I went to art school… but I worked at the Museum of Modern Art. I worked in fundraising at the information membership desk.

Kathi Appelt

I’m disappointed about how my career ended.

Rickey Henderson

Regardless of any experiences in the past, for me it really is important to be engrossed in as much of the creative process as I possibly can. I was surprised with how much the eight years I spent on ‘Castle’ actually serviced that. I ended up, in a way, having a free education on that show.

Sharon Horgan

I dated all these girls and ended up not liking them and thought to myself, ‘What was it that all of them had in common?’ They had too much time on their hands.

Wale

Rahm Emanuel

Jeffrey Sachs

My father’s Alfred Newman – born in 1900, child prodigy at the piano, ended up in pit orchestras in the teens.

Thomas Newman

So to answer your question, I’m not entirely sure how I ended up where I am today, in the sense that nobody in my family is an actor. It just happened by mistake.

My mother wanted me to be a writer, which I have ended up taking a long road round to.

There are the tears of rage when books get praised when they’re so obviously garbage. But then there are so many more that continue to move me: the end of ‘Paradise Lost,’ ‘The Ruined Cottage’ by Wordsworth, Prospero’s ‘Our revels now are ended’ speech near the end of ‘The Tempest.’

Geoff Dyer

I was fortunate enough to have my kids early, so being a mom always ended up being a better gig than these other parts that came along. So I always justified not really working a lot because I had a family.

That’s really how I ended up making the first flag – I was the guy who could sew it.

Gilbert Baker

I worked with Michael Black and Michael Showalter on their show ‘Michael and Michael Have Issues.’ We did some stuff on that, but it ended up not getting picked up for a second season. There will be more stuff, but not right now. Michael Showalter and I are literally next-door neighbors. We see quite a lot of each other.

Zak Orth

On-camera stuff just hit. I decided to do it to supplement my voice-over career, but I ended up falling in love with it, and it actually hit a lot harder than my voice-over career.

In real life, I have mostly gone for nice guys. I definitely had a phase where I was like, “Oh, the bad guy is really cool.” It’s fun to be bad for a while, and then that ended really terribly – one piece of advice I’ll give to people is your mom is always right.

Melissa Ordway

There are no war stories. I ended up a bombardier, but I never got overseas. And it wasn’t because I was playing baseball either. It was just a series of things that went on.

Thomas Dolby

I just wanted to be a composer; I became an actor by default, really. I got a scholarship to a college of music and drama, hoping to take a scholarship in music. But I ended up as an acting student, so I’ve stuck with that for the last 50-odd years.

Anthony Hopkins

Britt Robertson

I started out with a dream to make a star in a jar in my garage, and I ended up meeting the President of the United States!

Work aside, I think would have ended up in the U.S. because I like being here a lot. I really do.

You don’t need a uniform color: We used a mixture of brick red, browns and grays, and then threw in seashells, branches and various types of rock, so our walls ended up looking like cave paintings!

Randy Bachman

Any time you end a relationship, and everyone has ended plenty in their life, it’s always a tough thing and hard to get over.

Adam Brody

Peter Berg

I wanted to win the gold medal and then go home and further my education in college. I had no intentions whatsoever to become a professional fighter because I had heard horror stories about former boxers who made money but, in the end, ended up with nothing. I didn’t want to be one of those guys.

Sugar Ray Leonard

I had tried to get focused on other things. But I always ended up back in the same place, and it wasn’t making me happy. I needed to get the focus back.

I ended up an actor, did my first professional union gig in 1974, and I’ve been doing it ever since.

Tim Hardaway

As a Midlander and a big walker, I’d always loved ridge and furrow fields, the plough-marked land as it was when it was enclosed. It is the landscape giving you a story of lives that ended with the arrival of sheep.

Football is something I would never give up on, whether I ended up playing professional or in a Sunday league team.

Shania Twain

Liane Moriarty

There are certain times you realize you’ve got too much money. One was when I started getting bills from the Koi hotel. When I was remodeling the Koi pond, the Koi had to go to the Koi hotel. They ended up staying there for 13 months and I never asked what the bill was.

Sam Simon

Shows have a tendency to end when they’re over. ‘The Dukes of Hazzard’ has not ended for the fans, and it has not ended for the cast or the crew, and I’m very proud to be a part of that.

John Schneider

When ‘Foyle’s War’ ended in 2010 after seven series, I was sad but not despondent. After all, ITV had already axed the show once in 2007, then brought it back due to public demand.

Honeysuckle Weeks

I was never a good journalist, because I would make things up. A lot of people frowned on that, which is why I ended up in fiction.

Majel Barrett

My dad worked all sorts of jobs when I was growing up and finally ended up as a surveyor; my mum delivers meals to old folk around where we live. We didn’t have much money when I was growing up, but I had a very happy childhood.

Michelle Dockery

My first place in Nashville was like ‘Animal House.’ The whole band lived under one roof, and most nights the jam sessions ended close to sunrise.

Miesha Tate

My mother took care of us until my father scrammed, and then she ended up working in the small-factory sector of New Jersey with a lot of other immigrants.

Junot Diaz

The study of tavern history often brings to light much evidence of sad domestic changes. Many a cherished and beautiful home, rich in annals of family prosperity and private hospitality, ended its days as a tavern.

Alice Morse Earle

So they ended up turning this little twenty eight page book into the movie. And it’s all about this stinky, smelly ogre who doesn’t care what anybody thinks of him.

I am a Congregationalist with Catholic sensibilities. Which probably explains how I ended up in a Episcopal church.

Robert Englund

I was listening to the guy that represented me in the state Senate, and I just got really frustrated. I called my wife and said, ‘I’ve always wanted to do something that makes a difference.’ So I ended up running and won.

Matt Salmon

I used to hear all these guys on 78s at my mother’s when I was a teenager… I used to daydream that I was onstage playing the solos; I’m playing with B.B. King, and I’m playing with Lowell Fulsom, Jimmy McCracklin. And I literally ended up being in a band that backed them up at different clubs.

Cynthia Robinson

What I tell these young people is, the world is not as dangerous as the older generation would like you to believe. Anyone I know who has ever taken a risk and lost a job has ended up getting a better one two years later.

Jonathan Kozol

In the late 1960s, I ended up in Telluride, Colorado. It wasn’t like the country club that it is now. It was very raw. Skiing was there, but snowboarders have now entirely overrun it.

Lance Henriksen

I’ve had two terrific relationships, but both ended in marriage.

Jane Seymour

I’ve ended up feeling fonder of ‘The Paying Guests’ than of any of my other novels.

Sarah Waters

Now I worry. If people ended up liking me, did I do the job wrong? So I decided they didn’t end up liking me – they ended up being able to deal with me.

Daniel Okrent

It’s pretty amazing to write under any circumstances when someone gives you an assignment to write a song, even if it doesn’t get accepted. I’ve written songs a couple of times, some for Disney, that haven’t actually ended up in their films, but then you’re left with a song forever.

Jenny Lewis

As I’ve written before, China’s ability to be the assembly line to the world wasn’t where its role in the global economy ended; it was where it began. An ability to make products cheaper than anywhere else gave way to an ability to make high end products more nimbly than anywhere else.

Sarah Lacy

You had to be aware that I saw that photography was a mere episode in the history of the optical projection and when the chemicals ended, meaning the picture was fixed by chemicals, we were in a new era.

I had the honor of speaking with Asimov. The album ended up being something not directly related to Asimov, but related instead to the concept of the power of robotics.

Alan Parsons

A friend got attacked outside a nightclub just for being deaf. I stuck up for him but ended up getting in a bit of a trouble myself. I played with a tag at Stocksbridge. I had a little curfew. Luckily, it didn’t stop me playing football. Being put on a tag, I could have lost playing football again.

Jamie Vardy

When I started out, nobody told you how to do an interview. That’s how I ended up on the front page of a newspaper dressed as Rodney Trotter with a Reliant Robin.

Peter Crouch

I used to be an over-packer! It took me a while to be smart about what I brought with me. I used to tour with a huge bag full of clothes and another one full of shoes because I wanted to have choices. And I ended up wearing the same pair of shoes all the time!

Juliana Hatfield

The fight ended. For both was victory. For both there was defeat.

Anna Wickham

Something that required the best of you has ended. You will miss it.

Paul O’Grady

My teachers encouraged me to audition for some professional work during our summer vacation. I landed my first job. It was for the National Theatre Company’s Mimika Pantomime troupe. I ended up touring with them for the next two years.

Didi Conn

When I was 17, my main goal was to be in a band and travel the world. I ended up getting to do that with my old band Hey Monday. I got to see the world and learn how to tour, and the next thing I knew, I was on ‘The Voice.’ So it was just a crazy, crazy ride.

Cassadee Pope

Because my dad’s Chinese-American, and they’re very concrete, he said, ‘There’s no money to be made in literature.’ So he told me to go into the sciences. And I was a good girl. And I did what Daddy said. And that’s how I ended up being a doctor. But you know, you just can’t stamp out that desire to tell stories.

Tess Gerritsen

Like most comics, I tried to come up with a sitcom idea that was based around my life. And it didn’t work out. But maybe because it didn’t work out, that’s why I ended up on ‘Breaking Bad;’ I don’t know.

