It is human nature, especially as we get older, to look

Sonia Sotomayor

We have been getting out of the situation where we found ourselves in the early ’90s, when the Soviet Union disappeared and the Russian Federation became what it is – you know, with no borders, with no budget, no money, and with huge problems starting with lack of food and so on and so forth.
Sergei Lavrov
Baseball’s Opening Day is full of time-honored traditions: the President throws out the first ball, the Cubs’ starting pitcher walks away with a 54.00 ERA, the Royals get mathematically eliminated from the pennant race.
Rob Sheffield
Take a look at all of them: Marichal, Jenkins, Spahn – what do you think made them successful? They conditioned their arms by pitching more, not less, starting from when they signed their first contract.
Tom Seaver
Because the sad fact is that the Enron Corporation and others manipulated with unfortunately great effect the energy market in the West Coast starting in 2000.
Jay Inslee
Halas didn’t believe in starting rookies.
Gale Sayers
When you’re first starting out, there’s always the temptation to hide behind distortion because it lets you get away with murder. But, when it comes to rhythm work, you’ve gotta back off that gain control a bit, especially if you’re playing with another guitarist.
Kirk Hammett
I remember making the all-star team in Little League when I was around 11 years old. I was not a great athlete, but I loved it, so making starting second base in the all-star was great for me. I think someone must have been sick and they slotted me in.
Ralph Macchio
I came of age at the end of the 1960s, just when video was also coming into the world. Companies such as Sony and Panasonic were starting to market it and we artists immediately knew how it could be used.
Bill Viola
To figure out what people think, look at the stories that they tell. We might never get away from the image of Sheldon from ‘The Big Bang Theory’ breaking down in the middle of the store, not knowing which console to buy, but we can see in TV and movies how regular characters are more and more starting to play games.
Rob Manuel
We are starting in the days where there is no discrimination, no distinction between one community and another, no discrimination between one caste or creed and another. We are starting with this fundamental principle: that we are all citizens, and equal citizens, of one State.
Muhammad Ali Jinnah
I’m starting to play all the melodies with kind of keyboard sound but playing it from the bass guitar.
Tom Jenkinson
Because Ritchie Valens WAS the real deal. He was only starting, but in the time he spent in the business, he made big impact. I don’t know if anybody could have made a bigger one.
Waylon Jennings
I think the advice, regardless of gender, is always be open to conversations with people who do things differently than you do. If you’re starting to work in tech, talk to the artists, talk to the lawyers, talk to the people who are interested in other things.
Beth Simone Noveck
The trajectory started when I was on the roof of our house looking out at a swamp when I was 19. I had written for several years, starting at about 15, but that day on the roof I took my vows and acknowledged my calling.
Jim Harrison
You leave old habits behind by starting out with the thought, ‘I release the need for this in my life’.
Wayne Dyer
Experience has taught me that you have to improve all the time-little bit by little bit-and not keeping starting everything from new.
Jean Alesi
Shoes are a good starting point. I’ve become quite fussy about them! A patent pair of Sonia Rykiel oxfords have become invaluable.
Jessica Raine
Like, I always knew I wanted a Kanye West feature and a Jay-Z feature. I knew that starting in the game when it wasn’t even realistic to happen. I already knew who I wanted to do records with.
Yo Gotti
But the way that we’ve got it organized in our family, we try not to work at the same time, so I’m just now starting to look around. I think I’d like to do a film.
Peter Sarsgaard
The Beatles, they brought a whole new dimension to pop music. Of course, the psychedelic period is much more interesting to me, starting with ‘Rubber Soul’ and on to the ‘White Album.’ Great, great records. I was such a Beatles fan. I was very sad when they broke up.
John McLaughlin
Learning lines is on my mind until I do know them. I'll

Learning lines is on my mind until I do know them. I’ll read the paper or paint the house to keep from starting to memorize. I’ve never found an easy way.
Paul Lynde
There’s no point in starting a business unless you’re going to make a dramatic difference to other people’s lives. So if you’ve got an idea that’s gonna make a big difference to other people’s lives, then just get on and do it.
Richard Branson
A lot of young people just starting out unskilled, as all Americans do when they’re born here, come to this country, and so the business community is for immigration. Big businesses, small businesses, high-tech, low-tech, the communities of faith, and the Republican leadership.
Grover Norquist
I opposed No Child Left Behind, I opposed the Medicare prescription drug bill, I opposed the Wall Street bailout. What the American people are starting to see is that Republican, Republicans on Capitol Hill get it and the Democrats, from the White House to Capitol Hill, just don’t get it.
Mike Pence
At my first job as an independent researcher at MIT Lincoln Laboratory, they told me I could work on most anything, but not what I knew something about. That is actually very good advice to a young person starting a career because you bring new ideas to the field.
Mildred Dresselhaus
Everybody was starting to grow long hair and wear pink suits and purple glasses and stuff and then, I suppose, some people thought we were crazy, but we weren’t really crazy because we’re all still here!
Noel Redding
I had some great mentors as I was coming up and starting to sing so early – I’ve been singing since I was four. I had people telling me how to preserve myself.
Gladys Knight
If I’m going to be the best in what I do, I have to study what I’m doing, I have to see what I’m doing. I have to see it, I have to hear it. I’m just starting to appreciate myself – not starting, but appreciating myself in a way where I can look at myself back in a movie or listen to myself as much as I do now.
Mary J. Blige
The most romantic thing a guy has ever done for me is starting a family. That’s as romantic as it gets.
Isla Fisher
I’d hate to be a songwriter starting a career today.
Otis Blackwell
I suppose my father was more influential in my starting to play the guitar.
Andy Partridge
Dickens, as you know, never got round to starting his home page.
Terry Pratchett
Empathy is the starting point for creating a community and taking action. It’s the impetus for creating change.
Max Carver
Skepticism is an important historical tool. It is the starting point of all revision of hitherto accepted history.
Samuel E. Morison
Basically, the start of my thinking process is: ‘OK, if you didn’t have to worry about re-election, what would you be doing?’ That’s kind of how I’m starting to think.
Ray Nagin
My message of common-sense solutions is resonating with people. People around the country are starting to know who I am and starting to identify me with solutions, not rhetoric.
Herman Cain
I’m single. I just moved to a new city. I’m sort of starting over. I’m in Los Angeles. I don’t really know what my life is right now. It’s not what I thought it’d be at 37, and I think a lot of people can relate to that.
Sutton Foster
Do not forget that the Arab countries, starting with Algeria and Egypt, are the ones that have paid the heaviest toll because of Islamic terror.
Omar Bongo
It’s quite an interesting time, the ’20s, because the politics of England were changing quite a lot, and the class structure was starting to shift a little.
Julian Ovenden
I’m the Ali of today. I’m the Marvin Gaye of today. I’m the Bob Marley of today. I’m the Martin Luther King, or all the other greats that have come before us. And a lot of people are starting to realise that now.
R. Kelly
I do hope that our spring will be starting shortly and we will all be able to enjoy some sunshine again.
Lesley Garrett
I think at the heart of the pro-life movement is the idea that all people are created equal, endowed by their creator with certain unalienable rights starting with life.
Mike Huckabee
I played American Legion ball starting when I was 14. But I didn’t catch until I was 17. I was 75-3 as a high school pitcher, but it was like everybody knew that I was supposed to be a catcher. When the scouts would come around, and I was pitching, they’d make me take infield practice so the scouts could watch me throw.
Johnny Bench
It hurt me a great deal. It put a lot of pressure on me because I was at a young age and the writers around here and throughout the league starting comparing me to Cobb. It put a lot of pressure on me.
Al Kaline
It’s the uncertainty, the challenge and the willingness to put it all on the line that draws a lot of people to climb mountains. That can also apply to a lot of other challenges in life, whether it’s running for office, starting a family, going to grad school or taking all of your cash and assets and starting a business.
Mark Udall
When I was starting out, I always wanted to be able to do everything – comedy and drama and action, and everything in between. Film is so diverse, and it’s fun to be able to take advantage of all of it.
Olivia Thirlby
The hardest thing for me about making movies, and that included ‘M*A*S*H’ because it was made like a movie, was starting and stopping.
Alan Alda
I love writing but hate starting. The page is awfully white, and it says, ‘You may have fooled some of the people some of the time, but those days are over, giftless. I’m not your agent, and I’m not your mommy; I’m a white piece of paper. You wanna dance with me?’ and I really, really don’t. I’ll go peaceable-like.
Aaron Sorkin
I behaved poorly by starting this whole thing and I made some mistakes in dealing with it, and they made some mistakes in dealing with me, and taking down all my stuff was probably one of them.
Gregg Easterbrook
If they were starting their careers today, Rockwell and Picasso would probably both be painting on black velvet.
Brad Holland
I’m going to spend some time with my family. My kids are really in the years where I’m starting to miss more stuff, and we’re going to stay very involved in politics.
Tim Griffin
The strange thing was, when I was starting on YouTube,

