We didn't ever want 'Tarzan' to feel like he was just a man. We didn't want him to stand up straight or wave good-bye. We wanted to make sure he always had that piece of gorilla in him, that he always had an animal attitude about him.

We didn't exist. Ronald Reagan didn't say the word 'AIDS' until 1987. I've tried desperately to get a meeting in the White House; Gay Men's Health Crisis is already an established organization. I have a certain presence.
‐‐ Larry Kramer
We didn't gel with Poison and the Bon Jovi. Bon Jovi was the best of the pop metal bands, but we never fit in with the hair metal stuff. We were never as hip as the Chili Peppers. We were in the middle.
‐‐ Gary Cherone
We didn't get along, me and Bill Murray. But I've got to give it to him: I don't like him, but he makes me laugh even now. I'm also jealous that he's a better golfer than I am.
‐‐ Richard Dreyfuss
We didn't go for music that sounded like blues, or jazz, or rock, or Led Zeppelin, or Rolling Stones. We didn't want to be like any of the other bands.
‐‐ Michael Giles
We didn't go to the moon to explore or because it was in our DNA or because we're Americans. We went because we were at war and we felt a threat.
‐‐ Neil deGrasse Tyson
We didn't grow up overly religious, but there was an understanding that you had a duty as a citizen to help your fellow man.
‐‐ John Morgridge
We didn't have a backyard, so as I child, I would turn the coffee table into a stage and put on shows. But it was just a fun thing to do; I never thought about it as a profession. That started as a fluke; my mother had a friend who was an artist with a theater company, and I started going there after school because my mom knew I'd be safe.
‐‐ Julia Stiles
We didn't have a beauty shop as I grew up.
‐‐ Jenifer Lewis
We didn't have a drill so he would burn the holes through the wood with a metal rod that he heated up in a fire. Can you imagine an ordinary crew doing that?
‐‐ Marc Singer
We didn't have a garage to rehearse in. We had to aggravate the folks in the house. But I got a chance to play in a beer joint, and that's how it started.
‐‐ Charlie Daniels
We didn't have a glee club at my school. It depends on what area of the States you're from. It's more in the Midwest.
‐‐ Jonathan Groff
We didn't have a lot of live theater in Oklahoma. I didn't visit New York when I was growing up. I watched movie musicals, and I believed in an idealistic, idyllic version of Broadway.
‐‐ Kelli O'Hara
We didn't have a lot of money growing up, so my mom didn't buy a lot of extras, like sweet things.
‐‐ Julianne Moore
We didn't have a lot when I was growing up, and it's the best thing that happened to me because I appreciate everything. I developed a strong work ethic, and I don't take anything for granted.
‐‐ Sarah Jessica Parker
We didn't have a phone when I was a kid, and I was too shy to smash any public phones, and our town didn't have a pool hall either, so I had to hang out at the public library - and anyway, I told myself stories.
‐‐ John Sladek
We didn't have a television, so I grew up with books. This isn't to suggest I'm an intellectual, but I do read a lot because part of acting is an exploration of literature.
‐‐ Stephen Rea
We didn't have a TV because we didn't have a whole lot of money. My parents would have their friends over - their friends who thought, 'How can you live without a TV?'
‐‐ Johnny Galecki
We didn't have a TV in the living room and all my friends thought we were kind of weird. When they'd come over, my mom wanted to talk to them about current events.
‐‐ Eliza Dushku
We didn't have a TV until I was 12.
‐‐ Jane Hamilton
We didn't have a whole lot of money when I was growing up either. I would always ask for magic books or magic tricks for my birthday or for Christmas and the rest of the year I either had to mow lawns or find part time jobs to help supplement the cost of doing magic.
‐‐ Lance Burton
We didn't have all the distractions that young people have today. We didn't have these incredible computer games and social networks to engage with. I understand that. But once young readers do discover reading, when they discover a book which they fall in love with, it really unleashes something new in their imagination.
‐‐ Mark Billingham
We didn't have any segregation at the Cotton Club. No. The Cotton Club was wide open, it was free.
‐‐ Cab Calloway
We didn't have everything we wanted when we were younger, but there was never a moment we didn't feel our parents weren't doing everything they could.
