Cool
Going
You just remember back when you were watching as a kid and going, 'Man, Sting's so cool,' and now I'm wrestling the guy. It's breathtaking.
- A.J. Styles
Mom
Always
My mom says that when I was a little kid, I always used to say I wanted to be an actor, but I don't remember that.
- Aaron Douglas
Hands
Eventually
As a kid, I was always into art at the same time as computers, and eventually I realised I was making more interesting stuff with my keyboard than with my hands. I really enjoyed modifying computer games more than playing them, so that got me into programming.
- Aaron Koblin
Enjoy
Why
I'm fulfilling my dreams that I had as a kid every single day. That's why I'm trying to enjoy it so much.
- Aaron Rodgers
Never
Brag
I was never that kid who used to brag about anything.
- Aaron Taylor-Johnson
Mom
Some
That's the Indian in me - you must put spices on everything. As a kid, whenever we got sick, my mom would take milk and put turmeric in it. That was our medicine. That was the cure-all. Some people turn to Robitussin.
- Aasif Mandvi
Florida
I Write
When I got to Florida, I was a British kid, but I was also an Indian kid: a brown kid with an English accent. Talk about being an outsider. And that's become the theme of a lot of the stuff I write about.
- Aasif Mandvi
Broken
Always
I was always in hospital as a kid: I had a tumour on my knee, lots of broken bones. I loved climbing trees.

Lot
Cinemas

If I can help a kid feel more comfortable in their skin because they're struggling with maybe the things I struggled with in high school, that's great.