Bill Burr

When I was in the seventh grade I did a report about the environment and the loss of species. It was supposed to be only a few pages, but ended up being nearly 50.

Woody Harrelson

Oh yeah – I watched Knife in the Water, saw the shot, and repeated it. But even if I hadn’t seen that film, inevitably the camera would’ve ended up on top of that mast, I mean if you think of it there are only so many dynamic shots on a boat.

Phillip Noyce

We ended up with 19 hours of footage and had to narrow it down to an hour and a half. Our instructions were to film everything that came up, including the more mundane moments.

Joshua Leonard

To me, the series was the end of the actor, when the series ended.

Jackie Cooper

I had become obsessed with the control-freak aspect of photography and with the rising importance of the image in our social media age it ended up working.

Cole Sprouse

I really love comedy and weirdly enough, I love how my journey has ended up. I get to laugh all day long.

Anna Faris

There was a time when I was practicing law in New York and I wanted to find something else to do. So I ended up leaving the practice of law to pursue my art and it just happened to be out of Lego bricks.

Nathan Sawaya

A lot of student directors used to pick other students to be in their graduate films, so. I ended up doing a couple of them just for fun. Eventually, I got an agent through a friend and I did some commercials; then I got Knots Landing.

Brian Austin Green

For some reason, I like to put myself in situations where I don’t even know how I ended up there. I never want to be complacent or comfortable in a role.

Laura Prepon

My treatment ended in March/April of ’08. It wasn’t until the end of that summer that I started to feel I wasn’t depressed. Even when I went on vacation to Saint Lucia, I was kind of depressed, even though it was such a beautiful place.

Robin Roberts

Well, you know I grew up wanting to be a Clemson Tiger and I ended up being able to play there and I went to school there.

Lee Brice

My parents were great at making sure I got out of bed when I needed to play football on a Sunday morning and that I was ready after school to go to training on a Tuesday and Thursday. But it was never forced upon me or rammed down my throat. If it had been, I could have ended up hating sport.

Greg Rutherford

Students often approached me about state-paid tuition while I was out campaigning. After I explained to them that if the state pays their tuition now, they will pay higher taxes to pay other people’s tuition for the rest of their lives, most of them ended up agreeing with me.

Jesse Ventura

And I started as a journalism major at Ohio State, ended up in theater and I love to read.

Patricia Heaton

A friend told me about a Nike competition, where they give you one minute to do tricks with a basketball. I wasn’t going to go, but they were giving away free sneakers. I ended up coming in second place.

Ramon Rodriguez

I’m a person who likes to hang out. I would never go on a blind date. That sounds like the most uncomfortable thing on the planet earth. It’s like, ‘Hi. Nice to meet you. So, what kind of music do you like?’ Date ended.

Kirsten Dunst

I’ve done for the most part pretty much what I intended – I ended up doing comedy, writing and painting. I’ve had a ball. And as I get older, I just become an older kid.

Jonathan Winters

While I was trying to save money to go to the National Institute of Dramatic Art in Australia I ended up getting all of this experience which meant that by the time I had enough money in the bank to go to school I didn’t really need to go to school anymore.

Russell Crowe

I’ve known Emma Watson since she was 9, we’ve watched each other grow up, formed this sort of brother/sister bond, and suddenly I’m leaning in to kiss her. Well, it felt completely wrong… but, you know, you try to sink into the character and divorce yourself from it. We ended up laughing hysterically afterwards.

Rupert Grint

Senators say they fear the N.R.A. and the gun lobby. But I think that fear must be nothing compared to the fear the first graders in Sandy Hook Elementary School felt as their lives ended in a hail of bullets.

Gabrielle Giffords

ACT UP was trying to explain to Americans that AIDS could affect all of us: that health care that ended once your disease was expensive could affect more than gay men with HIV or AIDS. We were trying to tell them about the future – a future they didn’t yet see and would be forced to accept if they failed to act.

Alexander Chee

The first time I met President Obama was 2006 in Baghdad. He was the senator from Illinois; it was a month before he actually ended up declaring. He had to come to Baghdad to kind of check that box, and I was the correspondent for ‘Newsweek’ at the time.

Michael Hastings

When you’re a young actor you like to go for characters with a bit of flair, so in many films I ended up playing the weirdos. I can assure you I’m not a psycho or a criminal or a bully.

Kiefer Sutherland

When I lived in Baltimore, I would come down fairly often to go to the Hirshhorn, and one of my good friends from high school went to Georgetown. I actually ended up going to Annapolis a lot. I had a car, and it was such a serene place to drive.

Abbi Jacobson

My dad had been very absent, even when he was there. Then he left the family and moved away. Our relationship, it feels to me, ended when I was 13.

Olly Alexander

A dream of mine is to become an executive producer and writer. I would love if that ended up happening to me in the future.

Cierra Ramirez

I ended up in the US for a month or so, before moving to Montreal with some Romanian friends.

Nadia Comaneci

I’ve broken my nose, I’ve broken ribs. You name it. In fact, we just got back from South America, and I fell over a monitor speaker on the stage and almost ended up in the front row of the audience. I managed to sprain my wrist on that one but luckily nothing was broken.

Keith Emerson

I could have ended the war in a month. I could have made North Vietnam look like a mud puddle.

Barry Goldwater

My first go at drinking did not go so well. I ended up getting sick in front of everybody. You know that Ginuwine song ‘Pony’? It was playing at the party while I was getting sick. My entire senior year, everyone sang that around me. For a year. I would like that erased from my memory.

Jenna Dewan

I wanted to be Anthony Hopkins and ended up being neither a film star nor having a career on the stage.

Dirk Benedict

Doubt, of whatever kind, can be ended by action alone.

Thomas Carlyle

Everyone’s gone through a breakup, and I’ve dated girls in the past where… I’ve never had a messy breakup, thankfully, but I’m never the one to end it. I’m always caught off guard as to why things ended because I guess I’m oblivious in a way.

Charlie Puth

Sometimes I’ve sat outside, not to tan, but as a result of that I ended up tanning slightly.

Julian Casablancas

When I was about 12, I had my first paying gig – 8 dollars to play rhythm guitar in a polka band. Pretty soon, I ended up playing in all the bars within driving distance of Abbott, Texas.

Willie Nelson

Whether you like it or not, Paris is the beating heart of Western civilisation. It’s where it all began and ended.

Alan Furst

I fell in love with Dorset and ended up living there for a while.

Julie Harris

I was never really comfortable doing comedy. Though it was good the first couple of years, there were problems, and it became a stifling experience. I was happy it ended.

Ricky Schroder

You can only avoid responsibility for so long. The catalyst ended up being the law coming down and finally saying, ‘You guys suspended judgement and that’s fine, because we’re not.’

Rosario Dawson

Had I been a great athlete, I’m not sure I would have even gone into coaching. I may have turned out feeling that my life ended when my athletic career ended, as happens so many times with various athletes.

Lou Holtz

I am naturally slim, actually thin. So, for years I have been trying to get some curves. I tried eating food that would increase my weight, but I only ended up putting fat around my stomach. So, now I have made peace with my body.

Kangana Ran

aut

I think it was 1987 – something like that – or ’86, and I thought, ‘When you go equity and you’re gonna get paid, you’ll finally be able to make a living.’ But it was not to be so. I always bartended and waited tables so I ended up not doing theater for about a year because nobody would hire me.

Denis O’Hare

By never marrying, I ended up never divorcing, but I also failed to accumulate that brocade of civility and padlock of security – kids you do or don’t want, Tiffany silver you never use – that makes life complete.

Elizabeth Wurtzel

The first time I was homeless was when I went to Atlanta. I was in a homeless shelter, then when I got a job I used to miss the curfew for the shelter. So I ended up sleeping outside in the streets.

Jay Electronica

I formed my own studio, carried my own deficits, owned one-hundred percent of my negatives, and made a lot of mistakes, but we ended up being the third largest TV studio in Hollywood.

Stephen J. Cannell

The role that I played in Ukraine ended up resulting in Ukraine becoming part of the European community.

Paul Manafort

Wouldn’t it be great if we just ended up tied? I think it would be beautiful.

Mark McGwire

When you tell your kids they can be anything, you’ve got to be careful. I told my kids that, and I ended up with a music producer and an interior designer. But they’re doing it.

Chris Gardner

Today, actors aren’t forced to ditch their regional accents like they used to. The best example’s Tom Baker, a Scouser who went to great lengths to change his accent and ended up with something alien – and fantastic. It’s sad that when the likes of him go, there won’t be those sorts of accents any more.

Matt Berry

My dad didn’t want me to play guitar. He played piano, so I chose that. And I ended up loving it.

Gavin DeGraw

If I had a big brother who was a year older than me or something, I probably wouldn’t have ended up being a filmmaker.

M. Night Shyamalan

If we were motivated by money, we would have sold the company a long time ago and ended up on a beach.

Larry Page

There were various turning points, but the main one at the beginning was that I was going off to do another degree in the history of art. I would have ended up as some art historian at Sotheby’s or something.

Hugh Grant

I left Sudan when I was 25 or 26 years old. If I had stayed, I would never have ended up being an entrepreneur. You can have the qualities, but if you don’t have the environment, you just wither away. It’s like a fish: take it out of water, it will not survive.

