I was at a rough high school where admitting you were an actor didn't go down well.
‐‐ Richard Madden
I was at a school in England, a prep school, from the ages of 8 and 13. And every play they did was a musical. Parents love musicals. And I don't sing. It was driving me crazy. 'We're doing 'Macbeth.' 'Yes!' 'The musical!' And I was always in the chorus, because of course, in all the main parts, you had to be able to sing.
‐‐ Charlie Cox
I was at a Thai restaurant when 'i hate u, i love u' hit the million-listen mark. It was weird because nothing else I released before had gotten that high at all.
‐‐ Gnash
I was at a U2 concert and someone asked me if my hair color was real... I thought to myself, if I had $1 for every time someone asked me this, I would be very rich.
‐‐ Angie Everhart
I was at an acting academy for seven years prior to the trial.
‐‐ Kato Kaelin
I was at an all-girls' school, so there were a lot of us who were really awkward. I was this tall when I was 11, so I was really awkward and self-conscious. No one would really have wanted to be mean to me. I was too unimportant.
‐‐ Sigourney Weaver
I was at college doing performing arts, and just spending all my time mucking about, and the lecturers thought I would be pretty good at stand-up, so I gave it a whirl.
‐‐ Allan Carr
I was at college studying psychology, philosophy, textiles and drama. But because I wasn't one of those all-singing, all-dancing stage-school kids, I just assumed I'd never become an actor.
‐‐ Kathryn Prescott
I was at dinner with Gene Wilder and imitated Ethel Barrymore for everyone.
‐‐ Dom DeLuise
I was at Disney for about four years, so I made good friends there. It was a time of not a lot of creativity. It was the end of the first great era, with a few of the original animators. They called them the Nine Old Men. I learned a lot from them, but it wasn't going to be a future home for me.
‐‐ Henry Selick
I was at Emily Carr College of Art and Design in Vancouver for four years, and I loved it.
‐‐ Douglas Coupland
I was at first but I mean I thought at first that I wanted a little bit of that in there but the reasoning behind what they cut and what they kept really makes sense and it really played for me when I saw it yesterday, it all worked and was understood.
‐‐ Brandon Routh
I was at Ford for 32 years. I went to Chrysler in 1978, four or five months after I got canned by Henry Ford.
‐‐ Lee Iacocca
I was at Ground Zero, and it was, to me, such a graphic illustration of what terrorism has done to our world.
‐‐ Gloria Macapagal Arroyo
I was at Harvard with a whole bunch of poets, and that was very rare. They published a lot of books because there was an excitement after the war that translated into poetry.
‐‐ Donald Hall
I was at Home Depot with my dad looking for paint when I got the call to open for Taylor Swift. That was wild, because I was crying in Home Depot, and people were looking at me funny.
‐‐ Charlie Worsham
I was at home then in the world of figures, but not in that of values.
‐‐ Georg Brandes
I was at La Fenice opera house back in 1991 with friends, and we started talking about a conductor whom none of us liked. Somehow there was an escalation, and we started talking about how to kill him, where to kill him. This struck me as a good idea for a book.
‐‐ Donna Leon
I was at lunch with some friends one day, and we looked down at our table - blond pasta, blond pizza - and then someone joked, 'Blonde salad,' and it stuck.
‐‐ Chiara Ferragni
I was at MSNBC; I was constantly saying to them during Bridgegate, 'You've convicted Governor Christie without one iota of fact attaching him to the decision to stall the traffic on the bridge. Why don't we wait until the federal government or the state government... completes its investigation.'
‐‐ Tom Brokaw
I was at my best at a little past forty, when I was a professor at Oxford.
‐‐ G. H. Hardy
I was at my father's office, and I'd be in the back of his office, building Lego skyscrapers, as he was negotiating million-dollar deals.
‐‐ Eric Trump
I was at number one in Australia with both my album and my single. And then I was told I had cancer. I thought, 'What a strange turn of events.'
‐‐ Delta Goodrem
I was at one time a football wife, and there is a certain level of bonding that happens between women who are the wives of football players.
‐‐ Gabrielle Union
I was at our beautiful home in Martha's Vineyard, near Boston, sitting on the porch looking at the ocean when I got a phone called and was asked, 'Would I like to do 'CSI'?' A week later, I'm at a coroner's office in Las Vegas, participating in a quadruple autopsy.
