My mom always told me to follow my bliss. And I remember specifically with my father, when I was out of school and not knowing how I’d get a job or make money – should I take some classes? What do I do? He said as long as I was working – to enrich myself in some way – that I was on the right path.

I believe writers need to be chameleons, or like Meryl Streep, who can play all sorts of characters. A good writer should be able to cross gender lines and people of all social classes. So for me, writing from a male point of view would be a great challenge, that I would look forward to taking on.

Marisha Pessl

It took me forever, learning improvisation, because I had studied with Lee Strasberg – I dropped out of Chicago and went to his classes in New York for a couple of years, once or twice a week. What I didn’t realize was I was learning directing because he wasn’t all that good about acting, not for me.

Robert Sternberg

I entered this glam world by luck. I wanted to join dancing classes since I was a child, but my parents never gave me the permission to do so, as no one in our family had ever chosen this path. Fortunately, I got my first break in a reality show easily due to my dance skills, so that way I have been lucky.

I had never taken creative writing classes. Hadn’t even considered it.

When I went to college, it was so easy. And I worked two jobs while I was in school all the way through; I put myself through school.

Bobby Bones

Right after high school, I moved to Rio and took classes to become a technician for a manufacturing factory where you had to figure out how to produce 3,000 pairs of jeans. But in Rio, I was by myself, which was very liberating, being so young. I got to do my own thing.

Yvonne Strahovski

At Hofstra, I got a very well rounded education. I studied acting, but they wouldn’t let me just study acting. I had to take classes in play analysis, directing, producing. I had no idea this would ever be relevant. And, of course, it’s what I used the rest of my life.

Philip Rosenthal

When I first broke into the acting industry, I taught spinning classes to support myself.

I teach classes 28 weeks of the year, but the rest of the time I do research and write books.

Mohsin Hamid

Classes struggle, some classes triumph, others are eliminated. Such is history; such is the history of civilization for thousands of years.

Isabel Lucas

My parents thought if they put me in drama classes, I might come out of my shell. It worked, and I’ve acted ever since.

The very success of the modern American family – where kids get punctually to SAT-tutoring classes, the mortgage gets paid, the second-story remodel stays on budget – surely depends on spouses’ not being in love.

Vanessa Hudgens

Rainer Maria Rilke

I love the way people dress at the races. I love people dressed to the nines during the day. That formal kind of daywear doesn’t really exist anymore except at the races. Also I love the tuffs and the working classes being so hand in glove and relying on each other to make the thing happen.

Bella Freud

I’ve been pioneering for this sport since before there was weight classes and gloves.

Each of our children during their high school years went to ‘early morning seminary’ – scripture study classes that met in the home of a church member every school day morning from 6:30 until 7:15.

Clayton M. Christensen

I’m crazy lucky. I was trying to be a filmmaker. I was doing Second City classes as a way to be creative. I was a PA for a long time. I was working as an assistant editor on ‘Iron Chef America’ when I got ‘SNL.’ It was one of those situations where you’re concentrating in one thing and the peripheral thing popped.

Bill Hader

I sat in on some songwriting classes, and it was really bloody hard, a lot of music theory.

Jimmy Barnes

I’ve had probably way too many acting classes, and you try to sort of shed – I think over a period of time, you’ll shed what doesn’t stick with you, and you’ll hang onto those things that do.

Thomas Gibson

Donald Trump has stunned the political world by building an unlikely coalition that crosses all demographic boundaries of age, sex, race, religion and social classes, and all party lines.

Jerry Falwell, Jr.

If the public can’t see justice being done, or afford the costs of justice, then the entire system becomes little more than a cozy club solely for the benefit of judges, lawyers and their lackeys, a sort of care in the community for the upper middle classes.

Heather Brooke

College, for me, was more about wrestling than actually going to classes.

Jon Jones

When I was 4, my parents took me to see a musical, and I was like, ‘I want to do that!’ I started doing all sorts of musical camps and a lot of professional theater.

Aubrey Peeples

Children should be taught in school that you should have all kinds of asset classes in your portfolio. They should be taught what those asset classes are, and their advantages and disadvantages.

Lance Stroll

The want of education and moral training is the only real barrier that exists between the different classes of men.

Susanna Moodie

In college, I was failing almost every class I was taking my freshman year. I was having difficulty in managing my time; I was just overwhelmed. Even though I knew I was smart and knew I was good enough, at that point, I doubted all of it because I struggled to handle my sport, classes and social life all at once.

Jessica Mendoza

Cricket keeps me away from classes, and home, for long periods at a time. But talking to friends and family helps, it is a sacrifice I have to make, because I love cricket.

Stuart Binny

I started classes and it wasn’t because I was like, ‘I want to be an actor!’ – I was really interested in the theory of what acting can be and what it’s about. It’s all about living in the moment and kind of being present, which is something that at that time in my life I really wanted to explore.

Caity Lotz

I can set up shop anywhere. I’ve got my oils, I’ve got my yoga mat and I’m good to go. I must know good yoga classes in about 25 cities on this planet.

Minnie Driver

In many college classes, laptops depict split screens – notes from a class, and then a range of parallel stimulants: NBA playoff statistics on ESPN.com, a flight home on Expedia, a new flirtation on Facebook.

Samantha Power

You see, dancers are quite mature people because they start performing so early. They become professionals when they start to take everyday classes.

Mikhail Baryshnikov

I took karate classes for a few years. Taekwondo. I’d love to do a movie role where I could do some karate.

Heather Graham

Adepero Oduye

My parents always stressed finding some sort of creative outlet, so they would take me to dance classes, take me to jazz clubs.

Iggy Azalea

I feel like if they added a few weight classes it wouldn’t change up the dynamics of the sport. You can still have champions and it wouldn’t be like boxing. Boxing got messed up, because they’ve got so many belts, so many unifications. It’s crazy.

Jorge Masvidal

You know how when you get older you actually want to learn? When I went to college, I wasn’t as interested in the art history classes as I am now.

Abbi Jacobson

I dropped out of school and I never took acting classes.

Alice Englert

I love salsa. I use to take salsa classes when I was a little girl with my mom.

Anitta

My best moment in the UFC, I guess now that I look back, I guess my biggest accomplishment is the two belts in two weight classes. I really wanted to see if I could make it three, but you know, you’re talking about the best guys in the world.

B. J. Penn

Mum put me in drama classes when I was about 14. I’d been going on about it for some time, so maybe it was a way to shut me up.

Naomi Watts

In the ring, you’re constantly working out and honing your craft, and you’re doing the same thing with acting, too – taking classes and working with vocal coaches.

Marilu Henner

The working classes were becoming more and more sharply aware of the complex causes of international malaise.

Leon Jouhaux

I was always drawn to performing. I took improv and acting classes during the summers and was involved in middle and high school plays. But when I discovered indie and punk music in high school, those things sort of took over.

Carrie Brownstein

At Temple University, and I’m sure this was the way in a lot of film classes, comedy was not an option, and not considered a serious form of expression. You had to make a film about an issue.

Tim Heidecker

I was married to a law student, and I used to attend classes with him at Georgetown University Law Center. Being of dramatic bent, I was drawn mainly to Criminal law and Evidence classes. A just-beginning writer, I would find an empty chair and listen, mesmerized, to the lectures.

Luanne Rice

Most students who take math classes aren’t going to be mathematicians. They’re going to be engineers, statisticians – in many ways, that’s the more important mission of math education.

Terence Tao

My dad signed me up for some acting classes at a place in Honolulu, and there I got to audition for some L.A.-based talent agents. I got a few ‘callbacks’ and so my mom and I decided to fly to California and check it out!

Maxim Knight

When I was in college, I would go out, and I would go to these open mic nights at Stitches and Nick’s Comedy Stop, so I was going to classes during the day, and then at night, I would be signing up on the lists.

Greg Fitzsimmons

I do a lot of dance classes in my spare time. I’m a dancer at heart.

Madelaine Petsch

Marriage is good enough for the lower classes: they have facilities for desertion that are denied to us.

George Bernard Shaw

There will soon come an armed contest between capital and labor. They will oppose each other, not with words and arguments, but with shot and shell, gun-powder and cannon. The better classes are tired of the insane howling of the lower strata and they mean to stop them.

William Tecumseh Sherman

Some of the people I’ve met in those first few weeks of even trying improv classes are still my friends now – 15, 17 years later.

Lauren Ash

I love puppies, and I love animals in general. Besides that, I do martial arts: extreme martial arts. I also play real guitar and drums, and sing. And I’m taking some college classes, hoping to major in English and creative writing.

Cameron Monaghan

I took physics, and lo and behold, there’s a lot of physics in ‘Lost.’ I think for most people, liberal arts educations are more abstract, but for me, it’s been a chance to apply the things I’ve learned more directly. I also took some Folklore and Mythology classes, and I think that a lot of that influenced me.

Carlton Cuse

I’ve been enjoying classes at the gym, where people look at me because I’m fat. At the end of the workout, they’re sucking air and I’ve beaten them because I have more heart, because I had it much harder.

Ralphie May

Growing up as a kid, I took creative writing classes, and I was always into poetry.

Ivan Moody

I was never ignorant, as far as being experienced in classrooms and learning about different subjects and actually soaking it up, so I checked into college for a little bit. I took classes at a community college in West L.A. I took psychology, English, and philosophy.

Nipsey Hussle

I’d love to learn to cook. I think the ladies like a guy who can cook. Also, there are lots of available ladies at cooking classes. Can you tell I’m single?

Will Estes

I’m Muslim but not really. My family did not care. And I always managed to skip religion classes when I was living in the Gulf, even when they were obligatory.

Yasmine Hamdan

I went on a few auditions for Broadway musicals, and never stopped taking classes, but I didn’t take it seriously until I was out of college.

Brendan Dooling

I’ve always really liked being active. I do Spinning classes, I run, I have a trainer, I do Pilates with my sister Shade.

Lauren Graham

My whole life, I wanted to be a fighter pilot; it’s what I wanted to do. I set up all of my classes for it, but I got lazy my senior year in high school and didn’t get my paperwork in.

Mike Vogel

I began acting when I was very young, maybe 5 or so? Just by going to acting classes and that sort of thing.

Amybeth McNulty

I was always talking in weird voices from the time I was two. I guess I just found a way to keep doing it! I did get a degree in theater and took some voice-over classes… but most of it is just the same stuff I was doing as a kid!

Grey DeLisle

I would suggest it to any actor to get some movement classes because it really, really makes a difference.

Daniela Ruah

There are only two classes – first class and no class.

David O. Selznick

I’m a five-time world champion in two different weight classes. Man, it’s amazing.

Andre Ward

While I was pregnant, I had dozens of checkups. They covered everything from blood tests to ultrasounds, and I even had the option of attending birthing classes with my husband.

I loved the atmosphere of the dance studios – the wooden floors, the big mirrors, everyone dressed in pink or black tights, the musicians accompanying us – and the feeling of ritual the classes had.

Suzanne Vega

Hip hop classes and ballet are what I’ve been keeping up with, and of course my usual abdominal workout, which consists of 500 sit-ups a session. Or I take a 30-minute abs class at my gym. But dance classes are a full-body cardio workout, which always brings me success and keeps me feeling great.

Briana Evigan

Why aren’t we talking about it in health classes in school? That’s just as important as learning about physical health and nutrition. Why aren’t we learning about our minds and our mental health and mental illnesses? I just think that it’s something that very much needs to go hand in hand.

Lili Reinhart

In our time, there are still many, like those in the Good Samaritan story, who being of the religious classes in that time, purposely crossed to the other side of the road, and passed by the injured and bleeding.

Clarissa Pinkola Estes

I remember being in strong physics, physiology and biology classes.

Barbara Block

I started taking gymnastic classes when I was 3 years old.

Shawn Johnson

I was quite disruptive and out there. Then I found myself in a load of remedial classes being told how to use a ruler. But when they tested my IQ, they found out I was quite intelligent.

Keith Flint

My Vikings class was super fun, and I have loved the computer science classes. Coding, for me, is like a boyfriend that makes you really upset, and then you can’t get enough of him.

Justine Bateman

Just speaking from growing up in the projects, it was hard for me to take dance classes or voice classes because I didn’t have money. Or learn an instrument because I didn’t have the money to buy one.

Anthony Ramos

I just did what I loved – flowers and rock n’ roll. Pretty and punk. I was largely inspired by my dancing school classes and costumes.

Betsey Johnson

There’s this certain caliber of dancing I was striving for when I was younger, and it’s very hard for me to go back and just do it for fun. But I take all other kinds of classes: I take jazz classes, modern classes, and I love doing that instead of going to the gym. The gym is not very much fun.

Summer Glau

I love to do spin classes, go for a hike, box, or do hot yoga.