The strange thing was, when I was starting on YouTube, even the paradigm of YouTube and Internet sensation – or whatever – that didn’t really exist. So I didn’t even know that that was a thing.
Bo Burnham
Starting in music, where I get a chance to connect with the lyrics of a song, I learned so much about performing on stage and connecting to your audience and to what you’re singing about. Singing is very emotional. Every song has its own purpose.
Naturi Naughton
When you’re starting off as a young writer, you look at all the stuff that’s gone before and the stuff that’s influenced you, and you reach the ladle of your imagination into this bubbling stew pot of all of this stuff, and you pour it out. And that’s where you start from.
Neil Gaiman
I had so many people try to talk me out of starting a rocket company, it was crazy.
Elon Musk
While ‘Visitation Street’ has the markings of a traditional whodunnit mystery – starting with a missing girl, intrigue and many suspicious characters – Pochoda shows her hand early on by fingering a culprit. The book turns, then, into a ‘whydunnit.’
Claire Cameron
I think that one of the problems that jazz has is that it’s so incestuous that it’s starting to kill itself.
Branford Marsalis
There are compelling reasons to implement a true America First immigration plan, starting with border security. We are a land of immigrants. Immigration, with assimilation, has generally been good for America.
Niger Innis
Modeling can be a bit brain damaging. Starting my own brand was what I needed to do. I only model if there are such good jobs that you don’t want to say no to. All that dressing up makes me say, ‘What do I want to wear?’ and, ‘What do I want to do with Topshop?’ It all kind of leads into the other things.
Kate Moss
I feel so sorry for younger actors who aren’t able to have the opportunities that I had, starting out in repertory theatre. It’s really tough on young actors now.
Antony Sher
Some authors, when starting a novel, imagine a place first. Others, a character starts taking shape in their head. I start with a hook, a situation, a ‘what if.’
Linwood Barclay
There are two ways to look at my publishing career. One is that I’m a novelist churning out books, who is eight into a series; the other way is that I’m a cartoonist, just starting out. Most cartoonists have long careers: Charles Schulz drew Peanuts for 50 years.
Jeff Kinney
Hats off to starting a franchise younger than we all did in ‘Twilight’ and keeping your cool. The ‘Harry Potter’ men and women had, what, a 10-year run?
Kellan Lutz
I’ve been an actor for 14 years now and a lot of that time was spent in theatre and television. Then I moved to L.A. to try and build upon that and it’s starting to pay off!
David Oyelowo
It is best not to swat at the fly’s starting position, but rather to aim a bit forward of that to anticipate where the fly is going to jump when it first sees your swatter.
Michael Dickinson
I use a Bruce Lee technique: ‘The way of no way.’ He had the idea that he would learn everything, so that whoever he had to fight, he could improvise anything. The best way of starting a gig is just to not think of anything – to clear your mind, not in an empty Zen state, but more just to go on and see where you go.
Eddie Izzard
The great thing is that young talent isn’t tied to a how-to model for starting a line; we get to find new ways to go about doing things. And don’t let people tell you you can’t. Go find a way to show that you can.
Alexander Wang
The Internet is a very powerful tool; unfortunately it’s starting to get a little saturated.
Theophilus London
‘The Food Network’ was just starting in New York, and I was getting lots of attention from Mesa Grill. They had no money, so if you couldn’t get there by subway, you couldn’t be on. It wasn’t like TV was something I really wanted to do – but I knew it would be great publicity for my restaurants.
Bobby Flay
Having the person that you love by your side and starting a family with them is the best thing that can happen to you in this life. You can’t ask for more.
Elsa Pataky
Joining a new church and starting a new life is never easy and often frightening.
Joseph B. Wirthlin
Starting and feeding into the cultural war is absolutely unequivocally wrong for us as a nation and bad for the conservative movement.
Tim Scott
I don’t want to write a novel per year. I know that I need a break of one or two years. So maybe I invent some new, urgent activity so I don’t fall into the trap of starting a new novel.
Umberto Eco
My first audition happened to be for ‘Kindergarten Cop,’ and I took that role. I was only starting to learn English at that point. Spanish is my first language, so they made me a speaking character in the movie. I didn’t really know I was shooting a movie. I was just having a lot of fun with 30 kids my own age.
Odette Annable
I have been influenced by many different artists at many different stages of my life. Starting out, it was people like Elton John, Billy Joel, Ben Folds, and Fiona Apple. As I got older I got deeper into the work of bands like the Beatles, artists like Sam Cooke, Ray Charles, Etta James, and Joni Mitchell.
Sara Bareilles
Leonardo Fibonacci, the great 13th century Italian mathematician (1175-1250) created the ‘Fibonacci sequence’ to explain behavior in nature mathematically. History has it that the first question he posed was how many rabbits would be created in one year starting with one pair.
Rick Santelli
I live intimately with my characters before starting a book. I cut out pictures of them for my wall. I do time lines for each major character and a time line for the entire novel: What is going on in the world as my characters struggle with their problems?
Walter Dean Myers
It is so weird to be on this side of that, because when you’re starting out, and it seems like you’re starting out for so long, you look up to the people who have made their mark. And you sort of want to be that.
Bob Odenkirk
Once in a while, I’ll slip and get off my vegan diet and have egg whites in the morning, that’s a good source of protein while I’m out on the road. If I can feel my body starting to tire, those are good to keep you healthy.
Travis Barker
Think of God; attachments will gradually drop away. If you wait till all desires disappear before starting your devotion and prayer, you will have to wait for a very long time indeed.
Ramana Maharshi
We are starting a process of decolonization in Bolivia. All this is bringing about change and we will continue.
Evo Morales
I absolutely hate mowing the lawn. When I hear the mowers starting, I want to kill myself: it’s the sound of death approaching. Hoovering’s OK, but I never in my life wanted to have a lawn and certainly never wanted to mow one.
Peter Capaldi
Having a Republican candidate speak at the NAACP conven