Mo Ibrahim

My grandmother on my father’s side, a nightclub singer, was a Jewish refugee from Prussia who ended up in Jerusalem, where she met my grandfather – a British army officer. I remember as a child having bowls of chicken soup made by her. There were lots of interesting components, like feet and necks.

Jamie Cullum

I desperately wanted to play the part of Darth Vader’s mother – I think she ended up being played by a Scandinavian actress – because my son was completely crazy about ‘Star Wars.’

Lindsay Duncan

The whole schizophrenia angle interested me. When I first started working on it, I thought I would play up that angle more than I ended up doing. The religious aspect of the story was also a draw.

Chester Brown

All my family were brilliant cooks when I was growing up, but I ended up just cleaning up, so I’ve always lacked confidence in the kitchen.

Amanda Eliasch

Oddly enough, George Pal always began and ended something with The Bible. All his pictures had a religious undertone. God was always there, protecting us.

Ann Robinson

I ended up moving downtown with these three dudes that I didn’t really know. I came into the house, and I didn’t realize how things worked. From, like, 15-18, I was just fighting them. I fought, like, every day, and these were, like, older dudes. It was every man for himself.

Tory Lanez

I started dancing when I was about 15 or 16 in my high school drama club, and then I liked it so much that they offered dual enrollment classes. So my senior year, I ended up taking college dance courses while I was in high school because I had good grades.

Garrett Clayton

I was actually signed at a very young age – I was 12 – and one thing led to another, and I ended up in a mutual split from the label. But it was probably the best thing that could have ever happened, because I was able to kind of leave the industry side of it for a minute and focus on the independent side.

Tori Kelly

I first travelled to Africa at the end of 1996 and was immediately captivated. I had planned on a three-week trip, and I ended up staying two months.

Susan Minot

The era of gentleman racing drivers is ended.

Enzo Ferrari

The power of the ADA is that it ended up changing my life long before I ever imagined it would.

Tammy Duckworth

Between their rise in the thirteenth century and their sudden fall in the seventeenth, when the line abruptly ended, the Medicis produced three popes, two queens, and many Florentine rulers, and they supported the work of Galileo, Michelangelo, Leonardo, and Botticelli – a veritable parade of geniuses.

Hanya Yanagihara

Every time I’ve done something that doesn’t feel right, it’s ended up not being right.

Mario Cuomo

Music, even if I ended up doing something different or do end up doing something different in the long run, it’s just something that is life blood. If I’m not participating in some way, I feel like I’m wasting my time.

Autre Ne Veut

The first time I ever recorded, which was into my boom-box, I was like, ‘Wow, check that out.’ It sounded great. The narcotic of it was so intense – it was pleasurable. I was like, ‘You sound like a band.’ Then I ended up spending the rest of my life trying to chase that initial high again.

Ian MacKaye

One senses that all the Bolsheviks, even those who ended up as cold-blooded autocrats, had been on a journey from idealism to something else, and didn’t notice – to mix periods – when the Rubicon was crossed.

Tom Stoppard

I had sort of exhausted all the avenues playing in Detroit. So again, through the stewardship of my brother, I ended up in California and went to the Musicians Institute in L.A. I wanted to get better as a player.

Chad Smith

‘Warm Bodies’ ended up becoming one of the most personal relatable things I’ve written.

Isaac Marion

I wanted to be a doctor when I was a kid, but I started doing theater in high school because it was a requirement. At first, I was completely irritated. But I ended up loving it.

Sophia Bush

I was basically a dork that hit the books and liked to build things and did all of the things that you weren’t supposed to do to be popular. But somehow I ended up onstage, playing guitar in front of everybody else.

Tom Scholz

It ended up being a very good thing, because they finally started writing for the character, and I realized that you have to go to work with a purpose. I learned from the experience and then moved on.

Matthew Ashford

What motivates me is just to do a really, really good job at something. If I were a better musician, I probably would’ve ended up as one.

Stewart Butterfield

Yesterday ended last night. Today is a brand-new day.

Zig Ziglar

An awful lot of successful technology companies ended up being in a slightly different market than they started out in. Microsoft started with programming tools, but came out with an operating system. Oracle started doing contracts for the CIA. AOL started out as an online video gaming network.

Marc Andreessen

I was this guy who’d been racing around down there, on that field in 1999, running straight over people, scoring tries, winning games, having fun. And I ended up so sick I couldn’t even run past a little baby.

Jonah Lomu

When I look back on my life, I overpaid for my big successes every time. And when I tried to get a bargain, get it a little cheaper or get a better deal on it, I ended up usually either getting it and not happy I got it. Or missing it.

Jerry Jones

‘Facts of Life’ was and continues to be a milestone on my journey. But when people act like the journey ended when ‘Facts of Life’ ended, that’s annoying. I could never and would never want to divorce myself from it because it was such a great experience from so many different facets.

Kim Fields

I always said that if I could just find a guy who could chop wood and had a nice smile, it wouldn’t bother me if he was a thug or an aristocrat, as long as he was a good guy. And I’ve ended up with an educated thug.

Sade Adu

I don’t go to war for the adrenaline rush. I cover wars because that’s what I’ve ended up doing.

Tim Hetherington

There were no jobs created in America from 1945, when the war ended, through 2003. How could there be? Taxes were too high. Preposterously so under Eisenhower, Kennedy, Nixon, Reagan (who left office with a 28 percent rate on long-term capital gains) and Bush the Elder.

Andrew Tobias

I got into plays in high school then I ended up going to college for it.

Philip Seymour Hoffman

Memory, so complete and clear or so evasive, has to be ended, has to be put aside, as if one were leaving a chapel and bringing the prayer to an end in one’s head.

Harold Brodkey

If government wishes to see a depression ended as quickly as possible and the economy returned to normal prosperity, what course should it adopt? The first and clearest injunction is: Don’t interfere with the market’s adjustment process.

Murray Rothbard

On Sundays, we would travel to the town and watch English movies. This way, we must have ended up watching some 1,000 movies during college.

Shiv Nadar

I have ended as a Reform Rabbi, grateful to Christianity for so many good things.

Lionel Blue

I’m spoiled – in all ways. I’ve been in a rock ‘n’ roll band since I was 13, and we had incredible success. When it ended, it had been so good that I just looked at it as time to try something different.

Peter Noone

I remember driving the tractor on our farm, and Tim McGraw would be on the radio. I’d find myself walking out of class, singing his songs. And then Tim ended up playing my father in ‘Friday Night Lights.’ It was surreal.

Garrett Hedlund

I’ve said this before, but after ‘That ’70s Show’ ended, I solely wanted do films that inspire me, and to work with people who make me better. I wanted to just surround myself with people who I think are better than I am, whether they’re actors or directors or producers, so that I could learn from them.

Mila Kunis

Designer Marc Jacobs ended his sixteen-year tenure at Louis Vuitton with a spring 2014 collection that celebrated fashion in its purest and least complicated form – as majestic, superficial beauty.

Robin Givhan

In the 1950s, as food rationing ended, I remember a plentiful supply of sweets for the first time.

Robert Powell

As an actor, there are places you can live, and when I graduated from school, it was either New York or L.A., and I liked the East Coast. That’s why I ended up in New York.

Julianne Moore

It’s too bad that ‘Dragon Ball,’ which I drew for a very long time, has ended. Just kidding. I’m incredibly glad. Now I can just leisurely sit around!

Akira Toriyama

My husband saw me go through the 2008 campaign cycle. We did it together for Sarah Palin and John McCain. It ended disastrously, and afterward I really wanted to do something different, so I started writing novels, and I imagined a fictional female president in my head.

Nicolle Wallace

I’ve been incredibly lucky. I’ve worked in two iconic shows, ‘Carry On’ and ‘EastEnders.’ If it all ended tomorrow – and it could – I’d just be terribly grateful. I’ve been fortunate enough to do what I love and get paid for it.

Barbara Windsor

What we ended up with, from Bill Clinton onward, is a status quo party and an ‘undo the system’ party, where the Democrats became the status quo party and the Republicans became the ‘undo the system’ party.

Timothy D. Snyder

Living inside the shuttle was a little like camping out. We ended up sleeping in our seats. You had to pay attention to housekeeping, not get things too dirty.

Robert Crippen

In the wake of 9/11, my wife Trish and I were stranded on the East Coast. We had planned a vacation to Greece, but flights had been halted. Instead, we ended up on a tiny island off the coast of Georgia.

Brad Thor

I ended up gettin’ a little Gibson amp and a bass, because of Gene Simmons of Kiss. Myself and three other kids would pretend to be Kiss – I liked Gene the best.

Jason Newsted

I’m just a girl from Harlem who ended up in the right place at the right time.

Gabourey Sidibe

When I finished high school, I didn’t have much direction – I was a Deadhead kid who ended up bumming around London seeing a lot of theater. That’s where I saw the performance that made me want to act: Vanessa Redgrave doing ‘A Touch of the Poet.’

Elizabeth Marvel

I went from 250 to, like, 175 in three and a half, four months. And then I ended up graduating with honors. I went from a 2.4 to a 3.06 in a year. It’s funny how those two are related. I don’t want to say that if you lose weight, you’ll get smarter, but… well, it worked for me.

