Initially my father was not very happy with the mimicry stuff, but when he saw that it was giving me direction he had no problems.

Instagram was initially launched as a community for artists and photographers.
Initially it was a journey about one girl who wanted to go to the Paralympics but over the two years it has become something I was doing for everyone else. The reason I wanted to do it so badly was so I could stand here and show it can be done even if you have setbacks.
I had no choice initially as an actress to get a break in Bollywood. Moreover, in those days, I was just feeling my way through Bollywood. I almost felt like an intruder, as I was not familiar with the ways of the industry.
Initially I thought: ‘I would never get cast opposite Will Smith! No one would ever buy it with the age difference, our personalities.’ I can’t think of a couple that makes less sense in every way, shape and form.
I don’t think that a Singularity would be visible to those going through one. Even the most disruptive changes are not universally or immediately distributed, and late followers learn from the reactions and dilemmas of those who had initially encountered the disruptive change.
I think my dad did legal work for someone who had a Packard Bell 8088, and they couldn’t pay him, so they gave him a computer. I was initially not allowed to touch it, but that didn’t last long. I started tinkering with it, and there were many times I screwed up the computer.

In my experience, not just in shooting films but in the commercials I’ve done, initially, it’s very exciting for the community, and its a real novelty. Very quickly, though, they realize there’s a buck to be had, and it becomes annoying, and they lose their patience pretty quick.
Everything in ‘The Tudors’ is initially based on my historical research, and the fact is that the most unlikely scenes were the ones which were probably most based on reality. I prefer to be as real as possible, and there is so much of that story that you just can’t make up.
Initially, I got admission in Hindu College, but it was far from my home in Malviya Nagar. Since I was modelling, too, I opted for Gargi.
For the longest time, computers have been associated with work. Mainframes were for the Army, government agencies, and then large companies. Workstations were for engineers and software programmers. PCs were initially for other white-collar jobs.
We don’t like trends. We formed initially because we felt we had something of our own to say. What was happening was lacking in certain aspects – it needed a different point of view, a variant on things, but with the same attack, impact.
I am absolutely okay with jokes on me now, but initially, yes, I was perturbed ki why me? I am not a personality on whom jokes are made randomly. Later, I was like, if everyone is enjoying jokes on me, even I should laugh it off instead of opposing them.

I think of myself as more additive than initially creative; I don’t come up with the stories.
A catechism is simply a tool for teaching the fundamentals of the faith. Unlike a creed or confession, a catechism uses questions and answers.

I think I went to Italy initially for the art, architecture, food and history, but I stayed there because of the people in Cortona.

I became a soldier, not because I had a military vocation initially, but because it was the only way that that young, poor-class child from the provinces could go to the center of the country: through baseball, which was my dream.
Initially I had intended to study medicine, but before going to University I had decided that I would be better suited to a career in which I could concentrate my activities and interests more on a single goal than appeared to be possible in my father’s profession.
Initially charged with assaulting a police officer and resisting arrest I was held for 36 hours, was beaten by cops and made to stand spread eagled against the cell wall for 12 hours with no food or water, until I collapsed. Everyone was strip searched on the way in.
When I was initially charged I still thought I was not guilty because I had followed the rules.
Every situation, no matter how complex it initially looks, is exceedingly simple.

Initially, the site was favourably reviewed in a leading new media publication and the word spread.
Initially my makeup for the character of Ramola Sikand in TV serial ‘Kahin Kisi Roz’ raised eyebrows of many who were of the opinion that my looks were too gaudy. But soon I was appreciated by the viewers as well as the industry.
When you’re initially a heel, it’s easier to be a heel. I’d rather people hate me than try to get them to love me.
I never wanted to be a writer initially. It was not my thing, but I was an avid reader.
Are we truly being our sisters’ keepers? Initially, that dog-eat-dog mentality within us may bark and say that we aren’t responsible for other people, but if that was truly the case, then why are we even here? We have so much to offer and give to this world.
I played didgeridoo from a young age – on the vacuum cleaner, initially.
Initially we were spitting lyrics over garage beats, in that eight-bar gap where there wasn’t a vocal. But we were rebellious towards garage because they were rebellious towards us; a lot of their gatekeepers said grime was too violent.
In order to become prosperous, a person must initially work very hard, so he or she has to sacrifice a lot of leisure time.
While eating gluten-free may help you lose weight initially because it eliminates baked goods, one has to be smart when choosing replacement options because the gluten-free versions often have the same number of calories.

Initially after ‘Sherlock,’ I got offered a lot of swinger movies. There is that thing of keeping your mystique and not taking your clothes off in every job.
I watch a movie or a T.V. show or whatever; if it’s good, I like to watch it more than once, and it’s always fun to catch something you didn’t see initially.

While initially I would crave food late at night, I worked hard on it and now my body has accepted the new change. I don’t follow any diet, I just don’t eat anything between 7 pm-12 pm.
With The Fugees initially, and even with ‘Miseducation’, it was very hip-hop – always a singing over beats. I don’t think people have really heard me sing out. So if I do record again, perhaps it will have an expanded context. Where people can hear a bit more.
