I've asked every grammar schoolteacher in the nation to have their students write on the meaning of the Statue of Liberty. Wouldn't it be wonderful if the winning kid got up to the microphone and, in front of the world, had to dig into a pocket to pull out a crumpled sheet of paper containing the words that would move us all?

‐‐ Paul Gosar
I've asked these guys in rock bands with all the 18-wheelers driving to the venue how they make money. I just don't understand it. But I don't understand a lot of things.
‐‐ Ron White
I've asked to go back into theaters and smaller venues because to me, in smaller venues I can really demonstrate my commitment to quality. Theaters are great containers for music.
‐‐ Jason Mraz
I've at times in my past been so unhappy, and thought, like, 'I would give anything for this not to be happening.' And, you know, as people say, time passes, and then you think, 'I'm kind of glad that happened to me.'
‐‐ Susan Choi
I've attended many concerts where I felt let down and I was wishing it would be something else. Not that it's their duty to please me, but at the same time, I think a lot about what it's like through the eyes of the consumer, the fan. I want not to pander to the audience, but to be aware of them.
‐‐ Trent Reznor
I've auctioned off many scripts and will continue to do so for good causes.
‐‐ Claudia Christian
I've auditioned for animation stuff for a long time; that's a tough field to crack into. I don't think I have the strongest voice. I don't have a theater-trained voice or a radio voice, but I think I make good character choices.
‐‐ Brian Huskey
I've auditioned for musicals a lot, but I think my voice didn't really match what they were looking for. I went to school for musical theater for a year and dropped out. Legit musicals are not quite my forte.

I've auditioned for normal characters. But I never get cast.
‐‐ Jared Harris
I've auditioned for pretty much every one of my father's movies.
‐‐ Scott Eastwood
I've auditioned for roles that involved voice, but I don't like it. I feel like, I can't do this in front of you. It seems so separate - I don't share it with a lot of people. And I'm not into public performances.

‐‐ Lauren Bowles
I've basically thought of myself as a writer, whether I was or not.
‐‐ Bob Schieffer
I've battled my weight since I was 12. My parents took to us to New York once, for a holiday, and there I'd buy fruit loops from a 24x7 shop and sit down with my books. I never played; I wasn't that kind of kid - I just read. I ate chocolates like peanuts. I was 86kg till I was 19.
‐‐ Sonam Kapoor
I've battled with that type of stuff, but what I've found is that by doing stand-up, I've actually learned about depression and how to combat it. I don't have clinical, but I've definitely had my bouts with it.

I've become a day writer: most people start as night writers, and I used to be, but something happened to my endocrine system. I do miss the 3 A.M. writing jags.
‐‐ Douglas Coupland
I've become a less brave traveller since I became a dad, but in the past I was more foolhardy than brave.
‐‐ David Mitchell
I've become a lot more relaxed about my career, but maybe that's a part of growing up. I realise there are things I hold dear and value, aside from professional achievements.
‐‐ Martin Henderson
I've become a lot more tolerant; I think before I talk. I can take a lot now. I don't get as angry as I used to. Whenever I do, I channel my anger into my work.
‐‐ Anurag Kashyap
I've become a master of the apology.
‐‐ Letitia Baldrige
I've become a much more serious young insect.
‐‐ Andrew Denton
I've become a produce snob. I like to eat food that's in season.
‐‐ Anton du Beke
I've become a professional failure - in order to pay the mortgage I have to remain unemployed. Luckily, a disaster always seems to befall me at exactly the right moment.
‐‐ Toby Young
I've become a real housewife. Terry doesn't mind me working, in fact he loves me to be independent. But I only get an allowance of $15 dollars a week, which doesn't go very far.
‐‐ Marta Kristen
I've become a representative of the American Diabetes Association, and then I just became national spokesman for the American Heart Association for a campaign called The Heart of Diabetes, which brings the awareness of cardio-vascular disease to diabetics.
‐‐ Stephen Furst
I've become a true Muslim. It's giving me happiness. It's made me become content as a man and helped me to grow. I've just got faith in it, and it has definitely helped me become the man I am today.

‐‐ Claire Holt
I've become completely well adjusted to being a cult figure.
‐‐ Lou Reed
I've become convinced that Los Angeles is going to become the next contemporary art capital - no other city has more contemporary gallery space than Los Angeles. We've come into our own, finally.
‐‐ Eli Broad
I've become fascinated by the idea that it's really achievable to make two or three small improvements in a week and by the end of the year, it's 150 improvements.
‐‐ Darrell Hammond
I've become friends with Michael Mann and Oliver Stone; I've seen those guys work and that was great to see.
‐‐ Antoine Fuqua
I've become good friends with Lena Dunham, and the thing I had in common with Lena when I was 24 is I was as ambitious as she was. What we don't have in common is that I was not as talented. My voice was not as clearly defined.
‐‐ Mike Birbiglia
I've become impossible, holding on to when everything seemed to matter more.
