When we first sold the Wallace and Gromit shorts to America, people suggested we get rid of the strange British accents and put clear American voices on them, and we held out.

When we first sort of break in or bust into the house, if you will, there's some tough love.
‐‐ Thom Filicia
When we first started, everything was animated, everything was comedy, and there was really nothing that was longer than about two minutes, because that's all audiences would watch.
‐‐ Burnie Burns
When we first started Glitch, there were four co-founders of the company. We built Flickr and worked together at Yahoo and then started Tiny Speck. We were split in Vancouver, New York, and San Francisco. So we used an old chat technology called IRC. Almost nothing went through email.

When we first started in Huntington Recreation with John Capobianco, we put four kids in the Golden Gloves finals. We didn't even have a ring. We trained at Stimson Junior High School. They give us the gym three nights a week. We used to box in the gym - no ring, just on the gym floor.
‐‐ Gerry Cooney
When we first started making videos, we didn't have a boom mic, so we had to talk really loud. And then we got a boom mic and were like, 'Wow, we're shouting,' and had to learn to bring it back.
‐‐ Anthony Padilla
When we first started playing we did a lot of rehearsing. We used to write out everything. In fact, that's the way everybody rehearses: we play the tunes and improvise.
‐‐ Charlie Haden
When we first started recording, it was before rock, so people thought we were hillbilly hicks. That was something we had to deal with; the girls didn't think we were cool, although they did a few years later. We had ducktails and wore peg-leg pants. We looked like rock n' rollers.
‐‐ Phil Everly
When we first started 'The Big Bang Theory,' I would get incredibly nervous because it's such a big show and I was just out of graduate school. I'd come in and have this huge responsibility for the one line that everyone hopes will bring down the house.
‐‐ Kunal Nayyar
When we first started the company, I didn't have any thoughts of franchising. We just had company-owned stores.
‐‐ Fred DeLuca
When we first started, we were a band from Athens and that was so off the map.
‐‐ Michael Stipe
When we first went there we completely lacked confidence. Our manager told us our act was too long, and told us to drop certain numbers and concentrate on the exciting stuff. And he was right.
‐‐ Steve Marriott
When we fled from the oppressions of kings and parliaments in Europe, to found this great Republic in America, we brought with us the laws and the liberties, which formed a part of our heritage as Britons.
‐‐ Caleb Cushing
When we focus on our gratitude, the tide of disappointment goes out and the tide of love rushes in.
‐‐ Kristin Armstrong
When we focus on our pain, our ache deepens.
‐‐ Kristin Armstrong
When we forgive evil we do not excuse it, we do not tolerate it, we do not smother it. We look the evil full in the face, call it what it is, let its horror shock and stun and enrage us, and only then do we forgive it.
‐‐ Lewis B. Smedes
When we foster an economy without hope, we guarantee that a segment of our population will be destined to know homelessness on a permanent basis, and not for the one night I voluntarily spent at a shelter.
‐‐ Jackie Speier
When we founded Facebook, we put a lot of hours into it and worked hard every day. 'The Social Network' painted this picture that we were partying all the time, when really we only attended 2 or 3 parties during Facebook's first year.
‐‐ Dustin Moskovitz
When we get a chance to take part in elections, I am ready to fight for leading positions, including in the presidential vote.
‐‐ Alexei Navalny
When we get christened or married or die, we drift naturally in the direction of the church. And in moments of crisis, when our spiritual Tom-Tom is no longer telling us what to do, we find ourselves scrabbling at the vicarage door.
‐‐ Tom Hollander
When we get government off the backs of our job creators, small businesses have a better chance of thriving. And when small businesses thrive, so does our economy.
‐‐ Ann Wagner
When we get in a routine we can become zombie-like and shut down.
‐‐ Tori Amos
When we get in late and the only thing open is fast food, it can be tough to maintain a healthy diet.
‐‐ Mike Trout
When we get people to log in, they end up using Quora a lot more, and we can provide a lot better experience for them. We can show them a personalized news feed; we can send them digest emails and do all this ranking to find some stuff they want to read.
‐‐ Adam D'Angelo
When we get piled upon one another in large cities, as in Europe, we shall become as corrupt as Europe.
