‘They Don’t Care About Us’ by Michael Jackson – This song makes me want to dance, and I fell in love with it watching ‘This Is It’ with my kids.
I fell in love with Norman Mailer’s ‘Of a Fire on the Moon’, a description of the 1969 moon landing and the society that had produced NASA – and was inspired by him to begin a kind of anthropology of modern life.
I fell in love with commerce and the opportunities that come with compelling visual storytelling.
My dad grew up wrestling. He knew Ken Shamrock, and I didn’t know who he was at the time. So, he found out that Shamrock was in a gym in Reno, and he wanted me to go try a class with him. I tried it and fell in love the first day. Ken told me that I had potential in this sport, and he’s the reason I kept at it.
I knew guys way more talented than me who fell through the cracks.
I like historical fiction. I fell in love with New Orleans the first time I visited it. And I wanted to place a story in New Orleans.

My reading and drawing drew me away from the ordinary interests, and I lived a great deal in the world of imagination, feeding upon any book that fell into my hands. When I had got hold of a really thick book like Hugo’s ‘Les Miserables,’ I was happy and would go off into a corner to devour it.
I just fell into the job as a fashion editor at a teen magazine. I was there for two years, and I left there as a senior fashion editor at the age of 25.
There are parts of New Zealand that I absolutely fell in love with that I will miss going back to, but I kind of think that is the part that can continue and will continue on. I don’t imagine I’ll stop going back to New Zealand, because I feel part of the fabric there, really.
I said, ‘Wouldn’t it be great if Matt Damon’s character fell in love with a girl with a real butt?’ They were like, ‘Yeah sure, sure – here’s your personal trainer.’
As far as the Animals breaking up – it was my fault. I wanted out. We took it to the max, as far as we could take it. Our reunion tour in 1983 went pretty good until we left America. Then we pushed it too hard and it fell apart.
I left New York in 2009 when I fell in love with someone who had a farmhouse in New Hampshire… Portland, Maine, felt like the inevitable place for us.
Curiously, a principle affects your life whether you are aware of it or not. For instance, the principle of gravity was working long before the apple ever fell on Newton’s head. But once it did, and he understood it, then we as a society were free to harness this principle to create, among other things, airline flight.
I never had a real job either. I sort of fell out of school and ended up playing guitar.
I just kind of transitioned right out of the dance world into the music industry. I started writing and I just fell in love with the whole process.

I fell in love with the elegance and precision of genetic analysis and experimentation to answer profound biological questions.
After World War II, there were a lot of pension funds in Europe that were fully funded, but they were pressured to hold a lot of government debt. There was a lot of inflation, and the value of all those assets fell. Those pension funds couldn’t honor their promises to the people.

I absolutely fell in love with being on the water and the peace and freedom that you get being on the water in a single boat.
The first CD that I ever bought was ‘Britney Spears.’ It was at a 7-Eleven and I was like, ‘Can I get this?’ It was literally her EP and I picked it up and, of course, I fell in love with her. It was an early crush for me.
I started as a director and just fell upon acting.
When man fell from grace, he lost a kingdom, not a religion. He lost dominion over the earth; He did not lose Heaven. Therefore, mankind’s search is not for a religion or for Heaven but for his kingdom.
Long before I fell in love with writing, I fell in love with reading. Sometimes, honestly, I feel like I’m cheating on my first love when I settle into my office chair to start work on the latest manuscript.
The first time I fell in love, I was in my 20s, and I loved someone right till I was 31. And then I felt that emotion died within me. I wasn’t feeling alive at all.
Yes is what I like doing more than anything else. Somewhere along the way, as people came and went, it fell to me to kind of keep it going and oversee the spirit of the enterprise, as it were.
If a leaf fell from a tree, I’d stop juggling and play with the leaf. I went to my prop bag and got a little bandage and stuck the leaf back on the tree. People loved it.
I discovered Los Angeles in the late ’90s. The city was not at its best at the time, but I fell for it right away. There is something almost haunted about it, a vibrant mythology I find rather inspiring.
I was in art school since I was five years old. I’ve always been to art school. Everything that’s happened to me, nothing’s been planned. I’ve never had a business plan. I just kind of fell into it, and I liked it, and I took a chance. I took a lot of chances in my life.

Honestly, I don’t aspire to be a huge movie star. I really just fell in love with acting… Everything I do on-screen is very subtle.
If a portion of a redwood is rotting, the redwood will send roots into its own form and draw nutrients out of itself as it falls apart. If we had redwood-like biology, if we got a touch of gangrene in our arm, then we could just, you know, extract the nutrients and the moisture out of it until it fell off.
I’ve had the kind of complex life I write about. I was a single mother for 12 years. I’d been engaged. The wedding fell through. I then discovered I was pregnant and opted to have the child on my own. I was a professor. I was in my mid-30s. I could manage it financially.
I fell in love with filmmaking. I fell in love with criticism. I fell in love with theory, and it made me really dogmatic in my approach to choosing roles.
I fell in love with The Strokes when I was 20, and I’m 34 now and still listen to them religiously.

I was only 16 when I was selected for ‘Madrasapattinam.’ I celebrated my 17th birthday on the set of the film. That was the first time I had travelled to India, and it was a rollercoaster ride. I soon fell in love with the country.
I didn’t have a dad around to pick me up when I fell, throw the ball to me outside. I always wonder how it would be if I did have a dad there.
At some point, I fell in love. Shortly thereafter, I got my heart broken. Sniff, sniff. And I realized at a young age – no matter what any adult literary critic would have us believe about female strength and autonomy – there is no test to strength of character like love.
I fell in love with Virginia Woolf in college. I especially admire how well she writes about daily life, how she captures so much meaning and consequence in the smallest details of a day.
‘Roxbury Drive’ was the street I grew up on as a little kid, and it was the street that I first listened to records on, and where I actually really first fell in love with music.

My dad read ‘The Danish Girl’ and fell in love with it. He told me, ‘You need to do this film.’
I wanted to write about love at first sight because I fell in love at first sight.
I started as a musician. I play the saxophone, but from the age of 17, I realised that it’s very hard to make a living as a jazz musician in Australia. So I went for an audition and got an acting job and, fortunately, I completely fell in love with that.
A pig’s trotter is a fantastic thing. The first night of my honeymoon in Paris, my wife fell asleep in her steak tartare, so my trotter kept me company.

I used to hate L.A., but I met such a great group of people there that I fell in love with it.
