I learned to canoe at summer camp and thought I’d pursue Olympic whitewater canoeing. In my senior year of high school, I instead decided to attend M.I.T. I like to say I’ve had only two...

I’m still a tomboy at heart. In high school, I was the girl in the baggy jeans and Timberlands, but I was also at the hairdresser’s every week.

When you aspire to inspire before you expire, you conspire to inspire even after you pause to respire. Keep pushing it!

I didn’t take the typical path and go to college after high school. Instead, I saved up money from teaching dance classes and moved to L.A. But my family was so supportive – I never...

I did not grow up with a spatula in my hand. I didn’t even cook that much in high school. I was busy being a teenager and doing everything that goes along with that.

We played a lot of sandlot ball, so we were used to tackling each other, or falling on the concrete, things of that nature. And nine times out of 10, our flag games turned into...

My second grade teacher told me I would never graduate high school. That I was going to be a juvenile delinquent.

You got guys now declaring they’re ready to play pro ball in their second or third year of high school. It’s crazy! They’re missing so much.

I was not a very popular kid in high school, and I had this idea that the way that I dressed would change how liked I was. It was that kind of Pygmalion story. I...

I used to love to play dress-up, where you get your mother’s or your grandmother’s dresses and high heels.

The stakes are high on every film now because there’s the opening weekend. The first week is extremely crucial; increasingly, films are being judged in terms of opening day, opening weekend, then first week. People...

Clinton’s egregious act of self-indulgence was outdone by an impeachment based not on constitutionally required high crimes and misdemeanors but on a vindictive determination to bring down a president who had offended self-righteous moralists eager...

The supply-side effect of a restrictive monetary policy is likely to be perverse, in that high interest rates enter into costs and thus exert inflationary pressure.

I feel like Alice in Wonderland. Maybe Lewis G Carroll was on drugs too.

After high school, I drove out to L.A. with a friend of mine who had just graduated also, and I started auditioning. I got an agent, but it was all ‘Saved By the Bell’ auditions.

When people ask where I studied to be an ambassador, I say my neighborhood and my school. I’ve tried to tell my kids that you don’t wait until you’re in high school or college to...

Every man who is high up loves to think that he has done it all himself; and the wife smiles, and lets it go at that.

I try to maintain a high level of coolness. Which means I’ve gotta look at lot of magazines. I’ve gotta look at a lot of ads to see what people want to wear.

Stand up; Grow up and Climb up. The reason why you can’t see farther and further is because you didn’t climb higher. Be willing to explore and be informed!

High school students ought to seek out campus communities where they feel not only empowered to engage their talents, but also challenged to leave their comfort zones. The ability to embrace new opportunities emerges, in...

When I was in junior high, a foreign-history teacher started a theater class. So I got my feet wet there and through high school, so I was very fascinated with acting as a means of...

I’ve learned that getting what you want gives you a pretty high batting average, and leaves you plenty to struggle for.

When I was 14 years old, I went on location to film ‘Mrs. Doubtfire’ for five months, and my high school was not happy. My job meant an increased workload for teachers, and they were...

How an individual’s reputation is protected online is too important and subtle a policy matter to be legislated by a high court, which is institutionally mismatched to the evolving intricacies of the online world.

When Chrome launched, it was not a high point for Firefox. There’s no secret about that.

The choice of personnel, perhaps the most important choice (because ‘people are policy’), never proceeds according to plan, but there have been some successful transitions that upheld high standards.

In Los Angeles, parenting is a competitive sport. From Beverly Hills baby boutiques to kids’ yoga classes, L.A. fuses high style, industrial-strength materialism, and parental outsourcing into our own unique version of child-rearing.

I was a jazz major in high school, in an all-jazz band. No matter what I do, it features my musical influences.

I kept hiding my smile in pictures throughout middle school and most of high school until picture day came my senior year.

A newspaper is a circulating library with high blood pressure.

I started making little short films with friends, and then I decided I wanted to get into the school play in high school.

My mom sent me to regular high school because she wanted me to have that experience and not say that I missed out, but I didn’t like it at all. I’m more comfortable in the...

When I was in high school I moved from the big city to a tiny village of 500 people in Vermont. It was like The Waltons!

Love is the best drug, bar none.

On the other hand, we raised $25 million by going public. It’s that money that we used to build this company, to build the circulation, to build a high profile and to hire staff that...

It’s tough in the NHL; you have to produce on a high level. And everybody expects you to do it because you make a lot of money. And I never minded it. I always want...

In the state of Wisconsin it’s mandated that teachers in the social sciences and hard sciences have to start giving environmental education by the first grade, through high school.

The high is what you crave, what you would kill for… and believe me, you will lie to yourself until it’s to late to stop.

There will be certain points of time when everything collides together and reaches critical mass around a new concept or a new thing that ends up being hugely relevant to a high percentage of people...

Being an actress is similar to trying to fit in with the popular kids in high school. You’re expected to drive the right car, wear the right clothes and say the right things.

I never really wore makeup in high school; I wasn’t really into it yet, which is probably good.

I actually had a movie green lit at Disney the same week ‘Burlesque’ was green lit – a movie for Disney called ‘Mash-Up’, about a high school marching band.

I once tried standing up on my toes to see far out in the distance, but I found that I could see much farther by climbing to a high place.

My early childhood prepared me to be a social psychologist. I grew up in a South Bronx ghetto in a very poor family. From Sicilian origin, I was the first person in my family to...

The mosque was the neighbourhood house of worship, but it was also the place where my high school friends and I came to study.

Some countries, like Saudi Arabia, where the population growth is very high, whereby you don’t have the mortgage low yet. Still the demand outstrips supply by much.

I didn’t necessarily fit in in high school. I felt very awkward. I still feel completely awkward and weird in my body sometimes. I’m hoping that’s going to go away, but I’ve just embraced it...

I never thought that I could reach such a high political position. But I have always been ready to serve my country.