Ashley Roberts

In American math classes, we teach a lot of concepts poorly over many years. In the Asian systems they teach you very few concepts very well over a few years.

Bill Gates

What I did at Ole Miss had nothing to do with going to classes. My objective was to destroy the system of white supremacy.

James Meredith

I learned by watching my favorite shows. I would just rewind and say the words back, until they sounded right to me. I never studied the American accent, in terms of getting a teacher or taking phonetics classes. I’ve always been a good mimic. It really wasn’t that hard for me.

Adelaide Kane

Since I had gone to a Marathi-language school, I had to take elocution classes as preparation for my part as Kasturba.

Rohini Hattangadi

I love doing improv, and I swear by it, and I encourage people to take classes, and blah blah blah. But it’s always been interesting how it doesn’t necessarily translate to television.

Jack McBrayer

I had two parents who were doctors, and my mom was valedictorian in multiple classes.

John T. Chambers

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

I never took acting classes, but I knew I could do it based on the skill with which I lied to my parents on a regular basis!

Ryan Reynolds

On a normal day, I would wake up at 7:00 A.M. and spend about three to four hours training every day. But all of that depends on my school schedule. School and classes usually run from 8:00-10:40 A.M., but not before I’ve had a coffee for breakfast.

Mirai Nagasu

The one man other than my father who made the most lasting impression was an uncle, Serge B. Benson. He taught me in three different classes – but above all, he taught me lessons in moral, physical, and intellectual courage that I have tried to apply in later life.

Ezra Taft Benson

I was an All-American at three different weight classes in college. Started off at 149, then 157, and then finished up my senior year at 165.

Jordan Burroughs

In America there are two classes of travel – first class, and with children.

Robert Benchley

Rather than dividing the world between good and evil, the Left divided the world in terms of economics. Economic classes, not moral values, explained human behavior. Therefore, to cite a common example, poverty, not one’s moral value system, or lack of it, caused crime.

Dennis Prager

I started creative writing classes at Aberdeen Central Library, and the writer-in-residence there, Todd McEwen, encouraged me a great deal. He showed my stories to his editor, and I thought that was just what happened to everyone who took his classes!

Leila Aboulela

I did improv classes just like any kid would do soccer or gymnastics or swimming. At one of my showcases, my manager came to my mom and said, ‘We would like to represent your daughter.’ My mom asked me that night if I would like to actually act, and I said, ‘Why not? I’ll give it a try!’

Emma Kenney

The political classes are despised when they deal in sound bites, embrace tokenistic campaigns and feather their own nests while trying to please all of the people all of the time.

Ann Widdecombe

I was in honors classes in high school. I’d get an A on every test, but I had a 1.9 grade point average. The teacher would say, ‘You didn’t do your homework.’ I’d say, ‘But isn’t the homework supposed to be the lead-up to the test?’

Gilbert Arenas

My science teachers always encouraged their classes to ‘go out and discover something’ because all scientific endeavors depend on observation and experimentation. Through such pursuits, anyone can find something new to science, and if it’s truly novel, the entire edifice of science might have to be restructured.

Greg Graffin

I loved acting classes, but it was very low key. Never a job job.

Stacy Martin

My school in St. Louis is great. They basically created a program where I can do online classes and independent studies when I’m traveling. But then I still get to go home and take classes in a normal school environment.

Karlie Kloss

I’m the youngest of five kids, and I wanted attention. And in Santa Barbara, there was lots of theater going on, so for that area, it was a little bit like playing Little League baseball. There were dance classes, theater classes, and I just loved it.

Anthony Edwards

I hated sport, but at 13, I went to an aerobics class and the teacher thought I had natural rhythm. She suggested formal dance classes, and that’s when I finally found something I was really good at.

Craig Revel Horwood

In the last century, I earned my living as a librarian, and I loved it. I’d have to take some classes to get up to speed with 21st-century librarianship.

Elizabeth McCracken

Coffee, one of the most widely consumed beverages in the world, contains a plethora of naturally-occurring compounds, including several classes of antioxidants.

Chris Kilham

I try to do things that make me feel good. I go to yoga classes, drink a lot of water, eat healthily and keep things like alcohol and coffee to weekends. I don’t overdo anything.

Abbey Lee Kershaw

If they wish to alleviate the sufferings of the exploited classes, let them live up to their pretensions, let them abandon the academy and go out there and work politically and economically and in a humanitarian spirit.

Harold Bloom

I think we should focus more, rather than less, on mobilising the middle classes. They often have a bit of time and money to contribute to change.

Helena Norberg-Hodge

I wouldn’t just come home from school and watch TV everyday, they had me involved in lots of local theatre. I was a very dramatic, talkative child. And that was part of my mother’s creative solution – to put me in workshops and classes and children’s theatre programmes.

Kerry Washington

The most perfect political community is one in which the middle class is in control, and outnumbers both of the other classes.

Aristotle

I was very personable and outgoing and was friends with most everybody in my class but I was a diehard dancer so I was constantly at dance classes and working toward my passion of dance.

Jenna Dewan

We do a thing here at Arkansas that we teach Football IQ and call it ‘Hogonese.’ They are classes year-round where we get our guys better at the language and culture we want in our program.

Bret Bielema

In a television interview, I said that diversity in our children’s books should include the adventures of disabled children, travellers and gipsies, LGBT teens, different cultures, classes, colours, religions. It shouldn’t be a token gesture, nor do such stories need to be ‘issue-based’.

Malorie Blackman

I had decent but not great grades in high school because I was highly motivated in some subjects, like the arts, drama, English, and history, but in math and science I was a screw-up. Wooster saw something in me, and I really flourished there. I got into theatre, took photography and painting classes.

J. C. Chandor

I went to my mum at about seven or eight and said I want to start acting, but the week before, I had said I wanted to do ballet. She said if I took acting classes for a full year, she would look further into it, and that’s how it started.

Hailee Steinfeld

Children don’t just play any more – they’re far too busy learning to fence and taking extra French classes. In the end, you’re actually doing more damage to your children by trying to hot-house them. It’s far better to remain a calm parent.

Shirley Henderson

My mom took my sister and I to music classes. We used to hate practising as kids but my grandma used to make it fun by playing musical games with us.

Vidya Vox

I taught a lot of art history, especially Chinese, Japanese, and Indian. But the painting classes came back. The nudes came back. Not so much the still lifes. So now our department is the worst department, partly because it has the worst facilities.

Ad Reinhardt

I’ve taken salsa classes. I love dancing and I love to karaoke. So I bought a microphone with some tapes and my son and I karaoke. I know the entire ‘Dora the Explorer’ soundtrack.

Sherri Shepherd

Growing up in Niagara Falls, Ontario, I took classes as a young girl and became very serious about ballet, and also performed with a local company, although it wasn’t a professional company.

Cathy Marie Buchanan

One reason that we eat processed foods is the decline of home economics. Restarting home economics classes is one of the key things we could do to get this issue moving.

Michael Moss

As a kid, I was just writing scripts and taking whatever film classes I could in college.

Damien Chazelle

I’ve had such a hard time with dyslexia my whole life. When I was a child, I didn’t learn to read until I was a lot older, and I was behind in my classes; it was such a challenge.

Charlotte McKinney

The catchword I use with my classes is: The authority of the writer always overcomes the skepticism of the reader.

Nikki Giovanni

I loved Stanford and symbolic systems. For me, I came to Stanford assuming I would be a doctor and got really deep into chemistry and biology, but I noticed everyone who was on the same track as me was taking the exact same classes. I wanted to do something more unique.

Marissa Mayer

Westminster is no joke. I took some tough classes there. It prepared me for a tough career.

Brooke Baldwin

I do all over body workouts, HIIT classes, boxing and lots of leg and back work.

Emma Willis

Featherweight division is one of the most complicated and tough classes in UFC.

Jose Aldo

The proposition of an established classification of states as slave states and free states, as insisted on by some, and into northern and southern, as maintained by others, seems to me purely imaginary, and of course the supposed equilibrium of those classes a mere conceit.

William H. Seward

The hope that poverty and ignorance may gradually be extinguished, derives indeed much support from the steady progress of the working classes during the nineteenth century.

Alfred Marshall

I tried martial arts classes for three weeks, but I quit because you actually get hit. I just want to do the movie kind of martial arts.

Tamara Taylor

All history has been a history of class struggles between dominated classes at various stages of social development.

Friedrich Engels

Well, actually, the Second City thing came about because I was taking a few improv classes there. I thought that the improv classes would help with my wrestling career, which it has.

Trish Stratus

When I grew up we had gym at school, two or three dance classes after school, ice skating lessons, and all sorts of sports at our finger tips. We weren’t glued to computers because they didn’t exist, so being active was all we knew.

Lisa Loeb

I think the sport is growing and along with it weight classes have to be added.

Jorge Masvidal

When I got my MacBook, I started playing around with Garageband a lot. It was just a creative outlet. I put everything into it. I would skip all my classes just to be making my songs. Stuff like that made me feel good.

Kali Uchis

Sex education classes are like in-home sales parties for abortions.

Phyllis Schlafly

Some people go to acting classes to learn. I just kind of went for the dates.

Alex Rocco

When I was in acting classes early on, there were so many people in these classes who were doing great work, and you’d just look at them and say, ‘Wow, I hope to someday be like that.’ And yet these people never worked. You never saw them.

Mark Harmon

The working classes in England were always sentimental, and the Irish and Scots and Welsh. The upper-class English are the stiff-upper-lipped ones. And the middle class. They’re the ones who are crippled emotionally because they can’t move up, and they’re desperate not to move down.

Tracey Ullman

Growing up, my dad drank a lot of wine, so I got a taste for, and learned how to enjoy it. He spoke a lot about flavors and differences in tastes of wine. Also, our manager, Rick Sales, is a big wine drinker; he goes to a lot of wine-tasting classes, and he’s taught me about the qualities of wine.

Tom Araya

Big-time college ball is a business, and they work you to death. You’re in the gym at 7 A. M., got classes all morning, then five hours of practice a day.

Tyrann Mathieu

I barely knew I wanted to be an artist. I liked my art classes and painting was fun, I guess, but I didn’t realize that seeing the country was going to inspire me to further explore that… but that’s what it did.

Edward Ruscha

When I got to college, I didn’t take writing classes, just the standard freshman composition class.

Roger Zelazny

Just do Conor McGregor-Nate Diaz 3 for the 165-pound title. You want to talk about a big fight? That’s a big fight. Let’s add some weight classes. Let’s see more champion versus champion. Let’s get some more two division champions.

Michael Chiesa

I went to an all-boys high school, and they accepted girls in only the two A.P. classes.

Lupita Nyong’o

In terms of negotiating a career – I’ve always grown up being an insider and an outsider to different worlds, across different classes and cultures, so I have always naturally liked making films or music that puts things in unexpected places.

Riz Ahmed

I took a couple of classes in clowning, but that was more like Lucille Ball kind of slapstick, not Ringling Brothers. But we had to do things silently, and the teacher would do this running commentary. ‘Does this make Clown sad? Oh, Clown doesn’t like that, does Clown?’ Always ‘Clown.’ Never a name.

June Diane Raphael

I had a friend named Vasil Rusev in my rowing classes. I’ve always liked that name. When I first started in WWE, I had the opportunity to choose a name, and I choose Rusev.

Rusev

The thing about working in Hollywood is that, at some point, you really get tired of hearing how godless you are, and how if you and the rest of the heathens in Tinsel town would put more God-centric shows on TV, people wouldn’t be abandoning prime time in favor of their Bible study classes.

John Ridley

My time at Barnard was fun but stressful. I transferred there from the acting conservatory at NYU, and my Rolling Around On the Floor Pretending to Be a Lion classes didn’t translate into many academic credits.

Lauren Graham

ATT did a lot of classes, and I had a lot of female partners to work with. In Colorado, I don’t really do any classes.

Tecia Torres

I was used to theatre classes. I studied with my mother; she was a theatre teacher and directed, too, so it was very family-like. Then I studied with a great teacher in Paris, and she was wonderful; she pushed me, but she was a warm soul.

Juliette Binoche

I never had any classes or went to theatre school like a lot of actors, so all of my training has been on stage with different directors. That was a pretty good school room.

James Denton

My feeling is, having lived in different classes, that people want equality of opportunity… that’s the thing that makes me despair: the idea that people aren’t given equality of opportunity.

Zadie Smith

Which to this day is a source of enormous guilt, because I left with three classes to go in the business school to sign a contract with 20th Century Fox.

Tom Selleck

I didn’t take the typical path and go to college after high school. Instead, I saved up money from teaching dance classes and moved to L.A. But my family was so supportive – I never felt pressure from them. It’s crucial to find a support system, even if it’s not your family.