‐‐ RJ Cyler
We didn't have lawyers and accountants. No one was watching out for our money. We'd go to the office and get money and go on our way. I was 19-20 years old then. I was stupid. I didn't know any better. We weren't getting our fair share of the money. That happens to young musicians all the time. It makes me mad when I think how stupid we were.
‐‐ Steve Jones
We didn't have money to put out everything we wanted to put out.
‐‐ Jello Biafra
We didn't have movies in this little mining town. When I was 12 my mom took me to New York and I saw Bye Bye Birdie, with people singing and dancing, and that was it.
‐‐ Margot Kidder
We didn't have much, but I was raised to believe if you had books, you had a lot. My grandfather and my parents made me and my twin brother Kiel read at least a book a week.
‐‐ Christian Scott
We didn't have much money growing up, so we hopped around L.A. a lot in the '70s, '80s and '90s. I'm very familiar with the shifting culture there.
‐‐ F. Gary Gray
We didn't have much money. My whole extended family used to help us, and buy us books and food. It was hard, and there were things I didn't want to talk about. But at the end I was a happy girl.
‐‐ Maria das Gracas Silva Foster
We didn't have our online service developed. We had never shipped a console game before as a company. So we were developing a lot of new competencies as a company and assembling a new team.
‐‐ J Allard
We didn't have practical model rockets in the '50s. The ones we made were very dangerous and the kids that played with them didn't have all their fingers, and sometimes were blind in one eye.
‐‐ Burt Rutan
We didn't have rest days or weekends because we had to get ready as fast as possible, so we could beat the Americans, who were also racing to send a woman into space.
‐‐ Valentina Tereshkova
We didn't have television in those days, and many people didn't even have radios. My mother would read aloud to my father and me in the evening.
‐‐ Beverly Cleary
We didn't have television until I was about eight years old, so it was either the movies or radio. A lot of radio drama. That was our television, you know. We had to use our imagination. So it was really those two things, and the comics, that I immersed myself in as a child.
‐‐ Jessica Hagedorn
We didn't have the lane ropes, we had to get up higher in the water to avoid the little waves.
‐‐ Johnny Weissmuller
We didn't have the phrase 'style icon' when I was young, but I have to say, I really copied Bob Dylan when I was younger: a little bit of Bob Dylan or a lot of Bob Dylan and the French symbolist poets - I liked how they dressed - and Catholic school boys.
‐‐ Patti Smith
We didn't join YouTube until late 2008 because when we first looked at it, honestly, I viewed them as a competitor. But then it grew to the point where if you wanted to be part of the conversation, you had to be on YouTube.
‐‐ Burnie Burns
We didn't just want to go out and do that whole greatest hits thing.
‐‐ Andy Taylor
We didn't know about the rest of the world. We just knew the pictures that we saw on TV, and it was so different that we wanted to try to imitate that, to a certain extent.
‐‐ Bob Livingston
We didn't know anything about comedy duos - Abbot and Costello, Martin and Lewis - we didn't know anything about that. Kim Fields showed us a tape of Martin and Lewis and their old shows and they come through the curtain so we started doing research on them.
‐‐ Kel Mitchell
We didn't know anything about Judy Murray until we met her, but once we got to know her, we found she was an absolute scream.
‐‐ Anton du Beke
We didn't know how to run a business, but we had dreams and talent.
‐‐ Ruth Handler
We didn't know if the rover could climb up or down the hills of the crater.
‐‐ Steven Squyres
We didn't know that Mother had gone through a passionate love affair or that Father suffered from severe depression. Mother was preparing to break out of her marriage, Father threatening to take his own life.
‐‐ Ingmar Bergman
We didn't know the importance of home computers before the Internet. We had them mostly for fun, then the Internet came along and was enabled by all the PCs out there.
‐‐ Burt Rutan
We didn't let a night go by that we didn't play.
‐‐ Jay McShann
We didn't lose as many lives as had been predicted although we're still in the process of finding those we lost.
‐‐ Kathleen Blanco
We didn't lose the game; we just ran out of time.
‐‐ Vince Lombardi
