And I went to New York and died; for 10 years I walked those pavements. I can't think of New York without feeling uncomfortable and feeling like a failure.
Harvey Korman

Then as the years went on and my listening became more deliberate, I would climb up on an arm of our big sofa to get my ear closer to the wireless speaker.
Seamus Heaney

I started off as a juggler. I used to do a half-hour show on the weekends to make money as a kid. Then I went to Cleveland, Ohio in 1983 to the international jugglers competition junior division and came second. So that was my first job, being a juggler.
Patrick Dempsey

I did a play called 'On Golden Pond' in a dinner theater in Maine and then went to New York for a talent competition having put together a three-man juggling routine and some one-liners and I got myself an agent from that.

History is full of people who went to prison or were burned at the stake for proclaiming their ideas. Society has always defended itself.
Naguib Mahfouz

All this flying around got on my nerves. But then I gave the script to Cathy to get her opinion. When she started to laugh, it was like 'That's it!'. I went to LA and I got the part.
Ed O'Neill

I went to Ohio University studying arts and history, and playing football. But I was only interested in girls, my pals and sports. I only did the minimum for school.
Ed O'Neill

I just had an idea that went right over my head.
Lawrence Welk

I went along to the audition and I had one page of lines, and I didn't think it went particularly well.
Rosie Huntington-Whiteley

Well, I didn't really grow up playing or listening to metal, like many of the kids I went to school with. I only got into it in my late teens, so when Marilyn Manson formed, it was at a time when I was still excited about approaching music from that angle.
Daisy Berkowitz

Everybody thinks that I did this and I did that, but I just went along with the times.
Joe Gold

I went to my friend's house one day, and he had an electric guitar he had just bought with a tiny little amp. I turned the volume up to 10 and I hit one chord, and I said, I'm in love.
Ace Frehley

I went into photography because it seemed like the perfect vehicle for commenting on the madness of today's existence.
Robert Mapplethorpe

We went to Big Sur about three years ago and hung out at the Esalen Institute.
Jeff Ament

There was one occasion when I was very young - eight years or seven years old - that Jewish businessmen went through the forest, and they were assassinated. And that was for the first time I saw in our paper where there were assassinations in our place.
Shimon Peres

Parents don't understand kids and kids don't understand parents. My parents were divorced when I was really young and I went to live with my dad.
Mark Hoppus

I think 'Saturday Night Live', starting in the 1970s, really gave women an outlet to be funny. A lot of those women went on to have film careers, from Kristen Wiig now to Tina Fey and Gilda Radner.
Emma Stone

If you went to see me today, you might not like my music.
Link Wray

I did not hear her go or come back, but I supposed she went.
Lizzie Andrew Borden

When we went up against teams that were better, I just hoped that we could steal the victories.
Kareem Abdul-Jabbar
