I went through a really good-looking phase from birth to 9. And then things went crazy. I don't know what happened, but between 9 and 14 it was really, really rough. I didn't have a lot of friends. The only ones who were nice to me were the theater kids. And they were like, 'You can come and join us. No one likes us.'

‐‐ James Corden
I went through a stage of writing my cramped hand in tiny books. My two sisters and I did have our Bronte period. My mum is from Yorkshire, and we would go up to the Moors. It tapped into our romantic visions of ourselves.
‐‐ Rachel Joyce
I went through a string of A&R men who all thought I should be doing something different. One thought I should be a dance diva; another thought I should do Rock n' Roll; and one thought I shouldn't even be singing at all!

I went through all my electric bills, the water bills, the phone bills, elevator contracts, and I found enough wasteful spending without reducing any programs anywhere, without reducing any services, I found enough wasteful spending to pay my entire salary for three years.

I went through high school, but I didn't graduate.
‐‐ Evel Knievel
I went through life big-bang-banda-boom-bada-boom.
‐‐ Evel Knievel
I went through life like an idiot for a great deal of the time, saying there's nothing I would change. That was a very arrogant thing to say. There's a lot I would change. There are people I would have steered clear of.
‐‐ Hugh Leonard
I went through my adolescence having this revelatory experience - I can have any music I want, and I can get it immediately. For me and for a lot of people I know, there's this musical eclecticism that happened.
‐‐ Grimes
I went through my awkward teenage years. I don't want to go back.

‐‐ Christina Aguilera
I went through my rebellious phase, not in my teenage years, but around age 12. The year I decided I didn't want to do entertainment anymore, I was discovered. And I couldn't back down from that.

I went through my whole life wanting to feel I belonged. I was very, very lonely, so I would marry people that I wasn't really in love with, and who weren't right for me, because I hoped they would be.
‐‐ Lana Wood
I went through phases of odd hairstyles and tank top-over-tee outfits and stuff like that.

I went through puberty late. I was a little, little, tiny kid. I was still growing in college.
‐‐ Rob Riggle
I went through quite a few establishments that maybe weren't great for myself - security units, youth-offender places. I guess that was going to the lions' den. Social services said, 'You've got to go to some sort of school.'
‐‐ King Krule
I went through real darkness, but the ring was my light. That was the one place I felt safe. I could control what happened in the ring. My heart turned icy.
‐‐ Sugar Ray Leonard

‐‐ Geoff Davis
I went through some tough years when I first moved to Los Angeles, and 'The Riches' was my first major success.
‐‐ Noel Fisher
I went through that phase where I wanted to almost be different than my brother. Just kind of argued a little louder or if there was a curfew, I always came in a little later than I was supposed to. If it was set for 12, I would come in at 12:45. I would test the limits a little. There was no real reason and I grew out of it, eventually.
‐‐ Eli Manning
I went through the extremes of amazing notoriety and also the dreaded things that you never thought you'd have to live through. Not everything works the way you want it to, but if I sit back and think, 'Am I happy about this?' Yeah. I wouldn't have done anything any better.
‐‐ Ralph Lauren
I went through the process of auditioning like every other struggling actress in this town.
‐‐ Taryn Manning

I went through the whole number, you know. The swing era, the boogie woogie era, the bebop era. Thelonious Monk is still one of my favorites. So a lot of these people had their effect on me.
‐‐ Mose Allison
I went through this delayed-adolescence thing. I didn't want to be tied down to a family.
‐‐ Randy Quaid
I went through this phase where I thought pink and purple matched. To dance class, I'd wear purple tights and pink leg warmers and paint my shoes purple. It was really odd.
‐‐ Carrie Ann Inaba
I went through this realization that acting, at its heart, is the ability to manipulate your own emotions.