Having a Republican candidate speak at the NAACP convention is like trying to build a house starting at the roof. If you don’t have a foundation, the roof isn’t going to stand.
J. C. Watts
One of the benefits for me of starting late in this business is I realised that if acting was the only thing I could do, I would struggle, so I always wrote as well.
Sanjeev Bhaskar
I’m starting to teach now: I teach in the graduate film program at NYU and next year I’m going to be teaching at Los Angeles at the film program and English program at UCLA.
James Franco
Growing up, I was such a picky eater. I’m finally starting to expand.
Mike Trout
For you in the West to hear the phrase ‘All men are created equal’ is to draw a yawn. For us, it’s a miracle. We’re starting out at rock bottom, man. But South Africa does have soul.
Athol Fugard
When I’m in the starting gate, it’s just me and the hill.
Mikaela Shiffrin
I think a lot of mothers are doing as I am: starting up their own ventures as their children grow older, and having a kind of second blooming.
Donna Air
I’ve been blessed. Starting with Steppenwolf Theater and onward, learning from wonderful actors and getting to play with wonderful actors.
Jeff Perry
When I was first starting out as a kid, I tried to pad my resume with everything I had ever done – ice-skate, carry a tune. I can’t dance for my life, but I can learn, so I’ll tell people I can dance. I play the piano – I’m a really good pianist, actually.
Alexandra Daddario
That became a big time in comic books because it’s when people were starting to break out into independent stuff, the market was getting choked with speculators and everybody was trying to do their own trick covers.
Todd McFarlane
Flexibility is crucial to my fitness. Incorporating a good warm-up and cool-down into every session decreases my chances of injury. I use both dynamic and static stretching in my training. I’ve starting doing a few yoga sessions which incorporates muscle strength and flexibility.
Samantha Stosur
It’s gonna be weird how there are going to be new ‘Star Wars’ movies every year starting in 2015. I don’t know what that’s going to be like, having one every year. Maybe it’ll be perfect. Maybe it’ll be just the right amount of time to have something to look forward to. Maybe it’ll be too many at once.
Scott M. Gimple
I wanted to get away from the Mexican vernacular and do more ‘nuevo Latino.’ Americans are starting to understand regionality in Mexican food. It is very regional in terms of ingredients.
Aaron Sanchez
People are starting to see that now and I’ve learnt more from those 10 rounds than I have in my previous 10 fights.
Billy Joe Saunders
My first novel was rejected by some of the most eminent publishers in the world. Starting again was a real wrench.
Wilbur Smith
You get to a point where you have to start planning, when you cross that line where you have enough value to get someone’s movie made if you attach yourself to it, you have to be very thoughtful and have to plan. When you’re starting out, you’re willing to do anything.
Chris Pratt
Political chaos is connected with the decay of language… one can probably bring about some improvement by starting at the verbal end.
George Orwell
People don’t realise what a nice thing it is for an actor to go to a job where they know or like everybody, because you’re so often having to do new beginnings, starting off on set with people you don’t know, having to introduce yourself and make friends.
Katherine Parkinson
The thing is, and Americans are starting to realize this now, that while street gangs are violent, the Democrats and Republicans are worse. They are worse because their decisions affect your life.
Jesse Ventura
The joy is in the getting there. The beginning years of starting your business, the camaraderie when you’re in the pit together, are the best years of your life. So rather than being so focused on when you get big and powerful, if you can just get the juice out of that… don’t miss it.
Barbara Corcoran
I’m starting my own family, and there is no other feeling like it.
Daniela Ruah
Apple was our benefactor at starting General Magic, but about a year later decided they would rather BE General Magic and tried to make us blink out of existence… which we eventually did, but it took a few years.
Andy Hertzfeld
I don’t really read any comics, but when I got casted on the show, I starting reading ‘The Walking Dead’ comics. I felt like I needed a better idea of the character.
Chandler Riggs
Even people on the liberal side are starting to worry about going off a fiscal cliff.
Clint Eastwood
Research is starting to show that a child should be engaged at least 20 hours a week. I do not think it matters which program you choose as long as it keeps the child actively engaged with the therapist, teacher, or parent for at least 20 hours a week.
Temple Grandin
What happened in 2008 stopped people in their tracks. People stopped looking at their homes simply as commodities to exploit and starting thinking about how they might personalise that space and make them less bland and more autobiographical, and that’s healthy, I think.
Kevin McCloud
People ask me what’s the most important function when you’re starting an organization or setting up the kind of culture and values that are going to endure. The discipline I believe so strongly in is H.R., and its the last discipline that gets funded.
Howard Schultz
Luckily, I went to school at CalArts, and then ended up here at Disney, starting in the Animation Building and working my way up. I started as an animator, and then did character designing and storyboarding, and eventually, directing.
Chris Buck
When I was starting out, William Goldman took me under his wing, and he’s still the person I show pages to.
Aaron Sorkin
When you are just starting out with an online business, there’s a good chance that you’ll be making several mistakes. Because of the mistakes that can be made with starting an online business, many people decide to quit or think that online businesses are just a scam.
Fabrizio Moreira
A great accomplishment shouldn’t be the end of the road, just the starting point for the next leap forward.
Harvey Mackay
I am starting to get into this whole idea of caring abo

I am starting to get into this whole idea of caring about what I wear. There was a time in my life when I could not care less about fashion.
James Marsden
Change happens by listening and then starting a dialogue with the people who are doing something you don’t believe is right.
Jane Goodall
I stayed in the astronaut program until 1993. People ask me why I left. I thought I had a lot of things to contribute that would be difficult to do if I stayed. I thought I could have a stronger voice as an advocate for space exploration. So I ended up starting my own technology consulting company.
Mae Jemison
If you look at the field of robotics today, you can say robots have been in the deepest oceans, they’ve been to Mars, you know? They’ve been all these places, but they’re just now starting to come into your living room. Your living room is the final frontier for robots.
Cynthia Breazeal
Whether I’m on or off the field, I know the importance of getting enough sleep and starting the day with a wholesome breakfast like oatmeal made with milk and fruit.
Andrew Luck
Companies are starting to measure how effective their customer service is and trying to understand what they can do to improve the customer service process.
Sanjay Kumar
Do your eye shadow first, then your foundation. That way, you can clean up any mess without starting all over again.
Zooey Deschanel
I chewed up a lot of Florida highway when I was starting out. Used to come to Tampa two or three times a year for about 10 years straight.
Billy Gardell
There is nothing more natural than to consider everything as starting from oneself, chosen as the center of the world; one finds oneself thus capable of condemning the world without even wanting to hear its deceitful chatter.
Guy Debord
Starting a new job can be nerve-racking , but it’s also exciting. You’re embarking on a new future, positioning yourself to write a fresh story on a clean slate.
Adena Friedman
When I was starting out, young actresses had the studio system to protect them. Now you have a host of sharks, from your agent to your publicist to your lawyer.
Francesca Annis
Young players are starting to come up as well and they will see me as one of the older, experienced ones.
Caroline Wozniacki
I’ve never let producers tell me what to do. Even when I was making television, I always did what I wanted to do, and if I couldn’t, I didn’t do it. It was a freedom that, these days, young directors starting out don’t have.
Michael Haneke
There are many, many more small theater spaces than there were when I was starting out.
Tom Stoppard
Facebook and Instagram are both really popular with teens, both in the U.S. and globally across the world. I think what you’re starting to see is that there are all these different ways that people want to share and communicate.
Mark Zuckerberg
My temperament is not the adventuresome sort that enjoys starting new projects every six months. I love ensemble, nine-to-five stability. There’s a family dynamic in making a television show that you don’t get on a movie, where you’re a hired gun for a few months.
Ted Danson
I get a lot of independent films from people who are starting out.
Loretta Devine
I was watching ‘Up In The Air’ and I thought, ‘Jesus, who’s the old gray-haired guy?’ And it was me. I never wear makeup for movies and now it’s starting to show.
George Clooney
It’s also much clearer how much damage the occupation of Iraq is doing to America’s reputation and prestige around the world; and that’s just starting now to hit home in the United States.
Peter Singer
I kind of thought the writers were starting to take Taylor and make her kind of down and dirty.
Hunter Tylo
As a kid, I harbored this fantasy of starting a company. I looked at the entrepreneur column in Forbes. I looked at it every month and thought, ‘I want to be that guy.’
Jeremy Stoppelman
We have helped to organize the United Nations. We believe it will stop aggressor nations from starting wars. Because we believe it, we intend to support the United Nations organization with all the power and resources we possess.
James F. Byrnes
I grew up loving horses. I was relatively obsessed, starting with my rocking horse at age 2, all the way through my painting and drawing phase.
Diane Lane
The starting point of sanctification is the filthiness, corruption, or stain of sin.
William Ames
I think the age we’re living in is starting to get scary.
Paula Patton
I believe that if you want to fight inequality you have to do it starting at infancy.
Michelle Bachelet
Writing is my love. If you love something, you find a lot of time. I write for two hours a day, usually starting at midnight; at times, I start at 11.
A. P. J. Abdul Kalam
At 35, I’m definitely starting to feel more like a grown-up than I ever have. There’s nothing in my life that is childish or whimsical. Having fun is fantastic and I never want to lose a sense of that – and also, I think, you have to have that to put into your work or else it’s going to feel stiff.
Drew Barrymore
Starting in the mid-’80s, I played in a band called Meat Joy, and we made our own record, toured.
John Hawkes
I had a history for starting something and maybe getting halfway done. Then I’d see the same thing I was doing on the bestseller list! My ideas were right, but I hadn’t done them fast enough.
Lori Greiner
I like the idea of Wild Infancy, of people who have a deprived background, of starting out wild.
Tina Weymouth
More passengers fly in and out of London than any other

