When I grew up we had gym at school, two or three dance classes after school, ice skating lessons, and all sorts of sports at our finger tips. We weren't glued to computers because they didn't exist, so being active was all we knew.

When I grew up, what was interesting for me was that music was color and life was gray. So music for me has always been more than entertainment.
‐‐ Pete Townshend
When I grew up, you needed to have straight hair. It's symbolic of needing to be like everyone else, needing to look like everyone else. And what that meant was looking like the dominant ruling class in America.
‐‐ Anne Roiphe
When I grow older and less popular, there will come a time when I have to shoot films on low budgets.
‐‐ Park Chan-wook

‐‐ Morley Safer
When I had a child, everyone was telling me that I was going to see the world through her eyes, and everything was going to get this nice gloss to it. I kept waiting for that to happen, and thought there was a real problem with me that it wasn't.
‐‐ Eddie Vedder
When I had a fellowship at the Smithsonian, I asked for a couch in the office because I liked to lie down and take a break.
‐‐ Gloria Steinem
When I had a full-time job, I really wasn't that busy, but now I'm really busy. I guess that's a good thing.
‐‐ Chris Moneymaker
When I had a job catering, I catered a wedding for the Smashing Pumpkins bassist in Indiana. And I served Billy Corgan shrimp off a tray.
‐‐ Amy Poehler
When I had a kid and I went through my drama and situation, I respected my father more because it kinda made me understand what he went through with me.
‐‐ French Montana
When I had a record deal in the '90s, that was my dream - to make an album like Barbra Streisand's Broadway album - and they laughed me out of the room. Broadway wasn't cool. But artists like Michael Buble and Josh Groban have brought the classic genre back to the forefront, so I'm trying to find my way inside that market.
‐‐ Billy Porter
When I had bone cancer, I was just 11 years old. I think my parents suffered a lot because they worried about my health, my life, so much. For me, it was quite bad feeling during the treatment. But I quite enjoyed staying in the hospital because so many kids played with me.
‐‐ Yu Chui Yee
When I had cancer - of the colon first, followed by breast cancer and a mastectomy - my motto used to be 'Drips by day, Prada by night.' I felt that I had to grasp it in the same way as you'd take on any challenge.
‐‐ Sam Taylor-Wood
When I had cancer, people were surprised at how cheerful and upbeat I was, but I couldn't let myself go to depression - to go there, that defeat would allow everything in. If you look too far into the abyss, you might never come out again. You can stand on the abyss and peep but not give in to sadness.
‐‐ Sam Taylor-Johnson
When I had challenges, it taught me to be more on top of it for the future. Things go wrong all the time when you're running your own business, but it's how you perceive it and deal with it that matters.
‐‐ Lori Greiner
When I had dark hair I definitely felt that I was more anonymous.
‐‐ Naomi Watts
When I had jobs, I was always doing manual jobs because I couldn't think. I worked at the docks, unloading trucks, and did ridiculous jobs.
‐‐ Dito Montiel
When I had made more money than I needed for myself and my family, I set up a foundation to promote the values and principles of a free and open society.
‐‐ George Soros
When I had Mason, I was really ready to leave the business of acting, but still wanted to do work that I could control.
‐‐ Josie Bissett
When I had money, I felt pressure, whether it was to invest it or do good with it, and I couldn't let it fizzle out. It was like I needed to prove to myself that I could look after it, only I did the opposite, but you have to take a chance in life.
‐‐ Shane Filan
When I had money in the past, I would always travel rather than spend it on big apartments or cars. And I still feel exactly the same way.
‐‐ Robin Wright
When I had my cancer, the chemotherapy took my hair away. So then I decided I would just keep it short, and this is my signature now. The great thing about it is that I am a bit of a chameleon, so you can put a wig on me and I look totally different.
‐‐ Anthony Warlow
When I had my child, I planned on being with the woman I had him with for the rest of my life. If that doesn't work out, you have to see things from a different perspective.
