We had access to too much money, too much equipment, and little by little, we went insane.
‐‐ Francis Ford Coppola
We had all these famous writers in Sweden and from all over the world home at dinner. I wanted to be a writer, and I wanted to be a highbrow writer as my father. He never, ever read anything like crime novels. He wrote biographies of Dante, James Joyce, August Strindberg and Joseph Conrad.
‐‐ David Lagercrantz
We had all these smiley family pictures all over the walls of my house, but I always found those pictures to be odd because we weren't smiling all the time. I don't want to paint the picture of a total dysfunctional house, but there were a lot of arguments in that house. A lot of pain.
‐‐ Derek Cianfrance
We had all these things to deal with - houses full of people and John going to jail, guys from New York saying 'don't worry about anything.' So it was really confusing.
‐‐ Michael Davis
We had all this kind of freedom and 'get out of your head' kind of stuff and at the same time, we were trying to establish ourselves in the business. These two things are really difficult to bring together.
‐‐ Michael Davis
We had all week to rehearse. An audience would come in at the end of the week and we'd our little show. Most of the ad- libbing happened during the week on the show.
‐‐ Dick Van Dyke
We had already planned my wedding when my brother passed away in 2012. When you're grieving, you don't necessarily want to think about something like that, but my brother told me that he wanted me to, so we went ahead and did it.
‐‐ Yaya DaCosta
We had an apartment on west side of Central Park. The rent was very reasonable. We found out later that it belonged to a gangster called Legs Diamond and it was a front to his headquarters. It was fine.
‐‐ James Stewart
We had an awfully good ball club that was capable of beating anybody. They were that good.
‐‐ John Oldham
We had an EP out and all of a sudden we find record companies are interested in us, and we're thinking, 'Oh, that's really nice, but we don't think we're ready for it.'
‐‐ Debbi Peterson
We had an erector set, and I was an avid fan of Popular Mechanics and Popular Science magazines.
‐‐ James Van Allen
We had an exercise in speech class in school, impromptu speaking, that I was always real good at.
‐‐ John Mellencamp
We had an eyeball-to-eyeball agreement at a restaurant before I came back that, if I came back, he would never talk to me that way again or I was simply saying no.
‐‐ Andrea Mackris
We had an interesting thing at that first dinner. It was prior to the availability of several new hotels in Los Angeles, and we were more or less committed to the old Ambassador Hotel that has the famous Coconut Grove.
‐‐ Lew Wasserman
We had an old Victrola with the old bulldog they used to have there. The horn would come out.
‐‐ Jay McShann
We had an opportunity to clinch a playoff berth and I think if that's not enough motivation I don't think you should be playing this game.
‐‐ Tina Thompson
We had at our disposal the first operational jet, which superseded by at least 150 knots the fastest American and English fighters. This was a unique situation.
‐‐ Adolf Galland
We had avoided discovery by the Sioux scouts, and we were confident of giving them a complete surprise.
‐‐ Buffalo Bill
We had been busy building up fibre infrastructure under the ground in Hong Kong and underneath the homes of people, so when we launched IPTV, it was relatively smoother sailing than in other territories.
‐‐ Richard Li
We had been getting some bad results, now it is up to us to make up the ground and catch Manchester United.
‐‐ Robbie Fowler
We had been reading about these beatniks who hung out or lived in Greenwich Village, and we wanted to find out what a 'beatnik' was, and so a friend and I went right to the source. What we learned, of course, was that beatniks were mostly artists.
‐‐ Richie Havens
We had been working. We had a bunch of songs written and it came time to make the record, so we had our lawyer make the call to Elektra and ask for our advance. Then, we got dropped. It was actually exciting.
‐‐ Gene Ween
We had better dispense with the personification of evil, because it leads, all too easily, to the most dangerous kind of war: religious war.
‐‐ Konrad Lorenz
We had built up a team in Edmonton that really knew who each other was from a personal standpoint and from a professional standpoint. Our nucleus had stayed together for a long time.
‐‐ Mark Messier
We had cocktail parties and I'd stay up until 5 in the morning.
