So, I remember when I was a kid, I was waiting for my mom to come home when she was working late, and, you know, I was like, ‘Oh my God, what happened to her? Is she OK? Did something happen to her getting in the car?’ I was a little kid. But those are actually early onsets of anxiety.
When I was a little kid we moved to Tulsa, then to St. Louis and, by the time I was in kindergarten, we lived in Springfield, Missouri. There I basically grew up.
When you talk about bullying I always go back to when I was at school, a bully was a big kid picking on a little kid.
My father is a university professor so when the schools needed a little kid for their productions I was often the kid they used. The first time I was ever on stage was about 2nd grade.
I’m a little kid from Azusa – for people to even know my name in Singapore, that is huge for me. That’s what I’ve always dreamed of.
I wanted long hair my whole life. When I was a little kid, my mom would be like, ‘We get our hair cut once a month.’ So I just always got my hair cut.
When you grow up Jewish, you are exposed at a very young age to the phenomenon of anti-Semitism and its extreme manifestation in the Holocaust. I spent a lot of time as a little kid wondering how something like that could happen.
I was a fat little kid with a speech impediment. I used to get beat up, not just picked on.
I was a technology reporter. And I think everybody who covers tech at some point or another feels like a little kid with their face pressed against the glass looking in at the candy shop and going, ‘Wow, it looks so cool and so much fun.’
As a little kid, I was convinced that I was a guy.
Even back in elementary school, I was a leader, but a leader who didn’t know how to channel my leadership skills in a constructive way. When I was younger, it probably came out as being more of a bossy little kid.
You know sit with your arm around a little kid and read. It not only teaches them to read but it keeps the family strong.
I was a kid living in New Jersey, who – I’d wanted to make movies since I was a little kid, so that came before music for me. But I started playing drums just as a hobby, and I wasn’t even really into jazz that much.
Most actors are like, ‘I want to be more like Marlon Brando.’ But when I was a little kid, I just wanted to be an action hero! Then I grew up, and my interests were different.
When I was a little kid, I loved imagining things. I’d go outside and put on a cape and just imagine I was somebody else.
I was always that little kid that irritated people.
When I’m a little kid watching Chicago Bears games, hot salsa would be on the table and the first time I was like, ‘Ah, this is hot Dad, get mild salsa,’ and he was like: ‘Not in my house. We have real salsa. And if you can’t handle real salsa then you can just eat dry chips.’
When I get on a course that’s not very good, that’s not tough, I fall asleep. Mentally I must be lazy, like a little kid, but I always seem to do well when there’s a tough situation.
A few things I’ve noticed about myself as a listener, and the music that I relate to and the music that’s continued to mean something to me since I was a little kid or a teenager, is that they’re songs that tell stories and songs that come from a place of experience.
I’ve always been fascinated with sound, since I was a little kid when my mother Dorothy Dean took me to my first piano lesson. Later on, my guitar, bass guitar, and synthesizer were my secret weapons.
I wasn’t rapping and freestyling in high school. I wasn’t telling people I was gonna be a rapper when I was a little kid. It wasn’t set in stone that it was my dream.
Sondheim has been a part of my musical collective since I was eight. I was a dramatic little kid.
One of the things that comedy has given me over the years is a really good ability to laugh at myself and to not take things that don’t matter too much too seriously. I feel that very little offends me anymore and I’m really grateful for that because I think I was a pretty uptight little kid.
When I was a little kid, I always wanted to be an oceanographer.
I never even thought about playing professionally. I didn’t think that was a possibility for a little kid from Illinois.
Comics are a dying art. If you ask a little kid to choose between a video game with insane graphics or comic books… you have to compete with cable, satellite TV with its thousands of channels, and with video games that are like movies, with CGI explosions where you can blow up worlds.
Ever since I was a little kid and first heard Jimmy Reed’s ‘Honey, Don’t Let Me Go,’ the blues has been in my blood.
How many years have I been watching the U.S. Open? Since I was a little kid.
