Being in a multicultural environment in childhood is going to give you intuition, reflexes and instincts. You may acquire basic responsiveness later on, but it's never going to be as spontaneous as when you have been bathing in this environment during childhood.

Being in a person's head for five months, where they're so hateful, is kind of exhausting.
‐‐ James Norton
Being in a recording studio is a very different feel from performing onstage. I mean, obviously, you can't just go in and do what you would do onstage. It reads differently.

Being in a relationship grounds you. You feel a sense of home.
‐‐ Jonathan Knight
Being in a relationship is a hard, painful slog at least once a week, maybe more often - especially if you have a lot of defenses to let down, or if your parents didn't know how to love you very well.
‐‐ Tracy McMillan
Being in a rock band is about touring. It's about writing songs and it's about making records but it's also about taking a wonderful smile onto that stage and making the people feel good about themselves.
‐‐ James Young
Being in a rock n' roll and pop world, it's very easy to act like a kid.
‐‐ Joey McIntyre
Being in a rock n' roll band was like being in a Sherman tank. Nothing got to you. You were surrounded and protected by men.
‐‐ Grace Slick
Being in a scenario where you're thinking, 'I can't do what I want to do due to the financial burden that comes with some of it,' makes you think, 'Well, I could go and do an after-dinner speech every night.' I'd probably earn more than I could in track-and-field. But that's a dangerous scenario to get yourself into.

Being in a ship is being in a jail, with the chance of being drowned.
‐‐ Samuel Johnson
Being in a space that's not a studio, it kind of creates an openness of 'We can do whatever we want here; we're not on the clock.'
‐‐ Lia Ices
Being in a successful marriage is no different than being cast in a successful movie. It's all about who you pick; in that first moment, did you pick the right person? I think you need to pick somebody who's more interested in being married than in getting married.
‐‐ Rob Lowe
Being in a wheelchair for 30 years. I'm not whining about it because I don't dwell on things I can't do anything about, you know. I never really think about until somebody mentions it. I did take a bullet.
‐‐ Larry Flynt
Being in all of my relationships, I'm even more confused than I've ever been, I don't know if you ever really understand relationships.
‐‐ Jamie Kennedy
Being in America isn't old-hat - it's where we're from - but I get excited to be in other parts of the world like Athens and Croatia, which were quite cool. I'm a sightseer. I go see the sights and museums. I'm into that kind of thing.
‐‐ Richie Sambora
Being in an area of the planet where scientists believe mankind started is quite amazing.
‐‐ Jan de Bont
Being in Australia, I was really sun conscious. For a couple of summers there, I did the baby oil thing, and my my mom said, 'Just don't. You'll regret it.'
‐‐ Cate Blanchett
Being in ballet class, being on the stage, being surrounded by my peers at American Ballet Theater every day, keeps me so humble and grounded. Being in ballet class, I feel, is like this meditation for me every morning.

Being in Blur has allowed me to travel and hear the music that's being made all over the world.
‐‐ Damon Albarn
Being in construction my whole life - I was trained as an architect - I always had to work with guys. And I always did my homework and then challenged them to figure it out faster than me. They don't want to be shown up by a woman.
‐‐ Catherine Hardwicke
Being in control of your life and having realistic expectations about your day-to-day challenges are the keys to stress management, which is perhaps the most important ingredient to living a happy, healthy and rewarding life.

Being in 'Coronation Street' is only going to make me a better actor.
‐‐ Rob James-Collier
Being in 'Doctor Who' has been so amazing. I don't think I will ever have a job quite so fun ever again. I feel sad because I am going to leave, but with any story, it has to come to an end.

Being in drag for three months - I now have an idea of what women go through. At least maybe a little.
‐‐ Michael Rosenbaum
Being in front of a camera, in a nice dress, getting all dressed up, is extreme. There's a lot of other extreme situations, you know, just getting out of bed sometimes is extreme - but I do it. Just got to do it, just got to get up. Put your sweatpants on, brush off the dog hair and just get out of the house!
‐‐ Sandra Bullock
Being in front of all these people staring at you and it helps you to dig down and become more emotional and get lost in it as you're feeding on people's energy.
‐‐ Fred Durst
Being in front of the camera was like coming home. The first time I saw myself on the big screen, it was in a trailer for 'The New Guy', and I just started screaming.
‐‐ Sunny Mabrey
Being in front of the camera, you never got to see the whole process from the conception of the script all the way through to the filming process.
‐‐ Justin Berfield
Being in good physical shape is the best way to combat depression. You just have endorphins running around your body. It is the best anti-depressive that there is.
‐‐ Chris Pratt
Being in Harlem on the night of Barack Obama's election was extraordinary. It was the best street party I have ever gone to, and it felt like the period of American history which began with slavery had ended that evening.
‐‐ Hari Kunzru
Being in Hawaii, it's almost impossible not to be fit, I think.
‐‐ Henry Ian Cusick
Being in Hollywood and having a love for Christ is hard. I mean, it's hard anywhere because Jesus is about the Upside Down Kingdom. You know, serve instead of being served, go last and don't try to be first.
‐‐ Shane Harper
Being in Hollywood is like being in the Christian right these days.
‐‐ Rupert Everett
Being in jail, it's humbled me in a way I never imagined.

Being in Jamaica, I feel comfortable there.
‐‐ Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce
Being in L.A. has definitely given me the opportunity to experience how my music sounds in real life because I can drive around and listen to the mixes, which I couldn't do in New York. I get to feel how a song works in combination with a sunset and a drive through the mountains.
‐‐ Dave Sitek
Being in L.A. is great because there are so many weird people out there, so you can just blend in. I like that.
‐‐ Dhani Harrison
Being in L.A., it was really hard to find a country writer and producer. I eventually - years of searching - found this guy, Dan Franklin. He's an incredible musician and producer. We write so well together... It's been a really cool experience.
‐‐ Sasha Pieterse
Being in Los Angeles is this brutal awakening, where I feel not good enough as soon as I walk into a room, and I'm wearing the wrong thing, or I don't have enough make up on. It's all about image.
‐‐ Mary Lambert
Being in love, and I'm not an expert in this, I've lived it as much as anyone has, but I've not dissected it.
‐‐ Eric Braeden
Being in love is not cool!

‐‐ Olivia Newton-John
Being in love is the only transcendent experience.
‐‐ Armistead Maupin
Being in love was like China: you knew it was there, and no doubt it was very interesting, and some people went there, but I never would. I'd spend all my life without ever going to China, but it wouldn't matter, because there was all the rest of the world to visit.
‐‐ Philip Pullman
Being in love with somebody is a wonderful feeling.
‐‐ Shane Warne
Being in Loyola College exposed me to other options and gave me confidence, apart from the freedom to bunk classes. I became a merchandiser and then a garment manufacturer, and interacting with foreign buyers and manufacturing foreign brands in India gave me a high.
‐‐ Suriya
Being in meetings - that feels like work. But finding candy, being in the store - that's fun, and it drives me.
‐‐ Dylan Lauren
Being in music forever, I have good pitch, so I know when I'm singing in or out of tune. But the key to really good singing is just relaxing and thinking about what the song is.