Jay Pharoah

I have a friend in New York who’s a stylist and I went over to her place because she’s got a lot of clothes. I basically ended up wearing most of it. So it’s all stuff that I brought over.

Famke Janssen

I don’t think I’ve ever put it in words before. But daddy took a gun and ended his life and took momma’s with him.

Shelby Lynne

When ‘Party of Five’ ended I believed we had run our course. I believed the basic ideal and premise of the show had been fulfilled.

Scott Wolf

His head was boiled, impaled upon a pole and raised above London Bridge. So ended the life of Thomas More, one of the few Londoners upon whom sainthood has been conferred and the first English layman to be beatified as a martyr.

Peter Ackroyd

I was born in Poland I came to Sweden when I was eight and always wanted to act and suddenly ended up in a Bond movie which was for me at that time absolutely enormous.

Izabella Scorupco

When I was young, I really wanted to be a part of the end-of-year awards shows, but now that I’m actually there, it feels weird. I used to go to church and ended the year with a prayer, but now I spend it with people I’m not very familiar with at an award show, and I wonder if it’s something I should be doing.

Park Bo-gum

After the atomic bombs were dropped, the war ended and we went into Tokyo Bay with the rest of the fleet, the Missouri and the rest of them, while they signed the terms of surrender that ended the war.

Barney Ross

Outside of the chair, the teapot is the most ubiquitous and important design element in the domestic environment and almost everyone who has tackled the world of design has ended up designing one.

David McFadden

Certainly, a lot of the films I’ve worked on have ended up good movies, but they haven’t always been the best experiences.

Frances McDormand

An awful lot of successful technology companies ended up being in a slightly different market than they started out in.

Marc Andreessen

My first architectural project I did, I must have been fifteen, was for neighbors across the street, a couple of school teachers, and I designed a house for them. I didn’t know anything about Le Corbusier or anything like that, but it ended up being a very cubistic kind of house. I always wanted to be an architect.

Emilio Ambasz

Right after 9/11, I mean, every agency can give their own gradation, but a nice, popular rule of thumb is everybody doubled down. I ended up in the NSA with about twice as much money as I had prior to 9/11.

Michael Hayden

Our coach was absolutely out of his head. He must have read Bear Bryant’s book. We had 78 players out. The first day 35 quit. Twenty quit the second day. We ended with 17 players. It was depressing.

Merlin Olsen

I ended up in the Army Air Corps in the Pacific, operating out of Ayuka field in Hawaii.

Louis Zamperini

Bill Goldberg kicked me in the head and ended my career because he didn’t know what he was doing.

Bret Hart

Like a lot of you, I grew up in a family on the ragged edges of the middle class. My daddy sold carpeting and ended up as a maintenance man. After he had a heart attack, my mom worked the phones at Sears so we could hang on to our house.

Elizabeth Warren

Right after Dynasty ended I had a facelift and laser surgery to get rid of lines around my eyes.

Linda Evans

I went to college for one semester, and I took every subject I could, and I ended up failing. So I thought to myself, Ever since I was a kid, I’ve loved expression – and that’s when I started thinking about acting.

Derek Luke

Had ‘Bridesmaids’ not ended up being so amazing and successful, we would never have been able to make ‘Bachelorette.’ So we are in awe of ‘Bridesmaids’ and totally owe them so much.

Lizzy Caplan

I am happy with the way I shot and ended my career.

Abhinav Bindra

You have to love what you do. And in order to do that, you have to search your soul to find out what it is that you really are about. And then when you find it, if you’re lucky enough to be in a position to do what it is that you love, it becomes easy. I’m blessed that I ended up doing exactly what I wanted to do.

Maceo Parker

U2 was involved in Live Aid, and I ended up going to Ethiopia and working there for some time with my wife, Ali.

Bono

The Tea Party grew out of indignation over the Wall Street bailout – an indignation shared by the vast majority of Americans. But the Tea Party ended up directing its ire at government rather than at big business and Wall Street.

Robert Reich

There was three or four years of my life where I hated myself and you know, would have quite happily ended it.

Daniel Johns

I really wanted to go onstage. Not movies. But I ended up under contract to Paramount. Now I adore film work.

Marion Ross

My younger brother ended up the British chess champion 10 times, a record.

Roger Penrose

I studied philosophy and ended on sociology. For some reason, all the advanced courses in philosophy were offered 4:30 to 6:30, so I could never go because of football, so I had to switch.

Lawrence Jackson

I ended up in Hampstead for two weeks after the Tour, visiting a hospital every day before my granddad died. But he was more than my granddad. He was like my father.

Bradley Wiggins

At some point I was hanging around with the Butchies – a band I ended up playing with a lot – and it just brought out this thing in me… and it felt very different from the Indigo Girls.

Amy Ray

I had short hair for a while, but I ended up loving it.

Tatyana Ali

I moved on to a nursing agency as a receptionist just to get a job, and ended up managing it, which led to me opening my own – say your mom is sick and needs someone to help her, then you call something like what I had: a home health agency.

Lee Daniels

It wasn’t until the first season ended that I went to my first Star Trek convention. It was in Denver. There were two and a half thousand people there.

Patrick Stewart

I’ll never forget the first screening at the Berlin Film Festival. As soon as the film ended there was an outbreak of booing, which made us look at each other with some surprise.

John Schlesinger

I was so naive in radio technique that I knew nothing about timing. I would write pages on Honus Wagner and then get only half through by the time the show ended. I eventually learned, but there was nobody there to school me.

Waite Hoyt

I did know Ted Hughes and I partly wrote the book to explain to myself and others the complexities of a marriage that was for six years wonderfully productive of poetry and then ended in tragedy.

Anne Stevenson

When I was studying photography, I became interested in conflict photojournalism, and that got me interested in lighting. Then I realized there was this amazing thing called cinematography where you could kind of tell more complete stories photographing for film. So I ended up going to AFI grad school for that.

Rachel Morrison

In 2008, I was in a London park when I came across a fledgling crow that had fallen from the top of an oak tree. A woman happened to be passing, and she said that she rescued animals, so she invited me back to her house. It turned out she was the wife of Jeff Beck. Jeff was there, and we ended up jamming together.

Imelda May

Indeed, if our ancestors of millions of years ago hadn’t learned how to care for one another and hunt in packs, they’d all have ended up being eaten by leopards.

Robert Shea

I would say I’ve actually done a lot more comedy than I’ve done drama. It’s weird the way that worked out, because when I came out of theater school I took myself way too seriously, so it’s kind of ironic that I ended up sort of going down the comedy path.

James Roday

I ended up breaking a bone in my foot early in my rookie season, and honestly, it was kind of a blessing. I had so much free time while being laid up that I put a lot of time in on film to understand the game from a different vantage point.

C. J. McCollum

Janeane Garofalo ended up, in a sense, being pushed by the media into becoming a pundit.

Lewis Black

I knew I needed surgery and I didn’t want to have it and I ended up having it.

Brett Favre

The childhood games ended for me when I was 14 and I finished school. I had to find a job, not an easy thing in those days.

Emil Zatopek

After the turmoil of the Second World War, my family ended up in Russian-occupied East Germany. When I attended fourth grade, I had to learn Russian as my first foreign language in school. I found this quite difficult because of the Cyrillic alphabet, but as time went on, I seemed to do all right.

Dieter F. Uchtdorf

The notion that aid can alleviate systemic poverty, and has done so, is a myth. Millions in Africa are poorer today because of aid; misery and poverty have not ended but increased. Aid has been, and continues to be, an unmitigated political, economic, and humanitarian disaster for most parts of the developing world.

Dambisa Moyo

With the counseling of my family doctor, my mother ended up turning to Weight Watchers and their children’s program. I went to weekly meetings, got counseling and would exercise with my peers who were my size. It was the first time I saw a proper children’s portion size, and it wasn’t two burgers, it was one.

Ginnifer Goodwin

I never did theater. I was a theater major at USC my first year because I didn’t get into the film school. I was biding my time, hoping to be accepted to film school, and I ended up transferring to UCLA my sophomore year.

Darren Star

I still don’t know precisely why The Mickey Mouse Club ended when it did.

Annette Funicello

So, you know, Nathaniel was my first child, born when I was 40, so, uh… And then in due course, he wanted a brother, and then I thought, ‘Oh, that’ll be bloody lucky!’ So, we ended up adopting a beautiful boy who was then five years old, from Ethiopia.

Geraldine Brooks

When I was 18 or 19, I realized that everything I was doing was connected to music – writing, doing videos, making my clothes. It all centered around being an artist. So I released a mixtape that I made in my bedroom, and it ended up getting a lot more attention than I expected.

Kali Uchis

My parents’ parents were regular working-class people. I ended up speaking in a certain way, and one gets sidelined into doing certain parts. I think that is really quite narrow-minded.

Toby Stephens

I kept saying that I’d never live in L.A., and I didn’t think I would. But that’s where the work is, and I ended up making a lot of friends there, and my old friends moved out to Los Angeles too. And also, I think when you’re famous, its hard to live in a small town.