‐‐ Dorothy Malone
We had common interests in the beauty of the French language. We both had a tremendous love of jazz. We shared dreams of getting married and having a family, living in the country, leading an idyllic life.
‐‐ David Amram
We had doubles for some of the stuff but a lot of it had to do with there's certain hours that you can dive and then you can't dive for another certain, like 12 hours just for the air and stuff.
‐‐ Ashley Scott
We had every kind of audience you could name. Young, old, not-so-old, some older than old, some younger than young: they were there, they were there! There was everything.
‐‐ John Hunter
We had every problems starting a big top could have. The tent fell down on the first day. We had problems getting people into the shows. It was only with the courage and arrogance of youth that we survived.
‐‐ Guy Laliberte
We had extremely democratic town councils in medieval Italy which knew the value of working together, and every now and then, down the centuries, this spirit returns.
‐‐ Dario Fo
We had five goats, two dogs, a cat and racks of commentaries on Shakespeare.
‐‐ Charles Dance
We had four different sets and built 38 flats to use as walls, so we had a major production going on. It's so much fun when you're controlling it, but it's also so much pressure.
‐‐ Maria Menounos
We had four guys in the family, so somebody was always hitting somebody or chasing somebody or getting mad or fighting or wrestling - that was just what you did. So when you're the youngest, it's good for you. You figure out real early how to get out of headlocks and holds.
‐‐ Michael Keaton
We had four years of world war which the peoples endured only because they were told that their sufferings would free humanity forever from the scourge of war.
‐‐ Arthur Henderson
We had gay burglars the other night. They broke in and rearranged the furniture.
‐‐ Robin Williams
We had gone out on the road in 94 and 95 for a three month American tour, and we realised, as did our manager and booking agent at the time, that we have really exhausted it, and we can't make money at this anymore.
‐‐ Steve Brown
We had good white friends who advised us against taking the war path. My friend and brother, Mr. Chapman, told us just how the war would end.

We had grain but no mills, so I designed a special mill of wood so we could make flour.

We had great faith that with patience, understanding, and education, that my family and I could be helpful in changing their minds and attitudes around.
‐‐ Ryan White
We had had several mine disasters where workers, some of the workers were rescued. It was, you know, who was lucky and who weren't. Some would find the air pockets But, in this one, bam, it was just, everybody was gone and it greatly depressed the state.
‐‐ Richard Grimes
We had high and boisterous winds last night and this morning: the Indians continue to purchase repairs with grain of different kinds.
‐‐ Meriwether Lewis
We had hoped to have been bringing you Arthur the Human Chameleon, but this afternoon, he crawled across a tartan rug and died of exhaustion.
‐‐ Ronnie Barker
We had hundreds of thousands of people all dedicated to doing the perfect job, and I think they did about as well as anyone could ever have expected.
‐‐ Neil Armstrong
We had idyllic summer holidays, building sandcastles with my father on the beach at Bridlington. It might sound strange, but I think that secure cocoon of familial love was so nourishing, it gave me the strength to live life on my own.
‐‐ Kiki Dee
We had incense and rock'n'roll posters, and we sold records and rolling papers. People could just, like, hang out. We had a cool vibe going.
‐‐ Tommy Hilfiger
We had just recently moved to California from Italy, and while we were driving around, we saw a billboard ad for McDonald's on Olympic Boulevard in Los Angeles. The word 'guess' was in the ad, and my brother decided that that would be the name of our company!
‐‐ Paul Marciano
We had kind of a rocky start, but I spent a lot of time working with the President and handing him statistics and showing him what we were doing as we went along and kind of saying to him, you know, this is really important.
‐‐ Bruce Babbitt
We had library books in our house, but not our own. So you had 14 days to read them. There would be eight books a fortnight in our house and I'd read as many of those as I could.
‐‐ Sue Townsend
We had like a jolt of women in country, and it seems like we're just kind of there now.
‐‐ Miranda Lambert
We had, like, the greatest time you could ever imagine doing 'Arrested Development.' And as grateful as we are for the careers we have afterwards, it was - we still miss it.
‐‐ Jason Bateman
