I’ve been an entrepreneur three times. I started three companies.

I had started doing theater in high school, and while I was doing that, I got my manager.

I first started working in film when I was 17. I was a director’s assistant, an editor.

I was so dorky up until I was about 14 or 15 and started to get a little bit cooler, but I was a socks and sandals girl. I would wear big frilly socks with...

Allow me a bit of philosophy here… We started tele skiing as a rebellion against rules.

When it comes to electronic music, I started listening to a lot of Daft Punk, way before I knew what house music was, and then progressed into a lot of Steve Angello, Eric Prydz, Axwell,...

I wrote my epitaph: He started out a particle and ended up a wave.

When I first started cooking, I was very much an intuitive cook when it came to taste, but that didn’t mean I didn’t want to know why some things worked and why others did not....

When I started to play trumpet I was fortunate to learn very quickly.

My teacher Tom Spanbauer, the man who got me started writing in his workshop, used to say: ‘Writers write because they weren’t invited to a party.’ That always struck so true, and people always nod...

I started D.J.-ing my first year of college just for fun and to pay bills.

Writing a TV show is totally different than writing features, or just, what I started doing is writing features. You write a little bit more organically. You start from the beginning to the end, beginning,...

My way of remaining French was the financing scheme I used for Quest for Fire, with Fox funds, since it started as a 100% American production. The film was not in French and yet was...

It wasn’t until I was in my teens that I started admiring writers as inspirations for my own work, and my earliest influences there were Stephen King, Marion Zimmer Bradley and Richard Adams.

It wasn’t until I had been writing on and off for maybe ten years that I started to establish any kind of routine, thought I couldn’t put a finger on an exact date, and this...

I started doing martial arts when I was about 7, and I got my second degree black belt when I was 19. So I have my second degree black belt, but I’ve never used it,...

The drawing of a ‘Pipeline Wave’ started with Billabong as a commission for their 2009 Pipeline Masters campaign. My ‘Pipeline Wave’ drawing later became the start of my ‘Waterworks Collection’ for gallery prints.

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...

I loved American filmmakers when I was growing up. I didn’t get to film school or anything. I was a very bad student. I just devoured film, but there was a point in my teens...

My mind started wandering. I started playing carefully, instead of playing the way that had gotten me to that point. I had to force myself to keep driving the ball.

Did you know I started out as a stand-up comic? People don’t believe me when I tell them. That’s how I saw myself, in comedy.

We started with Denny Cordell, and he was a great record producer. He knew exactly how to take a band that knew absolutely nothing, and guide you without trying to tell you what to do.

We didn’t have a garage to rehearse in. We had to aggravate the folks in the house. But I got a chance to play in a beer joint, and that’s how it started.

When I started performing, there was no Internet; I didn’t really have anything to copy. I kind of had to just make up what I thought burlesque was, based on photographs of Sally Rand or...

It was definitely hard when I first started, and by no means do I consider my live show to be where I want it to be; it will develop step by step for the rest...

I started my career without fans.

My first real break was meeting my manager, Julie Gibson. She’s the one that introduced me to Ford and Innovative and got me started.

I teased Randy Orton because he started using my finish, the Angle Slam. I said, ‘Hey, I don’t mind you using it, but at least give it a name.’ When he hits it, the announcers...

I started to look like a cartoon character with the fringe and the catsuits. Yes, I want to change and mix it up. I want to change my hair, change my style. I want to...

From the moment I started writing raps, I was always aware of the pressure. I always wanted to live up to how huge Snoop got, how huge Dre got, how huge Pac got. I was...

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

When we were on the road, I found out that my greatest hits album went Gold. They freaked out. Things really came to a head when we started arguing about a Van Halen greatest hits...

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

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.

In modelling, it’s very hard to keep in touch with the people you knew when you started.

Being surrounded by hockey, I got forced into it as a kid. I started skating when I was 4 and had a rink only 10 minutes from my home. In my town, we had one...

People can tell when you’re happy with being you and when you’re not. It’s only cheesy because it’s true. As I’ve gotten older and grown into my body, I’ve started realizing that the way you...

I started writing diaries, and mine were horrible. Oh, the monotony. Oh, the angst. I said, ‘I don’t want anyone to find these!’ I destroyed them.

I’m very interested in my new kitchen equipment shop. I’ve started it with two friends.
