I was alone a lot as a kid, because my parents were divorced.
‐‐ Danny Strong
I was alone as a child. I lived in fairytales, adventures, Shakespeare. They are the friends, my books.
‐‐ Alejandro Jodorowsky
I was alone for five years. Having a love is a gigantic bonus in life, but I wasn't unhappy when I was single, either.
‐‐ Bo Derek
I was already devouring literature and I was the ripe old age of 15 when I decided to be an actor. I just thought plays were the most fantastic way of expressing life. I thought I'd discovered Shakespeare - 'hey, there's a new guy in town, don't know if anyone's read him.' I was just excited about the whole thing, from day one.
‐‐ Chiwetel Ejiofor
I was already, I think, at the age of 18, showing signs of being incompetent in the lab.
‐‐ Peter Higgs
I was already in a band, and the teachers called my mum in and said: 'Abbey's so clever, it's a total waste if she follows her dream'. But I never wanted to do a job I didn't love, and I'd always wanted to be a model or an actress or a singer.
‐‐ Abbey Clancy
I was already on pole, then by half a second and then one second and I just kept going. Suddenly I was nearly two seconds faster than anybody else, including my team mate with the same car.
‐‐ Ayrton Senna
I was already set for life when I met her.
‐‐ David Gest
I was already writing about the idea of a 'multiverse' in the 1970s, though I might have called it the 'pluriverse.' How was I to know it would turn out to be the standard model? Actually, I consider myself an enlightenment fossil.
‐‐ Charles Jencks
I was already writing 'The Lost Symbol' when I started to realize 'The Da Vinci Code' would be big. The thing that happened to me and must happen to any writer who's had success is that I temporarily became very self-aware.
‐‐ Dan Brown
I was also a big Woody Allen fan. When I got into college I listened to Lenny Bruce but it's taken me years to put him into context historically and really get what he did.
‐‐ Marc Maron
I was also in love with the English language.
‐‐ Dick Schaap
I was also interested in chemistry, but my parents were not willing to buy me a chemistry set.
‐‐ Martin Lewis Perl
I was also interested in formulating the path of chemical reactions.
‐‐ Kenichi Fukui
I was also known as Frodo because I was an early adopter of 'The Lord of the Rings.'
‐‐ Tom Perrotta
I was also lucky to play for an owner, Bud Selig, who truly cared about his players. He'd call me into his office once in a while when he knew things weren't going so well. And it's funny. Every time I left there I always felt like something good was about to happen.
‐‐ Robin Yount
I was also the romantic lead in The Boston Strangler - I was the only one that lived to tell the story - so I called myself the romantic lead.
‐‐ Sally Kellerman
I was also very lucky to be a teammate of two of the greatest players to have ever played the game. I learned very early on by playing for Frank Robinson and with Henry Aaron that even the greatest players in the game were just one of the guys.
‐‐ Robin Yount
I was always a big fan of Charlie Chaplin movies. I love 'The Great Dictator' and 'City Lights.'
‐‐ Jack Reynor
I was always a big fan of Mel Brooks and Carl Reiner's '2000-Year-Old Man' sketch. I think it's one of the biggest influences on the podcast, definitely. You'd never say Carl Reiner was the funniest dude on there, because he's just teeing it up, but he knows what questions to ask to lead to great improv.
‐‐ Scott Aukerman
I was always a big fan of the books and over the years I've become quite attached to Ron and we've meshed into the same person, really.
‐‐ Rupert Grint
I was always a big fan of waiting a year of two to groom an NFL quarterback; let him learn and mature.
‐‐ Terrell Davis
I was always a big James Franco fan.
‐‐ Gia Coppola
I was always a big Justice League fan. I always loved Batman, Superman - I have a weird Martian Manhunter fixation.
‐‐ David Liss
I was always a big reader, even when everything was bad and miserable.
‐‐ Donald Ray Pollock
I was always a big reader, mostly because my parents were.
‐‐ Sarah Dessen
I was always a bit arty-farty as a boy. 'Come on, Mr. Arty-Farty,' my sister used to say to me.
‐‐ Nicolas Roeg
I was always a bit concerned about purity of essence. I never wanted a job that might affect the way I wrote or thought.
‐‐ Nell Zink
I was always a bit different. I had a very happy childhood, but I could never hang on to mates.
‐‐ Gary Numan
I was always a bit of a class clown.
‐‐ Paula Pell
I was always a bit of a jokester.
‐‐ Alison Brie
I was always a bit of a showgirl; it was in my blood. I never thought I would have a career as a singer, though.
‐‐ Neon Hitch
I was always a bit old for my age, then suddenly I'm on set, working alongside the adults, skipping school completely for two years.
‐‐ Richard Madden
I was always a character actor, basically, that sometimes looks like a leading man.
‐‐ John Travolta
I was always a character actor. I just looked like Little Red Riding Hood.
‐‐ Paul Newman
I was always a character actress, even when I was an ingenue. But as you age, people know what to do with you, and you're not quite as dependent on maintaining leading-lady beauty.
‐‐ Marylouise Burke
I was always a class clown, so I never had trouble fitting in; I just had trouble finding out where I really wanted to be.
‐‐ Logan Henderson
I was always a closet blues player.
‐‐ Tito Jackson
I was always a clown. In the eighth grade I won a city speech contest by doing an Eddie Murphy routine. I'm no good at public speaking, but if I can assume a role and speak as that person, then I'm fine. When I had to give a book report, I always did it in character.
‐‐ Jason Wiles
I was always a courageous woman, capable of confronting governments but not men.
‐‐ Jane Fonda
I was always a decent hockey player, but I'd have never made the NHL.
‐‐ Graham DeLaet
I was always a drama queen. I remember playing in the kitchen, trying to get my mom to think I was dead and call the police. When she didn't, I would cry. I was always theatrical. I don't think any of my relatives are surprised.
‐‐ Amy Lee
I was always a dreamer, in childhood especially. People thought I was a little strange.
‐‐ Charley Pride
I was always a fan of Groucho Marx as a kid.
‐‐ Michael Feldman
I was always a fan of horror films as a kid.
‐‐ Jeri Ryan
I was always a fan of Spider-Man and most superheroes. There aren't a whole lot of little boys out there that aren't.
‐‐ Chris Zylka
I was always a fan of the old-style comics. I loved vaudeville. I loved Milton Berle, Dick Shawn, Phyllis Diller, Don Rickles, Charlie Callas, all those guys. Hilarious. I love the Bing Crosby and Bob Hope movies, and Abbott & Costello. My television influences were 'Monty Python's Flying Circus,' 'Benny Hill,' and 'Hee Haw.'
‐‐ Larry the Cable Guy
I was always a filmmaker before I was anything else. If I was always anything, I was a storyteller, and it never really made much of a difference to me what medium I worked in.
‐‐ Nicholas Meyer
I was always a funny guy. I don't think anybody that makes it to this level of stand-up wasn't a funny guy when they were young.
‐‐ Ron White
I was always a God guy.
‐‐ Stephen Baldwin
