I never thought I was particularly good looking. But when I see old photographs, I realise that I was. I do wish I had known that at the time because beauty is power. I didn't realise how lucky I was to be young, beautiful and in Hollywood. It didn't hit me. Every day I woke up, went to the film studio and just got on with it.

I never thought I was pretty enough. I was kind of tall and lanky. I don't mind it now, but back in the day I hated it. I would tell myself that what I think is ugly at 17 is actually what's going to be pretty about me later.
‐‐ Giuliana Rancic
I never thought I was right for TV or that TV was right for me.
‐‐ Henry Rollins
I never thought I was the most beautiful model out there or the most sexy woman, but I was a hard worker.
‐‐ Carol Alt
I never thought I was very good at developing material. I grew up at the BBC where they sent you scripts.
‐‐ Stephen Frears
I never thought I was wasted, but I probably was.
‐‐ Keith Richards
I never thought I was writing for kids at all. It really shocked and unsettled me to hear kids were buying the books. If I'd known I was writing for kids, I might actually have spelt things out a bit more, and that would probably have killed the appeal.
‐‐ Jeff Kinney
I never thought I would be divorced.
‐‐ Andrew Cuomo

‐‐ Gillian Jacobs
I never thought I would be in a film.
‐‐ Rhys Ifans
I never thought I would be in a position like this, where my words and experiences are now inspiring others to follow suit. It's challenging at times, but I can only look forward to the future of business and philanthropy.
‐‐ Blake Mycoskie
I never thought I would be one of those wacky chicks who say, 'I loved my labor,' but I loved every part of it. It was the best day of my life.

‐‐ Patti LaBelle
I never thought I would be somewhat of a gay icon.
‐‐ Eric Stonestreet
I never thought I would be standing here, married to an All-American guy, living in Oklahoma. What a country.
‐‐ Nadia Comaneci
I never thought I would be such a family-oriented guy; I didn't think that was part of my makeup. But somebody said that as you get older, you become the person you always should have been, and I feel that's happening to me.
‐‐ David Bowie
I never thought I would become a television host, but I never thought anybody would pay me to just talk.
‐‐ Kimberly Caldwell
I never thought I would become amazing. I never thought I would be as great as my father. I would like to continue writing novels, and hopefully, at some point, I would like to make the switch from being 'Stephen Hawking's daughter' to 'novelist Lucy Hawking,' and that will be a fabulous day.
‐‐ Lucy Hawking
I never thought I would become that person who loves working out. It sucks while you're doing it, but the second you finish, it's like, 'Wow, I feel great! I'm stronger and much more confident.'
‐‐ Zoey Deutch
I never thought I would do a game show, but now I guess I'm now officially in that genre.
‐‐ Jeff Foxworthy
I never thought I would end up being the Senator from New York.
‐‐ Hillary Clinton
I never thought I would get married and have kids. I thought I was going to be a gypsy actor, traveling all over the world playing the great roles. I ended up having a kid very young, and it put things in perspective.
‐‐ Bobby Cannavale
I never thought I would get married. I didn't think I was that type of person.
‐‐ Heather Brooke
I never thought I would get such a perfect role in 'Modern Family.' A lot of TV shows now are looking for more Latin women.

‐‐ Ray Stevenson
I never thought I would go into the dance charts.
‐‐ Yoko Ono
I never thought I would have any particular career in movies at all.

I never thought I would live long enough to see the legal profession change to the extent it has.
‐‐ Constance Baker Motley
I never thought I would model for more than a few years.
‐‐ Christy Turlington
I never thought I would really like to be on television, and the story of me getting into it was quite lucky, really, just a series of chance encounters. So I am not exactly putting myself across as a celebrity, although people might perceive me that way.
‐‐ Louis Theroux
I never thought I would run for Congress. If you look back at a certain reality TV show, you know that.
‐‐ Sean Duffy
I never thought I would say this, but I'm desperate to do an action film.
‐‐ Lily James
I never thought I would see a free South Sudan.
‐‐ Alek Wek
I never thought I would start working again, and I did, but it was really hard, and I don't know that I would advise anyone to step back the way I did.
‐‐ Debra Winger
I never thought I would work in mainstream superhero comics or Valiant or Marvel. I just set out to make the kinds of stories I wanted to make, which at the beginning was small personal stuff like 'Essex County.'
‐‐ Jeff Lemire
I never thought I would write about the Book of Revelation. It's so dense; it's so complex and puzzling. But then I found I was thinking about a number of themes, one of which has to do with politics and religion.
‐‐ Elaine Pagels
I never thought I wouldn't succeed. Not because I thought I was good-looking - I just thought I would make it.
‐‐ Babette March
I never thought in a million years I'd be that healthy girl who wakes up every morning to exercise. After being called 'cherubic and chubby,' I'm rocking a bikini!
‐‐ Kelly Osbourne
I never thought in a million years that I would do a weekly series.
‐‐ Jennifer Ehle
I never thought in my life, I never really thought I would get married. I watched my parents go through a divorce, and I thought, like, this is just not something people are supposed to do.
‐‐ Ashton Kutcher
I never thought, in my lifetime, that you'd be able to watch movies, read books and listen to music from a phone, but I guess the technology of tomorrow is here today.
‐‐ Dolly Parton
I never thought in my wildest dreams that I would have my very own school - no way. And I had no idea I'd be coaching girls. It's wild.
‐‐ Liang Chow
I never thought in terms of being a leader. I thought very simply in terms of helping people.
‐‐ John Hume
I never thought it was fair for an 8-year-old child not to be able to afford shoes, or to wander the streets having to beg for money. To know that child's joy would end soon, when they realised there was no future.
‐‐ Shakira
I never thought it was unusual to write, and I've been writing or pretending to write since before I even started school.
‐‐ Ellen Gilchrist
I never thought modeling would become my career. I thought it was something I'd do to pay my way through college.
‐‐ Liya Kebede
I never thought much about God, certainly never wondered whether God was thinking about me, until I fell in love with a Zen Buddhist priest.
‐‐ Stacey D'Erasmo
I never thought much about success early on. I only thought about being a comedian - or just being in show business, is really more accurate.
‐‐ Steve Martin
