I thought Star Wars was too wacky for the general public.
‐‐ George Lucas
I thought Steve Jobs was amazing. He was such a great businessman. Someone that has just been really continually successful with their brand and hasn't gone away, Madonna is incredible. We've all kind of listened to her for years and seen her grow up and change, and she's never strayed away from who she is.
‐‐ Tabatha Coffey
I thought surrendering was a weakness; instead it's the strongest thing a man or a woman can ever do, to acknowledge our Creator who's in control of all things.
‐‐ Lex Luger
I thought that all of the sacrifices and blessings of the whole history of mankind have devolved upon me. Thank you, God.
‐‐ Ben Stein
I thought that automobiles were going to have mufflers and go fast and airplanes were going to fly fast.
‐‐ Jack Vance
I thought that being popular in school was just so pathetic. I knew I had a future over and beyond the horizon of that school.
‐‐ Milla Jovovich
I thought that by saying no and explaining my reasons my employer would abandon his social suggestions. However, to my regret, in the following few weeks, he continued to ask me out on several occasions.
‐‐ Anita Hill
I thought that communism, the tyranny of communism, was an abomination and I beseeched God to bring that terrible evil down and he did. It was a great triumph, it took awhile, but it happened.
‐‐ Pat Robertson
I thought that Donald Trump's ascendancy would end when he attacked John McCain, saying he's not a war hero. I found that shocking, for him to say that.
‐‐ Cory Booker
I thought that ending Glass-Steagall was a mistake.
‐‐ John Gutfreund
I thought that Hollywood was just for geniuses and that directors come from three generations of directors. I was worried that I was not up to the challenge of making a movie. Then realized that all a director has to do is know what he wants to do.
‐‐ Fede Alvarez
I thought that I'd always just do Broadway, my original plan, but that was derailed.
‐‐ Toni Trucks
I thought that I'd have a briefcase-and-power-suit career.
‐‐ Rachel Nichols
I thought that I'd never be able to work in films or TV. Another girl would be cutting her nose to be an actress. I was always very sure about myself.
‐‐ Elena Roger
I thought that I held the record of most appearances on the Bob Hope Show, but I think - It's Brooke Shields.
‐‐ Tony Randall
I thought that I was going to be like this earth mother. When people would complain about being pregnant, I was like, 'What are you talking about? It's incredible! Just enjoy it.'
‐‐ Gwen Stefani
I thought that I was going to be Mrs. Michael Jackson, but I was ready at 20 and 21 to get married, and he was not even close to getting married or having a girlfriend at that time, but yes, we dated. We dated for a while.
‐‐ Stephanie Mills
I thought that I was going to have to pay them to do what I wanted to do, that was how much fun I was having. You're 20 years old and you're hanging out with rock stars and going to fabulous parties, and then you talk about it!
‐‐ Daisy Fuentes
I thought that I would have a huge literary novel coming out when I was, like, 29. I quit my banking job, and I was halfway through my second novel - and I will never publish it, because it's very mediocre.
‐‐ Philipp Meyer
I thought that I would like to be affiliated with some school or institution. As time went on, I also decided on the subject that I wanted to get involved with in addition to music: it was Black Studies.
‐‐ Donald Byrd
I thought that I wrote songs and wrote music, and that was sort of what I thought I was best at doing. And because nobody else was ever doing my songs, I felt - you know, I had to go out and do them.
‐‐ David Bowie
I thought that if acting didn't work out, I'd have done law school or medical school: probably law to be honest.
‐‐ Jesse Williams
I thought that if I could play rugby on TV, I'd be able to get my mum a house. That was the driving factor.
‐‐ Sonny Bill Williams
I thought that if I could speed up the production of animation, I could make a big business out of recreating the amazing images of the news because what we get on TV is always the last bit of image.
‐‐ Jimmy Lai
I thought that if one wanted to be a writer, one had to write novels because I didn't know that one could be a poet.
‐‐ Robin Coste Lewis
I thought that if you come across as a freak, there will be some kind of distance. Maybe the distance became excessive. I realized that people were afraid of me without knowing me.