Dianna Agron

When I was in my freshman year at college I took some acting classes and found that I fell in love with it again.

Mary-Kate Olsen

I trained as a classical actor in London for three years. We did Tennessee Williams and dialect and accent classes; they were one of my favorite things to do each week. And we’d strip it down to the phonetics and listen to the sound. It was a really interesting way to look at it all.

Sam Palladio

For a while, I was a flight attendant. I lived in New York, and I was a bartender. I took cooking classes, martial arts classes. I taught a foreign language. I went back to college and studied acting, which I love. I was doing stunt work as well.

Becky Lynch

I didn’t really take a lot of any on-camera classes or anything like that. I really just threw all of my energy into auditioning, and I know that I basically just did things based on feedback that I would get.

Christine Woods

I’d taken, like, maybe some African dance classes a couple of times, but I wasn’t a musical theater person at all.

Chadwick Boseman

At 16, I got into local-education archaeology classes – you got to go to summer digs. It allowed me to be both intellectual and a bad girl with a wicked social life every evening!

Mary Beard

The character of Robin Hood stands for the deep anger of the dispossessed against the ruling classes.

David Farr

In my class – in all fifth-grade classes – we were required to read ‘classics,’ books like ‘Shiloh,’ which is about a white boy and the dog he rescues. And ‘Old Yeller,’ which is about a white boy and the dog that rescues him. And ‘Where the Red Fern Grows,’ which is about a white boy and the two dogs he trains.

Marley Dias

We’ve all had classes with a professor so bland and monotone that their lectures sound like Mitt Romney reading ‘Paradise Lost’ from a blown speaker.

Sean Evans

I was dishwasher, then promoted to chef in a local kitchen in a restaurant in Seattle, and I was working on a building site as well, putting in insulation and painting houses, and then doing some classes at a community college nearby.

Alexis Denisof

I don’t campaign for the end of the aristocracy or the upper classes; I don’t really want to destroy anything at all. I just want more plurality.

Caitlin Moran

I was a coat-checker at Orso, and all these wonderful actors were coming in, and it was exciting to me, so I started going to classes, and my excuse was, ‘I’ll be a better songwriter if I can understand how to play a character.’ Well, that couldn’t be farther from the truth.

Sophie B. Hawkins

I never had vocal lessons, dance classes, or any of the things my peers had.

Ciara

Of the five House Calendars, the Private Calendar is the one to which all Private Bills are referred. Private Bills deal with specific individuals, corporations, institutions, and so forth, as distinguished from public bills which deal with classes only.

Howard Coble

When I originally entered UCLA, I had planned to go for a film major, but I kept finding myself taking math classes for fun, ’cause I missed them from high school!

Danica McKellar

It fell into my lap. I grew up doing dance classes. And one day, a film production company contacted my dance school looking for background dancers. I wasn’t looking for it. It just happened. And I found myself on set. And that was that.

Maika Monroe

One of my favorite classes was horror in theater and psychology.

Annie Parisse

Each reform, therefore, improving the economical and political situation of the workers proves to be an arm that increases the energy with which the proletarian struggle of classes is fought.

Clara Zetkin

When I was really young, my mom enrolled me in dance classes.

Jeff Bridges

You can’t learn acting through any classes.

Dulquer Salmaan

My parents were not at all backstage parents. We had none of that in the family. It was just very clear right away that I was an actor, even from 4 years old. I’ve never waited a table. I taught some – I’ll teach classes in improv or Shakespeare, but there’s some motor in me that needs to do that.

John Michael Higgins

A dream my girlfriend and I have is to move to New York for a year or two because we just love the city. I would take some acting classes.

Daniel Bruhl

I will take classes in Kannada and will learn to read and write it.

Nikita Thukral

I originally wanted to be a pop star. I wanted to be Kylie Minogue. My dad thought that was a very silly ambition and introduced me to drama classes. Once I became fixated on that, there was no stopping me.

Ashley Madekwe

Brazil was a very good experience. I learned a lot about how to play football, both technical and physical. There would be a hundred kids of all ages, training and doing classes together.

Henrikh Mkhitaryan

I taught woman-centered childbirth classes for five years and have a particular interest in the history of childbirth practices.

Jo Beverley

I have been with the Art of Living for around four years. Now, I have started taking classes, too. It has taught me to be patient and achieve a state of peace.

Nagma

The accumulation of personal wealth and the extension of commercial transactions have developed a great and lamentable increase in certain classes of crimes, while the improvements in transport have largely facilitated the escape of fugitive criminals.

Edward Blake

Our government is deeply disordered; its credit is impaired; its debt increasing; its expenditures extravagant and wasteful; its disbursements without efficient accountability; and its taxes (for duties are but taxes) enormous, unequal, and oppressive to the great producing classes of the country.

John C. Calhoun

What’s funny is my mom took me to the theater for the first time when I was six years old, and I was just amazed by it. I just said, ‘Hey Mom, can I do this too?’ And so she signed me up for little theater classes, and I remember my first audition for a play when I was seven years old was for ‘The Thankful Elf.’

Dana Davis

I actually went to some Gamblers Anonymous classes, and I sat there for three or four of them, and I’m trying to figure out what I have in similarities with these other people, and I could never find anything. It just seems like it wasn’t the right place for me.

Pete Rose

One day I was teaching my class and then I had to go to the White House right after, so literally, I took my dress to school. After my classes I went into the ladies room, changed into my outfit, got into the car, went to the White House. So there are real, you know, Superman moments!

Jill Biden

I always wanted to be a writer, and I did want to be a novelist. In college I took a couple of classes that taught me I would never be a novelist. I discovered I had no imagination. My short stories were always thinly veiled memoir.

Anne Fadiman

I’ve always been in school plays and performing monologues and taking drama. Now I’m in acting classes. I do it the real way. I want to be a working actor. I would love that. I just like being on a series and having a script, and I want that to be my nine-to-five.

Vinny Guadagnino

When other students would study after classes, I would go out again to work out and then study in the night.

Manushi Chhillar

I love acting classes. I think they’re great. It’s like working out in the gym. It’s a great place to figure out everything that’s working and what isn’t working.

Evan Peters

I was one of the top paid guys at Impact, thankfully. With that money, I invested a bunch of it and I’ve been taking classes on learning day trading with stocks.

Eli Drake

Being in Loyola College exposed me to other options and gave me confidence, apart from the freedom to bunk classes. I became a merchandiser and then a garment manufacturer, and interacting with foreign buyers and manufacturing foreign brands in India gave me a high.

Suriya

I basically learned hip-hop from *NSYNC. And then while I was touring in theater shows, and I couldn’t take classes in hip-hop but I wanted to, I just watched Justin Timberlake concerts.

Vincent Rodriguez III

I wish I watched movies like ‘Hidden Figures’ when I was a kid, and maybe I would’ve taken science classes super seriously, because I saw myself.

Letitia Wright

The wave of new productive enterprises would provide opportunities to remedy the unjust distribution of environmental hazards among economic classes and racial and ethnic communities.

Barry Commoner

There are so many people that say they are actors and they don’t spend for 5 minutes a day working on their craft. You need to train and need to take classes to keep your tools sharp. I’m always in class, whether it’s theater or drama workshops.

Ian Ziering

The first music-learning thing that I took seriously was piano lessons when I was a kid. I guess that was probably the only time that I was forced to perform music, because I had piano recitals, and my school also had mandatory music classes that had some performing required.

Frankie Cosmos

I could probably do a documentary on acting classes; I’ve taken so many.

Ahna O’Reilly

On the other hand, I think it is wonderful for everyone to take ballet classes, at any age. It gives you a discipline, it gives you a place to go. It gives you some control in your life.

Suzanne Farrell

I did yoga in both of my labors. It’s painful, but it helps you, you’re supposed to stay active and move around. A lot of squatting. I didn’t take any childbirth classes.

Hilaria Baldwin

What happens when kids don’t have glasses – they get bored in class. They disengage and they may be disruptive. They may be misdiagnosed for A.D.D. or put in special needs classes.

Neil Blumenthal

In all cities, the better classes – the business men – are the sources of corruption, but they are so rarely pursued and caught that we do not fully realize whence the trouble comes.

Lincoln Steffens

It’s not my place to compare myself to greats like Tyson, Frazier or men like that. But I would look at a fighter like Evander Holyfield. He’s a great heavyweight who worked his way up through the weight classes to become champion and had to beat bigger men along the way.

Wladimir Klitschko

When I came back to Mumbai after boarding school, I was 16 and I picked up weight training and yoga. This is when I also started dance classes and Pilates and then I started doing different workouts every month. I am now proficient in kick boxing, gymnastics, classical dance as well as yoga.

Amyra Dastur

‘Hey Dude’ was shot in Arizona, and that took me to the West Coast. We did 65 episodes. It was not a show that a ton of people saw, so it was like doing acting classes and getting paid for it. At that point I had the acting bug. So I went to L.A. to give it a try and never left.

Christine Taylor

These gardens may be called the gardens of the respectable working classes.

Robert Fortune

The major obstacle to a religious renewal is the intellectual classes, who are highly influential and tend to view religion as primitive superstition. They believe that science has left atheism as the only respectable intellectual stance.

Robert Bork

I pretty much spent my twenties as a musician and taking acting classes. I loved it. I was at UCLA getting As and Bs in English and creative writing, basically trying to stay out of the Army. All I really wanted to do was play music.

Robert David Hall

I took classes taught by an elderly woman who wrote children’s stories. She was polite about the science fiction and fantasy that I kept handing in, but she finally asked in exasperation, ‘Can’t you write anything normal?’

Octavia E. Butler

I would love to do a little ballroom dancing with my husband… He and I can take a couple classes together. It would be a lot of fun!

Jennifer Grey

I’ve always wanted to write a book relating my experiences growing up as a deaf child in Chicago. Contrary to what people might think, it wasn’t all about hearing aids and speech classes or frustrations.

Marlee Matlin

When I first moved to L.A., I didn’t have a lot of money to join a gym or take classes, so I improvised. My sister and I went to the library and looked over their DVD collection and discovered Neena and Veena, these Egyptian twins who have a whole series of belly dancing routines. We did them all.

AnnaLynne McCord

I like all styles of MMA, my first classes in the sport were BJJ but I prefer to stand up.

Jimi Manuwa

It is great for your work to get through to both the masses and classes.

Jaideep Ahlawat

I’m just wanting to make the proper breakfast and keep the house. That’s my passion. At the request of my kids, I’m taking cooking classes. As I go to sleep at night, I think, ‘Did I do a great job as a mom, or was that an average day?’

Angelina Jolie

I took classes and performed and did improv and sketch and wrote sketches and did lights and sound for other people’s shows just so I could be around the theater. That was about seven nights a week for seven years.

Rob Riggle

My heart’s in really great shape thanks to spinning classes.

Christine Lahti

My parents moved around Stockton and Lodi. I had a lot of anxiety about jumping into another classroom. They were always putting me in special ed. But I was smart; I wasn’t like these kids in the special-ed classes. But it would make me feel a little bit stupid.

Nate Diaz

In those days, reserve duty lasted for six years, which, I might add, was three times as long as service in the regular army, although to be perfectly honest, I was unable to fulfill my entire obligation because I was taking acting classes and they said I could skip my last year.

Larry David

All the world over, I will back the masses against the classes.

William E. Gladstone

It’s easy to think that college classes are mainly about preparing you for a job. But remember: this may be the one time in your life when you have a chance to think about the whole of your life, not just your job.

Martha Nussbaum

While I wasn’t very good at much else in school, in my creative-writing classes or when we had to do some writing in my English classes, I tended to do better at it.

Bruce Springsteen

The point of my work is to show that culture and education aren’t simply hobbies or minor influences. They are hugely important in the affirmation of differences between groups and social classes and in the reproduction of those differences.

Pierre Bourdieu

I don’t favour ethics classes being an alternative to special religious education classes.

Barry O’Farrell

I wish they taught green screen acting classes.

Hayden Christensen

The work of popular education, the temperance movement, the peace movement, are to a great extent carried on by the young. Their meetings show that the young understand one of their tasks: that of bringing together the different classes through social intercourse.

Ellen Key

Undoubtedly, church fish fries and picnics help build social cohesion. It was at my dad’s medium-size evangelical church – my first real exposure to a sustained religious community – that I first saw people of different races and classes worshiping together.

J. D. Vance

The classical writers… playwrights, Jacobean, Elizabethan playwrights, all showed areas of all classes and how they live and painted them pretty authentically.

Timothy West

My family was absolutely supportive. I did have a fear of cold reads because of my dyslexia, but my family’s support and reading classes really helped me overcome my fear!

