I didn't really expect to be coming to the Oscars.
‐‐ Daniel Woodrell
I didn't really experience any hardship like people tend to think of when they hear the words 'Detroit, Michigan.' I think Big Sean is a much better ambassador for the city.
‐‐ Mike Posner
I didn't really feel 100 percent comfortable until we started working on the 2004 election.
‐‐ Rob Corddry
I didn't really feel I was being hurt, but you could feel it.
‐‐ David Gest
I didn't really feel that there were any filler tracks on 'The Red Shoes,' but if I were to do that album now, I wouldn't make it so long.
‐‐ Kate Bush
I didn't really get a normal childhood.
‐‐ Evan Rachel Wood
I didn't really get any rigorous background in film history.
‐‐ Joshua Oppenheimer
I didn't really get crazy about Bob Wills until 1940.
‐‐ Johnny Gimble
I didn't really get into golf until I was about 14. My mom and dad were taking lessons from a pro an hour and a half from our farm in Cohuna, Australia. When they got home, I'd ask my mom to explain everything they learned - drills and all.
‐‐ Stuart Appleby
I didn't really get involved too heavily with being an actual film person.
‐‐ Kenny Baker
I didn't really get London until I read Dickens. Then I was charmed to death by it.
‐‐ Feist
I didn't really get to Led Zeppelin until I was in my 20s.
‐‐ Anthony Kiedis
I didn't really go the starving-artist route. I kind of went and did massive, commercial things.
‐‐ Ashton Kutcher
I didn't really grow up a comic book fanatic.
‐‐ Alan Ritchson
I didn't really grow up a comic book fanatic. I was a big baseball player, and my passion in life, in third grade, was collecting baseball cards. That was my childhood thing.
‐‐ Alan Ritchson
I didn't really grow up listening to blues, because I grew up in the Northwest. It wasn't really the center for blues.
‐‐ David Lynch
I didn't really grow up on hip-hop. Ella Fitzgerald and the old school jazz divas are more my comfort zone.
‐‐ Gugu Mbatha-Raw
I didn't really have a favourite subject at school as I was useless at everything.
‐‐ Anthony Horowitz
I didn't really have a plan of attack when I got in college.
‐‐ Carrot Top
I didn't really have an act per se - a theatrical performance, as opposed to just: here I am, folks, and you're all supposed to be dead quiet while I sing eight or nine songs, then get off the stage.
‐‐ Mel Torme
I didn't really have an agenda for my talent. I just wanted to be able to sing.
‐‐ Brenda Lee
I didn't really have an interest in politics when I first entered the workforce. What I wanted to do was help people who grew up like me. When I was a kid growing up in Tucson, my father lost his job and we lost everything - including our home. We lived in an abandoned gas station for two years until we were able to get back on our feet.
‐‐ Kyrsten Sinema
I didn't really have any aspirations to do TV when I first decided to be an actor.
‐‐ Arthur Darvill
I didn't really have any interest in producing anything.
‐‐ Mark Ruffalo
I didn't really have the entire high school experience. I've been working since I was six years old, so I didn't go to the classic high school.
‐‐ Thomas Ian Nicholas
I didn't really hear any other music other than what my dad was working on until I was 12. My recollection of hearing other music was that I liked some things that I heard but I always thought, 'Where's the rest of it?' It didn't have the same amount of detail or instrumentation or imagination in the arrangements.
‐‐ Dweezil Zappa
I didn't really identify with the music of my own generation, but I was very curious about the music of others.
‐‐ Tom Waits
I didn't really inhabit myself until I was in my 30s. And motherhood is an epic event. You can't help but be altered by it - and it is important to be.
‐‐ Anne-Marie Duff
I didn't really know anything about Margot Fonteyn. I'd never really been a ballet child, so I had no idea what an incredibly huge icon she was, not just in terms of a creative icon - she was also a style icon. I had no idea she was up there with Audrey Hepburn and Jackie Onassis in terms of that kind of image.
‐‐ Anne-Marie Duff
I didn't really know exactly the point where I wanted to be an actor. But I know at this point, because I never went to college, I don't really have anything to fall back on.
‐‐ Rory Cochrane
I didn't really know how to make a film when I made 'Control'. I had to create my own language, just as I did when I started taking photographs. I never studied either one.
‐‐ Anton Corbijn
I didn't really know how to write jokes, so I just told weird, long stories about being tall and beautiful and wealthy in New York. I'd tell them very seriously, but I kind of looked like a drag queen at the time with big wigs and crazy 12-inch platform heels.
‐‐ Melissa McCarthy
I didn't really know I wanted to act when I was a child. I have a lot of interests, and I really wanted to finish my education - go to college - and didn't really want to have a career as an adolescent.
‐‐ Jordan Bridges
I didn't really know what I wanted to do, and then I got this call from a casting director in Los Angeles. She remembered me from something years before, and she called my mom wanting me to audition for this thing.
‐‐ Scott Speedman
I didn't really know what I wanted to do, but I knew the woman I wanted to become.
‐‐ Diane von Furstenberg
I didn't really know what I was doing when I started. I just started writing songs. After two songs I just continued to explore it.
‐‐ Neil Young
I didn't really know what to expect, but I thought there aren't a lot of rap groups that can say they have a documentary done about them, so my attitude was like, 'Shoot, why not?' I'm sure there are a lot of people that would like to take our place. I felt like we should all embrace it.
‐‐ Phife Dawg
I didn't really know what to expect. I had been told about the scale of Cannes, but nothing could have prepared me for just how many people would turn out for our photo calls or for the opening ceremony.
‐‐ Elizabeth Debicki
I didn't really learn how to play guitar until I was in college.
‐‐ James Vincent McMorrow
I didn't really like being on television at all.
‐‐ Natalia Kills
I didn't really like doing commercials.
‐‐ Joseph Gordon-Levitt
I didn't really like modeling; it was fun but I always wanted acting.
‐‐ Leighton Meester
I didn't really like my Sydney accent - nobody likes the sound of their own voice - and when I was a little younger tried to change my accent gradually. But I've only ever really lived in Sydney and Los Angeles, so I haven't been influenced by the accents of some far-off land.
‐‐ Callan McAuliffe
I didn't really like opera. I liked cheerleading and boys and, later, smoking. So my opera career was cut short when I was 15. My dad got sick, and we couldn't afford the lessons, so I stopped and became a cheerleader and wrecked my voice.
‐‐ Meryl Streep
I didn't really like reading much before I did 'The Golden Compass'. But then my teacher told me to read it. And I thought, 'Oh God, I'm going to have to read a whole book by myself!' It's not that I couldn't read, it's just that I didn't really like books very much. But the book that she lent me I really enjoyed.
‐‐ Dakota Blue Richards
I didn't really like the aloneness of doing stand-up.
‐‐ Steve Buscemi
I didn't really like the aloneness of doing stand-up. The comedians by nature weren't very - I mean, they were sociable, but they hung out in cliques, and it's very hard to get accepted; lots of competition.
‐‐ Steve Buscemi
I didn't really like 'You Raise Me Up' at the time we recorded it; now it's my favourite Westlife song.
‐‐ Shane Filan
I didn't really make up my mind to be an actor until I did 'The Hitcher' with Rutger Hauer. I was about 17 or 18 when I did that, by which point I'd probably done a dozen or more movies or TV things, but 'The Hitcher' was the experience that made me want to study and commit and learn how to do this for my life.
