It may be my rather puritanical upbringing at odds with my inborn laziness that makes me feel guilty at the end of the day, unless I am able to point at some achievement. But this need be no more impressive than cooking a meal or going for a long walk.
Ian McKellen
Obviously I was well aware that I had what people consider a privileged upbringing. My mom was never a bake-cookies sort of mom. I really had no reins whatsoever.
Anderson Cooper
I have no intention of giving up my Canadian heritage, and all those who loved and supported me. My upbringing in Canada made me the person I am. I will always be proud to be a Canadian.
Jim Carrey
It`s very interesting that most of the roles I`ve gotten are grim, when I`m actually a very well-adjusted man and had a happy upbringing. I guess there are some dark shadows somewhere in there, but I`m a big kid.
Tony Todd
I had a really wonderful upbringing. We were a tight family. It was wonderful to grow up with so many siblings. We were all just a year or two apart, and we were always so supportive of each other. I learned everything from my older brother and sister and...
Joaquin Phoenix
I started doing physical comedy, because I was like a moving target. You know what British audiences are like - `he`s shit, kill him!` My upbringing taught me to keep moving.
Lee Evans
I believe that we all have the potential to love any human being, and that genetics, upbringing, choice, social conditioning and environment play a major part in which way we sway. I believe that we all have the potential to love any human being, and that...
Kathy Najimy
What I took back, because of my exposure to the Jewish music of the 30s and the 40s in my upbringing with my father, was that kind of theatrical songwriting. It was always a part of my character. This desire to make people laugh.
Pete Townshend
We were constantly moving to different countries and adjusting to new things. It was such a free feeling. I`m glad I didn`t have a traditional upbringing.
River Phoenix
To have had a religious upbringing at least assures that in your own mind you are a Jew first, and the object of other people`s dislike second
John Gross
The Duchess of Windsor never tried to hide her American upbringing or her love of fashion, even though the English prefer a royal family dressed in gum boots and head scarves.
Anthony White
The country experience was more of a departure. When you consider my education and my upbringing, you can see that was more of country rock outgrowth of my popular music aspirations.
Tom Wopat
She started out with the way Nellie started her life. Missouri is where she grew up. She had a hard childhood and upbringing that we didn`t realize. Nellie had a fascinating life.
Beth Miller
I suppose for whatever reason I actively welcome being put down, something which perhaps goes back to my upbringing - that accusation of not being worthy which could be laid at one`s door.
Amy Butler
I spent my first three weeks there on a wing with 21 murderers. I met some very evil people there but also some men who`d had no upbringing, no chance in life.
Jeffrey Archer
I had a Christian upbringing - it was all about sin and guilt. I was very happy just kissing people. I was like the make-out queen - not even second base.
Mira Sorvino
I became alienated from this religious upbringing, and started making music. I wanted to be a big star. All those things I saw in the films and on the media took hold of me, and perhaps I thought this was my god: the goal of making money.
Cat Stevens