Bella Thorne

I wish I had taken some dance classes; I would love to be a female Hrithik Roshan.

Mahima Chaudhry

It’s hard after a long day at work to still get your butt up and go to the gym, so classes are the best motivators for me, or if I have a trainer. I had a trainer for a while, and that was cool because you just show up, and they tell you what to do.

Miranda Rae Mayo

It is only by not paying one’s bills that one can hope to live in the memory of the commercial classes.

Oscar Wilde

There’s just so much free time. In college, you’ve got study hall, classes, film – all that stuff. In the NBA, it’s just practices, games and that’s it.

Caris LeVert

So many people can see my content and see that I dance and maybe it’ll draw them to my Instagram where I have longer clips of me and dance classes or improv.

Charli D’Amelio

But perhaps the rest of us could have separate classes in science appreciation, the wonder of science, scientific ways of thinking, and the history of scientific ideas, rather than laboratory experience.

Richard Dawkins

Now that virtually every career is an option for ambitious girls, it can no longer be considered regressive or reactionary to reintroduce discussion of marriage and motherhood to primary education. We certainly do not want to return to the simplistic duality of home economics classes for girls and wood shop for boys.

Camille Paglia

We put more emphasis on who can drive a car than on who can be a parent. And I think there ought to be mandatory parenting classes starting in high school, and you should have to have a license to be able to be a parent to explain that you don’t give alcohol to kids.

Dale Archer

I usually balance school by doing online classes and regular classes – that has helped me a lot, and I’m able to get my schoolwork done while I’m traveling too.

Jordyn Wieber

It’s easy for the thought-leader and executive classes to embrace a ‘do what you love and love what you do’ philosophy when they are wealthy enough to work hard only voluntarily, and when their jobs grant them status.

Alex Pareene

The ethic of liberal individualism has so deeply permeated the psyches of blacks… of all classes that we have little support for a political ethic of communalism that promotes the sharing of resources.

bell hooks

I work out religiously. It’s great for my back. It’s great for my core. I’ve been exposed to lots of exercise regimens and movement classes as an actor, so I understand the importance of stretching and staying limber, but Pilates is what’s really spoken to me. It works everything out.

Thomas Gibson

After I lost my legs, I got invited to my old high school, and I shared my stories with all the classes. I remember I was so nervous and didn’t know where to start, but I knew I had information they could take away.

Amy Purdy

In junior high school, I learned that I could be good at school. I remember liking the freedom to choose classes and the pleasure of learning and doing well. My perseverance and love of reading had somehow allowed me to overcome many disadvantages of dyslexia, and I read a lot of books for pleasure.

Carol W. Greider

I worry that people think you have to go to a university to be a good writer, which is categorically untrue. I don’t think I learned how to write at Oxford. I did not go to any creative writing classes or anything.

Samantha Shannon

I was a good pupil at primary school: in the second class I was writing with no spelling mistakes, and the third and fourth classes were done in a single year.

Jose Saramago

You know, master classes are essentially extended Q&As. That’s how I always approach them. I don’t mean to downplay it. It’s just that I never fancy myself as someone who is taking a class. ‘Master class’ insinuates a teacher, and I’m not one.

Sean Baker

History and social sciences were my interests. I was always interested in knowing how societies get organized, why there is rich and poor divide, why there are classes. I was never apolitical. I think we are all political in a way. Politics decides our day-to-day life.

Pawan Kalyan

People are getting more used to another language; that’s how I learned English and Spanish. I listened to other singers and tried to sing with them. Of course, I studied it, and I took classes, but music helps me a lot.

Anitta

When it comes to boxing, I’m a four-time champion in four different weight classes. I did it at the age of 26. You can’t down talk that.

Adrien Broner

I was always drawn to teachers who made class interesting. In high school, I enjoyed my American and English literature classes because my teachers, Jeanne Dorsey and Dani Barton, created an environment where interaction was important.

Ellen Ochoa

I acted in theater and I took film classes when I was 12 and just obsessed over it. I loved it and spent hours and hours in the film studio learning and watching.

Mary Elizabeth Winstead

Upon arriving, meeting their teachers and signing up for classes, these students began to realize that their attendance at Delaware State University was not a goal achieved, but rather a dream being sewn – a first step, if you will.

Michael N. Castle

I attended classes and taught classes, in Food Anthropology at Pace University, with an anthropology professor. You can trace history by the architecture and food of a place. Food is one of those things that transcends and stays in the culture.

Lidia Bastianich

How rich our German life is compared to France or England: what an abundance of social types and customs with completely different origins… Germany is a world, whereas England and France, with their stereotypically divided three social classes, are but enlarged villages… what a stage for a Balzac.

Harry Graf Kessler

The point of workouts are no longer to do double 60-minute sessions or go to classes five times a week. You don’t want to burn out and beat your body up.

David Kirsch

I try to do a variety of physical activities. I spin, take classes at Barry’s Boot Camp, go to the gym, use home DVD’s of ChaLEAN Extreme workouts, which I think are brilliant, and I run around after my three girls. Also, let’s be honest. The amount of laundry I do is an exercise in and of itself!

Alicia Coppola

Unconventionality is no longer a taboo. It is being applauded and celebrated by both the classes and the masses.

Sherlyn Chopra

I have always enjoyed literature classes, and I took a fiction workshop for writing and analyzing at Curtis… I don’t know if would do it professionally, but it’s nice to have the balance with the music.

Hilary Hahn

For the oppressed peoples and classes, for the peoples and workers who have taken control of their destiny, Marxism is a shining path, a sun of hope and certainty that never sets, a sun that is always at its zenith.

Samora Machel

The other classes of which society was composed were, first, freemen, owners of small portions of land, independent, though they sometimes voluntarily became the vassals of their more opulent neighbors, whose power was necessary for their protection.

Thomas Bulfinch

Even when I teach my MMA classes in the gym, it’s hard to teach what I do. It’s more of state of flow, a state of feel. It’s not a robotic thing like one, two, three, kick, one, two, three, switch, jab, cross. It’s completely unorthodox. Everything is about rhythm, tempo and pace. It’s a different style, man.

Aljamain Sterling

I have a vision of homes alerted, of classes alive, and of pulpits aflame with the spirit of Book of Mormon messages.

Ezra Taft Benson

I looked for acting classes in Paris just to do something different than modeling. And then one day I just thought, ‘Okay, that’s enough, I have to start doing something.’ I went to the acting agency and I just told them I wanted to act and asked them if they would give me a chance, and they did.

Olga Kurylenko

I could see no position to say, ‘I’m going to make a living as a writer.’ But I went to classes for it; I read every play in ‘Theater’ magazine. I saw the second acts of everything on Broadway – I had a job as a CBS usher in New York City, and on my way home every night, I’d see what shows I could get into.

James L. Brooks

My mom put me into dance classes, found out that I can’t dance to save my life.

Cailee Spaeny

The burnt odor in Washington is from the disintegrating authority of the governing classes.

William Greider

I met my wife when we were both 19 or 20, at a music school where she was taking voice and piano lessons and I was doing classes in music theory and composition.

Rohinton Mistry

I took tap classes growing up.

Jon M. Chu

I went to classes on writing for film and theatre as well as short stories at Stanford.

Brook Lopez

I must know good yoga classes in about 25 cities on this planet.

Minnie Driver

I was never a bright student, potentially never good at dramatics; I was sometimes given one-line roles that I was happy to do so that I could bunk classes. My mother used to cry three times a year, and that is when my report card used to come.

Ranbir Kapoor

I had always attended classes and written stories as a creative outlet because I need that, and I thought, in my previous career in a model, the way I approached that was that I believed I was telling a non-verbal story.

Jessica Clark

It’s important, according to me, to train in small doses so as to not lose the joy of playing chess. I personally think too many coaching and training classes may take away a child’s interest in the game itself. The essential thing to do is practise often and, in case of a doubt, to consult a trainer.

Viswanathan Anand

I did get a degree in theater and took some voice-over classes.

Grey DeLisle

Basically, when I went to school in Sri Lanka from age five onward, the classes there were sometimes sorted into a hierarchy of your skin tone. So the fairer-skinned kids sat at the front row, and the darker-skinned kids sat at the back by the poor ones who played out in the street all day long.

M.I.A.

Coronavirus is constantly attacking society’s vulnerable classes and spaces. We must shake off the fantasy that we can go back to the past we were accustomed to.

Park Won-soon

Often, when art from the canon is brought in to fine art classes, it is used as a prop to inspire art-making projects but more rarely as something to study in-depth for itself.

Munira Mirza

I was singing R&B songs, listening to Boyz II Men, and I wanted to take dance classes, but I waited until my senior year of high school to take my very first dance class.

Vincent Rodriguez III

As all C.S. students know, first year is super easy, but second year is when things get harder. At least that’s how it was in my experience. And I didn’t have to save the planet between classes either. Instead, I went home and studied quietly. I was a party animal.

Ryan North

I valued the biblical foundation I got at Biola. I was able to take classes that strengthened my faith and helped me to better understand what I believe and how to, in a practical way, apply my faith in real-world situations.

John Thune

No one is immune from addiction; it afflicts people of all ages, races, classes, and professions.

Patrick J. Kennedy

I skate about 15 to 20 hours a week and also incorporate a lot of off-ice training. I take ballet and Pilates classes and lift weights with my physical therapist when I’m not on the ice.

Sasha Cohen

We are cutting things kids like-music, art, and gym classes; stuff that kept me in school. This country can’t survive without you kids. It’s all about you kids.

Tony Danza

Everybody who makes any kind of policy needs to substitute teach. But you’ve got to be a real teacher. You can’t just go to a couple of classes with the regular teacher there. It is an incredibly hard job.

John Kennedy

I’m really not worrying about jumping weight classes. For me, the weight is not a problem.

Adrien Broner

I wrote my first 30 books as a teacher. I would read to my classes, and they’d give me feedback. I was trying to role model.

Eric Walters

My mom graduated from the University of Michigan, which is a great school. Then she got her Master’s from NYU. She wanted to be an actress, so when she graduated, she had a dream, and she started following it. She moved to New York and took acting classes with people like Denzel Washington.

Big Sean

Over time, shop classes sort of disappeared or got marginalized in the states. I don’t really know why. Now with tech like 3-D printers and CNCs, shops have acquired a new shine.

Jamie Hyneman

I played a little basketball, but basketball interfered with theater season. That’s when we did our term plays and did nutshell versions of Shakespeare for English classes. And, believe me, I got a fair amount of looks from the guys on the team. ‘You’re in theater but you can play football?’

Dennis Haysbert

I had a friend that was really passionate about yoga, and she let me come with her to a couple of her classes – I just got really into it. The more you practise, the better you get. It’s an hour when I’m not thinking about anything except breathing.

Stella Maxwell

I teach biology, it’s kind of a difficult science and time is limited. As far as I’m concerned, it’s all about the students. I teach classes that are for majors, so some of them are pre-med, pre-pharmacy and pre-dentistry and veterinarians.

Danny Lloyd

I love hot yoga. I go to a sculpt class with weights. That’s really good for the core and it’s obviously super hot. I love cardio bar. I’m not a big gym fan, so I like to go to classes.

Naya Rivera

Socialism appeals to better classes and has far more strength. Attack the state and you excite feelings of loyalty even among the disaffected classes; but attack the industrial system and appeal to the state, and you may have loyalty in your favor.

John Bates Clark

When I first moved out to L.A., I was still 17. The deal with my dad was that I would be able to live out there if I were to treat my acting classes like college classes. So when I moved, that’s all I did: trained and auditioned.

Brianna Hildebrand

My go-to gifts are scarves from my friend Matin Maulawizada’s nonprofit organization, Afghan Hands, which supports disenfranchised women in Afghanistan. In exchange for their beautiful embroidery, the women are given financial aid and classes in math and literacy. The scarves are all stunning and one of a kind.

Claire Danes

Teachers do not need to be armed with guns to protect their classes; they need to be armed with a solid education in order to teach their classes.

Emma Gonzalez

I feel lucky in that I don’t really have to go to college to study something job-specific. I just want to go to learn about what is interesting to me and learn about the classes that you don’t really get to take in high school because you have to take the basics.

Tavi Gevinson

Beyonce was very shy around children, and one of the reasons we put her in dance classes was so she’d have some little kid friends.

Tina Knowles

The world of women fascinates me, probably because my sister and I were always together as children in our mother’s salon after school and after ballet classes. We used to talk about what we saw: the different ladies who would come in, all with their distinctive personalities.

Monica Cruz

Academically, I was never that interested. I skipped classes. My biggest dream was to have a coffee shop, but I had no idea how to get the money to do that.

Daniel Espinosa

First semester I took classes like econ and that kind of stuff, and I was miserable.