- Ace Frehley
Woods
Go
As a kid, I was just led out in the morning to go spend my day with my friends and just run in the woods. And I'd only come home to eat or when I was thirsty.
- Adam Beach
Florida
Feels
When you have kids, you instantly feel that you do not want to do them wrong. Those dads that go off to Florida and start a new life, I couldn't imagine that: seeing my kid once every Christmas, every three years. If I'm gone for six days it feels like too much.
- Adam Carolla
How
Almost
It's funny when you're a kid how you can acclimate to almost anything.
- Adam Carolla
Smashed
Figured
Even as a kid, I was a businessman. I figured out that if you plucked all the berries off my neighbor's tree and smashed them up, they made a Nickelodeon Gak-type consistency. I sold them to all the neighborhood kids and made stacks of quarters. Of course, the berries were poisonous, and I got in all types of trouble.
- Adam DeVine
Always
Dad
I always wanted to be a stand-up comedian, even as a kid. Me and my dad would watch 'Evening at the Improv' on A&E.
- Adam DeVine
Got
Uninterested
I was kind of the black sheep with the Disney kids. I was uninterested in making friends with most of them. I didn't really fall into 'the Disney mold.' I was more or less the kid hanging out with the crew members and got along with them far better.
- Adam Lamberg
Line
Soothing
Children crave routine and find listening to the same stories over and over again soothing. If you've grown weary of the holiday books you've read your kid 7,883 times, try adding 'dude' to the end of every line of dialogue.
- Adam Mansbach
Part
Frustrated
We had a kid. The kid was awesome. She didn't fall asleep easily. We complained about it. We got frustrated. But we didn't look for an out. We just accepted that this was part of parenting.
- Adam Mansbach
Own
Least
To be a white kid into hip-hop meant you'd sought it out and you practiced the art. Which meant dedication and diligence, as well as removing yourself at least occasionally from your own comfort zone and circumstances, and from people who looked like you.
- Adam Mansbach
Private
Moved
Obama is the new kid with the weird name who people just sense is a little classier than his surroundings. He moved from a private school where he was class president and is now at the giant public high school with the metal detectors and the smoking lounge.
- Adam McKay
Father
Thought
Growing up as a kid my father was British and a soccer player. His idol was a guy that passed the ball a lot, Stanley Matthews. Our family thought if you could be unselfish your teammates would always like you.
- Adam Oates
One Day
About
I don't think about that. I wasn't a kid growing up saying one day I'll get an Oscar and make a speech. That wasn't on my mind. So what I do is the best work I can do.
- Adam Sandler
Reading
Read
I read to my kid, but I can't stand reading.
- Adam Sandler
Mind
Oscar
I wasn't a kid growing up thinking, 'One day I'll get an Oscar and make a speech.' That wasn't on my mind.
- Adam Sandler
Wife
Stories
I'm not great at bedtime stories. Bedtime stories are supposed to put the kid to sleep. My kid gets riled up and then my wife has to come in and go, 'All right! Get out of the room.'
- Adam Sandler
I Think
About
I think I initially started inventing characters in my songs because I didn't want to write directly about myself. Also, as a kid, I loved all the character names in Beatles songs, like Eleanor Rigby and Lovely Rita and Mean Mr. Mustard and Maxwell and Rocky Raccoon.
- Adam Schlesinger
Chubby
I was a chubby kid.
- Adam Scott
Best
Shower
Dr. Bronner's is the best. My mom had Dr. Bronner's around since I was a little kid, and I've used it in the shower as soap ever since.
- Adam Scott
Part
Knew
When I got the part, I tried to remember Batman as I knew him when I was a kid - with emotional recall.
- Adam West
Mischievous
Had
I was a wild, mischievous kid, and I had tremendous imagination. Any experience I had, I'd try to reenact it.
- Adrien Brody
Projects
Wealthy
If you decide you want to change your life around, it doesn't matter where you came from, what you did, if you were incarcerated or you are from the projects, if you are an uppity kid who came from a really wealthy family - and all of them do drugs and are into that life - it doesn't matter; come as you are, and God does his work.
- Adrienne Bailon
Young
Everybody
I myself started out quite young; when you're working, professionally, even if you are in your teens, you just want to be treated the same as everybody else. You just want people to see you as an actor and not as a kid.
- Aidan Gillen
Summer
Feel
I did theater summer camps when I was a kid, and I enjoyed them, but they never felt quite right. But then there would always be a tiny improv workshop towards the end of camp, and I would always feel like I liked it so much better.
- Aidy Bryant
Fault
Patient
As a kid, I often figured it was good to be patient to a fault.
- Aimee Bender
Cool
Show
My parents were vegetarians. I'd show up at school, this giant black kid, with none of the cool clothes and a tofu sandwich and celery sticks.
- Aisha Tyler
Feet
Almost
And I was the only black kid in my school for almost all of my childhood, until I was a teenager. So imagine, if you will, being 6 feet tall by third grade, so essentially being a living maypole.
- Aisha Tyler
Always
Theatrical
I was always a theatrical kid.
- Aisha Tyler
Childhood
Portion
Not only was I the only black kid and the only poor kid, but my parents were transcendental meditation devotees, and I live in an ashram for a good portion of my childhood.
- Aisha Tyler
Thought
Black
I hated, when I was a kid, being told that 'Black people don't do that.' And the white kids at school didn't accept me because I was black, and the black kids in my neighborhood didn't accept me because they thought I thought I was white.
- Aisha Tyler
Church
TV
We were poor. My mother got our clothes out of the free box at the church, you know? So much of when you're a kid is about relating about what you watch on TV. And who's got these cooler shoes, and 'Let's trade lunches.' And I was just like, 'I don't have a television. I have a rock and a piece of tofu.'
- Aisha Tyler
Pants
Movie
When I was a kid, I used to sneak down the stairs when my folks were listening to 'The Witch's Tale' and 'Inner Sanctum' on the radio. I went to see 'Frankenstein' in the movie theater and got the pants scared off of me.
- Al Feldstein
Career
Prepare
I felt like the luckiest kid in the world. And I was. I was growing up middle-class in a time when growing up middle-class in America meant there would be jobs for my parents, good schools for me to prepare myself for a career, and, if I worked hard and played by the rules, a chance for me to do anything I wanted.
- Al Franken
Feet
Great Time
I slept fourteen feet from a polka tavern as a kid growing up. I heard polkas all night long, people singing and drinking beers and having a great time. I know more polkas than Frankie Yancovic!
- Al Jarreau
College
Through
I was a pretty delinquent little kid. My folks and I didn't get along, so I basically moved out... put myself through high school and then college by working. I'm only a half-year short of a degree in history.
- Al Jourgensen
Listening
Knew
I knew from the age of four that I wanted to preach. I didn't even consider it strange that grown people were listening to this kid preaching until I was around thirteen. I have never believed in limitations.
- Al Sharpton
Had
Could
I was the weirdest kid: I wanted to see the police file - in grade school! I was convinced I could crack the case if I just had that file.
- Alafair Burke
Always
Inventing
I used to be an amateur inventor when I was a kid; I'm always inventing something.
- Alan Alda
Want
Show
Right when I started in show... Milton Berle was my first idol. When I was a kid, I went to see Milton at Lowe's State, and I never laughed so much, and I said, 'That's who I want to be; that's what I want to be.'
- Alan King
Always
Funny Thing
It's a funny thing about me. I don't have any interest in food most of the time now, although when I was a kid I was always hungry.
- Alan Ladd
Youngsters
Them
My parents were so poor when I was a kid, I never went anywhere. I take our youngsters with us because I don't know anything that teaches them so much.
- Alan Ladd

