I had been performing since I was 5, so it wasn't like I hadn't been on a stage before. I was always older than my age. That's my nature. I've always been a kind of mature kid.
Irene Cara

I had just arrived in New York from California. I was nineteen years old and excited beyond belief. I was an art student and an acting student and behaved as most young actors did - meaning that there was no such thing as a good actor, 'cause you yourself hadn't shown up yet.
Robert Redford

I had taken a course in Ethics. I read a thick textbook, heard the class discussions and came out of it saying I hadn't learned a thing I didn't know before about morals and what is right or wrong in human conduct.
Carl Sandburg

I had to get in touch with the source, I had to go back into my abandonment issues with my mother, I had to go into issues with my father I hadn't even looked at before.
Kenny Loggins

I hadn't accepted he was seriously ill. The idea that someone so close to you couldn't wake up was utterly incomprehensible. Then the doctor came in... Maurice had no brain left. There wasn't any activity at all.
Robin Gibb

I hadn't been a recording artist all that long when albums came on the scene, and I was one of the first singers to point the way to how varied an album's contents could be.
Mel Torme

I hadn't been free from adult responsibilities since I was 12, and I needed to experience that. I really needed to just be a kid again.
Claire Danes

I hadn't been in Vegas 20 minutes when I got word that the bookmakers were offering three to one that Frank wouldn't show for my wedding.
Sammy Davis, Jr.

I hadn't been practicing or playing or anything. But that had been a vital part of my life.
Joseph Jarman

I hadn't done anything in six years; I was just vegetating.
Joseph Wambaugh

I hadn't done just a straight-out comedy in a long time, just letting an ensemble do really good character acting, having them carry the movie as in my earlier pictures.
Brian De Palma

I hadn't done much rapping in a while. I really wasn't sure I was going to do that any more. For a couple years I thought I was done with that. It wasn't really required of me.
Beck

I hadn't even watched '24' before, and the audition was kind of far away. When I got the material, there wasn't a character yet, so it almost seemed like an assistant to Jack Bauer saying, 'Yes, sir. No, sir.'
Mary Lynn Rajskub

I hadn't focused on mechanics since I signed professionally.
Barry Zito

I hadn't given much thought to the prospect of a Hugo nomination at the time it happened, but obviously once you're nominated, winning one seems a bit less far-fetched than before.
Greg Egan

I hadn't performed by myself in a while. It feels very natural to me, and I assume people come for the very same reasons as they do when I'm with the band: to be moved, for something to happen to them.
Bruce Springsteen

I hadn't realized the number of people that are still interested in listening to what I am doing, people I would never know about if not for being online.
Edgar Winter

I hadn't realized until I covered the police beat just how seedy crime is.
Jessica Savitch

I hadn't really noticed that I had a hearing problem. I just thought most people had given up on speaking clearly.
Hal Linden

I hadn't worked for a couple of years so I thought it would be nice to earn some money and pay the bills.
Gary Oldman
