When I was pregnant, I felt filled with life, and I felt really happy. I ate well, and I slept well. I felt much more useful than I'd ever felt before.
‐‐ Suzanne Vega
When I was pregnant, I had the romantic idea that after the baby was born I would not only take up reading in earnest again, but also write a novel while my daughter slept in her Moses basket. Of course, I barely had time to keep up with my magazines until she started sleeping properly.
‐‐ Kate Beckinsale
When I was pregnant, I wanted to take some time off from acting, but I still needed a creative outlet for myself. My first two books were created during my pregnancies and after giving birth to my first child.
‐‐ Josie Bissett
When I was pregnant, I was like, 'I'm pregnant, so I'm allowed to eat everything: bagels with cream cheese for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and I can have pizza for dessert.'
‐‐ Lake Bell
When I was pregnant, I was so huge and people on the bus would get up for me. That made me feel so precious and valued and valuable. I try to treat everyone like they're pregnant.
‐‐ Mariska Hargitay
When I was preparing for the film for tree weeks, with David Cronenberg, I had a lady friend come over.
‐‐ John Lone
When I was prepping for my Broadway debut as Romeo, it really hit me that I had never done that. I had trained at drama school for three years in my late teens to early 20s, and I'd studied Shakespeare, of course, but I hadn't actually performed it. So to do something like Romeo for my first Broadway role was a challenge.
‐‐ Orlando Bloom
When I was presenting 'Animal Hospital,' the grey started to creep into my beard and moustache. I used my wife's mascara to darken it.
‐‐ Rolf Harris
When I was president, I announced and I still maintain that I can live with Roe v. Wade. I did everything I possibly could as president under that ruling, which I don't think ought to be changed, to minimize the need for abortions. I think every abortion is a result of a horrible series of errors on the part of people involved.
‐‐ Jimmy Carter
When I was president of the company, I said, 'Okay, I can do this - piece of cake.' Then when you are the CEO, the responsibilities multiply enormously because you worry about everything.
‐‐ Indra Nooyi
When I was probably 5 or 6, my mother put me into an acting, singing, and dancing class.
‐‐ Beau Mirchoff
When I was producing on my own, I was doing it in order to - in a very patriarchal entertainment industry, let alone planet - very much hell-bent on trying to prove to myself, if nothing else, that I could do it as a woman.
‐‐ Alanis Morissette
When I was prosecutor we had truancy and curfew issues and we made a refrigerator magnet, and that was hot with parents. They loved putting it up on the wall and saying, you know, if you don't follow these rules, you could get prosecuted. Whether or not it actually happens, it changes a culture, and that's part of what we're trying to do here.
‐‐ Amy Klobuchar
When I was put in a situation where I'm going there, you have to look at the team and the possibility that hey, we can probably do some good things over there.

When I was put up in posh hotels, I thought it was wonderful.
‐‐ Cilla Black

‐‐ James Best
When I was quite young, I dreamed of being a painter.
‐‐ James Gray
When I was quite young, she was working in a hardware store, so I grew up knowing about hardware.
‐‐ Elizabeth Moon
When I was racing, I had learned that you can't set stock in public adoration or your press clippings. By the time I was 26, I'd heard crowds of 100,000 scream my name, but a week later they couldn't remember who I was. You're a hero today and a bum tomorrow - hero to zero, I sometimes say.
‐‐ Eddie Rickenbacker
When I was reading books for 'Seesaw Girl,' I came across several references to the fact that in the 11th and 12th centuries, Korean pottery was considered the finest in the world. I liked that - the idea of a little tiny country being the best at something.
‐‐ Linda Sue Park
When I was real young I wanted to play baseball. I really loved playing center field, but that was never anything I was really ever that good at. I played up until I was in ninth grade.

