I don't believe in singing lessons. You can sing or you can't.
Harry Dean Stanton

I don't think there are many larger lessons to be found in sports.
Gregg Easterbrook

I got involved in athletics during physical education lessons at school.
Alberto Juantorena

I got private lessons in keyboard at Julliard, before New England Conservatory of Music in Boston.
Bernie Worrell

I got started when I was 3 years old because my father was a music teacher and my lessons were free. Instead of learning to walk, you learn to play the piano.
Carla Bley

I grew up on musicals, and I know they are quite the thing now, but I'm actually a little indignant, because I started taking singing lessons years ago - I put the time in!
Marisa Tomei

I grew up taking piano lessons and liking Wagner when I was in second grade.
Tom Verlaine

I guess by taking lessons early on, and really trying to play all the rudimentary stuff, and try to have it sound as good as my teacher. It took a lot of practice, which I enjoyed, and still do.
Matt Cameron

I had piano lessons when I was a kid, like most people. And hated them, like most people. And quit, like most people.
Carter Burwell

I had wanted to play drums since the age of 9 when I saw a drum set in the window of a music store for the first time. We took lessons at a local music school and began playing together after about 6-9 months of lessons.
Jack Irons

I have recently started acting lessons in south France, and I intend to commence acting lessons at Rada.
David Ginola

I learned how to play the drums. When we were in pre-production, when we were still in LA, I had a couple of drum lessons and then some in Toronto. I got the one beat down and that was it.
Mary-Kate Olsen

I learnt pity, sympathy, and what it was like to be at the other end of the stick. Such lessons can't be learnt in lecture halls.
Lionel Blue

I longed to fly. I was paid in flying lessons and, by the time I was 13, I'd logged 100 hours at the controls.
Kent McCord

I mean, it's the life lessons that I suppose you learn that nobody gets a free ride and that you do the best you can with the means that you can and try to open yourself to as much knowledge and all that that you can.
Joe Mantegna

I never had lessons. Used to try to play to records, which I hated doing. Still can't play to them.
Charlie Watts

I really didn't even have time to get that many lessons, to be honest, because I was suddenly on the road. I was kind of thrown in the deep end. But that wasn't a bad thing when I look back at it.
Caroline Corr

I saw no African people in the printed and illustrated Sunday school lessons. I began to suspect at this early age that someone had distorted the image of my people. My long search for the true history of African people the world over began.
John Henrik Clarke

I started formal piano training when I was 4. From there I had little violas, and I had dancing lessons of every sort and description, and painting lessons. I had German. And shorthand.
Twyla Tharp

I started studying music at the age of five and a half. My older sister was taking piano lessons. When her teacher left our apartment, I would get up on the piano bench and start picking out the notes that were part of my sister's lessons.