Lucy DeVito

I graduated in biology by overcoming an incredibly impossible science workload in college. The knowledge does nothing for me, but knowing I achieved that makes me feel like I can achieve anything because those science classes in biology are just impossible.

Frank Vogel

From, like, two, three years old, I was obsessed with Michael Jackson and just wanted to be on stage with him. And my mum put me in dance classes, but I had a lot of social anxiety and didn’t want to be around people; I didn’t like to look at anyone in the eye, so that was a difficult thing to get over.

Keiynan Lonsdale

No one can teach writing, but classes may stimulate the urge to write. If you are born a writer, you will inevitably and helplessly write. A born writer has self-knowledge. Read, read, read. And if you are a fiction writer, don’t confine yourself to reading fiction. Every writer is first a wide reader.

Cynthia Ozick

Evolution is what it is. The upper classes have always died out; it’s one of the most charming things about them.

Germaine Greer

When I teach classes at the School of Visual Arts,, I’ll ask the students, ‘How many of you have been to a museum this year?’ Nobody raises their hand and I go into a tirade. If you want to do something sharp and innovative, you have to know what went on before.

George Lois

I go to yoga classes and work on my core.

Maria Sharapova

I think it’s better when you’re natural, when you just do whatever you want, instead of doing classes where I see all these other people holding back because they’ve been trained with certain skills or techniques. I’m like, whatever.

Gisele Bundchen

There are two classes of women in Soviet Russia. There is the professional class, which has taken the place of the nobility and includes government officials, artists, doctors, composers and writers as well as former members of the old nobility whose sympathy is with the Soviets, and also the peasant class.

Elsa Schiaparelli

I was sent to ballet classes when I was a little girl. I wasn’t very good, but it’s that thing where little girls always try ballet, or whatever.

Cat Deeley

I was really into dancing, taking six classes a week, and my real dream was to be in a Broadway show.

Natalie Portman

I had originally wanted to be a lawyer. Even when I went to college and majored in engineering, I still thought I’d get a law degree. Then I started taking electrical engineering classes where I saw some of the innovation happening around computers and solid-state technology in the mid ’80s.

Kimberly Bryant

I used to spend a lot of time at football training, but that time was later spent in amateur acting classes and my local youth theatre, in plays at school and after-school clubs. That filled the void.

Sam Claflin

After I found that I had become an actor, slightly to my surprise, I did have some insecurity, and I did take some rather strange acting classes at a place called The Actor’s Studio in London. I don’t think they did me any good at all.

Hugh Grant

I started watching English news channels and would repeat after the anchor. Since coaching classes were expensive, I joined a call centre where, after undergoing training for a month, I quit. I followed this strategy in 15 BPOs. I could earn money and learn English at the same time.

Harshvardhan Rane

When my father passed away, my mom didn’t really know what to do and how to deal with it for me, so she put me in extracurricular classes, one of them being theater.

Eiza Gonzalez

You can’t punish the middle classes for going to drama school – you need to punish the education system and the associative governments for devaluing the arts.

Jonathan Pryce

Al Gore’s performances could be a case study in abnormal-psychology classes.

Rich Lowry

I feel like most standup comedians do it the way I did it, where you just go to open mics and cut your teeth. Sketch and improv – they take a lot of classes. It’s not unusual, the way I did it. It’s just that, with standup, no one knows how to start because there’s no book for it; there’s no place you can really go.

Michael Che

I’m a comedian first. I’ve learned how to act. I just draw on life experiences and that’s how I’ve learned. I didn’t take classes or anything. I don’t need no classroom.

Steve Harvey

I started going to yoga classes as I thought that would be a good place to meet girls, but it is hard to chat to someone when you are balancing upside down.

Gethin Jones

It was all encompassing and so hard for me to do any classes or take up any hobbies – I’d wake up with this gnawing feeling in my stomach that I wasn’t doing what I was meant to do.

Becky Lynch

Of all classes the rich are the most noticed and the least studied.

John Kenneth Galbraith

I’ve spent a lot of time playing Bach partitas. One of my first jobs was to play for ballet and modern classes, so the music in ‘Partita’ is kind of like choreography for me.

Caroline Shaw

I am a serial class taker. I take classes for anything and everything!

Rasika Dugal

It was my mother who got me involved in gymnastics, sending me to classes when I was six just to stop me doing back flips on the couch and destroying the furniture.

Nadia Comaneci

I think that when I was child, acting was mostly just a hobby for me. It was something that my parents encouraged me to think of the way that my brothers thought of their cross-country classes, or my little sister to dance classes and art classes, and it was something like that for me.

Mara Wilson

In public schools, classes are bloated – it’s ridiculous.

Frank McCourt

The young women in my classes are feisty and clever and believe, often with the passion of youthful optimism, that feminism is a battle already won. I worry for them – and for my daughters, too.

Louise Brown

People who teach American history survey classes have a lot of ground to cover and tend to focus on landmarks. You get through the Civil War and Reconstruction, and you have to get to the beginning of the 20th century fast. It’s pretty easy to go lightly on the Gilded Age.

H. W. Brands

I was 35 when I started taking classes at Ohio University. After I got my degree, I kept working at the mill. When I was 45, I decided I was going to try to learn how to write short stories.

Donald Ray Pollock

I love dancing and practiced ballet for ten years until I realized I wouldn’t make it professionally – then I started taking salsa classes. I learned to dance samba in Rio and Salvador when I lived in Brazil.

Leila Janah

I’ve been lucky. I’ve been in that top two or three for 11 years at two weight classes. It’s been a crazy journey. It’s been awesome.

Joseph Benavidez

I don’t speak Spanish. I’ve done Spanish 1 and 2 classes. My grandma asked me when I was young if I wanted to learn Spanish, and I guess I was young. I should have, because it would have helped me a lot.

Scotty McCreery

I didn’t come out and roll from job to job – my first year was really tough. I had to work as a teaching assistant for an agency; I ran a pancake stall in Dulwich Market. I taught drama classes and ran my own workshops. I applied for every advert on Gumtree there possibly was.

Cush Jumbo

At the end of the day I’m still a four-time world champion at four different weight classes and I’ll still be in the history books.

Adrien Broner

I’m lucky to have parents who used to be bodybuilders! They help me keep fit by going to the gym and training with me. I’m also addicted to Cardio Barre classes and hiking.

Janel Parrish

I’m a little Italian girl from New Haven who, as an actor, gets to jump classes through language.

Lauren Ambrose

Any reading not of a vicious species must be a good substitute for the amusements too apt to fill up the leisure of the labouring classes.

James Madison

I managed to do some classes in Ukraine but people there didn’t really speak English. They spoke Russian so that’s what I learned there.

Fred

What you notice in French nurseries is just how calm they are. All of their classes are structured and led by teachers. It’s a requirement.

Liz Truss

A fascist is one whose lust for money or power is combined with such an intensity of intolerance toward those of other races, parties, classes, religions, cultures, regions or nations as to make him ruthless in his use of deceit or violence to attain his ends.

Henry A. Wallace

Oh, I have this feud going with the L.A. Unified School District, because I keep getting these phone calls saying my daughter keeps missing classes, I mean, at all hours of the night, I had like, two calls this morning and I keep calling saying I haven’t got a daughter!

Chris Colfer

Comfort came in with the middle classes.

Clive Bell

My dance classes were open to anybody, my only stipulation was that they had to come to the class every day.

Merce Cunningham

I thought I would draw or paint or be an architect. I was always drawing portraits. My mom put me in art classes in the summer.

Chadwick Boseman

But ‘Hey Dude’ was shot in Arizona, and that took me to the West Coast. We did 65 episodes. It was not a show that a ton of people saw, so it was like doing acting classes and getting paid for it. At that point I had the acting bug. So I went to L.A. to give it a try and never left.

Christine Taylor

If the leading Negro classes cannot assume and bear the uplift of their own proletariat, they are doomed for all time. It is not a case of ethics; it is a plain case of necessity. The method by which this may be done is, first, for the American Negro to achieve a new economic solidarity.

W. E. B. Du Bois

When parents ask why there are still so few girls in advanced science and math classes in high school, I tell them, because girls still need way more encouragement than boys to take those courses.

Eileen Pollack

I do a kind of homeschooling where some of it’s on the computer and some of it’s classes around the city. So sometimes I’ll have a class in the morning or do school at home.

Lilla Crawford

All mankind is divided into three classes: those that are immovable, those that are movable, and those that move.

Benjamin Franklin

My mother worked at the telephone company during the day and sold Tupperware at night. Evenings, she took classes when she could at University of Maryland’s University College, bringing me along to do homework while she studied to get the degree she hoped would offer her and me greater opportunities.

Gayle Tzemach Lemmon

I had really great art classes. Really great art teachers. Arts played a very important role in having a place to express yourself uniquely.

Dianne Reeves

I have asked Centre for scheduled caste status to 13 backward classes including Kewat, Kahar, Kashyap, Mallah, Nishad, Lonia, Kumhar, Dheevar, Bind, Machhiara, Lohia-Chauhan, Nonia and Dhangar.

Mayawati

Most of my friends all tend to work in restaurants part time, doing acting classes on the side.

Lauren Conrad

I took acting classes, and I’m always trying to improve myself. Everyone can improve, and the more you work in the industry, the better you are going to feel about it.

Danielle Campbell

I plan to live on campus in a dormitory and to do all the things any other student of the law school might do: use the library, eat in the dining hall, attend classes.

Medgar Evers

I have no musical talent at all. I was banned from music classes and told I would never be able to understand anything. I still don’t think I can sing, but somehow I get away with it.

Andrew Eldritch

It took me forever to get comfortable. When I first started NXT, we had promo classes, and I used to get so upset because I couldn’t get in front of a crowd and talk. I was terrified.

Alexa Bliss

I fantasized about being a psychology major when I first started school, and I took a handful of Psych 101 classes.

Claire Danes

First, I started taking dance classes, and then I started taking singing lessons. Then my mom put me into a year-round theatre program where I did seven shows.

Lilla Crawford

I love that, ‘mommy-shaming.’ When I was a new mom, I was obsessed with how I was being perceived and trying to fit in as a mom, going to mommy-and-me classes and things like that, and never quite measuring up to ‘the real moms,’ the ‘robot moms,’ as I called them.

Pamela Adlon

I was an English major at Brown. I never enjoyed history classes.

Nathaniel Philbrick

Women should let go their responsibilities of kitchen and should take coaching classes of how to give pleasure.

Rakhi Sawant

I always wanted to be a film-maker when I was younger, not an actor. I was an eight-year-old who dreamed of being a writer on ‘The Simpsons,’ which was a weird dream to have. But I started taking acting classes as a way to learn how to direct actors and I sort of fell in love with it.

Jonah Hill

I had been tracked from grades 1 through 12 in an accelerated program in the public school system in Memphis and had done well in math and science classes. When I was getting ready for college, my guidance counselors suggested I look into engineering.

Kimberly Bryant

Even though I loved to write, I never liked English lit. class very much. I think it ruins books when you dissect them too much. I liked my art classes best.

Meg Cabot

Our constitution is color-blind, and neither knows nor tolerates classes among citizens.

John Marshall Harlan

When I exercise, I like to take lots of different classes because I want to really apply myself and feel like I’m learning a new skill. Not that I ever want to have to demonstrate any of those skills!

Zooey Deschanel

I always liked acting in school and drama classes, but when people asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up, I always told them I wanted to be a singer. I didn’t want to be a jack of all trades. I wanted to master one.

Eliza Doolittle

At Julliard we had some voice classes. It was really just so you could carry a tune. It always just helps with your speaking voice also, when you connect your diaphragm and your breath.

Wendell Pierce

Black America has always felt itself divided into two classes: the mucky-mucks and the folk.

Darryl Pinckney

I always wanted to be a singer, and so, when I was 5 years old, I started acting classes so I could be a better performer. I wanted to have a powerful voice so I could be heard.

Q’orianka Kilcher

The journalistic and political classes are very eager to borrow the cultural authority of comedians when it suits them, sending out gala invitations and posing for photos in hopes that a bit of that edgy satirical shine will rub off on them.

Adam Conover

I loved the gentlemanly way they treated each other. It was unlike anything I was used to. I started helping them strike the set and, at 11, began taking acting classes privately.

Jeffrey Tambor

We were always told not to wear skirts that were too short, because what will the male teachers think of you? Or, when we started sharing classes with boys in sixth form, what will they think of you if you are wearing a miniskirt to lessons?

Lucy Boynton

When I went to Paris, I had a lot of ideas about it that were formed in the sort of ether that flows about if you watch too many recent Woody Allen movies or took French classes as a kid. I was certainly full of those.

