Bayern had no international success in the years before I joined, and my goal was actually to play at the best possible level, which would have meant winning the Champions League.
I was very fortunate that a teacher saw that I read a lot and got bored very easily and had a lot of energy, so she said, ‘You’ve got to go to this youth theater.’ I joined Manchester Youth Theatre when I was really young, and I just loved putting on and being involved in plays and telling stories.
As I told a friend of mine once who asked me why I joined Mercury, I think if I had been alive 150 years ago, I might have wanted to go out and help open up the West.
Figo was my hero. Then he joined Madrid. Barca fans hated him for that. It was impossible for him to be a hero any more, but now that I’m a professional, I see things differently.
I joined another circle and the leader gave us a little leaflet in very small print, asking us to read it carefully and then come prepared to ask questions. It was a technical Marxist subject and I did not understand it nor did I know what questions to ask.
When I joined Ford, in the late 1970s, I felt strongly we could not forever be a huge user of natural resources without there being consequences. But I was alone in my thinking in those days.
I have joined the BJP to help disabled people.
I wanted to show something good in Serie A when I joined Genoa.
I have heard of novels started in the middle, at the end, written in patches to be joined together later, but I have never felt the slightest desire to do this.
Our nation was founded with a bunch of founding legislators who joined together to move our country out of the blocks and get us started, and every generation since then has found a way to advance the ball down the field.
I joined YC to recover from the brain damage of starting companies.
After college, rather than pursue real work, I joined a folk group and sang in coffee houses and nightclubs, an occupation that does little for the intellect and even less for the complexion.
I was similar to Trump well before I joined his campaign.
I joined bit.ly as chief scientist in October of 2009. The company is a URL-shortener and content-sharing platform; we provide tools for people to share and track links on the Internet.
I joined the after-school club, School of Comedy, which progressed wildly, and in quite a Hollywood way. It sounds like ‘School of Rock’, right up to trying to raise money to pay for a venue in Edinburgh.
My interest in protein breakdown as a research problem began in l955 at about the time I joined the Biochemistry Department of Yale University. It was known that proteins break down intracellularly in the mature animal.
When I joined the Marine Corps, you have to do a vocational test to get in, and I took the test, they were like, ‘You did great. You can do anything you want to do.’ I said, ‘OK, I want to do this.’ ‘Except for that because you’re a woman.’
When I was six, I joined an amateur club called VK Tielrode in Belgium where I lived.
No trooper, no special forces operative wants to sit behind a desk. We joined up to kick some doors down.
When I first joined SAG, there was another John Reilly. My dad was John Reilly, too, but growing up I was John John. Nobody in life calls me John C. It’s more like, ‘Hey you, Step Brother!’
Had I joined a straight rock band, I’m sure my drumming would be a little bit different right now.
When I joined Newcastle, at the beginning it was difficult. During pre-season, there was no Ramadan and I also didn’t score then. So it’s a myth. It was about getting into the team, knowing the players better and how they play. My team-mates also have to understand how I play and move.
I was actually wilder before I joined Cold Chisel. I was really wild.
I joined the church choir because there were these two hot chicks. Then people started giving me compliments. ‘You really have a good voice.’ Really? I just joined the choir for these girls.
When I came to Spain, I joined a tennis academy, and that was where I learnt the game.
I joined the army on my seventeenth birthday, full of the romance of war after having read a lot of World War I British poetry and having seen a lot of post-World War II films. I thought the romantic presentations of war influenced my joining and my presentation of war to my younger siblings.
I think that the health care industry is so complex that it doesn’t necessarily start with a single killer app. You go back to the early days of the personal computer – when I joined the industry, we really didn’t know what the killer app was going to be.
The idea of the duets albums was the people who joined Frank Sinatra in each song were themselves successful record artists, I never was. I felt a certain apprehension at the time that some people thought my being there was pure nepotism. I felt kind of out of place about that.
When I was 18, I joined the Screen Actors Guild, and after college I came to New York.
My parents came to America in the late 1960s because my father studied for a Ph.D. in Indiana. My mother joined him later. We had ancestors who came over at the turn of the century. One worked in a laundry, as is typical of Chinese-American immigrants.
Our immigrants joined a settler culture, Anglo-Saxon and Protestant, that demanded assimilation to its norms.
I joined a organisation called Wycliffe Bible Translators that had the objective of translating the Bible into all the languages of the world, and to do that you had to study linguistics, and so that was my initial exposure to linguistics.

Rajkumar was the winner of ‘Naalaya Iyakkunar Season 2,’ and I was impressed with his short film. He joined me as an assistant when I started the pre-production work for ‘Vada Chennai.’
The nice girl meets a guy and acts like she joined a cult. In the beginning, a guy might ask her what she likes. The nice girl makes the mistake of shrugging her shoulders and saying: ‘I like anything you like.’
I grew up in Manchester, and we were very poor. My father was a miner who joined the Navy during the war and developed a lung disease and had to have a lung removed.