More passengers fly in and out of London than any other city in the world. We are well-connected, we have ample capacity, and we are starting from a position of strength. The problem is that we don’t use that capacity well.
Zac Goldsmith
I’m not 18 anymore, so I’m not into starting unnecessary beefs. It’s tacky.
Sasha Grey
Change is always tough. Even for those who see themselves as agents of change, the process of starting a new thing can cause times of disorientation, uncertainty and insecurity.
Joyce Meyer
I got really excited about the idea of data-driven startup just as I was starting Kaggle.
Anthony Goldbloom
The concept of The ‘Most Beautiful Moment in Life’, that was chapter one for us; it feels like that because we were starting from the bottom, but on this concept, ‘Love Yourself’, we started to talk about some brighter things, like the real things in life.
RM
I think it is a bit harder for women starting in comedy.
Jennifer Saunders
Twitter is my bar. I sit at the counter and listen to the conversations, starting others, feeling the atmosphere.
Paulo Coelho
I was pretty burned out in ’85 and was getting – starting to get into some issues.
Rick Springfield
You cannot have an asset that goes up in price 1% every month or 1% every six months or every day without people starting to start thinking it’ll do the same tomorrow, so that’s why these bubbles form.
Erik Voorhees
We are probably the only artists in the world who have a 2,000-page book on a work of art that doesn’t exist. But in this way, these projects reveal their identity through this whole process. When I’m starting, I only have the slightest idea of how the work of art will exist.
Christo
There are a few things that I will hopefully be credited for as a pioneer. One is my four-mallet playing. Another one is the starting what was first called jazz rock in 1967 when I started my first band, later became jazz fusion by the 1970s.
Gary Burton
If you had told me when I was starting out that I would be coming down to Nashville, kind of weaving in and out of the country scene, I never would’ve thought that in a million years.
Kid Rock
I grew up in the inner city of Chicago, and then I moved to Robbins, and it kind of raised me. When I was in college, I actually had them change the starting lineup to say ‘from Robbins, Illinois’ instead of ‘Chicago, Illinois.’
Dwyane Wade
There are only two mistakes one can make along the road to truth; not going all the way, and not starting.
Buddha
We’re taking sports too far and starting kids too early.
Darell Hammond
All of the people who work in the kitchen with me go out into the forests and on to the beach. It’s a part of their job. If you work with me you will often be starting your day in the forest or on the shore because I believe foraging will shape you as a chef.
Rene Redzepi
I mean when the play was on in New York I was starting to get film offers coming through, and since the film’s come out I get offered more than I used to, but it happens incrementally.
Patrick Marber
To make money in New York, you have to add gigs when starting out, so while I was acting quite a bit, I would do modeling.
June Squibb
When I was still a student, I came out of a performing arts high school, and the female students who were doing traditional dance and ballet were so beautiful. They were beautiful, starting from their postures.
G-Dragon
Learning how to interact with customers is something that anyone starting any business must master. It’s an amazing opportunity to be able to learn the ropes at an established company and then employ your expertise at your own company.
Marc Benioff
I could never have imagined the films I’ve done and the people I’ve worked with when I was starting out; I certainly did not have a career path.
Steve Buscemi
The principle of the endless melody is the perpetual becoming of a music that never had any reason for starting, any more than it has any reason for ending.
Igor Stravinsky
Every season, for me, it’s like starting from scratch again.
Usain Bolt
Somebody had given me a copy of ‘Hunky Dory,’ which had yet to be a hit, although it was starting to percolate. I’d seen a couple of pictures of David, with his interesting hairdo and outfits, and I decided to seek him out, which wasn’t difficult back then, as he was eager to do any kind of publicity.
Mick Rock
When I went to the starting line of the 1976 Olympic marathon in Montreal, it was with the unsettling conviction that some of my competitors were cheaters.
Don Kardong
Particularly for English people, Shakespeare is always at the forefront of both drama and the English language. He’s always been there. I can’t remember starting school and not learning about him.
Jamie Campbell Bower
QLA is not about filling your brain with information – it is starting a fire within your heart and soul!
Dan Pena
But I decided I wanted more education and I had to make a choice between starting law school, which was interesting to me, and going for a graduate degree in engineering.
Daniel J. Evans
Me and my two best friends went to see the Ramones in 1979, and two weeks later, I was like, ‘We’re starting a band. That’s it.’
Ad-Rock
You’re starting to see new record companies and business models taking shape, but it takes time.
Simon Le Bon
I feel like I’ve been very blessed to have some great mentors through the years, starting with Don James, who was my college coach, who really inspired me to want to be a coach, which is not something that I really had in mind.
Nick Saban
I think starting a cinema career late in life has more

I think starting a cinema career late in life has more advantages than disadvantages.
Luke Evans
There’s 20 companies that I have investments in – some batteries, some solar-thermal, one big nuclear thing. We need hundreds and hundreds of companies like that, so that in a 20-year time frame we really are starting to change the energy infrastructure.
Bill Gates
Think both big and small. Loving to bake doesn’t only mean becoming a baker. It could mean starting a blog, becoming a food photographer, or going into organic chemistry.
Taylor Jenkins Reid
Straight sized boards are models size 0-6. Plus size boards are models starting at a 10. If a size 8 girl was 5′ 11 and curvy, she’d be on the plus sized board, because there’s nothing in between.
Hayley Hasselhoff
When I was a kid, I had ambitions for being a television announcer, which was before television took off, you know, in the late ’40s. And just through necessity, going out looking for work, I was starting to sing, and dance, and act, and I never expected to do that, nor to have any success at it at least.
Dick Van Dyke
I’ve done sexual stuff before – onstage, which is even more emotionally difficult. With a TV crew around, you are stopping and starting; it becomes really technical. It’s not erotic at all.
Randy Harrison
I write seven days a week, starting at 4 o’clock in the morning, including Christmas.
Dan Brown
It’s important for young women and men coming out of the fashion schools to think seriously before starting their own collections.
Anna Wintour
But Contra la Puerta was done mostly in the opposite way, starting with sounds and melodies.
Jim Coleman
War on the other hand is such a terrible thing, that no man, especially a Christian man, has the right to assume the responsibility of starting it.
Leo Tolstoy
I remember when I was starting out as a young actress, thinking, ‘Oh my God, I have the fattest face.’ Now I look at those pictures and I think, ‘So much collagen!’
Anne Hathaway
We have agreed with Prime Minister Ariel Sharon to cease all acts of violence against the Israelis and against the Palestinians wherever they are. Tranquility and quiet that will be witnessed and in our land, starting today, is the beginning for a new era.
Mahmoud Abbas
It feels like I’m starting to come into my own in terms of where I want to go artistically, toward more complicated, interesting characters.
Jessica Alba
It’s all about starting momentum, hitting the ground running, and starting out hot.
Samoa Joe
You know, my life’s changed now. I’m starting to experience what people are really supposed to do. You supposed to be married. You’re supposed to have a family, kids, treat your wife right.
Mike Epps
If you and your skills are a complement to the computer, your wage and labor market prospects are likely to be cheery. If your skills do not complement the computer, you may want to address that mismatch. Ever more people are starting to fall on one side of the divide or the other. That’s why ‘average is over.’
Tyler Cowen
Everything about starting out in comedy is pride-swallowing, from handing out fliers to bombing in front of audiences.
Mike Birbiglia
You just have to keep on doing what you do. It’s the lesson I get from my husband; he just says, Keep going. Start by starting.
Meryl Streep
We put more emphasis on who can drive a car than on who can be a parent. And I think there ought to be mandatory parenting classes starting in high school, and you should have to have a license to be able to be a parent to explain that you don’t give alcohol to kids.
Dale Archer
I’m starting to find my own style.
Kara Hayward
I have read a number of books, starting with novels, that I particularly liked.
Enrique Pena Nieto
When I left ‘American Morning’ in 2007, I’d focused on doing documentaries. But I thought ‘Starting Point’ was a great opportunity to be involved in the zeitgeist.
Soledad O’Brien
At age 28, I had no retail experience, no consumer marketing experience and no real Internet experience. But I decided I wanted to work for myself. I felt starting a company would enable me to get the responsibility I deserved and that I couldn’t do that within the confines of a bigger company.
Mariam Naficy
Comparisons are really no good in sport, especially if it is a comparison between different eras and generations, for there are so many variables that come into play, starting from the quality of the opposition to playing conditions.
Sunil Gavaskar
If I was starting off now, I would probably have taken one or two different turnings along the way.
Len G. Murray
I’ve made three musical movies which is pretty good considering that not many are made but I was lucky in other ways. I came along when independent movies were starting to boom.
Christopher Walken
So dance music is now pop music. So now, as a dance producer, what do I have to do? So I’m starting to do alien music, because pop is not pop anymore; we need to go alien to be independent.
David Guetta
The whole world is starting to realize that it was the most unwise thing for our society to have ignored women power, to run the society with male priorities.
Yoko Ono
My process is really quite organic, and starting a painting is one of the best parts for me. I always start in quite a loose and free way. I often put down one ground colour to begin with and then play off that.
Cecily Brown
It’s no coincidence that the cities with the highest rates of violence also have the highest rates of unemployment. There are not many opportunities. We have to address that, starting from the government down and the grassroots up.
Teyonah Parris
What I liked was to set the tone – set the pace for the team. I know when we’re starting the game, I can get on and steal a base, then a guy bring me in. Then we’re in the lead and in a good position to win. That was the most exciting thing – to help the team.
Mickey Rivers
Starting a business and building a product are not for

