I always thought I'd be the one to go first. The world might be mourning an Everly Brother, but I'm mourning my brother Phil.
‐‐ Don Everly
I always thought I'd be the quintessential Earth Mother, but when I had Harrison, I really wasn't the natural mother that I always thought I would be. I adore children, but I was never that interested in newborn babies.
‐‐ Jane Green
I always thought I'd buy my mother a house if I ever became successful - a big, beautiful house on the nicest street in town. It didn't exactly work out that way. I was still borrowing money from her in my 40s.
‐‐ Tom Shales
I always thought I'd eventually learn how to draw really well, and despite constant evidence to the contrary, I just kept on trying. If you're too good at anything, you don't have to think about the process, whereas I feel like I spend my life with my head under the bonnet, trying to understand how everything works.
‐‐ Mark Haddon
I always thought I'd go to university and then get a real job, you know. Now I want to do stuff that really makes me happy. Although I'm still trying to work out what that is. But for me there are always constants.
‐‐ Martin Henderson
I always thought I'd like my own tombstone to be blank. No epitaph, and no name. Well, actually, I'd like it to say 'figment.'
‐‐ Andy Warhol
I always thought I'd look corny in the type of rap video in the club with girls and all that type of stuff. I just didn't think I could really pull that off. We always think it's more fun and better just to go outside the box and to use our videos to show cool concepts.
‐‐ Mac Miller
I always thought I'd make a good parent, but I was single and led a solitary life for many, many years. Then I met David, and he had experience with kids and wanted to have a family, too.
‐‐ Neil Patrick Harris
I always thought I'd write when I retired - when I turned 65.
‐‐ Chuck Palahniuk
I always thought I had a problem socially, because I was pulled out of school so early. I had a tough time talking to other kids and being comfortable with them.
‐‐ Ricky Schroder
I always thought I looked kind of like Keith Richards, and sometimes I think I look like Michael Jackson in his mug shot. But as I think Keith Richards is pretty great-looking, I'm embracing that part of me.
‐‐ Natalie Massenet
I always thought I'm kind of a tough girl.
‐‐ Rene Russo
I always thought I should base how good I am on how good I feel I am.
‐‐ Neve Campbell
I always thought I should be treated like a star.
‐‐ Madonna Ciccone
I always thought I should have been a better mother.
‐‐ Donna Karan
I always thought I wanted to play professionally, and I always knew that to do that I'd have to make a lot of sacrifices. I made sacrifices by leaving Argentina, leaving my family to start a new life. I changed my friends, my people. Everything. But everything I did, I did for football, to achieve my dream.
‐‐ Lionel Messi
I always thought I was a little shy, especially compared to my brother and my sister, but I guess I was always the kid doing performances in the front room.
‐‐ Linda Cardellini
I always thought I was a pretty terrible actor.
‐‐ Flea
I always thought I was a singer, but I really am not.
‐‐ Eddie Albert
I always thought I was depressive, and I only recently realized that I have more of an anxiety disorder than chronic depression.
‐‐ Autre Ne Veut
I always thought I was doing something special with 'Lost Girl.' How that would be reflected or responded to by the fans, I hadn't really considered. That they are so loyal is amazing. We have such lovely fans.
‐‐ Kris Holden-Ried
I always thought I was going to be a dancer and then fashion kind of took over.
‐‐ Monique Lhuillier
I always thought I was going to be a great poet, and go and live in New York, where the great poets lived - you know, where Whitman had walked the streets.
‐‐ Garth Risk Hallberg
I always thought I was going to be an artist. All I ever did was draw. I only ever turned to writing because I couldn't find somebody to write the kind of stuff I wanted to do. That just spiraled out of control.
‐‐ Jonathan Hickman
I always thought I was going to die before I was 60.
‐‐ Drew Carey
I always thought I was going to end up an old spinster, with my cats and fur coats.
‐‐ Gemma Arterton
I always thought I was powerful, since I was a kid.
