Went Quotes

When I went to high school, in the late 1970s, disco was in full swing and anyone who was into it dressed the part. I know I did Picture Quote #1

When I went to film school about three years ago, the first two years you’re required to make a series of short films. I started making films based on short poems Picture Quote #1

I know what it’s like to struggle for cash. When I went to drama school, I worked as a chambermaid to make ends meet Picture Quote #1

I used to be really cute. I could send you earlier photos where I’m stunning. But I’ve gained about twenty pounds over the past two years, and the more weight I’ve put on, the more success I’ve had. If you drew a diagram of weight gain and me getting more work, a mathematician would draw some conclusions from that Picture Quote #1

I dabbled a little bit in acting in high school, and then I forgot about it completely. And then at about 25 I went to a class. I don’t think anybody in my family thought it was an intelligent choice. I don’t think anybody thought I’d succeed, which is understandable. I think they were just happy that I was doing something Picture Quote #1

The only really safe thing to do is to write a diary of where you’ve been, what time you went to bed, what you ate. If I wrote honestly about everything I think it’d be a disaster. It would cause a lot of trouble Picture Quote #1

I never thought that I could make a living out of my voice, to be completely honest. I thought that I could probably keep playing pubs. And it was exciting for me to get even just a pub gig in my town or country, when I went to university Picture Quote #1

I realised that you couldn’t use the tools of yesterday to communicate today’s world. Basically, that was the big light that went on in my head Picture Quote #1

More people have more access to more readers for less money than ever before in history. It means a lot of dross; but it means a lot of very talented people can find and nurture a readership in ways that were not possible twenty years ago. From a creative perspective, that is all that writing is about Picture Quote #1

When I was a young person I went to the university and I learned a rational language, to think with the left side of the brain. But in the right side of the brain you have intuition and imagination. Words are not the truth; they indicate the way to go, but you need to go alone, in silence. Symbols have a language that kills the words Picture Quote #1

The truth is when I went to graduate school I would’ve said I was among the least talented of the students, I was certainly the least smart, or less educated. But I worked very hard Picture Quote #1

I feel like people want there to be this mystery between film and theater, but I just kind of went where I got jobs, you know? Picture Quote #1

Obama, he wouldn’t have been in office without what happened to me and a lot of black people before me. He would never have been in that situation, no doubt in my mind. He would get there eventually, but it would have been a lot longer. So I am glad for what I went through. It opened the doors for a lot of people Picture Quote #1

I went to college because I felt like I was supposed to. I graduated from public high school and I did all the things that I was supposed to do Picture Quote #1

I decided to always sing in the back with the chorus and never went up front because I had trouble performing Picture Quote #1

I think, for the majority of my twenties, I was always so concerned with what I didn’t have, or what I still wanted Picture Quote #1

I knew I was never going to play professional sport, but I loved playing and I went to all the games I could afford to Picture Quote #1

And that’s my honour, that’s what my goal is, to always keep my mum’s name ringing, because I know what sacrifices she went through for me Picture Quote #1

I couldn’t speak well. I went to speech therapy for 10 years. And I was sort of frustrated in that sense Picture Quote #1

The stock market to me was like a video game. When it went off, it was like turning the game off. It wasn’t something I’d think about until I’d turn the machine on again Picture Quote #1

I went through a period where I just wanted to punch everybody. Since then, I’ve had a lot of therapy and I’ve figured a lot of things out Picture Quote #1

I was very fascinated by the time when firearms went from being fire sticks to being something people could use to hunt and to survive Picture Quote #1

I went to a high school that didn’t have many people in it. There were, like, 60 people in my senior class. There was a group of cool kids and a group of really dorky kids, and I was probably the coolest of the really dorky kids Picture Quote #1

I was the youngest in my family. When the other kids went to school, my mother would make them breakfast and then she would go back to bed for an hour, so I was sort of babysat by television Picture Quote #1

I went through a huge transition in my life where everything and everyone I knew and trusted didn’t turn out to be that way Picture Quote #1

My dad worked two jobs and moved us to the suburbs, and just being a black person, I went through a lot of racism and being called names and being bullied every single day. And it was hard. I didn’t have any friends Picture Quote #1

If you have reason to think that yesterday’s forecast went wrong, there is no glory in sticking to it Picture Quote #1

When I lost my weight, I went and bought about 15 different types of underwear to see what would look good on my new body. It’s exciting! Picture Quote #1

People don’t really know themselves until they’re 30. Like most people nowadays, I went to university, got a degree and wandered for a bit. I trained to be a chartered accountant, which I didn’t much enjoy, and it was only slowly that the idea of becoming a creative writer gelled Picture Quote #1

You have a number of choices. You could continue to always fight against people who are really distractions. They’re people in the cheap seats of life. Or you can do what you went there to do Picture Quote #1
