Grew Quotes

I grew up in a society where everything you did was eavesdropped on, recorded, snitched on. I had friends when we were kids getting into trouble for telling anecdotes about Communist leaders Picture Quote #1

I grew up in predominantly black neighborhoods and went to predominantly black schools. And hip-hop is what I grew up listening to in my teenage years. Basically I’m just being myself Picture Quote #1

I loved growing up in Canada. It’s a great place to grow up, because - well, at least where I grew up - it’s very multicultural. There’s also good health care and a good education system Picture Quote #1

Every small boy wanted to be a steam engine driver when they grew up in the old days, including me. There’s something very special about them - the noise, the smell, the steam coming out everywhere Picture Quote #1

I’d never really experienced the West before moving to Colorado. The East Coast, where I grew up, has a lot of big cities, like Boston and New York, and is more densely populated, and I instantly fell in love with the big open spaces of the West, where you can see not just for a few miles but for a few hundred miles Picture Quote #1

I grew up in a completely bookless household. It was my father’s boast that he had never read a book from end to end. I don’t remember any of his ladies being bookish. So I was entirely dependent on my schoolteachers for my early reading with the exception of The Wind in the Willows, which a stepmother read to me when I was in hospital Picture Quote #1

The Emperor himself amassed his great riches. The older he grew, the greater became his greed, his pitiable cupidity... he and his people took millions from the state treasurer and left cemeteries full of people who had died of hunger, cemeteries visible from the windows of the royal palace Picture Quote #1

Where I grew up, I could be a punk rocker and a jock. But in college, it became apparent that those two worlds didn’t mix. When I brought my guitar back to school after Thanksgiving break, a friend handed me his bass and said, ‘Listen to the Ramones.’ Picture Quote #1

Billy Joel is an incredible musician. He just feels like one of the guys, you know. I grew up listening to his music Picture Quote #1

The Forest of Arden, where I grew up, is where As You Like It is set. It was idyllic Picture Quote #1

I grew up listening to Tupac, Biggie and other hip hop artists in the 90s. To this day, their music is still some of my favorite Picture Quote #1

I grew up in a kibbutz in the Galilee, but we were surrounded by Arabic villages, so I heard all these sounds and all this music. My father was very close friends with one of the Bedouin tribes, so I would always go there, to weddings, and I was always very fascinated by that music Picture Quote #1

I grew up reading comics. I was primarily an ‘X-Men’ fan, but I definitely dressed up as Spider-Man for Halloween when I was, like, 12 years old. Maybe younger than that Picture Quote #1

I grew up in New Mexico, and the older I get, I have less need for contemporary culture and big cities and all the stuff we are bombarded with. I am happier at my ranch in the middle of nowhere watching a bug carry leaves across the grass, listening to silence, riding my horse, and being in open space Picture Quote #1

I watched my parents in their leadership callings in the Church and the community. We just grew up knowing that we should serve and do whatever we could do to make things grow Picture Quote #1

I understood that menstruation - the indication that you’re a real woman - stopped if you grew weak from illness Picture Quote #1

My father was a man of the theater. I grew up in a theater family. As a young man, as a boy, I gypsied around with my siblings and my parents to, like, eight different towns, went to eight different schools. All those things were extremely formative, and I think that’s what happens Picture Quote #1

I had a healthy appetite [being pregnant]. I got more healthy as time goes on, and they grew. I never let myself go Picture Quote #1

I grew up watching American movies. My favorite movies have always been American, since as long as I can remember. I always had this huge respect for American filmmakers and American actors Picture Quote #1

Beside my obvious physical structure, I have been told on almost every set I’ve been on that I am a joy to have around. I grew up as a team player on team sports. Later as a doorman where you had to watch each other’s back and trust the guy beside you Picture Quote #1

I love dogs. I grew up with dogs in my family from the time that I was a little boy; we always had German Shepherds and Labradors. I get on very well with dogs, they trust me Picture Quote #1

Before me, my grandfathers, my uncles and my father were all boxers because Native Americans had to box in boarding schools. But in my time, when I grew up in Lawton Oklahoma, we didn’t have boxing. I was a wrestler Picture Quote #1

Led Zeppelin, they still rule the airwaves. I hear Zeppelin every day, and they’ve been around since 69. So the people who grew up with that still listen to that, and now their children listen to it Picture Quote #1

I felt like I already knew how to race by the time I was four. I was always at the race track with my dad. I watched him race thousands of laps in a sprint car standing on top of a trailer watching him, getting down and cleaning the mud off his car. That’s just what I grew up doing Picture Quote #1

I grew up with my older brother listening to hip hop, and Jay-Z was the main person I listened to. When it comes to his word play, he’s just out of this world. That’s my biggest inspiration when it comes to writing lyrics Picture Quote #1

I am a storyteller, and I grew up with a father who told big-fish stories, so storytelling is very much a part of me. It was a part of my family Picture Quote #1

For the better part of my life, I was always trying to manufacture somehow what I would consider ‘living.’ Because I grew up sort of upper-middle class and I didn’t relate so much to that as a life, and I wanted to really find ‘living.’ Picture Quote #1

That’s how we grew up - kinda like Pops would put his drums, his percussion and instruments into the car and we would just go to a facility in the Bay Area and he would say to us, ‘You think we have it bad? There are people worse off than we are. Let’s go give back to the kids.’ And that’s how we grew up Picture Quote #1

I wasn’t a bad kid. I was a good kid. But I had gotten in a lot of fights ‘cause in the neighborhood I grew up in, that wasn’t equated with bad behavior almost. I mean, we’d fought like it was another game. ‘You wanna play stick ball today?’ ‘Nah, let’s go fight.’ Picture Quote #1

It’s so funny; I grew up in the Midwest, I have two older brothers, and you’re just as competitive playing football as you are eating pickled eggs, or trying to kill zombies. As long as you don’t take it too far, I think it’s a good way for people to relate Picture Quote #1