I’ve been on Prozac for 12 years and I’m off it now. I know what it feels like to be excited and sad again. I haven’t felt like this in 12 years; I’m like a giddy little kid.
I’m so not a comic book guy. The most I knew about ‘The Flash,’ as a little kid, was the Underoos. I had ‘The Flash’ Underoos.
The human life is all one thing, like a blade tracing loops on the ice: a little kid, a twenty-three-year-old infantry sergeant, a middle-aged writer knowing guilt and sorrow.
My mother got me into music when I was a little kid. She used to play music, blast it, when she was cleaning the house, while I was crawling around. I just love loud music.
When I was a little kid we got whipped. It was nothing new to me, I was used to it.
I’ve always loved movies, since I was a little kid, but I never wanted to be part of that industry. It always seemed horrifying, the way films were made.
I remember my mother taking me as a very little kid to the roof of our home in Phnom Penh, Cambodia, to look at the bombs exploding in the distance. She didn’t want us to be scared by the booms and the strange flashes of light. It was her way of helping us to understand what was happening.
I learned to ride a ten-speed when I was 4 or 5. My uncle gave me the bike, hand-me-down, and everyone used to stare at me riding up and down this block. I was too short to reach the pedals, so I put my legs through the V of the frame. I was famous. The little kid who could ride the ten-speed.
I do want to have kids. Every time I see a little kid, I get excited, and I want to spend time with them.
It’s funny, as a little kid, you look up to those guys who you play as in ‘Madden,’ and now to see myself in the game, it’s an honor.
One thing I’ve been doing since I was a little kid and that’s score touchdowns so if somebody needs somebody to get in the red zone and do some work, I could probably still do that pretty well.
To be truthful, when I’d be on the bus when I was a little kid, like fourth, fifth grade, we’d always be free-styling and playing around.
I’ve worked hard my whole life, since I was a little kid. But now it’s a point in my life now where I can just enjoy it, but at the same time I still need to work.
I always had good skin as a little kid, but when I turned 25, everything just went south.
I was never a sit-in-the-audience-type person. Even as a little kid, when I saw a band performing at a restaurant, I would ask them if I could sing a song.
And then I got into sports and gave my guitar to my brother Jeff who was just a little kid at that time.
I’m really into Spider-Man, in particular. Since I was a little kid.
I had a bowl cut. That was pretty bad. Definitely a bowl cut. And I used to have blond, like really, really, blond hair when I was a kid. So blond bowl cut – that’s what I was rocking when I was a little kid.
I think when someone becomes an actor, people say, Aw, you could see it in him when he was little. But I think you can see that quality in every little kid.
I’m originally from Dallas, Texas, where Bonnie and Clyde were from, so when I was a little kid, my grandfather used to drive me past the Barrow Filling Station. At my elementary school, there was a barn outside that they used to say was a Bonnie and Clyde hangout.
I remember as a little kid watching the Opry from the nosebleeds, so to stand onstage and be invited to be a member was really, really cool.
I used to get really jealous of Ron Howard as Opie on ‘The Andy Griffith Show’ – we were the same age. I would just think, ‘God, that little kid can work, and I can’t!’
When you’re a little kid, you are small, your life is small – and you’re terrifically aware of that. But when you read, you can ride Arabian horses across the desert, you can be a dogsledder.
I think I was really lucky to work as a little kid at PayPal, grew up in the Valley as a coder.
I really love history. When I was a little kid in Brazil, it was my favorite subject in school. I always did really well in it.
I’ve had insomnia since I was a little kid and I never sleep well. Sometimes I sleep very badly and sometimes I sleep slightly badly. I get it especially when I’m on tour because you cross a lot of time zones, and I’m not very adaptable.
I started singing when I was a little kid. I was about nine when we had a group with my four brothers. We sang spirituals. The old regular thing.
‘Close Encounters of the Third Kind.’ Big, big, big smash for me. My birth of the love of cinema was born with ‘Close Encounters’ and ‘2001.’ Those sci-fi movies I saw when I was a little kid.
For some reason, ever since I was a little kid, I wake with the most energy of the day, and it slowly declines from there.
