I came to acting quite late. I tried not to be an actor.
‐‐ Tom Cullen
I came to all the realizations about sustainability and biodiversity because I fell in love with the way food tastes. That was it. And because I was looking for that taste I feel at the doorsteps of the organic, local, sustainable farmers, dairy people and fisherman.
‐‐ Alice Waters
I came to America, and I made good. It's an old story, but it hasn't been told in a long time. Usually, it's, 'I'm an immigrant, I came here and got persecuted.' My story is I came here, I worked hard, and it worked out all right. So it's still available.
‐‐ Craig Ferguson
I came to America at such a young age, and I was so naive that I didn't realise what I was getting myself into; maybe that's why it worked out for me.
‐‐ Claire Holt
I came to America at the age of 17 as an exchange student, and a year later, I was a student at Dartmouth. I would say that the rather weak foundation of my Christianity was effectively battered at Dartmouth. I've had mostly a secular career. But I became intellectually interested in Christianity again in my mid-30s.
‐‐ Dinesh D'Souza
I came to America because this is a country defined by ladders of opportunity.
‐‐ Dinesh D'Souza
I came to America from Canada because Canada is stultifyingly boring and incredibly hypocritical.
‐‐ Shane Smith
I came to America to become an architect. And somewhere along the line while I was still in school, I was lured into theater, and that's how I became interested in theater. My first play was something called 'A Banquet for the Moon.' It was a weird play.
‐‐ Mako
I came to America to make it my home, and I did.
‐‐ Yakov Smirnoff
I came to America to teach my method - not to enter a research experiment.
‐‐ Elizabeth Kenny
I came to America with a dream and I made it. The dream became reality. America is built for success.
‐‐ Jean-Claude Van Damme
I came to architecture from building. Because my father was a builder, everybody was - and is - a builder in my family.
‐‐ Renzo Piano
I came to Baku the same way I would go to Texas - because they asked me to come and play hip hop.
‐‐ Coolio
I came to believe that my true identity goes beyond the outer roles I play. It transcends the ego. I came to understand that there is an Authentic 'I' within - an 'I Am,' or divine spark within the soul.
‐‐ Sue Monk Kidd
I came to Berlin not to visit its museums and galleries, its operas, its theaters... but for the sake of seeing and speaking with the world's greatest living man - Alexander von Humboldt.
‐‐ Bayard Taylor
I came to Broadway through Indiana University.
‐‐ Colin Donnell
I came to California and got signed at a young age. And it's not like you see in the movies, where you start rubbing shoulders with Timbaland and Pharrell, and you become a giant pop star.
‐‐ Bruno Mars
I came to China to follow my star and to steep myself in the raw regions of the universe.
‐‐ Pierre Teilhard de Chardin
I came to Christ in my early 20s.

‐‐ Jane Goldman
I came to Congress to help reduce spending.
‐‐ Dave Reichert
I came to declare that I am a friend to Arabs, at a time when it is not easy to be friend to Arabs, because nowadays those who have ambitions and interests would not befriend Arab.
‐‐ George Galloway
I came to dedicate my life to opening space to the average person and crafting designs for new spaceships that could take us far from home. But since Apollo ended, such travels were only in our collective memory.
‐‐ Buzz Aldrin
I came to England in 1962 as a very young bride, in my teens, hoping just to stay two years and go back.
‐‐ Buchi Emecheta
I came to feel an artist might use anything - a dot, a line, the most conventional or unconventional symbol - t say what he wanted to say.
‐‐ Marcel Duchamp
I came to feel that, in addition to Imre Kertesz, Hungary has produced at least three contemporary novelists who deserve the Nobel: Peter Nadas, Peter Esterhazy and Laszlo Krasznahorkai.
‐‐ Garth Risk Hallberg
I came to feel very, very sentimental about those sets, which is ludicrous, because they represent everything which is transitory and insubstantial. It's absurd that one should feel sentimental about timber and canvas.