Starting a business and building a product are not for the faint of heart. You have to learn to not let little disappointments get you down and to stay focused on the big picture.
Gillian Tans
Sometimes writing has to be forced. In starting out, the shape and timbre and texture of what is to come is an uncertain chimera shimmering from behind a veil. You must not wait, loiter, dilly-dally. You must force your way painfully through.
Cynthia Ozick
I don’t know if I’m more confident than ever before, because I definitely had confidence when I was starting out. Maybe I have less confidence now that I did then.
Leonardo DiCaprio
There’s going to be a million people that tell you ‘No’ when you’re starting out to do something. But, all you need is that one person to tell you ‘Yes,’ who’s going to believe in you. But first, you need to believe in yourself.
Ayesha Curry
I have no problem with starting from scratch.
Leif Garrett
When you’re starting out, say yes to everything you can.
Alex Weisman
The case is I talk for a living, so I should be able to say anything I want to say regardless of how you feel. What we’re starting to deal with now is your opinion matters, but to be quite honest, your opinion means nothing.
Patrice O’Neal
Your art kind of changes as you get older, by nature of the fact that you’re hopefully gaining wisdom and you’re starting to watch things with a better overview.
Sheryl Crow
Sure, I have advice for people starting to write. Don’t. I don’t need the competition.
Robert B. Parker
I’m starting to wonder if pop culture is in its dying days, because everyone is able to customize their own lives with the images they want to see and the words they want to read and the music they listen to. You don’t have the broader trends like you used to.
Douglas Coupland
I think we’re a deeper team, a better team, we still have work to do… nothing is guaranteed, but hopefully we got the mentality to play on the road, and we’re starting to get our home thing back in order now-if we can do that we’ll be just fine.
Karl Malone
When you are a starting Real Madrid player, you have to think big. Think of the Ballon d’Or, FIFA’s World XI.
Casemiro
The first reason for starting to do the symphony concerts was to play this new piece of mine.
Gerry Mulligan
Sometimes when you’re starting out with acting, you have to take what you can get to get experience and meet people.
Emily Kinney
I was starting to feel really suffocated, using the sequencer.
Tom Jenkinson
Starting out, I bet I didn’t get a lot of parts because of my strange voice. I’m not consciously thinking, ‘Hey, sound like a squeaky dog toy mixed with a bagful of rusty nails.’ It’s just what my voice has done.
Charlie Day
When I was growing up in the 1960s, there was starting to be more books geared towards young adults.
Alison Bechdel
I just wear jeans, big motorcycle boots and T-shirts that are way too big for me. I like anything that has lived a little bit, that has traces of life on it. Knitwear that’s a tiny bit too long because you’ve pulled it with your hands, or jeans that are starting to get holes.
Clemence Poesy
The power of the computer is starting to spread.
Bill Budge
When I was 8 or 9, I started using bulletin board systems, which was the precursor to the Internet, where you’d dial into… a shared system and shared computers. I’ve had an email address since the late ’80s, when I was 8 or 9 years old, and then I got on the Internet in ’93 when it was first starting out.
Aaron Patzer
When you’re starting up a show, you don’t really know what direction it’s going to go.
Rachel Dratch
I mean, what Fiat had it was not very big, it was something like forty or fifty million dollars, but it’s enough to get revolving credit, to get starting away again, the buying of new machinery.
Gianni Agnelli
In the countryside, litter doesn’t have a friend. It doesn’t have anybody who’s saying, ‘Wait a minute, this is really starting to get out of control.’
Bill Bryson
For the past few years, I’ve been more selective than I have any right to be, but I think that’s finally starting to work in my favor. I think I get way too much credit for making what people consider to be smart choices, but it’s only because I made a decision to stop worrying about making money.
Lizzy Caplan
The golden age was when people were starting to understand what hip-hop was and how to use it. I was lucky to come up then. Everybody wanted to be original and have substance; it was somewhat conscious… There was an integrity that people respected.
Rakim
You don’t have to fight for your life anymore. You’re starting a new one.
Eric Brown
Debate is healthy and no one in this chamber – starting with me – has a monopoly on being right.
Ted Kulongoski
It doesn’t really seem any different anywhere. I’d say it seems like we’re biggest in Australia. It’s just that we’ve always been this underground band and for some reason in the last month has been starting to go overground.
Jon Crosby
When I was first starting to write plays, I quite literally had never heard of the idea of studying playwriting. I wouldn’t have studied it even if I had heard of it.
Wallace Shawn
Every luxury must be paid for, and everything is a luxury, starting with being in this world.
Cesare Pavese
I cannot illustrate huge differences between male and female spiritualities except in their starting points, style and fascinations along the way. This is significant, however, and has huge pastoral implications: men must be challenged in the world of doing; women must be challenged in the world of relating.
Richard Rohr
I think the thing we see is that as people are using vi

