I had had enough pretend. I wanted to be in the real world.

‐‐ Jane Pauley
I had had some successes in the '90s, always made money, but the truth was I was like a man pushing a boulder up a hill. A huge, heavy, difficult boulder made up of some career mistakes, projects that didn't meet expectations, and twenty years of being a known quantity.
‐‐ Rob Lowe
I had Hallowe'en parties every year, as it was my birthday five days before. My parents would actually put prosthetic noses on, and my dad would wear a top-hat and tails, put on a fake curly moustache, and hold a pipe.

I had heard about the nightcrawling world, and I'm very aware that there are tens of millions of young people around the world who are facing bleak employment prospects.
‐‐ Dan Gilroy

‐‐ Darrell Royal
I had hoped that foreboding economic circumstances would have caused the ultra-rich to think not just of themselves and increasing their own personal affluence. Unfortunately, however, too many of them lack concern, and without this concern, the divisive imbalance will only worsen with recession.
‐‐ Jamie Johnson
I had hoped that he has mouth smell or something other repelling, but nothing! It was even charming.
‐‐ Michelle Hunziker
I had hoped that the board would accept Johnny Hon's offer of a loan to buy the stadium back for the club, as I think this would be best way of continuing the long tradition of Cambridge United in Cambridge - and it was a generous offer.

‐‐ Lotte Lehmann
I had - I was pretty hell bent on getting into the cartoon business specifically as an artist from the get-go.
‐‐ Seth MacFarlane
I had immediate success in the sense that I sold something right off the bat. I thought it was going to be a piece of cake and it really wasn't. I have drawers full of - or I did have - drawers full of rejection slips.
‐‐ Fred Saberhagen
I had immense ambition to become a really valuable actress.
