My first book was the most successful debut novel in the U.K. ever and every one of my books has reached number one in the U.K. Clearly the British know brilliance when they see it.

My first break was in a Hong Kong movie that I shot in China - I was going out there and working as a western stunt man, if you like, but at the same time in England I was working in daytime soap stuff. Eventually I put the two together.
‐‐ Scott Adkins
My first break wasn't professional - I was in 'The Sound of Music' when I was five. I played Gretel, the youngest one, because that was what kind of took off for me in terms of loving acting.
‐‐ Megan Park
My first British film was Gurinder Chadha's 'Bend It Like Beckham,' which was a huge international success.

My first buildings, when I was about 30, were rejected for aesthetic reasons.

My first business deal was with my mother. I invested in chickens. I sold the eggs to my mother.
‐‐ Joel McCrea

‐‐ Nick Woodman
My first calendar was a combination of photos taken from different shoots including golf and casual.
‐‐ Natalie Gulbis
My first call is always to my dad. It's really rad. What had initially drove my dad and me apart - all my stunts and antics - has brought us together, closer than we've ever been. My dad's been a huge part of my team.
‐‐ Steve-O
My first campaign was pretty ugly: the incumbent came after me hard with a lot of things that weren't true.
‐‐ Reid Ribble
My first car, I got it in an auction at my temple. It was an '86 Volvo that I got for 500 bucks, and then wound up throwing $10,000 into the stereo system and put TVs in the foot rests. It was the most ridiculous Volvo you'd ever seen, but I had never had money before and I was out of my mind.
‐‐ Shia LaBeouf
My first car was a 1976 Toyota Corolla Liftback in red, like the one in 'The Blues Brothers.' I painted a Union Jack on the roof. I was absolutely in love with it until I destroyed it, which broke my heart!

My first car was a Chevy Cavalier. My dad somehow convinced me that it was a hot sports car because it was red.
‐‐ Katheryn Winnick
My first car was a Holden Commodore station wagon. I can't remember much more about it than that - it was coffee colored, and I think it was four cylinders, so it was really quite weak, but very safe for a young man to be driving.
‐‐ Antony Starr
My first car was a motorcycle.
‐‐ Adam Carolla
My first car was a Toyota 4Runner when I was 17. I paid for it myself. I was very happy.
‐‐ Apolo Ohno
My first car was an '84 Ford Taurus. It caught on fire from me trying to change the fuel pump, so that wasn't good at all. Dried leaves on the ground while I was trying to change the fuel pump. Don't do that. Do it on concrete.
‐‐ T-Pain
My first car was, as depicted in 'Sleepwalk with Me,' my mother's '92 Volvo station wagon that had 80,000 miles on it, and I had put 40,000 miles on it, so by the time it retired it had 120,000, and I basically killed it. It served me well, and my mechanic was always very angry with me because I just didn't properly care for it.
‐‐ Mike Birbiglia
My first car was in 2006 when I got on my first TV show - a BMW 328i2 four-door sedan in slate grey. That was a great day, that was.

My first celeb crush was Hanson. I loved all three of them. My sister and I would always fight, and whenever they would come on the TV, we would always give them a kiss on the TV. And I also had a crush on Jonathan Taylor Thomas. Every time he would come on the screen, he was like my boyfriend. I was such a nerd like that.
‐‐ Ashley Benson
My first celebrity crush... I had a huge crush on 'Cheetara' from 'ThunderCats.'
‐‐ Ramon Rodriguez
My first celebrity crush was Jonathan Brandis. I even got to talk to him on the phone. I wrote a fan letter, and he answered. Talk about a surreal experience.
‐‐ Jennifer Armentrout
My first character was Mr. Toad.
‐‐ Bill Griffith
My first child, I think I was completely shell shocked. I was ecstatic but in shock that I was now responsible completely for another life and it was my co-creation and how did I manage that?! I was in awe that I had actually done what millions of other women had done, given birth and now an added responsibility of 'mommy' in my life ahead!
‐‐ Kylie Bax
My first child is going to be the oldest sibling to the next kid, and that may change with each and every year. I'm looking forward to how one baby influences the other, and to my family as a whole, to every single chapter.

‐‐ Isaiah Thomas
My first church had seven members in it, and I have to remember, the rent was $225 a month and I worked for Union Carbide and took the check I made from work to pay for the rent to keep the church open.

‐‐ Amber Stevens
My first commercial was for Miller High Life beer.
‐‐ Casey Kasem
My first company failed completely. And it failed at about ten months old. I had about 12 months of savings, so when it failed I was thinking: 'Do I go back to work?' And at that point I believed so deeply in what I was doing that I couldn't imagine anything else other than trying to make this business work.
‐‐ Kathryn Minshew
My first company produced 'Silicon Alley Reporter' magazine, where I held the dual titles of CEO and Editor.
‐‐ Jason Calacanis
My first company, Pure Software, was exciting and innovative in the first few years and bureaucratic and painful in the last few before it got acquired. The problem was we tried to systemize everything and set up perfect procedures.
