I was a girl in a land where rifles are fired in celebration of a son, while daughters are hidden away behind a curtain, their role in life simply to prepare food and give birth to children.
‐‐ Malala Yousafzai
I was a Girl Scout!
‐‐ Kat Dennings
I was a girly-girl until I moved to New York. Then I got really into the androgynous look of the early-'90s club scene. I had really short hair and started blurring the line a bit. But for me, grade school was about Benetton, Esprit, and Guess jeans.
‐‐ Chloe Sevigny
I was a 'Glee' fan before I joined the show! Since my background is musical theater, it was exciting to see a TV show that incorporated music so much and in such a genius way.
‐‐ Becca Tobin
I was a gnomish prodigy - half-human, half-goblin, man-child, child-man.
‐‐ Mickey Rooney

I was a good 30 pounds overweight throughout high school, and it wasn't until I was going away to college that I really wanted to make sure I was doing everything possible to feel as confident as I could.
‐‐ Daphne Oz
I was a good amateur but only an average professional. I soon realized that there was a limit to how far I could rise in the music business, so I left the band and enrolled at New York University.
‐‐ Alan Greenspan
I was a good boy; I was never in trouble for anything.
‐‐ Joel Edgerton
I was a good college kid, all-American and baseball-playing, living in the dorms with a million barbarians. I did not expect to be claimed by Fitzgerald hook, line, and sinker. 'This Side of Paradise' - that sweet, sophomoric pastiche of notes, scenes, poetry, and plays - I felt like he'd written the book just for me.
‐‐ Ron Carlson
I was a good decathlete until I got with a coach that really knew how to train specifically for the event... I'd really describe it as like being a juggler; you have ten balls and you're trying to get them all in the air at the same time.

I was a good football player, and I had a chance to play with some great players.

‐‐ Gurinder Chadha
I was a good kid.
‐‐ Bonnie Hunt
I was a good kid, but I was just very chatty. Teachers were rarely entertained, but occasionally a child was, which was enough for me. Everything was so urgent. I needed to say it immediately.

‐‐ Emma Stone
I was a good pupil at primary school: in the second class I was writing with no spelling mistakes, and the third and fourth classes were done in a single year.
‐‐ Jose Saramago
I was a good sight reader and I could sing two or three of these jingles a day. An orchestra would come in for half an hour, and then the singers would come in and knock 'em out, and go on to the next one. I was the voice of Budweiser and Almond Joy.
‐‐ Valerie Simpson
I was a good soldier in the British Army. I was born in a very, very poor family. And I enlisted to escape hunger. But my officers were Scottish and they loved me. The Scots are good, you know.

I was a good student, but I didn't like school.

‐‐ Rita Volk
I was a good student in school.
‐‐ Kenan Thompson

‐‐ Tyler Hilton
I was a good student, sort of funny and athletic. I had friends.
‐‐ Rosemary Mahoney
I was a good student until I turned 15. Then, all of a sudden, it didn't matter to me anymore. Isn't that funny. I don't want to go to college. I always knew that. But it's hard. My friends are going, and I feel a little left behind.
‐‐ Clara Mamet
I was a good student when I was a kid, and I did everything I was supposed to do, and I got A's.
‐‐ Demetri Martin
I was a good student with mathematical ability and interests. As such, I took the usual college preparatory program in high school for one looking to become an engineer: all the available courses in mathematics and science.
‐‐ Dale T. Mortensen
I was a good surfer because we grew up a block from the water, and my father took us to the ocean the way other fathers take their kids to the park.
‐‐ Jolene Blalock
I was a goth girl in high school. Perhaps the powdered white face and the black lipstick were not the most attractive. I felt fabulous at the time but looking back, uh, probably not the best idea.
‐‐ Christina Hendricks
I was a government employee in the morning and a writer in the evening.

‐‐ Charles Krauthammer
I was a great student at a great school, Wharton School of Finance.
‐‐ Donald Trump
I was a great student. I was good at everything.
‐‐ Donald Trump
I was a Green Day guy because the first DVD I bought was Green Day's 'Bullet In A Bible,' the live album. That really empowered me to be not just a drummer but a performer. It's a really crucial part of why I wanted to be in a band.
‐‐ Ashton Irwin
I was a groupie for a year and followed a band. I dated the drummer of the band.
‐‐ Malin Akerman
I was a grunt, walking around in the jungle of Vietnam, trying not to find the enemy. Because I am so big, they were going to give me either a heavy radio or a huge machine gun to carry. I carried a radio.
‐‐ Bob Gunton
