When I played in the NBA for 12 years, Seattle had some of the best fans in the NBA.
‐‐ Kevin Johnson
When I played in the sandbox, the cat kept covering me up.
‐‐ Rodney Dangerfield
When I played Leonardo DiCaprio's mother, they liked that Leo had very hooded eyes and a rounded nose with a ball. They said, They look like they could be mother and son.
‐‐ Ellen Barkin
When I played Little League, I looked up to the big leaguers, too, and collected their baseball cards.
‐‐ Freddie Freeman
When I played, Old-Timers' Day was my favorite day of the whole season, because I got to share a locker with one of the great Yankees... It was an out-of-body experience.
‐‐ Goose Gossage
When I played pro football, I never set out to hurt anyone deliberately - unless it was, you know, important, like a league game or something.
‐‐ Dick Butkus
When I played Robert Howard in 'The Whole Wide World', I was struggling with it. There's this dual thing where you feel real good about being able to play this juicy part, and then there's constant shame: 'Who am I to pretend to know who this guy was? Who am I to represent this guy for people who never knew him?'
‐‐ Vincent D'Onofrio
When I played Robin Hood, I knew the great role was Alan Rickman's and it didn't bother me. I always think that leading actors should be called the best supporting actors.
‐‐ Kevin Costner
When I played 'Survivor', I sat back many times and marveled that no one had gotten into a real physical altercation. With all the backbiting, lies, and lack of food, a fight didn't sound far off base, considering the strained and fragile emotions.
‐‐ Jenna Morasca
When I played, the owners had the power. The prisoners are running the prison now, not the warden. The warden is strong and he has say so but, the balance of power is definitely with the players.
‐‐ Julius Erving
When I played the Sahara Hotel in Las Vegas on New Year's Eve, I got to bring Wiley, my 85-pound black lab. He's responsible for my favorite New Year's memory of all: At the end of the show, he ran onstage and then out across all the tables in the showroom, sending champagne glasses and gamblers flying.
‐‐ Elayne Boosler
When I played Tonto in 'The Lone Ranger' and was playing the older Tonto, I would just leave the makeup on and go to sleep because it was a four or five hour job; it was, from the waist up, all over me.
‐‐ Johnny Depp
When I played with Johnny Cash and Waylon Jennings in Vegas, the guys used to go, 'Dick, cut it out, man! You're moving around too much on this stage. You're making us look bad!'
‐‐ Dick Dale
When I played with the Knicks, I was just as important or just as smart as any other of the guards I played with. I still had to call out plays, notice schemes, know the systems, do everything they had to do.
‐‐ Patrick Ewing
When I plug in my guitar and play it really loud, loud enough to deafen most people, that's my shot of adrenaline, and there's nothing like it. That's what it's always been for me - to be the flame the tribe dances around.
‐‐ Joe Perry
When I pontificate, it sounds so, you know, Oh, well, she's preaching. I'm not preaching, but I think maybe I learned it from my animal friends. Kindness and consideration of somebody besides yourself. I think that keeps you feeling young. I really do.
‐‐ Betty White
When I portray Stabler, I have to shave every day and cut my hair every week! And then, I really like to change my looks for films like 'Harold and Kumar Go to White Castle' where I have the pleasure of playing the ugliest man in the world.
‐‐ Christopher Meloni
When I posted my first video, I remember it hit 700 views after a week, and I was like, 'Oh my God, this is amazing.' I was over the moon.
‐‐ Lilly Singh
When I pray, I feel close to my Father in Heaven, and I feel His guiding hand in my life. If there is one thing I have learned, it is this: God knows us, He loves us, and He is waiting to help us.
‐‐ Jane Clayson
When I pray, I pray believing that God will speak to me and give me an answer to that prayer. That's what a calling is. If I pray, a calling means that I feel like I have a sense from God.
‐‐ Michele Bachmann
When I prayed for success, I forgot to ask for sound sleep and good digestion.
‐‐ Mason Cooley
When I present or speak, I write the slides myself. And regarding time, I would like to be able to publish more than I do.
‐‐ Padmasree Warrior
When I present the Charlie Parker book, I do a call and response that works quite well. With the Thelonious Monk book, I play the music and work with kids in a group to create a color wheel and show how the wheel can be mapped on a 12-tone chromatic scale.
‐‐ Chris Raschka
When I present those clip shows and movie mistakes and things, the persona the writers adopt for me is unimpressed, superior, very sarcastic - I'm not any of that. I can do it, but that's not what I'm like.
