‐‐ Lily Collins
I was actually tone deaf until I had tumors in my ears - I had very small ear canals - removed. Once they fixed that, I was actually able to sing in a pleasant manner.
‐‐ Lauren Worsham
I was actually under a lot of heaviness when I was younger. I thought of myself as an old soul. I was very obsessed with death. Basically, I didn't really have a youth - I sublimated all that into my identity and my music.
‐‐ Ariel Pink
I was actually very hesitant to write about Marie Antoinette. She seemed at first glance - well, I cannot think of any other term - an airhead of the first degree.
‐‐ Kathryn Lasky
I was actually very pleased that they let me do it, because I feel very deeply for breast cancer survivors. I don't have it, but it is in my family. I've always been very aware of it. I go for mammograms and checkups.
‐‐ Erika Slezak
I was actually very ugly. I was ugly. I felt very insecure.

‐‐ Kevin Mitnick
I was addicted to playing music.
‐‐ Hunter Hayes
I was addicted to 'The Monkees' TV programme - not so much because of the music but because of the commercials in between. The programme was sponsored by Yardley, and in the commercial breaks, there would be these English girls on roller skates, wearing hot pants, and I just thought, 'God! How neat!'
‐‐ Marie Helvin
I was addicted to the original 'Star Trek' when I was growing up, because of my dad. We grew up in St. Helens, Oregon and we weren't allowed to watch a lot of TV.

I was admired by all these hippies, and it was wonderful playing at Monterey and Woodstock, performing for half a million people.
‐‐ Ravi Shankar
I was admittedly comfortable with Iman Cosmetics being identified as a beauty brand that filled the gap for black women because it was deeply personal for me.
‐‐ Iman
I was adopted by a Salvadorian mother and a white father. Growing up having complete identity crisis. Then my search for my mother and trying to find out why I was given up, and how could a mother give up a child, then finding out the circumstances of my birth was pretty traumatizing.
‐‐ Gina Prince-Bythewood
I was adopted by two amazing people: a Salvadoran mother and a white father who were incredibly supportive of me and my work. I am eternally grateful for them.
‐‐ Gina Prince-Bythewood
I was adopted into this incredible home, a loving, positive environment, yet I had this yearning, this kind of darkness that was also inside me.
‐‐ Faith Hill
I was adopting an Ethiopian child, that's not true. My house was haunted, that wasn't true. God, there's been so many rumours.

‐‐ Victor Cruz
I was afraid if I started to hit home runs, my average would drop.

I was afraid of having to present my big nose to strangers.
‐‐ Violette Leduc
I was afraid of just about everything in this world, with the possible exception of my mother and I wasn't too sure about her.
‐‐ G. Gordon Liddy
I was afraid of Korean food when I moved to L.A., let alone sushi. I remember thinking either sink or swim. Living here in Studio City, Ventura Blvd. is the Mecca of sushi restaurants. What you thought was so exotic is just run of the mill.
‐‐ Parvesh Cheena
I was afraid of not living up to what people expected me to be.

‐‐ George Lucas
I was afraid the other musicians might want to present themselves too much, though I see in the coverage I've received of the album that the musicians got wonderful reviews for their contributions and abilities. I think the four musicians played freely within my limits.
‐‐ Eberhard Weber
I was afraid to express myself for a while.
‐‐ Adam Lambert
I was afterwards sorry for this, though, if I ever travel again, I shall trust to none but natives, as the climate of Africa is too trying to foreigners.

‐‐ Sally Schneider
I was Aladdin, and then I was Captain Von Trapp from 'Sound Of Music' when I was 7 or 8, and then King Arthur. I was always the lead. I've always enjoyed being onstage, acting obnoxious, being someone that wasn't me, hiding behind a character.
‐‐ Christopher Mintz-Plasse
I was alive during the women's lib movement, and I do not remember anyone taking a position against cooking. I think they were talking about other things.

‐‐ Esther Williams
I was all personality and no talent.
‐‐ Ruby Keeler
I was all-state in four sports in New Jersey, but sometimes I couldn't get served at a restaurant two blocks from my high school. There were no job opportunities then... the only thing a black youth could aspire to be was a bellboy or a pullman or an elevator operator, or, maybe, a teacher. There was a time when all we had was black baseball.
‐‐ Monte Irvin
I was allowed to meet my family every two weeks for a half hour.
‐‐ Mordechai Vanunu
I was allowed to ring the bell for five minutes until everyone was in assembly. It was the beginning of power.

‐‐ George Woodcock
I was almost 8 years old when I was watching a kid on a TV commercial, and I told my mom that I wanted to do the same thing. She said that I would need to get an agent and that she would research it.
‐‐ Victoria Justice

‐‐ Jonathan Brownlee
I was almost kind of trapped by my own success into only doing rock.
‐‐ Rick Derringer
I was almost tragically shy, like, clinically. I should've been admitted somewhere. I think my parents knew, but maybe they didn't think much about it. It's hard walking the Earth shy. You miss out on a lot.
