I was never really good in school.
‐‐ A. J. Buckley
I was never really happy until I became 'Doctor Who'.

‐‐ Emraan Hashmi
I was never really obsessed with the whole guy thing to begin with.
‐‐ Beverley Mitchell
I was never really sure what I wanted to do - I'm in awe of these people who knew at age 10 or 12 they wanted to be a brain surgeon, and they did it, and they still are.
‐‐ Jerry Doyle
I was never really that interested in the punk movement. I was a blues guy: I liked Motown, James Brown.
‐‐ Gary Oldman
I was never really unpopular in high school.
‐‐ Tyler Posey
I was never religious.
‐‐ Chaz Bono
I was never restricted. I was never told what to do.
‐‐ Ray Harryhausen
I was never sloppy with other people's money. Only my own. Because I figure, well, you can be.
‐‐ Francis Ford Coppola
I was never so directly inspired by fashion. It always came from somewhere else.
‐‐ Helmut Lang
I was never somebody who grew up going, 'I really want to be a singer in a band,' and I never had any ambition toward anything, really.
‐‐ Fiona Apple
I was never someone that was attached to any party. You know, I've always been an independent person. I'd like to remain like that.
‐‐ Naguib Sawiris
I was never specifically associated with a part, I didn't have tons of money, I wasn't conventionally tall or handsome, so you know the things that were available to me were hard work and perseverance.
‐‐ Seth Green
I was never strong at maths, but I eventually got onto a university physics/astronomy course, and that led on to my Ph.D. and eventual employment.
‐‐ Alastair Reynolds
I was never sullen. I was a terrible punk - I was still so chatty.
‐‐ Melissa McCarthy
I was never supposed to be a businessman. I was going to change the world. I was going to go back to Latin America and work on agrarian reform and equalize the differences between rich and poor.
‐‐ Jorge M. Perez
I was never supposed to make it to Congress. I was a staff person.
‐‐ Dan Maffei
I was never taken to a play or concert or church. Yet I was a show-off, a dreamer, a storyteller.
‐‐ Ralph Waite
I was never taught how to raise a child, because I wasn't raised properly.
‐‐ Corey Feldman
I was never that comfortable in front of the camera, it always terrified me.
‐‐ Andrea Arnold
I was never that famous, but I do think going to college and really getting away from the business and taking a true break is incredibly, incredibly important if you start acting at a young age.
‐‐ Gaby Hoffmann
I was never that good on stage with live improv. I was much better on film or writing something and then thinking about it. I was too in my head when I was on stage.
‐‐ Bill Hader
I was never that into the movies. Never. Even as a youngster. I became interested in movie music only because of the studio orchestras in Hollywood.
‐‐ John Williams
I was never that kid who grew up in New York and was always at the arthouse watching important films. I was the kid who grew up in the Midwest where there weren't any art films, and I watched TV. And that was really the medium that affected me and that I fell in love with.
‐‐ Shawn Ryan
I was never that kind of star. I was never cast because I was gorgeous.
‐‐ Helen Mirren
I was never that much a focus of interest in my career. I'm aware of that now, which doesn't give me a lot of pleasure.
‐‐ Harrison Ford
I was never that much a focus of interest that I became a 'thing' at an earlier point in my career. I'm aware of having become a 'thing' now, which doesn't give me a lot of pleasure.
‐‐ Matt Damon
I was never the 'babe,' so I knew I'd never get those big roles. I'd always be the best friend or the quirky sidekick.
‐‐ Joan Cusack
I was never the best-looking guy; I was never the Tom Cruise-looking guy.
‐‐ Craig Sheffer
I was never the class clown, and I've no idea where the comedy came from.
‐‐ Jasper Carrott
I was never the class clown or anything like that. When I was growing up and doing theatre in Seattle I was always doing very dramatic work. Now I can't get a dramatic role to save my life!
‐‐ Anna Faris
I was never the class clown or put on shows at home. I never thought of acting as something I could do with my life. When I was a kid, I used to run around wrapped in toilet paper so I could be the Mummy. But that wasn't a sign that I was dreaming of being an actor. I was just an odd child.
‐‐ Paul Giamatti
I was never the diplomatic diplomat.
‐‐ Adolfo Aguilar Zinser
I was never the girl in high school who had a boyfriend for years. My longest relationship has been 18 months. I've thought maybe I'm really superficial and unable to have a relationship. What I've found is that people are attracted by my independence, and then they try to squelch it.
‐‐ Pam Dawber
I was never the girl next door.
‐‐ Bettie Page
I was never the girl that grew up saying I want to get married. I actually told my parents to not expect me to get married.
‐‐ Camila Alves
I was never the girl who tore pictures out of wedding magazines.
‐‐ Camila Alves
I was never the girl who walked down the centre of the hallway snapping people out of her way.
‐‐ Piper Perabo
I was never the girl who yearned for children. I pretended to be interested in other people's kids, but that was obviously just an act.
‐‐ Jenny Mollen
I was never the ingenue or the pretty girlfriend of Tom Cruise in a movie. I didn't have that career, so I don't have to compete on that level.
‐‐ Jodie Foster
I was never the ingenue, so hopefully that'll make it easier to age and still work. I know a lot of actors who are really dissatisfied with where they're at even though some of them are huge stars and I feel like, 'Oh, my God, you're at the top.' Something interesting will come. It always does. I have faith.
‐‐ Hope Davis
I was never the kind of person who cared much what people thought about me.
‐‐ Rene Russo
I was never the pretty girl at school. I'm tiny and mixed-race. I grew up in a white area. I was always the loner.
‐‐ FKA twigs
I was never the smartest guy in the room. From the first person I hired, I was never the smartest guy in the room. And that's a big deal. And if you're going to be a leader - if you're a leader and you're the smartest guy in the world - in the room, you've got real problems.
‐‐ Jack Welch
I was never tomboyish. I loved Barbies. It's just the way I grew up.
‐‐ Poppy Montgomery
I was never too keen on the British music press. They've called us a supermarket hype, and they used to suggest that we didn't write our own songs.
‐‐ Freddie Mercury
I was never too much into school. I liked lunchtimes and breaks, but nah, I hated sitting at a desk. I was always looking out of the window, looking at my watch, thinking about when I could play football.
‐‐ Gareth Bale
I was never top of the class at school, but my classmates must have seen potential in me, because my nickname was 'Einstein.'
‐‐ Stephen Hawking