‐‐ Patrick Stewart
I came to filmmaking as an actor looking for great characters and great opportunities, both of which are kind of hard to come by. It turns out I really love the process. And, it's exciting to be able to take my career by the reigns and make things happen for myself. Hopefully, in doing so, more opportunities will become available to me.
‐‐ Katie Aselton
I came to filmmaking because it's my passion. I decided I can't have it distorted or marred by someone else deciding what it should be.
‐‐ Shane Carruth
I came to graduate school at Harvard University in 1954. My thesis supervisor, Julian Schwinger, had about a dozen doctoral students at a time. Getting his ear was as difficult as it was rewarding. I called my thesis 'The Vector Meson in Elementary Particle Decays', and it showed an early commitment to an electroweak synthesis.
‐‐ Sheldon Lee Glashow
I came to Hollywood and I loved it. It was a great time, but in my head I was still elsewhere, in Europe. I believed in a certain cinema, which I still do believe in - a certain European cinema - and as a young woman being in America, I thought I was being taken away from that.
‐‐ Valeria Golino
I came to Hollywood and nobody knew me. I was on a coupla TV shows.
‐‐ Peter Falk
I came to Hollywood and within a decade I was one of the biggest action stars of all time.
‐‐ Arnold Schwarzenegger
I came to Hollywood determined to follow in Jean Harlow's footsteps, but I was determined not to die young. My hope was to endure. And endure I have.
‐‐ Mamie Van Doren
I came to Hollywood originally writing comedy and writing satire.
‐‐ Stephen Gaghan
I came to Hollywood to write and found out I don't have the attention span.
‐‐ Lee Daniels
I came to Houston for a job, the reason most people move halfway across the country with a first grader and a five-week-old. I came here to teach at Rice.
‐‐ Justin Cronin
I came to Ireland 20 years ago as a student, hitch-hiking round for a week and staying in Dublin.
‐‐ Greta Scacchi
I came to join the Experience by going for an audition for Eric Burdon who was just forming the New Animals at that point, after the original Animals had broken up.
‐‐ Noel Redding
I came to know Gore Vidal in the mid-1980s, when I was living in southern Italy, virtually a neighbour, and our friendship lasted until his death in 2012. Needless to say, he was a complicated and often combative man.
‐‐ Jay Parini
I came to L.A. for pilot season, and it was so brutal. So brutal. But still, I just want to be making forward progress. There's lots of ideas about being a superstar. But my idea of being a superstar is just going forward and having new challenges and trying out new things.
‐‐ Kelly McCreary
I came to L.A. to work and become a better actress, not to be a star.
‐‐ Lauren Ambrose
I came to L.A. with confidence in my craft, and I was very offended when I didn't get a part. It took me awhile to understand that it is not always about your acting.
‐‐ Zoe McLellan
I came to live in Shepperton in 1960. I thought: the future isn't in the metropolitan areas of London. I want to go out to the new suburbs, near the film studios. This was the England I wanted to write about, because this was the new world that was emerging.
‐‐ J. G. Ballard
I came to London. It had become the center of my world and I had worked hard to come to it. And I was lost.
‐‐ V. S. Naipaul
I came to London when I was 16 and lived with my older sister.
‐‐ Trinny Woodall
I came to Los Angeles and did auditions for television. I made a terrible mess of most of them and I was quite intimidated. I felt very embarrassed and went back to London. I got British television jobs intermittently between the ages of 23 and 27, but it was very patchy.
‐‐ Michael Fassbender
I came to Los Angeles for the first time in 1994. I spoke no English. I only knew how to say two sentences: 'How are you?' and 'I want to work with Johnny Depp.'
‐‐ Penelope Cruz
I came to Los Angeles only after filming 'A Good Day to Die Hard,' when I was cast in the independent movie 'Delirium.' Director Lee Roy Kunz was looking everywhere for a Russian actress. He saw my photos, and only then he learned where I starred before! Eventually, I spent several months in the U.S., and we made the film quickly.
