I wasn't a big star in the school plays or anything.
‐‐ Rachel Weisz
I wasn't a businesswoman, so I didn't know how to build a career.

‐‐ Marion Zimmer Bradley

‐‐ Alan Zweibel
I wasn't a cliquey person, and I think that's because I came from a large family. I got along with everybody, and I usually got along with the people that people didn't like.
‐‐ Amy Sedaris

‐‐ J. K. Simmons
I wasn't a competitor. I would play outside with my friends, but not really anything like ballet or soccer. I tried to play soccer, and it went badly.
‐‐ Sibel Kekilli
I wasn't a dancer learning to play Baby Houseman. I was Baby Houseman learning to play a dancer. I was someone who'd never done any Latin dance. I'd taken jazz classes and ballet growing up in New York, so I had dance in me, and I knew I loved it, but I'd never done a dance audition.

I wasn't a glamour-puss, and there were more interesting roles for an actress like me in the theater and in live television.
‐‐ Nancy Marchand
I wasn't a good student in high school. I mean, I got through it, but unless it had something to do with music, it didn't really interest me.
‐‐ Eddie Trunk
I wasn't a good student in high school. I wanted to go to college, but they weren't exactly beating down my door to offer me admission, and it's so expensive in the U.S. If you join up for a period, the army will pay your school and provide a stipend.

I wasn't a jock in school, and by the 10th grade, when I was in boarding school I was carrying water buckets for the girls' hockey team.

I was not an athlete past the age of 13 or 14 when they start throwing the ball really fast.
‐‐ Michael Weatherly
I wasn't a kid growing up thinking, 'One day I'll get an Oscar and make a speech.' That wasn't on my mind.

‐‐ Jason Lee
I wasn't a ladies' man.
‐‐ Kapil Dev
I wasn't a major in political science for nothing, so I understood the politics of beauty and the politics of race when it comes to the fashion industry.

‐‐ Rufus Sewell
I wasn't a naturally confident, extravert, outgoing person.
‐‐ Steve Coogan

‐‐ Maya Angelou
I wasn't a rebel.
‐‐ Kat Dennings
I wasn't a rebel. It kind of clicked in my head, like, if I want to do this, I can go out and do it. Some kids, it clicks for them, and it doesn't work out. But thank God for me it did work out. I put in all those hard hours of work, and it has gotten me to where I am.
‐‐ Robert Griffin III
I wasn't a regular, avid 'Bones' fan, but I'd certainly seen it. I liked the banter; I liked the people and that world.

‐‐ Carrie Snodgress
I wasn't a sex symbol, I was a sex zombie.
‐‐ Veronica Lake
I wasn't a smart kid and I still don't think I'm too smart when it comes to book smart, but I was very good with what I knew and with my craft and I think that was my calling in life. But even today I never went to college.

‐‐ Christopher Lee
I wasn't a 'Star Trek' fan, yet I knew who all the characters were. that goes to show what an impact the show had not just in entertainment but in life. I knew who Chekhov was and I knew who Kirk and Spock were, although I probably had never seen the show.
‐‐ Marina Sirtis
I wasn't a trained Mickey Mouse club performer. I played in jazz clubs and restaurants.
‐‐ Norah Jones
I wasn't a troublemaker. I wasn't impertinent. The teachers liked me. But year after year, the comments on my report cards basically came down to a single point, and it was 100% accurate: I seemed to get nothing whatsoever out of all those long hours spent in the classroom.