Looked

Animation
Many
I loved cartoons as a kid, and so many funny moments in animation for me are nonverbal sounds, unarticulated mouth noise.

Never
Get
Well, as a kid I did not get Shakespeare. I just never understood it.
- Alanis Morissette
Political
Will
Down the road, I'll probably have a kid or two or three. And there will probably be political events or spiritual things to comment on, and humor.
- Alanis Morissette
Brothers
Show
When I was a little kid, my parents would show me Marx Brothers' films and westerns and stuff like that. That's where all my desire to be an actor comes from and probably most of my understanding of acting comes from for sure.
- Alden Ehrenreich
Every Day
I See
The people I see every day have known me since I was a little fat kid.
- Alden Ehrenreich
Festivals
Before
My parents weren't involved in show business, but my parents would show me. We'd watch old films in the house. Little film festivals of Westerns and stuff like that when I was a kid. I knew I wanted to be those guys in those movies before I knew what being an actor was.
- Alden Ehrenreich
Shape
Stories
When you watch a lot of movies as a kid, the stories do shape a little bit how you view the world.
- Alden Ehrenreich

- Alex Ebert
Rink
Dad
When I was a kid, I played sports a lot. My mom and dad were divorced, but I hung out in the neighborhood a lot, and it was all about sports. I would be out all day on the sand lot or on the hockey rink. My dad would take me to baseball games, but he worked so hard, and he would always fall asleep.
- Alex Gibney
Cook
Made
I didn't cook that much as a kid. My mother was cooking, and I was her helper. We made dishes together.
- Alex Guarnaschelli
Chef
Every Day
As a chef, a mom, and a member of Team No Kid Hungry, I believe that every child deserves three meals a day, every day.
- Alex Guarnaschelli
Harmony
Having
I dreamed of having a Gibson. I had a cheap Kent - you know, a Japanese guitar - and then a Kanora, a Japanese guitar. I borrowed a friend's Harmony for years. To have a Gibson was really, really my dream as a kid.
- Alex Lifeson
Early Days
Almost
Songwriters always reminded me of that kid at school who would go around with his guitar, like, 'Yeah, songwritin' man,' looking wistful. That wasn't me - those kinds of people put me off. In the early days, I'd write a bunch of lyrics and almost look at them as a sort of joke, to make the rest of the boys laugh.
- Alex Turner
Very
Younger
When you're younger, there aren't very many kid actors. It's a lot easier to get jobs.

