I wasn't driven into medicine by a social conscience but by rampant curiosity.
‐‐ Jonathan Miller
I wasn't driving down the wrong side of the street, smoking marijuana, waving my gun out the window.
‐‐ Coolio
I wasn't dyslexic, I was just very slow. I passed my time daydreaming.
‐‐ Jean Dujardin
I wasn't eating the right kinds of calories. I didn't know about healthy carbs such as brown rice and lentils. Now I eat small meals throughout the day: oatmeal with cinnamon to start, fruit and yogurt as a snack, and vegetables or with chicken or tuna, and a healthy carb, like a yam, for lunch.
‐‐ Alison Sweeney
I wasn't ecstatic about being pregnant - I wasn't somebody who actively wanted kids. Certainly there were no fantasies about nappy-changing.
‐‐ Elizabeth McGovern
I wasn't elected to avoid conflict. I was elected to represent the people of the 2nd District.
‐‐ Tim Griffin
I wasn't enjoying golf much. I was kind of getting a little bit tired, I was getting a little bit moody, and I was constantly getting angry. That's not me. And when I saw that I knew I had to change.
‐‐ Paula Creamer
I wasn't even 20 at the time, but it taught me something about drugs. They can take a good man, a warm, funny, loving family man, and turn him into a loser and worse.
‐‐ Michael Bergin
I wasn't even a big comedy nerd. A lot of the comedians I know - a lot of my friends are comedians - they knew a lot about comedy growing up.
‐‐ Demetri Martin
I wasn't even a theater kid in high school. I studied classical piano, and I ran track.
‐‐ Condola Rashad
I wasn't even aware that there are different styles of taxidermy, traditional and rogue. I wound up really liking the rogue stuff the most, just because it is more artistic and people can go anywhere with it. That stuff I really liked. Honestly, I would have liked to buy some of those pieces.
‐‐ Brian Posehn
I wasn't even born when dad swam in the Olympics. I've seen videos of some of his swims, although I don't think I've ever seen him in the Olympics. He's been a massive support right through my career, and it's good to have someone so close to talk to who knows all about what it's like to compete in an Olympic Games.
‐‐ Aimee Willmott
I wasn't even going to do acting. I don't know how it even happened, to be honest. I was going to go into psychology or something like that. Or business. And then some moment of madness took over and I decided, 'Oh, I'm gonna go to London and try to be an actor.'
‐‐ Amrita Acharia
I wasn't even prepared to be an actress. I was 17 when I came out of high school, and suddenly became Miss World and then I became an actress.
‐‐ Priyanka Chopra
I wasn't even singing when we first started Lion Babe, so my voice has only gotten stronger.
‐‐ Jillian Hervey
I wasn't even sure I'd be able to walk. I couldn't even go outside. Maybe I was just burnt crisp from the gruelling schedule I had been keeping for years.
‐‐ Michael Flatley
I wasn't ever a huge fan of comics. Just not one of those kids, you know?
‐‐ Gary Oldman
I wasn't ever a massive David Essex fan, but I liked a few of his tracks, and Stardust was one of them.
‐‐ Martin Gore
I wasn't ever advised by Scott Sullivan of anything ever being wrong.
‐‐ Bernard Ebbers
I wasn't ever anybody who had a political thing against marriage, but I just thought, 'Why would I want to do that?'
‐‐ Mary Gaitskill
I wasn't ever good enough to be on the baseball team and that sort of stuff.
‐‐ Balthazar Getty
I wasn't ever interested in marrying someone else's career or bank account.
‐‐ Kathie Lee Gifford
I wasn't exactly uncomfortable when I did my first comedy. I was just very aware of the risks; if you do a comedy that sucks, and you suck in it, then you won't get a chance to do it again.
‐‐ Donnie Wahlberg
I wasn't expecting two seconds of me on the medal stand to go viral after the Olympics. I came back to my room after the medal ceremony, and my dad said this picture of me doing a face I don't even remember making is blowing up.
