I was being called to surrender the very citadel of my self. I was completely in the dark. I did not really know what repentance was or what I was required to repent of. It was indeed the turning point of my life.
‐‐ Bede Griffiths
I was being categorized as some kind of twangy songwriter. And that's just not how I see myself.
‐‐ Kathleen Edwards
I was being flirted with for 'Modern Family,' which my wife still hasn't let me live down, but it's one of those things where that show is so brilliant because the casting couldn't be any more perfect. It wouldn't have been right for me, and I wouldn't have been right for it.
‐‐ Josh Gad
I was being foolish. An atheist can't stand behind their assertion that God doesn't exist. The stupidest thing I ever could have done was to reject His Truth.
‐‐ Kirk Cameron
I was being groomed as an undergraduate to specialize in Midwestern prehistory, but going back to my teenage days, my interest has always been in our early human ancestors. I wanted to work in Africa.
‐‐ Donald Johanson
I was being groomed to be a tennis player for sure. My grandparents and parents realised I had a natural athletic ability and if I was forced to do it, I could probably do well. But all I wanted was to play pretend.
‐‐ Dakota Fanning
I was being hated for about 40 or 50 years by the whole world, but it did not destroy me, and it did not ruin my health. And the reason is because I just did not answer them. I had my own life.
‐‐ Yoko Ono
I was being honest - I have nothing to hide. All I do, all the time, with everybody, is tell them what I am thinking, what I am feeling.
‐‐ Leelee Sobieski
I was being laughed at. I hated it, so I made an adjustment to control the situation. All comics learn that.
‐‐ Andy Griffith
I was being rejected all the time. Agents would say, 'I don't think you're the type they're looking for.' I was always like, 'You think? I don't want you to think. I want them to think that.' This business is all about someone's opinion, but not the agent or the manager's. How do they know? They're not that person.
‐‐ Heidi Klum
I was being ridiculed for going to school... But, you see, I had looked hard at the other musicians and the whole show-business scene... They were doing with jazz musicians what they usually reserved for rock n' roll cats: making them overnight successes, then overnight antiques.
‐‐ Donald Byrd
I was being singled out as the best in the class at this, that and the other, nearly always to do with art. And then I was a very good swimmer from a very early age, and once again the best in the class, and when I was about five or six, I was the best in the school.
‐‐ Rolf Harris
I was being taken around by a press agent at the Venice Film Festival at age 18. Was it fun? Sure. But it was a dangerous path to be walking on as far as having a substantive life. Because the casualty rate at the Venice Film Festival for 18-year-olds? High.
‐‐ Ethan Hawke
I was being very bad because I didn't know how to express myself. Music gave me an outlet to express myself and channel that anger.
‐‐ Tory Lanez
I was betting on cockfights in the Filipino workers' camps when I was 11.
‐‐ Susanna Moore
I was between 2 and 3 in the world for two, three years. That's not exactly where I wanted to be.
‐‐ Ivan Lendl
I was big and fat and had weird parents.
‐‐ Richard Griffiths
I was big as a kid, very overweight. That caused a lot of insecurities for me growing up, and on top of that, I didn't like the idea of big crowds. I found it quite frightening. I enjoy the company of people who I know, and I'm probably still like that today.
‐‐ Deborah Mailman
I was big into grunge, like Nirvana and Hole, when I was younger, which has been a really huge inspiration because of its rawness and honesty.
‐‐ Tove Lo
I was big into mythology when I was a kid - Arthurian legends and Greek mythology, that was kind of my passion. I hadn't heard of the books, but I was told they were very popular amongst the kids, so I got a hold of them and read them. I totally got it!
‐‐ Steve Valentine
I was big time into Barbie.
‐‐ Jennifer Sky
I was big time into Barbie. I also had Wonder Woman Underoos that I really liked. I actually wore them as an outfit to school. As I said, I was a strange child.
‐‐ Jennifer Sky
I was bit by a dog when I was two years old, and it almost mauled my face. It almost killed and/or blinded me. I was this close to dying at two, which is terrible. I survived it, and there was no head trauma or anything like that. Honestly, it was a miracle.
‐‐ Charlie Puth
I was bitten by a brown recluse spider. It got me as I was coming out of the shower. I'd never seen that kind of spider before, I'm from Canada and we don't get those types up there.
‐‐ Elisha Cuthbert
I was bitten by an octopus.
‐‐ Ted Cruz
I was black and blue for about two years, but it's paid off tremendously. You know, if you get enough whacks, your reflexes pick up, and I've become quite good - if somebody throws keys or something, I can catch them.
‐‐ Lucy Lawless
I was black growing up in an all-white neighborhood, so I felt like I just didn't fit in. Like I wasn't as good as everybody else, or as smart, or whatever.
‐‐ Halle Berry
I was blacklisted because of this activity, so I'm not a typical anything.
‐‐ Karen Morley
I was blessed, because I come from a family where they knock you down before you float away. I have a lot of brothers who just make sure we have our feet on the ground, and my mom is a rock star. She is an amazing mother.
‐‐ Kellan Lutz
I was blessed in the sense that I got handed so much early on in life. I got a lot of the things people go through their 20s and 30s craving.
‐‐ Sheena Easton
I was blessed to grow up in really interesting times and to go back to a home where I was very safe.
‐‐ Dennis Lehane
I was blessed to grow up on a farm, and when you're a farm boy, exercise is part of your lifestyle. Like it or not, that environment makes you work out. On the farm, nature is your gym. You walk and run and swim and have to do a lot of work with animals too.
‐‐ Cesar Millan
I was blessed to have a mother and father that recognized the value of education.
‐‐ Jeb Bush
I was blessed to work with The Jazz Messengers when the two piano players were Keith Jarrett and Chick Corea.
‐‐ Chuck Mangione
I was blessed with a birth and a death, and I guess I just want some say in between.
‐‐ Ani DiFranco
I was blessed with a gift. It's a gift and a curse. It never ends.
‐‐ Dan Fogelberg
I was blessed with a good character in 'Hollyoaks,' and I cut my teeth in 'Brookside' as well.
‐‐ Barry Sloane
I was blessed with a long career where I won gold medals for myself and my country. Nothing stands out as a disappointment.
‐‐ Gail Devers
I was blessed with a strong arm and a weak mind.
‐‐ Dizzy Dean
I was blessed with blonde hair and a baby face - well, I don't know if you'd call that blessed - I don't even remember when I started shaving.
‐‐ Clay Matthews III
I was blessed with certain gifts and talents and God gave them to me to be the best person I can be and to have a positive impact on other people.
‐‐ Bryan Clay
I was blessed with my career. I passionately love acting. And it's given me a good livelihood.
‐‐ George Takei
I was blinded by being a romantic person.
‐‐ Sienna Miller
I was bloody ill-tempered when I was young.
‐‐ Ingmar Bergman
I was blown away by being able to color. Then I started to draw... bringing a blank white canvas to life was fascinating.
‐‐ James De La Vega
I was blown away by the control and the range that I was hearing. I'm listening to Pavarotti and thinking, What the hell have I been doing with my voice all these years?
‐‐ Michael Bolton
I was blown away by the standing ovation. I've had tributes before, sure, but I don't retain that feeling, and I wasn't prepared for it on Tuesday. But maybe you shouldn't retain these things or you'd be on a permanent high.
‐‐ Burt Bacharach
I was bold in the pursuit of knowledge, never fearing to follow truth and reason to whatever results they led, and bearding every authority which stood in their way.
‐‐ Thomas Jefferson
I was booed at the premiere of 'Miss Julie,' a remarkably stimulating experience.
‐‐ Ingmar Bergman
