‐‐ Adam Pally
I got to see the first step, hear the first word. Most people - and certainly working moms - are not able to do that. I wanted to appreciate the fact that I had worked so hard all my life to be able to have those moments.
‐‐ Sarah Michelle Gellar
I got to show off in front of my husband, who married me as I was stepping out of the business, so he had no idea that I could strut my stuff on the stage.

‐‐ Phil Klay
I got to watch my heroes meet him and saw how they reacted, whether it was Joe Strummer or Tom Waits. It was peculiar. I'm so stoked to meet Tom Waits, and he's so nervous to meet my dad. It's a head spin.
‐‐ Jakob Dylan
I got to where I couldn't listen to country radio. Country music is supposed to have steel and fiddle. When I hear country music, it should be country.
‐‐ Gretchen Wilson
I got to work for some great administrators at great institutions, and I had an opportunity to coach great players. Iowa is no different.

‐‐ Domhnall Gleeson
I got to work with Dustin Hoffman on a film called 'Billy Bathgate.' I got to work with Meryl Streep and Goldie Hawn and Bob Zemeckis on 'Death Becomes Her.' There are still a few actors out there that I would like to work with.

‐‐ Stephnie Weir
I got to write most of everything I said.
‐‐ R. Lee Ermey

‐‐ Alfred Enoch
I got told I needed a producer I don't know how many times - maybe 27 times, 30? Then I recently got told 'I'm so proud of you.' That was even more great to hear.

‐‐ Cat Power
I got too caught up in Hollywood, being so into myself and my image.

I got too fed up with films that didn't make you think. I liked the idea of one that you'd have to be dancing around with. I like my mind to be engaged when I watch a film.
‐‐ Guy Ritchie
I got too old to live in the bush. You really need to be youngish and healthy, so it seemed stupid to keep going.

‐‐ Janis Joplin
I got two older brothers and two younger sisters, and we grew up in the country, and we were a little feral. So as long as the car didn't end up in the rhubarb and you didn't get caught for doing whatever you were doing, you were fine.

I got two stores, two streetwear stores, at home. Have to tend to those. Play Cloths. Have to tend to that business.

‐‐ Clayton Christensen
I got typecast early in my career as the guy who is very intense. Once you get into a certain mold, people see you that way, as much as it's disproved time and again.
‐‐ D. B. Sweeney
I got up one Christmas morning and we didn't have nothing to eat. We didn't have an apple, we didn't have an orange, we didn't have a cake, we didn't have nothing.
