I didn't need the insurance. I do it again if my DP tells me it didn't look good in the camera or if the actors didn't hit their marks. But if everything was working why do it again?
‐‐ Debbie Allen
I didn't need to be speaker because I needed a fancy title or a big office. I wanted to be speaker so I could lead an effort to deal with the serious issues that are facing our country.
‐‐ John Boehner
I didn't need to borrow money from the record company, because if I had my own publishing company, and I had my own writers, I'd have enough to get and do whatever I wanted to do.
‐‐ Solomon Burke
I didn't need to depend on the record company to publish my records.
‐‐ Solomon Burke
I didn't need to write historical epics, no, or science fiction, though I read a lot of science fiction as a kid and rather liked it. But I didn't have the mentality.
‐‐ John Updike
I didn't never have to go to a therapist. I just always put it in a song and you heard me.
‐‐ Mary J. Blige
I didn't not perform.
‐‐ Melissa Manchester
I didn't only have a perceptual problem, I was also so nervous and so upset. The process just didn't work. I lost enthusiasm for school and I flunked second grade. The teachers said I was lazy.
‐‐ Caitlyn Jenner
I didn't originally intend on writing a book. I started writing during the day to feel like I was accomplishing something creative.
‐‐ Rachel Dratch
I didn't own a cell phone for a long time. I was late in the game on that.
‐‐ Vince Vaughn
I didn't particularly like being objectified.
‐‐ L'Wren Scott
I didn't particularly want to go to Westminster - not that there were many seats available or chances for women to get elected. In 1987, Labour sent down 50 MPs, and only one of them was a woman.
‐‐ Johann Lamont
I didn't pay as much attention in school as I would have liked to.
‐‐ Gillian Anderson
I didn't pay my taxes for years.
‐‐ Noam Chomsky
I didn't picture myself as a movie actress. I began to think about it around college. I remember thinking, 'Well somebody has to be in them,' so maybe I could do that eventually. It's all been a surprise.
‐‐ Annette Bening
I didn't plan on being a comedian. I didn't plan on getting married and I didn't plan on having kids, but I did all those things.
‐‐ Rodney Carrington
I didn't plan on being a single mom, but you have to deal with the cards you are dealt the best way you can.
‐‐ Tichina Arnold
I didn't plan on going into show business. Show business picked me. And it's been fun. One of the best things about being in show business is people think they know me, and they feel like they grew up with me.
‐‐ Vicki Lawrence
I didn't plan on rock-n-roll. I wanted to learn jazz; I got to know some people doing rock-n-roll with jazz, and I thought I could make some money playing music.
‐‐ Robby Krieger
I didn't plan on running for speaker, but I don't see anyone else stepping up. I know I'm the underdog.
‐‐ Jason Chaffetz
I didn't plan to act, but I'm glad I'm doing it - and I just want to keep getting better.
‐‐ Meg Tilly
I didn't plan to be a director until I was 35. For years I wanted to do anything but!
‐‐ Alexandra Cassavetes
I didn't plan to be a politician. The founder of our country, David Ben-Gurion, called me from the kibbutz to serve in the underground. We were short of manpower, short of arms. I was 24 years old. I was supposed to serve my country for one or two years. I am 89 years old this year, and I keep going.
‐‐ Shimon Peres
I didn't plan to be the rude middle-class comedian. You write a certain type of joke that you find funny, and mine happen to be often rude. Yes, it's juvenile, but that's me.
‐‐ Jimmy Carr
I didn't plan to write YA - I had a story that simply wasn't working as a straight-up fantasy novel.
‐‐ Carrie Vaughn
I didn't play a great deal of sport in primary school. It was not until I went away to boarding school in Sussex that I really got into sport.
‐‐ Frank Bruno
I didn't play a lot of bass as a kid, but I sang it.
‐‐ Charlie Haden
I didn't play after the Grateful Dead stopped playing. I didn't touch anything for three or four months, and I just got pretty crazy.
‐‐ Bill Kreutzmann
I didn't play at collecting. No cigar anywhere was safe from me.
‐‐ Edward G. Robinson
I didn't play football in school, but I've been a fan of football all my life. I have a fair understanding of it. Doing movies about it really helps because you know what makes them work and what doesn't.
‐‐ Dennis Quaid
I didn't play or like a lot of board games as a child. I liked playing with my G.I. Joes and making up adventures for them.
‐‐ Jonathan Ames
I didn't play organized football until I was in the seventh grade. Up until that point, I only played at recess and in the backyard.
‐‐ Peyton Manning
I didn't play soccer; I played that other football in grade school through college.
‐‐ Joe Biden
I didn't play the game right because I saw a reward at the end of the tunnel.
‐‐ Ryne Sandberg
I didn't play video games because my parents didn't allow it. That was banned from my childhood experience.
‐‐ Kristin Kreuk
I didn't play with other children.
‐‐ Karl Lagerfeld
I didn't promote war when I was a weapons inspector.
‐‐ Scott Ritter
I didn't pursue acting as a career until I got my first job. I didn't think I could make a living at it. You hear such horror stories about how hard it is to get work as an actor. It is hard, but I decided to roll with it.
‐‐ Mary Page Keller
I didn't push Cory. I wanted him to decide if he wanted to go into boxing and he did. Can't blame it on me.
‐‐ Leon Spinks
I didn't put out this album because I wanted everybody to know I was grown up. I'm 21 and that's not grown up.
‐‐ Justin Timberlake
I didn't quit movies. They quit me.
‐‐ Jane Powell
I didn't quite believe I was pretty for a long time. I never thought about it.
‐‐ Elizabeth Banks
I didn't raise my kids with the fear of God.
‐‐ Denis Leary
I didn't raise Todd to be a writer, but he happened to be one anyway.
‐‐ Anne McCaffrey
I didn't read at all until I was 12. I just couldn't. It was too frustrating.
‐‐ Ahmet Zappa
I didn't read children's books when I was a child. The only books in our house were ration books.
‐‐ Michael Foreman
I didn't read comic books, growing up. I was more of a science fiction/fantasy novel guy. I loved reading Edgar Rice Burroughs' 'Tarzan' and that kind of stuff.
‐‐ Jesse L. Martin
I didn't read comic books; that's not something that was really available to me as a child. We watched more cartoons and movies.
‐‐ Candice Patton
I didn't read many comics as a kid - I've always been a really fast reader, and I would fly through a comic book in a few minutes and be so mad that it ended so quickly. But now that I've been in the business, I tend to look at the panels so much more carefully, and realize that so much of it is about the art; I don't think I got that before.
