me feel awkward, and I was really insecure.
‐‐ Jacob Whitesides
I never really wanted to be a writer. I know it sounds strange, but I honestly believe that I didn't pick the story; the story has picked me. I've written absolutely no fiction before 'The Immortals of Meluha.' Not even a short story in school - absolutely nothing.
‐‐ Amish Tripathi
I never really wanted to be an actor. And that was the beginning of it, I began to write things down and eventually became a writer on a television show.

‐‐ Helena Bonham Carter
I never really wanted to write and wanted to focus on acting.
‐‐ Abby Elliott
I never really was much of a practical jokester or anything.
‐‐ Kristanna Loken
I never really was that passionate about playing sports. But when I was at this Mt. Herman school, I did have the ability to throw the frisbee. So when this sport evolved, it was fun because I was good at it.
‐‐ Joel Silver
I never really went to any concerts that I wasn't in.
‐‐ Slick Rick
I never really wore makeup in high school; I wasn't really into it yet, which is probably good.
‐‐ Megan Park
