From the first I became convinced that what I must look for was lead dust and lead fumes, that men were poisoned by breathing poisoned air, not by handling their food with unwashed hands.
I think I was immediately fed, so food became a very important part of my life.
I was a girl and became a woman. Something about having the freedom at home to be in the position I wanted, to have the people I wanted, was empowering.
As the years passed, and I was nine, 10, 11 years old, it became obvious I was going to start up a business of some sort.
My parents have always been cool. They even became surrogates to friends of mine who didn't have such supportive parents.
We all know the Internet didn't explode until it became a commercial enterprise. Space communication will probably have the same characteristic.
Especially for my father it was a great change. He used to be a socialist and even a member of the socialist party. But then he became an orthodox Jew.
I have to write and play. If I became an electrician tomorrow, I'd still come home at night and write songs.
I met Elton John at an Interview dinner, and we just sort of became friends. He's got such a wicked sense of humor.
My dad became a soap opera actor, and I was an extra in a skating rink scene on the soap. I didn't audition. It was nepotism all the way.
The very effect of the education they were given... was to make men think; and, thinking, they became less and less satisfied with the miserable pays they received.
To pine for the days before public education became a practical reality is to pine for an America held back by mass ignorance and mass illiteracy.
I think it's a great shame that America stopped being a republic and became an empire.
Hendrix was big in England. We all became good friends and I am still in touch with Noel Redding.
My goal was for acting to become my main income. I would say to myself, 'I'm good enough.' That became my mantra.
Modernity, the child of the Enlightenment, failed when it became apparent that the good society cannot be achieved by unaided reason.
Nobody became an actor because he had a good childhood.
Fear can be conquered. I became a better person and a better football player when I learned that lesson.
Since I was seventeen I thought I might be a star. I'd think about all my heroes, Charlie Parker, Jimi Hendrix... I had a romantic feeling about how these people became famous.
They gave it to us for about five bucks a week, and we just went there to live. Probably the first band that ever did that back then and it became the famous cottage.
My hair has never been my greatest feature, so that was funny enough unto itself that my hair became so focused on.
