I realised I had to work in something creative, but with a business and global element. And that I had to do it while I was still young and had an appetite for risk.
‐‐ Imran Amed
I realised I've got quite a talent for coming up with ideas for design. I've got so many ideas about fashion.
‐‐ John Caudwell
I realised I was living in my own universe with lots of assistants. I didn't have a cell phone; I didn't know how to use a computer. Everybody was doing everything for me. So I left and moved to New York. It was the end of an era, and I must say I found myself a bit lost. I wasn't in the protected Mugler universe any more.
‐‐ Thierry Mugler
I realised it was only me who was stopping myself from living my life.
‐‐ Jennifer Aniston
I realised one day that men are emotional cripples. We can't express ourselves emotionally, we can only do it with anger and humour. Emotional stability and expression comes from women.
‐‐ Bob Hoskins
I realised quite early on that, although I wasn't trying to make a career speciality of it, I was playing slightly asexual, sociopathic intellectuals.
‐‐ Benedict Cumberbatch
I realised success as an actor alone wouldn't make me happy. I needed to explore my spiritual side in more depth.
‐‐ Linus Roache
I realised that a lot of women felt the same way I did - they didn't want to wear heavy make-up, but, for whatever reason, there were elements in their skin they want to smooth out or cover.
‐‐ Louise Nurding
I realised that a television show on political lampoon was one genre that was missing.
‐‐ Cyrus Broacha
I realised that God has placed Christians everywhere, to support each other, to support the needy in those areas, and that is the thing that I find is a great plus.
‐‐ Cliff Richard
I realised that I had always been writing things that other people wanted me to write and not what I really wanted to write, so I felt like I was losing my way.
‐‐ Carlos Ruiz Zafon
I realised that if I did what I wanted to do, it would work.
‐‐ John Dyer
I realised that if I wished to write about the dark and not allow for hope, people would recognise it as false - because hope is the nub of what we are.
‐‐ Richard Flanagan
I realised that if you get yourself labeled as the funny one, people don't look any further. I've used that as I've got older. It's controlling: I decide what part of my personality you're seeing. I don't want you to look at me, I really don't. I don't want you to comment on my clothes, my hair or the way I look.
‐‐ Catherine Tate
I realised that the idea of enforcing sharia is not consistent with Islam as it's been practised from the beginning. In other words, Islam has always been secular, and I had been totally ignorant of the fact.
‐‐ Maajid Nawaz
I realised that the only time I really enjoyed music was when I was in the studio writing. So even though it was a six album deal, they saw quite early on that I wasn't enjoying it as I should be. I didn't feel there was anything behind it.
‐‐ Adam Rickitt
I realised that the political context had got worse since the 2010 World Cup. I tried to ignore it but I wanted, as a national coach - you may call this Utopia - to make Catalans and Basques feel good about supporting a Spanish side... to unite even the most sectarian and nationalist.
‐‐ Vicente del Bosque
I realised that there's a more muscular approach to film-making that I found very inspiring.
‐‐ Kathryn Bigelow
I realised that to compare your insides with other people's outsides leads to unhappiness.
‐‐ Marcus Brigstocke
I realised that today we are very much interested in reading about subjects that would have also interested people in the 1500s: ghosts, demons and things that go bump in the night.
‐‐ Deborah Harkness
I realised that you can go through times of extreme happiness, but if that happiness is not coming from a deeply rooted place, you will also be going through extreme lows of sadness.
‐‐ Katrina Kaif
I realised that you could easily turn any room into a cinema with a projector, so I went on and on at my parents for one. They eventually got me a projector for Christmas when I was ten, and I realised I'd made a ridiculous mistake - I'd forgotten to say 'movie' projector; I got a still one.
‐‐ Kevin Brownlow
I realised that you couldn't use the tools of yesterday to communicate today's world. Basically, that was the big light that went on in my head.
‐‐ Damien Hirst
I realised the bohemian life was not for me. I would look around at my friends, living like starving artists, and wonder, 'Where's the art?' They weren't doing anything. And there was so much interesting stuff to do, so much fun to be had... maybe I could even quit renting.
‐‐ P. J. O'Rourke
I realised there were no good role models for kids. Popeye eats spinach, but also smokes and hits people.
‐‐ Magnus Scheving
I realised when I sang at family parties and Christmases I'd suddenly get everyone's attention, and, being the youngest of three, I thought what a brilliant attention-seeking ploy it was.
‐‐ Kiki Dee
I realistically eat every hour and 15 minutes. I watch the clock to see when I eat again. I'm almost upset that I'm not eating now.
‐‐ Michael Todd
I realize as I get older that stand-up is a huge part of who I am. I think I'll do it for the rest of my life.
‐‐ Judy Gold
I realize at one point, that I was being followed, and then I began to see the surveillance that was going past the road on my house. And so, these cars began to surveil me. People began to follow me around, and it did, it was very disrupting to think that your privacy was being violated, and for no reason that I could come up with.
‐‐ Gloria Naylor
I realize everybody wants what they don't have. But at the end of the day, what you have inside is much more beautiful than what's on the outside!
‐‐ Selena Gomez
I realize how desperate it sounds for me, as a comedian, to ask you to laugh at my jokes.
‐‐ John Oliver
I realize how fortunate I have been; mine has been a wonderful life.
‐‐ David Rockefeller
I realize how talented our hair and wardrobe people are every time I have to get dressed on my own.
‐‐ Jon Hamm
I realize how unique my path has been. And I'm thankful for that.
‐‐ Vanessa Paradis
I realize I am contradictory: I have an independent filmmaker's sensibility and a Hollywood director's short-attention span.
‐‐ Doug Liman
I realize I am very privileged. But there's a difference between being spoiled and privileged.
‐‐ Petra Stunt
I realize I can never take my success for granted. It's not attractive for anyone to be like that.
‐‐ Shannon Tweed
I realize I don't do a very good job in keeping up to date, but I try to.
‐‐ Bob Dylan
I realize I have strength as an artist and professional by embracing my difference instead of what makes me the same.
‐‐ Ira Sachs
I realize I lack popular recognition.
‐‐ Michel Temer
I realize I love crazy ladies. Of course I don't like to think of myself as one, but maybe I am, too. I dunno. I'm always drawn to them; I think it's because I'm attracted to people who aren't in the business of people-pleasing: saying what they really think, not passive-aggressive at all.
‐‐ Michaela Watkins
I realize I'm a mirror.
‐‐ Billy Corgan
I realize I'm a very lucky man. I love what I do, I love films, TV and theater, and the fact that I'm able to make a living at it staggers me.
‐‐ Eric Stoltz
I realize I'm an ambitious guy, but I just try to take things as they come, you know, for the most part.
‐‐ Rob Brown
I realize I'm not a machine. I'm going to make mistakes.
‐‐ Fuzzy Zoeller
I realize I'm very fortunate to hopefully make a lot of money playing football. I don't know if I want to abuse that privilege and make myself a larger figure than I am.
‐‐ Andrew Luck
I realize I never stand out in a room unless I'm feeling balanced, centered and happy. It sounds really corny but it's very, very true.
‐‐ Rachel Roy
I realize I stare at everyone, especially when I'm walking down the street. I'm just a curious person.
‐‐ Penn Badgley
I realize I will always be the poster child for police brutality, but I can try to use that as a positive force for healing and restraint.
‐‐ Rodney King
I realize it's a cliche almost, that coming out of the closet is a very healthy and empowering thing to do, but for me, it really has been a truly wonderful thing.
