Grew Quotes

We focus a lot on culture specifically at Twitter because of this spotlight, and of the fact that we don’t want to end up like the child actor who found success early and grew up all weird and freaky Picture Quote #1

I grew up in a very ‘Friday Night Lights,’ sports-focused town. I did not play the sports. I was never bullied physically, but I was called names. I was also an overweight kid. I knew what it’s like to feel like the other, to feel written off for things that were not in my control - my appearance, my interests Picture Quote #1

My mom was a folk singer and Celtic harpist. My dad was in a barbershop quartet and my great grandma was an opera singer. As I grew up, I discovered pop music and Top 40 radio, but it was in the 90s, so music was very different then - it was really lyrical Picture Quote #1

My mother always cooked, every day, proper food. We didn’t have fast food. It was probably pretty much meat and two veg, but as time went on and new things came into the culture, she embraced all of that. I grew up with mealtimes and sitting around the table with proper cooking and eating Picture Quote #1

I grew up with coconuts as the main flavor in food in Jamaica. It’s part of our culture Picture Quote #1

I grew up with a single mother, and although we didn’t have a lot of money, she cared a great deal about what we ate. We were the original health-food family. We shopped at what were called health-food stores before Whole Foods - everything came from bins Picture Quote #1

I grew up in a football family, on the sideline. I was a waterboy. It was kinda something I was around my whole life Picture Quote #1

I grew up in Doncaster and have felt the love for football run through the town; it’s for that reason that I have a real personal passion to make Doncaster Rovers a success story Picture Quote #1

I grew up wrestling and playing football where, at the end of the game, you have a score and you’re either the winner of loser. There’s no score in acting, but you qualify your level of success by the people that you work with and the amount of exposure that you have Picture Quote #1

I grew up playing hockey and some football, and I always think about the first time you walk into the locker room on a new team. The cliques are looking at you funny, and you make one friend, but then they’re trying to stab you in the back Picture Quote #1

I grew up half the time in a small town called Mart, Texas, and half the time in L.A., because I was acting. My high school was crazy about football Picture Quote #1

When I was in high school, my mom hated football. But then, the more I played, the more it grew on her. This game has done a lot for my family - not just from a financial standpoint, but it also helped bring my family together Picture Quote #1

When I look back on when I grew up, not even football players lifted weights. That was back 50 years ago Picture Quote #1

I grew up with the religion of ‘Star Wars,’ frankly. That’s when I realized there is something bigger out there... and it’s called The Force Picture Quote #1

People have asked me why are Australians and Brits so good at American accents, and it’s quite simple. We grew up listening to the American sound on our TV. That’s why American actors have a hard time with foreign accents Picture Quote #1

I grew up in a two-bedroom house with my grandfather, my mom and dad and four kids. I slept on the couch or on the floor, and I always wanted to have my own space Picture Quote #1

The first seven years of my life, me, my mom and dad and my four older siblings lived in a suburb of Stockholm, and my mom was very active with directing theater. So I basically grew up at the theater on the floors of the shows, so I was really surrounded with music at a young age Picture Quote #1

I’m from Brooklyn. I grew up very poor- seven people, four rooms. My dad had no education Picture Quote #1

My dad grew up in Pittsburgh in the 50s, and he used to sing Four Seasons songs on the stoop. He made me listen to Cousin Brucie - the guy who broke the Four Seasons on the radio. So I knew all of their songs, but I didn’t know they were all by the same group Picture Quote #1

I grew up in a craftsman’s home, where things were done with our own hands. I did cabinetmaking for four years and I hated it Picture Quote #1

I grew up in the South under segregation. So, I know what terrorism feels like - when your father could be taken out in the middle of the night and lynched just because he didn’t look like he was in an obeying frame of mind when a white person said something he must do. I mean, that’s terrorism, too Picture Quote #1
