I never planned to win an Oscar. When I auditioned for 'Ray,' I was just thinking about what a great project it would be.
‐‐ Jamie Foxx
I never play a villain that I don't have something I can either do or say so the audience sees there is something redeemable about them. In other words, I don't want to do evil for evil's sake. I don't want to do Jason slasher movies. There's no point in that.
‐‐ Brion James
I never play golf because it takes too long, and the business connections it produces can be made just as easily over an early breakfast.
‐‐ Eli Broad
I never play video games! I'm so bad at it. I have, like, no manual dexterity.
‐‐ Kelly Hu
I never play without my cape.
‐‐ Bela Lugosi
I never played a musical instrument growing up but I knew kids who did and took it very seriously.
‐‐ Kevin James
I never played coffee shops; I just played a lot of coffee shop-sized venues. I took every venue I could get my hands on.
‐‐ Sara Bareilles
I never played Freddy as real. In the true bible of Wes Craven's outline for the films, Freddy only manifests himself in dreams. And a lot goes into a dream, not the least of which is imagination. So Freddy is secondhand information. Freddy is an urban legend that's been handed down to these teenagers over the years.
‐‐ Robert Englund
I never played inside as a kid - even in the rain I'd go out.
‐‐ Anthony Doerr
I never played much golf as a kid. I caddied quite a bit but never got serious into golf until about age 15.
‐‐ Lee Trevino
I never played music, but it's an important thing ... the studying, the inspiration.
‐‐ Kevin James
I never played politics, I was never a party girl, and I never slept with any of the producers.
‐‐ Ann Miller
I never played sports. I wasn't any good at them.
‐‐ Leighton Meester
I never played sports or got into the whole guy camaraderie of, like, 'I love you, man! Seniors forever!' So suddenly being in the military with these guys who were under these very heightened circumstances, isolated from their families, living this very kind of Greek lifestyle, it changed my life in a really big way.
‐‐ Adam Driver
I never played the 'decoration,' I always played the one who suffered. And then I got very lucky in my middle career, when I started playing the hero, which at that point was quite rare for women.
‐‐ Tyne Daly
I never played the right roles, or very rarely got the right roles offered, except on stage.
‐‐ Maximilian Schell
I never played with a runner in my entire life, even in schools, because only I know where the ball is going and how hard, when I hit the ball, something my runner will never know about.
‐‐ Sachin Tendulkar
I never played with anything like toys.
‐‐ Karl Lagerfeld
I never plot out my novels in terms of the tone of the book. Hopefully, once a story is begun it reveals itself.
‐‐ Alice Hoffman
I never practice before, I never work hours on a script. I just choose my characters and trust them, and after that, it's about the director taking your hand.
‐‐ Melanie Laurent
I never predict anything, and I never will.
‐‐ Paul Gascoigne
I never predicted that I'd be a comedian, but it was something that came so naturally to me. I just felt good doing it.
‐‐ Omar Sy
I never prepare. I think that's completely overrated. It's a very simple job. All you have to do is hit this bright mark, stand in the right spot and say the line. So I don't really believe in preparation.
‐‐ Joaquin Phoenix
I never pressure myself to do something I don't want to do.
‐‐ Eric Ripert
I never presumed that a technique of composition or an idea was so special that just using it would guarantee the quality of the music.
‐‐ Robert Morris
I never pretended to be a great actor.
‐‐ Joel McCrea
I never professed to be perfect. I do something wrong or something stupid, I laugh at myself.
‐‐ John Madden
I never promise anything. I don't promise anything to my mum. I don't promise anything to the supporters.
‐‐ Cristiano Ronaldo
I never promised you a rose garden.
‐‐ Traian Basescu
I never publicise in advance what I'm going to be singing because I never quite know until I start. I often change my mind halfway through. I sometimes throw in stuff about politics or Shakespeare or do songs in Yiddish.
‐‐ Mandy Patinkin
I never pursued a career relentlessly.
‐‐ Armand Assante
I never pursued acting with, like, auditions. If anything, I was given roles by people who knew me and liked what I did.
‐‐ H. Jon Benjamin
I never pursued anything but acting. But as a kid, I was really interested in the Supreme Court. I wanted to to be a Supreme Court justice, but didn't want to be a lawyer. I just wanted to go straight to being a justice.
‐‐ Gillian Jacobs
I never pursued being 'famous.'
‐‐ Francesca Annis
I never pursued Hollywood banging my drum, because I was never in a film big enough to do that.
‐‐ Armand Assante
I never pursued voice hard enough. I've done musicals here and there, but I was never dedicated to really being one of these fantastic, operatic kind of singers that you have to be in some of these musicals.
‐‐ Allison Tolman
I never pushed to be a star. I didn't want to. I had my home, my family. Session work let you do the music and leave.
‐‐ Darlene Love
I never put a lot of praise on myself because of my relationship with Ike. I was just happy when I started to like myself - when I divorced and took control of my life.
‐‐ Tina Turner
I never put down a bad script and I never walk out of a bad movie because I'm always hopeful things will change.
‐‐ Peter Segal
I never put my arms around John Gotti, Al Capone or Lucky Luciano.
‐‐ Robert Stack
I never put on a pair of shoes until I've worn them at least five years.
‐‐ Samuel Goldwyn
I never put out a history, I put out a dramatic history.
‐‐ Oliver Stone
I never put out a vanilla edition of a DVD.
‐‐ Eli Roth
I never question God. Sometimes I say, 'Why me? Why do I have such a hard life? Why do I have this disease? Why do I have siblings who died?' But then I think and say, 'Why not me?'
‐‐ Mattie Stepanek
I never question what to do, it tells me what to do. The photographs make themselves with my help.
‐‐ Ruth Bernhard
I never questioned I would have any trouble doing what I wanted to do. I'm not talking about getting to a certain position - or to success. It was just that I knew I wanted to act, and that I would make my living that way. Having the unconditional support of your parents is really freeing.
‐‐ Tracy Pollan
I never questioned the integrity of an umpire. Their eyesight, yes.
‐‐ Leo Durocher
I never quit. The times when I have quit in the past because I couldn't face trying harder have stayed with me, and the guilt is not worth it.
‐‐ Lizzie Armitstead
I never quit trying. I never felt that I didn't have a chance to win.
‐‐ Arnold Palmer
