I was always interested in working with people with disabilities, and in high school I worked with people who had Down Syndrome. That was for an agency called AHRC, Association for the Help of Retarded Children. Then I went to college, and throughout college I volunteered for AHRC.

I was always into bluegrass as a kid. Basically, I like music that has a basic simple structure and that has a lot of emotion and feel. Bluegrass and other old time music fits the bill, as well as what became punk - they both kind of have a similar framework.
‐‐ Tommy Ramone
I was always into cartoons and animation.
‐‐ Nonito Donaire
I was always into fashion, and used to go on spending sprees when I was a university student in Miami. My father would be furious, but I would always say, 'It was an emergency! I had a party to go to!'
‐‐ Carmen Busquets
I was always into fashion because my mom has always been interested in fashion. She majored in fashion merchandising in college, and it's always been something we have in common.
‐‐ Dakota Fanning
I was always into music. And none of my friends were really into music the same way I was. So it was just different. It was really not very well understood by most of my friends. They didn't tease me about it - they just didn't really relate.
‐‐ Martina McBride
I was always into music, but I wanted to do film when I was kid. I remember seeing big movies and wanting to do them. Then I was lucky enough to act in some of them, and I fell in love with it.
‐‐ Matthew James Thomas
I was always into music. I think everyone is when they're a teenager, as a way to drown out the world.
‐‐ Penelope Spheeris
I was always into pop music, Destiny's Child, songs with catchy music. Even when I was writing when I was younger, it wasn't all about expressing myself; it was just about making fun music.
‐‐ Eliza Doolittle
I was always into punk, ever since I was 13, but I was into other stuff, too - like, well, the Spice Girls. I really liked Scary Spice.
‐‐ Alice Dellal
I was always into science fiction as a kid. I loved science and tinkering with things.
‐‐ David Hanson
I was always into sports and a lot of physical activities. My dad was a kickboxer and a body builder. My mom was an aerobics teacher.

‐‐ Evan Rachel Wood
I was always intrigued by the idea of bringing things together that are considered taboo or risque and bringing them together with something of high elegance and sophistication.
‐‐ Dita Von Teese
I was always intrigued when I was growing up, and then in engineering school, with the idea of a perpetual machine. I think of the Wal-Mart culture as that.
‐‐ Mike Duke
I was always intrigued with European cinema, and hated most American cinema. I didn't like the one, two, three - boom! style, with a neat and tidy ending. That was never my scene.
‐‐ Lee Daniels
I was always inundated with music, whether it be my mother's favorites like Fleetwood Mac and Carole King and the Carpenters, or my dad's jazz music.

I was always inventing characters and making up stories.

I was always jealous of my violinist friends and cellist friends who traveled with their instruments.
‐‐ Christian McKay
I was always jealous of something getting more attention.
‐‐ Robyn Hitchcock
I was always just into my music and maybe into trying to save the world a little bit. I never really thought I'd have a hit record or anything like that. I was prepared to travel around all over the country, kind of like a Johnny Appleseed, and sing.
‐‐ Don McLean
I was always just kind of obsessed with guitar, even before I started playing.
‐‐ St. Vincent
I was always just so feminine. I don't think anyone who ever met me would describe me as a man.
‐‐ Jamie Clayton
I was always keen to get involved in the school drama productions and was a member of the school choir. I was lucky to have attended schools that took music and drama very seriously and the teachers were just brilliant.
‐‐ Bronagh Gallagher
I was always kind of a loudmouth and a class clown, and that kind of led to doing all the school plays and trying out all kinds of different stuff.
‐‐ Dustin Milligan
I was always kind of a school person - my parents were teachers, and my grandparents were immigrants, so their big thing was, 'Go to college, go to college, go to college.'
‐‐ Mayim Bialik
I was always kind of florid. And full of rhetoric. That was my flaw. My whole time writing, I've had to work against that because it can be a wrecking posture.

I was always led to believe you should take care of yourself, trust in your abilities and you're the author of your own destiny.
‐‐ Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje
I was always like, 'No, I don't like sci-fi,' and then I started watching it and thought, I didn't know that's what it was. I think I'd somehow got it confused with action and space-travel action - that sci-fi could only be like 'Star Wars.'
‐‐ Sarah Snook
I was always lonesome. The only time I felt accepted or wanted was when I was on stage performing. I guess the stage was my only friend: the only place where I could feel comfortable. It was the only place where I felt equal and safe.
‐‐ Judy Garland
I was always longing to do, emotionally and physically, what my male counterparts always got to do. I just felt envious, every time I saw a movie that I was in awe of, and it was usually a male lead. And those kinds of roles weren't available. They just weren't being written.
‐‐ Sandra Bullock
I was always looking ahead. I used to do all kinds of things for entertainment. When I was young, we had no radio, no TV. We were 30 miles from the public library, out in the sticks in Western Kansas, and so I'd do arithmetic exercises.
‐‐ Clyde Tombaugh
I was always looking at footage of dancers from Nicholas Brothers to Ralph Brown to Sand Man to Miller Brothers and Lois, and I grew up looking at old footage.

I was always looking for the most dramatic emphasis.
‐‐ Neil LaBute
I was always looking for the same man - a strong father figure.
‐‐ Evelyn Keyes
I was always looking outside myself for strength and confidence but it comes from within. It is there all the time.
‐‐ Anna Freud
I was always looking to record, but how much I actually pursued it was another thing. The major labels weren't that interested in me, and the smaller labels didn't have any money to do anything.
‐‐ Dan Hicks
I was always looking up to supermodels. They were, like, my superheroes.
‐‐ Kendall Jenner
I was always loud and obnoxious and giggly and funny.
‐‐ Krysten Ritter
I was always made to work at a very early age. I finished school at 4 P.M. and by 5 P.M. I was working. It was seven days a week.
‐‐ Albert Gubay
I was always making my friends laugh, but I never wanted the attention of the whole classroom.

‐‐ Tess Gerritsen