John Cusack

Eurasia ended up with the most domesticated animal species in part because it’s the world’s largest land mass and offered the most wild species to begin with.

Jared Diamond

Because I was always a fat child, I got fatter and fatter, and I ended up 18 stone and with a 40-inch waist.

Rafe Spall

My uncle Lionel ended up being a bug guy at 20th Century Fox, which my father had been – and, of course, my cousin Randy – you know, one of the great American songwriters. It was a storied family and, in many ways, very tough to emerge from.

Thomas Newman

I’m not scared of seeing bugs, but I get really scared if they crawl on me. I’m also really bad at watching horror films. During my freshman year of high school, I was watching a horror movie with a guy and I ended up hugging him without realising it.

Jin

I ended up going to college for visual arts but moved up to New York after I graduated from college in 2006 and started going gung ho to the Upright Citizens Brigade, and I realized that that was what I was really interested in and what I really wanted to do.

Abbi Jacobson

Let there be an end to the arrogance of the big powers who miss no opportunity to put the rights of the people in question. Africa’s absence from the club of those who have the right to veto is unjust and should be ended.

Thomas Sankara

As soon as I ended up being incarcerated, I said, you know, this is not the life for me.

Mark Wahlberg

To make it more familiar to me, I ended up treating my swordplay scenes like choreography. So it was, ‘One and two and three and four and five, and turn and step and down and up and lunge.’

Catherine Zeta-Jones

When I was 18, I went to India and was stupid enough to drink the tap water. I ended up with dysentery. It’s not an experience I wish to go through again.

Tom Parker Bowles

Most of the films I’ve tried to make I’ve ended up making. And they don’t necessarily go in the order you want to do. So I haven’t got a huge list of undone films or stuff that’s just been abandoned forever.

David MacKenzie

I played with local bands and ended up touring with Scissor Sisters, Mylo, Alphabeat, and Calvin Harris. That somehow changed into DJ’ing.

Kristian Nairn

We ended up New Year’s Eve playin’ a show. My date had stood me up, and I remember walkin’ back to my friends with, like, two minutes before midnight and thinkin’, ‘I’m not gonna have anybody to kiss on New Year’s.’ And there she was, standin’ right there, and I remember kissin’ her, and then that was game over.

Zac Brown

Financially speaking, I haven’t ended my career in the best shape, and there are debts, as well as what is to come by way of a divorce settlement to Mandy.

Stephen Hendry

I felt that The Who had ended because we’d lost touch with our original Shepherd’s Bush audience.

Pete Townshend

I’ve been asked to do ‘I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here!’ and I do get asked to do all sorts of things like that – but I don’t want to put my career on hold. I’d have to take three weeks off to do something like that. Maybe it’s something I’d think about after it’s all ended.

Laura Trott

I wrote a script with my brother which ended up, somehow, on the Black List in 2008.

Kat Dennings

The thing is that quite a few of my books have ended up as they are because of conversations I’ve had over the years with forensic scientists.

Val McDermid

I ended up switching over to journalism in college. A few weeks into freshman year, I realized that business school wasn’t for me. And writing stories and reading and talking to people is something that I just enjoy doing, so I figured why not try to build up a post-basketball career with that.

C. J. McCollum

And, as an adult, I tried skiing, and I ended up in tears.

Sutton Foster

Without perestroika, the cold war simply would not have ended. But the world could not continue developing as it had, with the stark menace of nuclear war ever present.

Mikhail Gorbachev

I think, if I had a big flop, that probably it would have ended the string at Disney, but it didn’t! Every film was a success.

Dean Jones

I am a woman with chronic schizophrenia. I have spent hundreds of days in psychiatric hospitals. I could have ended up living most of my life on a back ward, but things turned out quite differently.

Elyn Saks

When I grew up, the thing boys would do during the summer is work tobacco because it was a cheap product back then. I didn’t want to do that. From an early, early, early age, I was like, ‘I like music. This performing thing comes easy.’ And perhaps that’s how I ended up doing what I’m doing today. Being a musician.

Maceo Parker

I just ended up focusing on film editing as I was getting my career started. I’m very passionate about editing and will continue to edit for the rest of my career, but it’s not like that was all I did and then somehow I grew into directing a movie.

Lee Unkrich

I remember doing a little student film where we had a guy that couldn’t pull focus. We ended up spending three times the amount of time shooting this thing as opposed to if the guy could’ve just pulled focus.

Stephen Amell

It is highly probable that in most cases, war could be avoided or ended. For discussions allow passion to subside, and to persuade alienated neighbors, or at least one of them, to listen to the voice of a conciliator is a step in the direction of peace.

Charles Albert Gobat

I’m a bit multifaceted in the sense that I’ve got many more than one musical taste. If you think about it, I started out playing in a punk band and ended up doing electro-pop. That was more an accident than a plan.

Alison Moyet

I had a very difficult relationship with my father, which ended up okay, but there were many difficult years.

Salman Rushdie

The two times I have cut my hair shorter, I’ve ended up out of work – so short hair is not an option.

Marie Helvin

I was 16 years old and wanted to help my mom with the rent. There was a restaurant called China Buffet in Tampa that hung a ‘Help Wanted’ sign outside, so I went in and ended up hosting every Friday and Sunday for $6 or $7 an hour.

Michelle Phan

A lot of people at Shearson ended up making a lot of money because they had stock or stock options. Their kids were able to go to college, and it changed a lot of people’s lives.

Sanford I. Weill

I had a dream that my dad passed away and that Jesus came into the room and he was basically knocking on my door, saying, ‘Hey, you need to find out more about me.’ So that Sunday morning I ended up going to church, and that’s when I got saved.

Russell Wilson

But thanks to the efforts, the initiative of the United States and of the several countries from the world, from Europe, including Turkey, it ended within a few weeks.

Bulent Ecevit

The debt ceiling at some point has to be raised. I don’t think there’s anybody that questions the fact that if we ended up getting in a situation where the U.S. government was sending out IOUs like the state of California did at one point, that ends up creating quite a brand problem for our country.

Bob Corker

I’ve ended up spending more time in front of a camera than on stage, but the stage is where I come from.

David Wenham

I didn’t appreciate how special and sometimes strange my CIA world was – until it suddenly and spectacularly ended in a newspaper column.

Valerie Plame

We have ended hunger, but now we have to end famine.

Atal Bihari Vajpayee

There was a very serious communist strain among American intellectuals before the war. America was a more tolerant place in those days, and Communists were not treated as pariahs. That ended with the McCarthy era.

Ken Follett

My parents were not perfect, but no one’s parents are. As childhoods go, mine was pretty comfortable and good in a lot of ways, and yet I still ended up with anxiety.

Scott Stossel

My dad was diagnosed with cancer, so we ended up burying him a year to the day that he was diagnosed.

Seann William Scott

I went to NYU thinking I was going to make a ‘Die Hard’ sequel, or maybe action and genre films for the studios, but I ended up falling in love with personal cinema.

Sean Baker

I think, from a really early age, I just wanted to be an actress. And I ended up doing comedy because it was the thing that kind of, like, came out of my nature the most easily. But, I’ve always wanted to do as many different kinds of performances – whatever I could.

Jenny Slate

I am not a pure fiction writer, nor am I an academic writer. Somehow I ended up in this blended area of literary journalism.

George Packer

The whole point of diaries is that other people find them and read what you’ve put. I did once take to writing my inner thoughts on the computer at the end of other things I was writing and ended up faxing four pages of hideous stuff to my accountant so I don’t do that now.

Helen Fielding

In the early 1990s, when a lot of the developing world opened up to international capital flows… they ended up in very good long-term projects, but projects that weren’t going to pay off for five or 10 or 20 years.

Jeffrey Sachs

In 1953, after the armistice ending the Korean War, South Korea lay in ruins. President Eisenhower was eager to put an end to hostilities that had left his predecessor deeply unpopular, and the war ended in an uneasy stalemate.

Noah Feldman

I started getting on my feet and clowning around, and they ended up putting me in a play when I was 12. And I was hooked.

Tim Robbins

I had this maroon ‘Lion King’ tracksuit that my mum couldn’t take off me. I wore it until the sleeves ended at my elbows and the trousers ended at my knees.

Oliver Jackson-Cohen

There were times after my marriage ended where, you know, I really felt like I was at the bottom of a mountain, there was a great big, fog up there, and I’m never going to cross to the other side.

Lynn Redgrave

I started at a very early age in this business and I’m sure most of you have read stories about people who have started as children and ended up in very difficult lives and bad consequences.

Dean Stockwell

I was a truant. And if you’re a truant in New York City, the truant officer gets after you, and then you get into the courts, and then things happen which they really shouldn’t. But I ended up in a very sweet reform school. It’s the place you go to if you’ve got a really kind judge.

David Carradine

I really felt that ‘Three’s Company’ was a gift. When it ended, I had money in the bank and had the luxury to pursue a life that meant something, to learn and discover.

Joyce DeWitt

The Internet was appealing partly because it was something I could do in bed and feel like I was achieving something. I had an operation when I was 13 and ended up with complications, so I was in and out of the hospital. The bottom line is you can get through health challenges. It’s part of why I was so driven.

Pete Cashmore

I’m still friendly with Dean. He still calls me on the phone from time to time. John Dean was fired and later ended up spending some time in prison for his role in Watergate.

