We were raised with that discussion about violence and non-violence, and we all pretty much came up on the side of non-violence. That became my foundation with politics and my livelihood.
‐‐ Joan Baez
We were raised without movies, theater or music. We had only nature, the hills, the trees. When I got on the set of 'Manon,' I wasn't star-struck because I didn't know what a star was.
‐‐ Emmanuelle Beart
We were ready to launch Barry White, but the record company wouldn't put it out. Said it wouldn't sell.
‐‐ Barry White
We were really grown up for our age and it was an incredible special band.
‐‐ Joan Jett
We were really interested in music from all over the world. We realized that what we were doing was very close to contemporary classical music because of the lack of tonality in the guitar- the fact that I play guitar the way I play.
‐‐ Arto Lindsay
We were really motivated to do something with this record overseas, even though I hate touring.
‐‐ Daniel Johns
We were reminded first-hand of the work that still needs to be done in Iraq on the security front when insurgents fired five rounds into the base while we were still meeting with the nurses.
‐‐ Jon Porter
We were right about the slush fund. But Sloan did not testify about it to the Grand Jury.
‐‐ Ben Bradlee
We were saving, saving, saving then going to France and blowing the money eating. She was a nurse and had never experienced fine dining but she loved it, too. Our mates thought it absurd.
‐‐ Heston Blumenthal
We were sent here to hold government accountable.
‐‐ Paul Gosar
We were sent to this country by the President, who desires to promote the welfare of Japan, and are quite different from the ambassadors of other countries.
‐‐ Townsend Harris
We were sharecroppers - we were a little bit of everything. We farmed and tried to make something.
‐‐ Buck Owens
We were signed to a label that wanted us to remain little girls who appealed to other little girls, who were cute and non-threatening.
‐‐ Siobhan Fahey
We were sitting on the bus one day and there were 5 of us hanging out. There was only one beer left in the cooler and we actually all took a little cup and split it. It was a pathetic day in a rock and roll when five grown men have to be sitting there sharing a beer.
‐‐ Zakk Wylde
We were so bad last year, the cheerleaders stayed home and phoned in the cheers.
‐‐ Pat Williams
We were so busy that right before we recorded the follow-up single to 'Lovin' Feelin'' I had a nervous breakdown. I just folded. I had to stay in bed for a couple of months and rest.
‐‐ Bill Medley
We were so far back in the woods, they almost had to pipe in sunlight.
‐‐ Roy Rogers
We were so fundamental that almost everything had been stripped away from the place of worship. Think of the role words can play, when all other enticements and sensual attractions are gone.
‐‐ James D. Houston
We were so hungry for 'Sex and the City' that even though it was heightened and written by gay men, we just needed to see different women on television. Give us another movie.
‐‐ Beth Littleford
We were so poor as kids. I didn't even see a bathtub, running water, hot water, commode - we didn't have any of that. We started with a humble log house, milk cow, garden-raised our own food, killed a hog every year in the fall, and had the meat hanging up in the smokehouse - that was our childhood, me and ol' Si.
‐‐ Phil Robertson
We were so poor that my mother would often leave me in a foster home until she could raise enough money to rent rooms for us.
‐‐ Carmen Dell'Orefice
We were so poor when I was a kid that I had a sister who was stamped, 'Made In Japan.'
‐‐ Pete Rose
We were so shocked by how fast that war went that President Bush did not have a plan, a peace plan.
‐‐ Geraldine Ferraro
We were soon free of the woods and bushes, and fairly upon the broad prairie.
‐‐ Francis Parkman
We were spending American blood and treasure to liberate the people of Afghanistan from one of the most brutal regimes on the face of the earth. That we would not use that moment to press for women's rights seems to me unthinkable.
‐‐ Condoleezza Rice
We were starting to lose track with Earth because fame and success brings you many things that you're not really prepared for or know how to deal with as a human being.
‐‐ Paul Simonon
We were studying at Newport Film School, and I found that the only way for me to make films - because you need people and you need equipment - was that I had to be a student.
‐‐ Asif Kapadia
We were suddenly faced with the necessity of training a lot of young men in the art of navigation.
‐‐ Clyde Tombaugh
We were surprised that the television series had the kind of longevity that it had after only four years of filming it and the reception in 6 countries around the world was quite extraordinary.
‐‐ Paul Michael Glaser
We were sweet, lovely people who wanted to throw out all the staid institutions who placed money and wars above all else. When you're young you think that's how life works.
‐‐ Margot Kidder
We were taking some photos one day in front of one of these old antebellum homes, and one of us said the word. And we all kind of stopped and said, 'That could be a name!' ... It just feels kind of country and nostalgic.
‐‐ Dave Haywood
We were talking about the kissing in the movie just recently. Clearly, it's pretty challenging material, but Ang said two men herding sheep was far more sexual than two men having sex on screen.
‐‐ Jake Gyllenhaal
We were talking about the space between us all and the people who hide themselves behind a wall of illusion. Never glimpse the truth - then it's far too late when they pass away.
‐‐ George Harrison
We were taught in school, and I was taught at home and in church, that blacks and whites were equal and we should not discriminate based on skin color, even if my school was almost entirely white.
‐‐ Kevin DeYoung
We were taught manners and we had to do our chores - Katie and I grew up as normal kids.
‐‐ Oliver Hudson
We were taught to think that Paris was the center of the universe.
‐‐ Etel Adnan
We were telling everybody we weren't getting back together when we were in the studio actually recording. We wanted to try it on, to see how it would fit.
‐‐ Nikki Sixx
We were the best team in the world: European champions in 1984, we qualified without a hitch and 86 was to be the swan song for a very experienced side.
‐‐ Michel Patini
We were the finest. We were the best in the world. We were a department that people came from all over the world to study, to look at, to see how we accomplished so much with so little; and we did.
‐‐ Daryl Gates
We were the first multibrand platform for the customization of designer clothing. And it's great to be a first mover if you manage to pull it off. You can have a great competitive advantage. But if you're quite early, you're learning a lot: both learning as a company, and the customer is still learning.
‐‐ Aslaug Magnusdottir
We were the first people to do advertising on the Web. I actually saw in 1993 that the ad could be the content, the destination.
‐‐ Tim O'Reilly
We were the first people who did investigative stuff, who asked occasionally abrasive, occasionally confrontational questions.
‐‐ Mike Wallace
We were the first small American jazz group since Sidney Bechet in 1927 to play for the public in Moscow and Leningrad.
‐‐ Paul Horn
We were the first urban school system in the country to wire all of our schools for the Internet.
‐‐ Thomas Menino
We were the group that built the roads by day that the Vietcong traveled at night.
‐‐ Rodney Frelinghuysen
We were the guys on the other side. It was hilarious.
‐‐ David Steinberg
We were the laughingstock of that first season... It was with great relish several years later that I received a TV Guide award for favorite actress on television.
‐‐ Roma Downey
'We Were the Mulvaneys' is perhaps the novel closest to my heart. I think of it as a valentine to a passing way of American life, and to my own particular child - and girlhood in upstate New York. Everyone in the novel is enormously close to me, including Marianne's cat, Muffin, who was in fact my own cat.
‐‐ Joyce Carol Oates
We were the only black family in an estate with 1,000 white families. Liverpool being quite racist in the Sixties, it was a bit grim growing up.
‐‐ Craig Charles
We were the only black family in my neighborhood for many years. Wherever we lived, we were often the only black family, and certainly the only Haitian family. But my parents were really great at providing a loving home where we could feel safe and secure.
‐‐ Roxane Gay