Rosecrans Baldwin

When I entered college, I wasn’t sure what I was going to do. My advisor happened to be from the theater department, and he encouraged me to take some classes there, which I did.

David Selby

I moved to California in 2011 to be a writer. A family friend told me to take acting classes so I could do commercials and actually make a little money.

Jovan Adepo

Any teaching of falsehoods in science classes should certainly be identified and stopped by school inspectors. School inspectors should be looking at science teachings to make sure they are evidence-based science.

Richard Dawkins

The remedy for life’s broken pieces is not classes, workshops or books. Don’t try to heal the broken pieces. Just forgive.

Iyanla Vanzant

The public is to the left not simply of New Labour, but the political and media classes as a whole.

Mehdi Hasan

We are inflicting opinion in our newscasts like never before. That was never done and never taught in our journalism classes.

Ainsley Earhardt

Can I eventually take classes and eliminate my accent? Sure. I guess anybody could. But this is who I am, and this is what I got. And there are millions of people who sound just like me. Millions. It’s not like this is some novelty.

Jack McBrayer

My mother sent me to art classes at the age of 11. I began to have kids around me say, ‘Will you make drawings for me? Will you make a painting for me?’ And it really clicked.

Kehinde Wiley

As an adult, I took ballet classes three times a week, and I believed it gave me better posture, a stronger body, and made me more graceful.

Ann Hood

We preserve the legacy of my father through an education approach. We award scholarships. We do classes at schools about my father’s philosophy and life.

Shannon Lee

There’s just a proliferation of blogs and the chattering classes and people talking. More avenues for people to make their feelings known, which is good.

Anderson Cooper

I grew up watching film shootings as I always accompanied my father during my holidays. So I was not scared about facing the camera nor did I go to any acting classes.

Kalyani Priyadarshan

My parents were strict with school, strict with grades. I had piano classes, horseback riding, dance.

Julia Restoin Roitfeld

The increasing segregation we have in our country geographically and culturally has led to these pretty monolithic views of different classes of people, and because of that, we’ve lost a certain amount of cultural cohesion.

J. D. Vance

There was a time when my mum would sew costumes for the dance studio so we could keep doing our classes because we couldn’t afford them.

Julianne Hough

I go to body combat classes. There’s something very tribal about being in a room with 30 other women punching and kicking!

Sara Cox

Mum snuck me into speech and drama classes and into the National Youth Theatre and said I was going on a summer camp if Dad asked.

Adeel Akhtar

My family wanted church to be a place where we all went together. My dad was always traveling, and my mom was always working. School is where I did Bible classes and studied God.

Sofia Richie

I am waiting impatiently for the day when beleaguered, like-minded academics can order James Wolcott’s collected essays for their classes.

Camille Paglia

When I first moved to L.A., I discovered Roy London. I didn’t know anything about the arts, the profession; I had no technique, I knew nothing, I’m fresh from Missouri. I sat in on a few classes, and they just felt a little guru-ish and just didn’t feel right to me. Until I met Roy.

Brad Pitt

Two to four classes each offseason – just trying to chip away. There are times when I think, ‘Man, I don’t need to be doing this. Why am I doing this to myself?’ But to fight through that and come out and make a good grade, it feels worth it. Hopefully something good comes out of it one day.

Stephen Gostkowski

I strongly support not just citizenship classes but also teaching children how the law works and the many ways it affects their lives.

Cherie Blair

I was giving everything I had to classes, and I was getting a 2.6. I knew that wasn’t going to get me into med school.

Frank Vogel

When I was in New York after I left the Army, I studied for two years at the American Theater Wing, studied acting, which involved dance and fencing and speech classes and history of theater, all that.

James Earl Jones

No one knows what the top-performing asset class will be next year. Lacking this prescience, your next-best solution is to own all of the classes and rebalance regularly.

Barry Ritholtz

When I was in sixth grade, they slashed the budgets for all of our school art programs, so my grandparents enrolled me in art classes at Worcester Art Museum, which I attended from sixth to 12th grade.

Jarrett J. Krosoczka

I love working out at AKT. I will jump into one of my instructor’s classes, hold a secret session with friends, or jam it out with my team, five days per week, 60-90 minutes each day.

Anna Kaiser

It’s actually very surprising how little we think about the quality of our decision-making and how we could improve it. How absent decision-making classes are from educational curricula. How little we think about how it is we think.

Noreena Hertz

I did just about everything under the sun. I did some Revlon work, make-up artistry. I taught classes at community colleges for a make-up course, teaching tennis. I was doing everything I knew how to do. I think one year I had as many as 10 W-2’s come in.

Ivory

For me, church was about not only religion but about community. A woman in my grandmother’s church helped pay for my SAT classes when I was in high school and drove me there every week.

Jamila Woods

I have no doubt but that the misery of the lower classes will be found to abate whenever the Government assumes a freer aspect and the laws favor a subdivision of Property.

James Madison

I started taking singing classes just two years ago. It was great. I never knew I could sing but I kind of found my voice.

Hilary Duff

I’d started going to acting classes at 14, played ‘Medea’ at 15 and really wanted to be a classical actress.

Barbra Streisand

All books are divisible into two classes, the books of the hour, and the books of all time.

John Ruskin

My first film was with Cuba Gooding Jr, ‘The Fighting Temptations,’ and I had a little part here and there on little shows as guest stars. And I’ve taken acting classes.

NeNe Leakes

I was a terrible student, but I never missed a music class. In fact, I don’t even think I attended most of my gen-ed classes, but I never missed a single music class.

Ashley McBryde

To be honest, I never went to school for acting, and I never learned to break down a script. I took acting classes my whole life, but they never taught me anything about acting. They just taught me about myself.

Shailene Woodley

I’m working on getting tougher with self-defence classes.

Amanda Knox

The Left not only needs a victim class, it has proven adept at inventing new victim classes as a means of exacerbating social conflict.

Tom Tancredo

Our label was always known as a mass brand. To bridge that gap and to take it to the classes by bringing it a respectability with niche brand associations was what I took up as a challenge.

Bhushan Kumar

There is a bearing which comes from having a little bit of something withheld. In acting classes, they always say don’t reveal 100 percent: it’s much more interesting.

Bill Pullman

I enjoy going to the Y. I take all the fitness classes that my dad takes; that’s sort of our bonding – anything athletic, anything sports related.

Alyson Stoner

Dancing is my therapy. I also try to meditate every morning and take several two-hour yoga classes a week at my favorite yoga studio, Urban Flow.

Leila Janah

We do not discuss the anatomical, physiological, and mental characteristics of man considered as an individual; but we are interested in the diversity of these traits in groups of men found in different geographical areas and in different social classes.

Franz Boas

I did a show a long, long time ago called ‘Cooking Mexican’. It was a studio show as opposed to on-location like the one I do now. Before my first show, I was a cooking instructor, and I did a whole lot of classes for home cooks about Mexican food.

Rick Bayless

With workout classes, I always want to know that I can improve with each class I take. But I don’t think I’ll ever master the art of peddling quickly with little resistance, at least not without feeling like I’m going to fly off the bike.

Hannah Bronfman

I’m from the Midwest, and guys like me don’t go on diets. We don’t do well on spinning classes.

Michael Moore

There are people who take tap class, do a tap dance. And then there are people who know the dance, who know why they take tap classes. Who know why they do 20 shuffles, or 50 shuffles, before they go on.

Savion Glover

The rule with my mom was that the only way that I could be an actress when I was young was that I continued to go to public school and get straight A’s in all my classes.

Sara Paxton

Very few parents keep up with who the top professors are or whose classes their kids are taking, partially because most undergraduates interact more commonly with graduate students.

Andrew Yang

When in college, I would hardly attend classes. In fact, we would go to other colleges and hang out there. Every six months, my friends and I would hit the roads and go to Goa. We weren’t rich kids, and our trips were on shoestring budgets. But, we hardly cut down on the fun.

Emraan Hashmi

There happened to be guitar classes at the college, and there was a guitar teacher there with whom I used to play. In addition, I also would go out into country schools and teach little kids basic guitar and singing a few times a week.

Mark Knopfler

After finishing my undergraduate work at the University of Iowa, where I took creative writing classes taught by Writer’s Workshop students, I applied to half a dozen MFA writing programs.

Andrew Shaffer

I keep my house tidy, because then I can think clearly. I feel the same about myself. Presenting yourself well is a working-class thing – my dad was a printer, but he wore a tie most days. The ungroomed look belongs more to the middle classes.

Gary Kemp

The liberal professions, and in a wider sense the well-to-do classes, are certainly those with the liveliest taste for knowledge and the most active intellectual life.

Emile Durkheim

I love to eat and I don’t believe in denying myself, so I have to work out. I’m not obsessed with it, I don’t have a trainer or do any of the fancy classes, but I usually put on my iPod and run on the treadmill for an hour a few days a week.

Amber Rose

The FCC banned throttling for good reason, namely that Internet service providers should not bias their networks toward some applications or classes of applications. Biasing the network interferes with user choice, innovation, decisions of application makers, and the competitive marketplace.

Marvin Ammori

I was like a hermit; I didn’t really have a lot of homies I would kick it with. I was in high school, I was failing all my classes, and I wanted to make music.

Cuco

There are dozens and dozens of improv classes across the nation, but it really cannot be taught.

Christopher Guest

I realized that I was African when I came to the United States. Whenever Africa came up in my college classes, everyone turned to me. It didn’t matter whether the subject was Namibia or Egypt; I was expected to know, to explain.

Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie

I’m used to teaching classes in the dark.

Royce Gracie

I do Y7 Yoga; I take a lot of Akin’s Army classes, soul cycle, boot camps, tone house, SLT, boxing. I do everything.

Nina Agdal

I don’t like trainers, because we distract each other. We talk too much, and I get too friendly. I prefer classes instead. I love Physique 57.

Chrissy Teigen

When I got to college I simply decided that I could speak French, because I just could not spend any more time in French classes. I went ahead and took courses on French literature, some of them even taught in French.

Lev Grossman

Mom developed an interest in ‘heritage-language education after noticing an increasing number of students in her UCLA classes whose parents were Russian.

Max Boot

When I finished grad school, I moved to Chicago proper, and I was at all the different improv schools, taking classes or interning.

Kay Cannon

The first dream I had was just to get a college education. I got through college in three years, taking extra classes in summer school.

Eli Broad

Acting classes, I guess, are good and I would like to maybe sometime take one. But I would feel like I was learning someone else’s technique. I like mine.

Frankie Muniz

The welterweight division has really emerged as one of our most exciting weight classes.

Scott Coker

It took many years of acting classes to get even remotely comfortable, but that’s OK. It helped me so much on a personal level, not to mention professionally.

Tamara Taylor

Nature hath given not only to the highest, but also to the inferior, classes of the people of this nation, a boldness and confidence in speaking and answering, even in the presence of their princes and chieftains.

Giraldus Cambrensis

I’ve taken classes most of my life, and it’s no secret among my friends I want to be in a movie about dance. Maybe ‘Step Up 2,’ with the delightful Channing Tatum.

Marsha Thomason

I recommend that people try new stuff or take new fitness classes all the time. It’s important to mix up your routine, not only for your body, but also for your mental state.

Alison Sweeney

Whether you’re a high school student, attend traditional college, or take night classes while working full-time, it is imperative that you are given the tools necessary to become competitive in the workforce.

Elise Stefanik

I speak Mandarin and can read and write a little. I took a few classes at Harvard to get better in my reading and writing skills.

Jeremy Lin

I’ve never been to acting classes or anything like that. Everything I do is quite instinctual.

Maia Mitchell

The histories of mankind are histories only of the higher classes.

Thomas Malthus

I like guys to stay at their weight classes and dominate. I don’t want guys moving up and down.

Dana White

I think the best thing I ever did was, years before I got the ‘Late Night’ show, when I first got out to Los Angeles to be a television writer, the first thing I did was I signed up to take improvisational classes… And I studied that for years, and I really loved it.

Conan O’Brien

There are three social classes in America: upper middle class, middle class, and lower middle class.

Judith Martin

I’m such a huge fan, and I’ve done classes of all Lady Gaga music. And she’s just someone who evokes freedom and love for her fans and passion in what she does. Lady Gaga, I’ll take you out for a salad anytime.

Richard Simmons

It’s easy to get next to music theory, especially between your peers and music classes and so forth. You just pay attention. I had a good ear, so I realized that printed music was just about reminding you what to play.

Quincy Jones

The middle and working classes are paying the debt that the financial markets created.

Javier Bardem

Put simply, no one in state government can create new specially protected classes except the General Assembly with the concurrence of the Governor.

Ken Cuccinelli

I did, like, two drop-in hip-hop dance classes when I was, like, 20, so I am no dance expert but I always love a challenge.

