I was always afraid to write music.
‐‐ Dory Previn
I was always amazed about how much I could finally squeeze into a thirty second commercial.
‐‐ Ridley Scott
I was always ambitious - not to make money: to be published.
‐‐ Edmund White
I was always an avid reader of books. My vocabulary, my English are all thanks to that reading habit. Reading keeps me grounded. I came from a very middle class family - poor, in fact.
‐‐ Madhur Bhandarkar
I was always an entertainer.
‐‐ Chad Michael Murray
I was always an exhibitionist. I liked it when everyone laughed. But I didn't do plays in high school. I was too nervous.
‐‐ Marcia Gay Harden
I was always an independent, even when I had partners.
‐‐ Samuel Goldwyn
I was always an introvert as a kid. Then, when I first kind of came out as a human being, I used to be one of those guys who'd go nuts on the dance floor, and people would gather around.
‐‐ Daryl Hall
I was always an MMO fan. I'm playing 'World of Warcraft' in the clubhouse, and J.D. Drew and Coco Crisp saw me playing. They came over and got interested, and they wound up creating accounts.
‐‐ Curt Schilling
I was always an observer, even as a child. I could be satisfied to sit in a car for 3 hours and just look at the street go by while my mother went shopping.
‐‐ Jonathan Winters
I was always an odd girl; I managed to alienate a lot of people. I felt like a square peg in a round hole in the music industry and created a lot of neurosis for myself.
‐‐ Alison Moyet
I was always an Olsen. I never thought of myself as a Brady. I never actually wanted to be a Brady. I always preferred my own family to the Bradys.
‐‐ Susan Olsen
I was always an outsider, always standing outside, observing and trying to figure things out. Which is exactly what you need to do as a writer, I suppose.
‐‐ Monica Ali
I was always an overachiever.
‐‐ Donna Rice
I was always anti-marriage. I didn't understand monogamy. I couldn't figure out how that could last. And then I met Bryn and I started to understand the beauty of constancy and history and change and going on the roller coaster with someone - of having a partner in life.
‐‐ Maria Bello
I was always Armie. There couldn't be a 90-year-old Armand and a 9-day-old one. And I heard enough jokes about baking soda.
‐‐ Armie Hammer
I was always artistic - right from childhood - but my love of painting came a bit later. It followed my love of music.

‐‐ Jed S. Rakoff
I was always attracted to the past as a kid.
‐‐ Stanley Tucci
I was always aware of 'Doctor Who,' but I didn't grow up with it.
‐‐ Matt Smith
I was always aware of what the language I was using meant in terms of my bond with my parents - how it defined the lines of affection between us. When I spoke English, I felt I wasn't completely their child any more but the child of another language.
‐‐ Jhumpa Lahiri
I was always aware that this whole Earth is on overload.
‐‐ Ridley Scott
I was always behind in class. There was people in my class who was amazing at art, amazing at maths, amazing at English, but I wasn't clever with anything, even though I tried my hardest.
‐‐ Amy Childs
I was always being called upon to be an honorary boy alongside my brothers. I don't think I'd be a comic now if it hadn't been for that.
‐‐ Jo Brand
I was always being told off at school. The teachers would say: 'Everyone's talking, but you're the one I can hear.'
‐‐ Beth Ditto
I was always bigger than the other girls. My sisters are very, very beautiful and very skinny, and I've always had a more muscular body. So I grew up with a different mentality.
‐‐ Gina Carano
I was always bit of a jock.
‐‐ Duncan Jones
I was always blessed growing up with opportunities and access to facilities, equipment, and playing with my brothers in the backyard to be the best athlete I could be.
‐‐ Rob Gronkowski
I was always bossy as a kid. I made my friends do shows that I wrote and would take them on tour from house to house.
‐‐ Casey Nicholaw
I was always brought up that if you can make a difference, you should, and if you don't it's a waste. So we'll see if I can make a difference.
‐‐ David Miliband
I was always brought up to have a cup of tea at halfway up a rock face.
‐‐ Bear Grylls
I was always called Payne or Payno.
‐‐ Liam Payne
I was always cast doing something athletic. I can't do a cartwheel.
‐‐ Tori Spelling
I was always complaining that there weren't enough good people going into public service, so I figured I had to get behind someone I found so compelling.
‐‐ Mona Sutphen
I was always concerned with writing to my age at a particular moment. That was the way I would keep faith with the audience that supported me as I went along.
‐‐ Bruce Springsteen
I was always confident in my art and in myself as an artist.
‐‐ Kim Weston
I was always confident that I knew. I never expected this.
‐‐ Alfredo Stroessner
I was always crazy about New York, dependent on it, scared of it - well, it is dangerous - but beyond that there was the pressure of being young and of not yet having done work you really liked, trademark work, breakthrough work.
‐‐ Harold Brodkey
I was always curious about motivation and intention, and really, that's a lot of what acting is.
‐‐ Liev Schreiber
I was always curious about the anxiety a person would feel when you open your mouth and you have an accent. You could have a Ph.D. or be a lawyer, but as soon as you say something, you may be diminished in the eyes of someone else.
‐‐ Dinaw Mengestu
I was always cutting dialogue out when we were rehearsing, and when I produced movies, too. I felt that people don't say things in life - they act, they do things. I always wanted my characters doing, rather than saying what they were doing - which was redundant.
‐‐ Donna Mills
I was always cycling for my dad. Then the coaches got bigger, and my results got better. Suddenly, the responsibility grows, and I'm doing it for somebody else, I'm doing it for a programme; I'm doing it for the country. I'm doing it for, like, everybody.
‐‐ Victoria Pendleton
I was always dancing and acrobatics was my specialty.
‐‐ Betsey Johnson
I was always daydreaming about singing in big productions on Broadway.
‐‐ Kate Smith