Fred F. Fielding

Actually, I was born in Las Vegas. My parents moved to Utah when I was eight because, after 40 years in Vegas, they were tired of it. We ended up in Nephi, a really small town in Utah.

Brandon Flowers

The very rights that we supposedly won for African Americans in the civil rights movement no longer exist for those labeled felons. That’s why I say we have not ended racial caste in America; we’ve merely redesigned it.

Michelle Alexander

I am a zombie fan, but all of the zombie stories I’ve enjoyed started when the dead rose and ended three days later with everybody looking exhausted. I was thinking, ‘What happens in 20 years?’

Seanan McGuire

‘City of Fallen Angels’ ended on a cliffhanger. That was equally loved and hated by my readership.

Cassandra Clare

The Cat Dancer is a 30-inch piece of wire with some little cardboard cylinders on the end. My cats go crazy for it. I stuck it on the wall with the adhesive mount, but I ended up taking it off so I could hold it and play directly with my cats.

Mark Frauenfelder

In high school I had B’s and C’s, not too many A’s, but I must have done well on that medical school test, and I must have had some charisma in the interview, so I ended up in medicine. Being a general practitioner was all I aspired to.

Barry Marshall

The Eagles ended on a rather abrupt note, although in retrospect I realize now that it had been ending for quite some time.

Don Henley

Maybe I spent more time dwelling on emotions than some people, and maybe that’s why I ended up writing.

Iris Dement

My parents noticed my love for clothes and encouraged me to study design abroad. I decided to join the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York but never ended up there.

Naeem Khan

As a chess player I learn to adapt to new situations and always try to make the best move without looking back or asking why and how I ended up in a situation I ended up in.

Anish Giri

I would love to do films. It’s just the way things happened for me – I ended up doing a lot of TV.

Meaghan Rath

People aren’t really honest with themselves about anything. That’s one of the reasons why we ended up with Trump in the White House.

The-Dream

Once, I thought I had a novel, and it turned out it was only a short story. I wrote about 800 pages, but it ended up being a short story. And if it ever happens to me again, I Will Go Insane.

Richard Bausch

I was always interested in acting and writing, and I honestly thought I’d make my name as a scriptwriter one day. But somehow, I ended up in London in the early ’70s, and that’s where I had my David Bowie adventure.

Angela Bowie

There was expectations that the fights there, the operation there might be extended for several months, even for several years. But within a few weeks it ended, because obviously the Taliban wasn’t a real force.

Bulent Ecevit

I ended up meeting my manager because my sister was a receptionist at a management company. My manager is actually my same manager that I have today. That’s how it started. I worked my way.

Katie Cassidy

I didn’t go to classes there, but ended up at the Cinematheque, and there it opened up even wider because there I saw a variety of films from all over the world.

Jim Jarmusch

Mum is the girliest of them all, but she ended up with me, the tomboy.

Katarina Johnson-Thompson

Most of my world is in London, and I feel like this is where I went mad and ended up finding myself.

Aisling Bea

People ended up not thinking much of me. They saw me as a bit of a troublemaker. It’s important to change people’s impressions.

Diego Costa

Between 1945 and 1965, the number of colonial people ruled by the British monarch plunged from 700 million to five million. In 1956, just three years after the coronation, the Suez canal crisis and Anthony Eden’s humiliation ended all notions that Britain was a world superpower.

Kate Williams

I studied for my degree in London and consequently ended up spending five years away from Cornwall. I deliberately moved away from the coast to experience a different way of life.

John Dyer

I don’t know about you, but all this modern technology that’s supposed to save us time and effort has actually ended up making things more complicated in my life, eating up extra time.

Dean Karnazes

Capitalism has its weaknesses. But it is capitalism that ended the stranglehold of the hereditary aristocracies, raised the standard of living for most of the world and enabled the emancipation of women.

Camille Paglia

No ideology better understands the need for enemies than neoconservatism, and when the cold war dramatically and unexpectedly ended, the way was prepared for the ‘Arab threat’ to emerge. ‘True Lies,’ the 1994 James Cameron comedy thriller starring Arnold Schwarzenegger, duly served up the Arab villain Salim Abu Aziz.

Mark Fisher

I never thought I’d end up doing comedy, but actually, it’s been something I’ve really relished the challenge of and ended up doing quite a bit of.

Emily Berrington

It’s a real gift to work with my sister. We obviously have such a shorthand communicating with each other that it makes the process easier. And from growing up together and watching so many films together, we ended up with pretty similar taste.

Jennifer Todd

No graduation speaker will ever tell you that the future is anything but uncertain. It never is. But graduations need not only be obsessed with looking ahead; a graduation can be a day on which we turn back and trace our steps to see how we ended up where we are.

Taylor Mali

One of the great things that I loved about doing solo – which I ended up doing because I was too shy to ever try out for bands back in the day – I could sit there with a list of songs and ‘paint away’ for the show.

Patty Griffin

I feel secure in my life, and I’m happy with where I’m at. I realise in some ways how enchanted my life’s been. I could have ended up on a bench outside Stoke station begging for money. I was one of the lucky ones.

Neil Morrissey

I ended up being a businessman unwittingly. I wanted to be an academic; I wanted to be like Einstein.

Mo Ibrahim

I just have a lot of respect for Terry and his family. He played without a mask, and his life was tragically ended. And it just means a lot to me to be up there with him and the other greats that have played that long.

Ed Belfour

Reconciliations are for after the violence has ended.

N. K. Jemisin

There was this moment when we made ‘Superunknown’: the Seattle music scene had suddenly ended up on an international stage with huge success.

Chris Cornell

There was a period of time when I couldn’t seem to get anything. I was on the series ‘Daniel Boone,’ and then, when that ended, I was still under 18, so I was too young to be in the older category and too old to be a child. So there was a few years there that were dry.

Veronica Cartwright

Once the Supreme Court in 1973 decided that infanticide could be legal, it not only ended America’s ‘inalienable right to life,’ it threw the Golden Rule right off the shores of this continent.

Michael Moriarty

I feel that contemporary music, with very few exceptions, is missing the voice. You see an award show, you see a hundred extras on set dancing and special effects, and you don’t see that solo voice that was the trademark of Adele. It’s no accident that it was her album that ended up selling 27 million copies worldwide.

Clive Davis

According to my parents, I was supposed to have been a nice, churchgoing Swiss housewife. Instead I ended up an opinionated psychiatrist, author and lecturer in the American Southwest, who communicates with spirits from a world that I believe is far more loving and glorious than our own.

Elisabeth Kubler-Ross

A record company used to be a very good thing, but they ended up soul-destroyingly trapping people in the accounting department. And you couldn’t get any further, and the heads of each department were changing all the time, so you couldn’t have any permanent relationship within the corporation.

John Lydon

Football was really my least favorite sport and the last sport that I ended up picking up as a kid. My dad started me off with baseball, which most kids did at that time. I really enjoyed basketball. That was my favorite sport.

Tony Dungy

The owners said that they wanted the salary cap and refused to promise that they would abide by the rules of the just-expired contract after the season ended. Believing we had no choice, the players went on strike in August of 1994.

David Cone

Believe it or not, I loved my Jheri curl and thought it was beautiful on me. It actually made my hair grow like crazy. What they didn’t tell you back then was that once you get the Jheri curl, there’s no way of getting rid of it, so when I was over it, I ended up having to cut off all my hair and start all over again.

Kimberly Elise

We don’t consider the battle has ended in Afghanistan… The battle has begun and its fires are picking up. These fires will reach the White House, because it is the center of injustice and tyranny.

Mohammed Omar

I learned to draw everything except glamorous women. No matter how much I tried to make them look sexy, they always ended up looking silly… or like somebody’s mother.

Norman Rockwell

I had a very ordinary background in Sheffield; I went to a secondary modern, but I saw something on TV in 1968 that inspired me to join an athletics club, and 12 years later, with great coaching and the support of people who loved me a lot, I ended up at an Olympic Games.

Sebastian Coe

Prior to working for Fox, I worked for ABC and NBC, spent a lot of time at CNN, and almost ended up at CBS. I worked for a bunch of local stations in Los Angeles and had a talk-radio show at KABC for six years. In other words, I’m fortunate enough to have been around, and Fox News is the best place I’ve ever worked.

Susan Estrich

I was pretty much seen as a basketball player coming out of high school. Football was my second love, but luckily, I turned out to be pretty good. Something just drew me to football; besides, I ended up being too short for my position in basketball.

Justin Tuck

Every animated film that I’ve worked on – whether it was as a story artist or as Head of Story or even as director – where we originally started out with our story and where we eventually ended up were often very different places.

Kelly Asbury

There was one film that I really wanted. This was a long time ago; it was a film called ‘Fracture.’ Ryan Gosling ended up doing it with Anthony Hopkins. It wasn’t a giant box-office success, but I really enjoyed the script, and I enjoyed the character. I got pretty close and was kind of disappointed it didn’t go my way.

Chris Evans

When we started Aftermath, we had something like 20 artists, and it was driving me crazy. I couldn’t sit down and focus on any of it. Plus, it was doubly hard because you ended up crushing these people’s dreams when you had to let them go.