When I was really little, I loved Whitney Houston. I thought she was the prettiest thing in the world.
‐‐ Valerie June
When I was really little, I wanted to be a taxi driver or a bus driver; I loved the fact that I could play my own music when I wanted. But I can't imagine actually doing that now; I think I'd get bored.
‐‐ Eliza Doolittle
When I was really little, I was on a Pop Warner squad. I did it for a year. My dad was a Pop Warner football coach. I did it because my best friend was also on this cheer squad, and of course I looked up to my sister who was a cheerleader, so I wanted to cheer.
‐‐ Ashley Tisdale
When I was really little I would sit in the back of my dad's car when he'd be playing old-school music. He'd turn down the music and turn around and I'd be singing and know all of the words but I didn't even know how to talk. From then on I've always wanted to be a singer.
‐‐ Leona Lewis
When I was really little, it was very clear to me that I felt like a boy, and my friends were all boys.
‐‐ Chaz Bono
When I was really little, my favorite book was 'The BFG'. I read it - my teacher in, like, first grade read it to us. I love that book.
‐‐ Madison Pettis
When I was really small, my mother had difficulty keeping me dressed, as I liked to be naked! I definitely had very strong ideas on what I wanted to wear. My favourite look was always Action Man and Spiderman. Now though, I really like beautiful clothes.
‐‐ Cara Delevingne
When I was really young, Dad wasn't that well known. I don't remember when I realised he was a writer, but I do remember him leaving his full-time job at the Central Electrical Generating Board to concentrate on books.
‐‐ Rhianna Pratchett
When I was really young, I can remember being into fashion, but I was really into horses and sports.
‐‐ Kendall Jenner
When I was really young I didn't know that there was such a thing as a screenwriter. I wrote stories.
‐‐ John Sayles
When I was really young, I got moonstruck by 'Moonstruck.'
‐‐ Violante Placido
When I was really young, I loved the movie 'White Christmas' - I still do - and I thought Rosemary Clooney was so pretty. When I was, like, nine, I would tell people, 'You know who I kind of look like? Rosemary Clooney.'
‐‐ Tina Fey
When I was really young, I shot a lot with my Super 8.
‐‐ Danny Huston
When I was really young, I used to lie a lot. Now I get paid to do it.
‐‐ Diego Luna
When I was really young, I wanted to be a history teacher because I was obsessed with the past.
‐‐ Russell Tovey
When I was really young, I wanted to grow up and be the sun. Which shows an early penchant for ambition or narcissism or grandiosity or delusion - all of which are bellwethers for becoming a writer.
‐‐ Gayle Forman
When I was really young, my mom enrolled me in dance classes.
‐‐ Jeff Bridges
When I was really young, my mum used to make my clothes - I hated that. I liked the way boys dressed - I still do. I wanted to wear what they wore.
‐‐ Alison Mosshart
When I was really young. My sister and I would create different characters with our Barbie dolls - I'd be the crazy diva Barbie and she'd be the homeless Barbie.
‐‐ Jordana Brewster
When I was really young, the women's national team wasn't on a grand media stage, so my role models were male basketball and male American football players.
‐‐ Abby Wambach
When I was recording from '70 to '82, I always played piano and laid the tracks down. But I used to talk to the other musicians while the track was playing.

When I was recording music, I'd record all the parts myself, and I wouldn't let other people in; that's essentially what Blood Orange is the result of; me trying to find the most comfortable I can be with everything.
‐‐ Dev Hynes
When I was recording my first solo album 'Imaginaryland,' I was listening to a lot of movie scores.
‐‐ Petra Haden
When I was releasing EPs by myself, I was generating royalties. And when I signed, I thought I'd put those royalties into other artists. And interestingly, streaming is most of the income for those artists.
‐‐ Gabrielle Aplin
When I was researching the Victorian anti-vaccination movement, those activists often used a vampire as a metaphor for the vaccinator.
‐‐ Eula Biss
When I was right out of college, I felt competitive with some of the guys in my class over career stuff. It's funny now to think about it - that a friend getting a job or something had anything to do with me... I think that my relationship with my wife has played a pivotal role in the chilling out of Aaron.
‐‐ Aaron Staton
When I was rising eighteen I persuaded my parents to let me return to Australia and at least see whether I could adapt myself to life on the land before going up to Cambridge.
