I have so many photos of myself in my room when I was a kid; I had one wall that was all TLC posters that I got free at some record store, then another wall was all Public Enemy, and the last wall was all '90210.'

Neymar has been an idol of mine since childhood. I've always tried to mirror myself in the way he plays, and I've also tried imitating some of his haircuts.

Richarlison

I like George Gervin a lot, even as a guy that played a long time ago.

Brandon Ingram

I never really had a celebrity crush when I was little. I know some of my friends have posters up on their bedroom wall; I was never really about that.

Sadie Sink

I'm not a kid. You don't get in this business for anonymity. It's not like I have posters of myself on the wall, but at the same time, I'm kind of ready for a little bit of it, but I worry for my little one, and my family - their privacy. That's what I'm more protective of.

Hugh Jackman

The city of Oakland, since I got here, has been like my second family. They've taken me in and had my back through the hard times and they've celebrated with me through the good times. And so, I love Oakland.

Derek Carr

I met Michael Jordan as a kid. I train with George Gervin also, so that's a big thrill as well. I've learned a lot from him.

Tobias Harris

I never went to rock concerts when I was a kid. I didn't see any rock & roll bands. I had posters on my wall. I had Beatles records.

Dave Grohl

I never had posters on my wall and when I meet actors that I really admire, it's exciting because I get to work with them.

Carey Mulligan

Everybody had posters in their room; everybody had the four symbols of Zeppelin on the wall and all that.

Alec Baldwin

I had 45 Avril Lavigne posters. Those were my first posters.

Daniela Bobadilla

I'm completely fascinated by the health-care debate going on in the United States, especially by posters of Obama with a little mustache drawn on his upper lip. Is that what Hitler is really known for, his health-care plan? To quote Bill Maher, "I haven't seen this many pissed-off old white people since they cancelled 'Murder She Wrote.'"

David Sedaris

I had a sense of mortality since I was a little girl, which has to do with my father, who nearly died eight times in my childhood. He had eight heart attacks.

Mary Steenburgen

Back when I was a kid, I used to tear pages out of magazines and stick them on my bedroom wall - I had the Eternity ads on my wall and the CK One ads. My whole childhood, those were on my wall, and cut to 20 years later, being asked to be the face of one of Calvin Klein's new fragrances is kind of surreal.

Charlie Hunnam

Since my childhood, I had a great liking for Karunanidhi and admired his writing skills.

Vidyasagar

I don't mind being the voice of the New Oakland to maintain the integrity and edge of it. Old Oakland and New Oakland is one and the same. It's connected. I aspire to be the bridge between both.