‐‐ McKayla Maroney
I wasn't expelled for anything vicious, just being cheeky, not doing what I was told, answering back, and always rising to the bait if someone said something annoying about my dad.
‐‐ Alfie Allen
I wasn't for Vietnam. When I told that to the hippie newspaper, all my people got nervous.
‐‐ Loretta Lynn
I wasn't frightened of people, but I didn't have a clue about the adult world.
‐‐ Shirley Henderson
I wasn't funny as a kid. I remember enjoying comedians, but I never understood it was a job choice or a profession.
‐‐ Elayne Boosler
I wasn't getting the responses I hoped for. You can't protect yourself from other judgments.
‐‐ Charlotte Gainsbourg
I wasn't going to be a college kid. The only subject I was interested in was English. I think I had a subconscious interest in analyzing story.
‐‐ Eric Bana
I wasn't going to be an actor. I was going to be a lawyer. I came from a family just above working class, just below middle class, a great family of wonderful values. The idea of me having a chance for a law degree was enticing. Enticing to me but also very enticing to my family.
‐‐ Gerard Butler
I wasn't going to get such a nice car - I was going to get a cute little hybrid or something, keep the trees happy - but then my grandfather died, and it was all: retail therapy!
‐‐ Chris Colfer
I wasn't going to great schools, because my parents didn't believe in public education. They wanted the education to be influenced by their religion, so I was going to these halfway education-slash-Christian schools that were like pop-up shop-style education.
‐‐ Katy Perry
I wasn't going to have fun doing a teen movie again.
‐‐ Heath Ledger
I wasn't going to make a slick, glossy over-produced piece of entertainment because then I would be doing what the Capitol did. Then I'm actually putting on the Hunger Games and not making a movie of the 'Hunger Games.'
‐‐ Gary Ross
I wasn't going to shy away from getting married when I did and having a baby young and starting a family, even with the job that I chose.
‐‐ Stephen Curry
I wasn't good at being affable. You get beyond that and realise the attraction in any human being has more to do with what they give to someone rather than just being face candy.
‐‐ Alison Moyet
I wasn't good at examinations, but I went to a very good secondary school - Bolton-on-Dearne - with wonderful teachers, who taught me drama and encouraged me in every way.
‐‐ Brian Blessed
I wasn't good at school.
‐‐ Celine Dion
I wasn't good enough to be a professional soccer player obviously but that was my first goal in life.
‐‐ Sean Durkin
I wasn't good with authority, went to lots of schools, didn't like the fact that there was no autonomy.
‐‐ Nigella Lawson
I wasn't handed college or graduate school or anything else on a silver platter. I had to work very hard, but I did it because I wanted to. That's the real key to happiness. I think unhappy people are those who feel that circumstances are forcing them into a pattern. Happy people are not slaves to the system.
‐‐ Rosalyn Sussman Yalow
I wasn't hanging around the movie theaters in New York where I grew up, a Manhattan brat.
‐‐ Peter Bart
I wasn't happy at all as a child. I was very privileged and knew extraordinary people, but I felt very lonely: my mother thought I was extremely difficult and my grandmother was extremely severe.
‐‐ Marisa Berenson
I wasn't happy with my performance at the World Championships in Daegu. I had an unbelievable race in the heats, but misjudged the semi and finished last.
‐‐ Oscar Pistorius
I wasn't happy with the outcome in Vietnam. Now, I've never said that, but, you know, I'm getting to an age where I think I'd better start saying it... And I don't mean that to sound that I'm being critical of somebody or blaming somebody.
‐‐ Alexander Haig
I wasn't heroic because I was never in danger.
‐‐ Nicholas Winton
I wasn't hip to 'Samurai Jack' until I saw it, but then I was all, 'This show is awesome!'
‐‐ John DiMaggio
I wasn't hugely popular at school. In fact, I was bullied at school.
‐‐ Sally Phillips