I think the thing we see is that as people are using video games more, they tend to watch passive TV a bit less. And so using the PC for the Internet, playing video games, is starting to cut into the rather unbelievable amount of time people spend watching TV.
Bill Gates
Dad often told me, ‘My job is to help my boss do his job and make him look good.’ That was my dad’s objective. Everything about the way he conducted himself was to communicate support for his superiors and respect for his coworkers. The way he dressed was his starting point in that communication.
Lyle Lovett
Starting out in a beginner class and really understanding the fundamentals of yoga is really important.
Mariel Hemingway
For me, life is starting every day, every year. There’s a lot to be done!
Manoj Bajpayee
Hope is not a resting place but a starting point – a cactus, not a cushion.
H. Jackson Brown, Jr.
I’m passionate and I travel the world not just as a tourist but to understand cultures… I’ve lived with Masai tribe… I travel the world and bring it back in the form of a research book that would become the starting point for the collection.
John Galliano
If you’re just starting out in the workforce, the very best thing you can do for yourself is to get started in your workplace retirement plan. Contribute enough to grab any matching dollars your employer is offering (a.k.a. the last free money on earth).
Jean Chatzky
I always wanted to work on films, and when I was starting in television in this country, in Great Britain, there really wasn’t any film to be made.
Mike Newell
I started, obviously, doing theater, and I always thought that I would; in a way, I always thought that I’d be a theater actor. When I was starting out, I didn’t really plan on making films, actually.
Chiwetel Ejiofor
I’m delighted to carry on in the tradition of the great reporters like Edward R. Murrow, Ernie Pyle, and Geraldo Rivera to probe vitally important issues of the day, starting with whether I’m Hispanic or Latino.
Al Madrigal
I think when you saw this year’s playoffs, Miami and Detroit have a pretty fierce rivalry now. Also, the Suns and San Antonio look like they’re starting to develop something there. I look forward to seeing those rivalries continue and develop.
John Starks
I encourage women who are starting families to think about the five-year horizon. The first few years of parenthood are really hard, but if you stick it out, it gets easier.
Julia Hartz
Starting at about, I guess, forever, I’ve always looked forward to getting older. When I was 14, I couldn’t wait to be 16 and get a driver’s license.
Matthew McConaughey
The White House used to belong to the American people. At least that’s what I learned from history books and from covering every president starting with John F. Kennedy.
Helen Thomas
I can’t go into a bar anywhere without someone starting to play ‘the Entertainer’.
Robert Redford
Young people who are just starting out somehow need to let you know they know how to sing.
Barbara Cook
You can’t change the world alone – you will need some help – and to truly get from your starting point to your destination takes friends, colleagues, the good will of strangers and a strong coxswain to guide them.
William H. McRaven
And I tell ya, when I sit in that sound booth and started reading the script and starting to get into the character, man, it’s an easy jump for me, because I understand what it’s all about.
Lawrence Taylor
I met with Hitchcock when I was a very, very young actress just starting out and he was making ‘Frenzy’ in London and I was sent along to meet with him. He was very, very unimpressed with me and I have to say, I was rather unimpressed with him – but only because I was an arrogant, ignorant young actress.
Helen Mirren
I am starting to look like and perform like the Lou that I used to be.
Lou Gramm
Girls’ inner critics are starting to reveal themselves at a younger and younger age. And body image issues are an aspect of their lives which is causing them low self esteem and day-to-day suffering.
Elizabeth Berkley
STAR is a very revolutionary group. We believe in picking up the gun, starting a revolution if necessary. Our main goal is to see gay people liberated and free and have equal rights that other people have in America.
Marsha P. Johnson
I would like to see this group in this Congress be starting the process to get ourselves on long term fiscal strong footing.
Ben Quayle
As soon as I starting making YouTube videos, I received so much positive feedback from the online community and a demand for more content. As time went on, my filming schedule became more consistent, and it made sense to hire some help and upgrade my equipment.
Rosanna Pansino
I feel like once my career is all done and dusted, and I’ve done everything I could have possibly done, then that’s my glory. Then I can live, and have a normal life, and go have kids. I love wrestling, but when that day comes, I’m going back home and I’m starting a family.
Rhea Ripley
I’m starting a virtual school for the world, teaching things the way I wanted to be taught.
Sal Khan
It’s really fun at night, because I can see the baby kicking. I can feel the knee or the foot. The baby is starting to get heavy, and it’s a really incredible feeling. I’m so grateful I get to experience this.
Emily Procter
I feel like comedy had a boys’-club label when we were starting.
Abbi Jacobson
People put so much effort into starting a relationship and so little effort into ending one.
Marina Abramovic
Folks who are getting their strokes in the South are not as unhappy with Howard Dean. You don’t see anybody starting any movement to get him out of office.
Gwen Ifill
I could always throw stuff, starting with tantrums.
Breaux Greer
I'm going to stop putting things off, starting tomorrow

I’m going to stop putting things off, starting tomorrow!
Sam Levenson
I like to open for a band as it brings on sort of a challenge and it makes things more interesting. It reminds me of when we were just starting out because we would open for other bands in the beginning.
Kelly Jones
I can’t say that I’ve fully achieved my dream yet. I’m just starting to evolve.
Sean Combs
When the modern movement began, starting perhaps with the paintings of Manet and the poetry of Baudelaire and Rimbaud, what distinguished the modern movement was the enormous honesty that writers, painters and playwrights displayed about themselves. The bourgeois novel flinches from such notions.
J. G. Ballard
What might be good for ratings can be bad for the country. The hard-core partisans are self-segregating themselves into separate political realities. But the majority of Americans are starting to wake up to the game.
John Avlon
People are worried about the degree to which corporate interest is starting to threaten human interest.
Edward Norton
Well, for Blow I had to age from 20 to 60, starting out in shape and then later putting on fat pads.
Ray Liotta
It’s important to be dedicated and enthusiastic when you’re starting a career. It might take a long time to get established and the money won’t flow in straight away.
Ainsley Harriott
‘Falling Skies’ is not just about aliens attacking. It’s also about humanity, survival, hope and the determination to rebuild our world, starting from pretty much nothing.
Maxim Knight
I was starting to buy into my own sort of stereotype in a way.
Jennifer Aniston
Each time I’m starting to work on a film, even if I love to settle the plot in the real world, I start to think about the plot as a fairy tale, or a dream, or a nightmare… As if it was the best way to tell the truth about characters or narration, instead of realism.
Arnaud Desplechin
It’s just this little comedy about this group of guys, and their local hangout is a pool hall, and it’s starting to get taken over by this big corporate, evil kind of guy. And it’s just about them trying to save the day and their little pool hall in the process of it all. It’s called ‘Think Tank.’
Aaron Ruell
I believe that starting any business should be as easy as a 10-year-old starting a lemonade stand.
Mark Cuban
To prepare adequately for the challenge of global warming, we must acknowledge both the good and the bad that it will bring. If our starting point is to prove that Armageddon is on its way, we will not consider all of the evidence, and will not identify the smartest policy choices.
Bjorn Lomborg
They told me that they are starting a classic label, and wanted me to be the first artist. So I signed, and am producing myself, and writing my own music, but I’m their first artist on their classic label. And I have creative control.
Teena Marie
I’ve been making music for a long time, since I was very young, but at the same time, I’m still exploring what works for me. I feel like I’m just starting out.
Zedd
I’m starting to judge success by the time I have for myself, the time I spend with family and friends. My priorities aren’t amending; they’re shifting.
Brendan Fraser
I’m responsible for starting a whole new school of pretension.
David Bowie
I did I Love My Wife on Broadway in 1978, and then went into television land. Now things are starting to come together in the way I thought they might when I was a kid.
Tom Wopat
Like anyone who goes to college, you’re leaving a familiar surrounding and a comfortable environment and your friends and everything, and you’re starting fresh. It can be pretty daunting.
Jason Biggs
I ask every Communist individually to set an example, by deeds and without pretense, a real example worthy of a man and a Communist, in restoring order, starting normal life, in resuming work and production, and in laying the foundations of an ordered life.
Janos Kadar
I’m starting to see players copy what I do. I’m flattered.
Dennis Rodman
I’d never been a teacher before, and here I was starting my first day with these eager students. There was a shortage of teachers, and they had been without a math teacher for six months. They were so excited to learn math.
Andrew Shue
I couldn’t breathe. I – I went into – literally, my kidneys stopped functioning. They stopped, you know, processing the fluid that was starting to build up in my body.
Natalie Cole
I’m actually Cuban-born, born in 1956, the year Fidel Castro came into power, and my father moved my family to Miami a few years later when things were starting to look bad.
Steven Bauer
Medicine will be personalized and preventive: Your genome might predict that you have an 80 percent chance of breast cancer by the time you are 50, but if you take a preventive drug starting when you are 40, the chance will drop to 2 percent.
Leroy Hood
I used to write in bed, starting when I woke up. I believe that creative work comes from our subconscious mind, so I try to keep the gap between sleep and writing as minimal as possible.
Marian Keyes
I’m starting to think about my life, thinking about where I’m going to be in three years time: who I’m going to be with, where I’m going to be situated myself.
Tinie Tempah
We see leaders in social media starting fights. I’m on the other team who likes to inspire, to leave a positive message.
Karol G
My motivation for starting Fisker was simple: I thought there must be a market for beautiful, exciting, fast, environmentally friendly cars. The car is probably the only product you can still fall in love with and have a relationship with.
Henrik Fisker
Keep in my mind my dad didn’t become a huge, huge mega actor until I was halfway through high school – so right around the time he’s going through his big renaissance is right when I’m starting to do my high school revolting.
Colin Hanks
I have a different starting premise from those 100 acad