‐‐ Corey Feldman
When I had my daughter, Louisanna, two and a half years ago, I started recording every funny or sweet thing she said or did on my phone.
‐‐ Leelee Sobieski
When I had my daughter, my priorities shifted. Being in the world of fashion you have to be very self-absorbed and surrounded by people that are self-absorbed.
‐‐ Carolyn Murphy
When I had my first boy it all started and that male energy seemed to keep me awake but since my daughter, who's incredibly serene, I can't seem to stop sleeping because she's asleep all the time. It's a pattern.
‐‐ Sadie Frost
When I had my first camera - I was a child of the '80s. I remember what it was like reusing the same tapes over and over again, and having really bad quality and images kind of bubbling up from under the surface.
‐‐ Harmony Korine
When I had my first child, I started to try and make fresh food for him daily, and I became frustrated with the amount of work - and time - involved in making baby food at home.
‐‐ Camila Alves
When I had my first experiences of choral singing, the dissonance of those close harmonies was so exquisite that I would giggle or I would tear up, and I felt it in a physical way.
‐‐ Eric Whitacre
When I had my first gig, I was 18 in January in 2007. My first gig that I got paid, I was playing for 10 people in a 250 people capacity venue. The promoter wanted to book me because he liked my music. I played a couple of songs that made people dance. To me, that rush has always stayed the same.
‐‐ Afrojack
When I had my first voice lesson I was 15 years old. And I had a really good teacher. This is what made all the difference. A good teacher will teach you the technique, but also how to listen to your voice.
‐‐ Cecilia Bartoli
When I had my kids, I took a lot of homeopathic things, and I had them both with no painkillers.
‐‐ Jasmine Guinness
When I had my television show, 'Barbara Mandrell and the Mandrell Sisters,' it was my high hope to convert people to country music. It is wonderful and contagious!
‐‐ Barbara Mandrell
When I had my wreck, it really just put everything into perspective and really opened my eyes. I've always been one of those guys that thought 'it will never happen to me.'
‐‐ Brantley Gilbert
When I had no shoes I was comfortable - I used to run barefoot. When I wore shoes it was difficult. To run in shoes was ok, but at the beginning of my career it was hard.
‐‐ Haile Gebrselassie
When I had nothing else, I had my mother and the piano. And you know what? They were all I needed.
‐‐ Alicia Keys
When I had people scratchin' my shorts a bit, it played better. We lost a bit of that in all the personnel changes and it's an element we need to get back.
‐‐ Tom Bergeron
When I had photographed Prince William's mother, I brought along a CD of Dalida, a French singer, that we played on set all day to relax everyone. I decided to do the same thing for Catherine and William. The contrast of the contemporary informal music playing in the beautiful rooms with so much history caused a lot of laughter.
‐‐ Mario Testino
When I had the idea for 'Shopaholic', it was as though a light switched on. I realised I actually wanted to write comedy. No apologies, no trying to be serious, just full-on entertainment. The minute I went with that and threw myself into it, it felt just like writing my first book again - it was really liberating.
‐‐ Sophie Kinsella
When I had the wonderful occasion to play a goofball, Jane, in 'Coupling,' it was definitely an homage to Julia Louis-Dreyfus, who I just think is a genius.
‐‐ Gina Bellman
When I had to bury my child, I probably didn't start grieving until a year and a half later.
‐‐ Lamar Odom
When I happened to get into school, I felt like I could approach it as aggressively as things in the military.
‐‐ Adam Driver
When I have a bad day, I dream about opening up a gelato stand on the streets of Sydney, Australia. Doesn't everyone have a random escape fantasy?
‐‐ Nancy Lublin
When I have a big enough handbag to carry a little pair of booties with, I always do - those pointy Christian Louboutin heels are just no fun to walk around in.
‐‐ Anna Kendrick
When I have a book I enjoy, I'm partly in the book. I'm not just observing it.
