A Quote by Emilie de Ravin

I always felt like I was born in the wrong time period. I felt like I should've been born in the mid-to-late '40s. — © Emilie de Ravin
I always felt like I was born in the wrong time period. I felt like I should've been born in the mid-to-late '40s.
I always felt that I was born in the wrong era. I wanted to be friends with John Garfield, for instance. He was one of the only actors that refused to testify in front of the House Un-American Activities Committee back when the Hollywood Ten blacklist was happening in the McCarthy period. I wish I could've been friends with Charlie Parker and played with him. That's my period. I feel real close to the '40s - and actually I was born in '37, so I was a kid singing on the radio in the '40s. But I always dreamed of going to big cities.
I grew up weird - very sensitive and highly inhibited. I felt like I was born in the wrong time zone to the wrong people at the wrong place.
I'd always somehow felt slightly as if I'd been born in the wrong country.
I always felt like I was meant to have been born in another era, another time.
I wish I could've been friends with Charlie Parker and played with him. That's my period. I feel real close to the '40s - and actually, I was born in '37, so I was a kid singing on the radio in the '40s. But I always dreamed of going to big cities.
I've never felt like I was born with a silver spoon at all, although I've felt like howling at the moon a lot of times!
When I first held my daughter, right after she was born, I felt like it was the moment I'd been waiting my whole life for, and it just felt even more miraculous than I ever could have imagined.
I've always felt like if I was going to be born any other time that it would be during the '60s or definitely during Woodstock.
I'd been born in the wrong century, and I felt cheated.
I felt a certain modicum of success because I had been paid well to be an actor for the first time in my life, but I felt like I had done adolescent work on the show, and stepping into the New York theater arena was the first time I felt like I'd come into my own. I felt like I was proving myself in a gladiatorial arena.
As soon as I got out there I felt a strange relationship with the pitcher's mound. It was as if I'd been born out there. Pitching just felt like the most natural thing in the world. Striking out batters was easy.
I was born rather late in [my father's] life, in his mid - 40s. And so what he did up until the time he was 15, I think probably from age 12 to 15, my grandfather made him demonstrate mediumistic powers at the Exeter Street Theater, the first Spiritualist church in the United States.
I think I've always felt as a band and as a musician and a music business person, I've always felt like an outsider, period.
I always felt that I was born in the wrong era. I wanted to be friends with John Garfield, for instance.
I was on stage from an early age. It always felt to me like something I was born to do.
I've always felt like an outsider as a woman. I've never really felt wholly comfortable in a women's world or woman's things. I've never been conventionally pretty or thin or girly-girl. Never felt dateable. All I've seen on TV has never felt like mine.
