I've never taken vocal lessons. My early trumpet training and a fortunate talent for singing has always been enough for me. In the case of rock singing, I've always felt it was better to remain a bit untrained to maintain your individuality.
‐‐ Ronnie James Dio
I've never talked to our guys about being young. That's an easy crutch to fall on. You really just have to come in and build the spirit up of your team by working them everyday, showing them examples of what they've done and reinforce their work.
‐‐ Scott Brooks
I've never thought about any kind of prejudice about women in country music because I never felt like it affected me. I was fortunate enough to come about in a time when I didn't feel that kind of energy at all, and it was always my theory that if you want to play in the same ballgame as the boys, you've got to work as hard as them.
‐‐ Taylor Swift
I've never thought about it before, but I suppose bad people might need someone to pray to, too.
‐‐ Karl Pilkington
I've never thought about it in training, 'If I do this, then maybe I can be on the SPOTY shortlist.'
‐‐ Lizzie Armitstead
I've never thought about songwriting as a weapon. I've only thought about it as a way to help me get through love and loss and sadness and loneliness and growing up.
‐‐ Taylor Swift
I've never thought about the ages of my readers.
‐‐ David Macaulay
I've never thought about the end of my career. I've had this growing motto in my life to live day to day - and when you live day to day, it's hard to talk years.
‐‐ Troy Polamalu
I've never thought I wanted to quit in my research. I would always fail in experiments, which I did at least three times a day.
‐‐ Hiroshi Amano
I've never thought in terms of 'men do this' and 'women do that.'
‐‐ Carly Fiorina
I've never thought intelligence was age-related.
‐‐ Michael De Luca
I've never thought of acting as rocket science - you put on the costume, get your hair cut, and that's it, really.
‐‐ Marc Warren
I've never thought of it consciously... I say exactly what I think, and very often it's totally politically incorrect. I get, always, chastised for it. So it's not shtick. But I think I'm the one who says, 'The emperor has no clothes.'
‐‐ Joan Rivers
I've never thought of my characters as being sad. On the contrary, they are full of life. They didn't choose tragedy. Tragedy chose them.
‐‐ Juliette Binoche
I've never thought of my name at the top of the marquee in any particular terms other than, you know, slight bewilderment.
‐‐ Bobby Keys
I've never thought of myself as a classic leading man. I'm a character actor who happens to play leading roles. Come on, look at me. I'm really Desperate Dan.
‐‐ James Nesbitt
I've never thought of myself as a female engineer or founder or a woman in tech. I just think of myself as someone who's passionate.
‐‐ Leah Busque
I've never thought of myself as a writer. I still don't, despite all the writing I've done.
‐‐ Rhys Darby
I've never thought that what I do as an actor does anything for anybody, other than making them laugh once in a while.
‐‐ Geoff Stults
I've never told anyone this before, but I'm an obsessive-compulsive. I go back to my hotel room every evening and put the coat hangers back in order and open my bag and rearrange it. It takes a lot of my time, but if I don't do it I can't sleep.
‐‐ Freida Pinto
I've never told anyone this. But I suffer from terrible stage fright. True. You can't tell though, can you? Unbelievable, the panic. I nearly die of fear before I go on stage. Something wicked. I can't eat a thing the day before a gig. It'd make me vomit.
‐‐ John Lydon
I've never told you the story of Alice in Wonderland, have I?
‐‐ Edgar Bergen
I've never trained as an actor. I've always thought I'm not a good actor. I've been told I'm not a good actor by a lot of people.
‐‐ Jo Brand
I've never traveled to promote anything I've been in. I've only been to about two or three premieres. The way I work, I do bits, and then I'm off to something else, whether it's theater or another project.
‐‐ Ciaran Hinds
I've never treated anyone badly or in a discriminatory way based on their gender, race, religion or sexuality - period.
‐‐ Mel Gibson
I've never treated anyone in my band like they're not on the same level as me. I'm not that kind of person.
‐‐ Marilyn Manson
I've never tried to achieve anything. I achieved everything I wanted to achieve by being in the Rolling Stones and making records.
‐‐ Keith Richards
I've never tried to be anything but me. Even with Slipknot, where it can almost feel like a roll sometimes, it's still a part of who I am. It's a very strong and passionate part of who I am, and I'm lucky enough to have an audience that is really open to what I do.
‐‐ Corey Taylor
I've never tried to be something I'm not.
‐‐ Vincent D'Onofrio
I've never tried to block out the memories of the past, even though some are painful. I don't understand people who hide from their past. Everything you live through helps to make you the person you are now.
‐‐ Sophia Loren
I've never tried to define my states of mind when I write.
‐‐ Adrienne Kennedy
I've never tried to do couture, because it's a whole different beast.
‐‐ Tommy Hilfiger
I've never tried to emulate anyone. I've never idolized people, I prefer instead to get off on attitudes.
‐‐ Michael Hutchence
I've never tried to enhance my reputation. Never moved upwards from one thing to another. That sort of thing is of no interest to me at all.
‐‐ Nicolas Roeg
I've never tried to find my real parents. I'm very grateful to my mum and dad for adopting me - they're completely incredible people. It was my dad who encouraged me to question everything, to forge my own path, to think, to read. I always felt it was my right to question everything.
‐‐ Dan Stevens
I've never tried to learn the art of acting. I have been in the business for years but I still can't tell what acting is or how it's done.
‐‐ Paul Muni
I've never tried to manipulate my image.
‐‐ Alan Alda
I've never tried to measure myself on any scale. A person is more multifaceted than the label they often get stuck with. On the other hand someone's whole behaviour allows you to characterise them in a certain way. This person has liberal convictions, that person has conservative ones, this person is a radical socialist, and so on.
‐‐ Dmitry Medvedev
I've never tried to pass myself off as anything more than a comedian who wrote a dating book.
‐‐ Greg Behrendt
I've never tried to reach a certain demographic of an audience or try to say, 'OK, now I'm going to do this type of film to transition myself into more adult roles.' Or a romantic hero. Or whatever it may be - you know what I mean?
‐‐ Leonardo DiCaprio
I've never tried to run away from my race. I was born a black man. You know that in your bones as soon as you are able to understand this country... My approach to life about race is, I don't see the difference between black people and white people.
‐‐ Edward Brooke
I've never tried too hard.
‐‐ Chiara Ferragni
I've never turned down an autograph request. I've never not taken a picture with someone.
‐‐ George Hamilton
I've never turned into a bee - I've never been chased by a mummy or met a ghost. But many of the ideas in my books are suggested by real life.
‐‐ R. L. Stine
I've never turned my back on country music.
‐‐ Reba McEntire
I've never turned over a fig leaf yet that didn't have a price tag on the other side.
‐‐ Saul Bellow
I've never turned to anybody for advice and counsel. Even when I was a very small child, I had to stand on my feet because of the circumstances of those times, and somehow, the circumstances have remained more or less the same. I have to take my own decisions.
‐‐ Indira Gandhi
I've never understood activity holidays since we seem to have far too much activity in our daily lives as it is. Find a culture where loafing is the order of the day and where they don't understand our need to be constantly doing things. Find somewhere you can have a hammock holiday.
‐‐ Tom Hodgkinson
I've never understood having crushes on people who you don't know in real life.
‐‐ Emma Watson
