‐‐ Neil Patrick Harris
I was a big fan of Indiana Jones; then I realized he was kind of a fake hero. The real heroes are the people who work hard and do their stuff right, like firefighters and policemen.
‐‐ Nathan Gamble
I was a big fan of Jean-Claude Van-Damme growing up, and I always wanted to be a martial artist 'cause of him.
‐‐ Georges St-Pierre

By the time I got to the second one, I couldn't watch them fast enough. I got on the phone that night, called Time Warner cable and ordered HBO right then.
‐‐ Denis O'Hare
I was a big fan of 'Star Trek.' But then again, you know, 'Star Trek', 'Star Wars', 'Doctor Who', I wasn't a big fan, but you know, when they ask you and they cast you and it drops in your lap, how can you say no to these franchises.
‐‐ Deep Roy
I was a big fan of Super Troopers, so working with the Broken Lizard guys was so much fun.
‐‐ Olivia Munn

‐‐ Emir Kusturica
I was a big Fred Flintstone fan.
‐‐ Seth MacFarlane

I was a big Mickey Rourke fan in his first incarnation. I thought that at the time he was America's greatest screen actor.
‐‐ Jamie Sives
I was a big music fan, but I never bought a bunch of records or was very educated, I guess, on who was who or what was what.
‐‐ Sam Hunt
I was a big Nancy Drew reader. Nancy figures it out. Case closed.
‐‐ Sarah Vowell
I was a big Oasis fan.

I was a big 'Planet of The Apes' fan, so I was really excited about being in it. I had a really good time. I liked wearing all that stuff, and I liked playing the part.
‐‐ Paul Giamatti
I was a big reader as a child. My father is a great book lover and a librarian, but he forbid me to read bad literature. I was not allowed to read Nancy Drew or books like that. I often say to him that me becoming a crime author is both a way of pleasing him and annoying him.

I was a big shiny, glittery-type person. Now I'm a jeans and T-shirt girl, or I'll wear sun dresses and cowboy boots in the summer. But at first I had to have stylists tell me, 'That's ugly.'
‐‐ Miranda Lambert
I was a big tomboy.
‐‐ Selena Gomez
I was a big Transformers fan.
‐‐ Brad Delson

I was a big Who fan when I was 15, 16 years old, and I used to go watch them play at the Marquee Club in London as often as I could.

‐‐ Michael Steger
I was a bit challenged when I was younger to stay on the right path.
‐‐ Dwayne Johnson
I was a bit odd as a kid, because there were so little outlets for me. There was no theatre except for the odd community theatre and school shows. The only movie theatre was at the Canadian Forces Base nearby in Comox, so it either showed kiddie flicks for the families and restricted stuff for the men.
‐‐ Kim Cattrall
I was a bit odd. I read books and wanted to draw and go to art school.

I was a bit of a delinquent growing up, a very poor student - I nearly failed several grades before dropping out of high school and getting a G.E.D. But I still read a lot. Thrillers and war novels, mostly, along with the occasional literary novel from my parents' bookshelf.
‐‐ Philipp Meyer
I was a bit of a goofball. I was always silly. I think that lends itself to being an actor.
‐‐ Rob McClure
I was a bit of a handful when I was a kid because I was quite hyperactive. Even in the house my mum used to put me in my pram because I was so full-on.
‐‐ Zayn Malik
I was a bit of a late developer, and everyone was saying, 'Whatever you do, don't shave,' and I hadn't really started shaving. I remember rubbing the soot from a kettle on to my bumfluff to make it look more like I had a beard.
‐‐ Rory McCann
I was a bit of a loner as a teenager. I never went to a single social event, because they terrified me.
‐‐ Mia Wasikowska
I was a bit of a loner at school because I was into what I was into, that sort of scene; that is where the whole mod thing started, when I was 14-15.