‐‐ Thomas Kretschmann
I thought that in general we in the United States were too optimistic in believing that the Soviets might alter what had been for a long time, as a matter of fact for centuries, fundamental Russian policies in respect to the rest of the world.
‐‐ David K. E. Bruce
I thought that it would be easier to learn that if I worked in motion pictures. So I went to work with one motion picture producer who was developing a color system. This didn't do to me much good. All I did was pick filters for the camera.
‐‐ John Hench
I thought that making movies was drab. I'd lived through that. And I didn't want to use my parents, ever... They didn't want to push me into this business.
‐‐ Liza Minnelli
I thought that maybe it is not so much, as he seems to think, that the world loses interest in female performers after they hit a certain age, than the performers lose interest in the world.
‐‐ Lara St. John
I thought that my life would be spent working in a bookstore, teaching community college, and making music in my spare time that no one would be willing to listen to.
‐‐ Moby
I thought that my movie career was finished. I was quite happy to dedicate myself 100% to the theater. Surprisingly enough, I've never gotten so many work offers. It's so exciting, this feeling of a new beginning after 40.
‐‐ Amy Irving
I thought that once we were out of the baby stage, parenting would be a breeze.
‐‐ Tori Spelling
I thought that people should know about the dangers of Satanism, and diabolism does exist - there's no question about it.
‐‐ Christopher Lee
I thought that plastic surgery was easy, but it is really serious and is not something you want to mess around with.
‐‐ Heidi Montag
I thought that, post-apartheid, there would be absolutely no interest in South Africa. That has been both true and untrue. The major writers like Gordimer and Coetzee have produced major books. But some of the more minor writers have drifted away.
‐‐ Justin Cartwright
I thought that some of my best records was when there wasn't a lot of work being done on it, like 'Winter in America' and 'Secrets' and when there weren't a whole lot of people in the studios.
‐‐ Gil Scott-Heron
I thought that somehow your life would be much different when you're famous... and it's not. You just buy more stuff.
‐‐ Nicole Sullivan
I thought that strange syntax was the language of story books. I didn't realize those were poor translations... English from Edwardian times.
‐‐ Sandra Cisneros
I thought that subtitles are boring because they're there generally to serve us with information to make you understand what people are saying in a different language.
‐‐ Tony Scott
I thought that that mission and the mission of taking care of those soldiers were my priorities, and I stand by the same today. There wasn't a lot of support for those soldiers.
‐‐ Janis Karpinski
I thought that that was an effort to inject a popular element, a democratic element into the selection of a person who, once he is selected and confirmed, is beyond electoral control.
‐‐ Stephen Breyer
I thought that the administration needed bipartisan support, and I was for our commander-in-chief. Because I felt at that time it was the right thing do. If I knew then what I know now, I would have never voted for the war.
‐‐ Ken Lucas
I thought that the AIVD was there to protect citizens like me.
‐‐ Theo Van Gogh
I thought that the chief thing to be done in order to equal boys was to be learned and courageous. So I decided to study Greek and learn to manage a horse.
‐‐ Elizabeth Cady Stanton
I thought that the fashion world could be a bit fake sometimes, but it's nothing compared to Hollywood. These girls would walk over their grandmothers' graves to get a part, and the producers talk about actresses like they're dirt, picking over every part of them so that they end up paranoid and having surgery.
‐‐ Elizabeth Jagger
I thought that there might be something unsatisfying about directing two Tolkien movies after 'Lord of the Rings.' I'd be trying to compete with myself and deliberately doing things differently.
‐‐ Peter Jackson
I thought that through the strip, I could vent my spleen and be funny at the same time. But when it comes to humor, there's no substitute for reality and politicians.
‐‐ Jeff MacNelly
I thought that 'Twilight' would be a kind of girl movie, but it was cool.
‐‐ Kodi Smit-McPhee
I thought that was the crown jewel of the reporter's resume - to actually go to jail protecting a source.
‐‐ Trey Gowdy
