‐‐ Lindsey Vonn

‐‐ Giuliana Rancic
I never thought my private life would be newsworthy.
‐‐ Annette Bening
I never thought of acting as a creative process. Christ, I used to go to the movies and see Brando talking like he was trying to sell shoes, and he was great. I thought anybody could do it. Then I tried it, and I got so uptight, I'm limited as to what I can do on film.
‐‐ Kris Kristofferson

‐‐ Alain Resnais
I never thought of being disadvantaged.
‐‐ Natalie du Toit
I never thought of Green Day as a punk band. Just bubblegum, really.

‐‐ Randy Travis
I never thought of it as God. I didn't know what to call it. I don't believe in devils, but demons I do because everyone at one time or another has some kind of a demon, even if you call it by another name, that drives them.
‐‐ Gene Wilder
I never thought of Kim Basinger in terms of age. For me she embodies woman with her subtleties and intricacies. She's sensual and intellectually engaging, elegant with a very strong personal style.
‐‐ Camilla Belle
I never thought of London in terms of possible heroes - of course, there are thousands. It's a very talented city.
‐‐ Doris Lessing
I never thought of losing, but now that it' s happened, the only thing is to do it right. That's my obligation to all the people who believe in me. We all have to take defeats in life.

I never thought of myself as a singer, like ever, ever, ever. It's hysterical that I sing.
‐‐ Kate Micucci
I never thought of myself as a wealthy person. I've thought of myself as a person who has had a lot of luck. I don't have the same stress that other people have, but there are too many things I could have done differently if wealth was what I was after. If I was all about money, I would have lived in L.A.
‐‐ Alec Baldwin
I never thought of myself as a writer.
‐‐ David E. Kelley
I never thought of myself as a writer about religion until a religion came after me.
‐‐ Salman Rushdie
I never thought of myself as being a good songwriter. There are a ton of other people that are good songwriters, but I don't think I'm in the club. What I do well is perform, sometimes sing pretty good, and accompany myself well and arrange fairly well.
‐‐ Alex Chilton
I never thought of myself as being handsome or good-looking or whatever.
‐‐ Elton John

‐‐ Jason Wu
I never thought of myself as capable of stirring up - generating - the actual drumroll for a record, you know, all the press.

‐‐ Imogene Coca
I never thought of politics as a profession.
‐‐ George Papandreou
I never thought of punk rock as the absolute act of rebellion for the sake of rebellion. There's a lot of that in there, but for me I think punk rock was always about questioning things and making decisions for yourself, which is a great message to pass on to your kids.
‐‐ Mark Hoppus
I never thought of stopping, and I just hated sleeping. I can't imagine having a better life.
‐‐ Barbara McClintock
I never thought of what I was doing as a way to sell the NFL. I was making movies about a sport that I loved, about players and coaches that I respected. I wanted to convey my love of the game through film. And most artists convey their love through art. And my art and my love was expressed through film.
‐‐ Steve Sabol
I never thought, 'Oh God, I'm in Prince's shadow.' He'd been performing for years, and he was my teacher.

‐‐ Gordon Smith
I never thought radio would fizzle out.
‐‐ Dick Van Patten
I never thought 'Sodapop Curtis' would announce my retirement. I always thought I would be the one to announce it. I'm a huge fan of the movie, but that caught me way off guard. I can't explain it.
‐‐ Peyton Manning

‐‐ Gabriela Sabatini

‐‐ David Ortiz
I never thought that I could make a living out of my voice, to be completely honest. I thought that I could probably keep playing pubs. And it was exciting for me to get even just a pub gig in my town or country, when I went to university.
‐‐ Ellie Goulding
I never thought that I could reach such a high political position. But I have always been ready to serve my country.
‐‐ Atifete Jahjaga
