I never thought a basketball shoe would be named after a woman, let alone me.
‐‐ Sheryl Swoopes
I never thought a Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland or anywhere else was a good idea.
‐‐ Todd Rundgren
I never thought a role model should be negative.
‐‐ Michael Jordan
I never thought about acting before I started modeling, but since then I've been in short films and music videos, and I got interested. It felt natural to switch over.
‐‐ Rila Fukushima
I never thought about becoming a politician. But during the military dictatorship, my grandfather was put in prison six times and my father twice. If my family and my country didn't have this history, I might be a professor somewhere today.
‐‐ George Papandreou
I never thought about becoming a professional singer, but I am in touch with Bono about releasing a musical movie. It will be about an Irish band during the '70s who are looking for fortune in Las Vegas. I should play the singer of the band but I don't want to sing in front of anybody.
‐‐ Liam Neeson
I never thought about being a cop. I'm kind of sensitive. I don't know if I could handle that job. It's hard to go home every day and be able to still live your own life because some of the stuff you see really affects you.
‐‐ Missy Peregrym
I never thought about being a writer as I grew up. A writer wasn't something I wanted to be. An outfielder was something to be. Most of what I know about style I learned from Roberto Clemente.
‐‐ John Sayles
I never thought about being an actor.
‐‐ Danny Glover
I never thought about being famous.
‐‐ Damon Wayans
I never thought about 'being' in comedy when I grew up, because I didn't know it was a real job. But looking back, it's the only thing I ever really cared about.
‐‐ Colin Jost
I never thought about being on a series before. It seemed like such a big commitment. But I love going to work every day. This is not about ego, it's about work, and that's refreshing in this town.
‐‐ Lauren Ambrose
I never thought about being the highest paid. I just wanted to be someone that people cared about watching, and I feel I'm a good actor.
‐‐ Jan-Michael Vincent
I never thought about competing in the Olympic Games when I was growing up.
‐‐ Simone Biles
I never thought about doing a sequel when I was actually writing 'The Magicians.' I only ever considered it a standalone.
‐‐ Lev Grossman
I never thought about doing anything other than making art.
‐‐ Kim Gordon
I never thought about getting any tattoos removed.
‐‐ Henry Rollins
I never thought about how I didn't have a cell phone or I'm in 2011. I was just so happy to be able to be a character in the 30s and there are these actresses that I really liked in the 40s, 50s and 60s in American movies that I've seen since I was a little girl. But you don't really think like that when you prepare for a role.
‐‐ Berenice Bejo
I never thought about movies. I never thought about Hollywood. It was just being on the stage and being in New York.
‐‐ Chris Eigeman
I never thought about my image. It interests me that there are people who do, that they seem to be methodical about it. Maybe things would have gone differently for me in some ways if I had.
‐‐ Alan Alda
I never thought about settling down. I was obsessed with my career - I was blinkered. I finally met a woman who was worthy of me. Then we settled down and had many children.
‐‐ Ron Moody
I never thought about success. I always thought about doing the job at hand. My goal was getting through the show that night.
‐‐ Steve Martin
I never thought about the actors on television or film, like what kind of life they had.
‐‐ David Duchovny
I never thought about the relationship of my mother, my family, to the content of my work.
‐‐ Robert Wilson
I never thought about what I would write. I just come from such a big family of storytellers.
‐‐ Molly Antopol
I never thought about what people would say about me. I was just a young guy who was excited to become a comedian and an actor, and I just wanted to get to do what I got to do.
‐‐ Adam Sandler
I never thought about writing a novel until I was 13, and that happened by chance. I was on school holidays, and I was bored, and I thought I just wanted to do something to occupy myself instead of asking, 'What can I do, mum? Entertain me.' I started, and it really just took over, and I realised, 'Wow, this is an amazing experience.'
‐‐ Alexandra Adornetto
I never thought about writing. I was married young, I was still in college, as we did then, and I had two babies before I was 25, and I loved them, and I loved taking care of them, but I was a little bit cuckoo, staying at home and not having a creative outlet.
‐‐ Judy Blume
I never thought acting would be a realistic job for me. Because, quite frankly, I didn't see people who looked like me doing it. I quickly realized, that's all the more reason to try.
‐‐ Riz Ahmed
I never thought acting would be my life. I only started doing it because I needed something to occupy my weekends after I dislocated my knee and couldn't play sport.
