When I came back to Mumbai after boarding school, I was 16 and I picked up weight training and yoga. This is when I also started dance classes and Pilates and then I started doing different workouts every month. I am now proficient in kick boxing, gymnastics, classical dance as well as yoga.
When you’re a kid, you might be picked on for your differences. When you’re an adult, employers, colleges, friends – people look for differences when you’re adult, and that’s what makes you shine and stand out.

I’d always liked to read, but when I picked up books I wasn’t getting the same kind of excitement from them that I was from going out clubbing. I wanted to get the same kind of feel.

Kazan was an old friend, I met him in 1938. He picked up radio jobs for eating money, so I met him on a couple of radio shows. Later on I was in a play he directed.
Bill Gates recently picked up the ukulele. And Warren Buffett is a huge ukulele fan. I even got to strum a few chords with Francis Ford Coppola. It blows my mind that these people, who have everything in the world they could want, have picked up the ukulele and found a little bit of joy.
I don’t know why it was canceled, but ‘Mancuso, FBI,’ it should have had a good long run, but it wasn’t picked up. Maybe there was a problem with me. I have no idea.

I’ve designed since I was 12. The first was when I skated to Carmen, in red and gold and black. I wanted so many frills at that time. It had a lot going on for a little person like me. And I picked out fabrics that didn’t stretch. Very uncomfortable.
From Under 15s to Under 19s, I was concentrating playing for England, it was close to me, I could just go to St George’s Park, it was nice. Going back to school when you’ve just played for England, it was amazing, you’re one of the best players in the country, that’s why you’re getting picked.
My Dad was from Liverpool, and he picked it up in the army. He’d often come out with this stuff.

I’ve never had formal drama-school training; I’ve just picked things up as I’ve gone along.
I don’t think the Lakers really knew me when they first drafted me. They just saw my name and my size and my stats. They just picked somebody because they had to.

Skating is much more of an individual sport, and then there is a team event once the team is picked.
Detroit has always been a rock and roll audience for me and picked up on me and my performances long before a lot of other places in the country. I will never forget that. It’s a home away from home. I love it.
The cops picked me up for attempted murder. I can still see the detectives, licking their chops. Thought they had me. Two weeks later, the cat came out of a coma and told the truth. I was innocent.
Things are forgotten and then perhaps picked up again, if we’re lucky, it lasts… if not, then it’s in the lap of the gods. The important thing was to do some work that I liked and hopefully that some others might also like, whether for a minute, a week, a month, a year.
The quarterbacks who are picked in the first round and are declared – and I don’t like the word – busts, it’s not that the scouts were wrong about their ability or their potential. But commitment is such a huge part of it.
God’s been good to me, He really has. I don’t know why he picked me out… Just think about it: I virtually coached in my hometown. From the middle of the Meadowlands field, it can’t be but a couple of miles. I was lucky to do that.
I told Gamboa he picked the wrong fighter and the wrong city, and I was right. I never felt any danger in the fight.
I was a fat little kid with a speech impediment. I used to get beat up, not just picked on.

I have breakups that I can credit to every song. In my twenties, I picked people who would create that dysfunction and drama, so I could draw upon it.
Anupam can make you feel good in any situation. His sense of humour and connection with people makes him special. We both are real people and have not picked up the airs of stardom.

For many years, I picked the wrong men, or they picked me. I think if you don’t feel attractive or worth something as a woman, you attract men who don’t really look after you. That’s what happened to me, but I realise that those relationships were like a journey, helping me to learn something about myself.
Well… Actually I got picked because I was the only one who fit the wedding gown – they had my size.
I got picked on a lot as a kid.

You know, dramas are much more expensive to do than say a comedy, so any kind of deficit like that is picked up on when it comes time for them to pick up new shows.
There are a lot of comedians that were bullied and picked on, and that’s why they became comedians. Survival of the fittest.
