I was starstruck and completely confused; making a film of this story hadn't even occurred to me, and I hadn't written a single line of the book yet. I had no idea how this man knew anything about my book proposal.
‐‐ Laura Hillenbrand
I was starstruck by Michelle Obama. She's an amazing-looking lady, and I'm a massive Barack Obama fan anyway.
‐‐ Niall Horan
I was starting to become impotent through this diet and couldn't perform. How many people who are taking the little blue pill, if they started to change what they are eating most of the time, could change the way their sex life is?

‐‐ Joe Arpaio
I was staying at the Konchucos Tambo lodge, next to the Huascaran national park, near Chavin. Sitting here on its veranda, I was beginning to see where all those Latin American magical realists get their inspiration from: they don't need to make anything up; they just write down what's around them.
‐‐ Mark Barrowcliffe
I was staying with my sister and messing around with the guitar every day for my own amusement. Then she took me around and introduced me to Muddy Waters, Jimmy Rogers, Little Walter, and the first time I saw that onstage, it inspired me to play. I thought that was the world.

‐‐ Penny Jordan
I was still closeted, but from the day I decided to run for office, knowing that I was gay, I decided that I would, of course, still be closeted but that I would work very hard for gay rights. It would be totally dishonorable, being gay, not to do that. So I had that as kind of a secondary agenda.
‐‐ Barney Frank
I was still enjoying coaching, but there was a repetitious manner about it.
‐‐ Darrell Royal
I was still in college when 'To Kill a Mockingbird' came out in 1960. I remember it had a kind of an electrifying effect on this country; this was a time when there were a lot of good books coming out.

I was still thought of as a kid actor even though I was in my mid twenties.
‐‐ Tommy Rettig
I was still young when I missed Beijing. I was favourite to win a medal but I knew I had time. My coach advised me to stay at school and finish my exams. Even if I had gone and won the Olympics, I might not have handled the pressure. So I moved on.
‐‐ David Rudisha
I was stillborn. The midwives laid me aside, thought I was really gone. I laid there about an hour, and they picked me back up and tried again, 'cause my body was still warm. The Good Lord brought me back.
‐‐ James Brown

‐‐ Martha Reeves
I was street smart, but unfortunately the street was Rodeo Drive.

I was struck after 9/11 by what seemed the assumption that everyone bereaved by that event was suffering the same thing. I wanted to explore how individual grief is, how complicated, how colored by the complexity of the mourner's relationship with the person who's died.
‐‐ Sue Miller
I was struck by Suu Kyi's warmth and generosity. No matter how petite she looks, she exudes amazing strength. More than anything else, I felt like I already knew her, like she was an old friend, because I'd been watching her so intently, and she was exactly what I had figured she would be.
‐‐ Michelle Yeoh
I was struck by the way Europeans see history as something neatly linear. For me, it's not that; it's not some kind of straight railway.

I was struggling with anorexia, and one of the biggest problems with an eating disorder is you don't realize you have it. And you can't heal until you realize there's a problem.
‐‐ Lindsey Stirling
I was stuck as a Boomer type in a lot of people's minds.
‐‐ David Morse
I was stuck at home in bed with me and got more and more involved with the Internet. I used it to keep in contact with friends and to make sure I was up to date with everything that was going on in the world.
‐‐ Benjamin Cohen
I was stuck in a wheelchair playing this deranged villain. I felt this mass amount of rage at being so confined. I thought, 'What can I do that is the direct opposite of this situation?' The only thing I could think of was that I could sing and dance.
‐‐ Kenneth Branagh
I was stuck in the benefits of being a known comedian.
‐‐ Andrea Martin
I was stuck with looking like a girl. As soon as I got out of music it was straight off to the hairdressers.

‐‐ Kenneth Branagh
I was studying communications and acting, and I decided over the summer that I wanted to work on my acting skills and perform in a pageant. I didn't have any other way of practicing, so I entered the Miss Rhode Island pageant. I ended up wearing a dress that was a $20 rental. It was too short, and there was a hole in the back of it.
‐‐ Olivia Culpo
I was studying English, as you will, in the day, and five nights a week, I would be at the cinema. That continued throughout my 20s, which was also the 1980s - there was a lot of really good films coming out then.
‐‐ Geoff Dyer
I was studying for the SAT's and learning lines.
‐‐ Joseph Gordon-Levitt

‐‐ Patti Smith
I was studying International Relations at Columbia when 9/11 happened, and it made me want understand the security dynamics of the world.

‐‐ Ellen Gustafson
I was studying music in college. I was singing, I was doing operas and Gilbert and Sullivan operettas, and then I was offered a job as the music director of the Bigfork Summer Playhouse, in Bigfork, Montana.