‐‐ Ted Danson
I was at Pepperdine University in Malibu, and during my sophomore year, I played a dying burn victim on 'ER.' The makeup artist put burn makeup all over my body and I couldn't move or eat for 12 hours. I lost 8 pounds that week.
‐‐ Eric Christian Olsen
I was at sea the other day and loads of meat floated past. It was a bit choppy.
‐‐ Tim Vine
I was at Second City L.A., going through the conservatory, and I graduated in 2004 and I got 'SNL' in 2005.
‐‐ Bill Hader
I was at Stanford University up in the West Coast Bay Area, so the biggest song of my freshman year was 'I Got 5 on It' by Luniz, and the 'I Got 5 on It' remix was the joint that everybody was jamming constantly. And then it was also at that particular time that I became a fan of the Wu-Tang Clan.
‐‐ Sterling K. Brown
I was at Target the day after my kinda debut on 'True Blood,' and I got recognized right away. I was very surprised. It caught me off-guard.
‐‐ Lindsay Pulsipher
I was at that time like a fledgling swallow living high up in a niche in the eaves, who from time to time peeps out over the top of its nest with its little bright eyes.
‐‐ Pierre Loti
I was at the Apollo Theater all the time, skipping school, and I worked in a barbershop. That's how I started with doo-wop. Now I've come full circle. I did all kinds of music. I used to work on Broadway and Tin Pan Alley.
‐‐ George Clinton
I was at the birth of my two girls.
‐‐ Clive Owen
I was at the end of the studio system so when I walked into movies, I had a magnificent suite in which I had a living room and a kitchen and a complete makeup room. I had everything just for me. With the independents, you're kind of roughing it, literally.
‐‐ Tippi Hedren
I was at the first Minor Threat show, and you could tell, 'This band is going to be the king of the town.' It was obvious. They were so good.
‐‐ Henry Rollins
I was at the Olympic Games winning medals and I still doubted my image. I doubted what I looked like. That's sad.
‐‐ Shawn Johnson
I was at the pinnacle of my career one day and the next day I was put out to pasture. I felt like a race horse with a broken leg.
‐‐ Jack Klugman
I was at the premiere of 'Prisoners,' and I heard two thousand people scream at the same time. I turned to my wife and said, 'I love cinema!' It's the sharing of emotions together, and it's collective. It's one of the last communions we have.
‐‐ Denis Villeneuve
I was at the radio station all the time and on the air all the time. I met John Travolta and a lot of the other big '70s icons. Shaun Cassidy sang 'Da Do Ron Ron' to me onstage. I thought I was a rock star; I had an all-access-pass childhood.
‐‐ Amy Landecker
I was at the Royal Art School. That was a preparatory school specially for art teachers. You see, it was not so much for the development of artists. But we had there terribly stiff training.
‐‐ Josef Albers
I was at the Royal Shakespeare Company, where I thought, in my naivete, I'd stay for the rest of my career. I'd thought I'd work up through the ranks and go from spear carrier - or in my case, the eunuch, which was several rungs below the spear carrier - to King Lear.
‐‐ Christian McKay
I was at the Smithsonian for twenty years, and I'm still at the Smithsonian as a curator emeritus, and I still plan to figure out what that means for me at this point in my life.
‐‐ Bernice Johnson Reagon
I was at the tail end of the family. The next brother along was already seven years older than me. I remember growing up by myself, playing games by myself.
‐‐ Ali Smith
I was at the University of Miami, and I still had, like, a semester or so left. And through the film school, I found out that Al Gore was launching a new TV network; they were looking for passionate young storytellers to transform television, which was, like, ambiguous but magnificent-sounding.
‐‐ Jason Silva
I was at the vice president's Christmas party. I thought that his speech was spectacular, and I knew that it was a very emotional and difficult thing for him to do, but I admonished him for not waiting just one more stinking day.
‐‐ Bradley Whitford
I was at this casino minding my own business, and this guy came up to me and said, 'You're gonna have to move, you're blocking a fire exit.' As though if there was a fire, I wasn't gonna run. If you're flammible and have legs, you are never blocking a fire exit.
‐‐ Mitch Hedberg
I was at this model search with a friend, supporting her, and next thing you know I ended up in it.
‐‐ Kim Smith
I was at university and I was studying modern drama and studying English, and I just was like, 'I don't wanna be in this place. I wanna be acting.'
‐‐ Melanie Lynskey
I was at Yale from 1953 to 1957, and I tried to commit suicide in my freshman year because I was gay, and I thought I was the only person in the school who was. I was just totally and utterly miserable.
