I've been out with lots of other artists opening for them on tour, and you just learn that none of their success came easy - it was all hard work for them, and you have to buckle down and get ready for the hard work yourself, too.
‐‐ Luke Bryan
I've been out with men who have literally had an argument with the mirror because they couldn't get their hair right. When I was younger, I might have reassured him, but I can't do that anymore.
‐‐ Cat Deeley
I've been out with some extremely beautiful women who have had no sex appeal whatsoever. It really is a lot more than skin deep.
‐‐ Rod Stewart
I've been outspent by my opponents every time I've run for U.S. Senate.
‐‐ Russ Feingold
I've been overweight all my life.
‐‐ Roberta Flack
I've been overwhelmed; I was a single mother for a time.
‐‐ Kelly Lynch
I've been painting and drawing and taking pictures as long as I've been writing music - and I've actually been drawing longer than I've been writing music.
‐‐ Brandon Boyd
I've been painting and making things since I was little.
‐‐ Jemima Kirke
I've been painting off and on since I was in sixth grade. I don't paint when I'm acting - I'm not really able to split my focus that way. I do it intensely when I'm doing it, but I'm reluctant to take myself too seriously as a painter because that would mean there would be pressure to be better than I am.
‐‐ Michelle Pfeiffer
I've been part of a team and leader of the team. But wherever I've been, I've worked as if that was the only opportunity I had. I've never looked beyond that.
‐‐ Guler Sabanci
I've been part of five different bands in my time.
‐‐ Theo James
I've been part of founding three companies that have gone public. It doesn't seem like a big number, but it's actually a lot.
‐‐ Eric Lefkofsky
I've been part of running a label since I was a kid, so I understand how it works. But the more and more I learn about it, the less and less interested I am in it.
‐‐ Conor Oberst
I've been paying a lot of money in state income taxes, and I've been happy to do it, but when this last thing happened, this 50 percent increase in the tax rate, it was just too much.
‐‐ Tom Golisano
I've been paying alimony since I was 14 and child support since 15. That's a joke, but not by much.
‐‐ Don Adams
I've been perfectly happily married for 25 years, and have a nice life. Inane things don't interest me.
‐‐ Geezer Butler
I've been performing my whole life.
‐‐ Shania Twain
I've been performing my whole life. My mom signed me up for a theater program when I was five - I was the evil queen in 'Once Upon a Mattress.'
‐‐ Lilla Crawford
I've been performing on stage since I was six years old.
‐‐ Jewel
I've been performing since 1955. I'm going to have to keep performing till I die because I'm not going to die in some rocking chair with a big ol' beer belly.
‐‐ Dick Dale
I've been performing since I came out of the womb. I've been dancing and singing since I was a toddler. Acting seemed like a natural progression from that.
‐‐ Mary Elizabeth Winstead
I've been performing since I was a child; my mother would have to pull me aside and tell me that I wasn't onstage. I was a cheerleader, president of choir, and in the school play.
‐‐ Aja Naomi King
I've been performing since I was in high school, so I've seen people react to my music and my playing. I'm always appreciative when people like the music, but I'm not shocked.
‐‐ Kenny G
I've been performing since I was very little, about three years old. I was inspired at first by the MTV artists of the '80s and started putting on 'shows' in the apartment, most of them set to Michael Jackson's 'Bad' album. In my mind, there was a full lighting rig behind me... but it was just a couch.
‐‐ Erich Bergen
I've been picked on my whole entire life, and I feel like I started the IAmMoreThan campaign on Instagram to try to find other people who have been bullied and totally overcame it and did something amazing with it.
‐‐ Kylie Jenner
I've been pilloried so many times that I begin to expect it now.
‐‐ Morrissey
I've been planning a chunk of time to myself for years now. It's been my intention to finish 'Astonishing X-Men,' 'I Am Legion' and 'Planetary' and then sort of 'disappear' from doing comic interiors for a couple of years. I'll pop up here and there with a short story or two, old promises to friends and all, but no major series work.
‐‐ John Cassaday
I've been planted here to be a vessel for acting... That's why I'm really taking any part, regardless of how complicated it's going to be.
‐‐ Leonardo DiCaprio
I've been playing a guitar since I was 10 years old.
‐‐ Mac Miller
I've been playing against older and stronger competition my whole life. It has made me a better tennis player and able to play against this kind of level despite their strength and experience.
‐‐ Maria Sharapova
I've been playing American football since I was six years old. I was a captain of my high school team, playing strong safety.
‐‐ Gabriel Luna
I've been playing baseball since I was 5 or 6 years old. I've been on a schedule, pretty much, since I was in eighth, ninth grade. I look forward to not doing that.
‐‐ Derek Jeter
I've been playing both sides of the law my entire career. It's not really surprising for me to be doing opposing sides simultaneously. I would argue that even though my character on 'Hawaii Five-0' originated on the wrong side of the law, I'd say he's worked his way over to the good side.
‐‐ Ian Anthony Dale
I've been playing concerts for many years, and it's still as exciting as it was the first time. I hope that shows when I'm performing.

I've been playing 'Doom' for some years.

I've been playing games for 30 years, and I've been a hard-core gamer.

I've been playing golf as long as I've been dancing, since I was 13 or 14. I play off six. I like to get out on a golf course as often as I can.
‐‐ Anton du Beke
I've been playing hand-held video games since 1995. Its my way of training my brain.
‐‐ Marilyn Minter
I've been playing music all my life, from being a choir soloist at Symphony Hall as a youngster to playing in bands through high school and college at Kent State. Went in the service at 17, out before I was 21.
‐‐ Arthur Godfrey
I've been playing music for over 20 years now. I started playing when I was 14 years old. To everyone who has said I was an overnight success... where have you been the last 20 years?
‐‐ Randy Houser
I've been playing music since I was 12. I love performing live.
‐‐ Jonathan Jackson
I've been playing music since I was born.
‐‐ Chord Overstreet
I've been playing my instrument since I was about three or four. That's when I started banging around on the piano, trying to be like The Beatles.
‐‐ Nat Wolff
I've been playing old parts forever. I play 93 quite often. When you've done it more than once, you take the hint. I think it's a great burden if you're one of those fantastic stars who've always been beautiful; then I think it's hard.
‐‐ Maggie Smith
I've been playing on Christmas for the last 10, 11, 12 years. So just got to get up early with the babies, and give them their toys and try to get a nap in and just come to play.
‐‐ Shaquille O'Neal
I've been playing piano my whole life, but I'd never tried to understand how compositions are made, really. Try to imagine if you'd loved paintings your whole life but had never painted one. My aspiration now is just to understand.
‐‐ Caio Fonseca
I've been playing rock and roll since I was 16 years old, and now I have a 16-year-old.
‐‐ Billie Joe Armstrong
I've been playing sexually aware women most of my life. At this point I expected to be playing moms and wives. It's exciting to play a femme fatale.
‐‐ Kim Cattrall
