As a boy, I was never interested in theater because I came from a working-class Scottish home. I thought, 'I want to do movies.' Then it was finding the means to do it.
Everyone at home thought I was nuts when I said I wanted to be an actress, and I'm sure they were just trying to protect me from disappointment.
One sweetly solemn thought, comes to me o'er and o'er; I am nearer home today, than I ever have been before.
We wanted to write a whole song about partying and then taking Yellow Cabs home. That's the weirdest topic we've ever thought of centering a song around.
When a small child, I thought that success spelled happiness. I was wrong, happiness is like a butterfly which appears and delights us for one brief moment, but soon flits away.
Marriage is wild. I thought it was this perfect land of happiness and joy. Wrong! After you say you do, you don't for a long time.
Harrison Ford was pretty content as a carpenter who thought it would be nice to work on TV and ended up being the biggest film star in the history of cinema.

We always thought the Tom Tom Club could change to anything, but it acquired this image, which was cartoon animation and this real light-hearted dance music.
I hate the thought of my children being glued to a screen. Children only play on computers all day because their parents let them.
It is because my dad died suddenly that I became an actor. I thought, I'm going to make money doing this thing I enjoy.
My parents met in the theatre, and I thought that was so romantic. My dad was a scenic designer and my mom was a dancer, and that's how they met; they met in the theatre.
My dad was an attorney. The last thing he ever thought about was clothes, and yet somehow he always looked good.
I was in two episodes playing Christopher Reeve's character's emissary. They wanted to have my character announce Dr Swan's death, which I thought was exploitative.
I never, in my wildest dreams, could I have thought that the first role I get out of school would lead to an Oscar nomination.
I've been so showered in life, beyond my wildest dreams, such as having a loving partner I never thought I'd have.
I started dating older men, and I would fall in love with them. I thought they could teach me about life.
When the state or federal government control the education of all of our children, they have the dangerous and illegitimate monopoly to control and influence the thought process of our citizens.
So I was shampooing at 14. But I've always thought that had I the opportunity for an education, I would have been an architect. There's no question about it.
