‐‐ Kevin James
I took a route of acting, rather than starmaking, so it cost me a lot financially.

‐‐ Kevin A. Ford
I took a selfie to prove to myself that I exist!
‐‐ Maximillian Degenerez
I took a shot and tried to create something world changing and it didn't work out. I gave it everything I had, literally, and now I'm just trying to manage day by day and it's been challenging but my wife and my kids are healthy, and I'm OK.
‐‐ Curt Schilling
I took a sociology class, and I got an A in it. Then I found out you could get an emphasis in criminal justice. I wanted to be an administrator.
‐‐ Eric Stonestreet
I took a test once; they said I was a genius.
‐‐ Alex Honnold
I took a trip in 2004, a year after the war started in Iraq. I played music on the streets of Baghdad for Iraqi civilians. I'd also play for U.S. soldiers at night when they were off duty in the bars. Then I would talk to people, and I would film them and ask them about their life and the conflict.
‐‐ Michael Franti
I took a whole stunt course and pretty much got certified as a stunt driver. It's ridiculous how easy it is once you understand the car and know how to do it.
‐‐ Aaron Paul
I took a workshop from him a few months after that. That experience changed my whole approach to photography. At that workshop in Yosemite in 1973 I decided I wanted to try and see if I could pursue this for myself, and I'm still trying.
‐‐ John Sexton
I took a writing class in college, liked it, and my first year out of school I couldn't get a job, so I wrote a play.

I took acting and elocution lessons, to get rid of my Sicilian accent.
‐‐ Maria Grazia Cucinotta
I took acting classes in college, and once I graduated, I decided to give acting a shot when I couldn't really think of anything else to do. It took me a couple of years to get an agent, and my first big break was The Fanelli Boys, which was a sitcom on NBC. Then I did a few television movies.
‐‐ Christopher Meloni
I took acting classes in my senior year in college and I loved it.

‐‐ Michael Ironside
I took after my father.
‐‐ Patrick Swayze
I took Al Unser out on a Hobie the day before he became the first auto racer to go 200 mph around a closed-circuit track. We were only going about 18 mph, and you should have seen him hanging on for dear life.
‐‐ Hobart Alter
I took all my TV experience and what I learned about - by writing and directing and bringing a movie to Sundance - about the realities of the independent film market: 'Transparent' is the marriage of those two situations.
‐‐ Jill Soloway
I took all my wax studies and threw them in the fire... that's the way it is when something unpleasant happens to me. I take my hammer and I squash a figure.
‐‐ Camille Claudel
I took all of my rejection letters - there must have been thousands of them in a huge box - and I went out on the curb and burned them all, crying.
‐‐ Janet Evanovich
I took all the philosophy courses I could.
‐‐ Judd Nelson
I took an acting class at Cerritos Junior College and I did a handful of plays, maybe five or six plays.
‐‐ John Corbett
I took an acting class with Louise Lasser, Woody Allen's first wife and co-star in many movies. I've done some other indie films, if you look on the YouTube. I love acting - it's great.
‐‐ Gary Shteyngart
I took an improv class in 2005 in Chicago at ComedySportz, which was short-form, more of a games-based improv. I remember it being real fun and helping with my stand-up. If I did an improv class, and then I did stand-up later, I felt looser on stage and more comfortable.
‐‐ Hannibal Buress
I took an incredibly roundabout route getting into feature films.
‐‐ Duncan Jones
I took an interest in the Civil Rights Movement. I listened to Martin Luther King. The Vietnam War was raging. When I was 18, I was eligible for the draft, but when I went to be tested, I didn't qualify.
‐‐ Radhanath Swami
I took an MA course in creative writing a couple of years back, and I was definitely in the bottom of the class.

I took an oath of office to protect Arizona from all enemies, foreign and domestic.
‐‐ Doug Ducey
I took an oath to protect the Constitution, and protecting the Constitution means not letting the president bypass the separation of powers.
‐‐ Blake Farenthold
I took an oath to protect the people of Arizona, and that's what I'm going to do. I'm going to keep pushing in that direction.
‐‐ Jan Brewer
I took anatomy classes. I went to medical libraries and talked to doctors and nutritionists. I did the whole thing before using myself as a human guinea pig.
‐‐ Marilu Henner
I took and received campaign donations under the existing laws.
‐‐ Sheila Jackson Lee
I took back my life.
‐‐ Etta James
I took ballet dancing forever, and there was a natural transition into acting.
‐‐ Judy Greer

‐‐ Mort Walker
I took Bobby Kennedy through the delta and he cried like a baby.
‐‐ Charles Evers

‐‐ Dennis Muren
I took care of young adults with cystic fibrosis when I was in my residency training and found this to be a disease that was desperately in need of some explanation.
‐‐ Francis Collins
I took charge of the government as per my commitment to serving the country and the people, and not out of any greed for yet another post.
‐‐ Khil Raj Regmi
I took classes taught by an elderly woman who wrote children's stories. She was polite about the science fiction and fantasy that I kept handing in, but she finally asked in exasperation, 'Can't you write anything normal?'
‐‐ Octavia E. Butler
I took classical piano for a couple of years, but I sort of lost interest - I couldn't read a note today if I tried. I still enjoy that stuff, and I think I naturally gravitate towards the classical licks; in fact, I know that I do. I gravitate towards the classical licks that I heard by famous old composers.
‐‐ Tom Scholz
I took computers in high school. I would do all my own programming, but I didn't see the future of computers for anything other than data processing. Who was going to use a computer for communications?
‐‐ Craig Hatkoff
I took courses at USC in film editing and art direction and photography when I was still in high school.
‐‐ Ray Harryhausen
I took drugs because we all took drugs.
‐‐ Marianne Faithfull
I took English courses in college, but I don't have an English degree. I have a degree in economics.
‐‐ Patrick Carman
I took every chance I could to meet with U.S. soldiers. I talked with them and read the books they gave me about the war. I decided I needed to return to my country and join with them - active duty soldiers and Vietnam Veterans in particular - to try and end the war.
‐‐ Jane Fonda
I took five years on the first volume, five years on the second volume, and ten years on the third volume.
‐‐ Shelby Foote
I took four years off after 'In the Cut' because I wanted to see who I'd be without work. I even tried being a hermit in the wilderness in New Zealand. I stayed in a warden's hut two-and-a-half hours off the Routeburn Track through the fjords on the South Island. It was early winter, so there was no electricity or running water.
‐‐ Jane Campion
