I was practically born and raised at 20th Century Fox studio, started to work there selling papers when I was around seven years old, and every summer vacation from school I would work in a various department at the studio. So I was an old-timer when I was 15.

When I started at XCRF in 1960, Mexico was the most lenient country in the world when it came to radio.

I started working with Bob in 1965. We did go through a lot of changes from 65 to 74, a lot of changes. By 1974, everything had straightened itself out.

After convincing myself that was maybe you should at least help out your neighborhood, I really started to think about it later on in life.

If the boat started shaking, we stayed on course and didn’t lose focus. That made the difference.

Before high school ended, I started applying to college. It really wasn’t even a choice because of the brainwashing of my parents.

I was very innocent and shielded as a child, so I didn’t know a lot about music or dancing. When I was in Primary Six, no one would participate in a talent show, so I decided to go on. When the audience applauded me, I felt euphoric, and I started dancing right after that!

When I started counting my blessings, my whole life turned around.

I’ve always loved… actually I didn’t always love horror films. I started out and I only liked comedies and dramas.

I honestly think I’ve gotten taller since I started doing Pilates. And my posture is totally different – no more slouching!

When I started in 1978, the greatest wine in Spain, Vega Sicilia, wasn’t even imported to the United States. The alleged greatest Australian wine, Penfolds Grange, wasn’t imported to the United States. There were no by-the-glass programs. Sommeliers were intimidating.

I started doing up-and-down strumming, basically to keep time and to play fast. As time went on, I started realizing other guitar players couldn’t do it. I always went against the grain.

My first movie was this independent that I did on the Erie Canal in 1995, called Erie, that I don’t know if you could even get, actually with Felicity Huffman. And then from that I did this film that was eventually called The Broken Giant later that fall. And then I kind of started getting...

When I started on my research, I never expected I could invent the LED and laser diode.

So I went and did an audition and became the biggest radio actor in Sydney, and that’s how it all started.

It was huge to read the Proverbs of the day every morning, it was huge to read the Psalm of the day every morning and to get that in us and get us going before the day even started.

I started in high school and regional theater. Anything that came into town, I wanted to be involved in, because I just wanted to learn.

I had to audition as an actor, and I got so tired of doing the same monologues over and over, so I started writing my own, and then I started selling them to other actors.

I knew I could sing. That one thing I did believe in was that I could sing, but then constantly getting rejected, it started to get me down. But my voice was always there and my dream and my ambition was always there when I went through bad times.

I moved to New York – I attended NYU, did a BFA in Acting at NYU. I was really into hip-hop, so I started battling, like ‘8 Mile.’ I used to rap battle.

Konosuke Matsushita was a visionary entrepreneur. He started working very young as a teenager, and he eventually created Panasonic to become a truly global company.

I started to get very well recognized in the early seventies as the only man in the United States who had been elected three times to the board of NOW in New York City.

I had the lunchbox that cleared the cafeteria. I was very unpopular in the early grades. Because I hung out with my grandfather, I started to bring my lunchbox with sardine sandwiches and calamari that I would eat off my fingers like rings. I was also always reeking of garlic.

I was a regular on ‘Holby City,’ and I did daytime; that’s how I started off. Off in Hong Kong doing stuntman stuff, then coming back to England doing daytime soap operas.

No I didn’t audition, I didn’t even know David Lynch till the week before I started the film.

I started in New Orleans music and played all through the history of jazz.

What can I say: I got started on the whole wife-and-kids thing at a young age.

Well – I started writing – probably in the early 60s and by say ’65-’66 I had read most of the poetry that had been published – certainly in the 20 years prior to that.

My cameraman and I devised a method, which we started using from my second film, which applies mainly to day scenes shot in the studio, where we used bounced light instead of direct light. We agreed with this thing of four or five shadows following the actors is dreadful.

I’m a natural blonde. But when I started acting, I would go to auditions and they didn’t know where to put me because I was voluptuous and had the accent, but I had blonde hair. It was ignorance: they thought every Latin person looks like Salma Hayek.

Age is just a number. When I started, I never worried about how long I was going to play. I had very specific goals, and that’s what I really chased.

I started recording because I was always complaining about the records that I was getting of my songs. At least if I did them and messed them up, I wouldn’t have anyone else to blame.

I started out Ice skating with ‘Holiday On Ice’ and just got offered the part of R2 by chance.

Before I started doing the film and when I found out I was going to be doing it, I just decided to pump up on the whole cardio stuff. Just in terms of stamina.

There is a huge sense of loneliness as people leave villages and move to cities. It’s hard to find that human connection as you move away from where you started.

Some very famous directors have started in the mail room, which is just getting inside the studio, getting to know people, getting to know the routine.

We are sliding back into a dark era, and there seems little we can do about it. I am profoundly depressed at just how difficult it has become merely to get a realistic conversation started on issues such as climate change or genetically modified organisms.

I can say, and I am responsible for what I am saying, that they have started to commit suicide under the walls of Baghdad. We will encourage them to commit more suicides quickly.

I had started my love affair with Wimbledon.

Reading and writing are connected. I learned to read very early so I could read the comics, which I then started to draw.

I started playing the violin when I was 5, but by the time I was 12 or 13, I wasn’t really liking it.

Then people started using it more and more and it became the most downloaded software on the internet.

I’d say that, first and foremost, I’m a performer; I started performing when I was four years old, and being on stage from a young age set me up.

Once I started on ‘Frances’ I discovered it was literally a bottomless well. It devastated me to maintain that for eighteen weeks, to be immersed in this state of rage for twelve to eighteen hours a day. It spilled all over, into other areas of my life.

Well, I first started going to Europe in the late ’70s.

I had a big background in listening to classical music and I started trying to compose, like I was playing the guitar but I heard an orchestra in my head.

When I started working in fashion, I didn’t have money to buy photographs, so I’d Xerox pictures from magazines and put them in notebooks. When I’d start a collection, I’d sit with my old notebooks and look through them for inspiration.

At fourteen, I started sending out demo tapes.

I started working with friends of mine and that, to some degree, continues.

All the Warner actors were real actors. They started in theater and led very straightforward lives – you never saw entourages around. The MGM girls were the glamour girls, and they always had the makeup and hair people with them and all that.
