Whenever people used to ask me what I wanted to be when I was older, I would always say that I wanted to be a singer. When I was 12, I decided I would do something about it, so I started writing songs.

Eliza Doolittle

When I was in high school, people would ask me what I wanted to do, and I would always say I wanted to 'lead marches and give speeches.'

Michael Tubbs

When I used to do the action scenes, I would have to play it rough. If you hit an actress accidentally, she would usually take it on the chin and say, `Don't do that again.' But with the guys, they would put ice on it, take a 20-minute break and ask for x-rays. It was unbelievable.

Jessica Alba

When people would ask me which was my favourite destination, I would say I didn't have one, because I would always want to go to a new place, but Maldives is incredible.

I would ask my mother to show me how to walk - and she did show me. That's why I think it's funny when people say, 'Did so-and-so teach you how to walk?' And I always say, 'You must be talking about my mother, because it was my mother who taught me how to walk.'

Naomi Campbell

People ask me, How would you do as a contestant on the show? And I tell them I would do fairly well among senior citizens, but against a good thirty-year-old I would have trouble because I cannot recall information as quickly as I used to. You used to say something and I would go, boom, right away, very sharp. Now it's like, Oh, yes, but wait a minute, uh, uh.

Alex Trebek

When people used to ask me why I got involved with Hollywood films, I would say jokingly that it was for the health insurance.

Spalding Gray

I never set out to be an actor. Again, my mother presented this job by job to me at the time, and if it sounded fun, I would say yes and if it didn't, I would say no. I always knew, since I was 7 or 8 years old, that it was a means to an end and that I wanted to go to college.

Gaby Hoffmann

People always ask why I would leave ILM, and it's because 'Mythbusters' sounded like fun.

I remember when I became an actress and when people would come and ask me if they could take a picture with me, I would say no. Then my mom told me, 'Who do you think you are? You are what you are because of them. The day they will stop coming to you, you will be no one.' I realised I was wrong.