‐‐ Callan McAuliffe
I never thought anyone would pity me because of my time in the Marine Corps.
‐‐ Phil Klay
I never thought anything like that would have gone on.
‐‐ Bernard Ebbers
I never thought anything was strange in Puerto Rico other than the big mosquitos; because I was born there, nothing was really foreign to me. I think what I saw strange coming to L.A. was that a lot of people are a little bit two-faced. In Puerto Rico, you don't get that.
‐‐ Joyce Giraud
I never thought being famous would be wonderful, but my limited exposure to celebrity has shown me the dark side big-time.
‐‐ Marianne Williamson
I never thought being obnoxious would get me where I am today.
‐‐ Billie Joe Armstrong
I never thought being the producer was being the dictator. It means being the director and being the coach. It's a way of keeping everybody focused on the goal, and also having final say. Everybody can be in the same car, but somebody has to drive.
‐‐ Paul Stanley
I never thought Cathy would get married in the comic strip. And I also thought I would never get married.
‐‐ Cathy Guisewite
I never thought for a second that anything I ever did was going to make someone cringe. That never occurred to me.
‐‐ Larry David
I never thought for one second I'd be able to play with a real band. When I was in high school, I went through a lot of bad treatment and was called a lot of names by boys because I wanted to play. Sly was different.
‐‐ Cynthia Robinson
I never thought getting older would be so great. But when it comes to depression, I have experienced less the older I've gotten.
‐‐ Amy Grant
I never thought I am a stylish. For me, style is always a representation of what you want to wear but doing it in a unique way and expressing yourself. Every girl loves to be stylish.
‐‐ Priyanka Chopra
I never thought I could learn much from a dog or cat. They sleep when we sleep. They eat when we eat. I'm into observing animals being as wild as they can be in a captive environment.
‐‐ Dominic Monaghan
I never thought I could model, and I certainly never thought about acting. It's just something that happened to me.
‐‐ Rene Russo
I never thought I could win the French Open.
‐‐ Li Na
I never thought I could write fiction.
‐‐ Jonathan Galassi
I never thought I'd be a role model but I think to some people I am or have been.
‐‐ Bethenny Frankel
I never thought I'd be a writer. I never thought I'd be able to read a book, let alone write one. So if books like this inspire kids to write, or even read a whole book, I think it's good.
‐‐ Don Novello
I never thought I'd be acting. It's very accidental for me.
‐‐ Reeve Carney
I never thought I'd be an expert at sword fighting, I never thought I'd be an expert in protein powders - I'm close to being an expert in both. It's great!
‐‐ Liam McIntyre
I never thought I'd be comfortable living outside South Africa, but we love London. Our two kids were born here.
‐‐ Ernie Els
I never thought I'd be doing poetry books. I never really studied poetry. But the first one I did was after my mother died, and I realized that people sort of think and talk about her style and fashion, but in fact, what made her the person she was was really her love of reading and ideas.
‐‐ Caroline Kennedy
I never thought I'd be doing records a year after I started - I had no idea it would last as long as it did.
‐‐ Boy George
I never thought I'd be in a position where people would be talking about my sexuality and saying how good I look in underwear.
‐‐ Fiona Apple
I never thought I'd be investigating global warming. I believe it's real and that saving the planet is good.
‐‐ Jesse Ventura
I never thought I'd be making a living off of acting - it's still kind of a shock for my family and friends to see my face on TV every Wednesday night.
‐‐ Matthew Gray Gubler
I never thought I'd be on T.V. For me as a kid in Liverpool, it was a more realistic option to be a singer.
‐‐ Cilla Black
I never thought I'd be on the cover of the 'Atlanta Journal' unless I killed someone.
‐‐ Chris Robinson
I never thought I'd be one of those old hams who favours theatre over everything, but I'm getting that way. Telly and film seemed more fun when I was younger; turning left on planes and washing up in nice places. But there are things that you only learn in theatre.
‐‐ Paul McGann
I never thought I'd be right to play a Juliet-like character.
‐‐ Ellie Kendrick
I never thought I'd be some fashion mogul!
‐‐ Jessica Simpson
I never thought I'd be the type of girl who'd be doing, like, fashion shoots.
‐‐ Rebel Wilson