I have a different starting premise from those 100 academics who are so heavily invested in the regime of low expectations and narrow horizons which they have created.
Michael Gove
I’m starting to get old. I want to eat some hamburgers and just relax.
Charlie Hunnam
When I told my parents that I was starting my transition, my Dad said, ‘Well that makes so much more sense ’cause I never saw you any other way and now it totally works.’
Candis Cayne
I came to 20th Century Fox to do movies, and then they started a network, and they asked me to do a show as part of their starting what became the Fox network.
James L. Brooks
The whole world is global. With the Internet, it’s like we’re all living in a small village. We’re starting more and more to realize there is no difference, we can work together, we can put aside our differences and work on our similarities and be successful in that way.
Shohreh Aghdashloo
All motion is cyclic. It circulates to the limits of its possibilities and then returns to its starting point.
Robert Collier
I’m thinking about starting a solo project. But it will feature Tyler on all the songs. We’ll call it something like ‘Two Music Boys.’
Josh Dun
I have this feeling that the world is not in balance. And people are afraid, but we’re also starting to be really brave.
Aurora
When I was starting out I was way too scared to ask real directors how to do it or ask for advice, I’m really kind of New Zealand like that.
Niki Caro
I just got to a point where I was lying to myself constantly, so I had to face up to that. It was a lot of… I don’t want to use the words ‘self sacrifice,’ but that’s what it felt like. It was giving up who I thought I was and starting over from scratch and realizing the man that I am was good enough.
Ivan Moody
As my children leave the protected parameters of the bay called childhood and enter the wavier seas of adolescence, I’m starting to get seasick.
Kristin Armstrong
I think it’s probably the Dutch who are to blame for starting the whole ‘art business’, because before they came along, art was attached to relatively stable structures, and it was everybody’s. It was like going to the movies.
Antony Gormley
I ended up starting guitar because I didn’t want to just be the lead singer.
Lzzy Hale
I just travel all the time. And I was just looking at the schedules now and starting the first week of October I will be every weekend with somebody at tournaments through Christmas. So it gets very difficult to just go away and not do that.
Ivan Lendl
I really did sneak into Broadway shows, starting when I was 12.
David Copperfield
I’ve produced a couple of films and really enjoyed starting it from the very beginning and seeing it all the way through to the end; that was very gratifying.
Jeff Bridges
I’m just starting to scratch the surface of what really makes me happy and it’s taken me a while to admit that acting like a little child and being a jerk and a punk is fun.
Leonardo DiCaprio
Writing a song is like playing a series of downs in football: Lots of rules, timing is crucial, lots of boundaries, lots of protective gear, lots of stopping and starting.
Christine Lavin
Jazz is not the format where I want to stay, but it really is a starting point for me.
Justin Guarini
I used to hang out in my dad’s workshop on weekends. Later, when I was starting out as an actor, I became a roofer and a framer to make money. But what I really enjoyed was the finished work. I like the longevity.
Mark Harmon
The formation of glass from the melting is like starting a clock. It resets the time for us to determine billions of years later.
Robert Duncan
I started reading and talking and interviewing nutritionists and a thread was starting to form for me which is – a protein digests in a different rate of speed than a carbohydrate.
Suzanne Somers
Because of both hipster culture and Facebook culture, the human race is starting to resemble a school of hairy piranhas.
Chael Sonnen
It’s funny, ’cause it seems like just yesterday that I was the youngest player just starting out. But now there are young players all over the league, and they’ll ask me questions about playing overseas or finding an agent.
Sue Wicks
When I was first starting out in the music industry, I was always coupled in the same sentence with Jessica Simpson, Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera – and I was probably the worst of them. I think a lot of people back then thought, ‘Mandy Moore… she’ll probably go back to where she came from in a year.’
Mandy Moore
Voice actors I used to know who were starting out in comedy were guys who did a lot of voices. They were usually comedy actors who developed their comedy by doing tons of impressions and voices that were usually very funny. And I never did any of that, so that’s, I guess, why I don’t consider myself a voice actor.
H. Jon Benjamin
I sort of always like to write starting with when I learned how.
Daniel Pinkwater
Starting at age four, my mom decided that she was not going to have an idle child in the house. So I started taking dance lessons on Tuesdays and Thursdays, and then I was in acting classes on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, and I was also modeling on Saturdays. And that was my childhood.
Chandra Wilson
Every time you go in, it’s like starting over. You don’t know how you did the other records. You’re learning all over. It’s some weird musician amnesia, or maybe the road wipes it out.
Beck
I’ve lived on my own since 17, and when I found I wasn’t working all the time, I ended up starting a small theatre company called Red One Theatre.
Joe Dinicol
As soon, however, as capitalist competition has definitively established the equal rate of profit, that rate becomes the starting point for the calculations of the capitalists in the investment of capital in newly-created branches of production.
Rudolf Hilferding
Ours is a divine journey; therefore, this journey has n

Ours is a divine journey; therefore, this journey has neither a beginning nor an end… This journey has a goal, but it does not stop at any goal, for it has come to realise that today’s goal is only the starting point of tomorrow’s journey.
Sri Chinmoy
So far things are going my way. I am known in the hospice as The Man Who Wouldn’t Die. I don’t know if this is true or not, but I think some people, not many, are starting to wonder why I’m still around.
Art Buchwald
Starting a band is the easy part. Once you’ve formed the band, you have to tell a story, and that story requires songs. And not just good songs, but great songs. After a while, great songs won’t do – they have to be the best. Success doesn’t make it any easier. Each time I start a new record, it’s a brand-new search.
The Edge
While writing, I’m always so happy in the middle of a book or finishing a book and really hate starting them, so I often think, ‘I wish I had a really big book to write to which I could devote seven years of my life.’
Geoff Dyer
I think when you’re starting up a situation, it’s really fun texting or BBMing or whatever.
Carly Pope
I’m just starting to realize the type of work that I want to do. Not everyone can fit into the sitcom world because it’s so fast-paced, but it feels comfortable to me.
Brooke Shields
Before starting my YouTube career, I used to play music at a restaurant. YouTube was never a part of my plan.
Bhuvan Bam
Deeper investment in green energy technology will create millions of high-paying American jobs that cannot be outsourced, rebuilding our nation’s manufacturing economy, starting with wind turbines and solar panels stamped ‘Made in America.’
Ted Lieu
The starting line of the New York Marathon is kind of like a giant time bomb behind you about to go off. It is the most spectacular start in sport.
Bill Rodgers
My mom, she’s a breast cancer survivor and because of that I had started getting mammograms once a year, starting at age 30.
Kate Walsh
I try not to dwell on big mistakes but to move on when I make a mistake. I make mistakes most of the times and that’s part of the risk profile being an entrepreneur. I guess one big mistake I did was not to start my own company earlier. I spent nine years working for others before starting Kazaa in 2000.
Niklas Zennstrom
Show’s going well. New season starting, we’re on the road.
Carson Kressley
I am starting to explore directing, maybe in the future in the world of ‘White Collar.’
Willie Garson
Since first starting my career, I’ve grown accustomed to working with actors older than me. I’m always the youngest.
Gaspard Ulliel
I have never started a novel – I mean except the first, when I was starting a novel just to start a novel – I’ve never written one without rereading Victory. It opens up the possibilities of a novel. It makes it seem worth doing.
Joan Didion
The Marcos era was the golden time for the Philippines. We had the lowest crime rate in the world in Manila and real development then. At last, people are starting to understand this.
Imelda Marcos
When I first starting making money, when I first made my first six-digits, I was – my big thing was I went to put super unleaded in my truck for the first time.
Matthew McConaughey
Know what you want to achieve prior to starting to negotiate. It’s the golden rule but the one most people fail to heed. Without a plan, you allow the opposing party to define your goals instead of the other way around.
Ivanka Trump
What we have, however, is an issue that has tremendous impact here at home, and we believe that Americans are starting to feel vulnerable, not just from what is going on around the world but right here in the United States.
Ted Stevens
When I was starting to get noticed as an actor in the 1970s for something other than the third cowboy on the right who ended up dying in every movie or episode, Burt Reynolds was the biggest star in the world.
Bruce Dern
What’s so fascinating and frustrating and great about life is that you’re constantly starting over, all the time, and I love that.
Billy Crystal
I never use nature as a starting point. I never abstract from nature; I never consciously think of nature when I paint.
Adolph Gottlieb
I meet a lot of people who are awkward around me now. I was always embarrassed about that; the more attention I got, the less I wanted it and the more it would manifest in a physical way and I would be hunched over about it. I’m just starting to realise now that it’s not my problem, it’s somebody else’s problem.
Ben Howard
Finally, people are starting to recognize freedom and peace do have a cause, they do have a price.
Mark Foley
At one point when I was very young, when I was first starting out, I thought, ‘Well, one day I’ll be able to put all the music away and become a real comedian.’ But then I realized there are amazing musical comedians out there, that musical comedy is probably something I’ll always want to pursue.
Bo Burnham
It’s been amazing, the number of commercials that I’ve done, starting back in 1968. It must be 8,000.
Casey Kasem
I’m not the type of person to eat big hunks of meat. I think people are starting to realize that great things come in small batches.
April Bloomfield
When you are portraying somebody that has a very specific emotional weight, you feel like you’re really starting to abandon your own body and go to someplace else.
Javier Bardem
I don’t feel secure at all. I don’t know what actor would feel they’ve made it. I feel like I’m just starting.
Corey Stoll
I started at GM knowing very little about that particular business. Not being an expert means you have to learn everything, starting from the basics.
Edward Whitacre, Jr.
I’ve always liked and appreciated storytellers like Garry Shandling and Bill Cosby – more long-form comedy. So starting in San Francisco, watching all these great comics – Patton Oswalt, Dave Chappelle – you get to see them a bunch, and you go, ‘Wow, this is where I need to be.’
Al Madrigal
So the thing I realized rather gradually - I must say s