Definitely
I'm definitely a city kid.
- Alexander Skarsgard
Magic
Idea
I hate the idea of any kid missing out on the magic of reading.
- Alexandra Adornetto
Deep
Human Qualities
The vampire movies I embraced as a kid used vampirism as a metaphor that expressed deep sadness and a lot of human qualities.
- Alexandra Cassavetes
My Life
Play
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
Other
Politician
My grandfather was a politician and lived in Washington, D.C., so as a kid, I used to go to D.C. every other weekend.
- Alexandra Daddario
Beauty
Thought
When you put the interest of a kid on money instead of heart then you're destroying the beauty of our lives and our thought process, which should be about how much responsibilities you carry as an athlete and a citizen.
- Alexis Arguello
Through
Been
When I was a kid, I was roaming through Glastonbury Festival at eight years old, on my own. I say 'on my own', but I was probably with my oldest sister Sarah, and she would have been 13 or 14 at the time, so she'd have been walking us around. But I got to go places and meet people, and was trusted a lot, without a doubt.
- Alfie Allen
Rich People
Very
When I was a kid, I believed in Santa Claus. But it was very tough because in the Dominican... there are not a lot of rich people there.
- Alfonso Soriano
Dreams
Why
To be able to help a 13-year-old kid from the Bronx follow her dreams just by letting her know she's not forgotten in this crazy world - that's why I got involved with Frum Tha Ground Up.
- Alicia Keys
Always
Redhead
When I was a kid, my dream was to be a farmer and marry Charlie Brown. I wanted to rescue him and make him happy. Besides, he was always lusting after the little redhead girl.
- Alicia Witt
Bed
Lot
I was depressed a lot as a kid, and I was really sad and wouldn't be able to get out of bed.
- Alisha Boe
Voice
Dad
My dad used to ignore me when I was a kid. He couldn't stand my voice, so he just used to ignore me, and then he'd impersonate me.
- Alison Goldfrapp
Country
Access
Schools are really, really important. It gives you access to every kid in the country. It gives you a massive pool of people to see who might be talented at different sports. It allows kids to try sports. Kids can be inspired all they want, but if they can't go out and try a sport, then it's no good.
- Alistair Brownlee
See
Feeling
It was just the greatest feeling to see a kid with your shoes on.
- Allen Iverson
Play
Theatrical
Growing up, my mom made us this amazing thing called The Mack Theatrical Wardrobe. It was a massive trunk filled with everything that you'd want as a kid if you were into imagination and play.
- Allison Mack
Happy
Small
My mother has stories of leaving me in the bath as small kid, like a 3-year-old, and there being mirrors on the side, and her going to get a towel and coming back in, and me making faces at myself, like, 'Now I'm happy. Now I'm sad.'
- Allison Tolman
Education
About
I feel like in America, we don't have a kid problem. You think about all these issues that these kids are dealing with, we have an adult problem. We have adults that do not place the priority on our kids to get a valuable education.
- Alonzo Mourning
Very
Part
When I was a kid, I was fat, and I was teased mercilessly. But once I grew up and got out of my unhealthy relationship with food, for the most part I've had a very healthy view. If I ever find myself getting worried about how I'll look on the red carpet, I'll take a step back and look at what's really going on inside.
- Alysia Reiner
Complicated
Very
I was just a very dark kid. My family was complicated.
- Amanda Palmer
Lucky
Country
I like taking a path into new country, and I always take the darker path. Not because it's dark, but because there's a secret there that you can share when you get out. That's what I liked as a kid. That's how I approach my work. With a face like mine, it's lucky I have a heart that likes that.
- Amanda Plummer
Poverty
Struggling
I was just a regular kid in poverty, struggling.
- Amar'e Stoudemire
New
Allowed
I went from just a regular nappy-headed kid in poverty to Amar'e Stoudemire, New York Knicks captain superstar. But there's a lot in between that allowed me to get from point A to point B.
- Amar'e Stoudemire
Skinny
Super
As a kid, I was super skinny.
- Amber Riley
I Am
Always
I am a kid. I'll always be a girl at heart.
- Amber Valletta
Fiction
Been
I've been writing fiction since I was a kid. From the age of 15 to 25, I probably wrote more than 50 short stories, one of which was published in 'The Paris Review' in 1989.
- Amor Towles
Pretty
Fights
I was a pretty scrappy, tough kid; I got in all sorts of fights at school. I defended myself - boys didn't mess with me. But as one of seven children, you have to fight for everything anyway.
- Amy Adams
Real
Excited
I'm real excited by a phone where I can look at my kid and talk to her face.
- Amy Heckerling
Education
Play
When I was a kid, school recess and physical education class were times for kids to run around and play games.
- Amy Klobuchar
Behind
Before
Well, it is so difficult right now when you look out on the road and how fast people go and the more and more cars you see out there, for teenagers, you'd think a kid that literally, a few years before, was sitting back in a car seat in the back seat is now behind the wheel.
- Amy Klobuchar
Book
Read
I read a book a day when I was a kid. My family was not literary; we did not have any books in the house.