‐‐ Zaha Hadid
I always thought I was really thick.
‐‐ Jeremy Gilley
I always thought I was singing American folk music.
‐‐ Lonnie Donegan
I always thought I was so fit.
‐‐ Rod Stewart
I always thought I was sort of awkward and goofy-looking. I'm still kind of gangly.
‐‐ Troy Garity
I always thought I would adopt. Even when I was young, I used to look up how to adopt.
‐‐ Sharon Stone
I always thought I would be a teacher. And I think I actually lived up to my initial dreams, because what I do now is teach millions and millions of people many different kinds of things.
‐‐ Martha Stewart
I always thought I would have boys, but as a father, when your kids are born and they're healthy and happy, that's the most important thing.
‐‐ Rob Mariano
I always thought if I could just put something in words perfectly enough, people would get the idea, and it would change things. That's a harmless conceit. With people, too, you constantly think, 'If I'm nice to people and treat them well, they'll appreciate it and behave better.' They won't, but it's still not a bad way to live.
‐‐ Neil Peart
I always thought if I had a band it would have the energy and feel of early Police, since that's where my roots are, and then the harmonies of the Eagles, and the technique of King Crimson or something like that. Fast, up-tempo, beat-the-hell-out-of-the-drums, because that's my style. Energy, but sophistication, rhythmically and melodically.
‐‐ Taylor Hawkins
I always thought, if you're gonna do TV, you want to play a straight, solid, pillar-of-the-show kind of guy.
‐‐ Jake Johnson
I always thought it'd be cool to portray these certain things, make people feel a certain way. I was kind of fascinated with that, but I wasn't the type to do acting school or theater. I didn't have the best views of Hollywood, so it wasn't something that I was going to try and pursue.
‐‐ Sasha Lane
I always thought it'd be fun to go to a sci-fi convention, watch a bunch of Klingons walking around, all of that kind of stuff.
‐‐ Michael Welch
I always thought it'd be fun to write something, but it never was an ambition of mine, per se.
‐‐ Glenn Howerton
I always thought it hadn't influenced me very much, but I heard from many people from England that many motives from German fairytales are to be found in my books.
‐‐ Cornelia Funke
I always thought it was a goat that kicked me over the fence. My mama told me the other day it was a cow. Now I'm sort of scared of both.
‐‐ Kelsea Ballerini
I always thought it was funny that my grandparents had bought a ticket to New York and ended up in Glasgow.
‐‐ Peter Capaldi
I always thought it was sad that you couldn't get anything really good to eat at concerts, so we sit down with our fans before every show and eat a gourmet meal that we made for them.
‐‐ Zac Brown
I always thought it was strange when these artists like Kurt Cobain or whoever would get really famous and say, 'I don't understand why this is happening to me.' There is a mathematical formula to why you got famous. It isn't some magical thing that just started happening.
‐‐ Chad Kroeger
I always thought it would be a great thing to do an art carwash. So you can actually go and get your car washed, but while you're sitting around waiting you can walk in that hallway where you look at the cars going through the window, and that could be changing exhibitions.
‐‐ Kenny Scharf
I always thought it would be cool to go to the island of misfit toys.
‐‐ Camren Bicondova
I always thought it would be funny to have the Parents Television Council write an episode of 'Family Guy' and give them full creative control. Then see how good the episode is. That's something we've actually discussed in the writers' room. We haven't proposed it yet, but if somebody from the PTC reads this, it might be worth discussing.
‐‐ Seth MacFarlane
I always thought, it would be neat to make the Olympic team.
‐‐ Michael Phelps
I always thought it would be really cool to be playing the drums in the show and then have your astral body or whatever travel all through the audience and dig whatever it's like out there.
‐‐ Bill Kreutzmann
I always thought it would be really fun to play a villain. I feel like I haven't done that yet. Not an anti-hero, not someone who is flawed, but somebody who is just straight-up bad.
‐‐ Julia Stiles