Drew Scott

My head works a little faster than people around me sometimes and it can be quite painful. It was a problem for me in school because I couldn’t sit down long enough. I couldn’t concentrate. So I didn’t go to classes very much.

Tricky

I chose my classes based on which professors did not take attendance, and then I traded Padres tickets for notes from class. I wasn’t the student of the month.

Theo Epstein

There are no limits to what I would do to make my classes exciting, interesting, unpredictable.

Philip Zimbardo

Books are divided into two classes, the books of the hour and the books of all time.

John Ruskin

My mother had been a country and western singer but when she moved out to Hollywood found it very difficult to get work so when I was born they put me into dance classes and singing classes as soon as I could walk actually.

Morgan Brittany

I don’t take acting classes – I’m quite an autodidact. I prefer to learn from other actors by watching various movies. Evaluate my acting, spot the flaws and fix them.

Joe Taslim

I see creative-writing classes as some sort of AA meeting. It is more of a support group for people who write than an actual course in which you learn writing skills. This support group is extremely important because there is something very lonely about writing.

Etgar Keret

At the ballet classes I took when I first came to New York, I would see great dancers like Cynthia Gregory and Lupe Serrano. I would look at them and study what they could do, and what I couldn’t do. And then I’d think maybe they should try what I could do.

Twyla Tharp

Afternoon classes – that evil invention!

John Gresham Machen

Lumpy and lazy; I aspired to lethargy. In the second year of university, I missed half my classes just because I couldn’t pull myself out of bed.

Victor LaValle

Dartmouth is a small school with high-caliber teaching. Our classes were all taught by professors, not teaching assistants. I felt like that was a school where I could make a big splash. The opportunities would be grander and more robust for me there than at a school with 40,000 students.

Aisha Tyler

The privileged classes today are bothered about petrol and diesel prices while the poor can’t afford two meals a day. I am a very small person, but I want us to think beyond personal and regional interests.

Lata Mangeshkar

All my graduation money went to paying for bartending classes so I could have a side gig. I bartended for two months before I was supposed to move to New York and then two months later I got the job as an understudy in ‘Sister Act’ and haven’t looked back since.

Patina Miller

I’d taken some classes at UCB in New York and again at the Magnet Theater and the PIT Theater. I definitely never advanced to where I was on a team or anything like that.

Reid Scott

I teach voice, and I teach pretty much just, like, whatever people need. So if they want me to work on a monologue with them, or if they want me to do some work with them, I do that. And then I do master classes, like at high schools – which is my most favorite thing to do.

Barrett Wilbert Weed

I have some classes in accounting, but I don’t know anything about accounting. I – you know, when my accountant tells me all the things he does, it’s a foreign language to me.

Ray Romano

My mother has been my mentor in my life. The number one attribute was discipline. To be on time to school, never miss a day at school, and then checking out homework and making sure I was doing it correctly and signing me up for lots of activities, extra tests and classes.

Ram Shriram

I got a letter from a mom, and she was telling me about how her daughter is a tomboy and the trouble she has in classes and being around boys. She herself had the same kinds of problems growing up and how inspired they were by me. That was such an incredible email to receive.

Elana Meyers

Between richer and poorer classes in a free country a mutually respecting antagonism is much healthier than pity on the one hand and dependence on the other, as is, perhaps, the next best thing to fraternal feeling.

Charles Horton Cooley

I wanted to be an actor, like, so, so bad. I took acting classes, I auditioned for Disney, and then I realized how nervous I got with remembering lines.

Shawn Mendes

Lots of the cooking classes open to non-professionals are too low-level for experienced foodies, or don’t offer enough hands-on training.

Homaro Cantu

Chuck Swindoll is somebody who I’ve read a lot over the years and have used his curriculum when I’ve taught Sunday school classes.

John Thune

I have a really hard time meeting people, so I wanted to take classes to get out of my social shell. Eventually, I opened up and realized, ‘Wow, I really enjoy this.’

Trevor Donovan

I have been taking classes and I’m familiar with stage, but I’m not as familiar with acting on camera.

Kevin Richardson

I went to dance classes from 9 in the morning until 1, then to school from 3 to 10 at night, always under the threat that if I failed a single course I could forget about dancing.

Victoria Abril

I dabbled in writing, wrote really bad poetry in high school. I also took a few writing classes when I was an undergrad at Stanford. I was so intimidated.

Jesmyn Ward

One marvels why the middle classes still insist on so much discomfort for their children at such expense to themselves.

E. M. Forster

Someone told me about drama schools, and they seemed like mythological places – you can really go and be in drama classes all day? I inadvertently entered into this world where people wore bicycle clips and did song-and-dance routines in the corridors.

Nick Moran

I did take some cooking classes in high school. Boys weren’t really supposed to take them. I had to risk being made fun of.

Paul Gilbert

We believed that growth through Local Government, and perhaps through some special machinery for bringing the wishes and influence of women of all classes to bear on Parliament, other than the Parliamentary vote, was the real line of progress.

Mary Augusta Ward

I’ve been taking art classes for a couple of years; I love to draw.

Meredith Baxter

A lot of author events are basically hour-long classes in entropy perched on bad seating under bright, hard lights, with – if you’re lucky – bad Chardonnay and cheese on a stick waiting for you at the end of the ride.

Nick Harkaway

No nation can have the policy that whole classes of people are immune from immigration law or enforcement. It was a simple decision by the administration to have a zero tolerance policy for illegal entry, period. The message is that no one is exempt from immigration law.

Stephen Miller

Nucleic acids are the main information-carrying molecules of the cell, and, by directing the process of protein synthesis, they determine the inherited characteristics of every living thing. The two main classes of nucleic acids are deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and ribonucleic acid (RNA).

Richard J. Roberts

Of course the lower classes have always felt downtrodden and aspired to a better life. But there is this theory that people respond to a class structure in England – there was a time when people knew who they were and knew whom they served and as long as management wasn’t abusive, it was a good life for people.

Damian Lewis

I explored the arts in general; I took painting classes and sketching classes and acting classes and all sorts of different things.

Margaret Qualley

As for tattoos, it does no good to remind curmudgeons that tattoos have been around for millennia. Yes, we will agree, tattoos have been common – first among savage tribes and then, more recently, among the lowest classes of Western societies.

Charles Murray

Had I to do it again, I would have been a math major, probably a double major, and did take a lot of math classes, but I would have taken a lot more.

Pardis Sabeti

I went to performing arts camp, secretly taking classes – I got the lead in the musical, and my dad was like, ‘Wait, I thought you were going here for music and knitting’.

Billie Lourd

Maybe I should take more acting classes or pursue a career in that.

Kiki Bertens

I don’t teach writing classes anymore, and I’m really glad I don’t, because I would feel very strange about telling people, ‘Go out there and be a writer, and make a living from it.’

Ursula K. Le Guin

In my brief sojourn in college, my favorite classes were political science because I loved the idea of systems we can set up that benefit society – rules we can put in place that sometimes you run against, sometimes they’re painful, but ultimately they benefit the world.

Matt Mullenweg

I really enjoy English and poetry and writing classes.

Taylor Momsen

I went to college at North Carolina School of the Arts and took a lot of singing classes, and it really is so connected to emotions.

Anna Camp

Once the working classes were in chains, now they’re in chain restaurants.

Will Self

Most American Jews came from the lower middle classes, and therefore they brought with them not a lot of Jewish culture. The American Jewish story starts with Ellis Island, and the candy store in the Bronx.

Arthur Hertzberg

Growing up in Seattle, I had the opportunity to take classes since I was 7 years old. I did theatre. I auditioned for film, television, commercials, and built up not just a resume but also some confidence. I learned how to master my craft before arriving in Los Angeles.

Zoe McLellan

Flying, for some reason, has never been my favorite thing, but after taking some aviation classes and reading about it and learning about it… They’ve been doing this for over a hundred years, they’ve been to the moon and back; they kind of have a good system going here.

Michael Mosley

We recognise in the finished art, which is the result of these conditions, the best words in the best order – poetry; and to put this essential poetry into different classes is impossible.

John Drinkwater

When I got to college, I was intending to study film. But I found that my brain was feeling mushy, so I took a few math classes. I started doing really well at them, and solving equations was this, like, drug rush.

Danica McKellar

When people say that college isn’t worthwhile and paying all this money isn’t worthwhile, I really disagree. I think those experiences and those classes that may not necessarily seem applicable in the moment end up coming back to you time and time again.

Kevin Systrom

Our economic future rests on the extent to which all students, especially those who represent America’s growing majority, have access to rigorous, college-preparatory classes and excellent teachers.

Chaka Fattah

I think my mom put me in tap classes when I was three, which I never pursued. I don’t know how to tap. Then we moved to Portugal when I was five, and, I think, she put me in ballet classes immediately. Then I was expelled for being too restless – I am too high energy – and was told I could go do rhythm gymnastics.

Daniela Ruah

‘The Old Social Classes and the Revolutionary Movement in Iraq,’ by Hanna Batatu. Few may wish to take on this massive, obscure work, but it changed my life, and I love it.

Adam Davidson

Prior to Elephant I’d taken about six years of acting classes in Portland, but there’s not a huge market there. The only thing we have is commercial stuff, and that didn’t really appeal to me. So this is really a dream come true.

John Robinson

It got a little stressful in my first two years of high school, trying to make conference calls with investors in between classes, but I definitely learned a lot of important time-management lessons.

Ben Casnocha

I began acting at age eight, but if you don’t stay on your game then people pass on you. Being on a show, it’s a little easy to get comfortable, so I’m trying to get back on it. I’m taking some acting classes and watching movies, and I’m just trying to stay up with other actors.

Jason Dohring

When I was a baby, my mom used to have a dance school, and she used to teach classes there. We didn’t have money for a babysitter, so she always brought me with her to the dancing school. Back then, I was already watching and listening to Michael Jackson for a long time.

Afrojack

Where do we enroll in Life 101? Where are the classes dealing with the loss of a job, the death of a loved one, the failure of a relationship? Unfortunately, those lessons are mostly learned through trial by fire and the school of hard knocks.

Les Brown

I’ve been teaching classes on memoirs since 1986, and I’ve been reading them all my life, and I think that I would like to write a critical book that might have some of those how-to elements in it.

Mary Karr

I like to do a couple of yoga classes during the week. Yoga for me is more of an elongating thing.

Jessica Biel

The conservatory professors thought everything should sound like French and German symphonies. But to my ear, bouzouki songs, which tell the sufferings and heartaches of ordinary people, offered a way to make classical music available not just to the upper classes.

Mikis Theodorakis

Sport must be the heritage of all men and of all social classes.

Pierre de Coubertin

Starting at age four, my mom decided that she was not going to have an idle child in the house. So I started taking dance lessons on Tuesdays and Thursdays, and then I was in acting classes on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, and I was also modeling on Saturdays. And that was my childhood.

Chandra Wilson

Third, for people who aren’t doing it already, take classes – they’re worthwhile. Workshops or classes – a workshop is where you do actually get feedback on your work, not just something where you go and sit for a day.

Octavia E. Butler

I hated high school. Ugh. I couldn’t wait until it was over so I could sleep in. In college, I made sure all my classes were in the afternoon. I hated getting up in the morning.

Mario Cantone

But in the Indian film industry, from the moment a child is born, he is taught music, he is taken for classical classes.

Rahat Fateh Ali Khan

When we are not extracting wealth from nature, we are extracting it from the working and middle classes.

Anohni

The need for reflection and restraint of power is what led Louis Freeh to order that all new agent classes visit the Holocaust Museum here in Washington so they could see and feel and hear in a palpable way the consequences of abuse of power on a massive, almost unimaginable scale.

James Comey

Despite the fact Hollywood classes me as a ‘type,’ I find the roles broad enough to handle all the acting technique I can summon together.

Peter Lorre

I love to travel and go to dance classes whenever I get time.

Radhika Apte

I do a bit of yoga – by myself, not classes. I like to go for long walks and to garden.

Freja Beha Erichsen

At Evergreen you can create your own major and your own classes. So I actually studied stand-up comedy.

Josh Blue

Journalism classes would have been interesting to me.

Adam Scott

I studied English literature; I took 2 independent religion classes, but I wasn’t a religion major really.

Maggie Gyllenhaal

I worked with the Groundlings, doing sketch comedy and improv at a theater here in L.A. It was my hobby, but I took classes and stayed passionate about it because it’s what I wanted to do. It just fit. It takes a while before you can actually make money at it. I worked for years.

Fortune Feimster

I do plenty of workouts – HIIT, spinning classes, Pilates, yoga.

Antoni Porowski

Some of the aspects of my speaking style are inherited and come naturally to me. I didn’t take classes, and I didn’t do anything to hone my skills.