‐‐ Robert Webb
When I produce a record, I roll up my sleeves; I'm not one of those passive guys. I really get in there and make sure every note is measured. I tell the bass player, 'You have to play it like this,' or I tell the drummer, 'It's got to be like this.'
‐‐ David Foster
When I produce other people, that's the thing I can do well because I've been in a band, and I can play the political game and make everybody feel happy, and I can check their performances, and I can work on the sound while they're being a band.
‐‐ Ric Ocasek
When I promise I'll do something, I do it. At least since I got sober.
‐‐ Eve Babitz
When I published my first novel, 'Slammed,' I included lyrics at the beginning of each chapter from one of my favorite bands, The Avett Brothers. The overwhelmingly positive response from readers to those lyrics really surprised me.
‐‐ Colleen Hoover
When I pull into a city and I rent a car and it's Nashville, or it's London, or I'm driving in the taxi to the hotel, and on comes one of my songs, it's like, 'Oh my God, they're still playing these songs on the radio.' And you still feel tearful and very grateful that somebody still likes these songs that you made up.
‐‐ Randy Bachman
When I pull my white Range Rover into disabled parking bays, the abuse that I get until I actually get out on my crutches is phenomenal, because people presume that you couldn't possibly be disabled and reverse a white Range Rover into that parking space.
‐‐ Lee Pearson
When I put a bicycle wheel on a stool, the fork down, there was no idea of a 'ready-made' or anything else. It was just a distraction. I didn't have any special reason to do it, or any intention of showing it or describing anything.
‐‐ Marcel Duchamp
When I put a quarter into an arcade machine or call up an emulated game on my computer, I do it to escape the world that is a slave to the time that makes things fall apart. I have never played these games to occupy my world.
‐‐ D. B. Weiss
When I put magic into a book - whether it's a wizard or a crusty old werewolf - I'm asking a reader to swallow a huge leap that is counter to everything he or she knows. An extra big helping of reality makes that leap go down a lot easier.
‐‐ Patricia Briggs
When I put my faith in Jesus Christ as my savior, and I asked him to forgive and to come into my life, and He does - from that moment forward I have established a personal relationship with God that I have to develop, you know, through Bible reading and prayer, and living my life for him.
‐‐ Anne Graham Lotz
When I put my mind to it I can be a megalomaniac.
‐‐ Bram Cohen
When I put out a record or single I don't allow myself to set up expectations like, 'This song must be a number one hit. Its got to sell X amount of records.'
‐‐ Scott Weiland
When I put out my first mixtape, '50 Cent is the Future,' it was the first tape where an artist did the entire tape in song format.
‐‐ Curtis Jackson
When I put out 'Toot It and Boot It,' did anything sound like that?
‐‐ Ty Dolla Sign
When I put out 'Video Games' in May 2011, it was a 5:25-minute love song; I was surprised when a lot of people said they were listening to it. I was surprised when it went to the radio, without me even knowing how something like that even happens!
‐‐ Lana Del Rey
When I put some Tabasco on things, and there's really nothing in Tabasco, it's not bad for you in any way, so that's kind of become my substitute. Now you got to get used to a hot mouth, but that's okay.
‐‐ Mike Ditka
When I put something into motion, the creativity starts to make other people want to jump in, and then a lot of people get employed. I'm just like a shark, in that way. If I stop swimming, I'll die. But, it really is about that shared experience with people. I'm from theater, and that's really what theater feels like.
‐‐ Adam Shankman
When I put something on, and I stand up much straighter, that's when I love to wear clothes.
‐‐ Bonnie Wright
When I put together a graphic novel, I don't think about literary prose. I think about storytelling.
‐‐ Ted Rall
When I putt well, I do very well. When I putt poorly, I struggle to be in the game.
‐‐ Tom Lehman
When I quit all these things and said I didn't have any time, I meant I didn't have any time.
‐‐ Sharon Olds
When I race in Australia or Korea or Japan I know it will be a big change for me because Ferrari fans are worldwide.
‐‐ Fernando Alonso
When I raced with Mercedes, I thought I'd learn German. But my wife didn't want to live in Germany.
‐‐ Juan Manuel Fangio
When I ran across America, for 75 days I ate 10,000 calories a day. I still lost about five pounds.
‐‐ Dean Karnazes
When I ran for Congress I promised to help make health care affordable again.
‐‐ Bobby Jindal
