The hard part for me was being an Olympic gold medalist and having that persona; you don't see too many Olympic gold medalists go into acting. It's actually even more difficult. You're not taken very seriously, and you're looked at in a different light, so it was kind of hard for me to go straight from Olympics into acting.

Kurt Angle

I never took fans for granted. I always assumed subconsciously that people who followed what I did were just people who were kind of like me.

Johnny Marr

I'm happy to see that more girls are going into weightlifting and aiming to become Olympic medalists as well.

Hidilyn Diaz

I used to go over to Gene Kelly's house and play volleyball, and Paul Newman and Marlon Brando were always there. You kind of took it for granted because I was 20, 21, 22, and they were a bit older - well, Gene certainly was. But it was just part of daily living. They were in the same profession, and you didn't think that much about it.

Joan Collins

It doesn't matter who you are. It can happen to anybody. We have Kenyan, Dominican Republic and even Scandinavian Olympic gold medalists. All you need is will power.

Edwin Moses

You kind of took it for granted around the Yankees that there was always going to be baseball in October.

Whitey Ford

The only thing that me and Muhammad Ali have in common is that we are both Olympic gold medalists and both very outspoken.

Claressa Shields

I do take for granted, probably, the fact that I grew up in New York City, one of the most liberal places on earth, with bleeding-heart, liberal parents who took me to see 'Rent' and Terrence McNally plays from a very young age.

Billy Eichner

I've always had to force myself to make friends and speak to people. My parents were quiet, and it took me a while to get used to the fact that people talk about their feelings, their problems.

Helen Hunt

The playoffs is ? I think I took it for granted a little bit. My first two years I kind of just thought that always happened, I guess.

Clayton Kershaw

My parents are highly evolved worriers. ... If worrying were an Olympic sport, my parents' faces would have graced the Wheaties box a long time ago.

Firoozeh Dumas

My parents were admirers of President Roosevelt and the New Deal. Their parents and most of our relatives and neighbors were Republicans, so they were self-conscious in their liberalism and took it as emblematic of their ability to think for themselves.

Robert Lucas, Jr.

In spite of my parents being actors, I never took acting as a profession for granted and still don't.

Shriya Pilgaonkar

The difference is that these young people take it for granted that they're going to get whatever they want, and that we almost always took it for granted that we shouldn't. Only, I wonder—the thing one's so certain of in advance: can it ever make one's heart beat as wildly?

Edith Wharton

My parents took me to see plays, starting from when I was very little. Oftentimes, I was too young to understand. I don't know what my parents were thinking - 'Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf' when I was eight years old, that kind of thing. So lots of times, I didn't understand what was going on, but I just loved the sound of dialogue.

Aaron Sorkin

I would always slip away to the cinema. I always found something absolutely extraordinary about the fact that these actors were always kind of kicking hard at some new dimension they were doing on film.

Geoffrey Rush