Bernice King

I started taking acting classes when I was 14. That’s when I knew I wanted to try it professionally. Before that, I watched movies, always, but I didn’t think it was a real job. I watched Turner Classic Movies with my parents. I’ve always loved the old classics.

Julia Garner

I think my advice to other actors would be to get in classes. Get out in front of people. Put up scenes in front of your peers.

Chelsea Kane

I like to go to yoga classes and sweat a lot.

Denise Austin

I’ve always been pretty reserved, but after taking drama classes in middle school to get more comfortable performing in front of people, I thought I should try out for television.

Stephan James

When I was in seventh grade, I was bored out of my mind. We seemed to be learning the same things over and over in science and math, and two of the boys in my class were allowed to move ahead into these advanced classes, but I wasn’t allowed because I was a girl.

Eileen Pollack

I didn’t really have a normal high school experience. I was home-schooled and went to a co-op, so basically a school with about maybe 200 other home-schooled kids that would come together for classes.

Shannon Purser

My father taught me Basic and rudimentary C, I learned everything else on my own, including studying computational complexity on my own. That’s more a function of my age than anything else though – back when I was in school there were hardly any programming classes.

Bram Cohen

I took some classes in sign language when I was in my early teens because I was told that I would be completely deaf very early. But I never really wanted to learn.

Stephanie Beacham

Women of all classes are awakening to the necessity of self-support, but few are willing to do the ordinary useful work for which they are fitted.

Elizabeth Cady Stanton

In 2010, I was ranked top 50 in the deadlift in three different weight classes, and I won my first natural bodybuilding competition.

Matt McGorry

In literature classes, you don’t learn about genes; in physics classes you don’t learn about human evolution. So you get a fragmented view of the world. That makes it hard to find meaning in education.

David Christian

I majored in illustration at the Rhode Island School of Design, although I never had any intention of being an illustrator and didn’t take any classes in illustration there. It was just that the illustration degree had no requirements.

Brian Selznick

The working classes in every country only learn to fight in the course of their struggles.

Rosa Luxemburg

I have taught some master classes and things at my alma mater and sometimes at my kids’ school. I will go in and talk to the theater students. I wouldn’t really call myself a teacher.

Annie Potts

I took acting classes in college, and once I graduated, I decided to give acting a shot when I couldn’t really think of anything else to do. It took me a couple of years to get an agent, and my first big break was The Fanelli Boys, which was a sitcom on NBC. Then I did a few television movies.

Christopher Meloni

I had no interest in history classes. In fact, I used to sleep in history classes, I used to bunk classes. But that is how students are supposed to be, no? I developed an interest in history much later. I have made a few films based on historical facts.

Shekhar Kapur

I feel like, in acting classes, you’ll get up sometimes; that’s just the most vulnerable position you can be in. You’re among your fellow actors, yet they look at you, and they’re like, ‘You’ve been on TV. You’ve been in movies.’ It almost adds to the pressure.

Katie Cassidy

Society is composed of two great classes those who have more dinners than appetite, and those who have more appetite than dinners.

Nicolas Chamfort

I started taking all these cooking classes. I learned a lot in them, but you think you’re going to retain it, and you don’t. Under the pressure, it’s hard to retain everything.

Judy Gold

I don’t feel that Chinese designers have reached the level of prominence that European or American designers have, but we’ve noticed in fashion schools in the U.S. and in England and we’ve seen how much the makeup of the students in the classes have changed there in the last five to 10 years.

Anna Wintour

My wife herself had an upbringing where she wasn’t allowed to pursue what she wanted to do because of her parents. She wanted to go into photography and journalism, but because classes ran so late, she had to be home at a certain time. We don’t want that for our daughter.

Mustafa Ali

I attended speech and drama classes with a nun to help me gain confidence in speaking without my face turning red each time.

Emilia Wickstead

I don’t know everybody’s view on due process, but I do have an opinion on what the Constitution says, what the Pledge of Allegiance implies, what sixth- and seventh-graders are taught in civics classes, and I think it is that you’re going to have the opportunity to be heard.

Mike Leach

There is in fact no such thing as art for art’s sake, art that stands above classes, art that is detached from or independent of politics. Proletarian literature and art are part of the whole proletarian revolutionary cause.

Mao Zedong

For a long time all I wanted for Christmas were books about outdoor survival. I was convinced that the woods were calling me. I camped a lot, I took classes. At 18, I told myself if I don’t live in the woods by myself by the time I’m 25, I have failed.

Chris Evans

The piano has disappeared from working-class family life, which is a shame. It’s associated with the middle classes now. Everyone in my family sang and played piano, but my parents were delighted and amazed when I became the first professional performer in the family – apart from a clog-dancer way back.

Jools Holland

My dad took us to a couple of karate classes when we were young but we didn’t really get into it.

B. J. Penn

Since ‘Shamshera’ is set in a particular time, the dance sequences require me to have a very Indian, very classical body language, which is why I started taking kathak classes to learn the nuances and the grace.

Vaani Kapoor

Young women can be particularly hampered by a lack of female teachers, since they may not feel as comfortable in classes taught by men. And as more girls see educated women who are prominent in their careers and communities, the more positive role models there are for them to emulate.

Tae Yoo

I was in ballet classes, I took singing lessons, I started taking acting classes as a hobby. When I was younger, I had my mind set on dancing or singing.

Lexi Underwood

I don’t have much estimation of my abilities as a director, but I found I loved class and loved process and loved practice. And so I’ve put together classes of actors – oh my God – since I was 21 years old, I think.

Jeff Perry

Everybody gets everything handed to them. The rich inherit it. I don’t mean just inheritance of money. I mean what people take for granted among the middle and upper classes, which is nepotism, the old-boy network.

Toni Morrison

I’ve been doing some acting, writing classes, and taking a holistic approach so I can actually be good at this craft. But ideally I’d eventually want to get my own show and make my ‘Atlanta’ or my ‘Master of None’ – whatever that would look like – in whatever media landscape that would best suit it.

Jaboukie Young-White

For me, it is becoming increasingly clear that the price of unregulated globalisation, mass immigration and the free movement of labour is paid for by the lower classes.

Mette Frederiksen

After being signed for ‘Madras Cafe,’ I joined Jogi Singh’s acting classes, where I learned the basic nuances.

Raashi Khanna

The high-tech, globalized capitalism of the 21st century is very different from the postwar version of capitalism that performed so magnificently for the middle classes of the Western world.

Chrystia Freeland

When I was in college and reading music and doing ear training, I was a little more advanced than the other people in my choir classes. So to entertain myself and kind of annoy the friends around me, I would sing just under the pitch or just above the pitch.

Colleen Ballinger

If we don’t invest now in so-called priority neighbourhoods with music classes, athletic facilities, and skills training and mentoring, we will all pay more in the long run.

Dan Hill

And as journalists we look for differences – differences between countries, cultures, classes, and communities. We’re very sensitized to difference, but it’s much harder to write about similarities across countries, cultures, classes, and communities.

Amy Waldman

A deep river of must-have school mania runs through the chattering classes. There is, of course, the parental adrenaline rush at suburban cocktail parties that comes from announcing one’s son or daughter as an Ivy Leaguer.

Sandra Tsing Loh

The acting bug just seemed to stick with me. I loved going to theatre school in college and continued to train in film classes and had been auditioning for T.V. and movie roles since I was in my late teens. My career has been slow and steady, and I kind of like it that way.

Laura Mennell

I was going to be a doctor since I was three, so I was pre-med in college. Everything I did, every class I took, pointed toward the ‘holy M.D.’ Friends were taking wine-tasting classes, studying human sexuality, or redefining their views of the world in poli-sci, and I was memorizing anatomy and crying over o-chem.

Yael Cohen

In college, I would do my teammate’s hair and their makeup sometimes. I did a friend’s makeup at the 2008 Olympics, and she said, ‘Have you ever considered taking classes?’ For some reason, it had never crossed my mind.

Michelle Carter

Personally, I had a great education. My mum was a trained teacher, a Montessori teacher, and I know that I could not have written ‘Eragon’ if I had gone into a public school system because I would have just been too busy attending classes and doing homework – I wouldn’t have had the time to write.

Christopher Paolini

I went to a lot of theatre schools, got a lot of training, did a lot of repertory where you do a different play every night. I took a lot of voice, movement, and acting classes.

Jeffrey Combs

I think that I had read so much fiction that the craft itself sort of sank into me. I didn’t read any ‘how to’ books or attend any popular-fiction-writing classes or have a critique group. For many years into my writing, I didn’t even know another author. For me, a lot of reading was the best teacher.

Ann Maxwell

I don’t like the word ‘urban’ because I think it’s a bit of a generalisation and they use it to class music, but I don’t think it’s a word that necessarily classes music.

Taio Cruz

My mother really pushed me when I was young. I didn’t want to go to dance classes, but for some reason, when I was there, I didn’t want to come back.

Sylvie Guillem

I took the obligatory economics classes in school, but I’ve long been a fan of the Milton Friedman philosophy and its libertarian bent: One must be free to do what one wants to do, as long as you don’t harm another. This is the seminal treatise on free-market economics.

Charlie Trotter

If you get hungry mid-day, a banana is the best snack at your desk, after a workout, or in between classes. Fruit is a very good snack in general.

Marcus Samuelsson

I started playing violin when I was six, so I thought I could be a professional. It wasn’t until I was 15 when I got into acting classes and realized this was what I wanted to do.

Torrey DeVitto

That was the day I began cutting classes and returning to TV tapings; it ultimately led to a friendship with Johnny O, and an increasing fascination and respect for what he did.

Randy West

I can’t believe I managed to go through a liberal-arts and theater education and take all these women’s-studies classes and never have addressed that the ‘Muppets’ were all boys, except for one pig who was obsessed with herself!

Janet Varney

For acting, classes are a necessity, but for modeling it’s really just knowing who you are and knowing how to sell yourself.

Denise Bidot

But I stuttered as a kid. I went to classes to help it, and it just went away around fourth grade, when I became more aware of how others spoke, I think. But also, growing up in the South, a mumble is a way of speaking.

Channing Tatum

Hats divide generally into three classes: offensive hats, defensive hats, and shrapnel.

Katharine Whitehorn

At Leeds the idea of an international labour organization appeared in a trade-union text which also drew attention to the danger to the working classes inherent in the existence of international capitalist competition.

Leon Jouhaux

When I got to Cal, they tried to put me in safe classes, things I could succeed at. I went to Cal for an education. That’s definitely problematic. You see athletes taking majors that don’t add up to anything.

Jaylen Brown

I use filming as an excuse to take classes. I got my certification in sailing for ‘Wedding Crashers,’ and now I can handle a 26-foot boat. I played a seamstress once, so I took sewing classes. I love dipping into these other lives.

Rachel McAdams

In 1954 I was on Broadway for five months in ‘The Matchmaker’ and went once a week to the classes of Uta Hagen, a theatrical guru whose teaching in retrospect illuminated the whole of my training at the Old Vic.

Prunella Scales

If I eat something a little crazy or if I feel sluggish, I know I have to eat better the next day and work out. I work out, I do circuit training so I try to keep my heart rate up whether I’m doing cardio, lifting weights or jumping rope. I like to mix it up. I also take Zumba classes – I love those, those are a blast.

Jordin Sparks

I am a very shy and closed person. I stay in my house. The only time I go out is for award functions and maybe interviews. Because, this is part of my profession and I have to do it. Otherwise, I stay in my house or attend some classes.

Disha Patani

I loved plays, I loved films, but I had no desire to act until I had just put out my album ‘Like Water for Chocolate.’ Creatively, I felt like I’d hit a ceiling, and I needed something else to express myself, and I just decided to take acting classes.

Common

Bearing in mind most companies rely on the middle classes in developed countries to sell goods and services throughout the value chain, dealing with inequality is a matter of brutal enlightened self-interest. It’s simple economics: Global stability equals global growth equals profits.

Richard Quest

This is the problem for which revolutionary theory has yet to find the right solution, if there is one. The difficulty is that the economic interests of the two classes are antagonistic.

Garet Garrett

By the 1980s, practically no one under 60 in the real civilian world wore hats for anything except weddings, funerals or Ascot. Hats had been in competition with hair, and hair had won. Thirty years before that, Brits of all classes and ages wore hats all the time.

Peter York

It was important to focus on working-class women because we so rarely focus, particularly in period films, on the working people. The suffragettes brought together women of all classes, which was one of the striking things about the movement.

Sarah Gavron

Middle and high school is a time of people telling you who you are before you know who you are. I was in advanced classes at Frick and Schenley, and people would say I was trying to be white because of the way I spoke. Or they’d say I was gay.

Kyle Abraham

I started performing at school and drama classes when I was 7.
