I didn't have a business degree. I didn't have experience to work in somebody else's office. I never built or ran a department. So I was on this journey, and when the time came to make a decision, I was just going with my gut.
‐‐ Hamdi Ulukaya
I didn't have a catharsis for my childhood pain, most of us don't, and until I learned how to forgive those people and let it go, I was unhappy.
‐‐ Tyler Perry
I didn't have a childhood.
‐‐ Katy Perry
I didn't have a childhood, really, because I worked my whole life and... other reasons. So when I had some success, I went ballistic. That was my childhood, and the party kept going on.
‐‐ Mickey Rourke
I didn't have a choice growing up but to be more insecure because others had more.
‐‐ Shania Twain
I didn't have a clue where I was going on my first lap of practice.

I didn't have a cup of coffee until I was 27.

I didn't have a desk to write 'Red Queen' on, so I got a nice writing desk.
‐‐ Victoria Aveyard
I didn't have a dollar to my name in 2006.
‐‐ Jason Day
I didn't have a dream of being a press secretary, I had a dream of being a playwright; I had a dream of being a novelist and a poet.
‐‐ Pearl Cleage
I didn't have a dysfunctional childhood or young adulthood, but I was somebody who was very much raised to do what other people told me to do as a person.
‐‐ Shelley Fabares
I didn't have a father growing up, and I was raised with all women, and I didn't really understand men. I thought they were like women, right?
‐‐ Rene Russo
I didn't have a father when I was growing up, and I vowed to be there with my kids.
‐‐ Kenyon Martin
I didn't have a financial need, and I wasn't very gifted at relationships. I probably was more like what we think of boys as being: hard to pin down and wary of commitment.
‐‐ Candice Bergen
I didn't have a fireworks moment for my salvation. I had a falling in love with Jesus in Sunday school when I was a very young child.
‐‐ Beth Moore
I didn't have a fraternity-like experience. I mean, I grew up with an older brother and a lot of male cousins and we were very physical with each other. We were very rambunctious when we were kids. But I never thought much - nor did I have reason to think much - about institutionalized hazing. But I think there's a reason young men are drawn to it.
‐‐ Ben Schnetzer
I didn't have a good childhood because I never could get along with other kids. I was the child that sat in the corner eating lunch by herself.
‐‐ Jolene Blalock
I didn't have a good childhood growing up.
‐‐ Julie Roberts
I didn't have a happy childhood.
‐‐ Giorgio Armani
I didn't have a hard time making it, I had a hard time letting it go.
‐‐ Elliott Smith
I didn't have a job because nobody would hire me. My friends were getting hired, and I couldn't even get a job interview. That really rocked my self-esteem because I didn't understand what I did wrong on those job applications.
‐‐ Tyra Banks
I didn't have a lot of communication with Elvis. You had to go through a barricade to get to Elvis. It was people hanging on every word, and I felt very uncomfortable a lot of times.
‐‐ Mac Davis
I didn't have a lot of independent film connections. It really took until the digital film revolution came along that I realized that I could do it myself.
‐‐ Harry Shearer
I didn't have a lot of overtly political songs. I think it was more the actions of the group that were threatening to the authorities, and also our political philosophies apart from the music.
‐‐ Greg Ginn
I didn't have a lot to do with the first record.
‐‐ Bo Bice
I didn't have a mother; I had a mama. I measure other women by the stature of my mama.

I didn't have a normal academic career. I never studied cinema. I learned from life.
‐‐ Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu
I didn't have a normal background - I was completely demented from a very early age!
‐‐ Bill Paxton
I didn't have a normal childhood by any means.
‐‐ Tre Cool
I didn't have a normal childhood by any means. But it was what it was, and I appreciate what my parents did for me.

I didn't have a particular persona. I'm not Alice Cooper, you know?
‐‐ Andrea Corr
I didn't have a pool growing up, and we went to the beach to lay out and get sun.
‐‐ Erika Eleniak
I didn't have a problem with rejection, because when you go into an audition, you're rejected already. There are hundreds of other actors. You're behind the eight ball when you go in there.
‐‐ Robert De Niro
I didn't have a record player.
‐‐ Harrison Birtwistle
I didn't have a regular school experience and wanted a more abstract way of learning. I started exploring in lots of different creative ways. It gave me the opportunity to travel and play music, so it was good for me.
‐‐ Brie Larson
I didn't have a role model. My role model was Michael Jordan. Bad role model for an Indian dude... I didn't have anyone who looked like me. And by the time I was old enough to have what could have been a role model, they were my peers. Aziz Ansari is my peer. Kal Penn is my peer.
‐‐ Utkarsh Ambudkar
I didn't have a role model when I was younger.
‐‐ Andy Cohen
I didn't have a special secret about Sarah Palin. I just had a feeling and some concerns. Her blank stares and her lashing out in some interviews, I think, gave voters pause about her, too.
‐‐ Nicolle Wallace
I didn't have a sweet tooth, but I liked butter, and I liked sauces, and I liked wine... and curry... and cheeses.
‐‐ Maeve Binchy
I didn't have a teacher like Sister Mary Ignatius.
‐‐ Christopher Durang
I didn't have a teen age at all. I didn't even look at boys, never mind... then suddenly it was like, 'Oh my god!' So I made up for a lot of lost time very quickly. It was kind of bonkers. Working hard, partying hard - but also experiencing life, you know.
‐‐ Anne-Marie Duff
I didn't have a teenage or early-20s experience that was free and without worry. I missed the screw-everything, have-a-good-time phase.
‐‐ Sandra Bullock
I didn't have a thing to do with picking a coach, and didn't want to. But I didn't think they'd pick one I didn't like.
‐‐ Bear Bryant
I didn't have a very religious family.
‐‐ Barbara Walters
I didn't have a very starry school career, I was medium to above average, nothing special.
‐‐ Richard Dawkins
I didn't have a whole lot of role models to say, 'This much is possible, versus this much.' So I finally said, 'I think I'd like to be a mayor. I'd like to pull together a city and help do good things.'
‐‐ Susana Martinez
I didn't have a whole lot of success getting dates, I was always a bit of a geek.
‐‐ Jim Davis
I didn't have an agent, I didn't have a headshot. I didn't even know if anyone would know where to find me. I just went back to highschool and started playing with my band.
‐‐ Jason Schwartzman
I didn't have an exhibition anywhere until I was 30. My first exhibition was at 30, and then for my first show in America, I'm 50. It's kind of all right: I'm just a slow burner.
‐‐ Tracey Emin
