I felt like high school for me was like a big whirlpool of me trying to figure out what was OK for me to do.
‐‐ Donald Glover
I felt like hip-hop was my music, it was like my outsider music... but then my mom started answering our phone, 'Yo, what's up.' She was hearing me talk to my friends. I was like, 'No, mom, don't cop the hip-hop talk.'
‐‐ Jenny Lewis
I felt like I could take the responsibility and make the Nas movement bigger and not keep it confined to the Tri-State area, so to speak. He allowed me to do that. When we were together, we made a lot of noise, and I made him an international star.

I felt like I had a really bad case of writer's block... Music is so therapeutic for me that if I can't get it out, I start feeling bad about myself - a lot of self-loathing.
‐‐ Eminem
I felt like I had never really heard of a story that reflected the stuff I was going through as a mom. I came up with an idea for a story about motherhood that I would want to read.

I felt like I might as well have been living in another part of the solar system.
‐‐ Bob Dylan
I felt like I've needed to ask my parents up until about four years ago about everything. They have helped me tremendously, I came out of college with no debt. Everything they made, they just poured into my education.
‐‐ Steven Yeun
I felt like I was a teacher. But nowadays, I am as much a student of his. He writes a lot of what we play.
‐‐ Gary Burton
I felt like I was betraying my family. But I knew that trying to explain my emotions in a movie like this was more important than leaving them unspoken.
‐‐ John Robinson
I felt like I was flying without a net. But once I realized that the audience was my partner, I was flying a jet, because the people would allow me to develop the character on stage.

I felt like I was living in some sort of video game and people pre-empting every move I made, obviously as a result of accessing my private information.
‐‐ Sienna Miller
I felt like I was making a record under the radar, and that is my favorite way to do anything.
‐‐ Alanis Morissette

‐‐ Gene Weingarten
I felt like I was selling a product of the University of Georgia that's really special and really special to me as far as the education you can get, the development you can get, and the league we play in. That's what I've sold.
‐‐ Kirby Smart

‐‐ Stanley Clarke
I felt like if I wasn't around, maybe my shot would be gone.

‐‐ Jessica White
I felt like it was a great secret when I found out that I could be in my 30s.
‐‐ Kristin Hersh
I felt like it was inevitable that I was going to fail in life and die young. So I was frantically scrambling to document my stunts and pack my message into a bottle. I thought maybe I could be discovered after I'd died, like Van Gogh.

I felt like love has been underrepresented - unironic love, just actually really falling in love.
‐‐ Patrick deWitt
I felt like my career was out of my hands.
‐‐ Heath Ledger
I felt like my favorite writers have almost musical hooks in their work, whether it's poetry or a hook at the end of a chapter that makes you want to read the next one. And I think that my favorite writers definitely have something musical about what they do, in saying something so relatable and universal and so simple.
‐‐ Taylor Swift
I felt like my parents were always involved with abstraction, and I wanted to do something very specific.

I felt like my pregnancy was a sacred moment for me. I stayed in Boston and I didn't work apart from the contracts I have, and then I only let them use my face.
‐‐ Gisele Bundchen
I felt like one of the boys. My friends were boys. In school I related to boys.
‐‐ Chaz Bono
I felt like onstage I have to have a certain amount of anonymity, like, personal anonymity, to feel loose and free. When you're up there with people who've known you for a decade, and you make a bad joke and you hear the cackling behind the drums, it's hard to get lost in the moment.
‐‐ Jenny Lewis
I felt like people only knew me as a singer who dated pretty girls.

I felt like the big geek in high school. And I still feel like a big geek.
‐‐ Leslie Bibb
I felt like the dark hair added like a toughness to my face also, which was really important.
‐‐ Jaime King
I felt like the luckiest kid in the world. And I was. I was growing up middle-class in a time when growing up middle-class in America meant there would be jobs for my parents, good schools for me to prepare myself for a career, and, if I worked hard and played by the rules, a chance for me to do anything I wanted.
‐‐ Al Franken
I felt like the luckiest kid in the world because God had put me on the ground in Texas. I actually felt sorry for those poor little kids that had to be born in Oklahoma or England or some place. I knew I was living in the best place in the world.

‐‐ Norma McCorvey
I felt like when I got with Kanye, and we discussed me being on G.O.O.D. Music, he just really took me to a place in regards to music that I love and music that I had made previously. We had a clear understanding of what I wanted to make, and he just seemed like he was an advocate for hardcore, uncompromising hip-hop.
‐‐ Pusha T
I felt like when I took my weave out, I wasn't pretty, I wasn't noticeable.

‐‐ Raquel Welch
I felt little awkward about taking one boyfriend to see a film starring another boyfriend.
‐‐ Shelley Duvall
I felt Michael Jackson was inspired a little bit more from the elegance of a Fred Astaire. Michael loved Sammy Davis, Jr. and James Brown and Judy Garland and Fred Astaire. But he wasn't any of those people. To be inspired is one thing, but he made it all his own.
‐‐ Kenny Ortega
I felt more comfortable playing other people than being myself, when I was a kid. And then, the tables turned. Through my performances, I've become more comfortable with who I am, and then I just bring more of myself into the people that I play.
‐‐ Jay Ryan
I felt more doubtful than usual with 'Goon Squad,' because I knew that the book's genre wasn't easily named - Novel? Stories? Novel-in-stories? - and I worried that its lack of a clear category would count against it. My hopes for it were pretty modest.
‐‐ Jennifer Egan