‐‐ Thomas Jefferson
When we get the final hardware, the performance is just going to skyrocket.
‐‐ J Allard
When we get the private sector going through job creation and growth, then the governments at all level have revenues to do the things that they need to do. And that's why it's so important to get this economy moving, to get jobs created. We can't keep going on with this anemic recovery.
‐‐ Jim Talent
When we get there, if we don't find any life on Mars, from that point on there will be life on Mars because we'll bring it there, whether it's germs and leftover urine bags, whatever it is.
‐‐ Buzz Aldrin
When we get to what happens when we die, we don't have any video footage. So let's at least be honest that we are speculating, because we are.
‐‐ Rob Bell
When we get to wishing a great deal for ourselves, whatever we get soon turns into mere limitation and exclusion.
‐‐ George Eliot
When we get together and rehearse, which is always living with each other, we always talk about what would make it better, what would mean more, what would say more. So we're always improving and growing.
‐‐ Alice Cooper
When we give a subsidy, the benefits to the public ought to exceed the benefits to the company. When it doesn't, that's our definition of corporate welfare.
‐‐ John Kasich
When we give ourselves the chance to let go of all our tension, the body's natural capacity to heal itself can begin to work.
‐‐ Nhat Hanh
When we go out in the world together, we don't get beat down.
‐‐ Carolyn Chute
When we go out to the country and just sit there, what we're really doing is just switching off various kinds of alertness that we don't have to use. When we do that, we are stopping being defensive. We are no longer shutting ourselves off from different types of experiences, we are welcoming them in.
‐‐ Brian Eno
When we go out to the university, the professors always say, 'Tell these students about your five-year plan and your 10-year plan,' and I say, 'Gee, we're lucky if we have a year plan.'
‐‐ Bruce Nordstrom
When we go somewhere in New York, I'm known as Mr. Savini.
‐‐ Jimmy Webb
When we go somewhere, my dad will start shouting my name very loudly. He'll yell, 'Oh, my God, it's Sara Sampaio!' My brother does the same.
‐‐ Sara Sampaio
When we go to a restaurant, they don't ask, 'Do you want the asbestos section or the non-asbestos section?' They do ask, 'Do you want smoking or nonsmoking?'
‐‐ John Roberts
When we go to Congress, there are strict rules about what I can be involved with and what I can't be involved with when it comes to business relationships and business operations.
‐‐ Tom Reed
When we go to court, they are going to have to come up with all the evidence where they are accusing me and my dedicated deputies of racial profiling. It's always easy to throw the race card in there and that's what they're doing in Washington today, that they're concerned about racial profiling.
‐‐ Joe Arpaio
When we go to explore, we do it as a globe.
‐‐ Ellen Stofan
When we go to play, you flip around and flash around and everything, and then they're not gonna see nothin' but what their eyes see. Forget about their ears.
‐‐ Jimi Hendrix
When we go to see comedians or funny movies, they don't address the wall behind them; they face us. This is why a game's first job is to entertain through gameplay and secondarily through humor, drama, or other traditional entertainment devices. The humor has to be a gentleman. I mean, it needs to be squeezed in around the game.
‐‐ Doug TenNapel
When we go to the Bible we should keep in mind that the basic principles of the Bible are taught by God, but written down by human beings deprived of modern day knowledge. So there is some fallibility in the writings of the Bible. But the basic principles are applicable to my life and I don't find any conflict among them.
‐‐ Jimmy Carter
When we go to the store, we bring home more than food - we bring home traces of broader environmental problems. But we can use our shopping carts and dinner plates to help solve some of those problems.
‐‐ Frances Beinecke
When we go to war I will not ask the White Racist next to me what is he Christian or Atheist? I will only expect him or her to kill the enemy as I will.
‐‐ Tom Metzger
When we go to war, our politicians will be guided by our popular will. And if we believe that torture 'got' bin Laden, then we will be more prone to accept the view that a good 'end' can justify brutal 'means.'
‐‐ Alex Gibney
When we got back to the U.S., I wanted to kiss the ground after seeing what people in other countries are denied or don't have.