Dr. Dre

I ended up dropping out of high school at 16 and getting kicked out of my home. My parents told me, sadly, that because I was so disruptive to the rest of the household, that I could no longer live under their roof.

Tullian Tchividjian

World War II ended the Great Depression with one of the great public-private industrial collaborations in the history of man.

Jon Meacham

Early in my career, I didn’t want to disappoint my colleagues, clients, or family. So I said yes to everything. This ended up raising my stress level and shortchanging everyone else – including myself – because I couldn’t give anyone 100 percent of my time, nor could I pay close attention.

John Rampton

I had my appendix removed in my 20s. I was in the middle of a play with Helen Mirren at the Royal Court Theatre, a fabulous career break. Then two weeks in I began suffering the most horrendous pain and had to pull out. Sadly, by the time I’d recovered, the show’s run had ended.

Cherie Lunghi

Jim played – he had a great stretch in the middle of the round there, and Chad made that long putt on 16. Almost got that match. We ended up losing, but we almost won it, too.

Hal Sutton

When the Taliban was ruling Afghanistan, women were not allowed to go to school, to work, or even leave the house without a male chaperone. The greatest moment was when that ended.

Sonita Alizadeh

My teenage years were spent trying to look like Rod Stewart – I ended up looking like Dave Hill from Slade.

Tony Parsons

Passing on a full scholarship to MIT would be irrational for me, but to my father and his parents, what would have been the point of spending five years at one of the world’s most prestigious universities if he just ended up back on the farm?

Vivienne Ming

The last TV show I really indulged in was ‘Breaking Bad,’ and I was in such a state of mourning when it ended. I’ve got to choose my next one carefully.

Tom Ellis

I remember in 1968 when we were in Cannes, in the festival, and we were supposed to be there 10 days, and the second day the festival collapsed because the French, you know, film-makers raised the red flag in the festival and ended the festival.

Milos Forman

After I broke my leg I had to go back and do one of the remakes of ‘The Magnificent Seven’ and ended up on a horse that pitched me off and broke my leg again… I rode horses pretty well. I just didn’t like doing it.

William Lucking

I didn’t really know you could make a living in songwriting. I was just very fortunate to have the opportunity to play a few songs for a guy there named Jimmy Ritchey. Through that meeting, I met another couple guys and ended up getting a publishing deal in Nashville.

Sam Hunt

I cried every day of first grade. In class. Which meant I ended up getting comfortable emoting in a place where it wasn’t the norm.

Jesse Eisenberg

I grew up in Memphis, Tennessee, born and raised. It was hard. I stayed with my momma, then I ended up moving with my daddy.

Tay Keith

Kids who I grew up with, who I played ball with, basketball, baseball, and went to parties with – for whatever reason – they ended up in a fundamentally different place than I did. I’m the attorney general of the United States and they are ex-felons.

Eric Holder

The idea of not being able to control my own fertility genuinely terrifies me. That one mistake might change your life. That everything I am, and do, could be ended by the repeal of laws our mothers fought so hard for, that women had waited for the entire span of humanity to come about.

Caitlin Moran

The company, Tiffany Studios, ended up in bankruptcy in 1930 – early ’30s.

Susan Vreeland

I can’t say it was challenging for me to shake the image of Frasier. I’ve been fortunate to have had a very interesting career since the series ended. I think the turning point for me was the show, ‘Boss.’

Kelsey Grammer

To be fair to the Inquisition, they only used confessions extracted after the torture had ended, which let them claim that admissions had been freely given; the fact that the torture would have started again if they hadn’t confessed was a minor detail.

Simon Hoggart

I ended up in Broadmeadows orphanage – I don’t know how that happened – whether she gave me up for adoption or the church was responsible. Whatever happened, she was a single mum.

Kerry Stokes

Well the way I ended up with my own record is that I did this concert at Wesleyan University. It was just one night and we had no thought of making a record.

Christine Lavin

During ‘Saturday Night Fever’ at the end of the first act dance number I tried to perform a split-jump, only I can’t do them so I ended up on my ass followed by the most unsightly backward roll out of it, followed by the cast falling over in laughter and a good portion of the audience too.

Adam Garcia

I was selected to be an astronaut on a military program called the Manned Orbiting Laboratory back in ’67. That program got cancelled in ’69 and NASA ended up taking half of us.

Robert Crippen

For me, ‘Lamb’ started out as a further exploration of the phenomenon of faith and the responsibility of a messiah that I touched on in ‘Coyote Blue’ and ‘Island of the Sequined Love Nun,’ but it ended up being an exploration of the true meaning of sacrifice, loyalty, and friendship.

Christopher Moore

There was a bidding war between Epic Records and Jive – now RCA – which was bittersweet. Just having labels bid over me was really cool, but I ended up going with Jive because it felt better over there, and they have my favorite artists like Usher, Chris Brown, and Justin Timberlake.

Jacob Latimore

When I tried to play characters that strayed from who I am it ended in disaster. People didn’t expect me in comedies or musicals.

Sylvester Stallone

Of course, tax revenues have ended up being substantially higher than they were at the time these dire projections were made, and we are very close now to having a balanced budget. All that has been very helpful.

Charles Vest

I hated the idea that I would be like my father. Which is one of the reasons I decided I didn’t want to be a writer and wanted to be an actor instead. I wanted to go in a total different direction. But, of course, I ended up being a writer anyway.

Loudon Wainwright III

It was a culture shock at first, moving from Michigan to Mississippi. But it ended up being the best decision I ever made.

Devin Booker

The real reason we ended up getting into that type of music was our dad worked for an oil company so we spent a year overseas when we were young kids. Because of that, it was all Spanish TV and radio so we ended up having these ’50s and ’60s tapes, tapes of that music.

Zac Hanson

The acceptance of the facts of African-American history and the African-American historian as a legitimate part of the academic community did not come easily. Slavery ended and left its false images of black people intact.

John Henrik Clarke

The issue of Palestine has been there since more than 60 years. But more important since 1967 when the war was, ended in the defeat of some Arab countries.

Al-Waleed bin Talal

There was a period after my first solo album came out that about 50 per cent of my work was with symphonies and big bands. We did the Captain and Tennille as well, but it ended up being about 50-50.

Toni Tennille

And the sad truth is that nobody wants me to write comedy. The Exorcist not only ended that career, it expunged all memory of its existence.

William Peter Blatty

Bonobo studies started in the ’70s and came to fruition in the ’80s. Then in the ’90s, all of a sudden, boom, they ended because of the warfare in the Congo. It was really bad for the bonobo and ironic that people with their warfare were preventing us from studying the hippies of the primate world.

Frans de Waal

I think it’s important to have closure in any relationship that ends – from a romantic relationship to a friendship. You should always have a sense of clarity at the end and know why it began and why it ended. You need that in your life to move cleanly into your next phase.

Jennifer Aniston

Harrison Ford was pretty content as a carpenter who thought it would be nice to work on TV and ended up being the biggest film star in the history of cinema.

Dirk Benedict

In the mid-1970s, there was this huge boom of stand-up comedy throughout North America. I went to see a show at a club called Yuk-Yuks, in Toronto, and I was just fascinated. I ended up coming back for amateur hour on a Monday at midnight and got up there without any thought as to what might come of it.

Howie Mandel

Ultimately, all human activities have as their goal the realization of happiness. Why, then, have we ended up producing the opposite result? Could the underlying cause be our failure to correctly understand the true nature of happiness?

Daisaku Ikeda

A date once leaned in to kiss me, and he ended up kissing my cheek. He was a little offended, but I didn’t want to kiss him just to not hurt his feelings.

Denise Richards

My search for ways to improve my touch has never ended. We players tried a lot of different things and compared notes. Little fads would set in.

Arnold Palmer

Yeah, I have the detail-obsessed, controlling personality of a novelist, but I somehow ended up writing plays.

Annie Baker

I ended up becoming so self-conscious that my songs stopped being about my life and started being about what people thought of my music. And that was really bad.

Liz Phair

There was a cute girl on the crew that I was trying to impress during a very elaborate stunt. I winked at her and, when I started running, proceeded to lose my balance, fall, banged my knee, and ended up sprawled out 12 feet in the air.

Simu Liu

A lot of things I have turned down ended up being a big embarrassment. Like that script, ‘The Beaver.’ I thought that was one of the worst scripts I had ever read. But everyone said, ‘Ooh it’s on the Black List.’ Yeah, well, good for it. They’re a bunch of idiots. I saw the final film, and there were no surprises.

Terry Zwigoff

There is a painful joke that Europeans often tell of their Gallic neighbors: God created France, the most beautiful country in the world with so much good in it, and ended up feeling guilty about it. He had to do something to make it fair. And so, he created the French people.

Janine di Giovanni

We’ve had really good mainstream publicity for these books and both Wanted and Chosen were snapped up as movie deals before each series even ended so I’m honestly just pinching myself.

Mark Millar

Before high school ended, I started applying to college. It really wasn’t even a choice because of the brainwashing of my parents.

Tatyana Ali

My singing really seemed to connect with people, and it ended up as my main career, which I love.

Mayer Hawthorne

Those three years ended with June 1933. At that time I left Princeton, having submitted my Ph.D. thesis.