So the thing I realized rather gradually – I must say starting about 20 years ago now that we know about computers and things – there’s a possibility of a more general basis for rules to describe nature.
Stephen Wolfram
Draymond Green is one of the best in the league at grabbing a defensive rebound and starting the break.
C. J. McCollum
Carefully calculate the potential size of your market to make sure you can grow. Before starting Mint, I knew that there were about 20 million people who had purchased ‘Quicken’ or ‘Microsoft Money’ over the years, and 80 million people using online banking in the U.S. alone.
Aaron Patzer
I think, thinking back earlier in my career, if I would have been told that I would be starting an All-Star Game at age 34, I’d be pretty happy about that.
Buster Posey
For those working menial jobs or putting in 100-hour weeks for corporations, the lure of starting your own business can seem like a great way to get more flexibility, upside, and ownership.
Kathryn Minshew
Once you start a business, you have to grow it and grow with it – starting a business is not just for Christmas.
Natalie Massenet
Whether you’re playing sports, starting a business or anything else in life, you need to identify your talents. Your responsibility is to find what you do better than anyone else. Once you identify what that is, you need to put yourself in the best position to succeed.
B. J. Armstrong
Each project, I suffer like I’m starting over again in life. There’s a lot of healthy insecurity that fuels this stuff.
Frank Gehry
There’s an idea that London is a planet on its own: that it’s starting to diverge from the rest of the solar system. We need to combat that.
Boris Johnson
Ever since I began to compose, I have remained true to my starting principle: not to write a page because no matter what public, or what pretty girl wanted it to be thus or thus; but to write solely as I myself thought best, and as it gave me pleasure.
Felix Mendelssohn
Readers have told me that their children have learned to read after years of struggle after starting to read Garfield’s comic strip and many people who have moved to the United States have said that they, too, learned English by reading Garfield.
Jim Davis
August used to be a sad month for me. As the days went on, the thought of school starting weighed heavily upon my young frame. That, coupled with the oppressive heat and humidity of my native Washington, D.C., only seemed to heighten the misery.
Henry Rollins
Doctrinal rightness and rightness of ecclesiastical position are important, but only as a starting point to go on into a living relationship – and not as ends in themselves.
Francis Schaeffer
Ireland is a series of stories that have been told to us, starting with the Irish Celtic national revival. I never believed in ‘Old Ireland.’ It has been made all of kitsch by the diaspora, looking back and deciding what Ireland is. Yes, it is green. Yes, it is friendly. I can’t think of anything else for definite.
Anne Enright
Another term for preventive war is aggressive war – starting wars because someday somebody might do something to us. That is not part of the American tradition.
Ron Paul
Borne out of this, starting around the 17th Century was the Baroque era. It is my view that it is one of the architectural peak periods in western civilisation.
Harry Seidler
No one lives long enough to learn everything they need to learn starting from scratch. To be successful, we absolutely, positively have to find people who have already paid the price to learn the things that we need to learn to achieve our goals.
Brian Tracy
English is my second language, but in Hong Kong, they don’t know that I’m from China. They think I’m from Hollywood because all the films they see are from here. China and Hong Kong are very different places, but they’re starting to merge. Still the culture is very different.
Bai Ling
I think starting in anime, like I did, gave me a good idea of how to approach games that come from Japan. Japanese developers can be very different from companies here in the western market.
Laura Bailey
A lot of people in television who’ve had successful shows claim the ‘Roseanne’ show as their starting place, and I’m really proud of that.
Roseanne Barr
I noticed recently, in the last few shows I did, that I’m starting to get people – not a large group, but quite a few people – who come to see me because they love Curb Your Enthusiasm.
Wanda Sykes
Starting a company, your success is going to be very dependent on how you adapt. You’re going to make decisions, you’re going to make bets; most of them are going to turn out to be wrong.
Jeremy Stoppelman
Governor Romney has said nothing about preschool. I think that giving the poorest kids in America wonderful preschool, and three years of it, starting when they are two-and-a-half, is absolutely crucial.
Jonathan Kozol
I think the show has sort of given me a name in this business and allowed a lot of people the opportunity to see what I can do, and it’s just sort of like a sweet starting point.
Shiri Appleby
Facebook is by far the largest of these social networking sites, and starting with its ill-fated Beacon service, privacy concerns have more than once been raised about how the ubiquitous social networking site handles its user data.
Michael Bennet
People shouldn’t be forced to chose between paying for rent or paying for medication. They deserve a government ready to take on Big Pharma by implementing health coverage, starting by extending pharmacare coverage to every Canadian.
Jagmeet Singh
Starting early and getting girls on computers, tinkering and playing with technology, games and new tools, is extremely important for bridging the gender divide that exists now in computer science and in technology.
Beth Simone Noveck
I feel like in a way I’m starting over, with everything.
Shania Twain
If there’s one thing government needs desperately, it’s the ability to quickly try something, pivot when necessary, and build complex systems by starting with simple systems that work and evolving from there, not the other way around.
Jennifer Pahlka
The starting point of all achievement is desire.
Napoleon Hill
I’m starting to realise that there are certain themes that I return to, those being that there is no such thing as normal, and people finding their voice and living authentically. And also that you can be influenced and helped through an extended family.
Toni Collette

I started playing guitar when I was in my late teens, and within two years I was starting to play shows.
Buzz Osborne
I’ve been singing since I was 12. And I think that all the information is finally starting to chill out. And I don’t have to be fancy. I can just kind of do things and simplify things and try to be the best singer I can be.
Justin Vernon
I feel that David took a risk with me. I have a sense that by starting off in the theatre and going off to do films you are seen to sell out in some way. I don’t hold truck with that, but you can’t stop people from feeling it.
Julia Ormond
You’re gonna laugh when I tell you this, man, but I’m starting to enjoy Eminem.
Alan Vega
Starting reforms in the Soviet Union was only possible from above, only from above. Any attempt to go from below was suppressed, suppressed in a most resolute way.
Mikhail Gorbachev
If you get rich in the name of the poor, fine and dandy. The problem is when you earn it. If you earn the money in the private sector by starting a business and hiring a lot of people, that’s when you become the enemy.
Rush Limbaugh
Even though we have laws against it and HR departments to handle it, a woman – especially if she is young and just starting out – can never be sure that reporting harassment won’t hurt her career.
Gretchen Carlson
For me at 16 and 17 years old, I wasn’t even playing for the academy teams. I hardly played in the starting XI for the Under 19s.
Bernardo Silva
There have been so many majors that got away, starting at Riviera in ’95, taking a three-shot lead into the final round of the PGA and not winning.
Ernie Els
Anyone who has ever looked into the glazed eyes of a soldier dying on the battlefield will think hard before starting a war.
Otto von Bismarck
I really think that being yourself, being original, being outside the box is starting to be appealing to people.
Miranda Lambert
That is what I’m going to remember when I retire, the rings I have. Not the fact I played 28 minutes or 33 or my name being called in the starting lineup.
Manu Ginobili
