I studied German at school. I lived in Berlin for two years and had a German girlfriend for five years, so I don't find speaking German particularly difficult. Singing was slightly more difficult.
‐‐ Martin Gore
I studied graphic design originally. I used to like drawing, and I was quite into technical drawing. I was always interested in the visual medium, but I thought I was going to be an architect or something like that, but it's quite a lonely job.
‐‐ Asif Kapadia
I studied harmony and composition in a very spontaneous manner.
‐‐ Alejo Carpentier
I studied history when I was at school, at A-level, actually. I wouldn't profess to being very knowledgeable though, no.
‐‐ Kit Harington
I studied Hitchcock a little bit at University and knew the famous story about the Birds - that he'd tortured Tippi for a day using real birds. I had no idea that it was a five-day onslaught and that it was the tip of an iceberg that carried on through to another film.
‐‐ Toby Jones
I studied in a medical college and qualified myself as a medical graduate.
‐‐ Taslima Nasrin
I studied in American school, so yes, I grew up speaking English and Spanish. Obviously, Spanish is my first language.
‐‐ Eiza Gonzalez
I studied in Britain and spent great moments of my life there as a student living in Belsize Park. I admire the British trait of the stiff upper lip in the face of adversity. My wife studied in Britain, too, and both of us have many friends there.
‐‐ Asif Ali Zardari
I studied in New York. I fell in love with an Australian-born, half-Filipina girl. So we moved to Australia when she went to her university and I moved with her. We moved to Montreal because she was going to take her year abroad, and I wanted to see if I could keep on writing there. It's really hard to make it as a writer in the Philippines.
‐‐ Miguel Syjuco
I studied international relations and economics at the University of Virginia. I paid my way by working as a bartender in the summer and at three part-time jobs during the year.
‐‐ Jacqueline Novogratz
I studied international relations in England, and I wanted to pursue higher education and be able to analyze what was going on in Iran politically, not only in Iran, but in the Middle East.
‐‐ Shohreh Aghdashloo
I studied Japanese language and culture in college and graduate school, and afterward went to work in Tokyo, where I met a young man whose father was a famous businessman and whose mother was a geisha. He and I never discussed his parentage, which was an open secret, but it fascinated me.
‐‐ Arthur Golden
I studied Jeet Kune Do and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. On element of Jeet Kune Do is that I had several of years of practice with the kali stick - a stick with a size and length similar to a baseball bat.
‐‐ Jose Pablo Cantillo
I studied journalism at The University of North Carolina - Chapel Hill. I did my graduate work at Emerson in Boston, and I was actually a reporter for a year in New York and New Jersey. It dawned on me that I wasn't cut out for that line of work. I mean... there's a certain thing that really good reports have that I just didn't.
‐‐ Nolan North
I studied journalism at university, and I started a little bit of work on a woman's magazine called Minx that was aimed at 18- to 24-year-olds.
‐‐ Rhianna Pratchett
I studied Judaism a lot. I studied religion in general, and I have never imposed my Judaism on my kids. They are what they want to be. I think... you must care for others. That's the correct religion, I think.
‐‐ Kirk Douglas
I studied Latin in high school, and I was reading stuff from Cicero. And that signal took a few thousand years to get to me. But I was still interested in what he had to say.
‐‐ Seth Shostak
I studied law at university and was sort of grooming myself to go into that kind of career. I filmed 'The Wedge' while studying, which was very difficult, but I'm proud I completed my degree.
‐‐ Rebel Wilson
I studied law at Warwick University, then philosophy at Oxford. I met my wife Leah there. She is American, so I followed her to New York.
‐‐ Adrian McKinty
I studied law, economy, international relations, communications, in order to find what I would do. It's the hardest thing, being 17 and trying to find what to do in life. You've explored so little. I'm lucky: My parents let me explore.
‐‐ Mario Testino
I studied literature and Italian at Yale. I wrote my thesis about Italo Svevo, one of my heroes.