Stephen Cole Kleene

At Plymouth I wrote ‘Neil Warnock’s Wembley Way’, a one-year diary, to show people what being a manager was like. I got lucky as the year ended with us winning promotion through the play-offs at Wembley.

Neil Warnock

A sudden dart when a little over a hundred feet from the end of the track, or a little over 120 feet from the point at which it rose into the air, ended the flight.

Orville Wright

I grew up in England, went to a nice public school, then didn’t want to go to university, so I thought I would wander around. I did a season skiing, a bit of sailing, typical spoilt brat stuff. I ended up in the Caribbean. I was having a blast.

Marc Koska

I would be sad if it ended now. It’s been the best job I’ve had by a long shot, especially creatively because the writing is so good. Every week I get the script and I laugh out loud and get excited for the different stuff we get to do.

Sarah Chalke

All my books started out as extravagant and ended up pure and plain.

Annie Dillard

In 1969, ‘Life’ magazine came up to me and said they wanted to do a little story on the Hobie, and I ended up getting a six-page spread. I remember Robert Redford was on the cover, and when that magazine hit the stands, it was a whole new ballgame.

Hobart Alter

There’s one of my new poems actually – is a good example of where my poetry has ended up. My earlier river poetry was more like a cross between Shelley and Dylan Thomas.

Robert Adamson

I ended up wanting to be a cook and hold my own in a restaurant.

Bill Buford

I was looking very much for a career. My second marriage to Stan Herman had ended, and I wanted very much to be independent, not take alimony from him, be on my own, do the right thing.

Linda Evans

I ended up being exposed to cinema that a lot of other kids wouldn’t have been exposed to.

Lee Unkrich

My childhood ended in this horrible way. I lived in a country where I didn’t trust anybody.

Aminatta Forna

‘Hairspray’ was my first Broadway show. In the meantime, after the show was over, I would go down and do gigs at these clubs that I wasn’t even old enough to get into. That continued on, and I think what ended up happening was that I just got these incredible opportunities on Broadway.

Laura Bell Bundy

I did not think that I was angry, but clearly anger was reflected in my writing. I did not think that I had been affected emotionally, but it was clear from my writing that I was still very emotional about the trial some six months after it ended.

Christopher Darden

I think I ended up on ‘People’s ’50 Most Beautiful People’ list just because of eyeliner, which is kind of a bummer. But if you do find the right color, it will make your eyes pop.

Pete Wentz

My 21st birthday was awesome. I was in L.A., and it was great. I had a bunch of friends that came out. The night ended up in a completely different direction than we thought it was going to go.

Jonathan Keltz

I’m surprised as anyone about where I’ve ended up. Maybe it’s because I say yes to things.

Waris Ahluwalia

It’s been interesting for me because when I served in government before, I served in the White House. This time, I ended up serving in an agency, and it just made me respect and admire how much happens and that happens every day with people who don’t even know all the work that’s going on.

Cheryl Mills

I had admired the way the producers of the ‘Harry Potter’ franchise had found David Yates, who ended up doing their four final movies, and he’d come from television.

Kevin Feige

But I certainly made mistakes, for which I regret, I think most human beings in their lifetime make mistakes, mine ended up in two years prison – two very remarkable years from which I learnt a lot.

But after a few good teachers and a lot of perseverance, I ended up loving math and even choosing it as a major when I got to college.

Danica McKellar

I don’t think I wrote my first song until I was 25. And then everything I wrote ended up becoming my first album. I put my music online, and from that, things just happened.

Perfume Genius

I always imagined a writer was someone who lived in an attic in Paris, but my mum instilled in me a belief that I could do anything – so I ended up writing my first novel while working nights as a news reporter.

Jojo Moyes

Hedi was and is still misspelled ‘Heidi,’ and my perception of genders ended up slightly out of focus from an early age.

Hedi Slimane

I think I definitely would have ended up in some kind of show business. I was very interested in music when I was younger. This was back when Crosby, Stills and Nash were around.

Kevin Nealon

I had no interest in filming. I sometimes went to the studios with my dad, but it was slow-going; it was boring to watch. I always ended up in the rehearsal hall watching the dancing. That’s what I liked to do.

Liza Minnelli

I didn’t grow up in a regular upbringing. I ended up at my grandmother’s house past a certain age, so I took care of things myself. I moved out of home when I was 16.

If the movie had ended in Hollywood fashion, the Copenhagen climate conference in 2009 would have marked the culmination of the global fight to slow a changing climate.

Bill McKibben

That’s not to say Eddie’s never done anything malicious. But he never grabbed power for power’s sake. His position was gained only because he has that energy, and that’s naturally where he ended up.

Stone Gossard

And you know, we did it as an independent film, and we weren’t expecting it to be on television, and Lifetime ended up buying it. And the viewers responded intensely to that film.

Jenna Elfman

All the politics of the post-war period was about the clash between the Soviet Union and America, and virtually all issues ended up being subordinated to that. Now, the question is, what is the most a socialist can achieve in a global economy?

Louis Tomlinson

I went to Northwestern in Chicago, in Evanston, and then I ended up trickling down in Chicago theater. I did a bunch of plays, but I was non-equity. For a lot of people, non-equity means you’re not yet professional. But for me, if you’re in a mainstream theater, you’re doing something real.

Denis O’Hare

My mom, well, she’s half Greek, half German-Italian; born in England. She’s just a nomad. She loves Middle Eastern style, Indian style, so much so that she ended up having Indian babies.

Hannah Simone

My family wasn’t particularly political. Mom and Dad voted, but that was the extent of their involvement. In fact, I ended up going to U.C. Davis because, to them, Berkeley was too radical.

Jackie Speier

I grew up in a family that nearly lost everything, but I ended up in the United States Senate because I grew up in an America that invested in kids like me and built a real future for us.

Elizabeth Warren

I’m the person that I always was, but in terms of how I approach my living, I’m not the same person at all. At all. I’ve buried a child, I’ve ended a marriage, and the grandson that I was raising is now grown. My family has totally shifted.

Iyanla Vanzant

The Tea Party ended up being a shill for corporate America.

E-40

I ended up living at OJ’s because Nicole bought a home that no longer had a guest house. OJ offered his guest house to me. Anybody in LA looking for a place knows the best places to live are guest houses.

David Lambert

The United States came within a whisker of invading Utah in 1858 and starting a civil war three years before the Civil War. Because the conflict ended up fizzling out, it’s not the most dramatic story about the West.

David Roberts

What wouldn’t have happened to me if I hadn’t ended up in Hartford, Connecticut.

Evan Davis

I was never a joiner. I tried – I had people I admired and liked and wanted to hang with, but I ended up starting a theatre company and that took me back to Chicago… I guess I wasn’t a scenester in the end. Something must have worked out right, as I’m still here – but I’m only a binge socialite.

Tom Glavine

I lived in London for a long time, and that’s a pretty white town.

Bryan Lee O’Malley

When I was 12, all I wanted for Christmas was a trampoline or a four-wheeler. I ended up getting both presents for Christmas.

Chris Brown

I got married and had a baby, so I was doing the mummy thing. I got hyperemesis and was only supposed to go away for maternity leave, but then it ended up being three or four years, and by that time, it was hard to get back into the music world, so when Drake called, it was the perfect opportunity.

Kyla Reid

I won a silver medal. But really, I ended up running the fastest race of my life to become part of something that transcended the Games.

Oscar Isaac

When WWII ended, the Cold War started, and the interest of the Western world was not to completely break Germany. So all those Nazis who had been controlling the country now had the power to rebuild it. I think there were many of them who just continued their life in society; it’s a very known fact.

Arnon Goldfinger

I ended up getting drafted by the Colorado Rockies on June 8, 2010 and the next day, my dad passed away, in June 9, 2010. So I’m at the biggest high of my life on June 8th. And the next day, June 9th, he’s gone.

Jason Statham

Prior to ‘The Shield,’ basic cable was just a wasteland of reruns and NASCAR. When we came along, I think there was a collective, ‘Hey, if they can do that, why can’t we?’ from the basic-cable networks of the world. We ended up being the cornerstone for a network, and a great one.

Michael Chiklis

Well, I don’t throw things. This particular night I brought one from the floor so to speak, and he ended up getting a cut over his head, and the police came, took him to another side of the hotel, and that was like September 6, 1981.

Tanya Tucker

If I hadn’t done this I might have ended up digging the roads.

Dylan Moran

James Balog

I think the thrust of any child is to try to fit in and be part of it. And I can’t tell you how many times my humor, you know, what I thought was humor ended up making me the outsider. Like I’d be, I go, ‘It’s a joke.’ And they’d go, ‘Well, what was funny?’ And they just thought I was insane.

Howie Mandel

I don’t want the sort of funeral that everybody else has, but there is one hymn, a good Protestant hymn, and it is sung at all Protestant funerals, and I think I should have it sung at mine. It is called ‘The Day Thou Gave Us Lord is Ended’.

I’ve also read some mediocre scripts that have ended up being amazing, and I credit that to the directors. They’re the storytellers. If you don’t have a good storyteller, you really have nothing.

Chris Evans

The good ended happily, and the bad unhappily. That is what fiction means.
