I was studying my 'Bold and Beautiful' script the other day, lying in a hammock, when one of my Siberian tigers walked up and grabbed it out of my hand - she wanted to play. See - teeth marks!

‐‐ Nikki Ziering
I was studying to be a legal secretary when I was called to audition for 'Ken.'
‐‐ Kierston Wareing
I was studying to be an architect, I wasn't plotting to join the movies. Films were just another career option. I took acting up with the same schoolgirl enthusiasm I had for examinations. Acting is a job and I take it very seriously.
‐‐ Aishwarya Rai Bachchan
I was studying with Peter Carey, Colum McCann; but also, my fellow students were really critical readers for me.

I was stunned to find out there had never been a serious, scholarly biography ever written on Rosa Parks.

I was stunned to learn that more than 200,000 abandoned, neglected, or orphaned children had been sent from the East Coast to the Midwest on trains between 1854 and 1929.
‐‐ Christina Baker Kline
I was stupid when I started: the epitome of bright-eyed and bushy-tailed. It was like, 'I get to live in L.A. and drive around in limos? Really?' I didn't realize I was owned. The more money gets pumped into you, the more you become a marionette. It made me a true redneck in attitude: I never wanted to wake up ever again feeling owned.
‐‐ Al Jourgensen
I was successful and I enjoyed modeling, but it got to a point where I felt like I had 'been there, done that.' I wanted something that would inspire me and challenge me. I needed something that required more creativity. I started writing and I started auditioning. Simply posing in front of the camera was no longer enough.
‐‐ Julia Voth
I was successful materially, but I know life is much more than worldly success. I saw all these blessings God had given me. The way to give thanks is obedience to God.
‐‐ Hakeem Olajuwon
I was successful very quickly. I was on the cover of 'Vogue' before I knew it.

‐‐ Bryan Fuller
I was such a late bloomer when it comes to fashion.

I was such a massive fan of all the '60s pop bands, but if I had to single out one band, it would definitely be The Beatles.
‐‐ Paul Weller
I was such a nerd, a complete geek, but then I was lucky enough to have a fancy career, where I can be like 'See, I'm not a nerd. Look, I'm in 'Vogue.'
‐‐ Brooke Shields
I was such a private person before I started 'The Talk.' I don't know what happened! It almost feels like I've started a second life. In my previous lifetime, I didn't talk about stuff. Now I'll discuss anything. It's crazy!
‐‐ Sara Gilbert
I was such a punk.
‐‐ Patti Davis
I was such a screwup when I got to the big leagues. I was a total idiot.
‐‐ Curt Schilling
I was such a 'Star Wars' fan. That was my generation.
‐‐ Phil LaMarr
I was such a sullen, angry, sad kid. I'm sure there are writers who have had happy childhoods, but what are you going to write about? No ghosts, no fear. I'm very happy that I had an unhappy and uncomfortable childhood.
‐‐ Isabel Allende
I was such a tomboy - goofy and, in my eyes, nerdy - and I never thought I would end up in modeling. I mean, you see pictures of these girls in magazines who have this incredible talent, and no one ever really thinks you can make it to that level. At least I didn't!
‐‐ Erin Heatherton
I was such a tomboy when I was young. I hated girls' clothes.
‐‐ Suki Waterhouse
I was such a wallflower in high school. I did a lot of extracurricular theatre shows, but at school, I spent a lot of time by myself. I ate lunch by myself, and I was always okay with it. But I was definitely made fun of, and I always felt like an outsider.
‐‐ Melissa Benoist
I was such a weird kid. The really hardcore stuff like Venom - I was totally aware of them, and I listened to some of it - but they actually frightened me.
‐‐ Brian Posehn
I was sucked into this vortex of a very conservative upbringing.
‐‐ Kevin Costner
I was suddenly really famous, and I didn't know how to cope. I didn't know myself well enough as a person, number one, and as an actor, number two. I wanted to escape.
‐‐ Kate Winslet
I was sued by a woman who claimed that she became pregnant because she watched me on television and I bent her contraceptive coil.
‐‐ Uri Geller
I was suffering a divorce, and I was very unhappy because my children were very young. It hit me when a woman, a fan, was chatting with me. She was pleased to meet Big Bird because her children liked him and liked the show, but she didn't know that my face was streamed with tears.
‐‐ Caroll Spinney
I was suffering from a peculiar and persistent sense that I was being pursued, and also the conviction that under the political order of the times, our lives had no meaning.
‐‐ Naguib Mahfouz
I was suited for fame, and I mean that in the most non-egocentric way. I don't mind gearing my life towards privacy. It's my nature.
‐‐ John Travolta
I was super brainy and a proper geek at school, but there would always be a boy. But that sort of obsession did turn me into a songwriter. My writing has always come from that feeling of infatuation.
‐‐ Ellie Goulding
I was super-obsessed with cover videos. When I was, like, 10, I would come home from school and watch them from 4 o'clock until 8 o'clock every night. I was so intrigued that people took these super-popular songs and did them their own way.
‐‐ Shawn Mendes
I was super-obsessed with the Spice Girls. Ginger was my favorite. They had a tour in 2008, and my home girls went, but I didn't have the money to go!
‐‐ Kreayshawn
I was supposed to be a romancer, either wooing the leading lady or competing with the leading man for her.
‐‐ Cesar Romero
I was supposed to be authoritative, but at the same time had to be likeable, a quality that is a bonus, not a requirement, for men in the same position.
‐‐ Dee Dee Myers
I was supposed to be cleaning out the barn, but I was usually reading romance novels. That's how you grow up to be a thriller writer.

I was supposed to be the antithesis of Frank.