‐‐ Nathaniel Rich
I studied literature design and fashion design.
‐‐ Danielle Steel
I studied martial arts before I studied dance.
‐‐ Robert Battle
I studied math, and I was terrible at it.
‐‐ Yair Lapid
I studied Morse code.
‐‐ Adam Driver
I studied movies for many years, but I am professionally an actor because I, my background is actually a stage actor and acting.
‐‐ Tommy Wiseau
I studied music at the most remedial level when I was a kid, through the Los Angeles public schools, with a little private instruction.
‐‐ Flea
I studied music formally. I was probably less formal about my study of acting than anything.
‐‐ David Carradine
I studied music; I studied theater. I went to school for it, so I kind of treat it in that manner, that whether or not I can hang out, I've always been the one to go in my room and chill.
‐‐ Cherrelle
I studied my craft at the same place as Nicki Minaj.
‐‐ Awkwafina
I studied neuroscience at the cellular level, so I was looking at learning and memory in the visual cortex of rats. Neuroscience mainly exposed me to a way of thinking - about experimentation, about what you believe to be true and how you could prove it - and how to approach things in a methodical manner.
‐‐ Ze Frank
I studied one term of law and then came to realize I had a little better fastball and curve than I did a vocabulary.
‐‐ Ted Lyons
I studied philosophy and ended on sociology. For some reason, all the advanced courses in philosophy were offered 4:30 to 6:30, so I could never go because of football, so I had to switch.
‐‐ Lawrence Jackson
I studied philosophy at Columbia, then dropped out to do drama at the Lee Strasberg Institute.
‐‐ Margherita Missoni
I studied philosophy, religious studies, and English. My training was writing four full-length novels and hiring an editor to tear them apart. I had enough money to do that, and then rewriting and rewriting and rewriting.
‐‐ Ted Dekker
I studied photography at Bard, but I just felt tired of it. Someone asked me to be in a video but didn't want to be in it, so they told me to make my own, and that seemed more fun to me.
‐‐ Gia Coppola
I studied physical therapy, and I started to study theater because my aunt is a theater director.
‐‐ Miguel Angel Silvestre
I studied piano for many years, and I still play. I'm a complete amateur, and I wouldn't consider myself very good at all, but I enjoy it.
‐‐ Eric Stoltz
I studied poetry in college and for a year in an MFA program. As time went on, my poems got more and more complicated. What I was really trying to do was tell stories.
‐‐ Jennifer McMahon
I studied political science and international relations and had the intention of becoming a journalist or work in foreign affairs. I had no intention of making a film.
‐‐ Philippe Falardeau
I studied political science and international relations, so I never considered myself an artist.
‐‐ Philippe Falardeau
I studied psychology for a couple of years as a personal hobby, so you start learning about people and listening to your intuition, like when you you're feeling that people are not being entirely straight with you.
‐‐ Afrojack
I studied really hard. But Hollywood never appreciated my talent.
‐‐ Mamie Van Doren
I studied revolutions at university, and I think each revolution must begin with a moment of 'no.' If enough people have that moment at the same time, it becomes a movement.
‐‐ Nick Harkaway
I studied science and journalism at the University of Colorado and then got interested in experimental film there and started doing my own films.
‐‐ Eric Darnell
I studied screenwriting at film school and was constantly learning how to construct three-act dramas.
‐‐ Tobias Lindholm
I studied secondary education.
‐‐ Jim McKay
I studied Shakespeare all through high school. Both of my parents teach English and history, so it has always been around my experience as a young man.
‐‐ Xavier Samuel
I studied Shakespeare in college, but not theatrically, more in terms of literature, and then I kind of took a break from it. Now there's resurgence in my appreciation for him. It's amazing: there are so many book titles and song titles that come just from lines that he wrote.
‐‐ Julia Stiles
I studied structured improv, where you start from one position and see where it takes you. I like spontaneity. If you set yourself up to do the same thing every night, you may not connect as well to a different audience.
